TREASURY COND|T|ONGOOD|
Operations Show Surplus of
S1.OOO,00O for November.
GAIN OF $1,000, 900 IN CASH
Expenditures Decrease and Re-
ceipts Increase-No Immedi-
ate Need for Panama Bonds.

Washington, Dec November was
highly favorable month for the finances of
the United States Treasury. II produced
surplus on all accounts Of nearly sl.ooo. 900.
where October had produced q deficit of
more than s5,0o0.000.
The condition of the cash in the Treasury
shows a corresponding Improvement for
the month. December opened with
working balance Of S4. 000 on hand and
$50, 500, coo in the general fund. an improve
ment of $1,000 600 in the cash available for
Immediate operations. This would seem to
justify Secretary MacVeagh's confidence in
the Treasury's ability to maintain itself for
the present without new financing.
If the drain OF Panama Canal operations,
amounting to s.. 900 for the month. which
were not intended as a charge on the
Treasury, were eliminated from the caicu-
Iation, November would have shown a sur
plus Of more than s4.0OG,0O0 over all ex-
penditures.
Cuts in the governments expenses and a
gain of $1,000 900 in the receipts over last
month are partly responsible for the show
ing. Customs and internal revenues made
decided gains and brought the months s
total up to SIS, 10000. A decrease of 81
0DU.O-0 in the civil expenditures. sZ.Nu,eT III
the army. So 1G0,O00 In the navy and other
items brought the expenditures for Novern-
mer down to s54 200, 600 about A0o0.0o0 less
than the month before
As compared with this date last year, re-
ceipts are 100000 more and expenditures
$1,000, 600 less. The result is that the total
deficit for this fiscal year to date is 800
000.O0O. as against $44. 100000 this time last
year
The general condition Of the Treasury s
finances seems to indicate that there will
be bond issue in the immediate future.
It Is believed that Secretary MacVeagh is
well equipped to seek advantageous terms
for any future issue of Panama bonds. The
general understanding is that he will ask
Congress at this session to enact Iegisia-
ton which would make 1t possible to offer
the securities to the investors and enable
the Treasury to reimburse itself for $780,
600, 600 advanced to the Panama Canal and
recover its balance.
National bank circulation Increased about
s2.0GO,OOO in the month, due to the oTganiza-
ton of new banks. All the nnts have
been busy and have coined more than sl6
00O,O00 of which $1,000 600 was gold

FOR BROOKLYN DRYD0CK
Secretary Meyer Wants $780,
900 to Complete No. 4.
from The Tribune Bureau

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. Dec 1.-The Secretary of the
Navy will have to ask Congress for an
emergency appropriation, as the result Of
the peculiar zeal of a government con-
tractor. who has broken all records by
threatening to complete the neu Brooklyn
drydock several months ahead Of time.
The appropriation for this years work on
the dock has been exhausted and IL funds
cannot be provided at once further opera
tons will necessarily be suspended and
more than 40 men thrown out Of work on
Christmas Eve, possibly 10 remain so un-
til July /. while the completion of the dock
will be delayed six months or more. Sec
retary Meyer at once laid the proposition
before the President, who is expected to
authorize him to ask Congress for a spe-
cial appropriation of $50. 900. which will be
necessary to carry on the work until July
/. when the regular appropriation will be-
come available. Mr. Meyer has submitted
estimates Of 100000 for the year BEGIN
ming July next.
In order to prevent any delay. even until
Congress can grant such an approximation
Mr. Meyer investigated the possibility OF
transferring the necessary funds tempo
rarily TO this use. He was advised against
this. however, by Solicitor Butler and the
President
Mr. Meyer feels warranted in preseu ting
this situation to Congress. as IL Is brought
about by the contractors. the HoIbrook
Cabot & Rawlings Corporation, performing
practically a years work in sig months
The progress was so astonishing that
while passing through New York recently
Mr. Meyer stopped to look at IT, to con-
vince himself IL was actually true
Several years Of valuable time having
been lost on this work by previous con-
tractors. the navy officials have been
highly gratifed over the businesslike man
ner in which the new contractors are rush
ing It to completion
Secretary Meyer Is having another diff

ship construction because of the eight hour

the Florida has proved so expensive that
the current appropriation for that work

year, and II appears doubtful whether the

Mr.. Meyer hopes TO obtain the Presidents

WEEKS ON LEGISLATION
Expects Little at Coming Session
Chance for Ocean Mail Bill.
rFrom Tn. Tribune Bureau.


washington. Dec. Representative John
Weeks. of Massachusetts,, chairman of the
Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads.
does not look for much general legislation
al the short session OF Congress
MI Weeks would make no forecast as to
the character of legislation which will be
considered by his committee at the coming
session. II is known that he will do his
utmost TO secure favorable report on any
postof1ice measures which the President
urges but the House leaders do not expect
that Mr. Taft will advocate any new legis-
lation along this line, except a change in
the second class mail rate so as to differ
entiate between reading and advertising
matter. The postal reorganization bill is
so technical and comprehensive a measure
that II would be practically impossible to
consider il fully at the short session, and
IL is believed that If il should be brought
up it would effectually block all other gen
-ral legislation. The same sentiment is
entertained toward the parcels post, al
though II this measure is recommended by
the President 1t will probably be reported
bv the Postofice Committee and sent to
the Senate.
So far as can be ascertained at present,
the House leaders expect to pass the ocean
mail subventon bill The clause in the
Humphrey measure providing for free ships
viii probably be stricken out The advo-
Gates Of this measure feel that the last
chance has come, for several years at least
and there is little question that the bill
' III be put to a vote Efforts are being
made by these men to secure a strong rec
onrnendaffon from President Taft. Other
measures which are almost certain TO be
considered are the conservation bills, those
pertaining TO the disposition of lands with
drawn under last sessions bill and for the
disposition or lease OF water power sites.
Il is realized that these measures are nee
essary. in order that the government and
the people living on and near these lands
may derive some benefit from them.
