SECRETARY OF UNITED STATES
TREASURY SUBMITS ANNUAL
REPORT TO CONGRESS.

ALDRICH PLAN FAVORED


Observation-Disclosures for the i'm
mediate reform of the country s
banking and currency system and sci
entific tariff legislation, based upon
entirely new reasons--the practical
experiences of the customs service
stand out prominently in the annual
report of Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh, submitted to congress.
This statement of the nation S
finances bristles with urgent sugges-
tons for corrective financial laws,
enacted in the light of the lamp of
experience"
The secretary of the treasury fore
sees, according to the estimate of eX-
perts, surplus in the treasury at the
end of the fiscal year 1913 of about
$29,0O0,00o, exclusive of expenditures
on the Panama canal Including the
estimated canal disbursements, how
ever, the treasury will face a deficit
of approximately $S,000,000. The total
estimates of expenditures for next
year, exclusive of the Panama ca
nal any postal service payable from
postal revenue, are $637, SOB. The
estimates of receipts available for the
general fund are $667,000,OO0. The
estimates for the construction of the
Panama canal during the next year
are $47,263, 76O, making a grand to-
tai of estimated expenditure of $685.
1S4,563.
The tentative plan of the national
monetary commission, outlined by its
chairman, former Senator Aldrich, he
says, satisfies in its essentials the
larger part of the expert opinion of
the nation and is supported by the
business men. The secretary pledges
the administration to do its part in
keeping this financial issue wholly
non-partisan, believing that the re-
suit should be the product of both
parties.
In the contemplated reorganization
Of the financial structure, Mr. Mac
Veagh emphasizes the absolute need
Of prohibiting all banks, national and
state, from holding stock in other
banks, as a safeguard against any
possible formation of a much feared
money trust" in the future. He
urges equality of national and state
banks in doing trust company and
savings bank business.

RUSSIAN RELATIONSHIPS
President Taft Asks Senate to Abro
gate Russian Treaty.

Washington-Pres Taft turn
ed over to the senate the task OF
completing the abrogation of the
treaty of 1882 with Russia, because OF
alleged determinations against Amer
lean citizens of Jewish faith.
Ignoring the house of representa-.
tives, the president sent a message to
the senate announcing that he had
caused notice to be forwarded to st.
Petersburg that the United States de.
sired the treaty to end January l,
1918. This notification was officially
handed to the representatives of the
Russian government.
In his message to the senate, Pres,
ident Taft transmitted a copy of the
letter which American Ambassador
Guild at st. Petersburg had trans
mitted to the Russian foreign office.
In it was pressed the view of the
United States that the old treaty no
longer met the political principles or
commercial needs of the two nations
and should be terminated The Amer
lean government, with marked cour-
tesy, suggested further that it would
be most agreeable to this country if
a new treaty, along modern lines,
could be negotiated to replace the
ancient and outlived document.
Despite this overture to the Rus
sian government, state department of
icials practically admitted that there
was little hope for negotiating a new
treaty that would avoid the very
things that were leading to the de-
nunciation of the old one.

Tones Of Insects.

An investigator, given to the collec-
ton of curious data, has observed that
there are at least three different tones
emitted by insects; low one during
flight, higher one when the wings
are held in such manner that they do
not virbrate, and yet higher tone
when the insect is held SO that none
Of its limbs can be moved, This last,
1t is pointed out. is the voice prop
er" of the insect. In some cases 1t
is produced by the stigmata of the
thorax.

When a clock does not run continu-
ously, or stops frequently, the cause is
often due to lack of oil. This may be
remedied by saturating a piece of abb
sorbent cotton with kerosene oil and
placing It inside the clock, below the
pendulum. When the cotton is re-
moved a month or so later it is found
to be very dirty. This shows that the
fumes Of the kerosene oil have not
only oiled the clock, but have also
cleaned pictorial Review.

THE IDEAL OPERA
One in Which the Book and Score
Are of Equally Absorbing
Interest

The key to an understanding Of the
Importance Of the librettO lies in the
term that Wagner used to describe
the art work of the future; he called
this a music drama The eXclu-
sive lover of music is tempted to look
down on opera. because its music is
contaminated with its drama; and for
similar reason the exclusive lover
Of the drama is not attracted To opera
because the drama is there more or
less sacrificed to the music, writes
Brander Mathews i'm Munsey's. But
there are many operagoers who best
relish music and the drama when
they are presented in conjunction.
In a music drama of the highest
type-in Wagner's "Tannhauser," for
example-the music and the drama
are Siamese twins: they were brought
forth at "A single birth. Each helps
the other, and neither calls upon the
other for any undue or overt sacri-
flee. They can be enjoyed together
better than they can apart. since each
depends upon the other; and united
