booming a gold mine in North Carolina
was called today for Saturday morning
by Chairman Kern of the committee. Sen
ator Kern reached Washington today
after weeks absence.
Senator Kern said that he thought the

a subcommittee, since it would be difficult
to get quorum of the full committee to
meet every day with SO much legislative
business under way in other committees.

BRITISH FROM MEXICO
President Wilson Says That
the Situation Is Fa-
vorable

Washington, July 3 Movements Of
French and German cruisers in gulf
water were discussed here yesterday in
connection with suggestions from Vera
Cruz that Huerta's family, and perhaps
the dictator, himself, would take refuge
on one of the vessels.
The cruisers were represented to have
sailed for Puerto Mexico, gulf terminus
of the iehuantepec line to Mexico City.
Constitutionalists here have declared
that their forces are prepared to cut
the line if Huerta attempts to leave
the capital.
After conference with Secretary
Bryan, President Wilson authorized the
statement yesterday that the Mexican
situation was as favorable as ii may
be until the Mexican factions get to-
gether Further the president refused
to discuss the Mexican situation.
While no statement was made at the
White House regarding the recess of the
mediation conference, officials close to
the president said he was very hopeful
that Huerta, Carranza and Villa would
agree on definite plan for settling
the internal affairs Of Mexico.
The president still is hopeful that me-
diation will bring about peace, and he
believes that it already has accomplish
ed much good. He takes the view, it
was said, that mediation has greatly
increased the good feeling between the
United States and ali Latin American
and has shown that the Unit
ed States never had any intention of at
lacking Mexico with the idea of terri |
torial aggrandizement.
Sir Lionel Garden, British minister in |
Mexico City, has advised the embassy
here that special train bearing Brit |
ish refugees will leave Mexico City to- |
day. The plan to carry the refugees to
Puerto. Mexico, has been abandoned and |
they will be taken to Vera Cruz. The I
British subjects are leaving the Next

erence, made efforts to get in commune

Rguring out die sao,ooo.0oo surplus pre-.

figuring out the S30,00oO00 surplus pre-.
dicted by Secretary McAdoo for the fis-
cal year closing June 80, IDA. 1t looks
as if llth- hour receipts reported by tele-
graph would about give the expected
margin. Mr.. McAdoo's first estimate of
sos, 100000 from corporation and income
tax was seen early to be excessive, and
the secretary reduced his estimate to
$T5,000,000. The latest figures published,
those of June 20, give trihe over S45,-
600, 900, but il is said that from $20,-
100000 to $25,000000 came in Tuesday.
Ordinary internal revenue receipts will
be more than $305,000,000, or about the
estimate, but miscellaneous receipts have
been unexpectedly swelled. The unfor-
tunate provision that the penalty for
delay in paying the income tax shall not
apply until 10 days after second notice
has been received is likely to throw into
the figures for 1915 a heavy return to
which 1914 is equitably entitled. Chair
man Underwood's recent estimate OF
$4,000, 900 customs receipts in excess OF
the original estimate bids fair to be con-
lirmed, with customs revenue making
total of about 1922 100000. The prayed
for S30,000,000 surplus does not take into
account Panama canal disbursements of
more than S34.000000, but :hese never
have been chargeable among the items
Of ordinary expenditure.

Old Philadelphia Packets. (Phila delphia. Rulletin.l

Touching on the Cope line of packets which used to sail from Walnut street wharf, the following contribution describes the early type. of vessel in the service:
 At the period of which I speak the sailing packets were ships of 500 to 500 tons burden. The state rooms-as the little cabins ranged on either side of the saloon were termed-were be- low the sea level. They were incom- modious, dark and i'll ventilated: in fact, the only light they enjoyed was that furnished by small pieces of ground glass inserted in the deck overhead and from fanlights in the doors opening to the saloon, and this was so poor that the occupants of the state rooms could not even dress themselves without making use of lamp.

The three turned states evidence. and 1t was on their testimony that the four were convicted and that Becker was found guilty of having instigated the crime. District Attorney Whitman's quick action in the case is believed to have been responsible for the con- viction of the four gun men and Lieu- tenant Becker. He took personal charge of the case before sunrise a few minutes after the murder oc- cured. and in spite of the opposition and poor memories of various mem- bers of the metropolitan police he carried the case through to a suc- cessful conclusion. The men were tried before and sentenced by Judge Golf. The arrow in the accompany ing prison picture indicates the death house at Sing Sing.

 traffic expert report made to Pres ident Taft estimated that during the year 1915 1O,500,000 net tons would pass through the Panama canal, of which amount the coastwise trade of the United States. now free from tolls under existing law, was estimated at 1,160,000 tons.
 The rate of tolls as established by President Taft is to be $1.20 per net ton, this being ten cents per ton less than the Suez rate collected in the British controlled canal.
 Our coastwise trade being free, the tolls to be collected from the other tonnages. as per this estimate, would amount to about $11.3o0,000.
 The costs of maintenance and op- eration 1t was thought would not be- more than that at the Suez, say $4,- 00O,000. which would leave more than $7,O00. 900, or about two per cent. upon the entire investment of our people.
 No one that has studied the trade statistics of the world but appreciates that as the years succeed each other the tonnages passing through the Panama canal will show large annual increases, and experts believe that by 1920 the net income from the canal will be sufficient to enable the pay ment of instalments upon the original this great enterprise.

was that afforded by the removal of the saloon skylights. which, of course, could only be done in fine weather. The consequence was that the close ness of the atmosphere in the state- rooms was at all times most un- pleasant, while the smell of the bilge- water was so offensive as to create nausea independent of that arising from the motion of the vessel. Tn the winter, on the other hand, the cold was frequently severe. There was, it Is true, a stove in the saloon, but the heat from it scarcely made itself ap- preciably felt in the side cabins. In other matters there was the same absence of provision for the comfort of passengers. The fresh water re- quired for drinking and cooking pur- poses was carried in casks, and when the ship had a full cargo, many of these were placed on, deck, with the result that their contents were some- times impregpated with salt water from the waves shipped in heavy weather. At all times the water was most unpalatable; 1t being muddy and filled with various impurities from the old worm eaten barrels in which it was kept. Not only was the water bad, but the supply occasionally proved inadequate, and when the voy- age was an unusually long one the necessity would arise of placing the passengers upon short allowance. There was always a COW on board, but there was no other milk to be had than what she supplied, no way of preserving it having been discovered. Canned fruit and vegetables were equally unknown. There was com monly a fair provision of mutton and pork, live sheep and pigs being car ried. but of other fresh meat and of fish the stock was generally exhausted by the time the vessel had been a few days at sea, refrigerakors at that period not having been invented.

CHRISTIANITY URGED.
 AT GREAT REVIVAL
Harry Miller, Leader of Wesleyan Cos pei Team, Tells Why It Is Es-
 sential.

one of the most impressive meet ings ever held in New Britain was that at Trinity M. B. church last night, in which men and women were challenged to accept Christianity. The revival was conducted under the aus pices of the Wesleyan Gospel team, of which Harry Miller is the leader. The theory of the members of the team that there should be enthusiasm in religion, as we'll as in business, had good chance to be proved.
 In his sermon. Mr Miller took as his text Acts 26:2S Almost Thou Per- -suadest Me to Be a. Christian, He said in part:
 Christianity is more than a mat ter of belief. The devils believed and trembled, but if they are Christians am going to Borneo and become a heather. Christianity is more than church membership. A Christian is one who follows Christ and his prin- ciples-on the football field and in business.
 You say you cannot believe. Prob ably you are trying to believe too much Don't try to swallow all the dogmas and creeds Take the simple word of the Master.
 "It$is sin that keeps men away ard sin is no mental illusion. It is vivid reality. It changes life into death, joy into sorrow You see it's effect on every side. People, let's have life!'
