Vera Cruz. May with the occu-
patton of Vera Cruz yesterday by
American soldiers under Brigadier
General Funston an accomplished
fact and tho return to their vessels
in the harbor of the sailors and ma
rines who took the port from the Mex
leans, questions of the future are to-
day beginning to engage the attention
OF American refugees and Mexican
businessmen. The future policy of the
Washington Administration is being
debated with much interest.
Americans and Mexicans alike lack
anything in the nature of a definite
statement on this subject and they are
all trying in interpret, from the trend
of events, since the seizure, whether
the American occupation of Vera Cruz
is to be permanent or not. II once
convinced that the American flag is TO
float over this city until Tranquility is
restored throughout the republic, it is
virtually certain that the Mexicans of
Vera Cruz will give their heartiest
support to the American civil govern
ment. To-day they admit frankly that
they are enjoying greater freedom

Washington, d. c., May 1.--Gravity
of the situation at Tampico growing
out of the fast accumulation of oil
from the flowing wells in the inter-

to the town itself, vast financial loss

with neutral commerce by the Con-
stitutionalists as exhibited in the firing
upon the Ward Line steamep Antilla ut

named to try the more serious cases.

Twenty eighth Infantry; Captain Con-
stant Cordier, of the Fourth Infantry.
and Captain Erickson, of the Nine
teenth Infantry.

Customs Collector Ascarraga some
10000 pesos belonging to the govern
ment, which, with $4,000 pesos in

smuggle the gold from the country.
Lieutenant Anto Foster, of the navy,
has been relieved as chief of police, He
was succeeded by Major Edward Siger-

Carnegie Was Marked
For Assassin's Bullet
Special TO The Telegraph:

New York, May Michael p. Ma

Andrew Carnegie and two other prom
inent men, according to the testimony
of DR.. Manus S. Gregory. of the Psy-

New York. May 1.--As May first is
the date that most of the contracts

than to-day. Hugh Prayne, general

Federation of Labor, and Timothy

Special 10 The TsIeeroek

Washington, d. c., May 1.-Con-
siderable interest has been aroused
over the latest utterance of ]. Hamp-
ton Moore before Congress on his pet
project for damming the Sussuehanna.
Mr. Moore went straight TO the attack
in his speech and showed that the
nation is certainly discriminating
against the broad river of Central
Pennsylvania. In this connection he
said:
There are some great rivers in the
United States that are not treated by
the federal government with the same
consideration that IS accorded to 9TH
er rivers. and the Susquehanna is one
of them. 1 do not know of any other
river in the country so capable of pub
lie service that has been so signally
overlooked. 1t runs through section
OF the country where the people gen.
orally have been prosperous and busy,
and 1t is because of that condition,
possibly, that the immediate inhabi-
tants of the valley have come to look
upon the Susquehanna more as a
beautiful creation of nature than as q
or of developing commercial and in
dustrial possibilities.
The Picturesque Susquehanna
The Susquehanna river is pictures
Que and historically interesting, but
in addition, it has record for SER
Nceabflity equal TO the best of our
American rivers. Men are still living
who recall the tales of the frontiers
men and the lumberjacks who OPP
Grated along its banks. Like The Up
per Delaware or the Upper Mississippi.
the Susquehanna was the highway of
the raftsmen who brought their tim
Der TO market, and it is still used for
logging purposes. 1t was also tEseaave-d
nue for commerce passing back and
forth in the 'arks' or river boats which
thriyed upon il in the earlier part of
the last ce .tury.
Up and Down the River
1T is to-day the scene of much
boating, conducted for business or
pleasure, but the canal boats which
formerly operated along its banks and
carried coal and other commodities TO
Baltimore and points south have dis
appeared through the competition, if
not with the assistance of the rail-
roads. The construction of various
railroad bridges without draws and
the completion of a great dam for
generating water power at AIcCalls
Ferry have practically closed. the river
to navigation above the MARYLAND
line. Thus the people of Pennsylva-
MIA and New York have quietly been

But tell me why although there are

Chinese idol worship and African insects
there is nevertheless no single lecture
upon either OF the two most vitality init
mate activities OF mankind, business and
home management?
Practically al of us have homes OF one
kind or another. and practically all OF us
must apply ourselves In buslnesslike
way 10 something. HoiLe and business
are almost our al engaging spheres Of
activity But It Is presumed that We VISA
to know nothing OF them.
The riddle is beyond my comprehension
II cannot be because We are go wonder
fully efficient AT either home making or
business management that would be an
ironlcal assumption, 1t cannot be that
nothing new Is available to tell that
would actually become a satrcal sug-
gestion. for both business and the home

Annals OF the Treasury.

Secretary MCADoos annual report

may be some objection to the compla-
cency with which Mr.. McADoo custom.
arily regards his conduct of affairs, but
the adequacy of the attention which he
directs to the present Treasury man
agement spares the necessity Of EN-.
broidering the official record of his
acts even II public gratitude could elab-
crate it.
Undue modesty characterizes the re-
port only in respect to the Urea sury's
recent employment Of public funds "a

reticence about this matter marks one
Of the very few striking omissions in
the chronicle which he has just sub
mitted to Congress.
Another which may be mentioned ap-
pears only in compa rison with his re-
port Of year ago. Some significance
undoubtedly attaches to the fact that
emergency currency issues are no longer
extolled as kind of wonder working
magic.
Captious citizens may. however. he

'It the emergency revenue &C, had no,
been passed the surplus in the Treasury
might have disappeared altogether. AS
long as the expenditures OF the Govern
ment exceed its income there is always
danger To maintain such a condition II
both unsound and imprudent"
As an alternative TO the excess Of
expenditures there is always the pos
sibility OF retrenchment. The prac-
tice OF private economy has been pain
fully enforced on large portion of the
people. and some persons are likely 10
suggest that increased taxes are not
the only method of ayerting the danger
