 The estate belonging to the In- perial Household is estimated to reach about 500, 900, 900 yen or $250,00O, ,000. Besides railway and bank securities and various public bonds and deven- lures held by the household which include extensive forests and rich lands in addition to the land of the Imperial palace grounds and the Inn perial detached palaces and villas The value of the Imperial property is reported to be increasing at the rate of twenty per cent. per annum.
 The money disbUrsed from the privy purse is said to reach an enor- nous figure. The most serious de- mands are due to the various court ceremonies and functions of state, the maintenance of intercourse with the Imperial households or rulers of the friendly treaty powers, the reception and entertaining of occasional guests representing foreign courts and gov ernments, stipends, pensions and oth- CT allowances to household ofaclals, donations and gifts to charitable in stitutions and general relle1 work.

GOVERNMENT A LAGGARD.
Not Enthusiastic About Allowing Bud
 get Committee Sittings.

Berlin, Oct. 27, via London 11:4O a. m-The indifferent attitude of the government towards the centerist mo- tion to give the budget committee the right to sit during recess of the Reichstag and discuss the foreign and war policy of the nation is generally resented by the liberal press today. The newspapers deplore the fact that the government is found, as they re- gard 1t, to be already tagging when it comes to the fulfillment of the promise of political reforms.
 In the debate on the subject in the Reichstag yesterday all the parties except the conservatives supported the modified substitute adopted, giv- ing the right to the committee only during the war and only during ad- jOurnments which had not been or dered by empire. It was hoped that sittings of the committee would be- come a permanent institution at the end of the war and would be the first step toward parliamentary govern ment

said to have advised that there be no delay in making public the substance @Of the information.
 Dangerous Situat ton Along Border. Secretary Lansing views the infor- 8rlation, although somewhat indefinite ELS to individuals. as showing a dan gerous situation along the border.
 Publication of the fact that the government has taken steps to check mate such a movement, he believes, goes far toward preventing an attack either upon a border town or upon Gen. Pershing's forces.
 Secretary Baker indicated that no immediate movement of Gen. Persh- sirg's columns were contemplated. He refused to say, however, whether or 6ers had been given out to meet an attack. He gave the impression that Generals Funston and Pershing might have been directed to take certain steps of a retaliatory nature, should Gh attack be made upon their forces, or that the department had such or ders under consideration.
 'I have nothing to say on that sub- iect," was his only response to every question in regard to orders sent to tic border.
 Later MT. Lansing authorized the following statem ent:
 4"It was quite correctly reported last night in the statement that Secretary Takers announcement was inspired by absolutely no political considera- tions as to this country. Nor does 1t mean to infer that Americans of any sort are involved in the plot. ! here are many Mexican refugees in this country who are inimical to the presidents Mexican policy who would Goubtlass consider the present time Ds ripe for the furtherance of their Irojects. The silver which is known to have gone from this country to Mexican bandits was not necessarily from Americans. Indeed, l cannot , conceive that there is any American citizen who is so heartless,< so entire Iy cruel, so wanton as to take a po- Ittical atep that would involve Amer Iran lives.
 "The warning was given simply to protect American lives and property 4 and I have every hope it will be eff fective.''
