Washington.-Two messages to
congress by the President have
ere e d more
messages than the usual eX-
Cause Stir citement attend
ant upon such
things as the new session has set
tied down to its annual considera-
tion of public affairs. In each Of
these were Presidential declaTa-
tions that are beginning to rever-
berate and that means they are
highly controversial.
In Mr.. RooseVelt's annual mes
sage ION the state of the union"
he took occasion to tell congress
how much he appreciated its ''co-
operation" with him. He followed
that bit of back patting with prob
made since entering the White
House four years ago for the first
term. He called upon the Supreme
Court of the United States, in a
roundabout way to cooperate"
with the other two branches of the
government, the legislative and eX-
ecutive.
The other wave of excitement. not
to say disturbance, was caused by
the Presidents special message
asking congress for wholesale re-
organization of the executive de
partments and Notwithstanding
this proposal plan for moderniz-
ing the government.
One can circulate through the cor
ridors and offices of the Capitol
and office buildings and hear NUT
terings aplenty and even consid-
cradle bit of outspoken criticism
by senators and representatives of
the two circumstances / have men
toned. There are many members
of the legislative branch who are
entertaining feeling that the de
mand for Supreme court co-Opera-
ton was equivalent to carrying the
ball out of bounds. But that part
of the Presidential pronouncement
is not likely, in the end to produce
the battle on the floor of the senate
or house that will result from some
phases of his ''moderniZing" pro
gram.
The fact is that our national gov
eminent has become a structure,
insofar as the executive agencies
are concerned, that sprawls out like
an octopus. About rs per cent Of
these units and agencies are prod
ucts of the New Deal recovery
program; they work at cross pur-
poses; they move in their own
sphere and make their own poll
cies with almost no direction from
the White House. Certainly, the
time is ripe to clean up that mess.
Yet, in cleaning up these condi-
tions, in reorganizing, it is undoubt- |
edly the consensus of those charged |
with responsibility for the job that |
common sense must be used and |
discretion employed or else untold
damage will be done to the govern
ment and to the whole economic
structure of the nation, including the
taxpayers.

 SENDS IN ORDER
 FOR SQUAW CANDY

Five dollars worth of 'squaw can- dy' was being packed recently in Anchorage for shipment to the ex- elusive Lotos Club in New York City after Robert H. Davis, columnist for the New York Sun, sent his personal check with an order for the smoked salmon.
 MT. Davis, who took samples of Alaska's squaw candy back to the metropolis from Anchorage, said it scored a big hit and there was a demand for more.
 T went to the Lotus Club last night to get report on the squaw candy" MT Davis wrote Tt made a tremendous hit and lifted the bar receipts 20 per cent. Some of the members developed thirsts that are getting better and better. There lis a strong inclination to duplicate this delicacy during the winter Would you be so kind as to ask the butcher who supplied the deli cacy to send along five dollar box?"

MACHINERY SALES
CONTINUE T0DROP
Industrial Uncertainty and
Seasonal Factors Cause
Trade SIaCkeninq.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 30.-Except In
one or two sections OF the country
machinery sales continue their down
trend, reports American Machinist.
Industrial buying Is naturally dis
turbed by industrial uncertainty. In
addition, the high volume Of ma
chinery shipments during the past
year have filled the most urgent needs
OF many plants so it is not strange
that a slackening Of sales should be
felt in a season that in normal" years
has seen the low point in activity.
However, inquiries from concerns not
previously active in placing orders
indicate that the basic demand for
manufacturing equipment is still a
long way from being satisfied.
New England reports slow month
of June with expected orders unex-
pectedly withheld. On the other hand
inquiries continue In good volume
which makes the outlook for future
sales optimistic.
The New York territory is a bright
spot, with sales for June maintaining
the May level and activity continuing
strong. While of from the years
peak, machinery sales in Philadelphia
hold a satisfactory volume but in
quiries are scarcer. Confidence is
expressed for the Fall months despite
the tendency to hold up buying be-
cause of labor uncertainty.
Pittsburgh has felt a decided re-
cession in both orders and inquiries.
A few Cincinnati manufacturers en-
joyed better machine tool sales in
June but here, too, the trend points
slightly downward. Some delay has
been experienced because of the slow
delivery OF materials. There are
indications. however. that some large
orders may break in July. Business
in Cleveland is getting pretty thin.
Detroit volume has been maintained
because Of buying on the part Of
three or four companies Inquiries
are not coming in as freely as they
were and the prospects are that a
number of plants will close during
July for changeover period. Supply
business is quiet and will likely re-
main so until September.
Some slowing down is felt in Chi
cago, but there has been an increase
In inquiries. If two or three large
deals materialize volume will be sub
stantially increased. The fact that
orders are being received from steel
companies still in the throes of labor
difficulties is an encouraging indi-
cation. Small tool business has held
up very we'll.
May and the first half Of June we're
good in Milwaukee, but the last two
weeks witnessed falling OF. Both
inquiries and orders have kept at a
good level in Indianapolis. Inquiries
from the Indianapolis Engine plant
OF international Harvester are de-
manding lot Of attention.
In ST Louis, however. orders are
decidedly of and inquiry is slower.
The Pacific Coast has also experienced
something Of slump In machine
tool buying.

CARRIER PROFITS
EXPECTED TO GAIN
Heavy Fall Traffic Likely to
Offset Increase in Oper.
ating Costs.
Special Dispatch to The Star,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 30.-Railroad
earnings are expected TO continue
their wide gains in the last half Of
1897, states a recent Brookmire Bull
letin. The main cause for a gain in
earnings now apparent for the first
half of 1887 has been increased traf-
flc, and prospective traffic for the
Fall-seasonably the period in which
railroads made the larger part Of
their net incomes expected to be
well above that of 1886 in spite Of
temporarily unfavorable clements
such as strikes, higher expenses and
wage increases.
Although negotiations are under
way for increasing rail wages, neither
amounts nor effective dates have been
determined, points out the Bulletin,
which finds that any cost increases
should be more than offset by the
prospective increase in traffic, due
particularly to the outlook for con-
siderably larger farm crops. A prob
able reduction in pension costs and
possibilities for further rate increases
being granted to the railroads further
orightens the Fall outlook.
Balancing all factors, concludes
Brookmire, the prospect remains for
a considerable gain in railroad earn
ings for the fiscal year of 1887, which
IN turn should prove favorable to not
only the railroad companies but to
business as a whole.

New York Banks
Report Few Small
Deals in Francs
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. June 3O.-A few small
transactions in the French franc we're
reported by New York banks today, de-
spite the fact Paris and London mar
kets have suspended trading in the
currency.
The rate quoted was around 40
cents, a discount of 0.33 of a cent from
yesterdays nominal closing rate of 4.43
cents. The dealings were described as
strictly commercial, the francs being
supplied by the official control.
The French financial crisis tended to
depress both Swiss and Belgian cur
rencies. Swiss francs were sold at
22.83R cents, of 007 of a cent, and
Belgian belgas at 1884 cents, O.04 of a
cent down. Both units have been
more or less allied with the French
currency since its devaluation last
