Washington. The Canadian reci
procity situation has cleared to a
marked degree and canvaas of the
Senate was In every way assuring to
friend of the measure. With not
more than a doxen set speeches In
prospect and with eight-hour sessions
on the program many of the enators
count on a vote before the end of
July.
The moat form'dable speech still to
be made Is that of Sennlor La Fol
lette. He will preaent hla long-promised
tariff amendment to the recipro
city bill and will talk for three or
four day, dlcuslng the tariff even
more than reciprocity. These amend
ments will be In the nature of a sub- j
tltute for all other tariff auggeton. i
With reciprocity disposed of. It I
believed that the seealon will not be
greatly prolonged. The "standpat"
Republican are d!pod to concede
a vote on the wool and free list bill.
The Hemocratlc entor have said
from the beginning they would be at-li-fted
with a rollrall on the two tariff

the "atandpttt Republican will let
these go lo vote without much debate
In view of the threatened presiden

Merger In Steel Cuts Competition.
Restriction of competition Is de
clored to hove been the prime object
of the orgnnlxera of the United States
Steel Corporation, which, capitalized
nt $1,4KS!,000,000, had tangible prop
erty worth only $682,000,000. The
cornorntlon. having concentrated Its
efforts to secure ore properties, now
owns "5 per cent of the lake ores
upon which the present steel Industry
Is Imced. These are some of the con
elusions reached In the long-expected
report of Commiss'oner of Corpora
tions Herbert Knox Smith on the steel
Industry, pnrt of which was submitted

. Government Has Surplus.
When the government's fiscal year
ended June 30, the federal treasury
held a cash surplus of at least
$13,000,000, and showed an excess of
receipts over disbursements for the
flrat time since 1907.
From estimates which treasury ofll
clnls consider reliable, it is apparent
the government In past 12 months re
ceived from all sources not less than
$GS9,000.000, about $10,000,000 more
thnri expected, nnd spent $ti.'i6,000,000
about $0,000,000 less than planned.
In round figures It cost the govern
ment last year 1175.000,000 for the
civil service, $181,000,000 for the army,
$120,000,000 for the navy, $21,000,000
for the Indians, $158,000,000 for pen
sions nnd $21,000,000 for interest on
the public debt. Expenses for In
dians, pensions and civil service all
have exceeded the first estimates.
More than $37,000,000 waa spent upon
the Panama canal.
Army Reorganization Cuts Red Tape.
General Leonard Wood's plans for
reorganizing the army on a practical
military basis, disregarding congres
sional and local influence, has stirred
IP a ibis commotion In Washington,
iut the reforms which General Wood
has In mind are such that he can put
them through without congressional
authority.
In doing away with staff offices nt
the various department headquarters
General Wood has greatly- lessened
the expense oi running the army, for
he tins paved the way for dismissing
l lnrga corps or unnecessary clerKs,
has 'cut out the duplication of 'work,
and simplified the administrative
work of the service. Department
quartermasters, commissaries and the
Uke have been dispensed with,
