OOO.OOO is not understandable. a. - hundred billion Collars Is such a pile or money that the mind simply cannot grasp Its meaning on the Instant. It is more tbsn twice the total amount of the wealth of the United Kinedom. of France, or ot Ormany; and over three times that of Russia or, of Austria-Hungary. Probably the best way of Illustrating; the actual extent of Uncle Sam's riches Is to state fiat if he could convert all his assets Into money he " would have nearly four times as much as wouli be required to pay off the entire national debt of all the fovernmenti in the world, including his own. ute Building Progress in All Quarter 'cvpr,Was So HMpJtl April's -A v- fill Pinaster Is Forgotten In Many Sofia 1 Functions. J V T. A. SIXSHRIMER. SAX FRAXCISCO, Jan. 13. (Special.) with thP turnlntr of the year San Fran- ?lxc has ronnrt itself enjoying com mercial prosperity far in excess or that which It predicted for itself, even before the earthquake. Customs receipts are heavier than ever before, bank clearings Rre much ajreater than a year ago, wages nre hiither and the 'savings banks are Miibarrapspd by the flood ot coin which has poured in upon ..them. The. public service corporations, whose intereFts were apparently shattered by thp disaster, arewlthln eight or renewed flivlrlonds. The United Railroads (the traction company) nnds its receipts for iWti nine-tenths as lara-e as In 1905. The Spring Valley Water Compart-, which en joys a monopoly, at Its annual meeting this week discovered that it could elimi nate one of the proposed assessments. ns lt receipts had climbed to unexpected helots. It should be explained, how- ever, that the abundant rains have filled it It the company's reservoirs and have thus been a big factor in bringing- about existing conditions. Oilier Cities Share Prosperity. The prosperity is by no means confined to Siin Francisco. No place In the state is in a more flonrUhinff condition than Santa Jtosa. the little city of 10,1)00 souls, which, in proportion to its size, suffered most severely from the disaster of last April. Santa Rosa has experienced a buih.ing boom that has been limited only by the supply of labor and building material. The couious rains have made bright the prospects for an abundant harvest from 11 Id n rytl orchard. . FYom every section of the, state the joyful cry has gone forth.

WEALTH Of THE NATION fontlt.uert T-Tom First Ta Future Not Figured In. The estimates oCy all Che visible wealth of cur country do not take into account the probable future returns on our Invest ments, nor the future value of our unde veloped resources. Even the wildest en- thusiast could not tell that. And how many of our business men, how many of our farmers, would sell out for exactly what they have invested in their busi ness?' Not many, you may be sure. It is equally certain that If Uncle Sam could be materialised into a -national personal- Ity lie would decline to sen out ror $107,000,000,000. When one remembers how younK this country Is, and that only 40 years ago it was torn by Internal strife such as would have stopped development for a. century ong any people with less vitality than the Americans, these -staggering totals of millions and billions are all the more .won derful. The South. which suffered so greatly in that struggle, had an estimated wealth In I860 of a little over 8.000.000,000, he most of which was wiped out by the war. It would be hard to conceive of any people suffering a greater reverse, yet look 'at the present wealth of the 11 tates which seceded. They have not only recovered their own. but have doubled and tripled their former wealth, including: even the esti mate of the value of their slaves. Few people know that the state of Texas is now providing- one-fourth of the cotton upply of the world. We paid, more than half a billion dollars to run the machinery of the Federal Gov ernment last year. but when the final balances were struck the taxes collected were over $25,000,000 in excess of the ex penditures. Although our treasury1 is bulging with wealth, if Congress shoulA pass an Inheritance tax law. such as the President favors, the bulk of the great fortunes or our millionaires would even tually revert to the government Control Swollen Fortunes, i I'nder such a law the United States would receive about half a billion dollars from the Rockefeller estate alone. This regulation to control swollen fortunes, by making them revert to the state would give us funds to prosecute such schemes for public improvement as would dwarf the most pretentious creations of all the builders of history. Even as It Is, our national wealth has already soared higher than the imagin ings of the most sanguine of our early optimists. To what extent it will yet go, even "the most astute of living1 men can only conjecture. Iet us look to the fu ture course we shall pursue, lest we be come vain of our riches and Qulclcly" go the way of the Caesars, who felt into decay and disrepute on account of the hoards they gathered about them. Let us hope that we shall always "wish for no victories but those of peace; for no territory except our own; for no sov ereignty except the sovereignty over ourselves. If we can go amassing wealth and still adhere to these admirable principles so recently uttered by our eminent premier. Mr. Klihu Hoot, the Goddess of Liberty will long hold up her beckoning light, and we will continue to be the most favored and envied of all the children of men. FAST ON ORLEANS BEACH Freight Steamer Onondago ot Clyde Line Is In Perilous Plight. CHATHAM. Mass.. Jan. 13.-8traying from the beaten track, the Clyde line freight steamer Onondaga, Captain Bun nell, bound from Boston for Charleston and Jacksonville, struck on Orleans Beach early today and is in a dangerous position. .The chances of saving; the steamer are considered about even. The Onondaea struck the beach nearly head-on. The vessel had wandered two miles oft the course during the night, which, though cloudy, was comparatively clear. Two tugs arrived at the scene late this afternoon, but no attempt was made to float the vessel. It expected that the greater portion ' of her cargo will have to be lightered before the vessel can be floated. At dark tonight the captain shouted ashore that his vessel was still 1 Ik tit and showed no signs of breaking up. The Onondaga is 2153 tons net burden and carries a crew of 2R men. All nut BETTING Will Begin Active Campaign Against the Evil at Albany Today. AFTER PERCY-GRAY LAW Proposes Bookmaklng Shall Be Made Misdemeanor instead or rciony, and PunisliahJe by Fine or Penitentiary Sentence. .NEW YORK, Jan. 13-Dlstrlct Attor ney Jerome has started a campaign to eliminate race betting In this state. Me will ko to '"Albany tomorrow and ask: the Legislature to wipe out certain sec tions of the Percy-Gray law. In. one bill he seeks to deliver a death blow to thst section which says that -the only penalty for bookmaking at the track shall be recovery of the et by a civil suit- In another bill he proposes to amend the penal code so as to make bookmaking at the track or any other place a nVis- demeanor Instead of a felony, the punish ment to be not more than one year in the penitentiary, or a fine or SfiOO. or both. Relating to these two bills, the District Attorney, has drawn a bill to provide for the income for agricultural societies throughout the state to receive the pro- vislon'of the Percy-Gray law. Instead of getting a percentage of the receipts of the racing associations, he says that a certain fixed sum. not desig nated in the bill as drawn up, shall be appropriated out of the state treasury for agricultural purposes. FORCE RMLRdS 'TO PAY STATE WILL FILE SUIT AGAiXST ILLINOIS CENTRAL. Back Taxes Have Been Due for Years and Road Will Not Slake Re- port of ' Earnings. 'SPRIKGFIEI.D. Hi.. Jan. 13. The suit of Illinois against the Illlnoi Central Railroad will be nied In the Supreme Court tomorrow or Tuesday. The court will be asked to order an accounting. The 3tate cannot ascer tain, by reason of the complicated rec ords of the road. Just how much back taxes to claim, but this will be settled during the litigation. The company Is required to pay the state 5 per cent of its charter line's gross receipts, and must supply the State Auditor . with an annual statement of all its prop erty for the purpose of taxation. The taxes and the 6 per cent must equal at least 7 scr cent or the company's grcss receipts. . From 1S59 to ay the petition, the company refused to list with -the Auditor Its stock,, property and assets for the purpose of state taxation, and refused to pay into the treasury an amount equal to at least 7 per cent of the gross receipts or Income derived from the charter lines. Among the other alleged practices of the road, whereby the state loses its share in the proceeds, follows: Giving mileage books to newspapers valuei at il.48S.70O; carrying freight for brmch lines without charging for terminal facilities for branch linen; allowing rebates to shippers; collect ing large sums from foreign roads as rental for rolling stock and failing to credit the same to charter lines. Since 1877 the company has -presented false statements to the Gover nor, says the complaint, and has re fused the Governor permission to ex amine the road's books to ascertain the true condition of its affairs. The bill aaks that the road be compelled to make a full accounting of -its gross proceeds, receipts and income. Jacob Astor could easily out squander this youthful monarch If lie felt so uls losel.

Some ot the time of the Senate and most of the time of the Mouse during- the present week will be devoted to trie discussion of appropriation bills The Senate win conclude its consideration of the legls- lattve. executive and judicial appropria tion bill and may reach the Indian bill. The House will finish Its work on the fortifications bill and will in turn take up tbe bill making; appropriation! for the District Of Columbia and the dlplo- matlc and consular service. Before proceeding with appropriation bills, t.lie House w ill devote Monday to miscellaneous bills in the Interest of the District of Columbia. It Is also pos- sible that the appropriation bill before the Senate will be temporarily dis placed Monday by the Foraker resohi- tlon providing for an investigation or the Brownsville riot. On Horn IVKy K?ei time. Floor. Senator Cullom, who has charge or the appropriation bill, announces his Intention not to yield the floor agraln until bis measure is disposed of. and II lie 'persists in h!S determination, con sideration of the Brownsville matter -will necessarily be deferred. The proiipecW of receiving Aaalatant Attorney General Purdye report on that subject on Monday adds to wllflt already Holds a keen interest, and a large attendance may be expected In the Senate when It is under consider- tlon. Speeches are yet to be made by Senators Spooner, Carmark and Stone, and It Ss not expected . tbat Senator Foraker will permit the closing ot the debate without further remarks. The present prospect la for the prac tically unanimous adoption of a com promise resolution directing an Inves- tlgatlon Into the occurrence at Browns- vllle and remaining silent on the legal phases of the question. In the Senate there will be an effort to Incorporate a provision in tne legis lative appropriation bill Increasing: the salaries of Senators and Representa tives from 95UOO to S750O, and unless tills propoeitton causes debate, the leg islative bin probably will be passed with but little discussion. There will also be an attempt to restore the J-Jouse provision for an Increase of the salaries of the Vice-President, .the Speaker of the Mouse and the members of the Cabinet. Some of the members of the Mouse committee on appropriations win try to secure the incorporation In the for tifications bill of an amendment look Incr to the creation of an Island for tbe 1 purpose pi deleDBfl av the mouth ot Chesapeake Bay, and appropriating for that purpose about $3,000,000 when the bill comes up In the Mouse. Genera! Keefer and Judge Walter Smith differed sharply over this point in committee, and when Mr. Smith, who opposed the provision, prevailed there, the Ohio member announced his determination to appeal to the Mouse. The House Is looking forward with great expectancy to the decision of the committee on merchant marine on the subject of the ship subsidy bill. The committee will meet on Tuesday, and members say that the question will be finally decided on that day. Repre sentative Watson, of Indiana, who has consistently opposed the Senate bill, an nounces his willingness to accept a compromise measure providing for both Atlantic and Pacific mail subsidies to South American ports and for an in crease of the subsidy to the Australian line now in existence, as well as for assistance to a new line from the fa- clflc Coast to China and Japan. It is now asserted by the advocates of com promise that only the opposition of the supporters of the full Senate bill stands in the way or a report. Take Vp Smoot Case 1-Yiday. The Senate probably will return to the discussion of the Smoot case on Friday, when Senators Sutherland and I il linear ham will -speak In opposition to the unseating resolution. later, Mr. Smoot will address the Senate in his own behalf, and the discussion will be closed by Senator Foraker. Senator Fulton will make an effort during; the week to get the Senate to fix a day to consider the revised penal code reported by him last week.

Roosevelt Makes Public a Report of Keep Commission Explaining Method oCAccounting. WASHINGTON. Jan. U-President Roosevelt today made public a report on "coft keeping in the Government serv ice," prepared by the Keep Commission. A cost system of property devised and operated, the report says, will fur nish information requiring the respon sible head of the organization to esti mate more intelligently the probable cost of future operations along similar lines and to fix proper selling: prices on pro ducts transferred to other Government organizations or sold to foreign govern ments or to private individuals. The recommendations have the cordial en dorsement of Secretary Shaw. Cost-keeping- as a branch of account ing is a comparatively modern develop ment, the report says, and has not been introduced to any considerable extent in the Government service. In this mat ter the Government has much to learn from private business methods. In work of this character tbe Institution of a thorough cost-keeping system would make Intelligent comparisons possible and would tend to t r 1 n K the less effectively conducted and most Important to the standard of the best. The report recom mends that cost-keeping systems be In- stalled in all branches of the Government service where it Is possible to do so. The public printer is working out the details of an elaborate cost-keeping sys- tern, which he is about to install In the Government printing office, and a new system will be put in effect at the various Guadaloupe BifcRilica was "held yesterday. The reason was the annual pilgrimage of the arch diocese of Mexico to th sanctuary of the virgin. It is estimated that over 25,000 persons were in attendance. BRINGS BACK MUCH DATA mints.
