One of the most interesting pro
ductions that will be at the Oregon
theater this season Is "In Wyoming."
It is the product of the versatile Wil
lard Mack's pen. Mr. Mack was
happy In the selection of his locality
upon which to build a story and it
conta:ns all the elements that go to
make a success. No s ction of Amer
ica holds a stronger fascination for
the tourist than does the great west,
with its great wide plains and inter
esting characters. Mr. Mack has
laid his story in Wyoming, the fa
mous "cattle-country." wnere many
stories could be told of fortunes
made' and lost He has cleverely
converted actual occurences ana
sren-8 to stage, uses, and how well
he did his work will be demonstrated
when "In Wyoming" will be present-

this lallrond loan represented a orac
tioal and real application of the open
ilixit- policy through cooperation with
reforms referred to above, tho admin
istration deemed American participa
tion to be of great natural Interest.
"After months of negotiations tho
equal participation of Americans
seems nt last assured. It Is gratify
ing that Americana will thus take
their share In' tho extension of these
great highways of trado and to bo-llt-w
that such activity will give a
real impetus to our commerce and
will prove a practical corrollary to
our historic policy in tho Far East.
No Monopoly in Manchuria.
"In one of the Chinese-Japanese
conventions of September 4 of this
year there was a provision which
cause 1 con.slilerablo public apprehen
sion in that upon Its fact It was be
lieved In some quarters to seek to es
tablish a monopoly of mining privil
eges along the south Manchurlan and
Antung-Mukden railroads and thus
to exclude Americans from a wide
field of enterprise, to tako part In
which they were by treaty with China,
entitled. After a thorough examina
tion of tlu conventions and 'of the
s.-veral contextual documents, the sec
retary of state reached the conclusidn
that "o such monopoly was Intended
or accomplished. However, In view
of the widespread resolution of this
question to confirm the view It had
reached, the government made Inquiry
of tho imperial Chinese and Japanese
governments and received from each
assurance that the provision hud no
purpose inconsistent with the policy
of equality of opportunity to which
the signatories In common with the
United States ure pledged.
"Our traditional relations with the
Japanese empire continue cordial as
uvuul. The arrangement for a coop
erative control of the Immigration of
laborers to the United States has
proved to work satisfactorily. The
matter of a treaty between the Uni
ted States and Japan which Is ter
minable In 1912 Is already, being
studied by both countries.
Deficit In Treasury.
"The report of the secretary of the
treasury shows that the ordinary ex
penditures for the current year end
ing June 30. 1910, will exceed the os
t. mated receipts by JIM. 075, 620. If
to this deficit is added the sum to be
disbursed at the Panama canal zone,
amounting to $38,000,000, and $1.
000,000 to be paid on the public debt,
the deficit of ordinary receipts 'and
expenditures will be increased to a
total deficit of $73,075,820. This de
ficit, the secretary proposes to meet
by the proceeds of bonds issued to
pay the cost of constructing the Pan
ama canal. I approve this proposal.
"The actual cost to date of the ca
nal, which is now half done and
which will be completed January 1,
l!HTi. shows that the cost of engineer
ing and construction will be $2!7.
TWii.ooo Insteail of $139,705,200 as or
' ig.nally estimated. The Increase is
due to a substantial enlargement of
the plan of construction by widening
, the canal 100 feet In the Culebra cut
and by increasing the dimensions of
the locks to the under estimate of the
quantity of the work to be done under
the original plan, and to an under
estimate of the cost of labor and ma-
terials, both of which have greatly
enhanced in price since the original
, estimate was made.
I "In order to avoid a deficit for the
i ensuing fiscal year I directed the
heads of departments In the prepara
j tion of their estimates to mak"" .hem
! as low as possible consistent with Im
1 peratlve governmental necessity.
I "in the present estimates the needs
' of the departments und of the gov
i ei nment have been cut to the quick,
' so to speak, and any assumption on
the part of the congress, so of ten
made In times past, that the estimate
have been prepared with the expec
tation that they may be reduced, will
result in seriously hampering proper
administration.
Kcganllng OI( Asw Pensions.
"Most of the great Industrial organ
izations and many of the well con
ducted railways of this country are
coming to the conclusion that a sys
tem of pensions for old employes, and
the substitution therefor younger and
more energetic servants, promotes
both economy and efficiency of ad
ministration. "I am aware that there is a strong
feeling in both houses of congress and
possibly In the country against the es
tablishment of civil pensions and that
this has naturally grown out of tbe
heavy burden of military pensions,
which It has always been the policy of
our government to assume; bu I am
strongly convinced that no other prac
tical solution of the difficulty pre
sented by the superannuation of civil
servants can be found than that of a
system of civil pensions.
Tho Sugar Frauds.

discovery of extensive frauds In the
collection of the customs revenue at
New York City, In which a number

ut tho subordinate employes In the
weighing department were directly
concerned, and In which the beneflot
urles were tho American Sugar Re
flnlg company and others.
"Tho frauds consisted In the pay
ments of duty on underweights of
sugar. Tho government has recov
ered from tho American Sugar Re
fining company all that It Is shown ts
havo been defrauded of. Tho sum was
recovered by civil suit against the
beneficiary of the fraud, but there was
an express reservation In tho contract
of settlement by which the settlement
should not Interfere with or prevent
tho criminal prosecution of every one
who was found to bu' subject to the
same.
"Criminal prosecutions aro now pro

tice are exerting every effort to dis
cover all the wrongdoers, Including;

otherwise prove an embarrassment tat
securing conviction of the guilty par
ties. No Fear of Tariff Wnr.
"Two features of the new tariff act
cull for special reference. Py virtue
of the clause known ns the 'maximum
and minimum' clause. It Is the duty
ol tho executive to consider tho laws
and practices of other countries with
reference to the Importation lata
those countries of the products and
merchandise of the United States and
IT the executive finds such laws and
prnctlces not to he unduly discrimina
tory against the United States, tie
minimum duties provided in the bill
are to go Into force. Unless the
president makes such a finding, then
tlii- maximum duties provided In the
bill, that Is. an Increase of 25 per cent
ad valorem over the minimum du
ties, are to be in force. Fenr litis beesi
expressed that this power conferred
and duty Imposed on the executive,
ts likely to lead to a tariff wnr. I
beg to express the hope nnd belief that
no such results need be anticipated.
"The new tariff law enables me to
appoint a tariff hoard to assist mo In
connection with the department ef
state. In the administration of the
minimum and maximum clause of the
act and also to assist officers of tho
government In the administration of
the entire law. An examination of
the law and an understanding of the
nature of the fact" which should be
considered In discharging the func
tions imposed upon the executive show
I have power to direct the tariff
board to make a comparative glossary
and encyclopedia of the terms ud
and articles embraced In the tariff
and secure information as to the cost
of production of such goods In this
country and the cost of their produc
tion In foreign countries. I have there
fore, appointed a tariff hoard con
sisting of three members and have di
rected them to perform all the duties
above described.
I,cliictloii n IlMintatoH.
"In the Interest of economy and be
cause of the prospect of a def'I'lt I
have required a reduction in the es
timates of the war department fer
the coming flscnl year, which hrmgn
the total estimates down to an nmount
forty five millions h-ss than the cor
responding estimates for last year.
This could only be accomplished by
cutting off projects and suspending
for the period of one year all pro
gress in military matters. For the
sanie reason, I have ilireeifd that the
army shall not be rec ruited up to Us
present authorized strength. These
measures can hurdlv be more than
temporary to last until tmr revenues
arc in better condition and until the
V. hole question of the expediency of
adopting a definite military policy can
he submitted to congress, for I am
sure that the Interests of the military
st.-itilistiments are seriously In need
of careful consideration by congress.
"The military and naval Joint board
have unanimously agreed that It would
be unwise to make the large expendi
