Question About Paying Out the Price ol the Panama Canal. Chicago, Nov. 18. Encouraged by the successful oporution of n regular service on the Wcntworth avenuu lino today, the managecnt of tho Chicago City railway announced tonight that an cnori wouut ta mauo mado tomorrow to resume traffic on tho Cottage Grove avenue cable line. Tho intention is to start train early in tho morning, and unless too much opposition i met with the service wili.be gradually extended later in tho day. FIvo hundred policemen will be added tomorrow to tho number already detuned to guard the property of the company. This additional force will be assigned to tho Cottaca Grave nvn. uo line, and the cars will be run uudor tho same protection as thoee on Went worth avonuo. Screens have been provided for tho grip cars to shield tho gripmen, and tho trains will bo run at a high rate of speed in an effort to pre vent crowds irom blocking the tracks. Although considerable interference marked the operation of tho Went worth avenue branch today, still a flvc roinute service was maintained through out the day, and an attempt will bo tuado tomorrow to install a cloeer schedule Riots were frequent all alone the line, but the noli rhsrmvl on tho crowds with such quickness and iorco mat but ono serious blockade was met with. When tho last of the 25 cars that had been in tho service reach ed the barn at 4:30 o'clock tonight, it was decided to suspend further traffic until tomorrow morning. The inquiry of the state board of ar bitration asking that the difficulty bo settled by arbitration, it was announced tonight, would be replied to tomorrow by S. R. Bliss, counsel for the company. The communication, it is said, will agree to arbitration of tho wage ques tion only, and will entirely ignore the demands of the men that tho recog nition of the union also bo submitted to the board. As the latter clause in the demands of the men has been the stumbling block all along to a peace- me settlement oi the trouble, it is said there is little chance, for the present at least, of a conciliatory adjustment of tho controversy. Reports to the effect that tlntnn m.r. were going over to tho company and deserting tho organization are declaied by both President M. C. Buckley and Secretary L. D. Bland, of the union, to be falsehoods. Washington, Nov. 10.' With tho ad ministration definitely committed to the building of u rami I by tho Panama route, and having brushed naldo alt im mediate consideration of Colembla as u fnntnr in that iinriiosK. tho lintuirtntit question now coulrouting the provident, the cabinet uml the Republican leader in congress are whether they can pro ceed with tho work under tho Spoouor amendment, adopted at tho last session, or whether it will be necessary to enact now legislation throughout. Senator Spooner was at tho White House tnduv. hut would not mv wlmtli. er tho question was discussed. The most important nucsttnn for the treasury Is tho cx)cndlturo of $50,000, 000 in cash that is authorized under tho canal amendment. Can this amount bo rtaid without untiotttiiii flnnnolnl conditions to soma extent is u question IxilllL' umIihI. Tim tntnl nvnllnlilii mull balance of tho treasury department a few ilavs aco wo 1223.14t.3UD. but of this vast sum $ 1 73,328,4(14 was in na tional bank depositories throughout the country. That makes a total of about 150,000,000 in tho treasury proer. mo amount will probably change In favor of a larger cash balance by tho time this country liIh to tlm luttnt of uoing business and making canal pay ments, but it will not bo above $00, 000.000 at tho outside unless the tniim. action I loni? dnlnvml. Traditions dcclaro that there should always bo in tho treasury department proper $50,000,000 with which to meet possible rmorwncles. It is nilmlttivl. . o " -------"--, however, that tho amount could safely bo reduced to 140,000,000 or less. Of tho amount with national bank de positories and carried im a llalillllv tn tho treasury, there is a largo sum to tho credit of disbursing officer. Tills could bo reduced ami tho treasury could probably Mso for tho canal pay ments 130,000,000 out of the funds now in hand. But thin would leave $20,000,000 to como from the deposits with tho national lunik.
