The United States Treasury Deficit Report
The Treasury reports a deficit of over forty one million dollars for the fiscal year, with revenue declining and spending rising. Without Panama Canal interest and other charges, the gap would be smaller, but the trend suggests higher duties, borrowing, or an income tax may come. A Texas editor who published the Ten Commandments reportedly lost half his subscribers seeking clarification that no personal dig was intended.

Will Set Aside Contract and Break Pacific Monopoly
A Washington dispatch reports the Panama Railroad and Pacific Mail contract will be abrogated by the U S Government within weeks, ending Harriman's Southern Pacific monopoly on transcontinental freight. Independent steamers may enter Panama to New York and San Francisco trade, with rate reductions expected. The contract enabled Pacific Mail to deliver goods across the isthmus, keeping rates aligned with New York–San Francisco rail fares.
