GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS.
Director Walcott Makes His Annual
Report.
Director Walcott, of the geological
survey, has made his annual report.
Relative to topography he says that
there have been twenty-three parties
in the field during the past year in ad¬
dition to the regular parties. Their
reports have been made showing that
coal areas extend from far up in Penn¬
sylvania through the mountainous re¬
gion of the entire Appalachian basin.
In East Tennessee and North Carolina
the coal survey hag been about com¬
pleted. Work has been commenced
but not completed in Northern Georgia.
A careful examination has been
made of the bornite deposits of Geor¬
gia and Alabama. An examination of
supposed phosphate lands in South¬
eastern Tennessee and Northern Geor¬
gia and Alabama, definitely proved the
absence of phosphate.
An examination of the gold areas in
the south has been made, mainly in
Georgia and the Carolinas. The report
says:
“The auriferous deposits of this re¬
gion are divided into throe groups,
one in Georgia trending in a norther¬
ly direction through Dahlonega, in
that state. There are important ex¬
pansions in Alabama and North Caro¬
lina trending in the same direction
through Charlotte, N. 0., reaching
into South Carolina and nearly to the
Virginia line.”
Surveys made by private parties, but
under the direction of the bureau have
been about completed of the iron
fields of the Michigan district, cover¬
ing about 1,200 square miles. The
soils of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin have been examined, also
water supply and natural gas pos¬
sibilities ascertained.

WASHINGTON NOTES
ITEMS OF NEWS PICKED UP AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Sayings and Doings of the Official
Heads of the Government.
Advices from Madrid state that Han
nis Taylor, American minister, has
presented to the minister of foreign
affairs a demand from the United
States government for an apology and
reparation from the government of
Spain on account of the Allianca affair.
Mr. Taylor’s action was based on a
dispatch from Secretary Gresham.
Marquis Imperial!, first secre iary of
the Italian legation, called at the state
department Wednesday morning and
directed the attention of the officials
to the news from Walsenbnrg, Col., of
the assassination of four Italians. He
asked that the good offices of the state
department be used immediately to
prevent the further killing of his
countrymen.
Secretary Herbert has issued an naval or¬
der for the release from the
academy of a Japanese cadet named
Takasaki, who desires to engage in
the war with China and incidentally
get the benefit of the rapid promotion
now taking place in the Japanese
navy. If Takasaki returns to the
United States within a reasonable time
he will probably be allowed to resume
his present status at the academy and
continue his studies there.
The Spanish minister at Washing¬
ton, Seuor Muruaga, had received no
reply up to Thursday noon from the
captain general of Cuba regarding the
firing upon the American steamer Al¬
lianca by a Spanish gunboat on the 8th
instant. Senor Muruaga is satisfied
that the moment the captain of the
gunboat makes his report to the cap
tain general it will be in turn for¬
warded to the minister. When this
report is received it will be at once
laid before Secretary Gresham in or¬
der that he may be made acquainted
with the Spanish side of the case,
which will then be carefully investi¬
gated.
The postoffice department has in¬
structed the postmaster at Mobile,
Ala., to make up and dispatch, on the
1st proximo, mails addressed to Cen¬
tral American postoffices of Belize,
Bluefields and Bocas del Toro, to be
dispatched by vessels sailing from Mo¬
bile to the places named, and to con¬
tain only articles addressed for deliv¬
ery at those places. The dispatches
from Mobile will be in addition to
those frern New Orleans, La., for the
same places which will continue as at
present. The reason for adding Mo¬
bile is because most of the vessels now
use Mobile as a home port instead of
New Orleans.
The Income Tax Case.
The arguments as to the constitu¬
tionality of the inoome tax are con¬
tinuing. It will be some time, even
after they cease, before a decision is
rendered. If the court decides
against the tax an extra session will be
inevitable. At the treasury the clerks
are doing some mighty figuring on the
possibility of it being declared uncon¬
stitutional. They say that if this tax
cannot be collected, receipts will fall
behind expenditures $20,000,000 and
$30,000,000. Without that tax there
would not be enough revenue to run
the government through the fiscal
year. Nothing could be done in that
event but to call congress together in
extraordinary session. There is a
great deal of debate as to what the
decision of the court will be. The
best opinion is, however, that there
will not be two votes on the supreme
bench cast against the legality of this
tax.
The Coal Costs Too Much.
After many years of dissatisfaction
over the prices for coal exacted by
the Panama Railroad company from
the United States war vessels, the
navy department has declined to have
further dealings with that concern,
and will secure coal supplies from an¬
other source. Heretofore naval ves¬
sels at Colon were obliged to get their
coal from the railroad company at $11
per ton. The navy department pro¬
tested that this rate was exorbitant,
and contended that the fact that the
United States government kept vessels
at Colon to protect the company’s
property was additional reason why
the price should be reduced. The
company refused to lower the rate and
Secretary Herbert has directed that
hereafter United States naval vessels
that would otherwise coal at Colon
shall go to Cartagena for the purpose.
Cartagena is only a day’s run from
Colon, and the department has made
arrangements to obtain coal there at
$0.50 per ton.
r Gain of tlve Gold Reserve-Receipts
and Expenditures.
The treasury condition for a third
of Maroh shows that the receipts ag¬
gregated $9,325,000 and the expendi¬
tures $11,354,000, or an excess of the
expenditures ... the receipts - , of .
over
$2,029,000. An element of uncer
tainty not heretofore entering into
treasury calculations has now to be eon
sidered. It is the large sums of money
appropriated by congress m the den-
items were made immediately availa¬
ble, and the payment Monday of $615,
000 on the “civil and miscellaneous”
accounts shows that some of them have
begun to reach the cashier’s desk, The
customs receipts show a continued and
sustained improvement, being for the
fiscal year up to date $105,877,000, or
nearly a million more than for the same
time last year.
Internal revenue receipts are$5,000,
000 in excess of this time last year, but
improvement in both sources of re
ceipts must be shown for the last third
of the fiscal year or government reve
nues for the entire fiscal year will fall
considerably below the estimates.
Gresham is Aroused.
The atmosphere around Washington
has been filled with all sorts of rumors
of foreign complications. Secretary
Gresham has on his war paint. He is
indignant with Baron Fava, Italy’s
representative, for the latter’s unpre
cedented letter to the governor of Col
orado instead of treating with hint
through the state department. He
does not pretend to conceal the dis
-rust ho feels toward Muruaga, the
Spanish embassador, for daring to
critioise the administration of foreign
affairs with respect to the firing
on the merchant liner Allianca. His
chief annoyance, however, comes from
Fava’s undiplomatic performance and
the Spanish minister’s impertinent
criticisms. Great interest is man- 1
ifested in the matter in official cir- !
cles and the war fever inspired by
Gresham’s peremptory demand up
on Spain for an apology ap
pears to be spreading. There is an
impression in some circles that the j
Spanish government will make its re
ply by merely handing Minister Tay- j
lor his passport and severing all dip
lomatic relations with the United
States. This would place the coun¬
tries in the position now assumed by
Venezuela toward Great Britain,
France and Denmark. There is a feei
_ here that ,, , Gresham will
mg carry war
into the enemy s camp and hand the
Spanish minister his passports, and
may also , insist . . upon the , recall ,, of „
aron .. ava by Italy.
Ihe president, m looking for an op
portumty to popularize this adminis
tration, may seize the opportunity to
wage an aggressive foreign policy. He
will be urged to do so anyhow by the j
secretary of state. In the possible
event of its becoming necessary the
United States government is better
prepared at the present time than |
ever
efore to enforce compliance of its
u timatum to the Spanish government
as a result of the Allianca incident.
THE UNPROPITIOUS WEATHER
Has a Bad Effect Upon Business in the
South and West.
Bradstreet’s review of business for
the past week says: “There are fewer
new and favorable features this week
than unfavorable ones, but in most in
stances they outweigh the latter, which
point to the continuance of a small
volume of business and quiet demand.
Unfavorable weather, which has served
to check demand so many weekR,contin¬
ues to make itself felt south and in many
parts of the west. The coal miners’
stick and labor difficulties at New Or¬
leans have served to cut into business
at points dependent upon those cen¬
ters of disturbance. Not the least un¬
favorable influence in staple lines has
been that of bad roads, the effect of
which is plain from Noxa Scotia to
Texas.
“In addition to increased competi¬
tion here by Australian wools, de¬
mand for the raw staple has fallen off,
and word is recoived that American
dress goods manufacturers are using
considerable Australian mixed with
the American staple. The dry goods
trade continues depressed, production
being iu excess of demand, cotton
goods being moved generally only at
concessions.
“In the south Atlanta, New Orleans
and Galveston alone report evidences
of gain, modified at the first point by
rain and at the second by labor riots.
The phosphate market is more active
at Charleston, that for drugs at Chat¬
tanooga and for naval stores at Savan¬
nah. In other respects southern trade
is quiet, and, in instances, unsatisfac¬
tory.”
BOOTMAKERS LOCKED OUT.
Two Hundred Thousand Operatives
Stop Work in England.
A London cable dispatch states that
the great lockout of bootmakers, af¬
fecting 200,000 operatives, commenced
Saturday. Owing to a complicated
dispute concerning the use of improv¬
ed machinery and other matters, the
members of the National Federation
of Bootmakers on March 8th, notified
the operatives to stop work on that
j day. The lockout, it is expected, will
■ eventually affect about 400,000 opera
tives.

DR - broadus dead.
THE GREAT BAPTIST DIVIN E
PASSES FROM EARTH.
Famous the World Over as an Orator
and Scholar.
Rev. John Albert Broadus, D. I).,
LL. D., president of the Southern
Baptist Theological seminary, died at
his home in Louisville, Ky., early Sat
urday morning,
The death of Dr. Broadus removes
one of the most noted divines of his
day. He was well known both in this
country and Europe as a scholar and
orator and has several time lectured
before Yale and Johns Hopkins uni
versities, and was considered one of
the best Greek scholars in the world,
There is no man in the United States
whose death could have caused more
widespread sorrow,
Dr. Broadus is of Welsh ancestry,
and was born in Culpepper county,
Virginia. January 27, 1824. He
graduated from the University of Vir
ginia with honors. As a scholar,
thinker and author, he was known the
country over. His best known work
was “Preparation and Delivery of
Sermons.” This work is used as a
text book in theological seminaries of
all denominations in Europe and
America. In 1859, with the late Bev.
James H. Boyce, Dr. Broadus founded
the Baptist theological seminary at
Greenville, S. C., which, in 1871, was
removed to Louisville, the Baptists of
that city having guaranteed $300,000
tor that purpose. During the war,
Dr. Broadus was a missionary chap
lain In Lee’s army.
TOM WATSON AGAIN.

a committee consisting of C. H.

indorsing the Omaha platform, de

an d opposition to national banks, and
called on Governor Atkinson to im¬
mediately order an election. The res¬
olutions were adopted unanimously.
^Tr. TV. M. Haws, of Warren county,
th en nominated Thomas E. Watson to
be the populist candidate for congress,
and Mr. Watson was nominated witn
ou Mr. ^ opposition. Watson then appeared before
the convention, speaking for an hour.
He called on the democrats to give
him a fair showing and declared that,
if he did not have a majority of the
votes, he did not desire to represent
the district. His speech throughout
was mild and conservative and was
loudly applauded. Speeches chief were
made by several delegates, the
characteristic of which was their at¬
tack on the fourth or silver party.
QUIET AT NEW ORLEANS.
But the Militia Is Still on Duty-The
Grand Jury at Work.
Saturday’s advices state that there
is no change in the labor situation at
New Orleans. Everything is quiet. of
The governor estimates the cost
keeping out the militia to be between
$1,000 and $1,200 per day. There
being but $5,000 appropriated by the
state during a whole year for use of
the military in actual service, this sum
will be entirely exhausted within the
next day or so. It will then become
necessary for the business men of New
Orleans and all others interested in
maintaining law and order to subscribe
to a fund to continue the vigilance
which has been so effective, at least
temporarily, in restoring peace.
GRAND JURY INVESTIGATING.
The riot is now being investigated
by the grand jury. A large number
of witnesses have been summoned from
the police force and among the negro
serewmen who were present at the
scene, and whose bodies were made
the targets for the revolvers and rifles
of the attacking party. Judge Moise
delivered a special charge to the grand
jury, urging them to probe the affair
to the bottom in order to discover the
perpetrators of the outrage.
