that \ ou borrow trouble. \ ou

intending to laud arms in Cuba.
The long and stubborn tight be¬
tween tho civil service commission and

commission to have been illegal, has

Internal Revenue Receipts.
Collections of internal revenue from
all sources for the eight ruonihs of the
current fiscal year, as compiled by
Commissioner Miller, show the re¬
ceipts to have agregated $100,532,464,
an increase over the the eight months
of 1894 of $5,180,622. The principal
sources of revenue were: Spirits,
$59,095,588, an increase of $4,085,-
763; .tobacco, $19,761,742, an in¬
crease of $1,069,999, fermented liquors,
$20,118,768, a decreaso of $129,099;
oleomargerine, $1,108,276, a decrease
of $228,184 aud miscellaneous, $436,-

ceipts for February were $1,701,-
445 less than for February 1894.
Among the itmes of receipts for
February is o no of $11,818 on ^
account of income tax under the new
law. This is the first time auv re

Th« Great Pension Draiu.
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
estimates that there will not be any
decreased amount appropriated for
pensions during the next three years. j
The amount appropriated for the fis
cal year of 1896 in round numbers is
$140,000,000; for the present year the j
amount was $150,000,000. The reason
for the absence of any perceptible de
crease is that the falling off, owing to
deaths and other causes, is about
counter-balanced by first payments
in pensions allowed. As cases
are allowed from time to time
there are large first payments,
some times for arrears, and always
dated from the time the application
was filed. The decrease in some
classes of claims are quiet great, as in
the pensions for the war of 1812, which
have decreased about 50 per cent iu
the past year. After three vears when
it is expected the majority of claims
will be adjudicated, and there will be
few remaining first payments, Com
missioner Lochren expects there will
then be a rapid falling off in pensions,
as they have now reached the age
when it is to be expected. He then
expects the pension appropriation will
be diminished in size very materially.
Curtailing tlie Foro*,
On the 3d day of March, 1893, con¬
gress created a joint commission to re¬
organize the accounting system and
business methods in the executive de¬
partments. The commission consisted
of Representatives Dockerv of Mis

Cockrell, of Maine, and Senators
of Missouri; Jones of Kr

SHORTAGE IN A MINT.
The Accounts of tho Carson, Nevada,
Money Mill About $<>0,000 Short.
Mr. Preston, tho director of the
mint, early last mouth received an in¬
timation that there was a shortage in
the accounts of the refiner and melter
of the Carson, Nev., mint. Superin¬
tendent Mason, of the New York as¬
say office, was immediately detailed to
make an investigation.
On the face of the accounts there
appeared a shortage of 3,000 ounces
of gold and 3,000 ounces of silver,
making a total of something less than
$60,000.
The responsibility has been located
on Hirsch Harris, melter and refiner
at the mill, who has been suspended
pending investigation.
In connection with the shortage it
is stated that Joseph D on-l ass, a bro-
1JkHPl.....
two months agAf which it isUsu ppULCU
came from the mint, the bullion con¬
taining no gold.
Silver bullion from the mines in
this locality always contains gold.
This sale will be the subject of an in¬
vestigation. When bullion is trans¬
ferred back and forth between depart¬
ments of the mint, reoeipts are given
which fix the responsibility when a
loss occurs. The smelting and refining
is belived to be the department which
is short.
POPULISTS WILL NOT JOIN.
Official Announcement that They’ll
Not Affiliate with the New Party.
Ignatius Donnelly and Sidney M.
Owen, populist candidate for governor
at the last election, made official an¬
nouncement that the people’s party of
Minnesota will not join the free silver
coinage party. Mr. Donnelly says;
“The idea of our party deserting the
principles laid down in the Omaha
platform and consenting to be the tail
to an exclusive free silver party is al¬
most too silly to discuss. The people’s
party has other and fully as important
plans ou and for the amelioration
of the condition of mankind. If the
silver men are in earnest in their
move, let them join our party. We
have always favored the free coinage
<>f silver, but we have other plans in
view which we caunot abandon. Had
the silver men stood by our party in
the last election we would have carried
Colorado, Mon tana, Washington, Idaho,
Wyoming and perhaps other states.
Tustead of doing this, they said that
the republican party in those states
was in favor of the free coinage of
-ilver, and, therefore, it was good
enough for them. If that is so, I do
not see why the same party is not
good enough for them still.”

Scenes at the Mine.
The scene about the mine was heart
rending. The air was filled with the
agonizing screams of 50 widows and
250 orphans as they gathered about and
saw the distorted features and mangled
remains of fathers or husbands, sons
or brothels, or realized at last that
there was no hope to see their loved
ones rescued alive from the mine’s
cruel depths. Help and succor have
been tendered from all sources.
The mules that were in the mine
were kiled, as were the men, evidently
by the force of the concussion and
were removed as fast as they could bo
reached.
The explosion blew out or loosened
all the timbering and supports and
cracked and shattered the walls and
roof of the interior of the mine, so
'that the search for the dead is attend
ed with great peril. The work of re
covering the dead becomes more difft
cult as the working parties advance to
ward the seventh level, where it is
thought the thirty. ' |rit men who have
-the coming man m
day, which ’was to "dike them to
surface.
A few lives were because of
the time of the expb^^^^^^^^^ S
quit tomary work for at them 6 o’clo^^RW^H^^ to be th^ei^
near
trance and come out just as the whistle
blows. A number had come out and
some had just left the entrance to the
mine slope away from the working
tunnel when tho explosion occurred,
thus escaping death.
Sixty men perished in the disaster,
thirty-eight of whom are still in the
mine. About thirty of the dead be¬
longed to the Ancient Order of United
Workmen and were insured for $2,000
each.
FAIR’S LATEST WILL.
His Children are Overjoyed at Its Dis¬
covery.
When the Fair will matter came up
before Judge Slack at San Francisco
Monday morning, Reuben H. Lloyd,
of counsel for the children, presented
a holographic will of the dead ex-sen¬
ator dated three days later than the
one originally filed for probate and
which has been stolen. He stated to
the court that Fair had given the will
into the custody of a highly respected
lady, who had just become cognizant
of the fact that the document was
dated later than the missing one.
As soon as the will was put on rec¬
ord, the attorneys on both sides
agreed to have the matter of the pro¬
bate of the document set for April 2d.
Tho attorneys for the executors asked
that their petitition for the probate of
the certified copy of the stolen will be
set for the same date. The under¬
standing is that at that time the exec¬
utors of the stolen document will pro¬
ceed to attack the authenticity of the
new one.
SIOUX CITY SUFFERS.
Property to the Value of $400,000
Goes U p in Smoke.
The greatest fire in the history of
Sioux City, la., occurred Thursday
morning, destroying It property to the
value of $400,000. started in a pile
of rubbish on the platform of the
Western Transfer and Implement Com
pany s warehouse, and in an hour the
great iron building, four stories high
and covering a full quarter block of
ground, with over $200,000 worth of
implements and carriages, was a heap
of ruins. The fire spread to the plant
of the Sioux City Linseed Oil Com¬
pany, and soon the big elevator, with
100,000 bushels of flax in it, was de¬
stroyed.
KANSAS CITY BANK FAILURE.
The National Goes to the Wall as a Re
suit of the Panic of ’93.
The National Eank of Kansas Citv
failed to open its doors Monday morn
iDg. The direct cause of the failure
was the unfavorable statement of the
bank’s affairs given out March 5th.
In the panic of 1893, the bank sus
pended, but through an arrangement
between depositors and stockholders,
it The was steady permitted^ withJrawal to resume of dejiosits business. since
that time has placed the bank in an
embarassmg position and necessitated
another suspension. The statement
given out is not complete. It shows
asaetsof $1,800,000; liabilities, $1,050,

making this appropriation was pushed
through the senate by the efforts of
Senator John B. Gordon. The sena
tors recognized his good purpose in
the matter and lent him their willing
assistance. The bill passed the house
during the last session without a dis
senting voice.
This act of the government consti
tutes the first recognition ever shown
the confederacy by the government,
and for that reason is very significant.
The dedication speech will be made
by General Wade Hampton. The
southern generals who will be present

THE ALLIANCA OUTRAGE.
The Commander Who Fired Upon the
Vessel Found.
Advices from Havana state that the
commander of the Spanish cruiser
Conde de Yenadito reports that on
March 8th, while cruising off the east¬
ern coast of the island, he sighted a
steamer heading for Mavsi point. The
steamer’s course was to the northeast.
The cruiser hoisted a flag and the
steamer replied by raising an English
flag. The cruiser signaled the steamer
to stop, but without effect. As the
steamer proceeded at full speed the
cruiser first fired two blauk shots and
then two solid shots.
The commander says he did not de¬
sire to hit the steamer, but merely to
cause her to heave to. He asserts that
the steamer was but one and a haif
miles off the Cuban coast when the fir¬
ing occurred. The authorities at
Havana have ordered that a full in¬
quiry be made iuto the commander’s
acts.
Judging from Captain Grossman's
story, nobody can doubt that the
steamer in question was the Allianca
which was fired ou by a Spanish
cruiser on March 8th.
THE HOURS TO TESTIFY.

itentiary Committee.

tentiary committee has summoned ex

It was a curious procession, ranging
in age from the baby in arms to the
old man tottering on tho verge of the
grave. The women came first and
made strange contrasts, One with a
checked apron and a sunbonnet was
followed by a jauntily-dressed girl of
more tender years, with gaudy plumed
hat and bright ribbons. Some carried
valises, others buckets, others tins
full of small articles. After the women
came the men, some with shotguns,
rifles, and others with assorted lug¬
gage. All were sent into the stern of
the vessel and grouped together in or¬
der that a picture of the vessel might
be taken. Tho couut showed 202, of
which 38 were children and 7 infants.
The clearance papers put the number
at 197.
Over four hundred trunks and boxes
were taken as baggage. In the boxea
are agricultural implements, firearms,
ammunition, household utensils and
supplies, clothing, etc. Tho party
will probably bo the best equipped
that has ever left America for the dark
continent. Since their arrival in Sa¬
vannah they have spent probably $1 ,-
500 to $2,000 laying in stores. The
majority of the negroes appear to be
still quite well supplied with money.
There is probabl ot a man J the
party 'hut llcj o provide
subsistence ine time after land
ing in Liberia. Supplied as they are,
there is no danger of this party starv¬
ing to death or otherwise suffering if
there is any possibility of making a
living at all in the land to which they
are going.
When tho vessel’s lines were cast off
there was a cheer from the crowd on
the wharves and the emigrants sang
their parting song: “I’m Going Home
to Afric’s Shores. ” The refrain was
taken up by those on the shore. The
singing was kept up until tho vessel
passed the city, the crowd following
along the wharves shouting goodbyes.
From the negroes gathered on the
crowded deck of the steamship came
back shouts from men and - women,
while the colorbearer of the party, a
sturdy negro of small dimensions, vio¬
lently waved a large American flag
that will be displayed as the Horsa
enters the harbor of Monrovia. The
Horsa expects to reach Monrovia about
April 1st, and after lauding the emi¬
grants "will endeavor to secure a return
cargo. The party is accompanied by
E. B. Cottingham, secretary of the
International Migration Society; Pt.C.
Truesdal and J. C. Lanchester, and
W. M. Simpson, agent of the charter¬
ers. The missionary cause is repre¬
sented by four colored ministers, who
go with funds to build a church in
Monrovia.
GOVERNOR FOSTER’S POSITION.
He Alone Can Secure a Settlement of
the Labor Troubles.
The general impression is that there
is only one man in the city of New
Orleans or state who can secure a set¬
tlement of the existing labor troubles,
and nearl;/ every one is wondering
why his excellency has not made an
effort in that direction.
Governor Foster’s action in the
strike in 1892 is recalled. He was ac¬
corded with having harmoniously
brought that affair readily to a con¬
clusion, which was in time to compass
great public weal. Now it is believ¬
ed that the governor could be equally
as effective in the present emer¬
gency. But from an interview had
with Governor Foster, it is gathered
that he was not wholly responsible for
arranging matters before. Also, he
does not occupy the same relative po¬
sition now as he did then. Before he
was in touch with the leaders of both
sides; now he is not approached or
communicated with by either party to
the dispute.
Therefore the position is recognized
as a very peculiar one, and the chief
executive can do nothing to render the
public assistance beyond continuing to
sustain armed peace on the levee front.

Won’t Recognize the Advance,
The whisky dealers of Cincinnati
have signed an agreement refusing to
recognize the advance in spirits order¬
ed by the trust, and will continue to
quote at $1.25. This action is taken
as evidence that the dealers iu the city
will not follow the future orders of the
receiver.
