WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ll-Most of the
session of the Cabinet to-day was occupied
in discussing the estimates for the sup
port of the government during the ensuing
fiscal year, the heads of each department
having been engaged for several days in
ascertaining to what extent the estimates
for his department might be reduced. 1t
is generally understood that the falling off
10 revenue renders imperative a corres-
ponding reduction of expenses, and the
question is as to what are the most urgeI
il the service. Another subject briefly dis
cussed was the illict distillery troubles
in Arkansas. The opinion of the Attorney
General was read. In effect it is THAT the
civil authorities must exhaust all means to
enforce the laws before the military CT n
be called upon. Should it be shown that
the civil authorities are powerless to exc
cute the laws, the President will then is
sue his proclamation commanding often
ders to cease their violations of law, and
if not obeyed the military will be employed
to break up such illicits stills.

theatre last night at the time of the fataI
panic. 1t appears that one OF the perform
ers was singing a comic song wnen the

the firemen joined by the police entered
the building to reassure the people. The
manager of the theatre upon the first
alarm rushed into the pit from the en-
trance and shouted to the people to re-
main quiet, but all his efforts were inet'
fectual until the theatre had been nearly
cleared, when the dead and injured were
carried to the Royal Infrmary. Two oi
the dead were women, three boys and thir
ty-two strong, able bodied men, of the la
boring class.
A fight was commenced in the pit, the CRY
of fire was raised and there was q genera
