tired at the last election, has been a per-
sistent beggar for the Office ever since he
learned of Gilfllan's going out. This he
was aware of long before the resignation
was made public. Gilfllan goes to New
York to act with Mr.. Window in helping
the new financial operations of the latter.
Mr.. Window and Senator John Sherman
are urging Neal for the post of United
States treasurer. 1t remains to be seen
whether civil service reform or political
influence will carry the day.
WINDOWS NEW VENTURE.
John Sherman is interested
with Window in the coming
financial plunge. Through his broker he
has become subscriber to WINDOWS new
stock exchange. 1t is questioned here
whether this venture can meet with great
success. There is no trouble about one
point, and that is raising the money to be-
gin. A trustworthy New York authority
says the seats are nearly all taken. John
Sherman is itching still to get into bust
ness. Ii Window is successful Sherman
viii be tempted to follow him. The Ohio
senator has become quite intimate with j.
G. Blaine lately and ell that means getting
into business. Blaine is in q great coal
iron aud Southern railroad scheme. Win
dom is also a stockholder, so is Senator
Davis, of West Virginia. Davis did not
care to be reelected on account of the
demands of his new enterprise. If Garfield
had lived. Blaine and Window in the
70 how ad
high into the millions. As it is the profits
promised are great. John Sherman is one
of the later friends who have been taken
into the combination.
THE TOBACCO TAX.
Regulations for the government of
claims for rebate on tobacco taxes are be-
ing prepared at the internal revenue bureau.
They will be substantially as follows: On
the first of May each owner will be re-
quired to make an inventory of the stock
upon which he claims rebate. He will
make an affidavit to the effect that such
stock was on hand on that date, that the
United States tax was fully paid, and that
the inventory is a true one. The claim
must be supported by the affidavit of two
disinterested persons to the effect that
they examined the stock personally and
compared it with the inventory, that
they know the stock to have all
been in possession of the claimant on the
said 1st of May, and that the inventory is
correct. These claims are to be forwarded
to the deputy collectors, who will be re-
quired to make inquiries as to the integrity
and creditability of the claimant and his
witnesses. The deputy will certify the re-
suit of his inquiries to the collector, who
will schedule the claims after they have
been received and certify to their correct
ness. Finally they will be sent to the
commissioner Of internal revenue. All
claims must be presented within sixty
days after the 1st of Nay to the collectors
or deputies, or they will not
be recognized, the law barring
them out. 1t is expected that it will take
the revenue bureau until winter to pass
upon all the claims filed for rebate. They
will reach in the neighborhood of 100000.
The fact that no appropriation has been
made by congress to pay the $3,O00,O00 or
$4,000,000 of rebate will not affect the
payment of the claims to any extent, as
congress will be in session again before all
the accounts can be finally decided.
wIGGINS' BIG STORM,
An officer of the civil service bureau in
this city, when asked to-day whether
there had been any signs
of the big blow which
Wiggins has arranged for tomorrow said:
''We have received no indication of any
unusual storm energy, and do not appre-
hend that there will be any disturbance.
1t is, of course, possible that severe
storm may prevail on the 18th, but it cer-
tainly will not come in the way Virgins
indicates. He says the storm will be first
felt in the Rocky mountains region, from
which it will take circuit to the Gulf of
Mexico and reappear in the Atlantic and
Eastern states. Now, the fact is,
storms don't travsl in that way
and never do. They sometimes start
in the gulf and proceed in q
northeast or northwest direction, but
never travel from the Rocky mountains to
the gulf.
If there was to be storm on the North
ern Pacific tomorrow We should certainly
have received indications before this. If
we have any storm at all it will come from
the gulf, and that is very improbable. 1
feel warranted in saying that Wiggins'
theories are all nonsense and his predio-
tions for tomorrow and the 11th will not
be carried out"
| TABoR's LATE MATRIMoNIAL VENTURE.
Society here is a trifle agitated over the
| threatened bombardment of social strong
holds by Senator Tabor and his new bride.
He has announced his intention of build
ing house here and entertain with mil
lions. He and his wife will have no trou-
BILE in drawing crowd to the house. His
outrageous desertion of his first wife, who
supported him for years, has been pub
lished. A number of senators refused
Tabor's dinner invitations before he mar
ried the celebrity. Some newspapers de-
scribe her as beautiful. She may be 10
the eyes of advancing age.
