ARMY FINANCES CRIPPLED.
Serious Difficulties Threatened by the
Delay i'm Making Appropriations.

War Department officials are becoming not
little alarmed over the mcagre prospects
for tho passage of the Army Appropriation
Till. The situation at present seems TO war
rant the DeIIe1 Jnat no Dill ut I'LL csili bu cn-
acted at this session. Indeed, it is feared
that the Senate will even refuse to tile over
the difficulty by passing another emergency
resolution continuing further last years mp
preparations, in which event the army would
be left in pretty prcdicament. 1t is quite
important that action Of some kind should
be taken during tho coming week, for OIL the
3lst inst. the resolution under which the
army is at present paid will soon expire, and
then will commence the embarrassing pc
riol With no funds available the wheels Of
the whole department will be- blocked, result.
Ing in great hardship to thousands of people
and Of no end of embarrassment to the gov
ernment.
The officers and enlisted men will, OF course
have good claims for delayed payments when
appropriations do become available, for the
commissions of the former and terms OF tho
enlistment OF the latter are contracts that the
government cannot Ignore, but IN the case OF
the many civilians who are connected with
the army in one way or another they would
all have to DO discharged after the 3lst inst.
This being the situation, the Senate would
make wise move by refusing to PISS any
more emergency resolutions, for BY such
action they would force the House 10 either
accept the Army bill with the ordnance
amendment attached or the serious response
bility for leaving the army in such plight.
Considerable embarrassment has already
ensusd through tho delay i'll acting on tho
bill. The appropriations contained In it for
construction of and Improvement Of build
ings at military posts should have been avail
able two months ago in order that the much
needed improvements should be under way
during the building season. In anticipation
of the 100000 appropriation TO r the con-
struction of buildings Mt Fort Sheridan, che
military post hear Chicago, arrangements
were being made 10 commence work ut once,
but it will be utterly impossible now to begin
building operations before next season, even
if the bill should be passed.

trio, who suddenly emerged from Mather's
store. The lawyer started across the street,
but Miss Belle Ferguson followed behind
him and plying her horscwhip stnnrtly
across lis should IT'S ond hands. A large
crowd was quickly attracted by the unusual
scene, and after Miss Ferguson had satisfied
herself slc withdrew with her companions

DEFIANT LIQUOR DEALERS,
Strong Kicks Against Ohios Sunday
Closing Law.

Strong Kicks Against Ohio's Sunday
Closing Law.
A week ago Sunday the German War
rior's Association of the United States held
its annual meeting in Cleveland, Ohio. AL
though there is strict law providing that
all saloons in tho State shall be closed on
Sunday, nearly all the principal saloon keep
ers of the city opened their doors that day
and sold liquor over the bar without any at-
tempt at concealment.
This nserant violation of the law was de.
nouncad as an outrage by the press, and
twenty-five of the leading offenders were
arrested. Last Sunday evening the liquor
dealers end their sympathizers held a mass
meeting mud protested against the action OF
the police, and resolved to defy the Sunday
closing law in the future and fight it in the
courts as unconstitutional This action has
aroused the utmost indignation. Citizens
are arranging for q monster mass meeting
in Music Hall, in the interest of law and
order and Sunday closing.
The saloon keepers arrested for keeping
open Sunday we're arraigned in the police
court. Their attorney claimed that they
had been given to understand by the city
authorities that they would not be prosecut-
ed if they sold BIER on the Sunday in ques-
ton, aud that under tho circumstances they
should not be prosecuted. Judge Coates
overruled the motion to dismiss the cases
and the men will probably receive a jury
trial.

dercd BIZ Highwaymen.

A bold highway robbery was perpetrated
near Clarksburg William Johns, a cattle
dealer, who handles thousands of cattle every
year, was on his way home with his poclie:s

sale. In his trousers pockets was some SG0]
and nearly 800 more, mostly in largo bills,
wos in his wastcoat.
He was riding in buggy alone along n
frequentcd road when three men whom he
met attacked him. One went to the rear Of
the buggy while one of the others levelled
revolver at his head an the third demanded
his money. Johns made an attempt to cs-
cape, when the man with the revolver fired
close enough to his head to brighten him from
his purpose. BY this time the man in the
rear had dexteriousy slipped Il rope around
the arms of their victim ard it'd him fast.
They then rined his pockets, cutting open
his clothes in their haste. Every dollar
about him was taken. The men then left,
taking different directions None of them
werc masked and made no effort to hurry
away.
About an hour after Johns got his arms
loose and went 10 town, where he informed

KU-KLUX METHODS REVIVED
An Anti-Whiskcy Citizen Threatened
in a South Carolina Town

The vicinity of Scranton, thriving town
in williamsburg county, S. c., is excited
over recent genuine Ku,klux attempt to
intimiLatc r. c. Willoughby, ono of line
largest manufacturers in the state. lie is
PROMINENT advocate of temperance, and
about two years ago he began crusade
against whiskcy, which resulted in the town
being decided dry. This excited the ire OF
tho liquor clement, and band was organ
lied 10 break up his businc and force Inn
10 leave the town. The first steps were taken
about month ago. when Willoughby's
master mechanic ras attacked one night by
q mob, who, nrtar beating him badly, SHOT
him twice, not seriously, however, and ran
him ort OF town. The mob next went to
tviiio"shby's -h"uno, whore his wife lay IA,
and created IL great disturbance by firing Off
guns and pistols and calling for Willoughby
in very threatening tone.
Willoughby recognized several Of them rs
leading citizens Of the town, and he promptly
led warrants sworn out against them. A
few days ago the whole town was thrown
into great excitement b. the arrest of is
white men and 8 negroes upon the
charge of conspiracy. Since thes, arrests
Wi.loughby has received several threatening
letters. One of them reads Us follows:
'.s;ir take notice: no negro equalizer chr
roost around Scran OH. You are allowed
only thirty days TO leave. BY order the
most high council.
(SigncdJ The White Mans Government"
The letters are not having the desired
effect, however, as lyilloughby intends push
ing the case to the very end, and some
startling revelations are locked for when the
preliminary trial Of the defendants will take
place Both si.ioS have strong friends, and
the situation Is considered quite critical.

the Eruption Of Bandaison

The State Department has received from
Minister Hubbard at Toxic, on account of a
trip recently taken by Mr. F. S. Mansfield,
the Secretary of the United States Legation,
to the scene of the disastrous volcanic erup-
ton of the Mountain Baudaison in the prov
ince Of Jwashire. The letter states that the
first disturbance was noticed on July IS, and
was followed by three earthquake shocks ten
minutes apart. Then q loud explosion took
place, accompanied by another terrific trenl-
bling The air became filled with black
ashes and suirocatiDg sulphurous dust.
Many persons were killed in the great panic
that enslled, while others died of sufrocation.
At four o'clock in the afternoon the eruption
which lasted seven hours entirely ceased.
The number of lives lost was SIS, and only
seventy bodies have.been recovered The
imperial government has established hos
pitfalls for the care of the wounded. In the
villages surrounding tho mountain ma
iority of tie houses were thrown down. The

Monday ends the first month Of the eXIs
tence of yellow fever in Jacksonville, Fla.
Tho record is not frightful so far consider.
ing the panic it has created throughout the
country. 1t is as follows: Total cases, one
hundred and seven; deaths, seventeen; dis
charged cured, twenty eight; under treat
ment, sixty-two many of whom are con-
vale cent The sensational stories about the
suppression of news of cases and deaths by
the authorities are utterly false. Possibly
few cases have not been reported by family
physicians, bur the number is doubtless OIL
set by cases reported that are not typical
yellow fever cases. No death has been sup
pressed The Board of Health announced
the first suspicious casc-that of Mccormick,
of Tampa, ut the Grand Union Hotcl-the
day it was discovered, and so it is with other
cases.
Of late there has prevailed most unfavora-
BILE weather, it being slnshiny hot; yet lew
new cases were developed, seven constituting
the list. One Of these, g. II. Pollard was
and died. There have been two deaths
besides Polard's-Burton Mays, Il colored
man, aud Albert Fisher, n fireman; i. VI.
Macarthur, a fireman of tho $. +. & w. H.

physicians claim that it was from coll

cessible and healthy regions of country
south of the line are still inviting our people
to come in.
Political work is much hampcred by the
fever and consequent scare. Both the DEM
ocratic and Republican candidates for the
governorship have been quarantined--
Captain Fleming at Monticello, and Colonel
Shipman at his home, in Sawley--for har-
boring relatives WHO are refugees from
Jacksonville. Both are FREQ now. The
schooner Charlotte Sibley, with ice from
Belfast Me-, came in Monday. The crew
stopped ut Mayport. The vessel was brought
up by a tug in charge of stevcdoreS. She
will be towed to the saw-mill below the city
and fumigated.
There was great excitement in La Villa
over the fact that e. Macarthur, u yellow
foyer patient died ut No. 326 Church street
and the body laid there having been exposed
in that condition for twelve hours. The
people around state that no yellow fever
flag or guard WINS placed over the house, Us
Dr. Romero, who attended the deceased,
said that Macarthur did not have the yellow
fever Believing this humber of persons
visited tho sick man, and it is feared that
some of them may contract the disease.
