THE FINANCIAL CONDITION.
1t is said that figures do not lie,
yet it must be said they cut queer
capers sometimes. For instance,
some Arrow correspondent recently
arranged lot of figures and sta
tistics showing that the nation is
falling in debt heavily and that it
will fall about ninety-three thou
sand dollars short this year
which is not true, though there
viii be shortage Of some thou
sands Of dollars. On the other
hand, a good administration man
proves very satisfactorily, to his
own kind, that the financial con-
dition Of the country is exceeding
" good; that the nation is in bet
ter condition now than il has been
for yesrs, and that all obligations
can be promptly met. This state
ment is also 10 be taken with due
allowance, as is evident from the
fact that officers cannot draw their
salaries till next year. The fnan-
cial condition of the country is not
SO good, and il is not right 10 say
otherwise. The truth should be
told frankly. The amount re-
eeived annually for the support Of
ths schools Is too small by far:

for that people, he was taunted
with the insinuation that he was
acting in the interest Of the cattle
baron, or Of monopoly, or a

ter and culpable and corrupt mo-
tive for his action. He (Mr. In
galls) protested against the propo-
sition. II was the enunciation OF
a doctrine that shocked the moral
sense Of mankind. Such doc
trine ought not TO be entertained
in the senate. The Cherokces
ought not to be subjected to men,

understand, and should under

make them do so, that they had a

NEXT to Vinita no town in the

Claremore. Claremore will be

Since the completion of the Valley
road, improvement has been rapid;
grist mills, lumber yards and
stores have gone up to meet the
demands of traffic. The country
round about the little city is fast
settling up and prosperity is evi-
dent everywhere.

THE DYNAMITE CRUISER.
Chief Engineer Melville Recomme nds
Her Acceptance-The Penalties.

Chief Engineer Melville has reported to
Secretary Tracy the results Of the recent
trials of the machinery of the dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius and recommends the acceptance of
that vessel. His recommendation will be fol-
lowed without any doubt, as it has been
demonstrated that all Of the contract require
ments have been complied with.
But far more serious question arises as to
whether or not the contractors, the Pneumatic
Dynamite Gun Company, shall receive the full
amount of the contract money that has been
withheld pending final acceptance, nearly
$4,000 in all. The vessel was not finished in
time, and for some months penalties accrued
for non-completion amounting to about
$4,000 These kept on accumulating through
out her earlier tests, but were stopped by
order of Secretary Tracy when the ship was
put through her armament tests in October last.
The delays in submitting to the subsequent
trials have all been due to the slowness of the
contractors, and the government will probably
hold that SO far from remitting any penalties
1t should really insist upon full payment
from the time of the expiration of the
contract to the date of the acceptance.
But this will not be done. as the Secretary's
order stands in the way. The contractors will
be paid the $50, 900 due them over and above
the corrected penalties. and they will have to
knock at the doors Of Congress for reimburse
ment. They are quite likely to obtain the pas
sage OF bill for relief the ground of the nov
city OF the construction Of the vessel that they
built aided by large amount of influence in
political way that they are supposed to be
able to exert in certain directions. The Cramps
of Philadelphia are the subcontractors in the
case, and. although not recognized by the
department. are still very active in their
endeavors to have the penalties remitted

IMPORTANT NAVAL CHANGES.
Commodore McCann Detachable Nav
Command the European Squadron.

Commodore William P. McCann has been de-
tached from the command Of the Boston navy
yard and placed on waiting orders. This is
simply because of the expiration of his regular
tour of duty, and he will probably be given
some sea service before long. II is thought
likely that he will be placed in COM
mand Of the European station, which
is at present without An admiral and
without ships The U.s.S. Enterprise, which
so lately figured rather conspicuously in the
newspapers, will soon be repaired, and, it is ex-
pected will then sail for Stockholm with the
body of the late John Ericsson, the inventor Of
the monitor. She will then resume her place
in the European squadron.
A COMPLICATION AT BOSTON.
Capt. Thos. o. Selfridge has been ordered to
duty as Commodore McCanu's successor in
command of the Boston yard. and this may
lead to some interesting complications. for ,he
receiving ship Wabash, which lies Al the Bos-
ton yard. is commanded by Capt Chas. C.
Carpenter. who is four files above Selfridge in
rank. 1t is not generally regarded
as the proper thing to place q
junior in command over a senior
and there is likely to be some little ruffiing of
feathers before the matter is adjusted. The
Boston yard has always been decorated with A
large amount Of high rank for one that is mot
in active operation.

from having had experience with cranks while
ruling as mayor OF a New York town, received
by express yesterday morning very suspicious
looking package. He was not willing to take
any chances in opening an unknown bundle, so
he sent it down stairs with the request that it
be opened. No one would undertake the job.
1t was finally taken out in the back yard and an
old colored man volunteered to draw the nails.
Every one else stood aside to see the thing 60
off. Slowly the mystic package was opened 70

THE HOUSE IN AN UPROAR.
Closing Scenes of the Tariff Struggle
Mr.. Butterworth's Protest.

The business Of the Ho use vas begun this
morning amid great excitement. Up to the
time for taking the vote on the engrossment
and third reading OF the Mckinley bill the
whole House was in an uproar. The most feel
ing was manifested by republicans, who are
dissatisfied with the bill. and who have been
kept quiet heretofore by the hope that
they might get consideration for amendments
they desired to offer which would put them
straight with their constituents. Being cut off
by the expiration Of the time limit, with their
amendments still unconsidered there was
much protesting and loud expressions Of in
dignatlon. But in the midst of the confusion
the hour of noon arrived. Mr.. Mckinley
waved his hand, palm down, and quiet settled
upon the House.
Mr.. BurTERwoRGH SCORES THE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Butterworth, among the many protesters,
was one who made himself heard and he scored
the committee vigorously. He complained that
the opportunity to amend had been cut of by
the committee and that there had been no
effort to get the consensus of opinion of the
party, but that the committee had forced
their bill through and tried to bind the politi-
cal consciences Of members. He said he did
not believe that there had been any divine de-
cree nor yet any command of the republican
party by which the ark Of the political covenant
was committed to a few gentlemen. He. for
his own part wanted to do one of two things
either vote according to his own
convictions, or 30 as to agree with what should
be the consensus OF opinion on the republican
side of the House. There had been no chance
to determine what the consensus of opinion
was. He said that if this were the end many
votes might be recorded differently from what
they would be today.
DISSATISFIED REPUBLICANS LOOKING TO THE
SENATE.
II is said by republicans that enough repub-
lican votes would have been recorded against
the bill to defeat it but for the fact that they
had absolute assurances that the bill will be
torn to pieces and revised by the Senate, most
of the features to which republicans object be-
ing eradicated. 1t is we'll understood that the
Senate finance committee will report q very
different measure

this point they disagreed with Mr..
LOCKER himself. He was very anxious
to be retired with the rank of commodore, but

sary steps for retirement frustrated that plan
