The Deeper the Experts Probe the

PHILADELPHIA, June 12.-The deeper
the experts probe into the affairs of ex-
City Treasurer Bardsley, the more ap-
parent his rascalities become, and the
enormous sums which he made away
with are daily added to. Yesterday the
accountants reported grave discrepancy
in Bardsley's accounts with the State,
and to-day presented Mayor Stuart with
q statement showing that S420,0 600 of the
State appropriation for public school pur-
poses for the year ending June 30th to-
gether with balance Of S25, 900 from the
previous year, making a total Of S445, 600,
had been misappropriated by Bardsley
to his own uses. The State Treasurer
showed that S420, 900 of the amount noted
above was paid Bardsley on December
3lst. It is surmised that he used part of
this vast sum to take up bad checks of
the keystone Bank for 100000 that he
was carrying as cash.

PHILADELPHIA, June II. = The Su-
preme Court this morning decided that
the City Council did not have the right to
select q successor to City Treasurer
Bardsley. The appointment of Wright
by Governor Pattison is, therefore, sus-
tanned.
Ina lengthy opinion, the Chief Justice
says: 1T is sufficient to say that for the
purpose of this case we must regard the
Office designated as City Treasurer as a
county and not city office. The Treas
urer, by whatever name he be called, is a
county officer, to exercise its functions -

How the Six Votes swe,Ied.

1t is possible that the system of Ameri-
can politics is trifle too complicated for
the female mind to grasp at once. A
lady in Missouri who was candidate for
School Commissioner received but six
votes. Out of gratitude for the men who
rallied SO nobly to her standard she
offered reward of $50 each if they would
come forward and reveal their identity.
The day the reward was offered 7S9 men
presented themselves at the house and
claimed the reward. The lady now be-
lieves if she were really and truly de-
feated there must be many men base
enough to say they voted for her when
they did not, simply to get her $50. She
is much puzzled over the whole circum-
stance. To the credit of her business
sense it may be said that she has sus-
pended payment in the matter of the re-
ward until she has had time to think it

Democratic Leaders to Begin Scam

WASHINGTON, June l2.-John G. Car
Isle and Roger @. Mills, when in the city
few days ago at Wizards Hotel, received
great many calls from prominent men
of their party, and it was agreed to begin
at once a campaign of education" Mills
was enthusiastic, and declared that the
time was now ripe for a vigorous policy,
and that there should be no hesitancy
among Democrats concerning the tariff
question, as there had been formerly.
They should either declare for free trade
or for a heavy reduction of the tariff
duties Carlisle was more moderate than
Mills, and cautioned him against COM
mitting the party too broadly in favor of
free trade.
Logan Carlisle, son of the Senator, has,
within the last few days, been appointed
an associate editor in the Louisville
CoUTier-JouTpaL Office. He has been
thoroughly schooled by his father, and it
is believed that beside his own editorial
matter Senator Carlisle will himself con-
tribute to the cause of tariff reform
through the CO9TieT-,JOUTnGPS columns.
Roger Q. Mills announces this morning
that he viii at once begin to write book,
in which the tariff question will be
handled IL a way suited to the compre-
hension of all classes of the people. He

WASHINGTON, June IA number of
inquiries have been received at the State
Department from philanthropic organiza-
tions and individuals as to the failure of
the United States to signify its adherence
to the Congo treaty, the final ratification
of which must be exchanged before the
end of the month.
This treaty is an agreement to suppress
the slave trade, and the sale of breech-
loading firearms and intoxicants in the
Congo district of equatorial Africa and
nearly all of the great powers have ac-
cepted it.
To the inquiries the State Department
replied that the subject was still pending
in the United States Senate, and the de-
partment does not feel at liberty to dis
cuss the matter generally. But it is
proper to say, as result of recent CORE
spondence, that it is not improbable that
the treaty will go into effect at the ap-
pointed time in respect to all of the sig
natories except the United States, and it
will be left open to this Government to
give its adhesion hereafter.
The opponents of the treaty in the last
session of the Senate took their stand
upon several propositions. One was that
the approval of the treaty by the United
States would carry with it a recognition
Of certain French claims to a large part of
Liberia, which recent events show are
now being actively pushed, and, as that
country is regarded as one Of our wards,
we could not permit such aggression. It
was also urged that the United States
could not, consistently with the Monroe
doctrine, undertake to join a plan of die
tation respecting affairs on another CONT
nent And, again, it would be unwise
for the United States to give recognition
! to the present rather broad claims of Eu-
ropean nations to the best portions of

The Trustees of Grand Island, owing to

PNEUMONIA AND ovER-TRAINING.
Much of This Dreaded Disease Caused
by Bad Handling.

The disease most dreaded by trainers
and horsemen generally is pneumonia.

able horses in the land, and has no doubt
robbed many sires of precociouS Young
sters that would have made worldwide
regulations. AS is well known pneu-
monia is disease of the lungs, whereby
the organs of respiration become in
famed. If this Inflammation is not over
come the animal dies, and that quickly.
One of the most prevalent causes of this
disease is over-heating in cold weather

"Well, to me it is the easiest thing in
the world. / never allow my horses to
get hot in cold weather, and on cold, raw
days do not work them at all. / give
them only slow work in winter, but a great

tinued, is, in my opinion, the proper way
to fit horses for race. l am opposed to fast
work, only for short distances. 1t often

KILLING OF DAVID PASSION.

EreSSor.
MEMPHIS (Tenn.), June 12.-The anti
mortem declaration of David PASTOR was
called for this morning in the Criminal
Court, before which Colonel King is on
trial for Paston's murder. In it PASTOR
said that King walked up to him, called
him scurrilous names, and fired imme-
diately.
Colonel King then took the stand and
told different story. He says he met
PASTOR and asked him to withdraw the
charges made against him CKing) and his
wife in the cross bill in the famous
King-Pillow case. He refused, and King
denounced him as a scoundrel. PASTOR
then called King vile names, and, wit
ness asserted, put his hand behind his
overcoat, and witness thinking he had a
pistol, drew his own and fired.
The cross bill III the King-Pillow case
was then read, and King said the whole
thing was Il tissue of falsehoods. The
divorce bill, which was never filed, was
also introduced. 1t professed to be a
copy of the bill written by King, setting
forth that his married life was unhappy,
and had arranged for a marriage with
Mrs. Pillow in the event of divorce be-
ing obtained. King entered denial of

They May be Imported From Abroad
Free Of Duty.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-Assistant Sec
retary Spalding has decided that queen
bees are entitled TO entry free of duty un-
der the tariff provision for animals spe-
cially imported for breeding purposes,
notwithstanding the requirement that the
provision for a certificate of pedigree.
showing pure breed cannot possibly be
complied with in their case. This is in
harmony with the practice under the old
traiff, but is in conflict with the practice
under the present tariff of assessing a
duty on queen bees at rate of 20 Der
cent ad valorem under provision for ami
mails not otherwise provided for The
present ruling is based on representa-
tions that these bees are never imported
for other than breeding purposes, and
that they are always of superior breed.
