The secretary believes that there viii be
cash balance available June 30, 1872, of
about $40, 10000 For the fiscal year end

revenue Of $455, ,338, $50, and expenditures
amounting to SAL ,3OO, ,O93, or an estimated
surplus az Sl4, OF, ,258 The secretary says
there has been an erroneous idea that the
volume Of money in circulation was not only
inadequate to the needs Of the country, but
was very much leas per capita than at tho
close OF the civil war. The amount July /,

The New Tarin Bill.
OF the practical effect Of tho new tariff
law the secretary says. 'The removal Of the
duty on sugar has reduced hs price to the
consumer, and this result is not in conflict
with the doctrine Of protection to home in
dustries because the limited domestic pro-
duction Of sugar was not sufficient TO nfu-
ence the price in the home market Under

revenue has been decreased as far as is con-
sistent. BY the readjustment Of duties in
the line Of protection to American labor
and American industries, the free list has
been enlarged by the addition Of articles
which are not produced profitably nor ex-
tensively in this country; adequate protect
i've duties have been imposed upon articles
that come into competition with our own
productions: new industries have been es-
sablished and others stimulated, thereby
giving increased employment to American
labor, and better control of our home mar
ket to our own people, and the price Of
nearly every article Of common consumption
has been reduced to the consumer"
The Reciprocity Question.
OF the recent reciprocity treaties the sec
retary says:
"The reciprocity clause of the new tariff
is opening new markets and increasing the
demand for our products. The treaty with
Brazil only went into effect April last.
During the six months ending Sept. so, 1890,
our domestic exports 70 Brazil amounted TO
50, 20S, ,s04, and during the same period Of

treaty, amounted to $7,515, ,S5S, an increase

HILLS PLAN OF THEFT.
Trying to Steal New York States
Legislature.
COUNTING IN A DEMOCRAT.
by the Most Barefaced Methods a Clear
Republican Majority of 15S Was Over
turned and the Certificate of Election
Given to His Opponent-Other Frauds.

ALBANY, Nov. 24-The Democrats, un-
der the lead of Gov. Hill are making des-
perate attempts TO steal the New York
Legislature. Yesterday, by the most
bare-faced practice, by throwing out Re
publican and counting as Democratic GER
tain illegal ballots, they declared Osborne
elected in the Fifteenth senate district by
majority of IA.
On the face of the returns Deane, the
Republican candil late had majority of
1853. But Deane has since died, and there
is no one TO make n contest against
Osborne, though Republicans in the dis
trict will undoubtedly carry the case into
the courts to prevent a certificate being
given to a man who was never elected.
Hill will hesitate at nothing to secure
his ends. When the Democratic canvass
ers manufactured plurality for Osborne
the Republican clerk of Duchess county
refused to sign the returns, and the Gov
ernor promptly, and without the shadow
of right removed him from office and put
a subservient Democrat in his place. That
man signed the returns.
The State Board of Canvassers threaten
to refuse certificate to +. ID. Sherwood,
Republican. who was elected in the
Twenty seventh district by 900 majority,
on the ground that he is Ineligible, though
the State constitution expressly declares
that each branch of the Legislature and
no other set of persons shall be the Judge of
the eligibility of its members. IL they
carry out this program and grant GER
ticate OF election TO Serwood's opponent,
as Hill declares they must do, the Senate
will be a tie, with the casting vote in the
hands of the Democratic Lieutenant
Governor
On the face of the returns the Assembly
is tied, but Hill declares that that tied
must be made Democratic so that the
Congressional, Senate and Assembly dis
est of the Democrats With this end in
view Democratic Boards of Supervisors
are endeavoring to count out Republicans
1iready elected in Onondaqa and Duchess
counties. Unless the courts intervene
the Democrats will undoubtedly be sue
cessful

YESTERDAYS CYCLONE.
Greatest Destruction Done in Wash
ington and Baltimore.
THE WHITE HOUSE DAMAGED.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-An electric cy-
clone swept over Washington at 1880
o'clock yesterday, resulting in the loss OF
one life and the injury of several persons.
The only one killed was George White, 45,
a ladies' tailor, whose store was crushed
bv the falling walls of an unfinished music
hall near the corner Of Twelfth and +
streets, Northwest. The persons most ser
iously injured were his daughter Ada, leg
broken; his German apprentice, Clara
Greenberg, Is, badly bruised, and clerk
in the agricultural department Anna
Harkness, 90 was crossing the open
grounds about the department building
and was hurled by the wind against the
iron fence A rod of the fence was bent
by the impact and Miss Hardness was so
seriously hurt internally that she was
taken TO the hospital.
The path of the cyclone was less than a
quarter of mile wide, and il swept clear
from Georgetown TO Capitol Hill. Ii left
in its track a score of unroofed houses
twisted gas lamps, broken windows and
torn tree tops. The aggregate loss must
be large, though scattered in small
amounts. The heaviest loser is George
Metzerott, proprietor of the unfinished
music hall, which was blown down.
The storm was so sudden and furious
that it brought terror and confusion. 1t
lasted only ten minutes, but IL left behind
most exaggerated reports and the greatest
excitement. 1t was at first reported that
twenty men were buried in the wreck OF
Metzerott's music hall, but this proved
happily untrue.
AT the White House portion of the
stone coping of the southern balcony, just
opposite the Treasury Department, was
torn loose and fell TO the courtyard below,
smashing the brick pavement. The flag
statt on top of the White House was
snapped by the wind.
The music hall faced ON Twelfth street,
just west of L. Its front and rear walls
had risen only twenty feet. They were of
brick and were unsupported The plans
were drawn by Architect Fava, son of
Baron Fava, recent Italian minister, and
called, Mr.. Fava says, for an expenditure
in building of $4,000 Mr.. Metzerott,
however, had made a contract for only
81, 900.

A BOYS NOVEL METHOD.
He Devised a Scheme Which Worked
Well on the Housewives.

William Gallagher a youth of scarcely
IA wears, but whose head for business
would indicate that he was much older
and of considerable experience in getting
a livelihood, was arraigned before Judge
Cooke in the District Court this morning,
on the charge of obtaining money under
false pretences.
His method Of doing business was a
novel one. He called on several house
wives and offered potatoes for sale, eX-
planning as reason for calling that the
iady's husband had sent him there. His
youth deceived the women in almost ev
ery instance and he had reaped quite q
harvest from selling potatoes in this way
when the police learned of his methods
and he was arrested.
Lawyer Thomas Murphy defended him
when his case was called for trial in the
District Court this morning and they had
quite little war of words as TO what con-
stituted false pretences." Lawyer Muir
ply succeeded In convincing Judge Cook
that the lad was not obtaining money un-
der false pretences-that he gave good
value in the shape of potatoes for what he
received and the case against young Cal
lagher was dismissed

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
It Will be Held in Minneapolis, Minn.,
on June 7.

WAsHINGToN, Nov 24.-The National
Republican Committee met yesterday in
the banqueting room of the Arlington
Hotel and decided TO hold the next conven-
tion for the nomination of Republican
candidate for the Presidency in Minneapo-
lis. The meeting showed by the disposi-
ton of the various delegations of rival
boomers that James G.. Blaine is the man
for '92. After an executive session was
over, the committee were ready to hear
the claims set forth by the champions of
the competing cities.
NJ III. DeYoung of San Francisco was
one of the first speakers on behalf of that
city. Congressman-elect Campbell of III
linois, member of the national commit
tee, spoke for Chicago.
Ex-Congressman Brewer ex-Congress-
man Allen and Senator Stockbridge spoke
for Detroit.
Committeeman Robert g. Evans handed
in the guarantee entered into by the cities
of Minneapolis and st. Paul, and then
yielded 10 Senator Washburn, who, in
plain, business-like phrases, set forth the
terms of the phenomenal cities with their
100000 inhabitants. While Minneapolis
was not quite as central as Chicago, il was
equally convenient from some of the most
populous sections of the country. If they
could have the convention there the effect
would be most beneficent and beneficial to
the party.
g, w. Johnson, appointment clerk of
the u. ;. Senate, read an address support
ing the claims Of Minneapolis. Gov. Mer-
riam, of Minnesota, cordially supported
the claims of Minneapolis and ST. Paul.
They might not be at all times harmoni-
Gus in their business competition but
when il came to the interests of the Re
publican party they always stood together.
He asked for the convention for its effect
upon the Northwest. I'VE have lost Wis
consin," he said, 1--WE have lost Iowa, we
have lost Nebraska, the two Dakotas are
tinctured with disaffection, and you can
not elect your president unless you redeem
the Northwest"
New York's claims were presented by
Senator Frank Hiscock and Senator Haw-
ley, OF Connecticut. Omaha, Cincinnati,
Pittsburg aud Chattanooga also put in
their claims.
Immediately after all the speeches had
been made the committee went into secret
session at 1910 o'clock at night, and the
balloting was begun. The informal bal
lot: Omaha, 8; Detroit, Minneapolis,
l3 Cincinnati, 4 New York, 81 st. Louis,
/: San Francisco, s; Chattanooga, 4 I;
Pittsburg, 2.
The seventh ballot stood Minneapolis,
90; Cincinnati, Is; New York, 3; San Fran
cisco withdrawn.
Minneapolis will therefore be the meet
ing place of the next convention.
June was agreed upon as the date of
the convention.
The committee elected the Hon. J.. s.
Clarkson chairman in place of NJ. :.
Quay and William Barbour treasurer in
place of w. w. Dudley.

Baltimore's Experience.

BALTIMORE, Nov pa disastrous storm
passed over this city at Ills o'clock yester-
day afternoon. IL came up suddenly and
was over in few seconds, but it left ruin
and wreck in its wake.
In the central portion of the city the
rain poured down in torrents and the wind
blew a gale. The roof of the Maltby build
ing. at the foot of West Falls avenue, was
torn off and dropped thirty feet away
The upper floor OF the structure was oc-
cupied as sail loft by Thomas Gibbons,
who had thirteen men at work at the
time All Of the men escaped unhurt ex-
cept Frederick Lambert, the foreman, :.
+. Mitchell and Howard Yearly. They
were badly cut up.
Yearly's experience was startling one.
He was lifted up bodily and thrown into
the river forty feet below. The debris of
the wrecked roof was falling all around
him as he descended, and heavy piece of
timber struck him as he fell, cutting his
head severely and lacerating his shoulder.
"A passing tug rescued him.
