Tired Of Office.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Should
President Harrison be reelected there
will be at least one of his present cab
met officers who will not serve under
him for another. term. and yet his de-
termination not to continue much
longer in public life in no way reflects
dissatisfaction with his chief. Post
master General Wanamaker has told
one OF his business friends that as soon
as President Harrison is reelected,
and he is confident that he will be re-
elected, he intends to tender his resig-
nation. The postmaster general thinks
he may serve out his entire term, and
indeed he intends so to do, but that it
is his determination not to continue in
public life after March 1. 1898, there
can be no doubt whatever.
There is nothing in a cabinet Of

WASHINGTON, May pa report
upon the case OF young Raum, who re-
signed from the assistant chief clerk
ship of the pension Office, charged
pointments. ETC., has been made by
the civil service commission to the Sec
retaries of the interior and treasury,
and President Harrison has been re-
quested by the president of the COM
mission to ask the attorney general
whether the otfenses charged against
young Raum are punishable under the
statutes. The attorney general has
declined to express an opinion unless
requested TO DO so by President Harri-
son. Further than this turn in affairs
there is nothing new regarding the
status of pension Office affairs. In his
Raum stated that his son was
guiltless of any crime and was
the victim of conspiracy
within the pension Office, and intimated
that an officer above himself (said TO
be Assistant Secretary Bussey) was con-
stitutionally opposed to the manage
ment of the Office and had contributed
to the dissensions therein. The COM
missioner requested the president to
direct Il committee of his own selec-
ton to thoroughly investigate charges
against Green b. Raum, jr., and also
against the commissioner, and stated
that he would be satisfied with the YER
dict The president would naturally
hesitate TO order an investigation Of
this character, as it would not only
impugn the official conduct of an as
sistant secretary of the interior, but
question the official action of the secre-
tary of the interior. The request of
the commissioner goes over till Secre-
tary Noble returns to the city, 1t is
not believed that it will be granted.

The Financial Question.

WAsHINGTON, May 23.-Ihe presi-
len is taking an active interest in the
financial condition OF the treasury, and
has directed that he be furnished with
an estimate Of the probable revenue
from all sources for the next fiscal
year, based on the changes MADE by
the last congress in the customs and
internal yer laws. The result of
the changes are now becoming appar-
ent in the daily receipts OF the treas
ury department. The customs re-
ceipts show q continued falling of, the
receipts from this source for the first
twenty days in May being less at the
port of New York by 81, $50. 933 than
they were for the corresponding period
OF last May. The same ratio of de-
crease is reported at other ports. In
ternal revenue receipts also show a
decrease, but not SO marked. The net
surplus in the treasury, despite the de-
crease in receipts, is crawling up. the
drain from direct tax expenditures

The Internal Revenue.

WASHINGTON. May 23.--Mr. Mason.
commissioner of internal revenue, has
prepared 4 statement showing hal for
the month of April, 1891, receipts
from internal ven decreased as
compared with April, 1890, s., 1907
695. For the ten months ending April
so, the increase in collections of prin-
cipal items compared with the CORES
ponding ten months OF the preceding
year were: spirits. s., 44S, 35S; tobac-
CO. $434, 953; f~ermented liquors, 81
16S, OS4; oleomargarine, $3.50, S45.
Commenting on the decreased receipts
during the last month Commissioner
Mason says: 1T will be noticed that
there is a decrease in the receipts for
special taxes, wholesale and retail liq-
uOr dealers, and manufacturers of
stills for the month OF April of ST.
254. 3S9. in special taxes on brewers
and wholesale and retail dealers of
malt liquors of $l15, 425, and in spe-
cial taxes or manufacturers OF and
wholesale and retail dealers Of oleo-
margarine of $11, $50, making an ag-
gregate loss from these items of ST.
3S1, 694. This is due to the fact that
the last congress changed the special
tax year so as to commence on the 1st
OF July, instead of the 1st of May
collected only two months taxes, from
the 1st of May to the 1st OF July,
instead Of twelve months taxes. The
total amount of special taxes collected
063. Congress, however, has repealed
ali the special taxes relating to cigars
and tobacco, thus taking off 81, 515,-
4S1, leaving a balance of special taxes
which would have been payable the
1st of May, but for this change in the
law, OF s.. S26. 6S2. So that instead
of nearly Sc, 900, 900 being due on the
1st Of May, there was in fact less than
81, 600, 900, and as a considerable part
OF the tax due on the 1st day of May
was paid in April, there was adecrease
in special taxes for May of 81, 3Sl, 694.
This will be made up in the months of
June ana July, when taxes for thenew
fiscal year will be collected. There is
a decrease in the amount collected
from tobacco and snuff as compared
with the amount collected during the
same months OF the last fiscal year.
This is due to the change in reducing
the tax from eight to six cents per
pound. Notwithstanding all these re-
auctions, there is still an increase in
the total amount collected Of s., 399,
4S2 for the ten months ending April
so, 1890. as compared with the same
period of the previous year.

MEXICO, Mo, May 25.-More COM
plete reports from the fearful cyclone
which passed through the country six
miles north OF this city show that the
dead are as follows: Son of John
Doerger, instantly killed and frighful-
ly mangled; Balsam Kunkle, blown
against d wagon and instantly killed;
Homer Rogers, a farmer, killed; John
Crane, a farmer, literally blown to
pieces. The injured are: S. Norris
and wife and two small children, Mrs.
Emily Seal, Miss Addie Seal, Miss

meyer, Mrs William Yostmeyer and
two children. Mr.. and Mrs. Squire
Jarmin, II. H. c. Hunt, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. +. Harrison and two sons.
The storm laid waste the country
for a distance Of more than fifteen
miles and to q breadth of four miles.
AS soon as the report Of the storm
reached here every horse in town was
harnessed and doctors and citizens
started for the scene of the storms raw
ages. Every physician was on the
ground by Z o'clock in the evening and
by 9 o'clock 1000 or ., 900 people were
riding and walking yer the wet ground
of the desolate strip of country.
Hundreds of MANNED and dying an
imals lay about the fields and an occa-
sional kind hearted person fired shot
into the suffering brutes to end their
agonies.
1t was. a bleak picture. Farm houses
that were the pride of the country
roundabout were torn to kindling wood
and for miles the wreckage was strung
along the roads and over the fields.
The killed we're taken to town and the
injured placed in houses outside the
smitten strip.
Frank Carpenters family had a mi
raculous escape. Mr.. Carter was re-
turning home from a neighbours when
he saw the storm approaching. He
hastily got in d ravine and the storm
DdSSeu over ulLu. Ills own mousse was
directly in the path of the cyclone and
his wife and little girl were alone. A
new barn just south of his house was
badly wrecked and the furious ele-
ment whipped around and striking
the house on the north and picking up
the smokehouse drove large portions
of the timoers through the upstairs
hall of the residence and played havoc
generally. The storm then made a
circle within a radius ii fifty yards,
blowing away a portion of the build
ings south and west and others east
and north Of Mr.. Carriers house. Mrs.
Carter retained her composure through
out and escaped unhurt.
In the northwestern part of Adrian
no damage whatever was done by the
cyclone. In fact it seemed to have
gone skyward from d point north of
Centralia to Trinity church, eight
miles due north from Mexico.

Colonel Compton. commandment Of the
fort here, was examined by the court
OF inquiry in regard to the lynching of
Gambler Hunt. He contradicted the
sheriff and prosecuting attorney in
much of their material testimony. He
insists that he took measures
to prevent the outbreak and had
the sheriff made any resistance
he would have been there with a
company to save Hunt from the lynch
ers. About adozen non-commissioned
officers and privates were examined.
They said they did not think because
they were soldiers they had no less
right than q BODY of citizens to lynch
a man who murdered their comrade.

Regarding Mr. Biaine,s Health.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Unusual in
was aroused by the publication of q
lengthy and somewhat sensational dis
patch from this city in the New York
Herald representing the secretary as
being in a rapid decline Of not only
physical. but mental vi~Or, ana pre-
dieting that he would not resume MS
official duties. The publication was
greatly regretted ana sincerely de-
plored IN official circles, as it did Mr..
Blaine injustice ana was Inclined to be
misleading. Secretary Blaine has
Overworked himself. lie has had upon
his hands more veXatiOu5 prOmiems
than have come before the department
of state for very many years. and he
has given too many hours ana too
much of his strength to his WORK. He
has not only not neglected MS duties.
but has been very prompt in dispos-
ing of them. He has as brilliant te-
nacious, vigorous II flexible a mind
as was probably eve found in an over
worked physical composition. He is
not very vigorous IN BODY, but it Is be-
lieved by those who know his cOnGi-
ton best, that with Il few weeks Of
complete rest he will be himself again.
1t is cruelty unjust to even intimate
that Mr.. Blaine is incapatiated from
the performance Of his official duties
by reason of q depression OF physical
strength which effects his mimi. as is
intimated in the New York Herald, or
TO intimate us ii does that his mental
condition is, or has been such Us 20 at
tract the attention of his c~O-iaOorers,
for that is untrue. TO get III the real
facts Il correspondent called upon sew
eral gentlemen who are commonly ac-
copied as Mr.. Blaine's most intimate
friends, and who for this reason know
the real condition Of his mental facul-
ties. They were emphatic in stating
that Mr.. Blaine's mental vigor was
never stronger than it is TO-DAY and
that there is not the slightest weaken
ing in his intellectual grasp.
