Sharks

One Way to Keep Out Mexican Lottery
sharks.
WASHINGTON, April 27.--The lottery COM
panies received black eye at the treasury
department which, it is thought. will have
the effect of driving them out of the busi-
ness. Having been debarred from the
United States mail, branches of lot
terry companies which formerly did
business in the United States have
been established in Mexico. Un-
der the law printed matter from Mex
leo cannot be refused entry, and each
month lottery tickets have been presented
at the custom house along the Mexican
frontier for admission into the United
States.
They have heretofore been admitted
without question, but Assistant Secretary
Spaulding has hit upon novel
plan to prevent their coming
into this country. He has decided
lottery tickets from being admitted as
printed matter, but he instructs the customs
officers to assess duty upon them at the
rate of 70 per cent. ad valorem on their face
value, under paragraph 423, schedule nj, of
the Mckinley bill. which provides for this
rate of duty upon "all printed matter not
especially provided for"
Tickets of the value of $40 under this de-
clsion will have to pay $3.50 customs duty.
This high rate of duty will, it is thought,
practically prohibit their importation. Be-
ing debarred from the United States mails,
from express companies and transportation
difficult to dispose of their wares in the
United States

A Soldier Who Was Buried Thirty Years
Ago Comes Back.
ST. Louis, April 27.-William Newby, of
Mill Shoals, White county, ILL.,, who was
buried in a trench on the battle field of
Shiloh on Monday, April Z, 1862, has sud
denly turned up at his old home in White
county and caused big sensation. For
thirty years the old soldier, whose death
and burial are duly recorded in the war
department archives at Washington. has
been drifting from poor house to poor house
and from insane asylum to insane asylum,
a strange and piteous wreck. He is now
safe with his wife and children, on the very
farm from which he enlisted in 1861. Capt.
Gilbert J. George, of this city, returned
from Mill Shoals, whore, with surviving
comrade, he positively identified Newly as
the same man he buried At Shiloh Newly
was shot through the head. He fell to the
ground just under q tree that stood in line
an orderly sergeant, George saw HIM fall
and marked the spot where he lay. Two
others of his command were with him when
he died few minutes later.
When the burial detail wenU on the field
at night two days after the battle William
Newby's dead body, was found where he
had been seen to fall, and with others he
was buried, Eighteen months ago the poor
old vagrant was admitted to the White
county poor house. He gave his name
as William Newby. He stated that
he had belonged to company D,
t'ortieth Illinois, during the war and
that he hnd enlisted from that
county. One day an official from the poor
house met the youngest son of William
Newby and told him of the strange inmate.
The son saw the man and found that he
was familiar with their home and farm.
Two brothers of the old veteran identified
him and he is now at his old home, The
injury to his head affected his mind and

HOW MUCH IS AvA|LABLE2
Director Leech Says Uncle Sam Has
$358,000,000 Of Ready Cash
Money. ~
He Scouts the Idea of Any Present
or Future Lack Of
Funds.
Why the Secretary May EndeavOr TO Re
fund Maturing Bonds at Two
Per Cent.

WASHINGTON, April 27.--A Star reporter
this afternoon asked the director OF the
mint for an explanation of the statement
made by him that there was an available
cash balance of $35S, 100000 in the Treasury.
Leech says he holds that gold and silver
certificates amounting to S495. 900. 900 repre-
sent trust money, that is, coin that has been
deposited by individuals, and the govern
ment has issued certificates to pay back the
same on demand. Possibly the $1,000, 900
placed with the treasury by national banks
for keeping their currency in good con-
dition is trust money, but as congress has
just ordered the money placed by national
banks for retirement of their circulation to
be covered into the general balance, it
is not difficult to conceive why this is any
more sacred. The remainder of the money
in the treasury, some $358, ,OOO. 600, Leech
holds, belongs absolutely to the govern
ment. Prior to 1886, he says, the available
balance in the treasury was always shown
as the amount of money which actually be-
longs to the government. The 100000, 600
in gold, purchased by the sale of bonds, for
resumption purposes, was always included
as portion of the available balance. prior

should not be. Nor is there any reason
why legal tender notes, issued in the pur-
chase of silver bullion. are any more cur
rent liability than other Rreenbacks. They
are the same class of legal tender money,
They are not silver money as peo-
pie generally suppose. They are issued,
IN the first place, in the purchase of silver
bullion, but as they come back into the
treasury are reissued for all purposes.
The fact that the secretary is anxious to
convert all assets into the most available
form OF money is no indication that there
is any shortage in treasury funds. In ac-
cordance with the act of congress trade
dollars, bullion and subsidiary silver coins
will be recoined as soon as new designs are
decided on. Whether the secretary should
decide to extend the four and half per
cents at the rate of two per cent. would
simply be business proposition. 81
imagine the recent order suspending pur-
chase, and the policy of the secretary re-
garding the four and halfs, arises more
from consideration of the fall of the money
market than any present or anticipated
lack of funds.'

Tho changes in tho borders of the First,

Tho close county Of Waseca was taken
from the Second and given to the First,
and the democratic counties of Sibloy and
Le Sueur were added to the Third, the
republican county of Kandiyohi be-
ing cut from the latter and added to the
Seventh. The present Fourth district
makes the new Fourth and Fifth, Mime

other. This settles the political quarrel
which has been going on between Minne-

BUTTE. April 27.~-[Special. Tho Davis
will case came up in department No. / of
the district court again to-day. Il. W.
Toole and Judge Mcconnell, of Helena,
were present in the interest of Henry A..
| Root, while John A.. Davis was represented
by w. w. Dixon, NJ. J. Kirkpatrick, Judge
Woolworth, of Omaha, and John y. Forbis.
The court aoon contained many spectators,
among whom most of the lawyers of the
city were recognized. The first motion pre-
sented was the matter of the removal of
Jas. A. Talbot rs special administrator.
Owing to the illness of MIR. Talbot the
matter was continued until May H. by con-
sent of counsel. The motion for the re-
moval of John A. Davis, as administrator,
was taken up. A large amount of evidence
was introduced, including the deed exc
cuted by Thomas Jefferson Davis (the Iowa
boy) transferring all his interests in the
estate of John 4. Davis; also the agree
ment entered into by Erwin and John
A. Davis, in which Erwin agrees
to spend not to exceed 100000, and upon
final judgment John A. Davis and the other
heirs are to give him half of their several
shares in the estate, and twenty matters of

estate presented in March,. 1890. Counsel
for John A. Davis answered the petition,
denying the assertion that A. J. Davis left
no will; denying that John A. Davis has
taken no steps towards settling the estate:
asserting that he has had no orde, from the
court to do so; denying that any purchase
of the interest of the Iowa Bcy'' WAS con-
trary to law: admitting that Maria Cum

avering that Henry A. Root has no claim
on the estate; avering that Erwin Davis
has no property in Montana, and that any
attempt to recover Indebtedness from him
would have to begin in New York. At the
conclusion of the argument the court took
the matter under advisement. The motion
for change of venue will be argued to-

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS In AMERICA.
They Should he Made Equal to tho Public
schools.

schools.
ROME. April GA correspondent of the
Associated press to-day had talk with
high ecclesiastical parsonage acquainted
with papal views, on the school question in
the United States. He said in part: "What
seems necessary here from the Catholic
point OF view. is moderation and not pre-
clpitntion. The general course to be pur-
sued, however. is quite manifest. Catho-
llcs IN America should have parochial
schools in all parishes where ii is possible,
and where there ars sufficient means to
render them equal to public schools. Where
1t la impossible to do this schools should be
established in which the cateohism may be
Taught, or the state should bs persuaded to
permit instruction in the catechism outside
OF hours regularly appointed for ordinary
school subjects, as Is done in Germany.
One thing is absolutely obligatory, that is,
TO found no parochal schools unless they
can he put on level with those of the
state. At present Catholics in the United
States cannot rival state schools, as they
have not sufficient resources. The vatican
has confidence in the zeal and tact of the
hierarchy in America.
