WAsH1NEToN, March 19.-The larg-
esJ item i'm the river and harbor bill, as
completed, is in round figures $4,000.00O
for. the various Mississippi river I'M
proyements from st. Paul to the mouth.
OF this amount s2,5O0.000, approx
mateIy, is for work from Cairo down.
The deep water great lakes project and
the Savannah harbor deep water project,
are both provided for in the bill, and
hatf million dollass are allowed Tor
each project. The Mississippi river,
Savannah and Great lakes deep water
improvements. it is stated tonight, are
all to be performed under contract
made to insure thes continuance and
completion of the work. The Great
Lakes twenty-one-foot channel scheme
gets $500, 600 for the coming year. The
Hudson river improvement appropria-
ton amounts to 100000.
The committee adopted the contract
system to more general extent than
heretofore, it being found that this
method reduces the cost considerably
below what II would be under the sys-
TEN of depending on the river and har-
bor bill before additional work could be
undertaken. The aggregate OF the Dill
is in excess of S20.00O,0oO, including
work authorized to be contracted for
and only partially appropriated Tor IN
this bill.

POWER OF SUPERSTITION.
Bodies of Dead People ExhfIfned
for q Strange Reason.


PROVIDENCE, Il. I.,March ia hor-
rible superstition was put to test in Ex-
eter yesterday. The wife of George L.
Brown of that town died OF c0nsump-
ton about eight years ago. Six years.
ago the oldest daughter succumbed toI
the same disease, leaving the other
members of the family in apparently
good health. Shortly after a..son was
taken sick, and went to Colorado abouti
eighteen months ago with the hope OF
recovering his health. During his, alb
sence the past winter another daughter.
Mercy Lena, passed away after few
months of sickness. A few weeks ago
the son came back to Rhode Island, and
is now critically i'll. s4xlsssissg
Since that time Mr.. Brown has been
besieged by number of people, who
expressed implicit faith in the old
theory that in some part of the Bodies
of the deceased relatives live flesh and
blood might be found, which is sup
posed to feed upon the living who are
in feeble health. MI. Brown did not
place much confidence in the old-time
theory, and resisted their opportunities
until yesterday afternoon. when the
bodies were exhumedsand an examina-
ton had. Nothing but skeletons were
found of the bodies of the wife and old
est daughter, and after examination of
the body of Mercy Lena, which was
buried nine weeks ago, the doctor re-
ported the body in state OF natural de-
composition. When the heart and liver
were removed a quantity of blood
dripped from them, but the doctor said
this was nothing unusual. The heart
and liver were cremated and the bodies

man Of the evening. and he was to have
presented the trophy on behalf OF the

engagement. That is, it was unfortu-
nate in the sense that all had
Il right to expect something
pretty from this orator and devotee of
the magnificent sport-bOwling. His
substitute, however, acquitted himself
with credit. Without a moments no
tice and utterly without preparation,
WI. Romans. the attorney, kindly ac-
cepted the task. Taking the emblem in
his hand he repaired to the bowling
alley. and in a handsome and compli-
mentary speech rendered the trophy to
Capt. Wall. He paid an eloquent tribute
to the prOweSS Of the Nushka club that
had wrested championship h0nors from
the other eight candidates for the badge,
and he compimented the enterprise of
the DAILY GLOBE tor encouraging
manly and healthfHl sports by giving
healthful prizes to compete for, and he
spoke Of the successful management OF
Tom Foley, regretting his absence from
the city on such an eventful night.
Mr.. Wall, in receiving the emblem,
first thanked Mr.. Romans for his elo-
Quent praise of the proves of the
Nushka club. He explained that the
true athlete appreciates the potency OF
training, and the team went into faith
full and conscientious practice, and is
proud of the victory achieved. He had
kind word of thanks for the DAILY
GLOBE for donating the emblem
and for renewing interest in one
of the most healthful of all anna
teur sports, and he concluded by
thanking all the other participants
in the tournaments for contributing
to the amenities of the tournament,
and he sincerely hoped the challenge
games that are TO ersue will be cnarac-
terized by the same sort of pleasurable
meetings that has formed a conspicuous
feature of the GLOBE tournament
proper. He also predicted another pro-
nounced success for the DAILY GLOBES
state tournament. which will succeed

were more than exceeded. Eight of the
clubs were there, filled with zeal and

CREDITORS STOOD OFF.
National Treasury Officials Delay
ing PAYMENTS


ing Payments.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-There is
unmistakable evidence that a tacit
agreement exists between the army and
navy departments and the treasury that
all bills shall be held back. am told
that there is nearly $l,000,000 due the
Cramps for building new cruisers and
that they are only able to get the money
in driblets. A gentleman who is not
connected with the company says that
although the vouchers have been
promptly audited they were held back
and the money can not be obtained from.
the treasury at present.
From another source it is learned that
the agent for supply company pre-
scented a bill for few thousand dollars
early last month. Previous bills of the
same kind had been honored within a
few days time. There was nothing
wrong about this one, and. becoming
exasperated, the agent asked today to
have il marked Especial" as had been
done before. He was told that
the secretary of the navy had
given orders that no bills
shall hereafter be marked special"
and had intimated that about as much
time as possible should be taken on the
examining of claims. The agent quietly
said: ''If l don't get my warrant on the
treasury | will have resolution intro
duced in the house inquiring into the
reason for the delay" be got the war
rant.
1t is difficult for the treasury to meet
THE bills presented by the various de-
partments, and every artlfice is being
rasorfpd m In stand off the creditors as
long as possible.
NEW York, March 19.-Secretary Eos
ter was seen this afternoon in reference
to the assertion that payment of money
was being withheld owing to the exami-
nation of the treasury surplus, and that
there was danger that the reserve of
Sl00, O00, 600 in gold would have TO he
drawn OH to tide over the present emer-
gency.
The secretary said: ut is an old story,
and it is no nearer correct now than
when it was first told. While it is not
the policy of the present administration
to have locked up in the treasury
large amount Of money which should
be circulating among the people, yet
there are ample funds to meet all
obligations. They are being met,
and the business of paying salar-
les and claims is being expedited
as rapidly as possible. There are so
many departments for which money has
been discussed that it is impossible for
every one to be paid on the same day,
but there is no unusual delay. The
treasury is in healthy condition. and
there is no ground for any fear that the
government cannot meet all its obliga-
tons promptly"

NATURAL GAS FAILS. sw
Indiana Manufacturers Fearful of
the Results.

Fort WAYNE, Ind, March 19.-The
closing down Of the big window glass
factory at SpiceIand, Ind, yesterday be-
cause OF total failure of its natural
gas supply, renders the manufacturers
in other portions of the Indiana gas belt
apprehensive lest similar fate is in
store for them. The supply of gas at
Spiceland, which is on the eastern edge
of the belt, has been falling gradually.
and efforts were made TO increase the
pressure by drilling wells. but these lat
ter failed to bring about the desired re-
suit, and the shut down was made i'm
peratiye. About 800 workmen are af-
fected by the closing OF the works. and
the blow is serious one to the little
city.
