BELIEVERS IN wITcHcaAFr.

Residents of an Ohio village Hold Mr..
Cuip cuipabie For Mysterious Dcinxs-
The residents of Hart's Corners a
farming community 10 miles east of
this city, are agog over the doings of a
witch. Several days ago young farm
or named Howard Hughes dug a we'll
upon q small hill, and when he had got
to what he believed to be sufficient
Septh, much to his surprise, no water
appeared. He cogitated upon the mat
ter, and being firm believer in witches
and hobgoblins concluded that some
person had Gust spell upon his land.
Within the limits of this city lives a
DR.. Hon, an octogenarian, who deals in
herbs and claims supernatural powers.
To this strange old man Hughes repair
I'd and hired him to go down to his
place and locate the trouble. Hoff went
with him, and building fire threw
some of his powders into it, and while
the fire burned consulted the spirits
through powwow performance. He
told Hughes that the absence of water
in his we'll was due to neighbor
named Culp, WHO was wizard, with
poisonous breath and an evi! sgye sgye, and
that the we'll would remain dry until
he (Culp) was dead. Since the old
witch doctor revealed this startling in
formation the Hughes and dozen other
families who believe in witchcraft have
ceased all intercourse with Culp and
avoid him as they would the evil one.
The affair has caused such stir that
The matter resolved itself into special
meeting held in the Methodist church
of the village, to which all these people
belong. The Rev. j. e. Hollister of
this city, the pastor of the church, pre-
nded and called upon Hughes and his
followers to disavow witchcraft and
treat Culp as a brother or leave the
church. This they refused to do, and
church trial will result.
Last spring Miss Sadie Loop, men,
Der Of the church, was expelled at
church trial for asserting that Culp was
q wizard, and it was thought at that
time that the ridiculous superstition
had been stamped out.--Alliance (O.)

now In the treasury, which would
amount to $4,000, or probably enough
to make good the threatened treasury
deficit, but with the present coinage
capacities of the government it is doubt
full whether this silver could be coined
into money IN time to be immediately
available. The same difficulty of delay
will rest with any tariff or internal
revenue legislation. What is needed,
say those who dwell upon the condition
of the treasury, is immediate relief.
The proposition to coin the seignor-
age. if it should be taken into congress,
would meet with very Stubborn opposi-
ton, probably from both the extreme
gold men and extreme silver men as
we'll. The former claim that such a
proceeding will weaken the securities
of the silver notes, and the latter would
recognize in the move desire TO ap-
pear to recognize silver without giving
any substantial encouragement to silver
mining. Many of them would also take
advantage of any opportunity to thwart
the administration because of its gen.
eral policy towards the white metal.

New Rule to Carlisle.

Commissioner Miller Submits the
: New Rule to Carlisle.
4 WASHINGTON, Nov. %. - The new
regulations for the, issuance of certifi
Gates of residence to Chinese under the
provisions of amendatory act recently
approved by congress have been SUBJ
mitted to Secretary Carlisle by Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Miller.
According to its provisions Chinaman,
in an affidavit, must swear that he has
never committed felony in the United
States, and this fact must also be testI-
fed to by white witness. A photo
graph of the applicant must be attached
to the affidavit, and two other like
nesseS must be transmitted to the
collector of internal revenue and
the treasury department. Collectors of
internal revenue and their deputies are
instructed that all classes of skilled and
unSkIlled manual labOrerS, including
Chinese employed in mining, fishing,
huckstering, laundrying, peddling, shall
be classified as laborers. A person to
be exempted from the operations of this
law must be engaged in buying and
selling merchandise at fixed place of
business, which business is conducted
in his name, and who, during the time
he claims to be engaged aS a merchant,
does not engage in the performance of
any manual labor except such as is nee
eSSary in the conduct of his business as
such merchant. The paragraph in the
old regulation eXemptlng persons from
the operations of the law who are own
er5 or part owners of mercantile eS-
tabliShment Is stricken out.

internal revenue was closeted all day
III the speakers room preparing the
separate bill which is to deal with the
internal revenue schedules and the in
come tax provision. 1t has been def
nitely decided by the full committee
that the income tax plan shall be
adopted as part of the new revenue
system, and the details of the plan are
to be perfected bv Messrs McMillin,
Bryan and Montgomery.
The changes in the internal revenue
schedule contemplate an increase of 10
cents per gallon on the whisky tax and
some slight notifications of the tobacco
tax. Several hundred petitions today
inundated the committee from tobacco
manufacturers of the United States,
asking that the Mckinley tariff import
duty of 81 per pound on leaf tobacco
suitable for wrappers be repealed, and
duty of So cents per bushel be imposed
on all leaf tobacco. The memorial says:
1.-The 50 duty on leaf tobacco suitable
for wrappers, imposed for the first time
in the tariff history of the United States
by the so-called Mckinley act of 1890,
has increased the expense of manufac-
turing thousand cigars by SIS. The
cigars smoked by the masses are retailed
either at cents or 10 cents apiece. On
these prices. which have become cur
rent custom since the establishment of
a domestic cigar industry, the consumer
will not stand any raise. The manu-
facturers cannot bear themselves the
increased expense of SIS on 1000 cigars,
as it would wipe out not only their own
profit, but also cause them an actual loss
on certain grades"
1t appears to be the intention of the
committee to reduce the duty from S2
to about 81 per pound.

ways and means committee tomorrow

n Demand Is M.ide for the I'M
peachment OF the Cabinet.
ROME, Nov. 23.-The chamber of dep
uties reopened today. The house was
crowded. and there was more than the
usual amount of excitement. Besides
the cabinet ministers aud the prominent
leaders present were SignOrs Crispi and
Nicotera, and the Marquis di Rudinl.
The first incident of the session was
an attack upon the government by Sgr.
fmbriani, the Radical leader. As soon
began violent speech, in which he
charged the ministry with leading Italy
upon the road to ruin, and offered to
support any motion whose object was
the impeachment of the cabinet.
After formal business had been dis
posed of and the governments bills in
relation to the progressive income tax
and the reform of the succession and
legacy duties had been introduced,
President Zanardelli announced that
the bank commission had handed in
its report in sealed packet. A short
debate was ordered, and then the cham
ber eagerly awaited the reading of the
Briefly the report says that the COM
nilsson had no documentary evidency of
political simony in the relations OF the
bank with the government, but there
had been a systematic disregard of
order and regularity in the action
of the government towards the
banks since 1880. The commits
sion expresses strong disapproval
of the concealmeDt of substantial por-
tion of Biagni's report on the Banca
Romano and animadyerts upon the fact
that some Of TanloGgo's seized papers
were withheld from the magistrates
who were deputed 10 conduct an inquiry
into the criminal aspects of the bank
scandals. The report concluded:
''ltaly is passing through a period of
great difficulty, but she will emerge un-
scathed and glorious"
The reading of the report produced
deep impression upon the chamber.
When it was finished several members
of the Extreme Left started to their feet
and requested permission to speak. The
president refused to permit any dis
cussion, however, and declared the sit
ting closed amid misses, protests and
general uproar.

GREAT WESTERN FIRM.
It Will Not Go In on the Emigrant
agreement.


CHICAGO, Nov. %. = The Chicago
Great Western is still hanging out OH
the emlgrant agreement, and although
every inducement has been made to
bring 1T into line, it cannot he moved
from its position. The meeting of the
western Passenger association today
resolved it itself into an attempt to
bring the reluctant road around. 1t
was offered a guarantee of one-SlXth of
all the emigrant business to ST. Paul
and points west of that city, and all
equal share of the same business with
all the Missouri river roads, but it would
have none of il. It's chief objection to
the agreement is the extra expense con-
nected with the organization and op-
Grafton of the pool. IL believes it
can do as much business outside the
agreement as within it, and at less eX-
penSe. The meeting of general pas
senger agents was utterly unable to
make any progress with the Chicago
Great Western officials. and as last re-
sort turned the matter over 10 their
general managers, who will now at
tempt what their SuO0rdinateS have
failed to accomplish.

Beginning next Sunday the Baltimore

The Western classification committee.
composed OF the chief freight officers of
all theWeStern roads, is in session at the
Grand Pacific hotel today. 1t is the
semi-annual meeting of the committee,
the object of which is to revise the

changes and additions that have been
put into effect during the last six
months. Chairman Ripley announces
that many additions will be embodied
in the revised list.

MILITARY SCANDAL.
Inadequate Clothing of the Brit.
ish Soldiers During the Winter.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-There is much
agitation in military and other circles
here regarding what the st. James Ga
Zette calls ''a military scandal" and re-
fers to the alleged inadequate clothing
of British soldiers during the wintry
weather. This stir has been created by
the publication of the fact that two
soldiers perished near Portsmouth dur
ing the recent storm. The two soldiers
referred to died from exposure on Sun
day night while attempting to walk
across hill to their barracks. 1t now
appears that these two men had Just
returned from Alden. and that they
were attired in light tropical uniform,
and that they had no overcoats.
Lord WemvsS, who is an authority on
all military matters, had written a letter
to the Times. making an energetic pro-
test against the inadequate clothing of
the soldiers. Referring TO these half
clothed sentries,' he says that he saw
men, when he was wrapped up in fur
coat, clad in the same uniform that they
wear in the height of summer, and he
concludes with the remark, "Surely
somebody ought to be hanged for this
criminal treatment of soldiers" 1t is
expected that several questions on this
subject will be asked in parliament.
