For def aging expenses under the Budgettor
the Municipality of St. Croja for the Financial
Year from LIST Aprit 1894 to 3Ist March 1895
the foHo2cing amounts are hercby granted:

No amendments had been proposed. No

The Money BIZ for $3.50 was put to vote
and rejected with 10 votes against !.
The Gocernor According to s 81 of the
Colonial Law | protest against that vote. 1t
will be impossible to have the business Of the
Governments Office discharged, if the
amounts necessary for paying writers and
messengers, and for buying stationery etc.
as these amounts appear in the Money Bill, be
not granted and l will therefore have to
recommend to the Ministry and His Majesty
that the amount now voted out, be replaced in
the Budget for the Municipality.
Ord Member for FrederikSted's Country
District (HepUD. After His Excellency's
protest it will be necessary to see what has
preceded the vote. From what transpired
in the Councils last Meeting it would already
he clearly UNDERSTOOD why TINS COuHclI can
not vote this Budget, at least not in its present
form and condition. There might be a great
number of Money Bills for sums necessary
for the Administratio and which can not be
done without but on the other hand there
is no utility in the Council passing any grant,
as this can be dispensed with in most cases
under the present system moreover a reor-
ganisatiOn Of the Administration must come
sooner or later; but as things are now, we
have no means or ways, and can find no
means and ways to meet the heavy expenses.
Government has made no notice as to how the
differe nee between the yearly income and
the yearly expense of the colony is to be
removed, and certainly then, it can not be
expected that the Members shall stand up and
vote according to orders but blindly. The
Government has now again protested against
the Councils vote on a money Bill submitted
for the Councils vote but it should not be
expected that men shall only vote for mea-
sures and never against, even though their
opinions and convictions go against. But
the result of The vote just given will show
His ExcellenCy that 1t is the intention of the
Colonial Council not to vote this Budget, but
to reject all the Money Bills.

THE SOUTH ALL RIGHT.

While cotton has brought less this year than last, it must be remembered that the crop is much larger, and the total amount received from the sale of cotton will be about $500, ,000. .000, the same as last year. Money will buy more now than year ago, and the South is richer today from the sale of its cotton than it was year ago. By next Christmas there will be still larger number of cotton mills in the South
 Last year Southern mills consumed about half as much cotton as New England mills. The South produces about 60 per cent of the worlds cotton crop, but 1t has only B. 600, GOO spindles out of total of St, ,OCO, 600 in the world. This country has about 15, GOO, coo srindles, but as the South at present. produces only coarse goods, the average consumption of cotton per spindle is larger than where finer goods are made.
 Furnishing the raw material for more than one- half of the cotton spndies of the world, the South is no longer content 10

 THE CBANUCKA BALL

AT Y. M. H. A. HALL LAST NIGHT GRAND
 AFFAIR-A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.
 The dance of little children at the Young Mems Hebrew association hall last night was scene that would please most any person, even those who are hardest to please.
 Sixty children, some of them as young as three years, all dressed in the most stylish costumes, opened the ball with march, which was led by little Misses Jeanette Benjamin and Carrie Seigel. It was beaut1- fu sight, , and the older people, who were on- lockers, were delighted with it as much as were those who participated. For chil- dren the ages of those who took part the march was something out of the ordinary. Every child in it was pleased, as was eVl- dent by the numerous smiles, and some of them were almost tiekled to death. After the march the children iudulged in waltzes and polkas for about an hour, when they resigned the floor to the young ladies and gentlemen, who kept up the programme until early this morning.
 splendid band was on hand and added to the delightfulness of the occasion. In all about 200 people were in attendance, and the Chanucka ball was a departure which was praised by all. Refreshments were served for the benefit of Temple Emanuel and a handsome sum was realized.
 The ladies were highly pleased with the financial outcome, as well as the pleasure attendant upon the occasion.

ship its cotton in It's raw form. Manu- factured at home 1t would be worth an- nually more than S1 ,OOO, ,OOO. .0Oo. instead of $500, GOO, ,000 as now. Such an industry as this alone would revolutionizs the South. It would furnish employment for hundreds of thousands of hands and create wealth on a greater scale than any other man ufac- turing interest has ever done.
 Because of these facts, the realization by New England of the South's destiny as the coming cotton manufacturing center, bringing about co operation of local and outside men and money in the great devel- opment of this industry, becomes matter of more than national concern. Even Great Britain, now having one half of the cotton spindlss in the world, must soon see that it has reached the limit of growth in this industry, and that herceforth progress in this liae will be in the South.

A NOTED STRUCTURE,
ONCE oEoReIA's CAPITOL, RUINED BY
 FIRE-THE LOSSES.

ONCE oEoRGIA's CAPITOL, RUINED BY
 FIRE-THE LOSSES.
 ATLANTA, Dec. 27.--The old capitol, now an office building, was ablaze for two hours this morning and the damage cannot be repaired for less than S60, 900. This in- cludes losses on office furniture and on stocks of drugs and paints.
 Without doubt it was an incendiary fire. When the firemen reached the upper part of the building they found the fourth aud fifth stories filled with gas. They turned off more than 100 jets from which gas WAS escaping. A high wind was blowing and swept clouds of sparks for blocks, endsngering millions of property. The fire burned furiously this time tue third, fourth and fifth stories on the west wing were burned out. The whole roof was practically burned off. Fifteen lines of hose playing on the fire flooded the luilding and filled the basement to n del h of Eject.
 Venable Bros., who own the building, lose S30 ,000. The Masonic lodge and the Knights 1emplar lost all their parapher- nalia. Joseph Jacobs, the druggist, loses Tripod Paint company loses $7090 on stock. Twenty other ants of the building lose from S300 to $10 0 ol furniture and office fixtures. Venaple Bros. have Sl25, 900 ln- surance on the property. The building looks to b unsafe.
 The inspectors condemned the building tonight. Three fourths of it must be torn down. The capitol has long been consid- cred unsafe. Ropes are stretched across line. Cars are not allowed to pass the

POLICEMAN BOB VAIL,

AFTER TELLING THE LEXOw COMMITTEE
 WHAT HE KNEW, ASKED TO BE RE- LEVIED.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Policeman k. J. Vail, formerly detective under Captain Schmittberger in the steamboat squad, who gave so much damaging evidence against Schmittberger before the Laxow committee, has filed an application for re- tirement with the police commissioners. Vail was one of the Lexow committee wit nesses. Ia a measure his testimony had something to do with bringing about a confession from Captain Sch mittberger. Vail told the committee that while he was a detective in the steamboat squad he col lected $3000 blackmail for Sch mttberger. Vail also told his story to the grand jury. He has been on the force since August g, 1873. His application will come before the police board at it's meeting tomorrow.

CHARLEsToN's RESIDENCES.

Julian Ralph, writing in Harper's for January of Charleston, s. C., says it's own citizens love to speak of it as told and mellow" It Is very beautiful, very dig nified and proud, and the cleanest city in America. It is unlike any other city, ex cept New Orleans. The most peculiar fea- ture of Charleston is the arrangement of its houses, which, as rule, are built sidewise on the streets, with the end of each dwell ing toward the pavement. This has been done to provide for either a southern or western prospect from the galleries, or "piazzas, '' as they call them, with which each house is prettily and invitingly adorned. Because of this method of build ing the entrances, which, without know ing better, we would take to be the front doors, in reality admit the members of each household either to the end of the lower porch or into the garden, the true main doorway being on the side of the house. Full enjoyment of the gardens is thus combined with privacy; and though one may get only glimpses of these little preserves from the streets, strong hints of their prettip esses are often carried up to the lofty balconies in the forms of vines and potted plants, like extensions of the gardens, the which whoever runs may en- joy.

REtIpRocI1Y HuMBUG.

The trouble that the United States is having with Spain and Germany over the tariff seems to have it's origin in Blaine's reciprocity humbug. Because the Demo- cratic tariff law has placed duty on raw sugar Spain retaliates by putting her maximum duty on American imports at all Spanish and Cuban ports. This forces tho United States to retaliatory measures, and the Cubans are the sufferers for it. The Cubans get their flour from us, and they already pay high price for it. The pros- pect is that if the Cubans are forced to pay more for their flour than at present they will let the Spanish government hear from them.
 The Nashville Banner comments as fol- lows on the subject:
 The whole matter has come of that mis- chteyous humbug, the reciprocity clause of the Mckinley bill, which was the stamp of the influence of the late Hon. James G. Blaine on the measure. Before that law let Cuban sugar into American ports free con siderably higher duty than that levied under the present law was imposed, but Spain hav- ing for few years enjoyed the privilege or free sugar now takes umbrage because a slight revenue duty is placed on that com modify,
 How clearly unjust is the Spanish com plaint on this score is hown by the fact that all flour imported into Cuba must pay duty of S4 barrel, while that from the United States, under the present retaliatory arrange ment, must pay $4 10 per barrel. Spain has never given us free importation of flour. but tries to force her sugar into this country free by discriminating tariffs.
 The trouble with Germany and Denmark came from the same source. These countries have shut out American meats on alleged sanitary grounds while the real reason of such exclusion is well understood to be the new sugar duty in this country which imposes a differential on sugar from those countries that pay an export bounty. The complaint of Germany and Denmark ought to appease spain, as this differenta is in her favor. All the trouble has come of Mir. Blaine humbug reciprocity, and would never have been heard of if a simple revenue tariff on sugar had been maintained all the time, was proper.

TESTED THE NEW FIRE HOSE.

Chief Mullin and the fire department boys made a test yesterday of the 4000 feet of hose recently purchased by the city. Two thousand feet of the hose were tested at the Southside department with steamer No. 2, and the pressure carried was be- tween 275 and 290 pounds to the square inch. The other 2000 feet were tested by steamer No. 1sat the Northside depart ment in the afternoon.
 The hose is 25 inches in diameter and is guaranteed to stand pressure of 400 pounds to the square inch, but that much pressure cannot be gotten with the third class engines that are used here. Both Southside and Northside steamers are linn ited to carry 300 pounds pressure to the square inch. Out of the entire lot only one section was found defective. With this section water burst from it at pres. sure of 280 hounds

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World Fair Highest Medaland Diploma.
No DECISION ARRIVED AT.

Mayor VanHoose and Chairman McCar- tin and Alderman Jones of the police and sanitation committee held conference in the mayors office yesterday afternoon with committee from the United Chari. ties. The committee of ladies consisted of Mrs. Billheimer, Mrs. Smith and Miss Bissett.
 The ladies of the United Charities have asked the city to give them the contract for removing the garbage and operating the crematory. Their petition was read before the city council at the called meeting Wednesday night and the matter referred to the police and sanitation committee, with instructions to investigate and report back.
 At the meeting yesterday afternoon the matter was discussed at some length. Nothing definite, however, was done, and until a further conference no report will be made by the committee to the council.
