More Alleged Errors.

New York, Aug. ga special from
Washington says: In addition to the
long list of errors found in the German
tariff bill, the surprising discovery has
been made by treasury department
officials that no appropriation has been
made for putting into effect the income.
provisions. The collector of internal
revenue can do nothing under these cir
cumstances in the direction of prepar-
ing to collect the tax. The treasury
officials claim to be blameless, for they
forwarded a request to the appropria-
ton committee more than a month ago
for an initial appropriation of 100000
to be used during the current fiscal
year in carrying out the income tax
provisions of the tariff bill, if it should
become a law. Whether by accident
or design, neither the House nor the
Senate appropriation committees paid
any attention to Secretary Carlisle's
estimate Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Miller is hopeful that when
the houses reassemble in December the
amount of his estimate will be included
in the urgent deficiency appropriation
bill, SO that the administration of the
new law will be made possible.

blue GRASS ROMANCE.

Jacksonville, Ind, Aug. 22.-William
E. Minor and Miss Annie E. Singleton,
of Turner station, KY, eloped to this
city last night and were married by
Magistrate Keegwin. They were accom-
panied by A. C. Kelly, of New Castle,
and Miss Glass, of Turner, who acted as
attendants at the wedding. During the
wedding Kelly and Miss Glass were
seized with mutual infatuation coupled
with a strong inclination to become one.
The only impeachment in the way to their
union was the fact that Miss Class had
already promised her hand in marriage
to a man residing at Turner, station
and the wedding was announced Tor to-
day. Miss Skinner was in dilemma.
She averred if she married the man
from Turner she could never love him:
The question was thoroughly canvassed
among themselves Miss Skinner decid-
ed to give up the man from Turner and
marry Kelly He at one time was her
beau ideal but on account of Miss
GLASS; parents disliking him he was not
permitted to enter the Class family No
trouble was experienced in getting the
license and the couple We're united in
wedlock after with the quartette left for
their homes. The parties to the sudden
marriage are members of Kentucky S
first families.

To Correct Errors.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Before tele-
graphing for absentees today, the Dem
ocratic leaders made an especial appeal
to the Republicans to permit the bill
to correct the errors with reference to
alcohol to go through without objec-
ton in the absence of a quorum 1t
appears, however. that Senator Chand-
Ter, when he went away, left behind
him a request that the bill should not
be taken up in his absence, and the
Republican senators are guarding his
request. The Democratic senators now
threaten to retaliate by taking up the
supplemental tariff bills and trying to
pass them in case they succeed in get
ting quorum, but they realize there
are many difficulties in the way Of put
ting such a programme into effect, and
did not, at the meeting today, resolve
upon any definite action beyond exert
ing themselves to the utmost to secure

AS soon as the tariff bill goes into
operation, the receipts from this source
are expected to drop down to merely
nominal amount, and so continue some
months, until the new supply now being
laid in is exhausted. These abnormal
receipts have swelled the cash balance or
the treasury to nearly Sl2l. 100000. At the
same time the gold reserve. is slowly IN
creasing, until it has now reached about
$54, 100000. This increase is due almost
entirely to the western demand for small
notes with which to harvest the crops.

only for gold and very substantial sums

1t Was a Political Lie.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The legislative
and engrossing clerks of the Senate
have been comparing the statement of
errors in the new tariff bill made in
various papers today, and say there
are only three errors that need to give
officers of the treasury any concern.
These are the paragraphs relating to
free admission of alcohol in the arts;
the diamond schedule and perhaps the
omission Of q, period in the paragraph
relating to stamping foreign manufae-
lures.
Even in the case. Of diamonds they
believe the construction placed will be
that intended by Congress, and they
will pay the duty imposed on precious
stones.
AS to the other errors enumerated.
it is claimed by these clerks that by
no system of construction can the al
legged mistakes in punctuation be made
to either impose higher duties or allow

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Several witnesses,
examined by the strike commission to-
day, gave testimony favorable to the
Pullman company.
Frank w. Glover. real estate agent,
said he considered the Pullman hou-
ses at from SIS and $40 a month really
cheaper that the $12 month houses in
the surrounding towns.
Paul E. Herms. a news e1ealer, who
formerly worked in the Pullman shops,
said the trouble of their men was
largely due to their fondness of beer.
All the saloon keepers in the surround
ing towns had grown rich. He did not
believe the Pullman rents unusually
high.
T. H. Johnson, a Pullman furniture
dealer, testified that the store room
rents in the town had been cut, though
no reduction had been made in the
resident rentals.

the commission has concluded its in
quiry into the strike from the side of
the employees and will now hear the
statements of public officials and
those who wish to testify on the part
of the employers.
Mayor Hopkins, Chief of Police
Brennan. Fire Chief Sweeney and
other city officials have been summon
ed. and Governor Altgeld will proba-
bly, be called upon. The commission
ers refuse to say whether or not Mr.
Pullman will testify.
He Had No Complaints.
Alexander Lundgren, an employee of
the Pullman company for the last thir-
teen years, was the first to take the
witness chair in the afternoon. He said
in alb his years of service for the COM
pany he had no complaint to make as
to wages or treatment. He had advised
against the strike, although he was a
member of the union, and had gone
back to work when the opportunity Of
fered, surrendering his membership in
the union and signing contract to
keep out of it.
I'VE drew large wages for the first
seven or eight years. he said "and did
well. A year ago in June 1 was max

Preparing For tue Bill.

Washington, Aug. %. = Preparations
for carrying into effect the new tariff
bill are going forward at the treasury
department with all possible speed.
Secretary Carlisle has already prepared
a blank form of license for customs
house brokers, provided for in the bill,
and it is now in the hands of the
printer.
Several clerks are hard at work pre-
pairing an index for the new tariff.
The tariff volume will be for the con-
venience of customs officials, will con-
tain both the new law and the McKin-

MOSQUITOES HOLD THE FORT.

Baltimore, Nd, Aug. 22.-Mosquitoes
have taken possession of the towns along
the eastern shore of the Chesapeake lay
in Maryland. Millions of the little pets
settled down upon the citizens of Criswald
and Centerville, and day and night they
have .swarmed in clouds over these towns.
At night they are so thick about the
street lamps as to obscure the lights. Men
at work about the wharvss wear mosquito
netting attached to their broad-brimmed
hats and falling over their shoulders. Two
children who wandered off in the low
lands back of Criswald were nearly stung
to death. Their faces and arms were COW
cred with bites. Railroad trains on the
peninsula run through clouds of the in
sects, which swarm into the cars and
nearly drive the passengers frantic; A
number of summer boarding houses have
Ibeen compelled to close on account of the
pests. The Maryland mosquito is larger
and more numerous this season than for
twenty wears.

HIRST is ALL RIGHT.
The Charges Against Him Were Ma
Iicious, and He Comes Out OF the


Hcious, and He Comes Out OF the
Trial Without "a Stain on His
Character.
San Francisco, Aug. 22.-Rev A. c.
Hirst, president of the University of
the Pacific and a pastor of the Memoir
ial Episcopal church, in this city, has
been cleared by the ecclesiastical
court of the charges of gross immor-
atty PREFER ed against him by S. Rog-
ers The verdict of the court is as
follows:
1--WE. the committee of investigation,
to whom was submitted the accusa-
tons. against the moral character of
Rev. A. c. Hirst by one S. Rogers, find
them maliciously and absolutely false.
After a most careful examination of
the testimony it is our judgment that
the charges have their origin in a
wicked conspiracy to defame the char
acter of the accused, and there is no
evidence in the case that even re-
motely compromises or reflects on DR..
Hirst as n Christian gentleman or
minister of the gospel, and he comes
out of this investigation without the
slightest STAIN
| The charges against Dr. Hirst, who
lis one of the leading ministers of the
Pacific coast. were of such a scandal
GUS nature that they created a great
sensation. Rogers, who claims to be
minister, had letters of recommen-
dalton from a number of English bish-
! OPS and today these were proved to
be forgeries.
Rogers induced several boys to make
the charges against DR. Hirst, and one
of them. a boy named Bidwell, is said
| to have been implicated in the Cleve-
land street scandal in London a few
years ago. Today Rogers was de-
nounced before the committee by his
counsel. who gave up his case
DR.. Hirst will. probably prosecute
Rogers in the criminal court for black
mail.
