Like thief with stolen goods, when the
governor was caught with the pass he

Senator Butler then took up the dis
pensary question and showed by the
official hgures than instead of the state
being ahead in the business it was about
$4,000 in arrears.
CONGRESS NOT CORRUPT.
He then took up Gov. Tillman's charge
that congress is bought and the senator

But he is perpetrating a deliber-

There is general thankfulness that

WHY THE JAPANESE mouRNED
1t Was What Makes Countless Thou
sands Mourn.

Washington, June 20.-A good story on
the Japanese legation has recently been
told. 1t seems that the gas collector on
the first of the month left the company's
bill at the Japanese legation. It was
printed on the conventional gas paper
which IS yellow, which is also the color of
Japanese mourning 1t was presented
very formally at the door of the
legation and the oriental valet at
once took il to the council
chamber, where the members of the
legation were sitting in solemn conclave
over some state matter. There was no
interpreter present, and there was no
way of finding out what the formal print
ing on the yellow paper meant. They at
once concluded that the President, or
one Of his cabinet, had died, and this was
an ofticial announcement for the embas-
sy. According to TIE custom of the
Japanese, they closed all windows,
darkened the house, and proceeded
TO their custom of wailing and
and mourning, as is required of them
household. The neighbors heard the dis
NAL walls within, and finally IL was re-
ported that a great grief had overtaken
the Japanese headquarters The ubiqui-
tous Thurber at once dispatched O mes
senger from the white house TO see what
was amiss. It was after eight hours of
lamentation when the members of the lega-
tion We're utterly prostrate from exhaus-
tlon when they were made to understand
that they had only been mourning over
gas b1ll-a thing which the majority of
Americans do monthly, but not in such a
serious fashion.

UNCLE SANS CASH ACCOUNT.
The Expenditures for This Year $79,
100000 Above the Receipts.

The Expenditures for This Year $751;
900, 900 Above the Receipts.
Washington, June 20.-F'igures obtained
from the books of the treasury make it
possible to accurately approximate the
receipts and expenditures of the govern
ment for the present fiscal year, which is
now only ten days distant. So far, for
two-thirds of this month, the customs
receipts have been $500, 900, indicating
total for the month from this source
of S9,000,000 internal revenue receipts
S8 600, indicating total of
$l2,O00,000 miscellaneous receipts
$2,000,0 900, indicating a total of $1,000, 600,
and making the aggregate government
receipts for the fiscal year 1924 ,000, 600
The expenditures 50 far have been $1g,-
100000, making the aggregate for the
year to June 30, the next ten days being
estimated, S372, ,000, 900, or an excess for
the fiscal year of $7S ZOO, 900. The internal
revenue receipts for the first eleven
months of the fiscal year show a decrease
from last year for the same time of $l4,-
35i 900.

WHEN WILL THE BILL BE
PASSEDP
Some History Bearing Upon the Pass
age of the Mckinley Tariff.

age or the mckinley Tariff.
Washington, June 20.-It is certain
that the tariff bill will be passed, but
inst when the bill will receive the sigma
ture of President Cleveland can not yet
be told, but its comparison with the
chronology of the Mckinley act will help
to give an idea. The Mckinley bill
was brought into the House of
Representatives by Chairman Mckinley
from the ways and means committee on
April 10, 1890. 1t passed the House May
Il was received in the Senate May %,
and referred TO the committee on finance
on May %; June Is it was reported back
from the committee with amendments;
Sept. 10 it passed the Senate as amended
Sept. IL it was received back in the House
and referred to the ways and means
committee; Sept. 10 it was re-
ported back from the committee and the
House voted to non-concur in the Senate
amendments. The Senate had already
asked for conference, and to this the
House agreed. The conferees numbered
seven from each house. Those of the
Senate being Aldrich, Sherman, Allison
ana Hiscock for the republicans, and
voorhees,, Vance and Carlisle
for the democrats. Mcpherson
was originally appointed, but
suffering from an indisposition was
unable to serve, and Voorhees, was ap-
pointed in his stead. The House conferees
were Mckinley, Burrows, Bayne and
Dingley, of the republicans, and McMil-
lin Turner and Flower, for the demo-
Gratis. Mills was originally appointed,
but he declined, and Turner was ap-
pointed to the vacancy. Sept. 26 the con-
ference report was made in the House by
Mckinley, and the next day itpassed that
body. Sept. 30 it was discussed in the
Senate and passed. Sept. 30 and Oct. a
correction IN the enrolment of the bill
was made, and on the latter
day it finally passed the two houses,
was examined and signed by the presid-
ing officers Of the two houses-Speaker
Reed and Vice President Morton-and
was approved by President Harrison.
Thus it required three weeks for the bill
to reach the President after it had finally
passed both houses. The President
could have held it ten days if he had so
wished.
The hot weather is having an effect to
speed legislation, and so have some of
the dilapidated fences of both parties in
congress. 1t is hardly possible that the
bill will be as rapidly disposed of after it
reaches the conference as was the Nc
Kinley measure. But the congressional
prophet puts the day of adjournment
about August and certainly not later
than August 10.

a Sensational Charge.

Howard was given verdict of s1OO
against the Atlanta and West Point rail-
road in the city court to-day The trial
brought out several lively side issues and
one result is likely to be bigamy trial.
Mrs. Howard claims to have received
permanent injuries by falling when she
attempted TO get off the train at East
Point, the box placed by the porter for
her TO step on being the cause of the fall.
Among the witnesses for the railroad was
brother-in-law of the plaintiff, his son
and daughter, who came from Tennessee
to testify. They gave the plaintiff
the character Of an adventures. To
support the theory of the railroad that
she and her husband were working a
scheme to get damages, these witnesses
swore that Howard mas another wife in
Tennessee, and that besides being o
bigamist, he had served term In the
penitentiary for house stealing.

Chicago, June 20.-A morning paper
says: zone million men, members of the
Farmers Alliance, are on the point of ally

Labor and American Railway Union. I.
B. Mcclure, member of the general ex-

of the American Railway Union. A tri-
partite agreement soon to be entered into
between these three great organizations,
whose united forces will number l,500, 600
citizens of the United States at the end of
the current year, has for its primary OBJ
ject the formation of a party for inde-
pendent political action. AS an indica-

Union to send representatives to the con-
vention to be held at the capitol building

PORT ROYALS DRY DOCK.
1t Will Be Ready When it is Needed
by the Battleships.


Washington, June 20. Commodore
Matthews, chief of the bureau of yards
and docks, has returned to Washington
from trip to Port Royal, S. c., where
he went to inspect the new dry dock now
building there. The work was found to
be of excellent quality and progressing
well, so that the chief felt war
ranted in recommending that the time
allowed for the completion of the dock,
which expires at the end of this month,
be extended to next September, which
recommendation has secured the ap-
proval of Secretary Herbert. Although
this dock is considerably behind time in
completion, in measure owing to the
great tidal wave of last year, it is ex-
pected that it will be ready for use when
it becomes necessary to dock the new bat
tleships and thus relieve the department
from the serious anxiety that it felt on
that score.
