VERY LITTLE FRlCTION.
The Naval Appropriation Bill Passes
the Senate.


the Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The naval ap-
preparation bill was passed in the Sen
ate to-day with very little friction or
DELAY. There was one amendment Of
fered that might have led to considerable
debate. It was for the construction OF
two new steel-armored cruisers at cost
not exceeding 50, $50, 900 each. German,
who was in charge Of the bill, requested
that the amendment should be with
drawn on the grounds that by 1896 the
thirteen cruisers now in course OF con-
struction would be completed and would
furnish a very respectable navy, and
that in the present depressed condition
of business and the existing state OF the
nations finances it was desirable to keep
down expenses. Daniel, who offered the
amendment, recognized the force of the
suggestions, and in accordance " it'll Cor
mans request withdrew the amendment.
White of California called attention to
the action of the committee in striking
ont the appropriation of $50, 600 for a
steam tug for the Mare Island navy yard,
and had read a letter from the Secretary
of the Navy indorsing the necessity ioI
the tug. The appropriation was allowed
to stand. Allen offered an amendment,
which was agreed to, providing that all
appointees as naval cadets shall have
been actual residents of the district from
! which appointed for at least two years
previous to their appointments:
/ The House bill to amend the law rela-
tive to mining claims was also passed.
It provides for the temporary suspen-
sion of the requirement that q certain
sum of money shall be expended each
wear on mining claims until a patent
shall have been granted.

NEE PIERCE TREATY.
1t Will Open Half Million Acres of
Land to Settlement.

1t Will Open Half Million Acres of
Land to Settlement.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-Representa-
tive Wilson from the Committee on
Indian Affairs has submitted an extended
report on the bill to ratify the agree
ment made with the Nez Perez tribe
of Indians for the sale of their surplus
lands, submitting also substitute meas
ure, the passage of which is strongly
recommended.
May 1, 1898, Robert Schleicher, James
F. Allen and Cyrus Beede concluded an
agreement with the Nez Perces by which
they released to the United States about
555, 207 acres of land to be opened to
settlement under the provisions of the
homestead, townsite, timber and stone
and mineral laws of the United States.
The bill reported by the committee pro-
vided that persons entering these lands
shall pay 1915 per acre for agricultural
lands, and So per acre for timber and
stone and mineral lands.
1t is believed by the Committee on
Indian Affairs that the money received
from the sale of these lands at the prices
fixed in the bill will fully reimburse the
government for all expenditures made
in connection with the purchase of the
land or negotiation of the treaty, and all
incidental expenses in any manner con-
nected Herewith. The committee also
believe that the first payment made
under the treaty will be returned to the
treasury as quickly as settlers can make
the payments required under the bill.
In support of this proposition two state
ments are submitted, estimating, each
independently of the other, the classes
of land and the acreage Hereunder,
thrown open to settlement by the terms
of the treaty referred to.
The first estimate was submitted by
Robert Schleicher, Chairman of the COM
mission which negotiated the treaty,
and is as follows:

sought to state only what seems to
me to be the truth as to the present

if my conclusions are right, it

WOOL MARKET BOOMING.
A Republican Senator Has to Issue Card
Explaining Why He Paid Such
Good Prices.

A wheeling (W. Va special
says: The improvement in the
prices of wool and sheep in this
section continues undated. The
demand for both is active, and
prices are higher than at any pre-
vious time in two years. Thomas
w. Harrison, of Lewis county, W.
Va, last week sold 1900 pounds
of wool, for which he was offered
fifteen cents six months ago, for
twenty-one cents, and has another
clip that he refused to dispose of
at that figure and on which he OK
poets to clean up twenty-five cents
before the first of the year. John
Huhsion, of M. L. Bond Il Co.,
Churchill, w. Va, told your cor
respondent that he gathered up a
few thousand pounds of wool
among farmers in Lewis county,
last week, and shipped it to Balti-
more, where he received twenty
two cents a pound for it. He says
it was not of good grade and that
in the entire lot there was not an
unbroken fleece. He also asserted
that he believed he could get from
five to eight cents pound better
for good grade wool, and author
lied the use of his name in the
statements made.
A letter from a strictly reliable
person in Richie county says the
farmers there who disposed of stock
sheep last summer at $50 per
head are now buying the same
class of animals at from $3 to SIS
a head. Sheep are very scarce,
and farmers are having trouble to
get what they want at any price.
The call for fat sheep for market
can not be supplied, farmers hav-
ing them refusing to sell.
Senator Charles Hogg, of the
Ohio district across the river, is
wool-buyer and Il Republican can
didate for reelection. He has been
preaching fourteen-cent wool from
the stump. 1t came out Yesterday
that he had bought 1900 pounds
of wool in Harrison county at
twenty cents straight.an extra good
price for the grade.
"The Kilbourn knitting mills, of
this city, have just completed two
new buildings, additions to the
plant, with a full outfit of machin-
cry. The foundations have been
commenced for another building,
ffty-six by thirty-six feet, and
three stories high, When this is
completed the Kilbourn will be the
largest stocking factory in the Uni
ted States and will have capacity
of over 5000 pairs day."

A Sons Love.

Riley Grannon, the plunger, of
Lexington, did n handsome thing u
few days ago. Thirty years ago
his parents owned homestead at
Paris. Misfortune overlook them
and the homestead had to be sold.
Allen Bashford, wealthy mer-
chant tailor, bought in the prop
erty.
The elder Grannon, financially
ruined, then went to work in tho
store of BasEford as u tailor, while
little Riley swept up, made fires
and did the chores.
Time rolled on and Riley took
to the turf and is now wealthy.
As prosperity came to him, adj
versity overlook Mr.. Bashford.
His fortune left him, and a few
months ago he was stricken with
paralysis and died.
The old homestead was adver-
tised to be sold at auction on the
Goth inst, and Riley surprised ev-
by bidding it in at IS, 100
and turning ID over to the old folks,
who wept tears of joy over their
boy, who, in oil these years, had
been determined TO see them once
more i'm their old home.

The county levy including the
DOLL tax for each wear.

1t is correctly claimed that if
county bonds for $4,000, bearing
6 per cent. interest, were issued for
q term of 20 years, that the prin-
cipal and interest would amount to
a total of $4,000. While that is
true, the important question is
''wHo WOULD PAY THE MONEY!"
The 26 miles of main line of rail-
road in our county; the camel coal
mines that would be opened and
operated on Caney creek, White
Oak creek, Rush branch, Mordecai
creek, Elk Fork and North Fork,
and the buildings that would be
required as homes for the miners
and their families; the saw mills !;
the store houses and other indus
tries that would be esta blished to
develop our mineral resources and
utilize our forest products, would
by a conservative estimate, add at
least million and a quarter of
dollars to our taxable valuation.
At the present rate of 35 cents on
800 the sum of $4,375 per year
would thus be added to our county
revenue, and at the present rate of
424 cents on 800 the state tax
would be $5,812 so per year. $4,375
per year for 20 years makes total
of $4,000 for the county.
But it is not only in taxes on
property that the railroad and bu-
siness resulting from it would be
the means of added revenue.
To operate the railroad and the
Caney creek mines alone would re-
quire the services of 600 men, and
it is probably below what the re-
suits would be to estimate that for
the first ten years the whole mining
operations and other industries
would increase our adult male pop
ulation to the extent of 200 per
year. Each of these men would be
subject to a poll tax, and would
have the money with which to
make the payment. This would

MORE FIGURES!
TO the Voters Of Morgan County.

In my letter of last week in "a
Question of Figures" it was proved
that Morgan county, unaided on
the present valuation and with the
same rate of taxation as at present,
could pay off debt of $4,000 in
nine years. ft
/ shall now endeavor to show
what we could accomplish with a
railroad. But before proceeding
with my demonstration, l wish to
call your attention to the follow
ing exhibits, compiled from Of
fetal records on file in the county
clerks office:
The Hazel Green herald. [volume] (Hazel Green, Wolfe County, Ky.) 1885-19??, 1894-10-25

Deducting from such receipts the
sum of $3.50, which is what the
average ordinary expenses of the
county has been for the past four
years, would leave a cash balance
in the county treasury of $11,5l4
per year.
The argument may be advanced
that, with such large surplus rev.
enue, it would be right to reduce
the rate of county taxes, but in my
opinion that would not be a pru-
dent thing to do, because if we
lowered the rate on ourselves we
would also be compelled to reduce
it on the railroad, mines, etc. and
as we would not be paying any
more county taxes than We are now
doing, and would be able to easily
continue such payment with rail-
road to make us prosperous, there
would be no wisdom in the reduc-
ton.
While $l1,500 would be large
surplus to dispose of each year for
sixteen years-and thereafter, there
is the necessity for very large
amount Of public work before all
of Morgan county is made what it
is capable of becoming, and l am
in favor of all beneficial public
improvements that we can have
that we would be easily able to pay
for.
1t is not because l am in the en-
ploy of the men who own the Ca
ney creek camel coal that i advo-
cate the voting for the $4,000 Of
bonds. Those men paid me fairly
for honest services, just as they
have paid every one else they hired,
and they have already paid out a

This would leave a cash balance
to our credit of over $4,000 year.
Imagine what fine shape the high
ways of our county would be in, if
for the next 20 years we had an av-
erage of $4,000 each year to spend
for bridges. culverts, and in making
and repairing roads.
If public sentiment favored pay
ing the bonds before they were due,
then by setting aside the taxes re-
ceived from railroad, miners, etc,
and the increase of poll tax, the
result would be:
