The POst-Ohice Department..

The Cleveland administration is do
ing bad business with the Post-O Office
Department, as well as with almost
everything else. The year ending
June 30, 1894, shows a falling off in
revenue and an Increased expendi
ture. The total expenditures for 1894
is S84, 234, 313: the total receipts $751;
$50, 479. The deficiency for 1898 was a
little over five millions; for 1894 it is
nine and quarter millions, an increas.
ed deficiency of more than four mill
ions during the year. During 1894 the
decrease in receipts was $S16, 454,
while the increase in expenditures was
50. $50, 300. The Cleveland party will
be known in history as the party of
great expenditures. small receipts, and
disappearing majorities.

The Columbian Dollar.

Congress provided by law for the is
sue of five and half million Column
bian dollars to be used by the Worlds
Fair Commission. These dollars were
composed of silver, and were executed
in a very beautiful design. They were
sold and paid out by the Worlds Fair
board and circulated to some extent,
but Mr., Carlisle says they are all com.
ing in to be redeemed.
This shows the evil working of the
gold redemption fallacy palmer than
any event in history. These Colum.
bian dollars were as good as the stand
ard silver dollar, but they were made
redeemable in gold, and as matter of
course they will, in time, appear al the
treasury asking to be redeemed,
These Columbian dollars were re-
tanned for a time as keepsakes of the
fair, and they circulated to some ex.
tent, but the gold gamblers and bank
ers soon gobbled them up, and are now
exchanging them at Mr. Carlisle's bar.

MURDERED HIS YOUNG WIFE
Joseph L0ehner Of ST. Louis Charged
With an Awful Crime.
HIS DUMB CHILD Is his ACCUSER
In Dreadful Pantomlms the Little UDf0rtu-
nate Pictures the Story Of Her Moth
er's Most Cruel Murder.

ST.. LOUIS, June 27.-Joseph Lochner
is in jail charged with the murder OF his
young wife. The witness against him is
his five. year-old daughter, a deaf mute.
Abe Slupsky, half-brother OF the MUIR
dered woman, has taken charge of the
child.
In order to test her ability to describe
the tragedy he had the little one brought
to his room by Mrs. slupsky this morn
ing, and encouraged her to enact the
crime in pantomime, which she does with
pathetic painstaking, emphasizing each
gesture of the little bare arms with pc
culiar exclamation, that is half scream,
half objurgation.
She stood just inside the doorway, be-
side her foster-father's bed, bowling the
head and bending up the arms and wav-
ing back and forth slowly in imitation
Of a mother rocking her babe. Then,
starting to position indicating great
alertness, the child initiated the pointing
of weapon slightly downward by per
son in an erect position.
At this point she gave vent to an al
most unearthly sound, indicative of her
horrible recollection of the shooting.
Then came the falling of the head, and
another half moan, half shrief, indicat-
ing the coming on of death; and after
this rapidly, but with painful vividness,
the stripping of rings from the dead wo-
mans fingers, the wrapping of the body
in a sheet, the act of laying it upon the
bed, each motion punctuated by that
narrowing, inarticulate vocal sign of the
child's dreadful earneetness.

A House 10 Blown Up While Victims Of .
Burning Mine Lie Dying.
BIRMINaHAM, Ala, June 27.-Fire is
still raging in the Mary Lee mine, and it
is feared that it may not be extinguished
for several days.
The disaster is even worse than was at
first reported. OF the 100 men in the
mine at the time fifty were overcome,
and were only dragged out after super
human efforts and at great peril. Supt.
John Whalen, Samuel Barker, William
Mckenzie and Ed Smith are dead. Two
are missing and are believed to be in the
nine, while twenty OF the rescued are in
Of them-John White and j. A. Barker
is momentarily looked for.
The owners are positive that the fire
was Of incendiary origin, and openly
charged it against the striking miners
1t is asserted that four strange men,
ostensibly locking for work, went into
the mine and came out again before the
fire was discovered, and that as the
smoke began to pour out, several other
suspicious-looking characters were seen
running from the mouth. Only Supt.
Whalen knew who the applicants for
work were, and he is dead.
Strikers are held responsible for an
other murderous outrage last night. A
tenement house at Warren, containing
six non-union miners, was blown up by
dynamite, and all were seriously hurt.
They are Tom Watson, George Davis,
George Lipscomb, Allen Atkinson, AS
bury Williams and David Apologize. No
arrests have been made.

tons it has been found necessary to dip
heavily into the reserve.
Another difficulty that has helped ma
terially to make the present situation
fully as serious as it was when bonds
were issued in January last is the abun.
dance of money in New York and the
low rate of interest. Treasury experts
who have been observing the causes OF
the drain on our gold believe that the
fact that money can be borrowed in New
York on American securities at per cent
has led to the extraordinary demand for
export during the past six months. 1t is
believed that this accounts in great part
for the fact that the New York banks,
which have an abundance OF gold, are
willing to aid the treasury, so that they
can ind market for their idle money.

UNCLE SAM NEEDS GOLD.

There 10 Plenty OF IL In the Banks, and
They Gan Help Il They Will.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-The withdraw
ais of gold for export have brought the
treasury reserve to the lowest point in it's
history, the amount held today being
several millions below the balance when
Secretary Carlisle called for proposals for
the $50 900 900 bond issue. The drain is
expected to continue, and unless the
New York banks advance the gold for
shipment the reserve at the end OF the
fiscal year, June 80, will be less than
$50 000. 900. 1t is believed by treasury
officials that as the last statement shows
that the New York banks held reserve
fund 10 per cent in excess OF the re-
quired amount, they can afford to aid the
treasury in meeting the demands for
shipment during the coming week.
Chicago banks made creditable
showing in the May report, their reserve
fund exceeding the fixed requirement by
IL per cent. The Chicago banks hold
$2O, 300, 900 in gold coin,, but no offer to
help the treasury in the present emer
gency has been received from them. In
this connection it should be stated that
while New York accepted about $44,-
00O, OOO OF the recent bond issue, the
Chicago banks made offers for only 1928.
900. Comptroller Eckles is in Chicago
and has bad several conferences with the
bankers of that city during the past
week. Chicago's reluctance to take any
bonds furnishes little ground for hope
that the treasury will receive any assist
ance from that quarter.
The treasury officials who have been
figuring on the recent shipments of gold
declare that they have not been caused
by the usual conditions which call for
gold exports to settle balances of trade.
The deficit for the current fiscal year
which ends June 80. will not be far short
OF $50, 0OO,O 900, and to meet the appropris-

the architect who has been in charge Of
the capitol for years, having refused to

on ventilation, Mr.. Shell introduced in

remedy the defects of the ventilation of
the capitol in a manner satisfactory to
the committee.
The Office of architect is filled by the

house has no authority over the appoint

caused much discussion. Messrs. Dur

are now but waste places will become
fertile farms and homes for thousands.
The consideration of the question has
been too long delayed, he continues, and
while all concede the Importance il not

an inclination to let the matter drift, be-
