WASHINGTON. Sept. 1O.-General improve
ment in the Treasury situation is shown by all
figures bearing on receipts received for the
month Of September to date. One-third OF the
month has passed. ana for ten days or more the
country has been operating under the new
Tariff law. In that time--since Aug. 2S-the
general balance in the Treasury has increased
from sl26. .4l0.0 900 to sl2s, 900. and the
gold reserve. which forms a part Of the balance,

with the single exception of August last, at this

great increase is shown in the receipts from Gus

receipts from internal revenue. which are now
derived almost solely from tobacco and beer,
have kept up better than was anticipated.

Lively Democratic Caucuses in tho seven-
teen Towns or Livingston County.


ROCHESTER. Sept. lo.--Fletcher C. Peck of
Nunda. who was recently confirmed as United
States Marshal for the Northern District of
New York. got turned down In the caucuses In
Livingston county on Saturday. The caucuses
in the seventeen towns OF the county for the
election OF delegates TO the district and county
conventions were held on Saturday afternoon
and evening, and when all was over and the re-
turns had been gathered IL appeared that Peck
and his faction had carried eight towns and
George =. Ewart OF Groveland and his faction
had carried nine. Mr.. Ewart Is in the lead by
one town. or three delegates. as that was the
number Of delegates elected in each town.
Mr.. Ewart is the Chairman OF the Democratic
County Committee. and has been an snti-Cleye-
land man for several years. Mr. Peck was In
the Dandelion movement in 1889, and since
that time he and the Ewart forces have been
awaiting opportunity to fight their battles
out in the caucuses. When Mr.. Peck's name
was sent to the Senate by the President Mar
shall for the Northern District OF New York Mr..
Ewart had opportunity, through his relations
with Senator Hill, 10 put pretty large block in
the path of the Nunda Hnti-snapper. and he lost
no time in doing so. The result was that the

hLcoHoL UsEp IN THE ARrs.


wAsHINuToN, Sept. 10.--while the President
and all Of the members Of the Cabinet are out Of
the city enjoying their vacation, Secretary Car
lise is on duty at the Treasury Department,
struggling to unravel some Of the snarls in the
new Tariff act. To-day he had long conference
with representatives OF the wood and grain var
nish, perfumery, and chemical interests, rela-
tive to the provision which makes free Of duty
alcohol used In the arts. Mr.. James II. Davis
with several New York manufacturers, urged
the Secretary to frame and promulgste. without
further delay such regulations ~ will render
that part OF the law operative. II is argued that
all Of the industries IN which alcohol is an
important factor are lnnguishing because Of
the tardiness of the Treasury Department in
defining what is alcohol used in the arts and
also whether the regulations will provide for
separate bonded warehouses or factories in
which alcoholic preparations shall be manufac-
tured. The Secretary. having. promised to hear
tile national committee of the Wholesale Drug
gists' Association before rendering his decision,
was prevented from making any definite state
mcnt on the subject to his New York visitors to-
day. He intimated that he expected to receive
prepared statement from the Druggists Asso-
citation by Thursday or Friday Of the present
this subject. he will probably render his deci-
sion ns promptly rs the circumstances will per-
nit
The Secretary contends that the provision re-
latlng to alcohol used In the arts was hurriedly

protect the Government against mlsconstruc-
tion and fraud. There is a disposition on the
part of the Treasury officials To- place a fair
construction upon the prnvision in the act, and
frame regulations that will be acceptable to all
who ARE interested in having the law honestly
and Justly enforced. Many samples were pre-
sented to the Secretary to illustrate that the OPP
portunites for fraud are not as great as may he
supposed, providing the regulations are properly
drawn and the manufacturers OF the various
articles involving the use OF alcohol accept the
new law in an honorable and patriotic spirit
The secretary was assured by the representa-
tives of the several interests that they were
willing to comply with such regulations as he
might issue. but they insisted that prompt de-
Csion on the questions would greatly facilitate
the trade between the United States and Cana
da and the West Indies. II was said that five
out of six branches Of trade affected by the free
alcohol provision can avail themselves OF the
new law without detrment to the Government,
and at the same time reduce the price of medi-
cinal products, perfumery, and spirit varnish
from 30 to 30 per cent. to the consumers.
IL is conceded that n modification of the law
will be necessary before II Is fully and satisfac-
torily operative, and for that reason the Secre-
tary Is requested to give 1t IA practical test be-
fore Congress reassembles 10 that its impcrfec
tions may be developed and the corrections

necessity Of going further than the Omaha
platform OF 1892, which advocated the nation
alization of railroads, telegraphs, and teie-
phones, and urged the adoption Of plank in
favor OF Government control Of all avenues
of production and distribution. This was de-
nounced by the more conservative delegates
as pure socialism, while Others declared that

Rousseau declared that the votes or the Central
Labor Union of New York could only be oh
tanned by placing strong declaration before
the people against trusts and mOnopolies.

equitable basis for the bonds OF the southern
Railway Company. Little doubt Is entertained
that baron ErlangrT's attempt % force the

bought admission tickets and were standing AZ
