NEED TAX ON SUGAR.
Secretary Carlisle Fears It's Abolitior
Would Cause a Deficit.

secretary Carlisle Fcars It's Abolition
Would Cause a Deficit.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 = Secretary
Carlisle has writtena letter to Senator
Harris, acting chairman Of the finance
committee. which was read in the
senate. The secretary reviewed the
condition of the treasury and the
estimated revenues of the govern
ment for the next fiscal year.
The figures showed that under the
tariff bill just sent to the presi-
dent, the revenues would exceed the
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1895. s1b, 1000, 900. The reven-
ues from the sugar duty Mr.. Carlisle
placed at s48,o00,0 900 and from coal,
iron ore and barbed wire 81, 900, 900. If
the house supplementary bills were
passed there will, Mr.. Carlisle said be
a deficiency next year of 500, 200, 900.
The secretary concludes his letter as
follows:
I'm view OF the existing and prospective re-
Quirements am OF tho opinion that II would
not be safe to place oil the articles enumerated
In your letter, or even sugar alone. upon the
free list without imposing taxation upon other
articles or subjects sufficient TO raise an an
nual revenue OF about $50 900, co.,"

has kept mighty still about it. That
some of his admirers have endeavored to
induce him to become candidate may
be true. but there is nothing bad about
that. Tho Mayer Is very good man
and would undoubtedly ill the position

to seek the preferment OF his fellow
citizens if he so desires. While non. S.

esteem OF the great body OF his constitu-

1t must be borne in mind that he must
give way some time to some one else,
and that, having been honored with the
nomination three different times already.
he has no particular claim upon the
party for denomination. 1t is simply q
question for his constituency to decide
whether they are now ready to "change
horses" and that they will decide this
question in:elligently and honestly. there

Ravaged by the Plague.
BERLIN, Aug. 13.-Cholera is slowly
but steadily spreading westward. The
disease has obtained a foothold in
nineteen Russian provinces, where
deaths by hundreds are recorded
daily. Cholera exists in seventeen
districts of Galicia and scores of
deaths from the disease take
place every day in that Sec
ton. In East Prussia, especially
in Dantzic, the situation grows
worse in spite of the closing of the
frontier at Gollub on the river Dire
wefz, opposite Dobrzyn, Poland. Ac-
cording to official report cholera bac-
I'LL have been found floating in the
river Vistula, and number of fatal
cases are also privately reported from
Holm and Gollub. The rest of Ger
many appears TO be free from cholera,
although few spasmodic cases have
occurred here and there.
