ANoTHERIssUE OF BONDS.


Carlisle Calls on Congress for SIS, 900, 900
WASHINGTON, June AT last the
long expected petition for a new issue
of bonds comes from the Secretary of
the Treasury. This morning Secretary
Carlisle urges Congress to authorize
an issue of SIS. 600, 600 in bonds at once.
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, will lead the fight
against the bond issue In the House.
This issue will not be made without
strong opposition, and it may be pre-
vented, if the feeling against it is as
strong as is reported. Members who
oppose the new issue point to the fact
that the former issue of $50, 600, 600 was
not sufficient to keep up the reserve a
whole quarter. If this issue of bonds
is prevented, as some suppose it will
be, perhaps some change may be made
in the policy of the administration re
garding the status of the two metals.

he continued "a fellow gets used to

He said he was q practical sort of q
pr0hibitionist, and could safely cay he
had not drank five gallons of Whiskey
In his life. He was opposed to high
license, because it put the business In
the control of a few rich men, while,
with low license, the saloon keeper had
to sell 'low-down, mean stuff" to make
q living.

traffic respectable" he said. This

THE sweetest result of the dispen.

that the local whiskey ring was torn
up root and branch, and the influence
of the barkeeper in politics was COM

Gov. Tillman had several times,
when stopped by dissenting cries, de-
clared that he would win the audience
for the dispensary law, and when, at
the close of his speech, he polled the
audience, as already described, it was
with him by an overwhelming ma
jority.

A o BARRED.
Alabama's Soldiers Must Wear Black
Leather in Camp.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June Tan
shoes have been blacklisted in the rank
and file of the Alabama State troops.
An order was promulgated at Camp
Forney at Birmingham that no tan
shoes must be worn in ranks, nor IN
barracks. Those soldier boys who
went provided with only one pair Of
shoes, and that pair tans, had TO blacken
them or buy another pair. Whether
the revised tactics provide that q sol
der shall wear black shoes or whether
the commanders were afraid that the
yellow shoes would not have q tendency
to make the striking miners tremble,
is not known It is suggested also that
the tan shoes Were> boYcotted by the
commanders In order that the miners
could not truthfully refer to the guar

Chief Justice Unger in Default by Thou

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-This city has a
big municipal sensation on hand. This
morning q warrant was issued for the
arrest Of Chief Deputy Carl Unger, of
the tax department. He is indicted
for the non-return of taxes, and his de-
falcation is said to amount up into the
thousands. The single item on which
the warrant was brought was the sup
preston of S., 900 paid to him for the
city by the Anheuser Busch Brewing
Company. He is now under arrest,
and as the evidence is clear, his con-
viction seems to be certain.
