A Big Saving Made by Rsdu oing tho
Nnmbsr of Drsft Animals.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-Ths last con-
gress cut the approprition for army
transportation heavily, reducing it about
100000. 1t was already low, compare ed
with the necessities, and close upon the
reduction came the large expenditures
involved in the extensive movement Of
troops during the Debs strike, and more
recently the considerable exchange of
stations following the reorganization
project. The strictest economy was
necessary to make the appropriation last
through the fiscal year, and after look-
ing the ground over a method of re.
treuchment was found by the reduction
OF the number OF draft animals en-
ployed. By an order just issusd there
have been reduced from 1890 to 3100,
and taking account OF the corresponding
reduction to be made in the number OF
teamsters, hostiers and other employees,
it is expected saving of about 5000, 900
per ennum will be effected.

Proceedings OF the International Con-
vsntion at Louisviilo.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 9.-At today's session
of the International Typographical
union, sx-president Origins, of the
local Typographical union, delivered q
speech on the per capita tax question,
but II was not received with favor.
An amendment was offered that the
time of the meetings be changed from
the first Monday in October to the first
Monday in September. Tho principal
argument in favor of changing the time
was that the weather was better in the
northern cities where the majority Of
conventions would be held. This caused
Q heated debate resulting In the defeat
OF the amendment.
The next question of importance was
that of changing the per capita tax &C.
cording to the earnings of the men. 1t
was decided to leave the matter with
the local unions.
The question 90 to exposing those
unions that were In arrears in member
ship dues was also argued. 1t was de-
cided to publish them in the Journal.
The convention adjourned at I2 80 until
tomorrow morning.
The delegates were driven this after
noon to to the school for the blind. This
is without exception the only place in
the United States where publications
for the blind are printed, and the
visitors looked forward to the visit in

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Seoretary Oar.
Isle today received from Acting Attor-
nsy. General Maxwell an opinion in
which he holds the words "wool," az
used in the wooden schedule of the new

only, and that new and lower duties on
goods made of the hair of other animals
went into effect on the signing Of the

The opinion further states that the
phrase manufactures OF WOOL" in that

of which wool. as 30 defined, although
q component material, is not the mater
isl of chief value.
Immediately upon receipt Of this
opinion, Secretary Carlisle sent q long
telegram to all collectors OF customs as
follows:
The attorney general has rendered an
opinion that the word wool, 'h&s used
in paragraph 297 of the new tariff act,

JAILED FOR MURDER.
Msxwoil, tho Slayer of His son-in Law

w
in Custody
JACKSON, CAL, Oct. 9.-Maxwell, the
slayer of McManus, his son.in-law. was
brought here last night and lodged in
Jail to await examination. From meager
particulars developed at the inquest, it
appears that McManus left his home at
l o'clock Sunday afternoon. Maxwell,
about 8 O'Clock, was at G. w. Penters,
his nearest neighbor, three.quarters OF
a mile away. He came back after 4,
saying he wanted Penter to 20 to his
cabin sa he had trouble. and that he
had shot Mae and laid him out. Reach
ing the scene, the victim was found
lying on the floor. dead, with pis oil
wound in his left side, severing the
main abdominal artery. His head
was partly under the apron OF the
stove anu his hand loosely grasped the
handle of an ak. The position is con-
sidered peculiar and suspicious. A
shotgun was also found in the cabin, re-
Gently discharged by Maxwell, the walls
OF the cabin showing where it struck.
A clock and tin can lay on the floor,
which Maxwell claimed had been
thrown at him BY the deceased, the lat
ter striking his forehead. Nothing is
known about what led to the affray, the
accused making no statement. He was
not present at the inquest, although he
wanted to be and give his version.

LEXINGTON, oct. 9.-The richest trotting

dam Beulah by Harold. was the favorite over
the field. She was unluncky enough to draw
the outside position position and acted SO bad
ly in the excessive ricoeheting that it looked
as II Gus May, her driver, would never get her
away. Coming down for the fifteenth time he
got her steady, and although she got off the
last in the bunch, before furlong was trotted
she was mistress OF the situation. Rich in
Hambletonian blood, her gait was pure and
faultless, and without being struck a lick she
swept past her field of brilliant young
sters, and before the hslt-mile pole was
reached she was leading by two full lengths.
she was never in trouble and came home an
easy winner with four lengths to spare. The
second and third heats were simply process
sons, and are not worth describing, as Hen
zeita far outclassed her field. 1t was not trot-
tlng at all, and she won the race easily.
The speedy bay colt Futurity, by Hindoo
Wilkes, and the colt Axonite, by Axtell, made
a, pretty fight in the second and third heats for
the $4,000 second money, Celaya having fin
ished second in the first heat. Hindoo Wilkes
colt proved the speedier OF the two and won
second place, while Axonite, although finish

SAN QUENTIN. CAL, Oct. 9.-Governor
Markham has commuted to life i'm
prieonmont the sentence Of Anton Vital,
who was to have been hanged in
the penitentia.y here on Friday next
for the murder of Chinese wash houHe
keeper at Santa Barbara. After watch
ing the condemned man for several
weeks Warden Hale decided that he
was undoubtedly insane, and finally he
called in DR.. A. G. Clark, superintend-
ent of the Stockton insane asylum, who
examined Vital and also pronounced
him insane. This morning DR.. A. M.
Gardner, superintendent of the Napa
insane asylum, visited the penitentiary
and examined the prisoner. He pro-
nounced Vital unquestionably insane,
and said that the man would probably
continue insane as long as he lived. In
his report to Warden Hale DR.. Gardner
declared that should the officials carry
the execution into effect it would be
nothing less than judicial murder. In
accordance with the recommendation
of the doctors the death sentence has
been commuted, and Vital will be sent
to an insane asylum Immediately.

Have to Fight for 1t.
CHICAGO. Oct. 9.-At a meeting OF the
Western Passenger association, today,
the business transacted was largely OF a
routine nature, the principal matter dig
posed Of being the question of the re.
adjustment of North Pacific cosst rates
in trunk line territory. Chairman
Caldwell was instructed to follow up
.he matter with q view of securing the
adjustment of these rates to the agreed
basis between tho Western Passenger
association lines and the Trunk Line as
sociation. This means that the western
lines are not going to take any back
water in their fight with the
trunk lines over the emigrant
traffic. The western lines are moro de-
termined than ever to say that they will
never allow the trunk lines TO get away
with the emigrant clearing house, and
they are bound to maintain it even at
the expense OF a big war. There ia no
money in the fight for anybody and the
western lines are as well aware of this
as the trunk lines can possibly be. How
ever, they are determined that the emf
grant clearing house, which has proven
the best solution OF what has always
been q hard problem for all western roads
shall not be done away with. All the
Dther business tranacted at the meeting
was purely of routine nature.

THE CZAR'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED
His Malady Alleged to Be
Incurable.
Prof. Zacharin Says There Is Ne Rope
for His Recovery.
Prof. Lsyden Says He has Fighting
Chance for His Life-The APP
pointment of Regency
Discussed.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, Oct. 9.-The correspondent ol
the Standard at st. Petersburg tele-
graphs he has learned from an eye
witness that PROT Zachsrin, while in
attendance upon the czar, said to him
Your maiesty's malsdy is incurable
with care and attention your valuable
life may be prolonged for some months,
but it is useless to conceal the ia ct that
remedies will not avail beyond certain
point"
Theemperor was visibly affected, and
the family were thrown into consterna-
ion by the change in his face and bear
ing.
BERLIN, Oct. 9.-Professor Leyden, the
specialist in attendance upon the ozar,
says: "The czar has a powerful consti-
tuition and still weighs 200 pounds,
though he has lost much flesh since
January 1st, and he should be able to
make good fight against the disease
with favorable climatic influence, as at
Corfu or the island of Madeira. and
without unforeseen conditions arise he
may recover"
The illness OF the czar ia peculiar.
His principal trouble 10 grsnulated con-
traction of the kidneys, in which the
kidneys become hard and change tissue,
besides being subject to atrophy. This
ia accompanied by hypertrophy OF the
heart, resulting from enlargement OF its
muacular tissue. This latter leads to
breathing difficulty and is often very
hoi ali tnd
by fits OF unconsciousness. This lie the
case with the czar. There is no
drosy, however. Diabetes in the
preliminary stage has declared itself,
but il is merely sympathetic and an ac-
compartment of the main trouble.
When further advanced this malady
frequently results in partial or entire
paralysis. Thus far, however, there
does not appear to be any immediate
danger OF this with the czar. The most
important requirement. is total abstin-
ence from mental worry, and
on this point he has been
found to be exceedingly diff
cult to convince. The patient should
also have plenty OF sleep and food and
his digestion be regular. This, with
open air exercise and good climatic con-
his cure. Under the most favorable
circumstances, however, the disease is
of lengthy duration, possibly years, and
the results are most uncertain"
Referring to the prospects OF q regency
in Russia, Prof. Leyden remarked:
1.-THE question of the appointment Of
regent was discussed at Spala in my
hearing. but no decision was reached"
Prof. Leyden concluded: "a regency
will become necessary, however, if q
cure is to be effected"
ST.. PETERSBURG. Oct. 9.-It is under
stood thatif the czar decides. az is fully
expected, upon form of regency during
his absence from Russia, the czarewitch
will not be appointed but will be en-
trusted by special declaration OF the
czar with the direction of state affairs.
The title of regent will be carefully
avoided.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. - Nicholson
Frederickson, claiming to be an Ameri.
can citizen. who was seized and impris.
oned in Russia and afterward made his
escape, called at the state department
today in furtheranoe OF claim for in.
demnity for illegal arrest. Frederickson
asserts he was born on shipboard in
Persian waters of q Swedish father and
half-brsed Esquimaux mother. He
resided in Alaska when the territory
was acquired by the United States, and
80 became an American citizen. He was
ct school in Chicago during his boyhood,
and returned there during the worlds
fair to work as machinist.
At the time he took out his
naturalization papers to meet q
refusal by the authorities in Alaska to
recognize his citizenship. In Russia last
winter he was arrested and Imprisoned
as deserter. Later he was set free
and kept under surveillance. Again he
was imprisoned and this time he man
aged to escape and make his way TO
New York. The impression conveyed
by the mans story is that he is suffer-
ing from q case OF mistaken identity
He told his story to the state depart
ment officials, but as mere statement
does not meet the requirements, he will
have to prefer formal complaint be-
fore she department can act in the mat
