SOLDIERS SHORT ON THEIR PAY.
Law Changed and No Appropriation
Made to Meet the Emergency.

Law Changed and No Appropriation
Made to Meet the Emergency.
WASHINGTON, July 30,-On February IL
last, congress passed an act repealing the
law retaining 81 per month from the pay OF
soldiers during the first year of their enlist
ment. 1t failed, however. to make an ap-
preparation to meet the difference. and as a
result there was a deficiency Of $50 900 in
the budget of the army for the last year.
The effect of this was to delay the payment
Of the amounts due to number of officers
on regular and detached service, and OF the
men at a number of posts for the month of
July last, and they will be compelled to await
an appropriation by congress before they
can get the money due them for that month.
The men affected by this deficiency are those
at the Madison barracks and Plattsburg
N. Y, Fort Reno, |. T., the FIRST infan-
try at Angel Island, Cal, and at some
other places, The appropriations for the pay
of the army for the fiscal year 1896, were
made on the same general line as those for
the preceding year and the prospect is that
there will be a deficiency apprcXlmatng
5000, 900 for the present year. Congress, at
its last session, also put wsgoners, artifciers,
musicians, ETC., on the same footing re-
garding pay on re-enlistment as the men of
the army, but failed to make an appropriation
to meet the extra outlay This will increase
the estimated deficiency for the present fiscal
year to about $3.50 600.

THIRD SUPERIOR BANK CLOSES.
Slight Runs on the Remaining Ones,
hut Things Are QuietinE Down.

WEST SUPERIOR Wis, July 3O.-The
Keystone National bank closed its doors this
morning. 1t was considered one of the
strongest in the city. The immediate cause
of the trouble was the closing of the Superior
bank last Saturday, which caused a run on
the Keystone The keystone was the one
founded by Cadwallader, who. about two
years ago appropriated about $65 600 to him
self and fed to Brazil whence he was brought
back, and is now serving term in the
house of correction at Milwaukee. In ad-
dition to the withdrawal of general deposits,
there was threatening heavy Withdrawals of
certificate money from the bank.
The bank has suffered a heavy decline in
deposits in recent months. The deposits
have fallen from $3.50 900, as shown by the
statement of May s. to 1927 900, as shown by
the statement of July II, and at the close of
business yesterday there was about $17S 900
This condition of affairs, together with the
inability to make collections, necessltated
the closing of the bank. c. II. Brush, ma
tional bank examiner, took charge.
The banks stockholders will take immedi-
ate steps to reorganze. On July II. the date
Of the last official statement Of the bank the
liabilities outside of the circulation were
$259 S57, including $4,000 notes and bills re-
discounted and $4,000 bills payable. The
assets included 1869 525 of loans and dis
counts, $34 l02 stocks and securities, $65-
344.75 cash on hand and due from other
banks.
There were slight runs on some of the
other banks in the city, but II is thought that
everything was quieted down now This makes
three banks that have closed within the last

WITNESSES nEcoMr CONFUSED.
Many Inconsistencies Develop In the
Testimony I'm the Taylor Cnsc.

Testimony I'm the Taylor Cnsc.
CARROLTON, Mo-. July 30.-1n the Taylor
trial this morning the first witness was VIII
liam McClanahan, whose testimony was more
favorable to the state than to the defense.
He confirmed the evidence given by Dawes
as to Taylor's narrowing over the wagon
tracks made by the Taylors on their return
from the alleged murderous expedition.
James C. Taylor, father of the prisoners, was
the next witness. He denied that there was
blood on the wagon on the morning follow
ing the murder. He had examined the wagon
carefully for blood. When asked il the wagon
bed had been burned he said II had probably
caught from sparks from fire used In the
yard for boiling soap. On cross-eXaminaton
however. he became excited and cOntradicted
himself badly, and made statements entirely
at variance with his testimony at the first
trial.
Mrs. Matte Van Wye and her daughter,
Alpha, formerly neighbors Of the Taylors,
both testified that Bill Taylor was at the
bank of Browning on the night the murder
was committed.
George TAYLOR, one Of the defendants. was
finally put on the stand. He rected the do
ings of himself and his brother on the day
preceding and that succeeding the murder.
He testified that he was at home on the night
Of the murder. Next morning. after doing
some chores, he went out in the corn field
and did some narrowing until boy accosted
him and told him Of the finding Of the bodies
Of the murdered family. He then rode to
Browning, where he met his brother and
both fed. His reason for flight was that his
brother had enemies in the vicinity, and he
feared there was a plot to mob them. He
detailed their flight and final surrender.
William p. Taylor succeeded his brother
on the witness stand and detailed his actions
on the night Of the murder and next day, but
nothing of importance was elected. The
defense so far has strengthened its case and
will probably rest when William Taylor con.

He Is to lie Removed.

WASHINGTON, July S0-Mgr. Satolli
the papal ablegate, is very much annoyed at
the constant reiterations from many quarters
of the statement that he is to be recalled
The latest of these stories is to the effect
that Cardinal Ledochowski, the ex-Pole
is urging the pope to appoint Mgr. Zalewsk
fellow countryman, now papal delegate TO
India, as Mgr. Satolli's successor. 1t is
stated in the most vigorous terms at the
house of the papal abegate that so far as in
formation thare exists absolutely nothing
Is known as to the rumors that
Mgr. Satolli is to be recalled
He has received no intimation of his
recall and so far as he knows, occupies today
the same position he did when he entered
upon his mission here. In the natural order
of things his mission here will come to an
end. But as he is the frst ablegate to be
sent to this country there is no means of
judging when it will occur When in Mad
rid, Vienna and Paris, the average term Of
of a papal nuncio at those courts is five
years. Mgr. Satolli has been here about

ANARCHY RULES IN SALVADOR.
Cabinet II Combination of DiscOrdnnt
Elements and the President Weak.


EIcmcnts and the President Weak.
CITY OF MEXICO, July 30.-Private ad-
vices from the republic of Salvador state that
the country is on the verge of anarchy, there
no longer being any protection of life or
property. Murders are committed with i'm
punity, and recently the police assassinated
a reputable citizen of the capital city. Presi-
ient Gutierrez is unequal to his position and
his cabinet is made up of heterogeneous ele-
ments, including fervent Catholics rampant
atheists, agnostcs, Free Masuns, liberals and
conservatives who pull in all directions, while
Gutierrez looks helplessly on. The cabinet
has been ironically nicknamed "the hodge
pJdgG" cabinet.
The police are searching Tor francisco
BlcheZ, who recently ran amuck through the
streets of the capital city shooting right and
left and instantly killing a worthy citizen.
Not finding Bachez in his house, the police
wantonly killed his brother, with crcum-
stances Of great cruelty.
Conservatives Have II Clear Majority.
LONDON, July S0.-With the exception OF
the polling in Orkney and Shetland, which
was formerly represented by Sir L. Lowell
liberal, and the result of which will not be
known until the end of the week, the new
Parliament is complete. The division of the
parties is as follows: Conservatives, 34l
liberal unionists, 20; government total, All
Liberals, lI4i MCCarthyltes, 10; Parnellites
IS; labor, 2; total opposition. 259. Govern
ment majority, 1862. Conservative majority
over all, ~.
Thus far the conservatives and liberal
unionists, with net gain of ninety seats
will have majority of 1852, the largest in
the memory Of the present generation. Con-
servatiyes are made independent, even If a
coalition of all the other parties, including the
liberal unionists, were to take place. The
aggregate vote in the contested elections in
Great Britain was as follows: Cunserva-
tivss and liberal unionists, 1,725, ASS liberal
l62S, 247; labor, 0,OG6; total, l,67S.247. But
as ia of the unionists candidates for Parlia-
ment were returned unopposed, no reliable
estimate can be formed of the electoral
strength OF the parties. The liberal and
radical press are daily engaged in trying tC
explain the defeat, but to little purpose The
broad fact Of the situation is that the con,
servatives are not likely to be displaced foI
five or six years, unless dissensions should
arise in the cabinet between the sections
led by Mr. Balfour (conervative) and Mr.
Chamberlain liberal unionisO.
