SHORT MANY MILLIONS
Financial Condition of the Dominion IL
Worse Than r. Ever WAS I&cforc ~

Financial Condition of the Dominion IL
Worse Than 1t Ever Was Before.
Ottawa. Ont, Feb. 12.-There IS a
deficit of nearly 81, 1000, 900 in tho do
minion treasury, as shown by the off,
cial gazette. AT the end Of the fiscal
year 1t is estimated that the deficit will
be SO, 200. 900. At this time last year
there was a surplus of more than 3D.
600, 900. The minister OF finance said
in parliament at the last session that
in view of the shrinknge in revenue
which he had to face, rigid economy
would be practiced. 1t now appear
that the expenditures have largely ex-
cecded those oflast year. while there
has been a great falling off in revenue.
Never have the dominion finances been
in us unsatisfactory acondition Us now.

Paris, Feb. 11.-Americans are expected
to figure far more prominently ia all en-
t~ertainments of the official world here
than at any period since the days of the
empire. For not only Is the wife of the
prime minister n Chicago lady, but Nine.
Fs,.re, the new mistress of the Elysee pal
ace, is an old and warm friend of Mrs.
William Aston. The two ladies are very
fond of ont another. and MADAME la
Presidente'' is reported to be looking for
ward with a considerable degree of pleas
ure to the arrival of her American friend,
who is stated to have been her schoolmate
here years and years ago.
During the reign of Napoleon III, who
was extremely partial to Americans. the

Tuileries, and very conspicuous in all Off

so that u distinctly American tone PIE

and her brothers, the Princes Murat,
speaking French with a strong American
accent, having been born in New Jersey of
n Philadelphia mother, while the Marquis
de Lavillette and several of Empress Eu-
genie's ladies In waiting hailed from the
United States.
On the establishment of the republic,
however, the vogue for Americans in off,
ciai society at any rate, distinctly dimin-
lshcd. M. Theirs entertained old fashioned
prejudices dating from the earliest part OF
the century. and dreaded their go-ahead-

william Waldorf Will Probably Return to
America.
London, Feb. 12.-The friends OF
William Waldorf Aston incline to the
belief that he will. in the near future,
dispose Of his English properties and
return to the United States. j has
been known for some weeks past that
the Pail Mall Gazette could be bought
for a nominal sum, and the fact that
negotiations for its sale have been be-
gun by Mr.. Astor would seem
to confirm the current rulnors
regarding his return to New
York. 1t is understood that the
magazine which has been conducted in
conjuntion with the Pail Mil. Gazette
is likewise for sale. Life in England
has apparently lost all charms for Mr..
Astor since the loss Of his beautiful
wife, and it is probable that his hand
some estate on the Thames, Cliveden,
will be resold to the duke of Westmin-
ster at q much lower figure than the
present owner paid for it two years
ago.
1t is said to be Mr.. Astor's intention
to send his children to school in the
United States. His own plans are un-
settled. but thote in a position to know
say that he will travel considerably be-
fore settling down again in New York.

Dakota Warrants.

Pierre. 8. D., Feb. 9.--The state treas.
urer will on Monday begin paying cash
for all outstanding warrants, md
henceforth there will be no trouble in
maintaining cash payments. A few
days ago IN interview with Treasurer
Phillips was wired out, stating the re.

condition. A telegram from Chicago
from n heavy firm Of bankers stating
that they had seen the interview was
received saying they would like n large

posit the money to the trcasurer's or

prospective obligations. There will be
no trouble in maintaining cash pay
ments until August: when a deficiency
tax fully equal to the Taylor steal will
be made.

Thursdny Mt Pierre.

Pierre, 8. D., Feb. THE item Of
most interest today and of especial de-
light to the populists was the senate
wranglc over the silver memorial to
congress. The memorial started from
the committee as a wide open free sill
yer recommendation, but was reconsid-
cred in the house and limited to the
American product.
Senator Boyce moved to limit COIN
g to the product of the United States,
to which. Senator Sinclair proposed o
further amendment limiting the coin
age to the product of South Dakota.
Senator Bennett scored a good point
in presenting the fact that just now as
a state we are very anxious to sell state
warrants to eastern capitalists and
ought no to be proposing at the same
time to bay in a money OF Tess value.
Senate bill No. 81, which makes an
appropriation of $4,000 to reimburse
Frank Stanton for supplies furnished

icating at 4 per cent. After discussion
against the bill by Messrs. Dowell.
Cawood. Truman and Parker, and for
the bill by Messrs. Donohue and Glass.

favorably by a vote of 81 to 18.

dents Of uhorganized counties may

gnting committee he stated that lie

that he me there. in consultation with

grown up in many minds that Leppel-
man was privy to Taylor's shortage
aud had some connection with it. Re-
Gently q letter was received by Bon c..
Hoover hero from New York city
signed by Mr.. Leppelman in which he
states:
II have not seen Mr.. Taylor or heard
of or from him since October, 1894, md
then WI did not talk over financial
matters. His defalcntion was MS great
q surprise to me as 1t could have been
to any one. | have not bcen out OF

tober. In regard to Mr.. Taylor and
the Northwest Mortgage company lay
ing 800, 900 in the Gettysburg bank,
would say that it is false and thnt there
is no ground for such an assertion.
True they tied up some money
a time amply good for tho amount.
Further we paid them a bonus for COM
ing to our rescue and bonus wa esti-
mated at a low valuation at So, 900 or
5000 Am very sorry for the state
and Mr.. Taylor's bondsmen, also for
Mr.. Taylor. asI cannot bring myself
to believe that he deliberately got
away with the states money. ! would
rather believe that he made poor in.

Saturday at Pierre.

Pierre, S. D.. Feb. 10.-In the SEN
ate on Saturday The house substitute
for bill No. 81 was passed, which pro-
vides for the deposit of county funds in
repositories selected by county conf
missioners. The greater part of the
afternoon was occupied in a very ear
nest discussion Of the divorce bill. This
bill provides that where personal serv-
ice is secured by the plaintiff u bill Of
divorce can be granted after Il six
months residence within the state.
Where service is secured by advertise
ment it requires that there shall have
been nj years residence before the
decree can be Issued. The opponents
OF loose divorce laws made considerable
opposition to the bill on the ground that
action could be Immediately COM
mcnced before residence was really es-
tablished, n that the tendency of the
bill was rather to make easier the Sc
curing of divorce within our state.
Some argued thai the bill was III the
special interest of the attorneys. which
charge was Indignantly repealed.
In the house notice was received Of
the governors approval of Nos. 10, 200
and 90.
A telegram was read by the speaker
from Senator P%ettigrew, congratulate
ing the house oil the passage of the sill
YER memorial.
Representative Burke presented n
resolution requesting an opinion of the
attorney general in reference to the
constitutional requirements for taking
the census in 1895. 1t seems to be the
prevailing sentiment that railroad bill
No. ] will fail of passage and even be
unfavorably reported by 10Th commit
tees. There are, however, a number
Of other railroad bills affecting the
roads in different directions which are
quite likely to pass. Some of them
have already passed either n house or
the other.
