The Fields.Adkins oase.

BARBoURsvILLE, Ky, April 81 The
commonwealth in the Fields-Adkins
case closed in chief at IL o'clock this
morning. Colonel Breckenridge moved
that the court give the jury peremptory
instructions to acquit Fields, but the
motion was overruled. Not more than
one-fourth of the commonwealth witt
nesses have yet. been used. One com
monwealth witness testified TO having
seen Marion French, son OF b. f.
French, leader Of the French faction,
in Hazard the morning that Judge
Combs was killed. The prosecution
claims that it will be able to show that
young French WAS there to carry out
the contract that his father had made
with Fields and Adkins. The two wit
nesses this morning identified Adkins
as the man who shot Judge Combs.

to speedy settlement OF the

THE injunction OF Judge Golf, re-

Carolina from taking any action locking

clares he will go on just the same with
his preparations for an election until
the Supreme Court of the United States,

question. What with the injunc tions
against the dispensary laws, the regis

A RESOLUTION favoring the annexation
OF Canada to the United States has been
adopted by the New York house of repa
resentatives. This is we'll enough as
far as it goes, but unfortunately in this
case Canada does not seem to look at
the matter in the same light. The
United States have favored the annex
alton OF Canada since 1916. and have in
the two wars with Great Britain made
strong efforts In that direction; but 30
far have failed. The union OF all the
English speaking countries OF North
America under one government may be
brought about in time; but just now
that union seems TO be far away in the
future.

Spain All Right.

WAsnINaToN, April 24.-Sec:etar-
Gresham mas received dispatch from
dannis Taylor, United States minister
at Madrid, assuring him that Spain
would accede to the demands of the
United States in the Alliance affair, and
that Captain Venadito would be put on
trial for his oifense in firing at an
American vessel outside the zone. The
tone Of this dispatch is such chat the
State Department feels its course will
be vindicated by the court. One OF the
principal missions which Senior De
LONE, the new minister of Spain to the
United States, was to satisfy the CON-
plant made by Captain Crossman, of
the Alliance.

Trappihg "A Holjber.

A curious story is told by the Vienna
correspondent of the London News a
young man, the representative Of 4
large firm, who carried large sum of
money with lin, recently spent the
night at hotel at Presburg. Asusual,
he remained some time smoking in
bed. Suddenly the burning cigar fell
to the floor. lie bent over to extin-
guish it, when he saw hand projected
from under the bed to put the cigar
out. 1t made him very Uncomfortable.
He lay awhile and then saying, aloud
"How very cold; shall get my fur
coat, he jumped out of bed, flew to the
door and called for help. The would
be robber was caught. He confessed
he knew the occupant of the room had
money, which he hoped to get while he
slept. He had been fireman former

THE DEFICITS or THE GOVERNMENT.

THE DEFICITS OF TIE GOVERNMENT.
Tho decision Of the Supreme Court in
the income tax cases necessitates re-
casting Of the estimate of government
receipts for the fiscal year ending June
80, and from the data obtainable il is
believed the deficit for the year will
amount to S4O,0O0,0O0. The amount of
the deficit to the present time Is 247,-
271,541, with indications Of further
increase before the close Of the present
month. The income tax receipts, how
ever, are expected to materially dimin-
ish this amount during the remaining
ten weeks Of the fiscal year. Receipts
from customs AMI internal revenue con.
tinue to increase, but not at the rate
expected, and with anticipated receipts
from the income tax cut down one-half.
1t is doubtful If the close of the year
will show deficit of less than s4o,..
600, 000
There should be no trouble about the
revenue, however. at all, but for the
enormous outlay on account Of pensions,
which is more than one-third of all the
expenditures of the government. All
ready more than Sl1. 900, 900 have been
paid to pensioners this month, and
since the first of July last year nearly
SLIT, 500. 900 have been discussed by tho
government on this account. The
United States is q rich and powerful
country, but the pension payments arc
an enormous drain upon its resources,
and, unfortunately, there seems to be
no hope that it will lessen in the next
thirty years.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-.The Japa-

In other Official quarters, however,
there is considerable apprehension at
the menacing attitude of Russia, GER
many and France. The report that
Russia had instructed her ambassador
at Pekin to demand cession Of terri
tory for harbor on tho Pacific, con-
firms the view that Washington diplo.
mats have long held that Russia would
obtain Port Lazaref before the negotia.

however, that Port Lazareff Is in Corea,
not China, 80 that the Russian demand,
while primarily made on China must
also be TO China and Corea, il the lat.

failure of England to join in the men
