The beauties of the, Income tax law
continue to be demonstrated. Official
records show that the total amount COL
lected under the law was $4,000, while
the cost Of collecting it was about $50, 200.
Treasury officials try to break the force
Of this statement by saying that the ex-
pense was largely caused by arrange
ments made to put the law into opera
ton, and that it would have cost only
$4,000 more to collect the entire tax
than it did the amount collected. How
ever this may be, the fact that it cost
$4,000 to collect $1,000 stands as an
other evidence Of Democratic and Popu-
listic laundering. The Treasury Depart.
ment is now engaged in refunding the
amount collected. and strictly speaking,
the expense of that proceeding ought to
be set down to the same account.

A dispatch from Brussels reports Mr..
Shape. an English delegate to the inter-
national parliamentary conference on
peace arbitration. now in session there,
as saying st was regrettable from the
arbitration standpoint that the Congress
of the United States had refused to vote
the Boring sea compensation. whereas
Great Britain had paid large Ala
bama indemnity" Mr.. Shape seems to
be laboring under an excess of ignor-
ance. The Alabama Claims Commission
made Il distinct award of a definite
amount Of damages against Great Brit
ain, while the Boring sea tribunal SIM
ply decided certain principles and facts
and left the ascertainment OF damages
to subsequent negotiations. What Con-
gress refused to make an appropriation
for was not the award Of the tribunal
but an exorbitant claim made by the
British minister. When the claim Is
properly investigated and purged Of un-
just items. it will be- paid. Meanwhile,
in view of Great Britain.s recent refusal
to arbitrate the Nicaraguan and Ven
ezuelan controversies. her representa-
tives ought not to have, much to say re-
garding international arbitration.

So far as known, no writer on evolution
has taken account of the steady and re-
markable growth OF hailstones. There was
time when the regulation size was about
that Of a small pea. From this it has
increased through various stages to the
size of marble. hickory nut and hens

than baseballs." and 1t is not even stated
how much larger. Can 1t be that this con-
tinuous growth is effort on the part of
nature to respond to the increasing demand
for new sensations, or what is 1t, and
where will 1t end?

other a Democrat, and of the four law
yers appointed to represent the Inter-
ests of the United States. three were
Democrats and one Republican. On
this point Senator Morgan says:
Our party was and is responsible for u.s.
ing the means that were employed both for
the raising and the settlement of these
questions. and it was just measure of re-
sponsibility that Mr.. Harrison devolved
upon US when, out OF body OF aroitrators
and counsel and Mr.. Secretary Foster the
agent, selected by him-seven in all-he Sc
iiected four Democrats and three Repub-
Leans. For this he suffered censure at the
hands or his political friends.
AS for himself, Senator Morgan says he
was surprised and embarrassed by his
appointment as a member of the tribunal,
because he was Democratic Senator,
and he only decided to accept after con-
sulting with number of prominent
Democrats in the Senate. He felt that
he could only decline on one of three
grounds. viz. either that he was unfit
for the service, or that no Democrat
should accept such an appointment
from Republican President, or that it
was the duty of all Democrats to de-
clare for war instead of arbitration as a
means Of settling the Boring sea con-
troversy. AS he was not willing to place
himself in either of these positions. he
accepted the appointment.
1t may be added that Senator Morgan's
connection with the arbitration was
highly honorable to himself and in keep
ing with his recent patriotic record. He
was the only arbitrator who voted to
sustain the claim of the United States
on certain important points, and on the
other questions he voted with Justice
Harlon. His card is at once complete
vindication of his own motives in &C
cepting an appointment at the hands of
Republican President, and singing
rebuke of Mr.. Cleveland's first admin
istration for its laundering mismanage-
ment of the Boring sea question.

FATAL TO BOTH FATHER AND SON
Riot Among Boatmen on the TOnawanda
Water Front.

Tonawanda, N. Y, Oct. 7.-One man was
killed and another fatally wounded here
this morning in a riot among boatmen
over the question Of unloading at Serb
ner's dock. One hundred and fifty men
were involved. Captain Phillips, owner of
the boats, John Graft and May was shot
in the head and died soon after. Phillips
son was struck on the head with a club
and it is believed his skull is fractured.
Captain Phillips brought his boats down
from Buffalo two days ago and sought to
load out of turn. The bOatmen objected,
and gathered early at the dock to prevent
him. TonaWanda boatmen say Phillips
began the shooting. However that may
be he was the first to fall His son then
cut the line and the boats drifted down
the stream out of range. While cutting
the lines young Phillips was assaulted.
The shooting brought the police out, but
the rioters had dispersed.

seen in the northwest especially in re-
spect to the products of the soil. The

Newly Organized National ALI
ance Appeals fer Funds.
NOW HAVE ANOTHER POLICY
DO Not + ust in Parliamentary Agitation
to Achieve the Liberty Of Their
MOthcrland.

New York, Oct. 6.-The national off,
GERS and executive committee of the
Irish National Alliance issued the fol-
lowing appeal today:
ITO all Friends of Irish Independ
ence: The convention which recently
organized at Chicago, the Irish Nation
al Alliance, has placed it's guidance and
government in the hands Of the under
signed for the ensuing two years. The
purpose of the alliance has already been
proclaimed: To obtain the complete in
dependence of Ireland from England,
by any means consistent with the laws
of nations. Organizations, like govern
ment, have to depend on their revenue
for successful accomplishment of their
duties. The sinews of war; for both
are absolutely necessary, both for or
ganization and propagation.
England, the arch-enemy of Ireland,
has at her disposal immense resources,
the accumulations Of centuries of con-
quest and piracy. She has it in her
power to control or mould public Opin-
ion in her own interests. Even in free
America she possesses this power to
an astounding extent, her side Of the
Irish question has filled the American
mind for a quarter Of century; aver
since Ireland's friends at home and
abroad committed the costly fault OF
trusting to parliamentary agitation to
achieve the liberty of their mother
land
Now, however, a totally different
policy has been inaugurated. The alb
solute claim of Ireland to a distinct
national life has been placed forcibly
before the world by the unanimous
voice of the recent Irish national con-
gress held in Chicago.
"Provincialism has been cast aside
and the national demand of Ireland
which slumbered but did not die, is
again in the ascendant. We are deter
mined that it shall SO remain and that
no effort of ours; no sacrifice Of our
part will be left untried or unperform-
ed until victory crowns our sacred
cause.
1--WE appeal, therefore. to all friends
of the independence of Ireland, to aid
us in this good work by placing at our
disposal the means required for it's &C
cOmplishment.

cOrdance with your means and to for
ward your subscriptions as soon as pos
sible to the secretary of the Irish Ma

BAD RUMoRs FROM JACKSON HOLE
Alleged Killing of Army Officers by
Bannocks Denied and Affirmed.

Denver, Oct. IA special to the News
from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: The mill
tary authorities at Fort Russell discredit
the report of the killing in Jackson hole of
Captain Smith and two comrades by the
Bannock Indians. The federal authorities
here place no reliance in the report.
Lieutenant Ladd, who is in command of
the troops at Montpelier Idaho tele-
graphs this afternoon as follows: Moth
ing is known here of the affair. Report
not credited"
At 545 p. m. Adjutant General Sitter
Of the state militia received a dispatch
from Hon. Marion Patrie of Mar
ket Lake, chairman of the republican
state central committee of Idaho, reading
as follows: 1.-The courier, Wilson, asserts
positively that he saw three dead bodies
have not seen Wilson personally"
TROOPS INVESTIGATING
Boise City Idaho, Oct. IA special to
the Statesman at midnight from Poca-
tello says: Advices from Idaho Falls to-
night fail to give any late news regarding
the finding of the dead bodies of Captain
Smith and two companions in Jackson
hole last Thursday. j. K. Wilson, scout
for the United States troops and who is
responsible for the story, has left
Idaho Falls and his whereabouts can not
be learned A rancher by the name Of Ad-
ans, who lives five miles from where the
murder occurred, questioned wilson
closely and believes the report to be re-
liable. Two companies of United States
troops who have been stationed at Swan
valley since the Indian scare of several
months ago, have left for Jackson hole
to ascertain the truth and prevent further
outrages if possible.
There are about rs Bannock Indians re-
ported in that vicinity and 1T is feared
they may accomplish other outrages be-
fore the arrival of the troops 1t will be
three or four days before the result OF
the soldiers investigation can be learned,
owing to the distance and rugged roads.

MINE GAS IGNITED
Terrific Explosion in the Dorance
Workings at WiIkesbare,
LOSS OF LIFE IS UNKNOWN
Five Men, Badly Burned, Have Already
Been Brought Up From the
Scene of Disaster.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 7.-Shortly
after p. m. today a terrific explosion
of gas occurred in the Dorrence mine,
operated by the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company. 1t is not yet known how
many men. were in the mine. The Of
ficials are reticent and it is almost i'm
possible to get any information from
the lower levels, where the rescuers
are at work.
At o'clock five men, badly burned,
were brought to the surface They were
r. Blanchard, r. Miller, Michael Moss,
George Lafiey, Joseph Murphy. The
first two are members of the engineer
corps. Moss and Lafley are laborers
and Murphy is a driver. Miller and
Blanchard are SO badly burned that
they can not live.
Blanchard gave his version Of the
explosion to a reporter as he lay on a
cot in the hospital. Shortly before 5
o'clock the engineer corps decided to
make survey of portion of the old
abandoned workings known as the
Baltimore section and which underlies
the grounds of the Wilkesbarre base
ball club, one mile distant from the
main opening of the mine. The party
who is an expert on mine gases, con-
sisted of William Jones, William Ca
hill and Llewellyn Owens. Blanchard
and Miller were left behind to finish
some work that had been started in the
morning About IL minutes after the
party had left Miller and Blanchard,
the explosion occurred. Both Miller
and Blanchard were knocked down by
the force FlVing timberS struck Mil
Ter, breaking both of his arms. After
being knocked down Miller and Blanch-
ard revived at the hospital. Blanchard
thinks one of the engineers set fire
to a body of gas in the old workings
and that all of the party must have
been instantly killed. When Blanchard
was found he was being slowly roasted
to death. The gas had set fire to his
clothes and they had been almost burn
ed off his body when the rescuers came
upon him. Miller with his broken arms
could render him no assistance, and
Blanchard was so pinned down by de-
bris that he could make no use of his
hands.
It is now admitted by the mine Of
ficials that there is no hope of finding
the engineer corps alive. They all per
ished in the explosion and if they were
not killed outright they were suffocated
by the fire damp. The superintendent
is of the opinion that they were killed
by the force OF the explosion and their
bodies probably burned to a crisp All
but eight miners and laborers have now
been accounted for. Whether these
eight persisted with the engineers will
not be known until tomorrow.
