NATIONAL BUDGET.
Big Pension MOney-fhe Honduras
Kflling-Letter Carriers to
Make No Combine.

Washington, Mch. 23.-The commits
sioner of pensions says there will not be
any decreased amount appropriated for
pensions during the next three years after
1896. The amount appropriated for the
fiscal year of 1896 in round numbers is
$4,000, 900; for the present year the
amount was $150,OOO,OOO. The reason
for the absence of any perceptible de-
crease is that the falling off owing to
deaths and other causes is about counter
balanced by first payments in pensions
allowed. After three years, when it is ex
pected the ma ajority of the claims will be
adjudicated aud there will be few remain
ing first payments, Commissioners Loch-
rem expects there will be rapid falling
of of pensions.
NO COMBINE OF CARRIERS.
John E. Victory, secretary Of tie Ma
tional Association of Letter Carriers, to-
day denied that combination of postal
clerks has been formed for tho purpose
of bringing pressure upon congress to
overturn any rules of the postoffice depart.
ment, or for the purpose of lobbying
through congress legislation designed in
their interests.
MURDERED AMERICAN.
The Montgomery has returned to Mo-
bile from Trujillo, Honduras. Captain
Davis has, it Is believed, completed his
Investigation of the case OF the murdered
American, Benton, and will report the
facts to the secretary Of the navy, who
will in turn transmit it to the department
of state.
Wheat and Flax.
New York, Mch. 23.-The arrival at
this port early In the week of steamer
from the Argentine republic with cargo
of 10000 bushels of fax seed has
brought to light seme interesting facts.
1t seems that quite trade has been
going on in seed from the far away coun-
try for some time past, about 100000
bushels of the Argentine seed having
already been sold here. Another vessel
with cargo similar to the one received
here this week is due here next week.
The seed, although dirty, is reported to
be of good quality, and the price is equal
to $1.2S per bushel, duty paid, the latter
amounting to 20 cents per bushel.
Crushers get rebate ON oil cake export
ed, which makes the net price about $1.2O
paid for the South American article.
American fax seed is quoted nominally
at $1.5o@$l.55.
1t is interesting to note that two years
ago America exported large quantities of
flax seed. Now she is importing.

when Detective Lacy took look at the
body. Detective Lacy claims to be well
emphatically that the man shot by DR..
Stewart isn't the former.
The deceased is an unusually powerful
mulatto man about thirty years of age. He
Is OF medium height and wore mustache.
He had probably shaved yesterday, as
there wes no growth Of beard on his face.
The clothes he wore were very shabby,
the soles of his shoes being worn to the
uppers. In his pockets were found two
small penknfves, a blade in one of them
being open, a package Of cigarettes and
ABOUT 20 cents in small change. There
we're no papers of any sort.
DIR. Stewart.
Dr. Andrew Stewart Is a handsome man,
twenty-eight years Of age, of stout build,
and has a black mustache. He is a Wash
IL gton boy, and passed through the High
School. graduating with high honors in
1885. He was major of the battalion of
High School Cadets during that year.
Later he attended the Leipsic University,
where he pursued course In chemistry,
and later took the degree Of doctor of medi-
cine. He was abroad seven years. The
weapon used was Winchester repeating
rifle. carrying a .32-caliber bah.
AS the house was in total darkness at
the time, 1t will be impossible for DR..
Stewart to identify the two burglars who
escaped. The family was greatly agitated
over the occurrence, and DR.. Stewart ex-
pressed to the reporter his deep regret at
having killed the man, but added that it
was clearly a question of his own life or
that of the burglar.
DIR. Stew art stated that had the man once
said Don't shoot" he would Immediately
have ceased firing. The silence, supple
mented by the actions of the burglar, SEEM
ed dangerous.
Coroner Hammett. after :oeing notified of
the occurrence viewed the body and de-
cided to hold an inquest this afternoon at
5 o'clock at the 9Th precinct police station,
New Jersey avenue northwest between d
and E streets.
Identified by His Mother.
Shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon
the dead man was identified at the morgue
by his mother as James Bell. The mother,
who lives at "A Prather alley, looked at
the body. said 1t was her son, stated to the
officers that he had been living on Q street
and then tainted, so that no further in
formation concerning the man could then
be obtained.

MIR. WILLIAMS SELECTED.
He VIII Head the Baltimore Demo

He VIII Head the Baltimore Demo-
cratic Ticket.
Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, September 2S.-The
movement, to make Mr.. Henry Williams,
the president of the Weems Steamboat
Company. the democratic candidate for
mayor took definite shape today. and it
Is now generally conceded that he will
head the city ticket.
The democratic leaders have given their
consent tc Mr.. Williams nomination, and
the Hurst Business Mems Association is
taking steps to secure the Signatures of
prcmr ent democratic business and profess
SIGNAL men as an Endorsement of his can
didacy.
And one of the prominent officials of the
association said this morning that by Mon
day he expected to have 5000 names en-
rolled, calling upon him to accept the
nomination. Mr.. Hurst feels, the head
Of the state ticket, he has e right to be
consulted as to the composition of the
city ticket, as the interests of the two
tickets are 50 closely interviewer. and he
will be especially gratified should Mr.. Will
liams, who at his request has consented to
become a candidate, receive the nomlna-
tion
Mr. Williams has the reputation Of being
an Independent, and his selection is, there
fore, expected 10 strengthen lne state ticket
and to win back many democrats who
otherwise would vote the entire republican
ticket His selection will, 1t is believed,
unite the party. and Mr.. German, while at
the headquarters yesterday, gave his con-
sent to his nomination.
Mr.. Francis e. Yewell who was induced
by the democratic bosses to enter the field,
and who was assured of their support, is
very indignant at the prospect of their de-
sertion to Mr. Williams, and he told The
Star correspondent this morning that ne
proposed to make a hard fight for the
nomination at the primaries. and in the
event of losing the regular nomination, he
would become an independent candidate.
Mr. Yewel has the backing of the old
Morrison wing of the party, ard should
he carry out his threats he may throw
many difficulties in the way of Mr.. Will
lams' managers.
The leaders nave offered Mr. Yewell the
nomination for sheriff. but this he spurns,
asserting that he will take the nomination
for mayor or nothing.
There is scarcely any reason to doubt
that Mr.. Master will be nominated for
mayor by the republic ans next week. Mr.
Masters action in Withdrawing from the
contest for governor at Cambridge, and his
loyalty to the ticket nominated there, has
made him hosts of friends among all ele-
ments of the republicans. and he will be
assured of that party's enthusiastic support
In the event of his nomination.

WAHLY,S GOOD PLAY.
He Has Defeated the COuntry's Best
CrOQuetcrs.

The largest crowd of the week gathered
yesterday afternoon on the croquet grounds
at the corner of 9th street and Rhode Is
land avenue to witness the game between
Mr.. George W. johnson, the eX-champion
of the United States and W. H. Wahly of
this city. By his decisive victory over john
son Mr.. Wahly made clear his title to be-
ing one of the best players in the country.
and won first place in the first division by
a clean score of eight games to his credit.
During the week he has met and defeated
Strong, Fay, Greenway and Johnson, who
are generally regarded as the leading cro-
quet players in the country, and those who
have watched his play this week prophesy
a bright future for him.
Play was continued today, but the chances
are that the tournament will not be COM
pleted much before Monday evening. The
games have been much closer than could
have been hoped for, and 1t is no easy thing
to pick a winner in the second and third
divisions. In the second division Veasey
leads with a score of games won to lost
but either Bryant or Coleman may beat him
out.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-09-28

Mr. W. H. Wahly, the winner in the first
division, is one of the youngest players in
the national association. This is only his
third season with the mallet, but he has
already earned for himself the record of
being a brilliant and at the same time a
careful player. He is a Washington boy
and graduate of the High School. Two
years ago he divided his time between
croquet and tennis. but since then has
given practically all of his time to the
former sport In 'Y4 and 95 he played at
the national tournament, both times in the
second division. The first year he made
the creditable record of five out of eight
games, and this year he tied for first place
with ten games to his credit out of a pos
sible fourteen. His clever work this year
will probably force him up into the first
division in the national association. Mr..
Wahly is a student in the Georgetown
Law School, and will receive his degree
next year. He is in his twenty-third year.
He is tall and 1.-the. and has splendid
figure for an athlete.
