pert testimony on one side or the other;
also property owners on the same

whether or not their holdings have
been damaged by the advent OF the
railroad on that street. After the tes-
timony for the plaintiff was all in, the
court took an adjournment until TO-
morrow morning.

did not, however. take place as he had
anticipated, and with a view Of COM

explosion. and, regarding himself In his
unexploded state as a menace to pub
lie safety and to the life OF his fellow

station and asked the authorities to

THE INCOME TAX.

1t Is Stated the Supreme Court Has

WASHINGTON, May 14-1t was learned
definitely that a conclusion was
reached at Saturdays consultation Of
the supreme court, and that it is con-
fidently expected to have the opinion
in the case ready for announcement
next Monday. No authoritative state
ment as to what the decision is can be
secured, of course, but all that can be
learned goes to zorro borate the report
that the indications favor the uphold
ing of the law on the points that re-
main.
It was rumored at the consultation
of the justices Saturday Justice Jack
son voted with Justices Brown, White,
Harlan and Shiras to sustain the con-
stitutionality of the income tax law,
and the vote to be announced next
Monday will stand to in favor of
the law.

THE TREASURY DEFICIT.

For the Second Time Since 1865 the Eek.
Penditures Exceed the Revenue.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Yesterday the
treasury department deficit passed the
$50, 900, 900 mark, the exact amount OF
the excess of expenditures over the re-
ceipts since July l, 1894, being $50, 4O4,.
s87. The deficit for the thirteen days
of the present month is S., $50, SIT. This
is the second year since 1865 that the
expenditures of the government have
exceeded it's revenues. Last year
the deficit was 500. 800, 300, making
the aggregate deficiency since July 1.
1893, S12O, 2OS, lat. The receipts from
customs SO far this year amount to
a little over S133, 900, 900, which is
about 81, 900, 900 excess of the custom
receipts during the whole of the last
fiscal year. The internal revenue re-
ceipts this month to date aggregate
about $125, 100000 as against S147, Ill.
232 during the fiscal year 1894. The
best information obtainable as to the
net result of the years financial ope r
atoms is that even if the income tax
law is permitted to remain as it is, the
deficiency on July next will exceed
S55, 600, 900 and if the law is declared
unconstitutional it may reach $780,.

ON THE WARPATH,

Apache Indians In Arizona Causing Much
TrOuble-Settlers Fortifying Themselves"
WILCOX, A. T., May lot was learned
yesterday from the driver of the mail
stage between San Carlos and the ban
doned post, Fort Thomas, that the rem
egade Apaches had fight with the In
dams on the reservation, killing one
squaw, injuring several others and car
rying one away. Later accounts would
indicate that the renegade kid" had a
hand in the fight, as he has a mania
for taking a new squaw each time
he returns to the reservation. After
the disturbance they left the reserva-
ton travelling southwark. A detach-
ment of cavalry under Lieut.. Hartman
and the Indian police are in pursuit.
1t is now generally known that for the
past few months the Indians have in
vested all their spare cash in ammu-
milton, which is significant of dissatis-
faction arising from insufficient
rations. The settlers are fortifying
themselves and stocking up with arms
and ammunition.

TO ADJUST CLAIMS.

The Commission to Settle Behring Sea Diff
ferences Will Meet in October.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-An arrange
ment has been effected between the
United States and Great Britain in
which October is set as the time for
the assem- bling at Washington of a
commission to negotiate a treaty as
to claims of sealers on account of
Behring sea seizures. Delegates will
come from Canada to meet the authori-
ties here. The report coming from
Victoria that the British government
had vacated the sealing regulations
because of the non-payment by the
United States of 1925, 900 claimed for
seizures is said to be due to misappre-
hension. In view of the fact that the
commission will meet in October to
consider these seizures, there should
be, it is stated, no present ground Of
complaint for non-payment.

an UGLY CRISIS,
Trouble with Great Britain Concerninsrthe
Seal Fishery.


WASHTEGToN, May 15l-An ugly crisis
has been reached in the negotiations
between the United States and Great
Britain booking to the adoption of
uniform relations for the government
of the seal fishery this season. The
British government positively refuses
to re-enaet the regulations of last year,
which prohibits the carrying of firearms
by sealing vessels through the zone
north OF the twenty-ffth parallel Dur
ing the closed season. United States
officials look upon this as disastrous
to the seal fisheries, holding that
the result will be to. relieve the pelagic
sealers of the only restriction which
has operated to prevent an unlimited
slaughter of the herds. While killing
by firearms remains illegal it is, re-
allied it will be impossible to enforce
this ETohi bition if arms can be freely
carried, for the. sealers would kill Sc
cretly unless they should happen to
be under the very eye of revenue

cutters have gone out under the
old instructions to seize all vessels car

sent through the Alaska Commercial
Co.'s steamer, which leaves San Fran
cisco in a day or two, or else there may
be another big claim for damages on
account of illegal seizures fled by the
British government. The attitude of
the latter is viewed with much dissat-
isfaction at the state department,
where it is regarded as an evidence
of the unwarrantab1e concession to the
Canadian pelagic sealers. It is also
held the effect of the British action is
to practically nul1ify all measures of
protection for the seals that were con
ferred by the Paris arbitration, and it
would not be surprising if this course
is persisted in if it resulted in decla-
ration by the United States of the
abrogation of the treaty.

WAGES TO BE ADVANCED.
The Carnegie Steel Co. VIII Raise the

The Carnegie Steel Co. Will Raise the
Wages of It's $4,000 Employees.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 16.--The board
of managers of the Carnegie Steel Co.
decided last night to advance the
wages of its %, 900 employees 10 per
cent, the raise to take effect on June
1. This action is entirely opposed to
what members of the board gave out
after Saturdays meeting on the de-
mand for an increase made by the fur
mace men at the Edgar Thompson fur
naces. 1t is claimed, however, that
Mr.. Frick cabled to Andrew Car
negie in England and that the
increase was first suggested
by Mr.. Carnegie. It is not
known what effect this action will
have on the fight of the Amalgamated
association in other mills. Outside
manufacturers claim that in many in
stances the Carnegie scale is so per
cent. lower than the Amalgamated
scale. This is the first advance since
the reduction of 1892.

ST. LOUIS, May 16.-The Christian
Endeavorers will now look to Arch
bishop Kahn, of this city, to punish
Rev Father D. S. Phelan for his edi-
torial comments on their annual con-
ventions. Archbishop Kahn is in the
rural parts of his diocese administer
ing combinations, and could not be
seen yesterday. A reporter called on
Father Phelan, who said he had no
comments to make either on Mgr,
sSatollrs action or as to what Arch
bishop Kahn may or can do.
He has received many letters de
nouncing him for his utterances. The
latest is from DR.. John II. Seiffert,
Washington. He calls Father Phelan' S
article "hell-born insult" and de-
clares that he is indignant at the state
ment made, because his daughter is
an Endeavorer. Speaking of his
daughter, he says: "She is a sincere
and humble Christian, and does not
go to the Christian Endeavor meetings
to see and be with men. Your base,
hellish insult is entirely uncalled for,
and if l ever get in reach of you I'll let
you feel my presence sensibly. l may
