means of increasing our revenues ~

The senator declared the crisis was far
graver than was known. He hoped the
real deficiency of the treasury would be
disclosed in response to tho senate reso-
lutions. 1t was time the country knew 1T.
He had hoped the oil GERS charged with
the highest executive duties would appre-
ciate the gravity of the conditions as to
the lack of revenues ami would make
them plain to congress. In the present
grave emergency. he DID not fear that the
senate would be found Impotent.

said he. "If in no other way, /, will place

lie did not care what the details of this

that of the democratic senators.
Hill was at once on his feet asking why
the senator from Maryland had not al

wanted them to pass and would move TO

Allison's resolution calling on tho sec

of the gold reserve for current expenses

HORROR UPON HORROR
Nearly Four Hundred LiT,S Lost in the
E!b3 Disaster.
MANY PATHETIC INCIDENTS
Those Who We're Drowned Suf-
fered Less Than Those Who
Escaped The Crew acted
the Part of Cowards.

LowEsTOFT, Eng, Jan. 3i.-Tho agent
of the North German Lloyd Steamship
company this morning sent a dispatch
tug to the scene Of tue Z. be dis
aster, but owing TO the bad weather
nothing could be seen. A5 far as
can be ascertained. 37i passengers
and the crew OF the Eibe are missing.
The coast guards and customs officers
kept an active watch all night for any
signs of survivors. The majority of the
people here have abandoned ali nope that
any more people will be rescued.
Carl Hoffman, who was rescued in 4 life
boat, speaking of tho disaster this morn
ing said: Those drowned suffered less
than those saved. There was no con-
fusion among the passengers. They be-
haved we'll, and only confusion was with
the crew in the effort to save themselves.
Ii seems strange that among the
few saved there are - members of
the crew. Many of the passengers had
life belts. but they were useless. When l
entered the boat they took my wife and
boy from me, ordering them to 20 on the
other side of the ship. Had l known it
was not tho captain who ordered the
women and children they never would
have taken them, but | have been mill
tary man and obeyed orders"
Hoffman's wife was born in Nebraska
and her mother now lives at Grand
Island.
The rescued officers of the Elbe started
for London at D 40 o'clock. Before they
left n correspondent of the associated
press showed them the statement OF
| Captain G. lrdou of the Crathie.
Third Officer Stollberg promptly denied
that no signals of distress we're
made from tho Elbe. lie argued that
white and blue rockets were fired after
the collision and that they shot up SO high
that it was impossible for the Crathie not
TO SEQ or understand them.
! A dispatch received from Ramsgate
this afternoon announces the liieboat of
that place returned after having been Is
| hours at sea looking for survivors of the
| Elbe. NJ trace of either the missing life
boat or wreckage was found.

SENTENCE OF THE RoBINsoNs.
Clarence Goes I'D for Life and Sadie
for Twenty YenrN.

Buffalo. N Y. March 21.-"Twelve good
men and true" the jury selected to de-
termine the fate of Clarence and Sadie
Robinson, came into court a 10 O'Clock this
morning and reported their verdict that
Clarence was guilty of murder in the
second degree and Sadie guilty of man.
slaughter in the first degree. Clarence
Robinson was sentenced to life imprison-
ment and Sade Robinson to twenty years.
1t was a night of terrible anxiety 10
Clarence and Sadie as they sat in their
cells in the Erie county Jail and waited
for the decision of these twelve men.
There was little doubt that it would be
one or the other, and the only question
was which. But little sleep visited the
prisoners during the long hours of the
night. Sadie was particularly nervous,
alternately pacing her cell and throwing
herself on her cot. A ray of hope came
to them when the jury failed to report
when court was opened at o'clock last
evening, and they took it as an omen
that justice was to be tempered with
mercy in the punishment awarded for
their crime. At 2:40 o'clock this morning
after weary hours of elaboration, the jury
reached an agreement The verdict was
recorded and sealed. and then the jurors
repaired TO the Jail to pass the remain
der of the night.
The murder of Montgomery Gibbs,
yciInhs Buffalo lawyer. about a year
ago, was for several months a profound
mystery, and had it not been for wo-
mans spiteful and impulsve remark, the
murderer might never have been appre-
hended. Mr.. Gibbs was walking alone up
a residence street bordered with man
sions brilliant with lights about 10 o'clock
in the evening. Suddenly three pistol shots
rang out in quick succession and Gibbs
was found dying from a bullet wound in
the head. lying in the driveway leading to
a fashionable residence. He expired with
out uttering a word. His assailants had
vanished and left nothing as a clew to
their identity. The only persons who
claimed to have seen his assailants were
two messenger boys, who said they saw
two men run away from the spot where
the firing occurred. but the police were
unable on experiment to see the same dis
lance under the same circumstances as
the boys declared they did. so their evil
dence was thought of little worth.
A reporter found what he thought were
the footprints of a woman near the spot.
No arrests were made until several
months later. The Buffalo police received
word from the police of Cleveland that
they had Clarence Robinson under arrest.
His wife had betrayed him in an angry
conversation with one of his relatives.
Assistant Superintendent Cusack of the
Buffalo police went to Cleveland and ar
rested Robinson's wife, Sadie. who con-
fessed that she killed Gibbs herself. but
refused to give any details.
Robinson learning that his wife was
under arrest, made a clean breast of the
matter telling how he and his wife had
gone out to "hold up" somebody that
night, Sadie being attired as a man. Mr..
Gibbs had resisted and in the tussel he
had been shot.

COUNTY TAX on THE F. c. AND p.
The Recent Decision in Florida to
lie Hard TO Reverse.

Tallahassee Fla, March 2i.-The chief
topic of conversation in the capital city
is the decision of the supreme court in
favor of the state for $4,000 back taxes
against the Florida Central and PENN
sular Railroad Company Should the
railroad take an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States. with the hope
of reversing the Judgment Of the Florida
supreme court. It would probably be upon
the ground that the statute authorizing
the assessment and collection OF these
back taxes impairs the obligation of a con
tract That is the federal question in
volved, if any is Involved at all.
1t is claimed by the railroad that it's
lines Of road are exempt from taxation
by the internal improvement act of Flor
ida, so it is said. But this question is
res ad judicata in the supreme court of
the United States, II having been so de-
termined against such a contention in
the suit of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad against Palmer. This case or
iginated in Escambia county, and from
the state supreme court went to the
supreme court of the United States. and
was decided by that court in October 1888.
That court decided that where the Flor
ida railroad built under the internal inn
provement act, were sold subsequent to
their completion, ana passed into other
hands, that their charter exemption ceas-
ed. The lines of road belonging to the
Florida Central and Peninsular system
were sold previous to the years for which
there back taxes are claimed. and the
railroad cannot, 1t Is thought avail itself
of a defense already pronounced untena-
BILE by the supreme court Of the United
States.
The supreme court of Florida disposed
of this portion of the railroads argument
before it, in this recent decision, by sim
ply declaring that such claim OF exemp-
tion by the road had been decided by the
United States supreme court, and that
such declaration was now settled law in
this court. .,.-r

set out in detail with names and accom-

action which will make interesting read
ing. Some weeks ago Mr.. Morton wrote
to the purchasing agent OF the seed d.
vision OF the department informing him
that members OF congress had been
charged with disposing Of their seeds in
way other than was contemplated by
law. and instructing him to either verify
or disprove these charges in the most
substantial way.
In less than a week the agent brought
to the secretary the written order of a
member of the House of Representatives
for his entire quota of seeds. which he
proposed to sell to the departments agent
for the sum of SIS. The purchase was di-
rected to be made and Instead OF cash the
agent gave his check. which was prop
erly Endorsed by the vender and the money
was Withdrawn from bank So it happens
that Secretary Morton now has the seeds
issued to this member. turned over on his
written order and also the check through
which the money was paid, and bearing
the signature of the member who sold the
seeds. The department officials decline
to mention the name Of the congressman
now or to locate him, but the assurance
is given that the whole transaction, names
and all, will appear in the report as a
striking example of the evil to which the
secretary has so frequently called the
attention Of congress.
The full quota of seeds furnished
member of congress by the department
consists. on an average. of 1.40e packages
of flower seeds, 1900 of vegetables, and
eighty-two quarts of field seeds, grasses,
etc. The total cost Of this quota to the
department is between 1925 and $245. The
department in this transaction got the
whole lot back for $75 The secretary is
making an effort to abolish the free dis
tribution of seeds entirely, for the reason
that it has grown into an evil that was
never contemplated when the original law
was enacted.
