LAMONT ADVANCEsTHE MONEY
He will Pay officers and Men of the
Army for the Last Year.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 80. - Secre-
tary Lamont has been seriously consid
ering, but it is not true that he has de-
cided personally to advance the amount
of the deficiency in the appropriation for
pay of the officers and men of the army
for the last fiscal year, amounting to
about $4,000.
The Secretary's friends in the depart
ment have advised him against taking
the risk which would be involved in
making this advance The Secretary,
when questioned about the matter, would
only say that he had authoriz d no state
ment that he would make good the def
cheney. This is understood by others in
the department to mean that he had not
yet reached a conclusion.
There is prospect for an army defic-
iency of about $500, 900 for the current
year. A large part of this will be due to
the abolishment by Congress of the sys-
TEN for Withholding part of the pay
of recruits and the passage of a law at
the last session requiring the payment
of the amount withheld without making
adequate provision in the appropriation
for this payment. About 100000 had
accumulated IN this fund, which has to
be paid out.

HEAVY GOLD AIS.
But the Syndicate is Still Protecting
the Treasury.

New YORK, Aug. 30.-The total with
drawals of gold from the sub-treasury
to-day amounted to So, $50, 900 Just be-
fore the close, the government bond syn
dicate deposited one million in gold in
the sub treasury for which they took
legal tenders. This leaves the reserve
stnl above the $1O0, 900, 900 point.
The gold shipments by -morrow's
steamship promise to be very large.
Handy & Harmon will ship $100, 900 and
Steinwender & Stoffregen $3.50, 900
Hard & Rand viii ship $3.50, 900, and
Nesslage & Fuller have increased by $50, !,
900 their gold engagements made
earlier in the week for 800, 900.
Crossman & Bro. have decided to in
crease their shipment to 81, 800, 900.
Some of the gold has already been en-
gagged at the suD-treasury, and it is
likely that all the shippers with the ex-
ception of Handy & Harmon,
will get their gold at the sub -trea ury.
Oelrichs & Co, will also send
away $3.50, 900 in gold. These big with
drawals would naturally brig the gold
reserve below the 500, 000,000 point,
but as expected, the government bond
syndicate placed $l,000,000 gold in the
sub treasury before the close of business
to day, so as to maintain the reserve
above 300, 900. 900.

RANSOM is UNLUCkY
TROUBLES In REGARD TO HIS
APPOINTMENT ARE NOT
YET ENDED.
He WILL NOT GET HIS SALARY

The Deputy Auditor Holds That, as
his First Appointment was Illegal,
his Last Appointment is Recess APP
pointment and Must be Confirmed by
the Senate Before he can Pay the
SaIary.- Minister Ransom Leaves To-
night for Mexico.
WASHINGTON, D. G. Aug. 30.-Minis-
ter Ransom's troub es have not ceased.
First his salary was withheld for months,
then his appointment as minister was
declared Illegal and the Office vacated.
1t was thought the re-appointment by
the President on August "a would end
the complications but Deputy Auditor of
the Treasury Willie has decided that
Minister Ransom can not draw his salary
until he is confirmed by the Senate. The
provision of law upon which he bases his
opinion is as follows:
ssNo money shall be paid from the
Treasury as salary to any person appoin-
ted during recess of the Senate TO fill
a vacancy in any existing office if the
vacancy existed while the Senate was in
session and was by law required to be
filed by or. under the advice and con-
sent of the Senate until sCch appointee
has been confirmed by the Senate"
Mr.. Willie holds that the decision of
his chief auditor Holcomb, that Mr.. Ran
SONS frs appointment was illegal, and
that he was, therefore. not entitled to
draw salary meant nothing, if it
did not mean that since the death of
Minister Gray there has been no Minis
ter to Mexico. That being the case, he
holds that Mr.. Ransom's appointment
now comes under the provision of law
quoted, as recess appointment, made
to fill vacancy Existing while the
Senate was IN session. A further
question is raised as to whether, when
confirmed, Mr.. Ransom's accrued salary
since the date Of his last appointment
can be paid, or whether he will have to
look for relief to Congress, as in the case
of his first appointment, but on this
point Mr.. Willie is not prepared to ex-
press an opinion.
Minister Ransom was at the state
Department again to day and announced
his intention Of starting for Mexico to-
morrow night.

EXCURSION TRAIN WRECKED
Two Passengers Killed and Several
Others Likely to Die.

MACON, Ga, Aug. 30.-An excursion
train on the Southern Railway, carrying
the Knights of Pythias excursion from
this city to Indian Springs for picnic,
left the track between Holton and Pope's
Ferry. The baggage car and two pas
senger coaches turned over. j. A. Ken
nedy, of this city, and Mrs. Hancock, of
Americus, Ga, were killed, and almost
every person in the two coaches was hurt
more or less seriously. Several of them
are likely to die.
There is 10 way of accounting for the
accident, as it is said the track was in
perfect condition.
None of the injured in today's acci-
dent of the Southern Railway are likely
to die, though number of them are
quite seriously injured. The total num-
Der of those who sustained injuries of a
more or less serious character will reach
fifty.

HOME RULE FOR CUBA.
The Leaders of the AutonomIst Party
Outline a Policy.

HAVANA, Aug. 30.-At reunion last
night of the leaders of the Au' onomist
party, an agreement was entered into
providing for an active propaganda in
the interest of the party. An effort will
be made to bring to the attention of the
Spanish Government, the necessity of the
establishment of the principle of home
rule, thus, it is hoped, satisfying the
liberal elements, and putting an end to
the struggle with the insurgents. By this
means, it is thought that the insurgents
who, acting in good faith, have taken up
arms against the government, may be
induced TO surrender.

THE FLEETWOOD RACES.
The Meeting May Be Brought TO a
Close BY the Police. -sn-

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.--It is altogether
probable that the trotting meeting in
progress at Fleetwood Park will be
brought to close by the police. Acting
Chief Conlan said day that if the de-
cision that the Percy Grey racing bill is
unconstitutional, reaches him, he will
have Inspector McCulloh proceed imme-
diately to Fleetwood Park and close the
meeting. He said he had not yet re-
ceived any official notification that
racing for sweepstakes was unconstitu-
tional, and until he is in receipt of an
official notice, that such is the case, he
will take no action in the matter.

THE RAvAGEs OF BOIL WORMS.
They are Much Worse Than the

VIoKsBURG, Miss, Aug 30 The
Commercial Herald prints an interview
with Warden Jenkins Of the State Peni-

ravages of boil worms in the Delta are
much worse than the planters are willing
to believe. He has just returned from
Bolivar and Washington counties, where
these pests are almost universally prevail
ent and thinks they have destroyed a
third of the crop. He reports them as
also active in Tallahatchie, Lefiore,
Sunfower, Holmes, Issaquena and

GREAT FALLING OFF IN TEXAS.
The Cotton Crop is 35 Per Cent. Below
That of Last Year.

GALVESTON, Texas, Aug. 30.-The
report for this season, indicating a de-
crease of IS per cent. compared with last
year.
Complaint is universal in central,
east and north T xas of boil worms,
sharp shooters and shedding. In north
east Texas, too much rain fell, and as a
consequence the plant is fruiting badly.
The most conservative estimate that can
be made is crop of 35 per cent. below
that of asst year. What Texas has lost
in cotton is more than made up in the
immense corn crop, which is now be-
yond the point where it can be damaged.

the commercial success of the under

from Birmingham pig by the open hearth
basic process. Large quantities of this
pig have been successfully handled by

HAD THE CHIN YUEN.
coMmANDrR of THr CHINESE IRON
CLAD AN AMERICAN
Graduate of Annapolis -- Tells Of ths
Nsiu Engagement Hard
Fighting.

A New York dispatch says that
Commander p. N. McGifiin. who
had command Of the Chinese iron
clad Chin-Nuen at the battle Ct
Yalu, has arrived there from Liver
pool, and is stopping at the Astor
House. The commander received
number of wounds in the fight,
and is still somewhat deaf lie
has a tattered uniform Of the Chi
nese navy, which he wore on the
Chin Yuen during the naval battle.
He says that il was a stubborn
fight. and was lost 10 the Chinese
chiefly because they had no shells
to use except iron ones. The Jap
anese were well supplied with shell.
which did great execution. The
Chinese shot passed through the en-
emy's ships without doing any
great damage. The commander
believes that the Chinese seamen are
brave and skillful, and would make
good fighters if they could only
trust their leaders. The Chinese
gunners fired as true as the Japan
ese men, but did not do so much
damage on account Of the quality Of
the shot
The Commander had some very
narrow escapes during the Yalu
battle. At one time he was direct
ly in front of the mouth OF twelve
inch gun on his ship as the gunner
was swinging it into place to fire.
He closed his eyes and waited for
certain death. He opened them in
few seconds and rolled off the
superstructure just before the gun
went off. The Commander
carriestwo wounds in his left
thigh and another over his
abdomen from fragments Of
shell. Commodore Lin was sup
posed to be in command, but was
down in his room praying TO the
gods to preserve him. The Com
mander will go to his home at
Washington. Pa. in a few days.
Mr.. McCiffin has been in the
Chinese naval service for twelve
years. He is a graduate of An
napolis. He founded the naval in
stitute at Wei-Hai-Wei and did
considerable surveying in Corea.
This hero Of the war in the
East has a brother in Hawaii,
Thos. McGiffiin Of Honolulu.
