Pacific Coast Vessels Cannot Be Used
in Local Celebrations.
Washington, July 3.-In the execu-
tion of the broad plans for the instruc-
tion of our naval officers in squadron
drills and combined msneuvers, formu-
lated by Secretary Herbert. the summer
drills of the North Atlantic squadron,
which will begin on the 10Th inst,
will find their counterpart in a series
of squadron movements. target practice
and feet drills, to be conducted by the
Pacific station by Admiral Beardsley.
Because many of the ships naturally
attached to his station, have been nee
essarily transferred to the Atlantic sta.
ton, Admiral Beardsley will not have
as many vessels available for his drills
as will Admiral Bunce, on the Atlantic
coast. Consequently, in order to be
able to carry ont programme OF any
value, from an educational standpoint,
he must make the most of such ships as
he can command, and it will be impos-
sible, therefore, this season to with
draw any of the ships, even temporar-
lily, from the squadron to attend the
local celebrations at various points on
the Pacific coast, as has been custom
airy in the past.

RESCUE IMPOSSIBLE.
Unavailing Efforts to Bring Up the En-
tOmbed Miners.


tombed Miners.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July Lit Is q
settled fact tonight that, of the small
army Of men who entered the Inflated
Twin shaft at Pittston on Monday, not
one survives. Not only is every ap.
proach to their dark tomb barricaded
by enormous masses of rock and debris,
but it is known that in the mine there
is large quantity Of water, which ia
increasing in volume every minute.
Thus the chances of recovering the
bodies are more remote than ever.
Prominent officials say that weeks OF
months may be consumed in clearing
away the fallen coal in order to reach
the bodies of the victims. A mine
superintendent of thirty five years ex.
perience thinks the unfortunate men
have met the same fate that befell the
twenty.six miners who persisted in No.
3 slope of the Susquehana Coal Com
pany in December, 1889. The men
were caught in rush" of culm and
water from the surface. The bodies
were buried under mountain of coal
refuse. Three hundred men labored for
more than two weeks to rescue them,
but the more debris they took out the
more rushed in from the surface open.
ing. AS the task was hopeless one,
it was finally abandoned, and the por.
tion Of the mine where the men died
was closed.
Excitement at the Twin shaft in
Pittston, where nearly 100 miners are
entombed, continues today. At the
mouth of the shaft, besides the wives
and children of the entombed men,
there are hundreds of persons, not resi-
dents of Pittston alone, but visitors
from Scranton and Wikesbarre. The
wives and children of the entombed
men stand near the opening Of the
death chamber urging the rescuers to
greater efforts.
Practically nothing has been ac-
complished toward the recovery Of the
men. There is scarcely an old miner
about the opening Of the mine who does
not believe the men are all dead. The
rescuing party which went into the
mine at O'Clock came out at 2. The
foreman reports that the timbering is
going on as rapidly as possible. The
work is necessarily slow. owing to the
danger of falling rocks loosened by the
explosion. 1t is hardly possible that
the actual digging will begin before
late this afternoon. If the slope is not
completely ohoked with debris, the res
cuers may possibly be able to reach the
men within twenty. four hours Other
wise it may be two or three days.

THE YEARS DEFICIT
Ran Behind Twenty.Six Mil

NEAR FUTURE NOT PROMISING
Comparative Statement OF Receipts and
Expenditures Unsatisfactory to
Treasury Officials.

Washington, July 3.-The compare
tive statement of government receipts
and expenditures, issued today, shows
the total receipts from all sources for
the fiscal year to have been 1895, 1879,
226. and the expenditures 1852, 231,.
470, which leaves deficit for the year
of $40, 042, 244. Although there was
a surplus for June of So, 349, 40, it is
expected that the figures for July will
show deficit of at least $4,000, 900,
and probably more.
The appropriation of $1,000, 900 for
sugar bounty payment is now available,
and it is the expectation that all of the
claims will have been settled and paid
before the end of the month.
During July, the payments on &C.
count of interest, pensions and naval
appropriations will be exceptionally
large so that the deficit for the month
is likely to be above $40, 600, 900, rather
than less.
The showing for the year is far from
satisfactory to the treasury officials,
and what is equally disquieting is the
fact that the immediate future promises
nothing better.
The RECEIPTS from internal revenue
during the year amounted to $146, $685.
1854, nearly $11 500, 200 less than the
secretary's estimates sent to congress.
The customs yielded $3.50, 534,351, or
$11, 1866 less than the secretary's
estimates.
The total receipts for the year, how.
ever, showed gain of about $12, $780,.
900 over 1895.
The customs increased about So, $50, {.
900, the internal revenue about 49,.
100000. The receipts from miscellane.
Gus sources made up the balance.
The pension payments during the
year amounted to $139, 434, O46, a re-
duction of nearly So, 900, 900 from last
years payments.
The interest payments during the
year increased over $4,25O,OOO.

Work Mapped Out for the Geological
Surveyors.

Work Mapped Out for the Geological
Surveyors.
Washington, July 3.-Much work is
mapped out for the Pacific coast region
by the plan of neld operations of the
United States geological survey, as
now completed and approved. The
total appropriation for geological work
is $118, 700. Of this amount, the heads
of various parties will be intrusted
with the following allotments;
j. s. Dilcer, Oregon, and for work
in the photographic laboratory in this
city. S., 800; Bailey Willis, Washington
state and Office expenses of editing geo.
logical maps, $4,000; J. E. Spur,
Alaska, $4,000; w. Lindgren, Idaho,
81, 900.
Field work in the Pacific region will
be carried on by eight parties. J. s..
Diller will survey the Roseburg and
Crater Lake sheets of Oregon, and
make reconnaissance of the mining
region along the western slope of the
Cascade range. w. Lindgren will
map the areal geology of the Boise
City sheet of Idaho.
A party under the charge of DR.. An
drew G. Lawson, of the university of
California, will continue survey of
the Coast range of California, in the
vicinity Of San Francisco. A party
under Bailey Willis will map the Ia
coma and Seattle geological sheets Of
Washington, and later study the gla-
ciers of Mount Rainier and the mag
netic iron deposits in the vicinity Of
Snoqualmie pass.
In the allotments of the appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the photographic
work, Oregon gets only 5000, Washing
ton state $500, Idaho 81, 100. California
80, 500, and Montana $1,000. This is
the plan now being put in force: Tri-
angulation will be extended over the
area south of the Coos bay sheet, in
Oregon, and in Washington, over the
proposed Mount Stewart geological
sheet, in the Cascade range. In the
Wood river district of Idaho, triangu-
lation will be extended to control the
Red Fish lake sheet.

LABOR RIOT AT CLEVELAND

Scores of Broken Heads Given in q Po-
lice Charge.
Cleveland, O, July 2.-For nearly
month the strike at the works of the
Brown Hosting & Conveyance Com.
pany has continued, with frequent at.
tacks by strikers upon workmen who
had taken their places. At 5 O'Clock
this evening fifty employees of the
Brown company were marched from
the works under escort of eighty police
men, to the car tracks on st. Clair
street. A crowd of 1900 men, women
and boys gathered and began hooting
and kissing. Some one in the crowd
threw a big stone, which struck Patrol
man Kiedel and cut his head open.
Deputy Chief of Police Mcmahon then
gave a prearranged signal. and the
crowd was given terrible lesson.
Forty policemen swung out into line,
and the other forty closed in around
the men they were protecting. The
first forty, under command of Captain
English and Lieutenant Dunn, charged
the crowd with riot clubs, and they hit
to break heads, rushed up street, the
crowd in that direction flying, and left
a dozen men lying on the pavement
with bleeding heads. Then the police
charged twice in the opposite direction
and down side streets, using their
clubs vigorously. They scattered tho
crowd effectually, and arrested four Of
the ringleaders, after splitting the
scalp of one of them. In the meantime
the police guarding the workmen had
stopped a trolley car and sent their
charges away. No one was danger
ously hurt, so far as can be ascertained,
hut there are scores of broken heads
Serious trouble Is feared tomorrow af-
ternoon, and heavy Gordon of police
will be on the ground.

Crazy Mexican Murderess.

Yuma, Ariz., July because of
ungovernable wrath, Marian Moreno,
a Mexican girl II years old. stands in
the awful position of murderess, her
victim being her 14-year-old brother,
whom she shot and killed today as the
result of a quarrel. The brother and
sister became involved in wordy war
over some trihing matter, and soon
came to blows Marian lost all control
of herself, and, rushing into the house,
seized a loaded shotgun. She re-
turned in a moment, and, taking a
deliberate aim at her brother, shot him
dead. blowing the entire top of his head
off. At the sight Of her bloody work,
her mind gave way, and she is now a
raving maniac. She was arrested and
placed in Jail, but her condition is such
that she will in all probability be com.
mitted to the insane asylum.

The Chaf of Grain.

Whenever a grain Is threShed the
larger part OF the chaff will usually be
found under the carrier. The tined
forks will not take up all the chaff as
# drops through between the tines. 1t
is at this place in the stack that stock
will always begin to eat into the stack.
Very often they will eat so far as to
endanger the stack tipping over and
burying them. 1t is wasteful way to
feed stock anyway. Careful farmers
will throw the chaff aside at the foot
of the stack while threshing, and when
the barn is cleared of grain gather as
much of it as they can save IN the
barn for winter. 1t is an excellent sup
plement to the hay and corn FODDER,
and will be eaten to some extent Dy
animals that have grain as part OF
their ration. The chaff of grain is the
mart farthest from the root and the
part that turns to woody fibre last. In
this while it is growing, Is concen-
trated the nutrition that is afterwards
changed into grain. When grain IS
eft part of this nutrition remains in the
chaff. which is, therefore, richer IN
nutritiye value than the portion or
straw near the root.
