ex-Treasurcr.


Tacoma, Nov. 10.-Special.-In the trial
OF the hurry injunction case today, In
volving the funding of the outstanding
warrants. an important fact was made
public 1t was the discovery of a copy
ing book that had been made in the city
treasurer's office by Treasurer Boggs.
On IL were copied lists of warrants which
Boggs had redeemed out of the order of
their issue. or had bought with city
money and afterward sold to banks and
brokers. For those that were deposited
in the banks that have since failed the
city has received practically nothing. and
Mr.. hurry alleges In his complaint that
payment OF all OF them should be re-
fused. on the ground that their purchase
by Boggs Cancelled them and rendered
them no longer an obligation against the
city.
The book was found by Receiver Filling
hast among the books and property of the
Columbia National bank when he took
charge of that institution. succeeding Act
ing Receiver Clary. Ii is said that an eff
fort was made to recover the book by
some one In Boggs' interest but Receiver
Till.nghast held on TO II. 1t was turned
over TO the court.
S. T. Armstrong. formerly deputy treas
urer under Boggs. testified positively that
Boggs was in the habit of buying war
rants as fast as they were issued. and de-
posted them In banks or sold them 10
warrant buyers.

The vessel was of the Columbia Friday

AwAITINGTHE MONSOON.


Madras. India, Nov. l0.--Anxiety Is felt
here at the absenc, OF the northeast mon
socn. But the conditions are much more
favorable than they were IN 1877. whenpre-
vtous bad seasons had exhausted me re-
sources Of the villages and no proper re-
lief organizations existed.
It is believed now that grain has been
stored In considerable quantities. and the
government Is fully prepared for emer-
gcncics. The afflicted area Is at present
restricted to rhe coded districts, where
tentative relief works have been started
Should the monsoon fail completely and
the district around Madras become de-
pendent upon tank irrigation, n docs not
follow that the people VIII suffer from the
failure of the crops, because there are
good harvests in the southern portions OF
Malabar and Kanara-
The circumstance is fortunate because
Bengal and Burmah will be unable 10 sup
ply as enormous quantities OF rice as they
did in 1877.
