SUGAR BOUNTY CLAIMS.
Auditor Baldwin Busily at Work
Preparing Certificates of
Verifcation.
Later On, However, Bowler May
Again Tie Up Some of the
Payments.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 26.-In ac-
cordance with yesterdays Supreme Court
decision, Auditor Baldwin of the Treasury
Department had the most experienced of
his clerks at work to-day verifying bounty
claims embraced in the first section of the
bounty law, for which an appropriation of
$238, $50 was made.
The claimants are maple-sugar, beet and
cane producers. The amounts in the main
are small, the claimants being such as
were not paid a bounty upon sugar pro-
duced by them previous TO August %, 1894,
when the Mckinley law was repealed.
Auditor Baldwin told the CALL CORE
spondent that he would put an extra force
of clerks at work on the claims as soon as
possible, with view of expecting their
pawn emit. He hopes to be able to dispose
OF from 100 20 15o claims day. As q rule
II takes about ten days for the certificate
of the Auditor upon which warrant is
I based to reach the Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue. Auditor Baldwin told the
correspondent that he hoped by diligent
work to be able to dispose of all the claims
of this class by the end of the present fiscal
year, winch expires June 30. No claims
under the second clause of the county law,
appropriating 5000, 600, have as yet
reached Auditor Baldwin. That clause
makes provision for the compensation of
sugar producers who complied with the
Mckinley law by fling notices, etc., prior
to July 1, 1894, and who would have been
entitled TO receive license. These claims
as a rule, are for large amounts and will
not exceed 600 in number.
The sum provided by Congress will be
inadequate to satisfy the claims fled, a
deficit of little over a million being an.
ticipated. The work of prorating them.
which has just been agreed upon, will fall
to the lot OF the Auditors office, but how
soon this will be done Mr.. Baldwin was
to-day unable to say. Commissioner Mil
Ter was also ignorant as to when he would
be able to forward them to the Auditor for
verifcation and pro rata. This is a very
important matter, for in it turks an ele-
ment OF danger to sugar-producers. Unless
these claims or the warrants to satisfy
them can be placed in the hands Of
Comptroller Bowler before the expiration
of the present fiscal year he will have it in
his power, by captious ruling. to declare
that the bill carrying the appropriation
for their payment has lapsed, and he
may refuse to pay them.

liturgy, in Russian, was chanted by the
cantor M. Popoff, assisted by George Nit
ropolsky. Misses Ella ana Mamie Dabo-
witch, Misses n. and x. Mitropolsky and

fore the consular corps of the City and
many prominent American citizens, spe-
cially invited by his Imperial Russian
Majesty's Consul, V. Artsimovitch. That
portion of the chapel reserved for the
official guests was decorated with white,
red and blue, the Russian national colors.
Each Consul was in full uniform, making
an imposing military spectacle as they
stood listening to the elaborate ritual Of
the Greek Catholic church.
Among the Americans present were
Chief Justice Beatty, Irving NJ. Scott,
Horace Plat and Edward Jerome. The
Hellenic and Slovenian societies of the
City were represented.
The coronation services proper were de-
livered by Bishop Nicholas a solemn invo-
cation OF divine blessings for the EN-
peror, the ruler of the Russias, and the
head of the Greek church.
AT the close of the services in the chapel
the guests were entertained at banquet
by Consul Artsimovitch and Bishop
Nicholas. The apartment and tables
were handsomely decorated with flowers
and the colors of the two countries. On
the walls were the portraits of the newly
crowned Emperor and Empress as well as
the late Emperor aud the Dowager
Empress. At the handsome luncheon
provided toasts were drank to the two
sovereigns far away in Moscow, the ancient
capital of all the Russias. 1t was an i'm
posing spectacle around Powell and Fill
bert streets with crowd of carriages at
the church gate and the white, blue and
red of Russia, the red, white and blue of
America waving over the green cross
tipped domes.
