So Brief I'm Wording That OnIv
Twelve Minutes Was Consumed
In It's Reading.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The presi-
dents message was sent to congress
late this afternoon, contrary to expec-
tation. 1t was devoted to the neces-
s1ty of securing more revenue for the
conduct of the business of the govern
ment. He called attention to the is
suance of $262, COO, 900 bonds in the last
administration, as a reason for more
revenue. He said that for the past
four years there has been a deficit of
$137, $1,000. For the month of January.
last, the deficit was IS, 900, and for
February, $4,395,OOO.
Not only" he said, ARE we without
a surplus in the treasury, but we have
increased the national debt with de-
creasing receipts"
Continuing, he said ample revenue
was necessary to strengthen confidence
and meet current obligations. He said
the passage of a tariff law was the i'm
perative demand of the hour, and in
conclusion urged that this be done be-
fore other business should be tran
sacted
Congress, he said, should promptly
provide ample means to liquidate the
public debt to meet all the obligations
OF the government, to pay pensions.
and all other accommodating indebted
ness. In levying duties care should
be taken to give proper safeguards of
protection to our own industries, in
order that our factories, mines and in
dustries may be encouraged, and that
labor may receive its adequate reward
The message was brief, the reading
consuming only twelve minutes.

This season of the year is the
most suitable for the use of the
well-known Carlsbad Sprudel Salt.
Since five centuries It has been
acknowledged by the medical
faculty to be the best and most
effective mineral salt for all
ailments of the liver, catarrhal
affections of the stomach, bile,
bile pigment, gallstones, tenn
porary and habitual constipation,
&c.
Millions of people all over the
world have been cured by the use
of this celebrated spring, and it
deserves to be made known to all
suffering from above and kindred
diseases who have not heard of it
or used it before. 1t acts mildly
without pain, and regulates the

friends in the city.

means to send relief boats to the over

M'KLNLEY'S MESSAGE.
Full Text of His Communication to
the Two Houses.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-The pres
ident today sent the following message
to congress: s- is
To the Congress of the United States:
Regrettlng the necessity which has
required me to call you together, 1 feel
That your assembling in extraordinary
session is indispensable, because of the
condition in which we find the reve-
nues of the government 1t is conceded
that its current expenditures are great
er than its receipts, and that such
condition has existed for now more
than three years. With unlimited
means at our command, we are pre-
sentlng the remarkable spectacle of in
Creasing our public debt by borrow
ing money to meet the ordinary OUTLAWS
incident upon even an economical ana
prudent administration of the govern
ment
An examination of the subject dis
closes this fact in every detail and
leads inevitably to the conclusion that
the condition of the revenue which al
lows it is unjustifiable and should be
corrected. We find by the reports of
the secretary of the treasury that the
revenues for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1892, from all sources, were
$425,S6S, 260.22, and the expenditures for
ell purposes were SALE, S53 SOC. Sc.
leaving an excess of receipts
over expenditures or $9, 914 453 S.
During that fiscal year SAC, $40, SCI. 80
were paid upon the public debt, which
had been reduced since March 1, 1859.
$z59,076,8 800, and the annual interest
charge decreased 81, 684 1850.
The receipts of the government from
all sources during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1893, amounted to S461.
716, 561.94 and it's expenditures to $459.-
374, SS7.65. showing an excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures of 81, 341, STA. 20.
Since that time the receipts of no fiscal
year, and with but few exceptions Of
no month of any fiscal year have eX-
ceeded the expenditures, The receipts
of the government from all sources
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
1894, were 1912, 1872, 49S 90 and its expend-
itures $442, sos, 750.37! leaving a deficit,
the first since the resumption of specie
payment, OF $69, Sc3, 26g5S. Notwithstand-
Ing there was a decrease of SIG, 769-
1878 in the ordinary expenses of the
government, as compared with the
previous fiscal year, its income was
still not sufficient to provide for its
daily necessity, and the gold reserve in

PLYMOUTH PASTOR KILLED.
Rev. G. III. Wells Run Down by an
Express at Milwaukee.

Dispatches from Milwaukee say that
Rev. G. H. Wells, formerly pastor of
Plymouth Congregational church, in
this city, was killed by a train Satur-
day night. He died alone near the
station of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway at WauwatoSa, a Su-
burb of Milwaukee. Pain Wracked and
faltering of mind, the victim Of nervous
prostration, he probably sought death.
He faced the locomotive. His wounds
might possibly indicate that he died
as dies man who seeks death.
On Saturday, accompanied by his
brother, DR.. Wells went to Milwaukee
from Dover, ILL.,, and entered the Wau-
WatoSa Sanltarium as voluntary
patient. Sunday his body was found
on the tracks a half mile east of the
WauWatoSa depot.
The theory that DR.. Wells committed
suicide is not credited by the police
and coroner. In the opinion of three
detectives who investigated the case,
death was due to an accident Satur-
day evening, when unobserved by at
PENDANTS, he took his satchel and Slip
ped away from the sanitarium Short
ly after, an attendant noticed his alb
sence and started toward the village
Of WauwatOsa to bring him back but
DR.. Wells could not be found. At II
o'clock Sunday his body was found
From the position in which the body
lay, it could be seen that the train
had struck him before the storm set
III Saturday night, because no snow
was found under the body, while his
clothes and face were partly covered
with snow. The body lay in a position
that indicated that he had been struck
from in front and the wounds that
killed him showed that he must have
walked directly into the train. 1t is
thought that after he left the sanitar-
ium he started toward the city and
walked into the westbound train which
leaves the city at o'clock. When
the train struck him he was hurled
beside the track and was cut about the
forehead There is a sharp curve near
where he was found and 1t is believed
he did not notice the approach Of the
train until it was upon him and was
struck down before he could recover
from the surprise and step aside.
The body was removed to Judson's
undertaking establishment in Wauwa-
tosa where 1T will be prepared for shin
ment. His brother, from Dover. nj
is on the ground and will take the re,
mains to Dover. He is of the op;nio,
that DR.. Wells intended returning to
Milwaukee and then going to Dover
but that he was run down by the train
and killed. Further Investigation will
not be made, unless unlocked for de-
.velopments occur this afternoon a.
Mr.. Wells is satisfied that his bro her
was accidentally killed.

DEATH'S WORK DONE BY FLOOD.
ARKANSAS COUNTY INUNDATED.

WASHINGTON, March Is, s p. M
The weather bureaus reports from the
central valley indicate continued rise
in the lower Mississippi river during
the next ten days or two weeks, and
from the water now IN sight and rain
fall likely to occur within the next few
days, it is probable the impending
flood will prove very destructive in Ar
kansas and Northern Louisiana
The most destructive overflow is like
ly to occur between the mouth of the
Arkansas and the mouth of the Red
river and the observers Of the weather
bureau in that region have been di-
rected to warn the public generally of
the approaching danger. The flood will
probably attain it's maximum stage in
the threatened region about April l.
The notice is based upon the present
river conditions as compared with
those attending previous floods

surely not grudge a short ride to Anti
qua, the ruined capital Of the Spanish
Viceroys. A visit to the thirty odd
churches and monasteries alone would
well repay the tourist. Hills and vol
canoes surround the city on every side,
as though guarding this earthly para
disc from the intrusion of foreign
hordes. Few buildings have escaped
the terrible throes Of the monsters
which tower 10000 or more feet above
the devoted city. First in 1414, and
then every few years till 1773, when
most Of the inhabitants fed, the peo-
pie stood the terrors of earthquake and
flood, every time losing lives and prop
erty. Still, there are over 10000 In
habitants now ON the site Of these dis
asters. Indian towns stud the sides
of the volcanoes, each tribe having it's
own peculiar customs and dress All
these people are industrious, making
pottery, baskets and woodenware, and
others work on the nearby coffee and

away as many believe, and there is
