Uncle Sam will more cash in his
treasury at the end of this fiscal year
than he did before the war began, as
the cost Of the fight with Spain will be
far below the most conservative esu-
mates. and legislation will be needed
to prevent a congestion of money in
the national treasury. The cost of the
war, including the maintenance of gar
risons in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines, until June 80 next, seems like
ly to drop below $235, 100000. TO offset
these estimated expenditures there are
two large items of revenue, the sale Of
$780, 100000 in 3 per cent. bonds and
the collections under the new internal
revenue law. The latter were about
$13,OO0,000 in July and $12,OO0,0OO in
August If they continue to average
S12,000,000 a month, the total cOllec-
tions at the end of the fiscal year would
be about $140,000,000. These two
sources of income therefore will afford
an excess over probable disbursements
for the year of $105,000000. The treas
ury balance on March 81, when the eX-
pendtures for the war began to assume
serious importance, was $226, 166,944.
The surplus from the bonds and the
revenue will swell this balance at the
close of the fiscal year to about S331,-
100000. The current monthly receipts
from the new revenue law VIII more
than pay for the maintenance of gar
risOns in all the former Spanish pos
sessions, and the treasury Will still
have on hand the largest balance OF
many years, consisting of more than
two-thirds in gold. Gen. Shafter has
informed the War Department that he
collected 100000 at Santiago In GUS
toms, duties and navigation charges
during a part of August and that the
local expenses for the custom house ana
the municipality were only about Sl2,-
600 If the handsome net revenue thus
Indicated for Santiago should be dupli-
Gated at Havana, San Juan de Porto
Rico and Manila, the treasury might
no relieved of the expenditure Of SlO,-
600 600 per month set down for garrl-
SONS from November till June, and an
other sum of SSOO00,000 added to the
available surplus. A great congestion
of money in the treasury Ike TINS
would call for legislation TO reduce the
amount, restore the currency TO the
channels of circulation and guard
against congestion in the future.

The brilliant charge of the Twenty
first Lancers at the great battle OF ON
durham has given that regiment place
in history scarcely inferior to that OF
the light brigade at Balaklava, and En-
glish papers are full of accounts of its
history in connection with its newly
won hon0rs. Though on its present
footing it is the youngest Of the cavalry
regiments of the British army, the first
to bear the name was organized in 1854,
and after serving through the great
wars of the NapOleonic era and in al
most every quarter of the globe was
disbanded in 1920. Its fame as a regi-
ment in history is married only by the
memory of Lieut. Gen WhitelOCk, who
was court-martialed for his blunder-
ings in the Buenos Ayres campaign Of
1907 and declared ito be totally unfit
and unworthy to serve his Majesty in
any military capacity whatever From
1920 to 1861 the Twenty-tirst disap-
peared from the roster of British reGi-
ments, but since the latter date it has
had it's share of the various wars in
India and Africa IN which England has
been engaged. A detachment of the
Twenty-frst went up the Nile with
Lord Wolseley in 1884 and was engaged
at Abu Klea. Afterward the regiment
went to India, serving there until 1896,
when it was transferred to Egypt to
take part in the present Nile expedition.
Its record in the Anglo-E Egyptian army
had been an excellent one previous to
the browning victory of Omdurman.
Now it has a place second to none in
the British army.

The Groundwork of "a Good Comedy

A remarkable wedding occurred at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. c. o. Mckee,
near Wilmington, Ohio, recently, when
twin sisters, Misses AIDA and Alma
Mckee. became the brides of twin
brothers, William and Frank Brindle.
William paired with AIDA and Frank
with Alma. The extraordinary likeness
between the twins pair for pair, has
been the occasion of much confusion
and fun. the two brothers and the two
sisters are so much alike, inter Sc, that
everybody but their parents long since
gave up distinguishing between them.
The brothers might as well look in
mirror as at each other; so also the
sisters VIII and Frank dress precise
" alike: so do AIDA and Alma. The
Brindle twins never made friends until
they met the Mckee twins, and vice

predict that, except as curiosities of
the past, the next generation will know
them no more.

One of the most interesting and i'm
portant of recent contributions to the
science Of oceanography is the chart
and paper recently presented to the
Royal Society of London by Sir John
Murray, naturalist to the famous Chal-
lenger expedition of 1873. The cele-
DRAFTED Scottish geographer and scien-
fist has spent many years in the prep
aration of the chart he has now given
to the world, and its practical utility is
even greater than it's scientific interest.
1t was made as a result of numerous
sea surveys by himself and Others, and
shows the annual range of surface tenn
perature of the ocean for every two de-
grees square from the Arctic to the
Antarctic circle. The value of such a
chart will readily be recognized by sea-
men, though Mr.. Murray concerns him
self chiefly with the relation Of marine
temperature to biological phenomena.
Every one knows that SEA- temperature
is more uniform than that OF the land
but it is somewhat surprising to learn
from these charts that the mean daily
range of temperature of the surface
waters of the Atlantic is only s OF a
degree, and that It is probable that no.
where on the ocean is there a greater
daily change average than l degree
Fahrenheit, whereas on land range Of
81 degrees has been observed in South
America in four hours.

KILLED In the Fight.

Muskogee, March 21.-A das
tardly outrage was committed
Saturday night near the town
of Wybark, five miles north OF
here, resulting III the death of
two men and a woman. The
house of Ed Chalmers, a negro.
who. recently married a white
woman, was attacked during
Tie night by six white men who
had evidently determined to
murder both the negro and his
wife. both of whom had been
threatened by white men who
disliked the union.
|. A door of their cabin was
broken in and both the negro
and his wife were shot down,
but not before Chalmers had
put up a good fight against mis-
assailants. The woman was
killed outright and though
Chalmers succeeded in driving
off the attacking party, they
left him mortally wounded and
he died before daylight.
Sunday morning the body of
one Matthews. all aged white
man who lived at Gibson Sta
ton, was found near the Chal-
mers cabin, pierced with a bull
let. Matthews answers the de-
scription given by Chalmers be-
fore he died of one of his as
sailants. There were evidences
that Matthews body had been
dragged from Chalmers house
to the place where it was found.
A gun lay beside the body, evil

WALL STREET AND WAR.


New York, March 22.-The
stock exchange letter says:
The board of inquiry report
is expected on Thursday and it
is thought the president will
send a message to congress
next Monday or Tuesday and
that the Cuban question will at
last be brought to head. The
business community of the coun-
try now demands quick action
and prefers war to the present
unsettled state of affairs.
1t is said tLat the president
being so affected by the news
of the dreadful suffering in
Cuba is in favor of intervention,
and the main problem is how
to make this announcement of
his policy without bringing on
a war. All in all the situation
is a critical one and sure to af-
feet the stock market.
