RUSSIAN FINANCES
A Big Deficit Eats Up the Treasury
Balance

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 21.-The in
teresting budget statement just made
bv NJ. De Witte, the Russian Minister of
Finance. shows an actual deficit of over
1O6 .OOO, 900 roubles, which is covered by
the free balance in the treasury.
M. De Witte expressed great pride in
the results of the adoption of the gold
standard, calling attention to the most
striking fact that while at the end Of
1896 only 37,000 900 roubles in gold coin
were in circulation, at the end of 1897
there were 1855 900, 900 in circulation, while
the gold in the treasury rose during the
same period by 106,000,0OO roubles.
The statement shows also that the
volume of existing bank notes has been
reduced by 122, ,00O,0 900 roubles.
Russia has now 131 per cent more gold
than paper, the total in possession of
the treasury and state banks and in cir
culation at the beginning of the pres
emf wear being: Gold, 1,4I0, 100000 rou-
bles: silver, 1862, 900, 900 foubles, and paper,
999, 900 900 roubles.
NJ De Witte contends that this shows
the ability of the reform and he trusts
that the gold standard will remain un-
shaken "even if the country is fated tc
undergo severe trials" He reiterated
his intention to adhere to the protective
system

terrific force, tipping some Of them over
and carrying others away across the
ice. Many of the persons received Sc
we're cuts and bruises. The wind on
shore was so fierce that the Ice, weak
ened by rain that morning, began 10
crack and break along the shore. A line
of blue water that marked the break
began to widen with alarming speed.
Men and women began a mad rush TO-
ward the shore, from which relief par
ties in small boats had commenced To
put off to the rescue. The shores OF Put-
in-bay were lined with relatives ana
friends of the people on the drifting ice
Rescuing parties forced their boats IN
among the broken cakes of ice at the
imminent risk of losing their own lives.
Their attention was given first to those
who had fallen into the water, and ar
ter they were all picked up those VINO
were drifting out on the cakes OF ice
were taken off. Many of those thus
benumbed and some of them were un-
conscious. The rescuers worked hero
ically in the face of great dangers ana
succeeded in bringing to shore every one
of the 200 people.

Peter Maher Is Still Alive-A Portland

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-"Yank"

scheduled to fight six rounds at the

vented O'Donnell from going on. Peter
Maher was substituted and in little

Portland Or.-The twenty-round con-
test between Billy Elmer of San Fran
cisco and Dick Case of Seattle at the
Olympic club tonight was stopped in the
second round by the police. Under the
articles of agreement the fight was to be
a draw should the police interfere before
the twenty rounds had been fought. Ref
cree Jack Lafferty therefore declared
the fight draw.
Although the fight was declared q
draw, Case had Elder practically knock
ed out before the police stepped into the
ring. Case forced the fighting and in the
first round knocked Elmer down with
left hand swings on the jaw.
In the second round Case put Elmer
through the ropes twice and three times
sent him sprawling on the floor Case
could easily have finished his man in
that round had the police not interfered.

Quick Justice

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-In the case Of
Chris Merry. the peddler, charged with
wife murder. the jury today returned a
verdict of guilty. Smith, his alleged ac-
complice, was found not guilty. The jury
was out all night.
When the verdict was read, Smith
jumped to his feet and shouted for joy.
but Judge Horton sternly commanded
him to sit down.
Bring me warrant" said the Judge.
IT want this man re-arrested as an ac-
cessory to the murder after the fact, and
I want him indicted by the Grand Jury
today"
This had the effect Of cooling Smiths
spirits, but he soon recovered and looked
with pity on his fellow prisoner.
Colonel Davidson, of the defense, made
a motion for new trial. the date for
argument being left over, and Merry was
led back to Jail. Smith remained In the
courtroom until a bench warrant was
secured and he was held to the Grand
jury under $40, 900 bonds. The conviction
of Merry two months after the commits
sion of his crime. is said to be the quick
est legal punishment ever dealt out to

COLD AND HUNGER
Dreadful Suffering Among Nova
Scotia Fishermen

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Alarming news
has been received concerning the fish
ermen residing in East Dover, Shad Bay
and other villages along the western
shore of Halifax county, says Halifax
IN. S. special to the World. Many Of
the families are starving, and destitu-
ton exists all along the shore. The
Mayor has been requested to forward
food and clothing Immediately to the
sufferers, and a committee has been or
ganized to proceed in haste to the scene.
There have been five successive failures
of the fisheries, and more than three
hundred persons are living solely on
corn meal and water while others have
nothing. More than one hundred houses
have been visited, and in ninety-three
there was no food or fire, and the fam
lilies were naked and starving. Many
families had eaten nothing for five days.
A number of small children have been
badly frozen. One family was found
huddled in a small, unfurnished room, on
the floor of which ice had fomed during
the week. This family and others had
existed for days on a scanty supply of
corn meal mixed in cold water.
The herald., 1898-01-22

there was no ground for such fears. Con-
tinuing, he denied that the government
was composed of clericals or that 1t was
under pontifical direction, adding that
the co-called clerical peril was only put
forward to divert attention from the So
cialist and revolutionary peril.
Ex-Minister Goblet then moved the
separation of church and state, which
was defeated by 319 to 1872 votIs.
Several members denounced the inter-
ference of Chief Rabbi Zaddockan in the
Esterhazy affair, whereupon M. Melard
replied that if the chief rabbi had acted
improperly he could be deprived of his
salary.
NJ. de Mahy called attention to the
propaganda of English and German
pastors in various parts of France, de-
nouncing them amid applause as spies
and as being a "veritable peril to the
existence of the fatherland"
The estimates were then adopted
M. Detrieux moved the denunciation
of the Concordat Cor understanding be-
tween the French government and the

The motion was defeated by vote Of

Can't Spare Menocal

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The Herald's
correspondent with the United States
Nicaraguan Commission. in dispatch
from Managua, says:
1.-THE canal commission desires to re-
auire the authorities in Washington to
allow Civil Engineer Menocal, who has
been ordered to return to the United
States in connection with the defects
of the dry dock at Brooklyn, to remain
with the party for at least five weeks.
1.-THE commission points out that this
is most important in order to continue
the work, as Mr.. Menocars presence is
necessary.
TT is asserted that British influence
has been thrown against the canal
project by the directors of the London
Bank of Central America, because of
differences between the bank and the
government growing out of a contract
Congress has declared as illegal the
change of the name of the Bank Of Mic
aragua to the London Bank Of Central
America"

NOBODY LOST

SANDUSKY, o., Jan. 21.-The steam

disaster off Put-inbay by which the
lives of POO people were placed in immi-

numbers of the residents of the island
region engage in fishing through the ice.
Small houses large enough to accom-
modate two to six people are taken out
on the lake on sleds, holes are cut
through the ice and the houses, which
have apertures are placed over the
holes. Quite as many women as men
occupy the houses. Yesterday while
about 200 men and women were in the
little houses a fierce gale sprung up sud

between fifty and sixty miles an hour.

GATHERING EVIDENCE
TO PROVE GEORGE CLARK TO BE
A MURDERER
Incriminated by His Own Foolish
Attempts to Mislead the Officers
of Justice

ST. HELENA, Cal, Jan. 21.-The
chain of evidence connecting George
Clarke with the murder of his brother
William yesterday morning Is being
made stronger. 1t has been found that
on the morning of the murder George
set his alarm clock for 4:30 o'clock The
murder was committed at 5, and al
though it was evident George had IN
tended to rise early, yet when the ofi-
GERS went to his room at George was
apparently sleeping. His boots were
covered with fresh mud and fitted ex-
actly the tracks from his cottage to MS
brothers house, although George says
he was not out from early the previous
night. A paper has been found contain
ing statement purporting to have been
written by the murdered man, which
says he is tired of life and intends to
commit suicide; that he had placed the
strychnine in his coffee and that George
is innocent"
A box of cartridges was found in
Georges room. George at first denied
the ownership of the pistol found be-
side his brothers dead body, but SUBJ
seauently admitted he had bought the
weapon a few weeks ago and says 1t was
stolen from him few days later.
George Clarke denies all knowledge Of
the crime and declares his brother took
his own life. He adds, however. that
if it is clearly proved that his brother
was murdered he can implicate per-
son whom no one at present suspects.
Many rumors are in circulation to the
effect that another is equally as blame
worthy as the prisoner. and predictions
are made that the trial will develop some
decided sensations. 1t has been freely
stated that George Clarke was infatua-
ted with his brothers wife, although
absolutely no proof of this assertion has
developed. The prisoner has been taken
to Napa and lodged in the county Jail.
George Clarke is tall and slight Of a
fighty disposition. and it has often been
said that he is mentally unsound. He is
very excitabie and nervous, and many
believe that if he is guilty he will prob
ably break down and confess before his
| trial is over.
