i'm which some of the ladies have taken
hold of the respective parts assigned
them, and the success of the entertain
ment is assured. The production Is TO

sayings and special acts, which to-
gether with appropriate costumes ana

MANY OUT AT HOMESTEAD.
Another Strike Inaugurated at the
Big Pennsylvania Steel Works.

Another Strike Inaugurated at the
Big Pennsylvania Steel Works.
A strike has been inaugurated at the
Homestead steel works at Pittsburg
which may rival the famous battle be-
tween capital and labor which was fought
there seven years ago. The discharge of
fifteen men at the plant during the last
three weeks is at the bottom Of the trou-
BILE. These men were dismissed because
of their affiliation with the newly formed
lodge Of the amalgamated association.
The Homestead strike was precipitated
when a committee of nine men, who
sought the reinstatement Of the discharg-
ed men, were also discharged for the
same reason. Superintendent Corey in
formed the men that no organized men
would be retained, though 1t became nee
essary to close down the entire plant. At
a secret meeting of the men it was decd-
cd to stand by the organization, and in
the event Of the discharge of any Of their
members all WOULD strike.
When the nine men were discharged
they were not permitted to return to the
mill, and the walkout was not immedi-
ately carried out, but eventually one of
the men gained access to the workmen,
with the result, according to the president
Of the amalgamated association at Home
stead, that 1000 men have quit, and all
departments are more or less crippled.

FINANCES OF THE NATION.

End Of the Fiscal Year Reveals Fiat
terinR Treasury Showing.
Friday ended the governmental fiscal
year. According to the treasury figures,
which are subject to revision, the receipts
have been $514, 1851 and the expendi-
lures 1904 ga, 072, thus making the de-
felt SOC, 52S. O61, or about $50, 00O, 600 less
than the early estimates of Secretary
Gage. The receipts from customs were
500, 1919, 116 and from internal revenue
S271, TIA, 800.
This Is an increase over last year Of
$55, $40, 1853 in customs, and Of $103, 293,
O51 in internal revenue or legitimate in
crease in receipts of $3.50, 133, 400. The
miscellaneous receipts, however, are SAT-
1854, LOG less than last year, as the bulk
Of the Pacific Railroad payments came in
then.
The expenditures are $161, 256, 093 larg-
er than the year before, or just about the
amount of the increase in customs and in
ternal revenues, thus accounting for the
increase or $50,0O0,00 in round numbers
in the deficit.
The war budget for the year was $780,
O1O,6O6 for the army and $64, 734, 159 for
the navy, or a total Of $293, 744, 1853. Al
though the war began in April, 1898, the
heavy expenses for the army did not begin
to appear ON the treasury books until the
present fiscal year began July 1, so there
is an increase in the budget of $142, 1885,
LOT.
Taking the fiscal year ending June 80.
1892 as a peace basis, the expenAes Of
the army and navy were only $S3,511 ,S14,
so that at the same rate the extraordinary
war expenses Of the last two years have
been $277 ,51O,797, which may be taken
as the actual cost Of the war up to date.

MINING CRAZE IN KANSAS.
TreRo and Ellis Counties Asserted to

TreRo and Ellis Counties Asserted to
Be an Eldorado.
Kansas promises to become the scene
OF rs great gold craze as agitated Ohio
this spring. Even State officials and cap
italists are catching the fever, and are
investing their money in land and mines"
and mills. Gen. Artz, who achieved fame
as adjutant general during the "Duns-
more rebellion" in Kansas, is the father
of the craze. He worked for two years
or more developing" mines in Trego and
Ellis counties. Since then others have be-
come interested in the "mines," and now
shafts are being sunk in a score of places
In the counties named, and land prices
have gone out Of sight. Near whera the
main shaft is being sunk in Trego Coun-
ty land cannot be bought at any price.
Biologists and mining engineers declare
that 1t is out OF the question that there
can be more than traces Of gold in Kan
sas, but the men who are digging the
mines and putting up the money declare
they have assays which show that there
are fabulous quantities of gold there.

Trade Advices, However, Show More
than Average Business Being Done.
Bradstreet's views the trade situation
thus: Holiday obseryances and semi
annual stock takings have worked toward
quiet in general trade and industry, but
it is significant of the favorable condi-
tons ruling in this, as compared with pre-
vious years, that trade advices point to
rather more than the average business
being done, Notwithstanding the checks to
demand and shipment above mentioned.
Additional results of the seasons work
brought to light are fully as favorable as
those indicated in Bradstreet's report last
week, and furnish an adequate basis for
the general air of confidence with which
the business world faces the last half Of
the year. Business failures for the week
number 1856, as against 15S last week,
241 in this week year ago, 213 in 1897,

TEMPLATE MILLS ARE IDLE.
Prediction Made that thc Scale Will
BE Signed Soon.

BE Signed Soon.
All but four tin plate mills in the coun-
try are closed, and nearly $4,000 workmen
are now idle. The situation, however, is
not serious, and the prediction is made
that the scale will be signed and all the
mills in operation within few days. The
headquarters of the trust are in Chicago,
but it is known that the combine is will
ing to grant an increase Of wages, and
will do so soon.
1t is the custom to shut down about this
time for repairs and stock-taking, and
when the joint scale committee failed to
agree at the recent Chicago conference
the Amalgamated associations represent
atives unavoidably played into the trusts
hands by asking for postponement. Had
the scale been signed the plants would
probably have been closed within a few
weeks. Well-informed labor leaders say
that the unions will stick 20 the demand
Of a 20 per cent raise, and it Is believed
that this will be granted by the trust as
soon as the various plants are put into
good running order
