POWDER MILL BLEW UP.

San Rafael, Cal, June l9.-The United
States Sanokeless Powder Company's fac

miles from this town, was the scene Of a
disastrous explosion. As a result four
employees were killed and three seriously
injured, while six buildings were demol-

The bodies of the dead, which are now
at the morgue, are SO mutilated as to be
almost unrecognizable. The dead: Edwin

UNITED STATES TREASURY.
THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR
The Deficit VIII be Less Than q Hun
dred MiliiOn-Caused by the Was-A
Gain OF Sixty Millions over the. Last
Report y Year Ago.

Washington, June 24.-It is regarded
as a conservative estimate that the treas
ury deficit for the fiscal year Of 1899,
which closes 10 days hence will be less
than 100000. Already the receipts
for the year aggregate over $3.50 ,SOO, 600,
with the expenditures barely 500, ,0OO, 900
more with 10 days, judging from past
years, of heavy receipts yet to be ac-
counted for.
Up to this date customs receipts
amount to over $500, 100000; from inter-
nal revenues, $263, ,55O,OOO was realized
and from miscellaneOus sources there was
received $35, 100000. The total receipts
from all sources last year amounted to
$4O5 1921 1886, while the expenditures ag-
gregated $443, 1866, ,5S2, leaving deficit Of
$3S, S,O47 ,247.
From the closest calculation that can
now be made the war revenue account,
which with the exception of few items
went into effect July l, 1898, will realize
for the year little less than $lOO,OOO,OO0.
The receipts from tobacco alone will
probably show an increase of $l5, 200, 900;
spirits, an increase of $65, 100000; beer
and other fermented liquors, an increase
OF over $2S,OOO,OOO and oleomargarine
an increase Of $685., 5000.
The two items which have produced
| more than 10 times as much revenue as
any two others are those applying the
| documentary and proprietary stamps. On
| April 80 last these items had produced
over $36, 100000 and it is not probable
that by July the total will exceed $44,-
100000. The tax on legacies will prob.
ably produce not much in excess OF ST.,
100000, while the special tax collected
from bankers will exceed $3,OOO,OOO.
The expenditures up to this time ag
gregate about $6OO,OO0,OO OF this
amount 100000 was paid out on req
uisitions from the war department; $64.
100000 on account of pensions and near
ly $4O,OOO,OO0 on account of interest or
public debt; $l2,675 900 was paid to thu
Indians and $ll7,27O,OOO was disburseC
on civil and miscellaneous account.
AT this time it is impossible to stat'
with any degree of certainty what th'
war with Spain and the troubles in th'
Philippines have cost during this year
but an approximation has been made o
the actual cost payments on these &C
counts which places the amount at $3.50,
100000.
"A calculation has been made at tn,
treasury which shows that leaving ou
of the reckoning the $3.50 1000, 900 expend
ed this year on account of the war, tn
$lOO,OOO,OOO produced by the war revenu
from the Central Pacific the figures woul'
account and the $ll,798,3l4 received
show surplus for the year, approximat
ing $2O,OOO,OOO.

London, Aug. 1.-The archbishop of Canterbury, Most Rev. Frederick Tenn pie, D. D., has rendered a decision is the ritual cases which he and the archbishop of York, Most Rev. Wm. Dalrymple McLagnan, D. D., heard in May. The arehbishops declare that while far from saying the use of in- cense and the carrying of lights in procession arc unsuitable or undesira- ble accompaniments of divine wor- ship, they are obliged, in accordance with the prayer book, 10 the conclu- sioE that these adiunets are neither enjoined nor permitted by the law of the church of England. Therefore, the archbishops add, though they may be used to sweeten a church or for purely lighting purposes, they urge the clergy, for the sake of the peace of the church, to discontinue their use as part of the services.

St Louis, A-e. August Schall, of All South Broadway, was shot and probably fatally wounded by Freder- iel> Sehaerf. of 4734 South Broadway, about nine o'clock Sunday night on the stre@. There was no quarrel at the time of the shooting and the man who was shot says that there could have been none. as he did not know the man who shot him except that he had seen him several times and had spoken to him once. Sehaerf was arrested and seems to be slightly demented He claims that Schall had been talking about him and had said that he would kill him. He admits that he followed him and shot him without any words. Sehaerfs friends aIIege that he has been acting queerly of late.
