WAR TAX FIGURES.
First Years Collections Will Approx
innate $1OO,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Deputy Com
missioner Wilson of the internal reve-
nue. bureau, who will become commits
siener when Mr.. Scott enters upon his
senatorial duties, today furnished
some interesting pointers on the war
tax. He said:
I'm looking over the reports of in
ternal revenue collections 1 find that
the receipts up to last night during the
present fiscal year were, in round num-
bers, SIC, ,50oye00. which is as much as
the collections for the entire fiscal year
of 1897-98.
Now, if you will ascertain the num-
ber of working days that have passed
since June 80, 1898, and divide the COL
lections by that figure, you'll find the
average collections per day. Then null
tiply that average by the number of
working days between yesterday and
July 80, 1899, and you can strike pretty
close to what the first years war tax
will be-
There were 1872 working days in the
present fiscal year up to and including
yesterday, and a calculation showed
the average receipts daily to be in
round figures $3.50, ,020. There are 113
working days remaining in the fiscal
year, and if the average keeps up the
receipts from February 1S to June 80
both inclusive, should be, in round
figures, $99 442. 900, giving a total for the
first year of the war tax of $269, ,942, 0OO

NEGRITos ARE OURS.

Manila, Feb:4' '22-12:45- p. m.-While
the guns on the city walls and those on
board the ships of Rear Admiral Dew
ey's fleet in the bay fired salute in
honor of Washington's birthday four
commissioners from the island of Ne
gros had an interview with Major Gen
eral Otis and informed him that the
American flag had already been raised
over that island and that it's inhabi-
tants We're ready, anxious and willing
to accept any proposition the Ameri-
cans might offer. The insurgents have
been driven from the island entirely.
Although the Iloilo insurgents have
given the people of NegroS much trou-
BILE especially in the matter of financial
assistance demanded by the rebel lead
ers the inhabitants of Negros have per-
Sistently held aloof and now through
the commissioners announced that they
wanted the advice and help of General
Otis. The latter assured them that the
Americans would provide an acceptable
government and in the meantime he in
structed them not to pay the insurgents
anything. The Negros commissioners
We're delighted with their reception.

TROXEL TALKS.
Attorney Who Fled With Gillett> Tells
Why He Did So.

Kansas City, Feb. &c. r. Troxel
says he came back from Mexico to as
sist Gillett's army of creditors in
Strengthening out the colossal deals
which left many of them thousands of
dollars in debt and which forced GilIett
to fee from the wrath which he felt
sure would come. James H. Arnold of
the commission brokerage firm of
Hooker, Arnold & Woodson already has
a power of attorney from Gillett to
sell all the property of the plunger and
turn the proceeds over to the creditors,
and Troxel says he is here to render as
sistance to Mr.. Arnold.
'I left Chihuahua, Mexico, at 1
o'clock last Saturday afternoon. Gillett
was at the station to see me off. Mrs.
Gillett and the baby were there, too.
Gillett shook my hand with tears in
his eyes and told me to do everything
in my power to help clear up matters
I shall stay here for a few days and
then I think I'll run out to Abilene
and see what can be done there"
Troxel is a handsome young fellow
who wears good clothes. He is nearly
six feet tall and carries a broad smile
wherever he goes. He does not look the
criminal. He wears the badge of the
Phi Delta Phi, Greek letter law fra
ternity. He was initiated into the
Kansas university chapter of the fra
ternity at Lawrence several years ago,
and he takes great interest in the sue
cess of the order.
Il want to say something in the hope
of clearing up the impression that am
Gillett's attorney he said with a grin.
Il never was his attorney. All the
stories in the newspapers to that effect
were pipes, pure and simple. Something
else I want to deny is that Gillett and
L have had a quarrel and that we are
no longer friends. That story pub
lished in Kansas City paper last Sun
day, that we came to blows and that
was coming to Kansas City to work
against him because of the misunder-
standing is a lie. We are still the best
of friends
Troxel declares that he went to Mex
leo because he had signed several
pieces of Accommodation paper for
Gillett and that when he saw the crash
coming he thought it safer for him to
get out of the way for a time.
"I have never denied that I signed
some accommodation paper for Gillett,''
he said, land I do not intend to do it
now. I did not know in what condi-
ton Gillett's property really was, so I
just packed my trunk and went away
Now I am here to clear the thing up
the best know how. I believe I made
fatal mistake by going away and now
I am sorry for it."

END OFTHE WORLD.
November IA the Day Set by an Aus
trian Prophet For the Closing
of All Time.

New York, Feb. 22.-The world is to
come to an end on November IA, 1899.
So says the Austrian astronomer, Ru-
doIph Falb. Mr.. Falb says that the
world will be destroyed by contact with
Biela's comet. Biela's comet is the one
which was to have destroyed the world
in 1882.
Then there was something like a pub
lie panic. It was told to the press of
the day how the astronomer Olbers, as
the result of a. careful study in advance
of the comets movements, had found
that the comets center would shortly
before midnight on October % of that
year, cross the earth'S orbit.
Not until next November 13 will the
earth return to the critical point in it's
orbit where it passes the meteoric cur
rent, and by that time the whole of the
great shoal will generally have swept
past and onward along it's own orbit.
Sometimes, however, 1T happens that
even in a year the entire shoal has not
passed the critical point. Then the
earth, passing through the laggards,
will be treated to another display of
celestial fireworks.

HOUSE WORKS TODAY.
Went Into Committee of the Whole
to Make Its Acts Legal.

Although today is the birthday of the
father of his country, and it is a legal
holiday, the members of the house are
working just as they would on any or
dinary day-in fact, they are working
harder. They are not in session as the
house, however, but as the committee
of the whole Any business done by
the house on a legal holiday would not
be binding, but there is nothing to
whenever it wants to. A committee is
simply a body of men who decide upon
a course of action, and the house fol-
lows the recommendations of the COM
mittee.
The difficulty which stared the house
in the face last night was that if it ad-
journed the adjournment would carry
it over until tomorrow. Mr.. Fairchild
devised a plan whereby parliamentary
procedure could be complied with and
the house could still work today. At
the day had been dispensed with, he
moved that the house resolve itself into
a committee of the whole for the con-
sideration of general bills. Some of the
members thought he intended to keep
eOn working all night and they began to
object, but their objections were with
drawn when they saw through the plan.
The motion carried and the committee
then took a recess until o'clock today.
This afternoon they will take another
recess until tomorrow morning, when
they will rise and report to the house.
The records will show that no adjourn
will also show no session of the house
on February %

dicated by dashes, the officials were un-
able to decipher. There is no fourth"
paragraph in the insurgent statement
as furnished to the press.
Owing to lack of punctuation and re-
gard to economy in cable tolls, General
Otis bulletin sent yesterday is not very
clear in some essential points, particu-
larly the reference to the island of Ne
gros. A careful study of the dispatch
on that point has convinced the officials
here that Gen. Otis means to say that
four representative inhabitants of the
island of Negros have come to Manila,
having been sent by Gen. Miller to meet
and confer with Gen. Otis in regard to
an extension of American occupation to
that island Negros is the fourth island
in the Philippine group of Importance.
1t lies at its nearest point about ten
miles from the island of Panay and
Gen. Miller'S forces must have been in
plain sight of Negros during the weeks
preceding the capture of Iloilo.
Just to the east of Negros, separated
by a very narrow strait is the island of
Cebu, which it is also a part of Gen.
Otis purpose to occupy. From Gen. Otis
dispatch it is gathered that neither at
that point nor at Negros is there likely
to be very substantial resistance.
A JUNTA STATEMENT.
Hong Kong, Feb. 22.-The following
statement has been issued by the Fill
ipino junta here:
Information which has leaked
through the PinkertOns sent by Presi-
dent Mckinley to investigate the ship
ment of arms to the Filipinos shows
that the first shipments of arms to
Aguinaldo were made by order of the
American government through Consul
Wildman, hence the shipment per the
Wing Fol The American government
subsequently telegraphed to cease this,
coincident with the change of policy to
annexation. Mr.. Wildman and Rear Ad-
miral Dewey promised to pay, but have
not yet paid, for a subsequent expedi-
tion by the Abbey, authorized by Ad-
miral Dewey, who afterward seized the
steamer and she is still held. Papers
respecting this are now in the possess
sion of the secretary of the junta. The
protestations of Admiral Dewey and
other Americans that they have made
no promises are ridiculous. In view of
these facts, let the American people
judge how the nations word of honor
was pledged to the Filipinos and con-
fided in by them and violated by the re-
cent treachery of Gen. Otis.''

YANKEES AND JOHNNIES
Unite in Forming Militia Organiza-
tion in Georgia

Atlanta, Ga, Feb PA unique mill
tary company is in course of formation
at Fitzgerald, the new Indiana colony in
the southwestern part of the state.
About a hundred Union and Confed-
crate veterans have banded together for
the purpose of organizing and adding
to the state contingent of the National
Guard, and have applied to Governor
Gambler for charter and equipment.
They will in all probability be issued
to them, and the company will be the
first of it's kind in the south to join a
state militia. The commissions will be
equally divided between Yankees and
''Johnnies." Should the militia at any
time be called into requisition the erst-
while enemies will have the satisfaction
of fighting side by side.
