IMPERIAL RULE or AMERIcA.
Tribute to 1t in Sir W. w. Hunters New
History of British India.

London, March Sin the introduction
to his new history of British India, to
be published tomorrow, Sir William
Wilson Hunter, former member of the
Indian legislative council and former
president of the Indian education COM
mission, referring to the advent of the
United States as colonizing power,
says:
America starts upon her career of
Asiatic rule with an amplitude of re-
sources and a sense Of moral RESPONSE
bility which no previous state Of Chris
tendon brought to the work. In her
splendid and difficult task, she will be
trammeled by no Portugueses inquisi-
tion of the sixteenth century, nor by
the slave colonization of Holland in the
seventeenth, nor by the cynical rule for
gain of the rulers which for time
darkened the British acquisition OF In
dia in the eighteenth.
THE United States and their depen-
denotes represent the political conscience
of the nineteenth century. hail their ad-
vent as a new power for good, not alone
for the island races coming under their
care, but also in that great settlement
Of European spheres Of influence in
Asia, which, If we could see Alright,
forms the world problem of our day."

of an encounter with two desperate bur-
glars whom he surprised while attempt
ing to crack a safe in the office of Sean

at midnight last night, Reserve Officer
John r. Healy now lies at deaths door

in the office of soap factory, where
they secured $12 or SIS, Officer Healy

Hold up your hands, I've got you"
Officer Healy reached for his own revol-

the bullet went wide The officer tried
to fire point blank but the weapon re-
fused to act. The burglar fired again,
the shot taking effect in the officers lef,
leg near the knee.
In desperation the officer threw aside
his revolver and, gripping his night
stick, feled the burglar with a blow on
the head. The blow, however, did not
knock the fellow out and, when the Of
ficer jumped on him, a desperate strug-
gle ensued. Over and over they rolled
and when the officer finally got the fell
low where he was able to clasp the
twisters on him, he cried Help, help"
Almost Immediately a man came out of
the office and the officers first 2ssail
ant shouted: Put pill In him quick"
The second man drew revolver and
fired three times, two shots taking eff
feet in the body The officer sank to
the ground and cried I'm done, l give
in. The rtffians were without mercy.
The second man drew slung shot and
struck him over the head while the first
man struck him powerful blow in the
face with his fist. Being knocked sense

twisters, club, revolver, watch and $50

Toulon, March 5.-The naval powder
magazine of LaGoubran, between La
Seine and Toulon, in the department of
Varin, southern France, exploded at
2:30 o'clock this morning. All the SOL
diers on duty at the magazine were
killed and a number of the inhabitants
of the surrounding district, the build
ings of which were razed, also fell VIC
tins. Forty corpses have already been
discovered. The cause of the explosion
Is not known.
Fifty thousand kilogrammes Of black
powder exploded. 1t looks as though
a volcanic eruption had occurred, the
country being swept almost bare with
in a radius of two miles, houses de-
stroyed, trees overturned and distorted,
fields devastated and covered with
stones and impalpable black dust
Some of the stones are enormous. One
Weighing fifty Kilograms fell in the
suburb of Pont de Las, Signs Of the
explosion are evident in all the suburbs
Of Toulon, and in the city itself. Even
at st. Jean de Var, five miles distant,
windows were shattered and doors bat
tered in. Later reports show that of
the seven sentries, four were killed
outright and the others severely injur-
ed, the corporal being literally scalpde
and the scalp overhanging his face like
veil.
A large number of soldiers are now
employed in clearing away the debris,
but the work is very difficult 1t is i'm
possible to ascertain accurately the
number killed. but 1t is believed that
no fewer than a hundred We're injured
Although it was a clear night the ex-
plosion was so terrific as to produce a
slight rainfall Fortunately the neigh
boring magazines escaped. 1t is now
believed that the explosion originated
In chemical decomposition in smokeless
powder. There is no suggestion Of foul
play
To-day the whole city is in mourn

suicide by shooting. Mrs. Norton be-
came conscious soon after she was at

by the issue of treasury certificates, or
by an addition bond ISSUE
Notwithstanding this deplorable
treasury situation, which has been call
ed over and over again to the attention
of congress and the country, approprla-
tions have been made which in many
cases have not been warranted by the
interests of the public service or which
are proper in themselves. should have
been postponed until the national in
come should be ample to meet all its
liabilities without the necessity of bond
issues.
1.-THE appropriations of the original
billion dollar congress- amounted to
$1,035 6SO,1O9. The appropriations for
the congress just ended reach the
mighty aggregate of 566,S9O,O16. 1t
is fair to deduct from this total $4S2,-
562OS3, made necessary to meet the liza
bilities of the Spanish war. So If we
deduct from the grand total the liabill-
ties on account of the war with Spain,
the appropriations for the ordinary ex-
penses of the government are $10S4, ,327,-
932. The appropriations of the congress
just ended to meet the ordinary gov
ernmental expenses exceed those of the
preceding 54th congress by $94, ,737S5S.
Not only this, but the contract liabili-
ties authorized by the congress just
expired for new ships and their ar
mament, public buildings, river and
harbors, and miscellaneous items,
amount to $70,6O2, 524 If, therefore, to
the ordinary appropriations is added
the liabilities on account of these au-
thorized contracts we ascertain that
the appropriations and contract llabil-
tiles amount to the tremendous total
of $1,154 $780, ,456
These increased appropriations have
gone for French spol.ation CLAIMS, pub
lie buildings, rivers, harbors, Bowman
act claims, and hundreds of other pro-
jects, some meritorious but many of
them not entitled to recognition by the
government. In nearly every branch
of the civil service of the government
there has been an increase and the
time has come to reform the sale of
national expenditures. The reckless
of the outgoing congress
will at least serve the good purpose of
arousing the people and of causing
them to send representatives to the ma
tional capital who will reduce the bur-
dens imposed by riotous appropria-
tions.''

Sees Disaster for Republicans In Ex-
trayagnMce of Fifty-fifth Congress.

Fees Disaster IOr NSpuOiiCNhs hh ia
travngnnce of Fifty-fifth Congress.
washington, March 5.-Mr Dockery,
the ranking democratic member of the
house appropriations committee, made
the following statement: "This con-
gress easily surpasses all its predeces-
sors in the stupendous aggregate of it's
appropriations. 1t was thought that
the 51st congress, commonly known as
the billion dollar congress had, in
point of extravaganza of appropriations
touched limit which would not be
reached or at least surpassed by any
of its successors. This congress, how
ever has far exceeded the appalling
total of appropria iations then made and
# will be remembered that the illion
dollar congress was followed by an
overwhelming disaster to the republican
party at the ensuing election.
"Confronted with a war with Spain,
recurring the imposition of addition
al taxation, il Is obvious that rigid
economy should have been applied in
all other directions to the expenditure
of public money. The people were will
ing to meet all the demands upon the
the Spanish war, but it is fair to pre-
sumo that they expected their repre-
sentatives in view of the cheerful dis
position manifested to meet these added
burdens, to limit the ordinary appro-
priations to the necessities by econom-
ic appropriations. The expectations
have not been realized
"The result is an actual deficiency in
current revenues, amounting on the
first of this month to $99, 109, ,554.50.
This deficiency, as shown by Chairman
Cannon, will probably reach S159, 1000
on the 3Oth of June next. 1t is impossi-
bile to estimate with absolute accuracy,
the treasury deficiency for the coming
fiscal year. The secretary of the treas
ury in his annual report made In De-
cember last estimated it at about $751;
O00, 900, but it is now apparent that it
will not be less than $100,OO0.000. 1t is
almost certain, therefore, that the gov
ernment will be compelled during the
calendar year 1900 to face an actual
treasury deficiency.
'The $462, 100000 Of income arising
from the sale of bonds under the pres
ent administration and that of Mr..
Cleveland will then have been exhaust
ed and the treasury will pass from the
condition of a borrowed surplus to an
