Out OF the Treasury This Month.

Washington, April THE govern
ment will have very heavy eXpendi-
lures during the current month, and
it is probable that instead of SUR
plus of receipts over expenditures as
was the case last month, there will be
a considerable deficit The imports of
foreign merchandise are not usually
so large in April as in March, and in
stead of customs receipts of 81, 0OO,O 900
the amount will probably not be more
than SIS 600, 900 or $40, 900, 600. The re-
ceipts from internal taxation may be
expected to be larger than last month
and will possibly reach S24, 900, 0OO
Pension payments amounting to ST.
900, 600 must be made this month, and
possibly the indemnity of $50, 900, coo
will be paid to Spain before May l.

Exneriments In Mlrele.s Teleernphy.

Washington, April lit is the con-
fident expectation of officers of the
signal corps of the army that within
short time messages can be flashed to
and from the war department to Fort
Myer. five miles away, without the
aid of wires. Important experiments
have already been made at Fort
Myer by Col. James Allen, now act
ing chief of the signal corps, and
Lieut.. George O. Squire, which have
demonstrated that it is perfectly prac-
ticable to transmit messages by means
of electric waves produced in the man
ner required by the Marconi system.
These officers have found that at dis
lance of 1000 yards they are able to
telegraph any message they desire and
it is proposed to daily increase the dis
lance until the war department and
Fort Myer are connected.

BARBARIAN BROWN"
Strange Story Of Adventure and What Befel
A Mining Man.

X. f. Brown, of Spokane, passed
North Yakima on Monday, and thereby
hangs tale. When Dan Calkins was in
this city he told story about "Bar-
baran Brown" as he is ca He'd, that is
worth publishing. Barbarian" is lit
tie fellow and got his name from a paper
he used to publish in Occur d. Alene.
On one occasion while in South Africa a
syndicate of gold mine owners were dis.
cnssing the location OF very rich find.
Brown was there at the time and his
companions, anxious to hear what was
going on, boosted Barbaran" up to the
trsnsom. He overheard the talk and he
and his friends struck out and located
their claims first and made q large for
tune in silver and gold. Subsequently
Brown returned to Spokane and got &C.
quaintei with Col. L. C. Dillmap, a real
estate man, and invited the latter to 20
with him to London and help him to
float some of his surplus mining stock.
They went together, faring stump tiously
every day. when suddenly without warn
ing, Barbarian" Brown disappeared.
His companion, who had given no
thought to the future believing his for
tune was already made, found himself in
a foreign city without dollar, 30 to
speak. A few days afterwards he re-
ceived telegram from Brown stating
that if he wanted to see him he would
have to come to Paris. He managed to
make his way to Paris when "Barbar ian"
coolly informed him that the failure of
the Barring brothers had brought on a
panic and he had temporarily retired
from the stock broking business. Dill.
man got back to Spokane sadder and
madden man, but turned his attention to
real estate again and recently won suit
against the Northern Pacific railway
company for sl75 900.

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll was cremated
at Fresh Pond, L. l., to-day The body
was placed in the retort at IL: so and at
2 O'Clock all that remained was ashes.
There were no services at the crema-
tory, even the organ, which is usually
played while cremation is going on,
was silent. This was at the request of
the family. There was a crowd about
the building and a number demanded
admission, but no one except the mem
bers OF the family and two members OF
the cremation society We're admitted.
The body was removed from Walston
soon after 8 O'Clock and taken to the

crematory at 1880 o'clock. The coffin
was not opened in the columbarium.
Those present stood around it for few
moments and then it was carried TO the
lnclneraung room. Mrs. Ingersoll bore
UP better than il was expected she
would. When the retort had sufficient
ly cooled, the cradle was drawn out and
the alum-soaked sheet was opened.
