Ten Beaus for Every Girl In Idaho

With the bachelors outnumbering
the maids in every State in the Union
it ought TO be easy for the unmarried
woman to secure a partner anywhere,
but the region where bachelors are
most IN excess Is, of course, the most
favorable to the spinster. since the
abundance of unmarried men gives her
wider range OF choice From a mat
rimonial point of view Idaho is the
best State of the Union. for there the
number of the bachelors is to that of
the maids as 1864 to 1426, each un-
married woman in Idaho, therefore,
having ten or eleven bachelors. not
exactly at her beck. but available as q
husband. Prom most points o. view
the West Is the Mecca of the young un-
married woman, for not only are there
more unmarried men in the Western
States. but a living Is more easily
made in the West than in the East, and
therefore the Western men are more
addicted to matrlmony. - PROFESSOR

rendered him. and from the time of his ar

the faction which was turned down at the
convention at GAINESVILLE, headed by a

visitors.

THE CABINET MEETING.
The Cuban Money Order System the
Chief Subject of Discussion.


Although the Cabinet was in session yes
terday about two hours and half, no bust
ness of Importance was transacted. The
meeting was attended by Secretaries Gage
and Root, Attorney General Griggs, and
Postmaster General Smith The discussion
that took place was wholly upon routine
matters affecting the departments and the
affairs in Cuba Porto Rico and the Phliip-
pines. The most important topic taken up
was ID re.ation to customs duties ana the
proposed money order system for CUBA.
Under the money order contract in this
country, domestic order can be purchased
for so cents on S10o The rate on foreign
orders of the same amount is 81. Cuba was
| given the domestic rate of 80 cents, and
! when this became generally known CUBAN
| business men availed themselves OF 1t, be-
cause it was cheaper than to buy exchange
and as a result there has been vast GUAM
| tity of large money orders issued in Cupa
! payable at New York and other cities. TO
| the detriment of business of private houses
| 1t not being the intention of the Federal
Government to enter into competition with
| business houses the Postmaster General
after careful study of the situation, sug-
gested yesterday that if the rate for orders
is increased to so cents on $100 and the

| The President announced to the Cabinet
before the meeting was over that ne ln-
tends to go to Chicago in October, when the
| corner stone of the Federal building there
is laid, and that he will continue his trip
to Minneapolis and st. Paul. 1t is expected
that all of the members of the Cabinet will
! go with him.
Secretary Gage begins his vacation next
Monday. He will probably go West and join
the President at Chicago. While in Mime

The President of Venezuela Assumes
Command of His Army.

The President of Venezuela Assumes
Command of His Army.
Mr. Russell. the First Secretary and
Charge d.Affaires of the United States Le-
cation of Caracas, has notified the State
Department by telegraph that General An
drade, the President of Venezuela, has
gone to the front to assume command in
person of the Government forces engaged
in fighting the revolutionists under De
Castro. The department has been informed
also by the United States Consul at Porto
Cabello of rumor which the Consul had
not confirmed at the time the despatch was
sent, that the town of Valencia had fallen
to De Castro's forces. This information
was sent by the State Department to the
Navy Department with a suggestion that
the cruiser Detroit NJ gnt be given the bsne-
At of it if she stopped at any place on her
way to La Guayra.
The Navy Department has figured out
that the Detroit would arrive at La Guayra
| yesterday, and was very much surprised
when news came yesterday morning that
/ the cruiser put into San Juan, Porto Rico,
Thursday. 1t will take the cruiser about
four days to reach La Guayra from San
Juan. The department officials suppose
that the Detroit caught the tail end of
the recent blow in the West Indies and
was delayed, making it necessary for her
| to put into San Juan to replenish her coal
bunkers. No explanation OF the delay was
contained in the message to the depart
! ment

THE TARTAR INCIDENT.
Friends of AguinaldO Relieved to

Friends of AEuiunldo Relieved to
Have Been mt the Bottom of 1T.
War Department officials have expressed
an intention not to permit the Tartar in
cident to close without further investiga-
ton. They are of the belief that there
is an anti-American influence at work in
Hongkong, and base this opinion ON the
reports received from General Otis, and
Colonel Metcalf, of the Twentieth Kansas
regiment. 1t is strongly suspected that
1t was this anti-Ameriean influence which
caused the Tartar to the detained at Hong
kong. 1t was stated authoritatively yester-
day at the War Department that when
the Tartar arrives In San Francisco the
officers on board will be asked to submit to
the Secretary of War detailed history of
the detention. While the reports received
by cable from Hongkong have lacked de-
tail, it is thought that there is sufficient
suggestion in them to establish a reason
for believing that sympathizers with the
Aguinaldo movement were at the bottom
of the trouble.
The department hopes. therefore, that
when Colonel Metcalf reaches the United
States he will be able to furnish more de-
tailed information regarding the trouble
among the discharged soldiers on board
the Tartar.
War Department officials regard the Tar
tar incident, however, as only one of
many efforts to annoy and embarrass the
Administration in its efforts to suppress
the insurgents. Information from differ
ent sources has reached the department re-
garding the movement of the Aguinaldo
adherents, and it is claimed that some OF
their recent actions in Hongkong point
to the belief that a headquarters has been
established there for the purpose of caus-
ing the Government trouble whenever pos
sible and arousing dissatisfaction among
the troops.

NATURAL GAS SUPPLY FAILING.
wells i'm Indiana Abandoned, Owing
to Lack of Pressure.

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Sept. f5.-Mr.
Blatchley, State Geologist of Indiana, in his
annual report, says OF the natural gas sup
ply:
During the last five years all pipe lines
have been extending toward the centre or
heart OF the field until now the centre is
reduced to less than $50 square miles. All
the porous Trenton or gas producing, rock
in the Indiana field is more or less init
mateIy connected, and whatever tends to
reduce the supply in one part OF the field
has the same effect on all parts. This is
shown by reduction of pressure In the prae-
tically undeveloped centre. Wells therein
drilled for local use showed. in November,
1898, a pressure of only 1S1 pounds, as
against 264 in 1895. The average rock
pressure of the entire field in November.
1897. was 191 pounds; in November, 1898
173 pounds. The average pressure at which
salt water .ovsreomes gas and necessitatss.
the abandonment of the we'll is probably be-
tween 130 and $50 pounds; in the western
portion of the field already abandoned it
was ESQ pounds.
Petroleum. or crude oil, will probably
displace the gas in the higher portions of
the porous Trenton rock. and, while it lasts.
will be used as fuel, but the supply, like
that of gas, is limited. Neither gas nor
oil is at present being formed in any ap
preciable quantities in the Trenton lime
stone"

Federal Taxing of trusts.


The Federal Government is longer chiefly
dependent for its revenue upon tariff duties on
imports For the last fiscal year the receipts
from internal taxes were s273 900 oa0, against
S206 O00 600 from customs This disparity is likely
to widen, notwithstanding the probable repeal Of
internal taxes laid for wax purposes The ten
dency is toward freer trade and a consequent
abandonment Of the taxation that puts curb
on commercial intercourse. The inconvenience OF
tariff restriction is especially felt in the ar.
rangement of our trade relations with Porto Rico,
the Hawaiian Islands, and the Philippines.
In casting about for more adequate system OF
internal revenue, Congress may find in the taxa
tion of corporate industrial combinations a means
of filing the Treasury ard at the same time
eurbing the ex -ortions which such combinations
have it in their power to exact from the consum-
ing public.
