WELFARE OF FILIPINOS
DEPENDS ON CONDUCT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-Upon full
consideration the authorities here have
decided to adhere TO their original in
tention to withhold from publication
the proclamation to be addressed to the
Fiipinos by General Otis, the military
commander of the islands, until the
document has been given publicity, at
Manila. The proclamation. goes in
great detail into the conditions in the
islands, and outlines as far as possible
at this time the intentions Of the ad-
ministration at Washington toward the
people of the archipelago, the. keynote
being the strong intimation conveyed
that the whole future happiness and
welfare of the islanders depends upon
their conduct now. The proclamation
was prepared with great care and gone
over in Cabinet and then mailed to
General Otis. That was about a week
ago Events of recent occurrence, how
ever, made Secretary Alger believe the
situation in the Philippines might be
relieved of strain in a considerable de-
gree by a speedy announcement of the
purposes of the Government of the
United States, and therefore the entire
proclamation was cabled to General
Otis.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Although great
storm of snow was raging there were TO-
900 people around old Trinity at midnight
TO hear the chimes ring in the new year.
The 300 policemen had little TO do in the
way of quelling disturbances, for it was
too cold and blustery for anything of that
kind beyond the blowing of horns. The

INCREASE IN CASH BALANCE
WAR TAX OFFSET DEFICIENCY
IN REVENUES.
Because of the Disturbance to Busi-
ness Interests This Tax Will
Not Be Repealed in the
Near Future
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-A Washington
special to the Herald says: Notwith-
standing the extraordinary expendi-
lures on account of the war the treas
ury is in very good condition and closes
the year with more cash on hand than
when it opened, the cash balance to-
night being $3.50, 100000, against $685.
474769 on December 81, 1897. This in
crease is due to the receipts from the
Pacific railways, the proceeds Of the
war loan bonds and the war revenue
| taxes.
The receipts from the sale Of war
loan bonds, amounting to 5000, 600, 900,
foot up $199, ,09S, 119, a balance of nearly
81, 900, 900 being deferred payments that
will soon be made. The war revenue
law has yielded about $50, ,OOO, 900, MAX
ing the total war fund the Government
has been able to draw upon about
$3.50, 100000 Against this the war ex-
penses, as nearly as they can be esti-
mated, amount to date to about $780,
100000 Nearly $156, 600 Of this was
on account Of the army.
The ordinary receipts of the Govern
ment have fallen considerably below
the ordinary expenditures. This is due
in part to the disturbance Of business
interests by the war.
Since the close of hostilities there has
been marked Improvement. but there
is no ground for believing the war tax
can soon be repealed.
For the first six months Of the fiscal
year the receipts from all sources foot
up $245, ,961, $50, and expenditures more
| than 1929 900 900, thus making the de-
fcit for the year to date more than
$4,000, 900. This same proportion will
not be continued through the second
half of the year, for the war eXDendi-
lures are gradually decreasing with the
mastering out of troops and ordinary
receipts show a tendency to still fur
ther increase.
December is not usually the best
month in the year for customs receipts.
but it shows this year 1854, ,324-the
largest months receipts since the Ding
ley law was enacted, and $5,103,536 in
excess of December of last year. The
internal revenue receipts for December
were $22, ,627, ,319, of which more than
one-third can be credited to war taxes.

Recount Shows the Contesting Can

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ROSA, Dec. 31-Sensational
|. Developments marked to-days proceed
ings in, the election contest of Gallant
Rains, Democrat, against David Walls,
the Republican nominee, for the seat on
the Board of Supervisors, which re-
Gently was decided by the official can
vass to belong to Walls by a majority
of seventeen votes. In one precinct the
recount showed that twenty-five votes
cast for Rains were counted for Walls,
thus giving him an advantage of fifty
over his opponent, and these returns
were afterWard made out and certified
to by the election officers as being cor
rect The news has created a big SEN
sation.
The contest of Mr.. Rains for the pO
sition was filed a few days after the
official canvass of the votes by the
Board of Supervisors was completed,
but the matter did not come up for trial
until Thursday of this week. While
several mistakes were found from time
to time and while the usual number of
illegal and defaced ballots were discov-
cred, it was not until to-day that the
trial was marked by any particularly
startling features.
1t all happened while the attorneys

Wilson precinct, a suburb of Petaluma,
and which by the way, is Mr. Rains
own voting place. The returns as can
VaSsed by the Board of Supervisors
just after the election showed that
Walls had carried the precinct by the
handsome majority of thirty seven
votes. The recount to-day however,
showed that instead of the precinct
having given Walls majority of
hi tI- h1 Oi y
the contestant. a majority of thirteen,
with eighteen votes, divided about
equally, in. the hands of the court for
advisement.
The election officers having charge of
Wilson precinct on election night were:
Inspectors-W w. Chapman. r.; D.
Judgss-H: Dahlman, R.; John R.
clerks Theodore C. King, r.; w. Ma
Ballot clerks-J. J. Mendonca, r.; w d.
HOuX, ID.
The campaign made by both parties
for Gains and Walls was very. bitter,
the formers enemies being particularly
active in their efforts to defeat him.
Walls himself is one of the best known
men. in the county and Democrats as
well as Republicans admit that if any
crooked work was done in his behalf
1t was entirely without his knowledge.
The change of fifty votes in this one
precinct gives the contested seat to
Rains without doubt. Walls. original
majority was only seventeen, and the
vote as now recounted stands forty
seven in Rains favor. The votes from
four precincts are yet to be recounted,
but these are all in Rains favor with
one exception and give him a majority
over his opponent of fifty-One, which,
with those he had. those he has just
gained: and those in the hands of the
court, will probably put him in by
about seventy-ftve votes.
It is generally believed that the
Grand Jury will investigate the case at
it's next sitting, that body not yet
having adjourned.

A Surprise for Brown.

Brown has received a setback that
he will not recover from for some time, .
said DOdsOn, as he slipped his coffee.
L honestly believe that he has cor
rupted every decent waiter in the city
by his outlandish system of overlapping,
making it almost impossible for mod
est Upper to get any service at all.
He had a habit of starting with the
head waiter and tipping them all down
the line. 1 don't know whether he ever
tipped the dishwasher or not, but l
have my suspicious that he did.
1.-The result has been that the walters
looked upon. him as a sort of Indian
nabOb or a returned king from the
Klondike, and would pay no attention
to any one else when he was present.
You might complain and storm all
you liked, but it would have no effect.
When Brown entered, everything else
was dropped until the imaginary specks
of dirt were wiped from the Immaculate
tablecloth and spotless china, and
Brown seated in all his solitary glory
at his favorite place, which was always
reserved for him. But all that is
changed now, and he is looking around
for some anti-tipping society to join. -
Find fly in his soup?" asked Smith,
Worse than that All his life Brown
has been trying to get money enough
ahead to build himself a home and
now he has discovered that the house
he is renting is owned by his former
favorite head waiter. er."-Detroit Free
