Although appropriations aegregating
S62.717. 10 were made at Thursdays
meeting of City Council, the city has
a balance Of 50, 402. 81 to the credit of
current expenses, and, relying upon
the customary tax collections and other
resources, Chairman Kane of the finance
committee, in an interview after the
meeting, reiterated the statement made
by him on Wednesday that the deficit
at the end OF the fiscal year will not
exceed $4,000, unless something un-
forseen develops, and 1t may be less.
The appropriations made last night
were TO meet all of the obligations of
the city up to April LIST and pay the
bonds and interest which fall due on
that date. The bonds and interest were
decidedly the largest items and, being
unusually heavy, cut an important
figure in reducing the balance. Last
night was salary and bill night and
large outlay was necessary to pay the
city officials and liquidats the current
obligations. The resources and ex-
pendituies, as reported at the meeting,
showing the condition Of the finances

HE MADE A HARD FIGHT.
Frank McKeon Clears Up the Mystery
of an Assault

Frank ATcKeon, the Santa F'e engineer
who was stabbed by unknown men
week ago last Wednesday night and who
was found by the police early the follow
ence avenue and Cherry street in an al
most dying condition, has recovered from
his wounds and has cleared up the mys-
terry surrounding the assault, says the
Kansas City Star. Mr.. McKeon left the
city hospital yesterday and went to pO-
lice headquarters and was given S95 which
he had in his pocket when he was as
saulted.
He makes this statement of the desper-
ate attack which was made upon him:
about Il O clock on the way home At the
corner of Cherry street I met three men.
One of them asked me the time and re-
pied that had no time. The men crowd
ed about me, and one of them asked for
q quarter and told him had no money.
He reached into my vest pocket and
struck him. All three men then attacked
me. | knocked two of them down and
kicked one of them in the face and stom-
aeh- While l was fighting with the two

My clothes were cut into ribbons and nv
linen collar was cut in two. / fought the

from loss OF blood and fell where I was
found by the police. My journey from
Eighth street could be traced by blood
stains on the sidewalk
Mr.. McKeon lives at 1904 East Twelfth
street, and has been employed on rail-
twenty years. He bears several ugly
scars as the result of his encounter with
the h1ghWaymen. He is of sturdy build,
mas plenty OF courage, and is confident
that he could have whipped all three of
his assailants if he had not been attacked
with a-kQife.

HIS NECK BROKEN.
Player In a Football Game May Sur
vive Accident.

New York, Nov. 5.-John MeQuade. a
clerk in the war department, is lying in
the emergency hospital, his life in the
balance, says a Washington special 10
the World. The doctors say there is an
even chance he may live.
McQuade, who is 10 years old, was
formerly a student at Georgetown uni
versity. He enlisted as a volunteer at
the outbreak of the Spanish war and
when he returned home accepted a posi-
ton in the war department. He was
an enthusiastic football player.
Sunday some of the young men of the
neighborhood organized two scrub eIev-
ems and started a game. A number of
skilled players were engaged and the
sport soon became very fast.
On a tumble McQuade caught the ball
and started for the opposite goal. He
was tackled hard and came directly
down on his head. Several players fell
on him, and when he was lifted from the
ground his head fell back upon his
shoulders, his neck having been broken
The doctors at the hospital are taking
a great interest in the case, and if Nc
Quade has strength enough 70 stand the
operations they are contemplating, there
is hope that he will live.

TEDDY STOOD 7 HOURS
Bareheaded in the Rain Review
ing Sound Money Parade.

New York. Nov 5-Au New York
city gave itself up Saturday 10 the great
sound money parade, ana though the
rain fell in a steady drlzzie the SKIES
lowered and a raw wind chilled both
paraders and onlOOkerS, the demonstra-
zion of the gold hosts was declared an
unqualified success A conservative esu-
mate places the number OF men In line
at 600.
Throughout the seven hours it took
the legion to pass the main reviewing
stand at the Worth monument, Cover
nor Roosevelt, the chief reviewing OH
Ger, stood with barred head and acknoWl-
edged every salute The vice presldeil-
1ial candidate had a busy time Of it.,
for the marching ranks were apparently
on edge with enthusiasm, and they bonn
barded the rough rider with salutatlons,
formal and imprOmptu.
The parade was splendidly handled
and the divisions moved without a hitch
The massed thousands on the sidewalks
cheered almost continuously and the ar
dor of their enthusiasm declined to De
dampened-
The head of the column left Worth
street promptly at 10 o'clock and reach
ed the reviewing stand at the Worth
monument a few minutes before II
O'Clock. Here Governor Roosevelt alSnt-
ed from the carriage, and with Lieuten-
ant Governor Woodruff, Benjamin b.
OdeII,J r., and others watched the march
ing thousands swing by. All on the
stand uncovered, save Cornelius N.
Bliss.
One of the unusual incidents OF the
parade occurred near Spring street AS
Governor ROosevelt's carriage passed a
tall office building a. tin can, which had
been hurled from one of the windows,
struck the ground just in front of the
found to be empty.
the police escort closed in The can was
ofund to be empty.
The police arrangements were as near
" perfect as possible. Chief Devery was
personally in charge and directed the
movements of his aides from a position
near the head of the line. He was cheer
ed for his good work
Broadway was a mass of flags and
bunting and in some places the march
ers were literally protected from the
elements by the decorations. Fifth ave-
nue. was literally decked out in the ma
tional colors. There was sprinklins, of
Democratic banners along the route
It was estimated that the inclement
weather had affected the parade only
about Is per cent.
After the parade Governor Roosevelt
sent the following dispatch 10 President
Mckinley:
President William Mckinley, Canton,

LIPTON'S NEW YACHT.
English Sportsman Confers With
Glasgow Shipbuilder.

New York, Nov. Sir Thomas Lip
ton is comforting at Glasgow with Geo.
L Watson, the designer of the new
challenger for the Americas cup. says
London dispatch to the Herald.
From authoritative sources it is learn
ed that Sir Thomas visit was for the
building of the yacht. These have been
placed with the Hendersons. Meadow
side yard, the builders of the Thistle, the
three Valkyries, the Britannia, the
Meteor and the Sybarita.
The date specified in the contracts for
the handing over of the vessel is March
80. The framework will be laid down
this week.
The greatest precautions are being
taken to preserve secrecy regarding the
design. A footpath along the banks of
the Clyde, which skirts the Henderson
yards, is already closed.
AS to plans for the sailing of the de-
fender of the cup, what E. A. Willard,
the manager of the new boat, may do in
the matter of selecting a skipper, re-
mains to be seen. Charley Barr, the
successful sailing master of the Column
bia, will be diSengaged at the end of
the year Barr brought the Vigilant
back from England in 1895, and was
with Mr.. Willard in that yacht during
her trial races with the Defender Mr..
Willard is therefore well acquainted
with Captain Bars ability as a sailing
master of cup boats.
There is another rumor about skip
pers. It is that Captain Bob Wringle,
the sailing master of Vice Commodore
Belmont's 70-footer AIineola last season,
will be the sailing master of the Column
bia while she is being used as a trial
boat for the new defender. Also that
when the time rolls around to put the
Columbia. in commission c. Oliver Ise-
lin will be found to be again in charge.
It is now almost a certainty that the
new defender will be plated with bronze,
says a Journal and Advertiser dispatch
from Providence. 1t is known that the
Herreshoffs are partial to this metal
They have experimental with various
metals for tensile and torsional strength,
and none has been found so satisfactory
to Captain Mats mind as a smooth
bronze which successfully resists cor
rosion and presents the minimum of
friction with the maximum of lightness
and durability.
Captain Nat spent a large part of last
week in his private shop at home, and,
it is understood, he has completed his
model of the defender and reduced
many of his plans to writing.
The work of construction, it is rumor-
ed, will probably be started within a
few weeks.

TO SCARE THE SULTAN.
Battleship Kentucky May Steam Into
Turkish Territory.

New York, Nov. 5.-European diplo-
mats are interested in the passage of the
battIeship Kentucky through European
waters. says the Herald'S Washington
correspondent The Kentucky will be
the first American battleship which has
ever beer. across the Atlantic.
When the battleships Oregon and Iowa
left New York, the one for the Asiatc
and the other for the Pacific station,
thew steamed around the Horn. The
orders given the Kentucky required her
to go through the Suez canal. 1t is ex-
pected she will arrive at Gibraltar in
few DAYS and that she will probably find
there the gunboat Wilmington, which
has Just left Teneriffe for that point
1t has been suggested that the Ken
lucky might stop at a Turkish port in
hone that the moral effect her presence
would produce would cause the sultan
to pay the indemnity which this govern
rnent has demanded at frequent inter-
walls for the last six months.
