PAYMASTER ROBBED.
SntcheI in IA Very Mysteri-
Gus Manner,

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 11.-Paymas-
ter Stevens, of the United States
army, arrived from Atlanta Saturday,
and before leaving that city placed
in a hand satcheI 5000 in silver and
$4,000 in paper money, for the pur-
pose of paying the several hundred
artillerymen at Fort Barancas and
McRea their salaries for the past
month. When he reached the fort
he opened his grip and found that all
the paper money, amounting to near
ly $1,000, had been distracted and
that only the 200 silver dollars re-
manned. Amusement and surprise fol-
lowed the discovery, and the news
soon spread, becoming known here
about midnight. The police were in
structed to watch out for the treas
ure. Paymaster Stevens thinks some
professional pickpOcket followed him
and relieved him during the trip. He
cannot recall single incident of the
trip that would lead toanythingon the
robbery, bat has an idea the money
was taken before he left Atlanta.

CLOTHED IN MYSTERY,
IntimatiOn That tho Recent Death of
the Turkish Grand Vizier Was
Not from Natural Causes.

Vienna, Nov. 11.-According to pri-
vate adVices from Constantinople the
death of HALL Rifat Pasha, the grand
vizier of Turkey, was not the result of
naturalillness. stgpringhe was con-
fined to his bed for some weeks, but
since that time he has been well and
attending to his official duties daily.
At the outbreak of the Franco-Turlish
Imbroglio, the sultan proposed several
measures which the vizier cautioned
him against. The minister was acting
for the best interests of the country,
but he incurred the enmity of his mas
ter, and it Is rumored about the palace
that his demise followed the sultan's
displeasure. When the customs at
Mitylene were seized, heated argu-
ment followed, and the next day the
illness of the grand vizier wassoon fol-
lowed by the announcement of his
death. He exhibited symptoms of poi
son, but 1t is probable the facts will
never be known. For many years he
had been the loyal servant of tryran-
nical master, and the sultan was sever
al times saved from assassination by
the shrewdness of his minister. In the
midst of intrigues Hall Rifat re-
NAMED loyal. to his views, and was one

MAYCUT THEM DOWN
Congress to Face Problem of Rev
enue Reduction.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE next
congress will be confronted with the
necessity of reducing the revenues by
$1S0,OOO,OOO a year, in order to avoid
a surplus that will invite reckless APP
preparations. Secretary Gage recent
ly made an estimate of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures,
which predicted a surplus for the
year of $S0,O00,O0O. The tremendous
flow of money which has since start
ed has compelled him to add $50,00O,-
600 to this estimate. Very early in
the session the ways and means COM
mittee will probably bring in bill
materially reducing the internal rev.
enue war taxes. The purchase of
bonds absorbs only a few millions of
dollars at the most and there seems
to be less and less disposition to sell
bonds. The reduction in the war rev.
enues by the latest congress was
much less than estimated. The in
creased business of the country
showed itself in the increased returns
from internal taxation. If all the
war taxes, except those on beer and
tobacco, were to be abolished a re-
duction estimated from $S,OOOOOO to
$15,000,00O would be effected. That
is almost certain to be done, in any
event, and an attempt will be made
also to abolish the extra taxes ON
beer and tobacco, or to modify them
materially. The tax on beer next
year will bring in revenue of more
than $2O,OOO,OOO and the tax on to-
bacco about the same amount.

here IS years ago, when John
B. O'Reilly presided. Since that time,
he said, he had been engaged in and
out of the house of commons, in
many countries and in the prison
cell for the Irish cause. He gave a
detailed account of the work of unit
ing the various factions, which has
resulted in the United Irish league.
He and his colleagues had come to
America to proclaim three things:
First. The unity of the Irish race.
Second. To explain the policy of
the United Irish league.
Third. To ask for the moral and
material support from the Irish race
in America, from their descendants
and the American people themselves.
