stitutions.
Some Figures Relative to Tax
Receipts and Probable
Expenditures.

Des Moines, Sept. 13.-The surplus in
the state treasury has been reduced at
this date to about 100000. Bert Gunder-
sor revenue clerk in the Office of Audi
tor of State Merriam, was asked Thurs
day if this surplus would be dissipated
by the ordinary expenditures and ex-
traordinary appropriations of the state
before July l. He thought not. I'VE will
receive heavy payments of taxes this
month and in April he said. besides
other other heavy revenues between this
heavy appropriation which we must
meet is the sS6O.000 one at Cherokee. My
opinion is that the surplus in the state
treasury next July will be somewhere
between $4,000 and 100000
These facts were elected because some
question had been raised concerning the
Registers estimate of the funds availa-
BILE and the liberal appropriations which
would be asked from the legislature this
winter for the st. Louis exposition, the
educational institutions and the state
historical department. 1t was said in
some quarters that the legislature would
not have the surplus now in the treas
ury to eXpend because the ordinary and
extraordinary expenses of the state be-
tween this and July next would eat it
up, and also the revenue received dur
ing that period. Mr.. Grhderson's state
ment disposes of the matter.
Treasury officials agr,se to the esti-
mate, it may be added. Chief Clerk
Maris. of the office of Treasurer Gilbert
son, said that in making an estimate,
however, it should be remembered that
the appropriation period ends with April
j, before the April payment of taxes is
received. Mr.. Maris also furnishes the
following statement from the treasur-
er's books, showing the uneXpended bal
.snces of appropriations subject to with
drawal from the treasury before April 1:

LONDON, Jan 25.-The House of Com
mons met at o'clock this afternoon 10
receive the first message from King Ed
ward VII to the House
Many peers were IN the places specially
reserved for them and many ladies, inciud-
ing peeresses, were in the galleries.
Mr.. A J. Balfour, First Lord of the
Treasury. and Government leader. brought
up message from the King which the
speaker, William Court Gully, read as fol-
lows:
The King is fully assured that the
House Of Commons viii share the deep
sorrow which has befauen His Majesty
and the nation BY the death OF His
Majesty-s mother, the late queen Her
devotion 10 the welfare Of her country
and her wise and beEehCent rule dur
ing sixty-fOur years Of glorious reign
Will ever be held IN afTsctionate mem-
DRY by her loyal and devoted subjects
throughout the DominiOls Of the Brit
ish Empire
Mr.. BaIfour. after the reading OF the
message, rose amid impressive silence TO
move an address TO the King. He said:
The history of this House IS not
brief or uneventful one but I think
III
stances than today or had a duty
laid upon II more clearly of express
ing a universal sorrow which extends
not only from one end Of the k-ngdlm
to the other but from one end OF the
Empire 20 the Cther-a sorrow which
fills every heart and which every cit
izen of this great Empire feels not
merely as & national but also as an
irreparable personal loss
i don know how others may feel.
but for ny OWL part l can hardly yet
realize the magnitude OF the blow
which has fallen on the country Il
was a blow, Indeed, which We had
sorTowfully 70 expect, but not on Lnat
account was il any the less heavy
when it fell
= suppose that IL all the history Of
the British monarchy there has never
been a case when the feeling OF IA
tional grief has been so deep-seated
as al presenI-so universal. so sPOnJa-
neous-aud that grief affects Us not
merely because Of the loss which has
fallen on u.s. but because we feel. as
ii were, that the need Of . great epoch
has eOm@an epoch the beginning OF

CRY Of any individual ] an now ad-
dressing and which embraces within

ture 10 think that this epoch has been
more important, more crowded with
great changes Eban almost any other
period Of the same length that could be
selected in the history Of the world.
1T is wonderful to think when so
many changes now familiar 70 US and
almost yulgariZed by constant discus
sion aud repetition were yet unthought
of or uudeveloped; those great indus-
trial Inventions those great economic
changes; those great discoveries OF

UPRISING OF THE CREEKS.
Gen. Pleasant Porter Regards Re
ports as Sensational

Gen. Pleasant Porter Regards Re-
ports "a Sensational
The reports Of an armed uprising among
the Creek and Choctaw Indians is large
" discounted at the Office Of Indian At
fairs. Capt J. S. Standby. representative
of the Choctaw Nation in Washington,
called on Commissioner Jones this morn
ing and left with him a message received
from Green McCurtain, a former chief of
the Choctaws The Commissioner regards
McCurtain as one OF the most intelligent
men in the Choclaw Nation. The mes
sage is as follows:
Snake party exc5t"2.ent is exaggerated
by schemers.'
Gen. Pleasant Porter. Chief Of the Creek
Nation. is in this city. He believes the
messages received from Marshal Bennett
are more sensational than warranted by
the facts He is il receipt If the follow
ing message from Henrietta. within six
or eight miles Of the seat Of the encamp-
ment of he troublesome Indians:
"Chitto Hargo and followers are in
camps Say they are going 20 enforce old
laws Understand whipped a man, and
have one chained to Try for lie Have put
IN notices to fine $500 and .fty lashes on
bare back to any Indian rep ting 10 white
man. Proposeste coniscate all buildings
put up by white people All are armed-
WIN give us trouble if not looked after"
General Porter states tha. the trouble
is caused by Indians who dissent from the
present plan of the Government to aboI-
ish the old tribal customs and laws, al
lotting lands to individuals instead OF
having them held in common, and the or
gauization of all the Indians OF the Indian
Territory under one government. He
said.
The Creeks. or Snakes. are the follow
ers oE Chitto Hargo. or Crazy Snake.
Chitto HargO was in Washington few
weeks ago, and upon mis- return he called
a meeting of his followers AID represented
to them that he had been authorized by
the department TO re-estabiish their for
mer government. While in Washington.
Crazy Snake saw the Commissioner Of In
dian Affairs. who stated &c him that he
had no rights as a representative Of the
Creeks
Many have been deceived by his talk,
and believe they are carrying out the
wishes of the Government. and the pres
ent disturbance has resulted
The Department OF Justice Ills morning
received another ugent ar0eal from Mar
shall Bennett asking for aus 3r!ty TO spend
money TO lake action in s:sF pressing the
Snake Indian outbreak in Indian Territory.
Marshal Bennett this morning wired the
following:
Attorney General Washington:
Respectfully and earnestly request authority
to expend not exceeding $50 under section SIC
to meet unusual difficulty attending execution
Of process. Actual defiance OF Federal author
ity and disturbances Of extraordinary character
Prompt authorization. Urgent.
BENNETT. Marshal
In response TO the message, Attorney
General Griggs sent the marshal author

not very enthusiastic over the PROPOSE
tion of a great fair. but nov' that it has

has not even been selected as yet, and
two years is brief enough time for
such a project as is contemplated, and
We cannot afford TO postpone it another
year, as that would throw The fair into
the summer of the Presidential cam
paign. We received some Subscriptions
from outside of the State, but the great
bulk OF the contributions were from our
own city and State"
