GRATIFYING, SAYS GAGE.
Secretary of the Treasury Says Government
Receipts Are Increasing and Expenses
Gradually Decreasing.

Chicago, Oct. Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, who is staying, a few
days at the home of his son in
Evanston before going to Colorado to
spend his vacation, said in regard to
the present large surplus in the treas.
ury. "The prosperous condition Of
the country must be most gratifying.
From June 30, 1901, to September 26.
the revenue amounted to $136, 900. OO0
The expenditures during this time
were $121, OOO,O This left an excess
of nearly $15,00O,0OO. During the
same period in 1900 the receipts were
$139, 100000 and the expenditures the
same. 1t was estimated when the
present revised revenue law was put
in force on July 1, that the revenue
receipts from all sources would fall
off some $40,OOO,O 900 by reason of the
reductions made. If that had been
realized the receipts since that time
would have been $7,5OO,O0O less, or
$12S,OO0, 900. Notwithstanding the re-
duction in taxes, the receipts have
diminished by less than $4,000, 900
from what they were a year ago,
while the expenditures have decreased
by over $17,00O,OOO for the same pc.
riod."

THE STORY D1scRED1rED.
Friends Of tho Mckinley Family Do Not
Believe Attempt Was Made to Desc
crate the Presidents Tomb.

Canton, O., Oct. Friends of the
late President Mckinley emphatically
discredit belief that the shot reported
fired by the guard Deprend at West
lawn cemetery last night was on ac-
count of any attempt to desecrate the
tomb. They do not attempt to ex-
plain the strange story of the guards
or account for the firing of the shot
which cemetery officials and other
residents nearby say they heard, and
they do not believe that two men
would undertake to make an attack
on the vault with seven soldiers on
guard or near at hand. 1t is believed
that the military authorities will
make thorough investigation of the
stories told by the soldiers on guard
Sunday night. There are unconfirmed
rumors that the shot was fired on
account of an accidental fail and also
that it was the result of personal
differences.

TO HONOR MCKINLEY.
Proposition to Change Name OF Philippine
Islands to the 'Mckinley Islands," to
PerPet1ate Late President's Name.

Washington, Oct. IA suggestion
emanating from a high source, and
which is meeting with widespread ia
vor, is to change the name of the
Philippine islands to the Mckinley
islands. The object is, of course, to
perpetuate the name and glory of
the martyred president and his ad-
ministration. 1t is intended to bring
the proposition before the next con-
gress, and it is not doubted that it
will be accepted without question if
presented in the proper manner. It
is pointed out that this proposed
change would link his name with the
government of the country for all
time; and also would be constant
and conspicuous reminder to future
generations throughout the world
that it was in his administration that
the republic expanded its influence
to the orient.

tate. After first meeting Mrs Mo
Kinley the question of filing the will
was taken up. The trying task O:
reading it to her was undertaken b,
the faithful secretary. Mrs. McKinle,
made q heroic effort to bear up ane.
succeeded in doing so, although tn.
ordeal was hard for her. She is rest
ing we'll All legal formalities neces
sary for her to subscribe to were
disposed of. Judge Day and Secre-
tary Cortelyou then went to the office
of the probate judge and offered the
will of President Mckinley for pro-
bate. They carried with them the
following:
I, Ida Mckinley, widow of William Nc
Kinley, hereby decline the administra-
ton of his estate and recommend the ap-
pointment of William r. Day and George
B. COrtelyou as administrators with the
will annexed.
Following is the text of President
McKinley's will:
Executive Mansion. Washington. Oct.
p, 1871 publish the following as my
latest will and testament, hereby revok-
ing all former wills: To my beloved wife,
Ida s. Mckinley, I bequeath all of my
real estate, wherever situated, and the
income of any personal property of which
l may be possessed at death, during her
natural life. I make the following charge
upon al of my property, both real and
personal: To pay my mother during her
life $1,000 year, and at her death said
sum to be paid to my sister, Helen Nc
ktnley. If the income from property be
insufficient to keep my wife in great com.
fort and pay the annuity above provided.
then 1 direct that such of my property
be sold so as to make a sum adequate
for both purposes. Whatever property
remains at the death of my wife I give
to my brother and sisters share and
share alike. My chief concern is that nv
wife from my estate shall have all she
requires for her comfort and pleasure
and that my mother shall be provided
with whatever money she requires to
make her old age comfortable and happy
1t Is given out on authority that
the Mckinley estate will total S225.
600 to $250,O00, including life insur.
ance of $4,000. Aside from the $67.-
900 mentioned the estate consists of
real estate here and contiguous to
Canton and of deposits in Washing.
ton banks. Monday morning at nine

court for hearing prior to probat-
ing the will. Then, it is expected,
Secretary Cortelyou and Judge Day
will be finally appointed admins
traitors of the estate with will an.

scHLEY COURT INQUIRY.
Lieut.. Hood Tells of the Admiraps Refusal
to Leave Cienfuegos ON Orders
from Sampson.

washington, Sept. 2S.-1n the Schley
court of inquiry Friday letter was
presented from Rear Admiral Samp.
son asking to be allowed to be rep.
resented in the court by counsel, but
the court refused to grant the re.
quest on the ground that "the court
does not at this time regard you as
party to the case"
The principal witnesses of the day
were Lieut.. John Hood, who com
manded the dispatch boat The Hawk
during the Spanish war, and Capt Nc
Gala, who was in command of the
Marblehead. The testimony of both
these officers dealt with the delivery
of dispatches from Admiral Sampson
to Commodore Schley, and both re-
lated conversations with the latter.
Capt. McCalla gave in detail his part
IN arranging code of signals with
the Cuban insurgents and his COM
municatiOns with them near Cienfuc-
gos on May "a, 1898, when it was
learned definitely that Cervera's fleet
was not in the harbor there. He said
that Capt. Chadwick, who was Admi-
raj SIMPSONS chief of staff, was the
only person at Key West to whom he
had communicated the signal code.
Capt. McCalla expressed the opinion
that coaling was feasible off Santiago
ut the time Schley began his retro
grade movement.
Lieut.. Hood, who commanded The
Hawk. testified that he delivered or
ders from Sampson to Schley May
%. directing that the flying squad
rom leave Cienfuegos Immediately
for Santiago, where the Spanish fleet
had been located. Schley said tc
the dispatch bearer: 81 cannot do it.
| am not certain that the Spanish
feet is not in Cienfuegos" Admiral
Schleys supporters have claimed that
nc was not notified of the arrange
ment by which Cubans on shore were
TO signal the presence of the Cervera
deet. In the examination the defense
endeavored to bring out the truth
u that statement from the witnesses
and, to some extent, succeeded.
