American Women Looted.

Confederation has been received at the
State Department of allegations that
American women attached to the lega-
ton at Pckin during the siege were prob
ably guilty of looting the Sacred Palace
after the fight of the court, although
the particulars are of character that
will not permit of any action being taken.
In an interview at New York Sir
Claude Macdonald, former British Min
lister at Pekin, stated that Lady Mac
donald withdrew from the palace when
several women and members of a party
from the legations began to take some
OF the curios, and, while she did not pro-
test. she disapproved of the proceedings.
Minister Conger some time ago for
warded to the State Department the re-
suit of an inquiry he had made which ap-
parently indicated that no deliberate
attempt had been made at looting. Not
withstanding this report the officials are
inclined to credit the allegations Among
those said TO have been present at the
time Lady Macdonald withdrew from
the palace was an American lady who
IS said to have been at the bottom OF the
fenlninity' referred to by Admiral
Reney in connection with charges
against Captain Hall, of the marine
corps

FIVE YEARS FOR BARKER.
Assailant of Rev. John Keller Receives Al.
most the Full Penalty.

Jersey City, N. J. (SpeciaD.-A SEN
tence OF five years imprisonment in the
State prison at Trenton was imposed
on Thomas G. Barker, convicted a few
days ago of committing a felonious as
sault on Rev. John Keller, OF Arlington.
Neither Mrs. Barker nor Mr.. Keller
was present when sentence was passed
Albert {. WALL OF counsel for Barker
asked Judge Blair to consider the pris-
oner's previous good character and the
fact that his life before this act of vio-
lence had been excellent. His act was
one OF passion. instigated by love of
home, and il his crime had not been
against clergyman it might have been
viewed differently. although legally it
would have been the same. Barker, he
said. told the truth and was convicted
by it,
Cannot Jersey Justice" asked Mr..
Wall in conclusion, take cognizance
Of these things? And cannot your
Honor mitigate his sentence because OF
them?"
Judge Blair, in passing sentence, said
to the prisoner:
Your conviction will teach lesson.
1t was inevitable. While the court feels
that you are guilty, yet it also feels that
there rs something in your case which
may be overlooked, and therefore the
Court will not impose the full term OF
seven years, but will sentence you to
tive years at hard labor in State prison."

Revenue Stamps on Letters.

In view of the fact that many thou
sands of dollars worth of war revenue
stamps are left in the possession of the
public, about the redemption of which
there will be much loss of time, it was
proposed that these stamps be used for
postage. This would enable the holders
OF the stamps to avoid excessive delay
and possible loss.
Mr.. John W. Yerkes. Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, said:
This proposition seems to be a very
rational one You remember when the
War Revenue act went into effect in 1893
1t was physical impossibiity to print
and distribute on time the stamps that
were needed. Therefore, sheets OF pos
tage stamps were simply run through the
press again, and on each stamp the let
tiers l. r., meaning internal revenue.
were printed, and the postage stamps
thus transformed were used as docu-
mentary stamps on bank checks. tee-
grams, express receipts, etc What is
now proposed would simply be reversing
what was done then and turning the
revenue stamps. into postage stamps"

Accident Due to careIessness Of the Pilot.

South Norwalk, CT (Special) Seven
hundred employees OF the John w. Green
hat factory left Danbury for IN ccursiou
to Glen Island, the steamer Mohawk be-
ing chartered for the trip. After spend
ing the day on the island the party
boarded the steamer for the return trip
at about s o'clock The steamer had
been under way about 10 miuntes when
the excursionists were startled by tre-
mendous crash the ship having struck q
rock. A panic then followed, during
which every one of the 700 passengers
on board scrambled for the life-prcser-
vers.
In the crush which followed women
and children were knocked down and
trampled upon. One child had an arm
broken and another was picked up Seri-
ously injured about the body.
During the excitement the steamer had
been steadily sinking. and ten minutes
after the crash the first deck was sub
merged.
Three launches which were nearby
when the accident occurred had by this
time nearly reached the disabled steamer
They Immediately went TO the rescue OF
the passengers who jumped overheard
The passengers on the second deck
were by this time in nearly as bad pre-
dicament as their fellow excursionists on
the first deck had been a short time be-
fore. The water was Just beginning to
wash over the deck when the excursion
steamer Myndert Satearn arrived from
the island and took on board the remain
ing passengers
The accident was caused by the pilot
of the steamer going on the wrong side
of the buoy which marks the course to
be followed by steamers to and from
the island.
John O'Rourk. manager of the cxcur-
sion, said that had it not been for the
fact that the accident happened in com
paratively shallow water the loss OF life
would have been terrible.

LIVE NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
Surplus Revenue Is $4,000. .OO0

The comparative statement OF the gov
eminent receipts and expenditures for
fiscal year just ended shows an excess
of receipts over disbursements of ap-
proximately $4,000 600 This is only
about four million dollars below the esti-
mate made by Congress at the begin
ming of the last session in December,
1000, at which time the Secretary esti-
mated the receipts from customs would
be about $245, ,ooo, 900. The receipts from
internal revenue sources were estimated
last December at $3oo, o,ooo, 900, while the
final figures will show over S3o7 900 COO
The receipts from miscellaneous sources
were estimated at $34 1000, 600. These will
also show considerable increase. The
expenditures for the year will be seven
millions in excess of the estimate. Dur
ing the fiscal year 1000 the surplus reve-
nues amounted to nearly $24 ,ooo
while the surplus for the present year
will reach $76,ooo,ooo and possibly q still
higher figure.
In view OF the fact that the Revenue
Reduction Bill passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress will go into operation
at the beginning of the fiscal year, Treas.
ury officials estimated that the loss from
this source will be about $Io,oco, 900. 1t
IS not expected, however, that the net re-
duction from this source will reach that
amount, as the officials look forward to
a year of even greater prosperity than
the one just closing. II this expectation
is realized, the officials believe that the
revenues from internal sources alone will
not be greater than S3o,ooo,ooo below
the figures of the present year 1t is also
confidently expected that the receipts
from customs will materially increase
during the coming IL months so that,
Notwithstanding the reduction made in
the last revenue bill, the total receipts
from all sources may even reach or ex-
ceed those of the fiscal year of 1901

forces were leaving Pekin they ought
also to evacuate Shanghai The consuls
are referring the matter to their respec-
tive governments.
Washington (Spccial) "A curious
discrepancy concerning the amount OF
the Chinese indemnitics has developed,
by which it appears that China has
agreed to pay about $4,000, 900 taels, or
$24,5ooooo, more than the united de
mands of all the powers Just how this
occurred is not clear to officials, but it
appears to have been an error OF calcula-
ton at Peking in the first place by those
making up the indemnities, and later by
the Chinese in their hasty acceptance of
the total. AS finally made up. this total
was 45o,ooo,ooo taels; but the present
calculation, after taking into account all
the demands that are known, makes the
total only 4I5,ooo. 600 taels. In the mean
time China has agreed to pay the larger
amount, so that the question now arises,
What will become of the excess of as
ooo, 900 taels.

Washington (SpeciaD 1t is now re-
