Annlications for Gold Transfers.

Washington. March 5. Secretary
Shaw has received number of appli-
cations from New York bankers ask
ling for permission to deposit gold in
| the New York sub treasurey and with
draw equal amounts from the sub
treasury at San Francisco. Altho these
applications aggregate in amount from
$50, 100000 to $60,000,000, the treasury
officials feel no uneasiness in conse-
ouence, as 1t is. understood that the
actual amount of gold needed in San
Francisco will hardly exceed a total of
$50, 100000, and that the applications in
excess of this amount were made with
q view to ascertaining what the treas
ury would do in case the aggregate
should reach the larger sum. Secretary

pisapproved by the President.

Washington, March 5.-In conference
with members of congress President
Roosevelt expressed his disapproval of
the civil service provision of the bill
creating a permanent census bureau,
which has passed both houses and is
now before him. The bill extends the
provisions of the civil service law to all
the clerks at present employed in the
census office, numbering about LOO,
and the president takes the position
that this action is an injustice to those
who have passed and who may pass the
civil service examination prescribed by
law. He is, however. very anxious to
have a permanent census bureau and
the opinion is expressed by those who
have talked with him that he will sign
the bill and then seek so to regulate by
executive order the appointments under
the bill as to avoid the injustice of
which he complains.

War Revenue Reduction.

Washington, March 5.-The house
bill for the repeal of the war revenue
bill and providing for the removal OF
the duty on tea received its first con-
sideration at the hands of the senate
committee on finance yesterday, and
when the committee adjourned MEM
bers expressed the opinion that the
measure would be favorably reported
after one or two more sittings. No OPP
position was expressed to the measure
as q whole but the time of the meet
ing was given over to discussion OF
the features of the bill and probable
effect of its enactment into law on the
finances of the country. Senator Aids
rich, as chairman of the committee,
presented carefully compiled state
ment showing the expenditure and re-
ceipts of the country for the past fiji
teen years. According to the state
ment, receipts for the fiscal year 1901
exceeded the expenditures to the ex-
tent of SOS, 100000. The average in
ternal revenue receipts under the war
revenue act are $6S,000,0O0, and those
collected on importations of tea, $4,000
600, leaving still a surplus of more than
$50, 100000 per year after the abolition
of the proposed taxes.

Norfolk, Va March 5-A mob Of 500
strikers sympathizers thronged the
streets of Norfolk yesterday on which
the main line of the Norfolk Railway
& Light Company cars running and the
police were unable to cope with 1t from
noon until after dark, when the cars,
guarded by military guards, which had
been run with difficulty all day, were
day-housed in the barns. In the section
where the barns are the military were
in control of the situation. Cars were
repeatedly derailed, wagon loads of
stones were piled on the tracks and free
fights between the military guards and
the crowd occurred during the day at
frequent intervals.
In one difficulty sergeant ran bay
onet into the arm of II. III. Harmanzf,
barber. Mrs. Harmanzf, who was
standing by her husband at the time,
knocked the sergeant to the ground
with both fists and discolored the face
of Lieut.. Gale, who was near her. Sew
eral soldiers were struck by missiles
thrown thru the windows of the cars.
A number of arrests have been made,
both by the police and the military.
A conference was held by Mayor
Beaman. Police Chief Victims and Col.

alive to placing the city under martial

The police force of 100 men has been

unable to meet the emergency. 1t is
possible that the four additional COM
panies Of the regiment and battery OF
artillery will be called for this morning
to take charge of the city.

ment have been in the position Of
treating with lawless brigands.
The matter has been still further
complicated by the action of Mr.. Dick
inson informally notifying the Turkish
government that he did not want in
reference from the Turkish troops.
The willy diplomats of the Porte, not
satisfied with verbal representations
in this direction, asked that Mr.. Dick
sinson put his request for non interfer-
ence in writing. Dickinson did so.
This placed the Turkish government
in position which apparently justi-
fed II in making no further effort in
behalf of Miss Stone until after her
release. Government officials here re-
allied at the time that our represent
ative was making great mistake, but
there We're so many blunders In the
management of the Miss Stone case
that early in it's progress, after re-
peated failures to correct these errors
on the scene, the department was
obliged to let matters take their
course.
Still further complications arise over
the question of responsibility, which,
In spite of the demands of our gov
eminent, are in grave doubt. The
question as to just where the abduc-
ton was committed and what people
were responsible for 1t is unsettled,
even in the minds of the best in
formed here. In view of the doubts
which have arisen in the case, there
is grave question as to the ability Of
the United Statets to enforce its claim.

Washington March 5.-The beet SUI
the Cuban reciprocity bill and they fee
strong enough to defeat it with demo-
cratic votes. These beet sugar men
have received aid from the high tariff
men, and encouragement from the
democrats, until they have become con
fident of their ability to overrule the
ways and means committee and the
compromise measure drafted by the
republican members OF that committee
The two conferences of republicans
held last week and Monday night re-
suited in nothing but talk. A week age
Mr.. Payne monopoized the time with
one of his dreary speeches. and Mon
day night Representatives Tawney and
Morris, of Minnesota, took up all the
time with speeches against the ways
and means bill, against reciprocity and
in favor of a rebate given direct to the
Cuban planters.
The republican leaders have been
canvassing the situation to see what is
possible at the next conference Thurs
day night. Speaker Henderson had a
number of the house leaders with him
iat luncheon, and they went over the
situation carefully. The republican
delegations from Michigan, Minnesota.
Nebraska and California, with num-
Der Of those from New York, are impla-
cable In their opposition to reciprocity.
and the tiinidity shown by the speaker
and the ways and means committee has
encouraged this minority into the worst
sort of belligerency that has been
known in the house since the passage
Of the Cuban war resolutions.
Tawney claims that he has behind
him a majority of the house republi-
cans. The house leaders do not con-
cede this. Their canvass shows a ma
jority of the republican members in
favor of carrying out the presidents
recommendations and granting .reci-
procity to Cuba. But their canvass also
shows that the opposition will not be
bound by a caucus decision. They will
bolt caucus ii against them, and the
democrats will help them defeat the
majority leaders. The situation is
more serious than any that has faced
Speaker Henderson since he was
elected to that position. 1t is the out
growth of the vaseillating policy pur-
sued by the ways and means commit
tee for two months past, and it will
require strong leadership to bring the
majority into harmony again.
At the conference next Tuesday night
efforts will be made to bring Tawney
and Babcock to a realization of their
responsibility in demoraliZing the house
so that they will consent to allow the
majority of the party to decide on leg
islation. 1t is not certain that any
agreement can be reached Thursday
night or in the near future. 1t is quite
probable that another conference will
have to be called for next week.

INDIANS ASK INTERVENTION.
Occur D'AIene Tribe Unable to Select
New Chief.

Washington March 5-The presi-
dent has a new political proposition
before him. Following the contests in
Missouri, Texas, Illinois and other
states over the distribution of federal
patronage comes a case from Idaho
that is at least unique. The contest
is among the Occur D'Alene Indians
over the selection of a chief. Old Sal
tise, the present chief, is nearly so
years of age, blind and rapidly losing
the mental faculties that made him
the natural leader of the $50 members
of the tribe. For months the members
of the tribe have been caucusing over
the selection of a successor to Saltise.
The tribe has divided into a dozen fac
tons, and every vile known to trained
politicians of the more civilized dis
tricts has been employed to further the
claims of the different aspirants for
tribal leadership.
AS a result of the contest delega-
ton of the tribe, seven in number, has
come to Washington and appealed to
President Roosevelt and Mr. Jones,
commissioner of Indian affairs. to Sc
lect their chief. The Indians called
upon the president and the indian
commissioner. Pierre c-Til- Ma
one of the candidates for chief, heads
the delegation. He has an eloquent
appeal for Intervention. which he has
fired at the President and the COM
missioner thru an interpreter, but fur
nishing his own eloquent gestures.
The president and the commissioner
have managed thus far to keep from
committing themselves, and Moc-Til-
Ma has expressed his intention of
camping in Washington until a decis-
ion is reached in the case.

sibility and denies all liability
Washington Not Advised.
Washington. March 5.--The state
department had not been advised of
the demand by Minister Leishman on
the Porte for indemnity on account
of the capture of Miss Stone by brig
ands. 1t is not believed here that the
demand will take that form when
made This government if it makes a
case against the Turkish government,
will do so on account of it's failure to
take steps toward the apprehension of
the brigands who effected the kidnap-
ing. The Turkish government may
take the position that it is still try
ing to capture the brigands and make
them suffer for their act Our only
claim would lie in case it can be dem
onstrated that no such efforts have
been made.
The position of the United States in
it's effort to secure from Turkey re-
turn of the amount of the ransom
money paid for Miss Stone would be
one of unusual embarrassment. Tho
demand, If it has ben made, will be
pressed in good faith by our repre-
sentatives in Turkey. How far the
United States will care to go in the
enforcement of such a claim is prob
lematical. There is a strong belief
that this country will be placed in an
unusual attitude when the case is fully

of Commons.
Nearly $3.50, 100000 Is Asked for

England Now Feeding 100000
Men and 243,OOO Horses in
South Africa.

London, March 5.-In introducing the
army estimates-$346,55 $50, 000-in the
house of commons, the war secretary
Mr.. Brodrick, entered into q long de-
Tense of the war office, which, he con-
tended had done it's work well, consid-
ering that war had never been Waged
on such a scale as the South African
war. The war Office today was feeding
300, 600 men and $4,000 horses in South
Africa, and there We're no complaints on
that score. The experiences of the last
year had confirmed the necessity for
changes in the army administration, in
decentralization, ETC., as outlined by the
government last year. Military officers
and clerks were being rapidly substi-
tuted in the war office for civilian Off
GERS and clerks.
In regard to recruiting, Mr.. Brodrick
believed the limit had been reached. No
reduction in the strength of the army
could be expected, and probably the In
dian garrison must be increased. The
country had already had enough ex-
perience of allowing the colonial gar
risons to sink below their proper limits.
With the view of giving FLIP to re-
oruiting, the government proposed to
allow enlistment for three years. with
nine years in the reserve, and with the
object of inducing men to enlist for In
dia and elsewhere abroad it was pro-
posed to give every one clear shilling
per day. IT, after two years, the SOL
der decided to serve eight years with
the colcrs and four years in the service.
he would be paid an extra sixpence
daily. Mr.. Brodrick believed this
would result in enlisting better class
of men.
In regard to the much-d discussed
question Of volunteers, Mr.. Brodrick
declared that if the volunteers were to
be bar to CONSUMPTION they must make
themselves efficient. 1t was proposed to-
establish volunteer reserve Of men
over 40 years of age, who were unable
to comply with the ordinary regulations
and establish during the present year
military reserve Of $4,000 men. The ed
ucation of all officers would be vigor-
ously prosecuted, and the expenses of
young officers would be lightened.
