 900 a Year.
CAN ALSO RAISE ANOTHER

Havana, August 5.-The senate today discussed and approved in part, to em- power the executive to raise a loan of $4, 00O0O0 at the minimum price of 90 and at the maximum rate of interest of 5 per cent, payable in thirty years. to be used to assist the sugar cane growers of the island.

This second loan Is to be used to pay the Cu- ban revolutionary army and the debts of the revolution referred to in the consti- tuition.
 Some changes in the original draft of the bill regarding securities have been made, at present the executive is em- powered to pledge the customs receipts in general and the receipts due from increased duties of certain articles in par ticular as security, first for the loan of s4. 100000 and then for the loan of $S5,000 OOO As result of this change the clause which provided that congress should vote special taxes before the end of the pres ent session to secure the second loan of $35, 900 is rendered unnecessary because as the draft was first presented the above mentioned security only referred to the S4G00, ,0O0 loan.

WARM CAMPAIGN
 OPENS IN VERMONT
PRINCIPAL SPEAKER WAS LESLIE M. SHAW, WHO SAYS DEMO- CRAFTS HAVE NO POLICY Or
 THEIR oWN-DEFENDs TARIFF.

Manchester Vt. August D. - The political campaign in Vermont. which IS considered an extraordinary one by reason of the bolting faction in the repub- lican party, was opened here tonight in behalf of the regular republican nominee tor governor, Gen. J. G. Mccullough. The chief speaker was Secretary of the Treas- ury L. M. Shaw, a native of the state. The secretary said that the tariff issue Is always resorted to by the democratic party to provide an issue except in those years when experiments had been in tariff for revenue only.
 In those years he said they had been driven to other issues to bridge over the period between the date of their ex- periments and the forgetfulness of the American people.
 Continuing he said the democratic party now lays great stress upon the trust question. It is iterated and reiterated that the tariff is the mother of trusts, and the democracy again promises reform.
 Secretary Shaw said it was doubtful If any tariff schedule had been devised satisfactory in every particular to any person The republican party never at- tempts to defend a tariff schedule but does defend the protective principle, It Is probable, he said. that many items of the present tariff schedule should be mod flied but no modification could be made that would not still leave many items in dispute. The question is whether there are inaccuracies, inequalities or im- perfections in the present, but whether 1t is wise to attempt a revision at this time. It is idle to suppose that any rcvi- sion would satisfy those who have no revision policy of their own. No policy of legislation, no foreign policy. no in- sular policy, no expansion policy, no Philippine policy. Is or ever will be de- vised that will satisfy the opposition.

CASTRO IS PREPARED.
If Defeated He Will Transfer Seat of
 Government and Continue War.

Willemstad, August 5.-Four million cartridges and 10000 Mauser rifles were received by President Castro last Sat urday. Half of these were deposited in Caracas and the other half was sent to Maracaibo on a schooner. This distribu- ton of munitions of war Is taken to be proof that if Castro's forces are beaten, in the expected engagement with the revolutionists, and If the President can escape, he intends to proiong resistance and purposes to transport the headquar- ters of the government to San Cristobal. in the extreme western part of Venez- uela, where he was born. This apparent decision on the part of President Castro has created a feeling of depression in commercial and financial circles.

DEATH ENDED CRUSADE.
Reformer Who Closed Gambling Dens
 In Des Moines Is Murdered.

Des Moines, August 5.-Isaac Finel- stein. whose crusade against public gambling closed eight houses in Des Moines two weeks ago, was murdered to- night at an alley entrance between Sixth and Seventh streets on East Wal nut street He was on his way home less than block and half away when a man stepped out of the shadow of the alley and struck him a blow over the head with a singletree, crushing his skull.
 The murder is supposed to have result ed from Finelstein's action in prosecut- ing the gamblers. He did not object to public gambling. but wanted the city to receive a revenue from it, and when the police did not raid the houses he filed complaints with the sheriff. The resultant raids proved so expensive that the gamblers closed their places.

SALT LAKE IS FALLING.
Since 1894 the Water Has Receded
 Nearly Six Feet-Weather to Blame.

Salt Lake, Utah, August 5.-Great Salt Lake, which has for several years been slowly but steadily receding. has, accord ing to Director Murdock, of the United States weather bureau. now reached the lowest level recorded since observations have been taken by the department. The fall of water since 1894 amounts to nearly six feet, and on the low. fiat eastern shore this has resulted in a recession of the water line during that time of fully three-quarters of a mile. Speaking of this phenomenon, Dr. Murdock said:
 Utah has been in a dry cycle for seven or eight years. In this period the pre- cipitation has been much below the av- craze. Precipitation some times moves in cycles of this kind and duration"
