SURPRISING RESULTS.
Compilation of Tariff Returns on Goods
From Philippines Is interesting.

Washington, September 1.-surprising
results have followed the compilation
of tariff returns on goods imported from
the Philippine islands during the first five
months of the operation of the Philip
pines tariff act, approved March last
Under that act rs per cent of the pingley
rates were to be collected on Philippine
imports into the United States and this
is held to be as a trust fund in the United
States treasury. Although when the act
was passed 1t was restrictive of trade it
was argued that as the returns would be
somewhere in the neighborhood of $780,
900 per annum, that consideration would
outweigh the drawbacks of maintaining
tariff system against the Philippines
The returns just published in the treas
ury show that the total receipts for the
five months of March, April, May, June
and July were but s11, 1874, a sum so small
in the opinion of the officials as to scarce
ly meet the cost of collection.
Moreover the returns by months do not
show any increase but rather a decrease
in the collections. These facts will be
brought TO the attention of congress at Its
next session.

In Presence of His Ruined Daughter

ated and the Children Had Been

to Have Been Accomplished Mt Fair
Here Last Fall.
Valdosta Ga, May 29.-News reaches
this city from Pinetta, just over the
Florida line. of the killing of w. A
Hollingsworth, a we'll known citizen, by
Samuel Scarboro, another citizen. The
killing occurred in the field where Hol-
lingsworth was blowing and was wit
messed by Scarboro's son and daugh-
ter, both of whom had been living iii
Hollingsworth's family for a number
of years.
1t is said that Scarboro's wife parted
from him several years ago and that
she gave her two children to Hollings-
worth to be brought up by him. Scar
boro in the meantime disappeared from
the country and nothing was heard
from him up to a short time ago, when
he returned. During the Savannah
Fair last fall Hollingsworth and the
young girl went to Savannah to attend
the fair, and, according to a story
which she has recently told, he be-
trayed her, and brought her to ruin.
When her father returned to this sec
ton he found ont the condition In
which his daughter was in and sought
a consultation with her. She is said
to have given him these facts.
Yesterday the father secured a pls-
toll and carried his daughter to the
field where Hollingsworth and young
Scarboro were at work. The young
woman was made to repeat the accu-
sations against Hollingsworth and
then the father fired three shots into
his body, causing almost instant
death. Scarboro then went to Madi-
son, where he surrendered to the
sheriff. He is a man of about sixty
years of age and much sympathy is
expressed for him.
Hollingsworth is also a man of FAM
lily and has been a prominent farmer
and tie contractor for some time, hav-
ing furnished nearly all of the ties
which have been used in the construc-
ton of the Valdosta Southern road.

CLOSE TO CRATER

American Scientists Are Studying
the Craters.
Fort de France, Martinique. May 20,
noon.-The crater of Mont Pelee has
been approached within one mile. This
feat was accomplished Tuesday after
noon by George j. Kavanaugh, an un-
attached newspaper man, who had ac-
conpanied Prof. Robert T. Hill, the
United States government geologist, on
his expedition.
When Prof. Hill turned south to-
ward st. Pierre, Mr.. Kavanaugh con-
tinued on past Morne Rouge. His
route seems to have been along or near
the Gale Basse divide. He says he
descended from Morne Rouge into the
valley between Morne Rouge and Mont
Pelee. This valley was deeply strewn
with ashes. Mr.. Kavanaugh was guild
cd by an aged negress, to where an old
foot path once led to Lake Palmiste,
near the summit of the crater. There
an iron cross, twenty feet high. was
buried in ashes to within a foot of its
top. Before him stretched upward the
mountain slope, covered with ashes
which soaked by the heavy rains and
baked by the sun and volcano heat
looked like a cement sidewalk. The
whole mountain top was shrouded in
smoke.
Forgetful of the explosion of the
previous night and the awful sudden
ness of the outbursts and tempted by
the seemingly easy ascent, he contin-
ued upward and made photographs and
rough sketches. Mr. Kavanaugh
found the valley filled with ashes and
two great riffs, which he was afraid TO
approach. At O'Clock in the evening
he turned back, reaching Morne Rouge
at about 8 o'clock. He had made no
new observations, and realized his dan
ger only the next morning when oc-
Cured the greatest outburst since Mont
Pelee's first eruption.
Entire Hamlet Destroyed.
On Wednesday, Mr.. Kavanaugh tried
| to descend to st. Pierre, but failed. He
| found a little hamlet in a valley near
the mountain, black with $50 dead
bodies. They were not carbonized, nor
! had their clothing been burned off
Probably this valley lay near the inner
edge of the zone of blasting flame

CIVIC FEDERATION'S PLAN.
Now working on stock n OIders of the

New York. May 29.-The Executive
Committee of the Civic Federation has,
according to information, furnished
the Tribune which it Will print to-mor
row (t'riday), begun to put into effect
a new plan to induce the operators to
arbitrate the strike of the anthracite
miners. A member of the Civic Fed
GRAFTON said to the Tribune:
"As. soon as Senator Hanna returns
to Washington we will communicate
with him, with a view to his issuing
a call for a meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Civic Fedora ton
on general principles, to be held in
this, city. The members of the fedora
lions are no longer personally asking
the presidents OF the coal carrying
roads to consent to arbitration. They
are endeavoring to reach the largest
of the stockholders, instead, and
through them the railroad presidents.
SO far they have been fairly success
full with the stockholders. AS soon
as we have a ma jority of the larger
stockholders with us the meeting will
be called"

COULD NOT SETTLE STRIKE.
Both Sides Display Ohishness at
WiIkesbarre.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, May 29.-The local
coal operators do not credit the report,
originating in New York, that set
Element of the miners strike is immi-
nent. One operator says it is doubt
full whether the strikers would be per-
mitted to return to work now at the
old wages. They could probably re-
turn as individuals, but not as in a
body and representing a union. At
strike headquarters to-day nothing was
known of a contemplated settlement.
National Board Member Fallon says
the strike could not be settled off hand,
as some persons imagined. If the coal
companies had a proposition to make
looking to the return of the men to
work a convention of miners would
have to be called, and the terms offered
by the operators passed upon. This
would take time.

Hogarth, was on board the Shamrock

All the plans are now completed

satisfaction which Mr.. Fife expressed
with the Thornycrofts' work on the
