compared with the pervious calendar
year, the receipts show a falling off
of $8,000,000 and the expenditures an
increase of $50,0O0,000. The decrease

lures, s15,0OO,0O0; expenditures of the
war department, $9,0O0,O0O; expendi-
lures Of the navy department $685.
100000; pensions, $2,O0O,0OO; interest,

SINISTER REPORTS
FOLLOWING THE PRONUNCIATION
OF THE cZAR'S REFORM
~ DECREE.

Z Paris. Dec. 30.-London Times.)-
Very sinister reports, both of public
and private nature, continue to reach
Paris, showing that the agitation on
behalf of reform is far from subsiding
as a result of the czar's decree. AS a
matter of fact, 1t seems to have ma
terially increased and threatens to
assume alarming proportions. This is
a matter of grave Importance for all
Europe and 1t is impossible to toresee
what might come of great internal
commotion in Russia Already the
turn taken by the war in the Far East
has contributed to disturb that equil-
ibrium or balance of power which
was one of the chief guarantees of
peace on the continent. Should Rus
sia now be distracted by grave trouble
at home, it could not fail to produce a
shock to the general political situation
even now.
Not Quite reassuring have been late
ly certain indications that the relat-
ions of some of the European powers
are not as satisfactory as could be de-
sired. Some recent events would ap-
pear to have acted as fresh stimulants
OF old enmities and where there are
strong grounds for assuming that not
all those who talk loudest of peaceful
Intentions are the principal promoters
of peace. Altogether it will be more
prudent while having one eye fixed on
the far east to keep the other on
Europe where a domestic coup in
Russia might have untoward conse-
quences affecting other powers.

WANTS SYMPATHY
koFFEL SAYS HE DID THE BEST
HE COULD FOR DEPUTY
ZAISER,

Jacob Koffel of Paris, O.. the man
whom Deputy Sheriff zaiser deputized
to assist him in arresting horsethief
Shorthand at Paris on Christmas day
says that he has been somewhat mis-
represented. Koffel says that the rum
ors that are flying around about him
do not contain word of truthfulness
although he admitted to Morning
News correspondent that he was the
biggest coward on earth and that he
never had fight in his life and never
will have unless his legs give out.
Koffel claims that when Shorthand
struck Zaiser his nerve failed him and
1t was impossible for him then to go to
Zaisers assistance. Koffel also claims
that he did the best he could under the
circumstances (which was nothing)
and he asks the public to sympathize
with him instead of condemning him.

CARDINAL GIBBONS

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 1.-Cardinal
Gibbons in his sermon this morning
after high mass in the cathedral on
the beneficient institutions maintained
by the church as means OF attracting
the attention Of the public to it, took
occasion to denounce the growing tend
ency towards small families and
scored severely physicians who misuse
their profession. Among other things
he said:
"The religion of Christ sets her fact
against ante natal as well as post
natal infanticide. She denounces such
a crime as the murder of the innocent
whether 1t is committed by the mother
to hide her shame and to escape the
cares and responsibilities of mother
hood or committed by one who pros
titutes the noble profession of medi-
cine for his own selfish ends. She re-
CARDS such homicide more unjustif-
able than the murder of man in
mortal combat, because the innocent
victim cannot defend itself. --a',.

IS A VICTORY FOR
AMERICAN M|LLERS
OPINION GIVEN BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL MOODY.
Drawback May Be Paid on Imported
Wheat Mixed With American
Wheat For Export.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Attorney
General Moody today decided that the
present drawback can be allowed. on
export -four made from foreign and
domestic wheat His decision was
asked for by Secretary Shaw several
weeks ago and was reported to the
cabinet today. The attorney general
was directed to draw UP regulations
upon which the drawback is to be
paid.
The question at issue was whether.
under the drawback law, which pro-
vides that the duty on imported raw
material shall be. reported when the
raw material is worked into products
for export and is distinguishable in
them, this drawback should be paid
upon imported wheat which with Am
erican wheat is ground into -four for
export. The practice followed by the

has been to allow the drawback on this

the protest of the northwestern farm
ers, Secretary Shaw some time ago re-
fsrred the matter to the attorney gen.
eral. This is a victory for the Ameri-
can millers, for by no chemical analy-
sis of the flour as produced could it
be determined. precisely how much
Canadian or foreign wheat entered
into its composition.
