HEAVY CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.
Two Million Increase Over July of
1904

The monthly statement of the ma
tional government receipts and expen-
ditures which will be issued by the
treasury department on August l, will
show the receipts for July, 1905, to
have been approximately $40, 100000,
and the expenditures about $50, $780,
600, leaving a deficit for the month of
$13,6S0,00O. The deficit last July was
$173OO,OOO.
There were no extraordinary re-
ceipts or expenditures in July, 1904,
and none will appear in the figures for
the present month. This decrease OF
about $3.500000 in the deficit for this
month as compared with that for
July, 1904. is accounted for by the ma
terial increase in the receipts, partic-
ularly from customs, and a slight de-
crease in expenditures. The receipts
from customs alone will exceed those
for July last year by about $2,000,000.
Those from internal revenue sources
will probably exceed those of a year
ago by about S50O,OO0
The receipts this month will in
clude payment of about 100000
from the Southern Pacific Railway
on account of its 18th semi
annual note due the government on
August 1. There was a similar pay
ment from this company last July.
The treasury officials regard the show
ing this month with satisfaction and
point to the $2,O0O,OOO increase in
customs receipts as an indication of
a large increase in business during
the remainder of the year

Our Independent cavalry, which en-

COST OF CHICAGO STRIKE.
Lasted 1906 Days and Cost an Enor-
nous Sum

The Chicago strike lasted los days,
and 1920 men were out of employ.
ment, says the Minneapolis Times.
The long fight and the large number
of men engaged in it dwarfed the orig
inal cause of the trouble. The team
sters selected as an excuse for strik-
ing the troubles of II garment work
ers, who had been out many weeks.
and who have long since abandoned
their strike.
Now that the strike is ended, the
bill receipted and paid, it may be ex-
amined with reference to obtaining an
idea of the cost of the three months
of business paralysis, smuggling and
bossism. 1t is not officially exact as
to some of the items, which must of
course be estimated, but in dollars and
cents the effort to secure the rein
statement of II garment workers cost
about $9,000000. The city and coun-
ty are out $406,500 for extra police
protection and some damage suits
for loss of property and life are sure
to follow. The unions paid out $780,
900 in strike benefits and the strikers
lost 100000 III wages. The employees
in conducting the fight paid out ST.
900 900, and experts estimate the
shrinkage in trade, freight business,
in and out, at $6,O0O,000.
But this is only part of the cost.
In this statement there is nothing that
shows the amount of human suffer
ing, of starvation and of the efforts
Of honest workingmen to find positions
away from Chicago. Nothing of saw
ngs used during the period of enforc-
ed idleness. Nothing of the sufferings
If strong men, loyal to their unions,
'orced to see dear ones want for even
accessories.
But there is another story Twenty
me men were killed and Ais were in
ured, many of them being manned
or life. This is the worst feature of
he strike.

VISITED VIOLENT RAINS.
Floods Caused the Loss of a Number
of Lives-Damage to Property Inn
mense-Unprecedented Fall of Rain
Over the State-Town of TrumbuII
Swept by Flood.

Bridgeport, Conn, July 31.-Loss OF
life and immense damage to property
followed the bursting of reservoirs
north of this city as a result of I'M
precedented fall of rain. The precipi-
tation in the series of showers which
struck across Connecticut reached a
total OF seven inches. The dam at
Wara's mill at Easton went out at 2
o'clock Sunday morning, sending
great body of water down through the
town of Trumbull. There was no warn
ing to the people who lived on the
banks of what is usually a small wa
ter course. The house occupied by
John Lesco, his wife and several chill
dren was picked up by the flood and
carried a mile below. The Lesco
family were asleep at the time and all
were rescued after a perilous journey.
A house occupied by Michael Nor
an was hurled against the Berkshire
bridge and smashed to kindling wood.
and it is believed that Moran was
drowned. Police and firemen went to
the rescue and saved several lives.
In North Bridgeport the water swept
against the Barnum avenue bridge
and wrecked it just when an ice wa
gon was crossing it. In the wagon
were William Kowzeski and John Star
kin. The wagon and horses were swept
away and KowzesH was drowned.

CHINA WILL ASSERT CLAIMS
In the Peace Negotiations Between
Japan and Russia.

The Lokal Anzeiger at Berlin prints
an interview with a prominent Chi
nese diplomatist, evidently the Chi
nese minister at Berlin, who says that
the dowager empress and the en-
peror have sent a circular letter to
viceroys and governors and to Chi
nese ministers abroad asking them
to state fully their views as to what
attitude China should take in the set
Element of the Manchurian question.
The diplomatist further states that
China, in determining what indemnity
to demand from Russia, will include
not only the reduction in public reve-
nues during the war, but a sum suf-
ficient to cover damages suffered
through years of illegal occupation of
that country. He assumes that Japan
will keep her word and hand over
Manchuria to China, but thinks it will
be impossible for China to install the
old form of government there since
the improvements the Russians and
Japanese have introduced make a
modern system of administration nee
essary. The diplomatist concludes:
China will no longer play the role
of mere spectator, but will assert it's
claims with energy in the Portsmouth
negotiations, and interesting develop
ments will certainly follow

"All of my life I had been troubled more or less with humor in my scalp, but about year ago it became worse, and my scalp was covered with little sores, which itched so it nearly made me crazy; my hair also began to get dry and fall out. 1 tried all kinds of hair restorers with no effect, and was nearly discouraged; but one day I was reading in paper what the Cuticura Remedies had done for scalp diseases, and decided to make one more trial. got cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cutieura Ointment, and Cuticura Re- solvent Pills.
 "Iused them according to directions, and soon noticed difference the tiny sores on my scalp began to heal, the itching stopped, and my hair began to grow thick. I have used only the one cake of Soap, one box of Ointment, and one vial of Pills, and now have no humor on my scalp and my hair is soft and silky. 1 cannot say enough in praise of Cuticura. l hope this letter may be the means of helping some one.

 Life.
 Berkeley, Cal, Sept 4.-That the process of regeneration may be con- trolled in plant life is the discovery made by William Albert Setchell, head of the botany department of the Uni- yersity of California. The results of Professor Setchells experiments have been published in bulletin. The ex- periments were made on kelp, d sea- weed: By controlling the. direction of the flow of nutrition in the plant, Dr.. Setchell made buds grow where they had. not grown before, and made the buds at the end of the plant which had been the strongest under normal condi- tions dwindle away. The results ob- tained throw new light on the regen- erative process. Professor Setehell be- lieves that the problem of polarization may be solved by experiments on the same line.
