TO REDUCE DEFICIT.
Secretary Shaw Would Favor Restor-
ing Stamp Taxes.

Washington. July 10.-Earnest
thought is being given by leaders of
congress and administration officials
to devise ways and means to prevent
a treasury deficit at the end of the
fiscal year, which began last Satur-
day.
That there will be a large deficit II
the present standard of expenditures
is maintained is certain. Tentative
estimates by experts of the treasury
department place this deficit at be-
tween $25, 100000 and 100000, 900,
although these figures are as yet
largely speculative.
Secretary Shaw will incorporate
the figures in his annual report to
congress next winter. 1t is not his
present intention to recommend any
plan to equalize expenditures and re-
ceipts during the fiscal year. He will
simply point out that a deficit is in
evitable under the present basis of
appropriations and will leave to con-
gress the problem of working out how
this shortage shall be met
II Secretary Shaw were called upon
to advise congress, he would prob
ably intimate that some of the stamp
taxes which were imposed in 1898
to support the war with Spain might
be restored. 1t is known he was OPP
posed to the abolition of all the war
taxes a few years ago.

City of Mexico, July 10.-One of
the most horrible tragedies ever en-
acted in bull ring in Mexico is re-
ported from the city of Durango.
A drunken spectator, who was re-
sponsible for the last bull of an ex-
hibition goring Silverio Chico, a IA
nous mataGor, was literally torn to
pieces by a mob. His head was hack
ed from his body, his heart taken out
and stamped upon, and the trunk and
limbs cut and torn into small bits.
The sixth and last bull of the eX-
hibition proved to be very large and
fierce, and the cleverness of the mat
ador i'm playing" the animal gained
him fresh applause. Just as he lung
ed forward, his sword penetrating the
heart of the animal, a drunken spec
tator hurled a piece of iron pipe. The
pipe struck the matador On the head,
and he fell insensible in front of the
bull. The enraged enimal succeeded
in goring him six times Lefore he fell
over dead.
As soon as the people realized what
had happened there was a rush Tor
the drunken offender. lie was thrown
into the ring and there torn to pieces.

Mr.. Griffiths has not determined
whether he will direct all of the ex-
periments or whether he will estab-
lish his station at some of the state

is very nutritious fodder plant and
is greedily eaten by stock. 1t was de-
veloped from the ordinary thorn cac-
tus by Luther Burbank. The agricul-
tural department at Washington. rec
ognizing the great benefit to be de-
rived from this desert plant is MAX
ing a determined effort to introduce II
