The Comptroller of the Treasury to-
day handed down decision in which

expenses attached to the raising OF vol
unteer troops for service in the war with
Spain. The claim originally presented
by the State was $50, l45. SO, but the

bates from published tariff rates.

Revolving Crime.

New York, March 81. The trial to-
day of Robert Spriggs, the negro pro-
curer Of white girls, revealed one OF the
most revolving stories of human degra-
dation ever told in the criminal courts
of this city, when the woman, Hattie
Warren, whom Spriggs abducted and
subjected to incoceivable brutalities,
took the stand in Judge Cowings court
and told the pitiful story OF her life in
Spriggs' house at IA Cornelius street.
The woman is forlorn creature, with
dropping shoulders and face so marred
by lines az to hide any traces of the
beauty she is said TO have once possessed.
She told how she met one of Spriggs's
agents in February 1905, and after ac-
ceptiug drink straightway became ua-
conscious
Waking the next morning with a
splitting headache, the work of knock
out drops, she found she had been strip
ped of her clothing, aud ia its place was
light wrapper which had been furnish
ed by the negro.
She tod the jury of the beatings
which she had received at his hands, of
the knocking out of two of her teeth.
She told also of pleading with Spriggs
to give her her liberty and clothing and
how he knocked her down.
She told how she escaped from her bondage
by prying open window with an ice hook
and making her way out of the hOnse through
this opening. The jury was Mortified, as was
Judge Cowing.

Anxiety for Steamers.

Halifax, N. S., March 2l.-The gov
eminent steamers Mimic and Stanley,
running between Prince Edward Island
and the main land of Nova Scotia, are
missing and the widest rumors are in

over due, and no word has been received
from them. The Mimic left Picton at
6 O'Clock Tuesday morning, aud the
Stanley steamed out from Georgetown at
the same hour. Soon after sailing
great storm broke over the straits of
Northumberland. The run in fine
weather takes only four hours. Both
steamers carried crews of Is men each,

Trouble Between Whites and Blacks.

Trouble Between Whites and Blacks.
Chattanooga, Tenn, March 2l-lFor
twelve hours FIVE thousand negroes held
sway here, waiting for darkness to envei-
op the city so that work of destruction
might be started. They we're thwarted
by the timely appearance OF four com
panies of militia, four hundred extra
deputy sherifis aud so reserve policemen
As it was there we're dozen brushes be-
tween whites and blacks in which half
a dozen persons were injured, while three
attempts were made to start fires lG dit
ferent sections of the CITY. The effective
work of the combined FIRE department,
aided by the special officers and soldiers,
prevented much destruction and loss OF
life. Some negroes fired into the coaches
and sleepers OF a passenger train on the
Southern Railway while it WAS passing
through the negro district of the city.
No one was killed. There was almost
constant shooting at short intervals dur
ing the night, and it is believed that 1t
will develop that many persons were in
jured.
At Eastlake, FIVE miles from the city,
a posse of white men called upon negro,
who was on one of the principal streets,
to halt. He did not do so and fire was
opened upon him. The negro ran, pur-
sued by white men, who fired fifty or
more shots at him. He could not be
found. Over half q dozen reports OF
killings from apparently reliable sources
were reported TO the police during the
night, but they have not been verified.
The police fear there will be trouble
today during the funeral of johnson,
but the city officers and the militia be-
Iieve they have the situation well under
control, as the negroes seem to lacS or
ganization. Orders have been issuad by
Governor Cox for the Nashville militia
to be under arms and should the stu
alton become critical, the soldiers from
that city will be sent over on a special
train.
The order of the Mayor yesterday
closing all the saloons and the instruc-
tons to the merchants not to sell arms
or ammunition to negroes had a good
effect on the situation.

New York, March 2l.-The anthra-
cite coal operators issued statement
today in which they declare "that the
idea that the mine workers union de-
maud only 10 per cent increase 10
wages, is a delusion." The statement
sets forth that the average increase
under the scale demanded, would be al
most 80 per cent for outside men, and
"would mean a veritable revolution in
mining conditions"
The statement says in part:
TT is mistake to assume that an eight
hour day and 10 per cent. wage increase re-
present the sum total of the demands Of the
anthracite miners. They insist besides on
uniform wage scale for 146 separate and dis
tinct classes Of w0rkmen about the mines
The new and uniform scale would place every
man on the same basis, increasing the wages
Of some men as much as 100 per cent The
average increase under the uniform scale
would he near 80 per cent for outside men.
tn, sweeping demand of the mine workers
would double the wages Of many inside men.
While the general average of increase for in
side day labor would approximate 1913 per
cent and most of the men thus employed
would receive under the schedule at issue
advance of one-ffth to ons-quarter in thei r
pay there would be a great many men and
boys working at the easier tasks involving
less responsibility and less danger. who
would have their wages doubled. Ii is appa-
rent, therefore. that the idea that the mine
workers union demands only 10 per cent.
increase in wages is a deusion
Harrisburg, Pr, March 2l.-Hood
Mckay, superintendent OF thecOi mines
at Williamstown, and Lykens, Dauphin

representatives of the operators may
be prepared for the worst.

,Tur ADMINISTRATION is striving
diligently to wash the blood from the
hands of those engaged in the recent
massacre of natiyes--men, women and
children-in the Philippines. Gov
ernor General Ide, of Manila, is the
last apologist far this wanton shedding
of blood He would have the world be-
lieye that the victims were outlaws, and
should have been treated as mad dogs or
nests of rattlesnakes. 1t nevertheless
seems strange to people in the Occident
that it was necessary to slaughter women
and children on the ground that they
we're outlaws. Why they coulc mol
have been secured and placed in instltu-

Murder and Suicide.

Boston, March 2l-nattllng against
disgrace brought on by heavy drinking
and dissipation, unable to find employ
ment, and almost penniless, Bernard
Myles, AZ years Of age, stationary en-
gineer, crawled quietly into bed with
woman supposed to be his wife at their
room at the lodging house at 80 Leverett
street, last night, took deliberate aim,
sent three bullets crashing through her
brain, numbering her. and then CON-
mitted suicide by shooting himself twice
in the right temple. Death must have
been almost instantaneous in each case.
Both had evidently been drinking heavi
ly, as the stencil of liquor perysded the
room, and an empty pint whisky flask
was found Just under the side of the
bed where the dead woman was lying.
Myles had been a resident of east Bos-
ton many years.
