NEW YoRK's BUDGET.
Estimates Will Be Pruned, But Will
Be Around $40. GOO. OOO

NEW YORK, September 5.-Most of the
departmental heads have sent to the Sec
rotary of the board of estimate their ideas
as to the amount Of money they think
ought to be apportioned to them when the
budget for the coming year is made up.
The estimates from the street cleaning de-
partment, the supreme court and the may
or's office have not yet been received,
but judging from the figures he has already
seen Acting Controller McCooey said yes
terday that the total amount of the esti-
mates would exceed $15OOOO,OOO.
When Mayor Mcclellan returns from his
vacation September IS he and the other
once start on the task of making I'D the
budget, and there is little doubt from some
remarks made by the mayor before he
went away that the pruning knife will be
vigorously used on the estimates of the de-
partmental heads.
In almost every case large increases have
been asked for by the chiefs of the depart
ments but the close scrutiny which is to
be given to their estimates will mean that
there will be heavy reductions.
The failure of the city to sell its last two
bond issues Is one reason why Mayor Nc
Celan will insist the pairing down of
expenditures to the lowest limit and it can
be asserted that the budget will not provide
for any public improvements which must
be paid for out of the budget, unless the
improvements are imperatively needed.
Last years budget was a little above
$50, 100000. and it is thought by Mr. Nc
Cooey that because the manda-
tory increases, such those Of the
yearly raises in the salaries of the teach
ers, policemen and firemen. the budget for
next year will not be less than from $685.
100000 to $40, 600.

HEAD UP THE BARREL.
Parties Will Strictly Limit Campaign
Expenditures.

DENTON. Md, September 5.-The COM
mittee of six appointed to report an anti
bribery agreement to the democratic and
republican organizations of Caroline coun-
ty met in the courthouse, as did also a
number Of leading party men. together with
the state central committees and most Of
the candidates of both parties.
The compact agreed upon is exhaustive
and is an able paper. After little discus
sion 1t was adopted. Each party is re-
stricted to the amount of $1,000 for all
campaign purposes in Caroline county, and
no part of that sum Is to be expended d.
rectly indirectly, for the purchase of
votes.
State and judicial candidates may con-
tribute % per cent of the sum, the remain
der to be contributed by those who vote in
Caroline county. The state central COM
mitteemen and many of the candidates
signed the agreement, and those who were
not present will affix their signatures be-
fore next Tuesday.
A vigilance committee will be appointed
for each district to see that the terms of
this agreement are complied with.

Gary Citizens Thought They Gave
Rights to Individual.

CHICAGO, September "a new phase
was given the traction troubles of Gary.
the town being built by the United States
Steel Corporation, when it became known
that the street railway franchise which the
town council awarded private individual
rather than have it pass into the hands OF

Charges that Frank Gavit, who received
the franchise from the council, has been
the tool of the transportation company,
which also was bidder for the right to
construct car lines on the streets of the
town, are voiced by the residents.
J. d. Price Of Indianapolis president Of

that the company planned to build the
Gary interurban line within the next six
months, the time limit set by the franchise
The company already owns tracks In La

BIG TIM FOR CHAIRMAN.
Following Bryan's denomination by
Acclamation' Forecast.

NEW YORK, September 5.-William J.
Bryan is to visit these parts again in Octo-
ber according to a statement sent out

dress on October 20 at the unwilling of the

tons: Former Gov. David r. Francis

mated by acclama ton and former Represen-

COAL MUST GO BY SAIL.
Millions Of Tons Will Be Carried for
the Pacific Fleet.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. September 5-Ac-
cording to steam coal experts, a revolution
is impending in soft coal shipments from
this and other Atlantic ports. due to the re-
moval of the Atlantic battleship fleet to the
Pacific coast. In the first place, the belief
is general that the fleet will go to the Pa
cif1C never to return. This means the ship
ment in the next few years of millions of
tons of coal to Pacific ports for the use of
the battleships. Necessarily this coal must
go in ships from eastern ports, as the rail-
road freight rate makes the price of coal
delivered on the Pacific coast almost prohib-
tive. The difference in the price of coal
sent in steam and sailing vessels compared
with that shipped by rail is SC to 50 a ton,
in favor of the former.
Recognizing the Importance of the situa-
ton, John c. Brady, director of the depart
ment of wharves. docks and ferries of this
city, has notified the government at
Washington that ships desiring to load coal
for United States war vessels will be given
preference at this port. This means that
the system prevailing for fifty years will be
revolutionized, and that vessel owners who
have heretofore dominated the docks on the
Delaware river in Philadelphia will have to
give way to ships carrying coal for the gov
eminent.

ATTORNEY GENERAL AWAITING
HIS FULL REPORT.

LENOX. Mass, September 5.-kttorney
General Charles ]. Bonaparte. who has been
spending several weeks at this resort, last
night issued a statement regarding the
Standard Oil case in the Illinois court. The
Attorney Generals statement is as follows:
August ID Judge Lands asked in
substance that the Department of Justice
consider portions of the transcript of testi-
mony In the case of the United States
against the Standard Oil Company of In
diana, in order to determine whether the
Chicago and Alton Railroad Company, it's
o1ncers and employees, were entitled to the
benefits of an agreement assuring it and
them of immunity against criminal prose-
cution in connection with the granting Of
certain rebates to the Standard Oil Com
pdny.
The department, in compliance with
the desire of Judge Lands, examined the
aforementioned records and carefully in
Vestlgated the entire subject AS a result
OF such investigation the Attorney General
August ~ wrote Edwin w. Sims, United
states attorney at Chicago, informing him
In substance that the agreement was shown
to have been made in June or July, 1886
by Z. b. Morrison, Mr.. Sims predecessor in
office; that Mr.. Morrison's action appears
to have been duly authorized at the time
by the department.; that in the opinion of
the department the arrangement had great
y AoSAAtdteu TIE indictment ana COnvlCtlOn
OF the Standard Oil Company, and that
while certain portions of the evidence might
be fairly open to unfavorable comment, the
department regarded the government as
bound in good faith, and also as matter of
public policy, to give effect to the agree
ment.
Mr.. Sims was instructed to read this
letter when the grand jury reconvened
September 3. and to take such further ac-
t1on to the foregoing end as might seem to
the court and to himself appropriate in the
premises.
The department learns that Mr. Sims
did not comply with these Instructions by
reason of his having had called to his at
tention very recently certain new and, in
MS Judgment. material facts which he
thought should be submitted to the depart
ment for Its further consideration before
Its conclusions should be finally announced
For this purpose he asked and was granted
by the court a delay Of three weeks.
Inc department Is not as yet advised as
to what are the facts thus ascertained by
Mr.. Sims. 1t has great confidence In his
sound Judgment and devotion to duty, and
1t awaits his report before taking further
action In the premises. Inasmuch, how
ever. as the circumstances of the case NAV
be liable to demonstration. 1t is deemed
proper to submit now the present statement
to the public"
