ministration S175, 1922 more than they
received during the year to finance tine
city. The cost of running the city I'M
der the extravagant administration for
1906 was nearly $4S1 a day in excess of
the receipts.
Under the Norris administration the
figures show that there was a slight
overdraft in the water supply fund.
Large OverdTafts in the Thompson re-
gime are shown by the balances of a
year later in the contingent, water
supply and waterworks funds, while
an appreciable decrease is noted in the
balances of the other funds.
In the official report of the finances
of the city the deficiency i'm the var
ious funds is appropriately shown by
red figures. The Herald follows the
same plan. There seems to have been
red streaks of extravaganza in the
Thompson administration.

This same American" party report
shows, instead of a deficiency of sS5.-
700 on Jan. l, 1906, a balance in the
general funds Of nearly $3.50, 900, while
on Dec. 81, 1906, after a year of Amer

a deficiency of s46,054.17. Nowhere in
the report is there anything that could
be construed into a deficiency of sS5.-
900 remaining as result of the Morris
administration.
In the contingency fund on Jan. I.
1905, there was $3,S03.49. For this fund
the American" party received during

Failure of Anti-MiIitarist Plans in
French Provinces.

Paris. July 14.-Outside of Paris the
anti-Inilitarist plans for a general DEM
onstTation today were a dismal failure,
but collisions between the police and the
workmen at Toulon and Montpelier were
directly due to their inspiration. At
Brest the police were forced to occupy
the labor exchange in order 10 prevent
trouble.
As no newspapers were published in
Paris this afternoon, the attempt on the
life of President Fallieres was not gen.
orally known and the festivities We're not
interrupted. The theatres gave their usual
free performances and there were con-
certs in the parks and a balloon ascension
at the Tuileries. Tonight there was a
nautical fete on the Seine and magnificent
displays of fireworks at the Place Du
TrOcadero and many other public places
At midnight the city was brilliantly illU-
minated and street balls again were in full
swing.
Many towns in the south of France re-
fused to celebrate today in accordance
with decision not to participate in any
civic function until the grievances of the
people were redressed.

AMERICAN PROPOSITION PREFERRED
TO THE ORIGINAL DRAG0 DOCTRINE

The Hague, July H-The approaching
discussion of the American proposition re-
Iating to the collection of pecuniary debts
is arousing great interest, especially be-
cause of the attitude of delegations Of the
Latin-American countries. Several OF
these delegates oppose the American prop
osition personally but lave received in
structions from their governments TO vote
in favor of it. They complain. however
that the administration at Washington
mas influenced their governments to side
with the United States. DIR. Drago's po-
sition is particularly criticized. Ee main
tains that the proposition does saot su-
brace his doctrine He therefor4 wished
to present a separate proposition. the gen
eral outline of which has already been an

so by the Buenos Ayres administrations
He then actually presented an amendment
but his government compelled him 10

that he will speak on the subject.

Busy All the Time.
During the two months since the king
returned from his journey to the conti-
nent and the Mediterranean, his majesty
has led a remarkably busy life, devoting
his time to official functions, TO society
and race meetings
In two months he has officiated at three
leyees. which imposed considerable ply
steal fatigue, attended every race meet
ing during Ascot week reiigiously, as well
as the Derby, received hundreds of Off
cials and disposed of quantities of rou-
tine work. The amount of travelling and
the change of uniforms and civilian suits
involved alone a great effort for man
OF 70 years. There was much signing in
society during the years of Queen Vic
toria's widowhood for the splendors of
court life. King Edward is giving the
court and the country memorable social
reign, apart from his activities as a
diplomat.

MagiIl and wife. who were arrested yes
terday, charged with the murder of Ma
gill's first wife, Mrs. Pet Magill, who died
at her home in Clinton on the night of
May 30 under peculiar circumstances. A
note was found saying that Mrs. MagiII
had committed suicide, MagiI at once
sold his interests and ON June 30, with
his daughter, aged Il. left Clinton. Miss
Fay Graham, 10 years old who had lived

fore, saying she would visit relatives at
kankakee, Ill. The next heard of Miss
Graham and Magil was that they were
married in Denver on July ., only five
weeks after the death of the first wife.
The sudden marriage, with the mysterious
death of the first wife, led to an inquiry
and the arrests at San Diego yesterday
were made on a telegram from Clinton by
States Attorney Miller. Magill is related
to some of the oldest and wealthiest fami-
les. of Clinton. His bride is also mem

ATTEMPT UPON THE LIFE
Of FRENCH PRESIDENT
Two Shots Fired Point Blank at M Fallieres,
but the Aim Of the Assassin
Was Bad.
Excited Crowds Prevented From LynChng the Man After His
ArreSt-No Reason to Suspect Plot.

1t is believed also that he aided in the
revolutionary agitation of the general fed
Grafton Of labor and the anti-militariSts.
There is no reason to suspect a plot. as
Maille only arrived from Rouen last
night.
MaiIle appeared before an examining
magistrate tonight and the authorities
only succeeded in extracting from him a
rambling statement about family perse-
cution directed against him. 1t was in
order to draw public attention to his
grievances, he said, that he fired the
shots. The prisoner terminated the exam
ination by announcing his intention to
give no further explanations as he be
lieved the magistrate would do nothing
to remedy his wrongs.
Many Congratulations.
President Fallieres has received numer-
Gus kilograms of congratulations from
the rulers of many countries on his lucky
escape.
The attempt on the life OF President
Fallieres probably will strengthen the
governments intention to put a stop to
the anti-militarists' propaganda, WHICH is
already demoralizing the army and be
coming a menace to the republic Thirty
nine ring leaders were arrested today for
kissing soldiers who were returning from
review. Other arrests were made at the
Place de Iaconcorde. where the league of
patriots held their annual ceremony.

Paris. July 1.-THE national fete today
was married by a dastardly attempt on
the life OF President Fallieres by Leon
AIaiIIe. a naval reservist of Havre, who,
It is believed. is suffering from the mania
of persecution. Maille fired two shots at
the president. but did not hit him. He
was at once placed under arrest.
On account of the activity of the anti
militarists, who tried to organize dem
onstration against the army throughout
France today exceptional precautions
were taken to safeguard President Falli-
eres. The attempt or his life occurred on
Avenue des ChampS-ElySees, while the
president was returning to the palace
from Longchamps. where he had review

of 10000 enthusiastic people. Premier
