GERM4NY MUST BORROW
Needs $3.50, 900 900 in Fire Years
Finances I'm DOrtdnt Issue.

Berlin. April 3o.-That the imperial government
must borrow s250.Oo0ooo in the next five years
was the substance of an admission made by Herr
Sydow Secretary of the Treasury, to the Appro-
nriations Committee of the Rechstag to-day
These borrowings will be necessary even though
the appropriations Of the current year are not
increased before 1872
Herr Erzberger. Centrist. said the members OF
the committee must be shocked by the govern
ment's reckoning that thousand million MARKS
more must be borrowed. and that actually very
much more would probably he required. Herr
r-rzherger made several allusiOns TO the burdens
which this generation creating for subsequent
ones by the policy of spending far beyond its in
come Herr Sydow said he also shocked by
the prospect Of having to borrow S25oPo0,oH. and
he declared that the empire must. under all cir
cumstances. abandon its present borrowing policy.
The financial situation OF the German Empire is
likely 20 become increasingly important issue
in internal politics because tied up with it are
such projects the naval expansion Of Germany,
the increase of the peace footing of the army now
under consideration by the General Staff, the en-

Washington April 30.-The Appropriations Com

Committee had allowed only $4,000 for this pur-
pose The amendment carried by vote OF
81 to 20.
Speaking to the amendment Mr.. Townsend quoted
from message from the President. in which he
said that failure to make appropriation for carry
ing out the publicity clause of the Hepburn act
would be to attack the law in its most vital point
and to give relief to corrupt corporations which
the law intended to reach
Mr.. Tawney said that in the inauguration of q
service, such this, Congress should not
begin at the top, thereby committing the govern
ment to a big annual expense which never could be
cut down. but should begin at the bottom. and if
the service proved to be good thing work 1t up
and enlarge it from time to time, the wisdom
of experience should dictate He said that in 1896
the government had 166 inspectors in its service
and that. there were now employed 5000 at an an
nual involved cost Of more than 100000
Mr. Keifer, Of Ohio, opposed the amendment
saying that he revoltsd from the inauguration Of
"a policy that would turn loose on the railroads
of the country an army of spies 20 pursue
system of espionage under, which every man would
be considered lawbreaker and scoundrel until
investigation should prove the contrary.
Mr.. Cooper, of Wisconsin, replied that the rail-
roads themselves indulge freely and universally
in the practice of employing great numbers or
private detectives ito follow their employees to their
homes daily, spying upon them to discover whether
they have stolen property from the company .

Sister Shoots Brother.

GREENv1LLE, June 9.-Eugene
Green, a resident of Park place, was
shot this afternoon by his married
sister, Mrs. Alice Campbell,| who
lives in the same neighborhood. Mr..
Green was out in the street engaged
in adih6culty with his brother-in-law,
Campbell, almost in front of the
Campbell cottage and only a short
distance away from his own home,
where Green lives with his wife and
mother. Mrs. Campbell rushed out
of her house and fired four shots
at Green in quick succession. The
first ball fired took effect in Green's
arm, the second in his left eye, the
third in his stomach and the fourth
in the mans chin:
It is said that before Mrs. Camp
bell fired the gun Green had cut
Campbell about the face. At the
third shot Green fell and it was some
seconds before assistance reached
him. A physician was called and the
mans wounds examined.
It appears that the affair was the
outgrowth of family difficulty,
which started Sunday and which
broke out in fresh place again to-
day. Deputies Ballenger and Noe
were called to the scene and placed
both Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell under
arrest, later lodging them in the
county Jail, where they await the
outcome of Mr.. Green's injuries.
Mr.. Green was taken to the Green
vile sanatarium, where his wounds
are receiving attention. The physi-
clans are yet unable to state what
his chances for recovery are.

Disbarment for Duncan,

Disbarment proceedings were begun in
the State Supreme Court Tuesday of this
week against John T. Duncan, Colum;
bia attorney, on account of aHdavits read
before the Court last week. The justices
ordered the disbarment proceedings
brought. At the hearing Tuesday At
torney General Lyon represented the
State and moved to include contempt OF
court in the charges because of language
used by Duncan in note written to So
1icitor Zimmerman. The whole matter
was postponed until July 18th, when a
full hearing will be had. This is the
second time disbarment proceedings have
been taken against Duncan. It will be
remembered that he ran for the United
States Senate in the famous J. H. Earle
and Jno. Gary Evans campaign, and
many people believe that Duncan's 8
charges against Evans defeated him. It
is charged that the aAidavits Duncan read
before the Court were false.
