legislation which will require
an annual appraisal of the as

a means of providing funds to
make and guarantee it's loans,
provide the corporation with
adequate capital and authorize
the issuance by it of obligations
guaranteed by the United States.
Congress would be advised

Review of the fiscal years
1887 and 1898, and the fiscal
program for 1899: This review
concerns itself with the cash
actually received and paid out
by the Treasury in the fiscal
year 1887, with the estimates
of receipts and expenditures
for the fiscal year 1888, and
with the fiscal program for
1899.
FISCAL YEAR 1887
Receipts - Total general fund
receipts for the fiscal year
1887 amounted to $5,293, ,S40,237,
which was $534,00O,000 less
than was estimated one year
ago, but a gain over 1885 of
$1,178,OO0,oO0.

that taxes on carriers and their
employees would produce $134,-

GN.SD Death toll and property
damage mounted steadily in
Rhode Island as, one by one,
hitherto unreported communities
established contact with the world
revealing new horrors and devas-

National Guard officials esti-
mated the death toll would be at
least 800 and might rise to 400.

ing an emergency session of the
legislature to appropriate relief
funds adding to the $1000,000
made available by the Federal
Government.
Maps of Rhode Island became
obsolete, for the tidal wave which
roared with devastating force for
100 miles up NarraganSett Bay
completely obliterated the old
shore line in some places. Two
towns at least, Galillee and Jeru-
salem, no longer exist. Four
beaches, Bailey'S, Newport, Viking,
and Third, disappeared from the
map.
so DEAD IN SALEM
A Coast Guard plane bringing
a portable radio transmitting set,
established contact at Salem, R.

at least Sc persons were killed
when the hurricane and tidal wave
roared across Point Judith.
Westerly reported its death toll
would range between 10 and 102.
Providence and its suburbs had

Thousands of persons were
homeless throughout the State.

Maj. Gen. F. w. Coleman, COM

Police Court to testify in favor of
his colored chauffeur, Robert Bay

Judge Edward M. Curran fined
Baylor $25 despite the Generals

cautious driver that it takes him
ten minutes longer to get me
downtown than it does when I
drive myself"
Maj. Gen. Coleman's first con-

area of the hardest hit State-was
practically dry. But the fate of
scores along the coast, and resi-

unknown. Unconfirmed reports
from Westerly, r. l., said 100

National guardsmen in Massa-

shire and Rhode Island were
aided in their battle against
looters by volunteers hastily dep

pered by the fact power systems
still were completely out in many
areas, making communications
and quick coordination of forces
impossible.
Official estimates submitted to

ENVOY RETURNS;
MUM ON EUROPE

An Irishman who has silver
tongue but won't use it-at least
for public enlightenment-was in
town today.
He is John Cudahy, United
States minister to the Irish Free
State, who is scheduled to confer
today with Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, presumably on Irish
American affairs.
Minister Cudahy, who arrived in
the Capital last night, flatly de-
clined to comment on the tense
European situation. He was this
country'S minister to Poland prior
to being named the Irish envoy,
and Poland is right in the middle
of the current war scare. He
stated in reply to questions:
Even if I were permitted to
talk, I wouldn't for fear of caus-
ing complications"
Asked if he discussed the Euro
pean situation with Secretary
Hull, he replied:
II will take my cue from him."
But Minister Cudahy had one
topic he would discuss-horses.
He gave Mrs. Lawrence Chip"
Robert quite an earful about the
horse shows staged in Ireland
when they met at the Mayflower
Hotel. Minister Cudahy will re-
turn to Ireland October S.
