The long-delayed budg«t statement was presented to the house of com­ mon* Thursday by Sir Michael Hicks* Beach, the chancellor of the exchequer. The statement, from the standpoint of the British taxpayer, was most discour­ aging. The national balance sheet for 1900-1901 shows a net deficit of £58,- 207,200 ($266,036,000). The Boer war, according to the chancellor, has cost the government £146,567,000 ($732.- 835,000), or double the coet of the Crimean war. The total expenditures for 1901-1902 are estimated at £187,- 602,000 ($938,010,000), of which £58,- 320,000 ($291,600,000) Is for the Boer war, while the revenues will yield only within £57,000,000 ($285,000,000) of this amount. This deficiency is to be met in part by an increase in the in­ come tax, and a tax on raw sugar, mo­ lasses, syrups, glucose and coal. To meet the remaining deficit, which Is estimated at £39,707,000 ($198,535,000), the chancellor proposes to borrow £60,000,000 ($300,000,000) upon con­ suls. Sir Michael stated that It was estimated that the total expenditures this year would amount to £187,602,- 000, of which £58,320,000 would be for carrying on the war. STEYN IS RE-ELECTED.

A head-end collision at Woodbine, Iowa, between two Illinois Central trains resulted in the death of En­ gineer Meinger of Fort Dodge, Iowa, and the probably fatal injury of James Wheeler, the engineer of the other train. The following passengers were also injured: J. E. Jewell, 517 Green- leaf avenue, Chicago, hip; Evangeline Dahi, nose broken; A. Nichols, colored porter, Chicago, chest crushed; D. L. Pelton, Woodbine, Iowa, druggist, bad­ ly bruised. The two passenger trains were under orders to pass at Wood­ bine. The east-bound train, No. 2, the Chicago flyer, was running at full speed on the main track, but instead of being sidetracked, the west-bound, No. &, dashed into the east-bound at full speed. Both engines were demol- and several of the cars shattered. Farmers Search for Rtttor. A posse of fifty armed farmers, de­ termined on immediate justice, ar$ scouring the country between Nash­ ville, 111., and Pinekneyville in search of Martin Ritter, the fugitive slayer of Clara Cheek. The posse is 'being led by William Cheek, the father, and Dan Cheek, the brother of the murdered girl, and unless the sheriff of Wash­ ington and Perry counties succeeds la apprehending Ritter before he falls into the hands of the posse, he will undoubtedly be lynched. Clara Cheek, a 16-year-old girl, was murdered at the home of her parents, near Rice, on Saturday night. Ritter, who is 24, and Miss Cheek had long been sweethearts, but the girl refused to marry on ac­ count of her age. Boy !• Kidnaped by Thieves. At State Road, Ohio, on the Pitts­ burg & Fairport railroad, four armed men kidnaped Melvin Croker, a 14- year-old boy who lives with his grand­ father, Thomas Croker, the motive evi­ dently being to rob Croker, a wealthy farmer. The boy says he was bound, gagged and blindfolded, and when re­ leased found himself in Warren at 10 o'clock at night He hunted up an un­ cle, H. C. Stroup, who, after talking with the police, telephoned Croker to look out for the robbers. Citizens watched the Croker house, but the gang had apparently been warned, as they did not appear. Favored by tho Mowipmpcn, Newspapers already are sending their replies to the circular letter sent out by the postoffice department ask­ ing whether a departmental rule t.h*t will absolutely stop all premium In­ ducements for subscriptions would be regarded as Injurious to legitimate newspapers and periodicals. All ex­ cept one of the responses already in warmly favor such a rule, the excep­ tion being a request for further infor­ mation on the subject. Plan a Big Stool Mill. Final arrangements have been made at Detroit for the building of a steel and Iron plant at the Soo which will employ 10,000 men and be capitalized at $50,000,000. According to the pro­ moters it will be one of the most ex­ tensive in America, and second only to the Carnegie plant In Pennsylvania. They say it will have a marked effect on the steel and iron market of the United States and Canada. The enter­ prise will be organized under the of the International Steel, iron and Pipe company. Ordered to Kill tho Kaiser. The entire body of German police, especially those stationed at seaport towns, and the Berlin political police, are eagerly watching for an anarchist named Romagnoll. It has transpired that Romagnoli, who recently lived in South America, Is now on his way to Germany, intrusted by the Buenos Ayres Anarchist club with the task of The government's aggregate cold holdings for the first time in history have passed the half billion dollar mark. The exact total given in the United States treasury report of yes­ terday was $500,278,506, of which $252,- 078,959 was held against certificates in the hands of the outside public and $150,000,000 as a reserve against out­ standing United States notes, the bal­ ance having free assets. This Is the largest amount of gold now held by any single financial institution in the world, and it is the largest ever held by any institution with one exception --the Imperial Bank of Russia, which in February, 1898, raised its total hold­ ings to $590,300,000. At present, how- vever, the Russian bank holds only "$371,500,000. The Bank of France now holds $472,271,000, its high record be­ ing $479,244,000 on the 4th of this month. Most of this gold is held against outstanding notes. The Bank of England holds $169,100,000 and the high record of Its history was $245,- 500,000, in February, 1896. Present gold holdings of the Imperial Bank of Germany are $130,000,000, and its total of gold and silver combined nexer ran abore $222,500,000. The United States treasury's gross gold holdings have Increased $76,439,000 within the last twelve months. In April of 1899 they barely exceeded $278,000,000, as against the $500,000,000 now held. On Feb. 10, 1896, they reached the low level of $94,239,542. This immense amount of money in the treasury is causing Secretary Gage to buy government bonds as fast as he can get them. On this point A. Barton Hepburn, vice-president of the Chase National bank, at New York, discussing the financial outlook, said: "The fact that Secretary Gage is pre­ pared to buy government bonds and is actually buying them from day to day is bound to have a strong influence upon the money market. There ought not to be a large increase of cash irom this source, however, because the classes that have government bonds for sale are not in need of money. If rates fall off it will be gradually^ The enormous business that is now being done requires a large amount of money to carry it on, so there is no sign of abnormally easy rates." Charles S. Fairchiid, ex-secretary of the treasury and president of the New York Security and Trust company, speaking of the money.situation said: "I do not look for a. return to the extremely low rates prevalent a few weeks ago. With deposits at about $1,000,000,000 and surplus cash re­ serves down to $7,000,000 extremely easy money is hardly probable. The rate of interest is largely a matter of habit, and when banks get to lending at 4 or 5 per cent they are apt to expect those rates from borrowers. Borrow­ ers do not think them unreasonable." STEEL MEN ON STRIKE. IteKeeeporft That Stay lef* wtw Kaar CtMotu As a reeult of a dispute Involv­ ing the employes of the W. Dewees Wood plant of the American Sheet Steel company at McKeesport, and the company, about half of the men are on frtrike there and the operation of the plant is badly crippled. The event is looked upon as mo­ mentous throughout the iron and steel trade of the country, from the fact that it is the first conflict between organ­ ized labor and the United States Steel corporation and because of the ant nounced intention of President T. J. Shaffer, the head of the Amalga­ mated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, to tie up every plant of the new combine--steel, tin, tube, structural iron, wire and all--if neces­ sary to win the fight. As to the chance that the men in all the mills of the United States Steel corporation will be called on to come out, no one connected with the management <5f any of the organized plants in the new corporation will consent to be quoted.

His parents were poor and gave him only the advantages of lim­ ited schooling, yet he rose to the first position of power and influence fa his sect. Olaelor Threatens Dawson. Dawson arrivals at Seattle on the steamship Humboldt say the Klondike is in the throes of a glacial phenome­ non. Two months ago a glacier made its appearance on the hillside back of Dawson. The ice of the glacier is from twelve to fifteen feet thick in places, and besides rendering that sec­ tion of Dawson uninhabitable, it threatens to render the trail leading to the cemeteries impassable during the summer. Such a result, it is pre­ dicted, can be averted only through the construction of a series of culverts and ditches, .as the broiling summer sun will keep torrents of water flow­ ing from the Ice mountain. Vetoes the Compulsory BUI Governor Dockery ' of Missouri has vetoed the compulsory edu­ cation bill entitled "An act to enforce the constitutional rights of every child in the state to an educa­ tion, to provide for truant or parental schools and attendance officers in cit- iee^ of 10,000 population or more, and to "prohibit the employment of chil­ dren during school hours." Governor Dockery declared that the act Inter­ fered with the personal rights of pa­ rents and savored of paternalism on the part of the state. Minors Go on tho Warpath. Three hundred coal miners, armed with revolvers and shotguns, left Ev- ansville, Ind., Thursday night for th.e Kentucky fields to force the non-un­ ion workmen from the mines. Prepa­ rations were made at Sebree and other points to handle the invaders. At Earlington 100 citizens from different pacts of Hopkins county were sum­ moned on the sheriff's posse to han­ dle the miners if they come into Hop­ kins county. If Explosion In Catholic Church. At Berlin there was a panic in the Roman Catholic church of St. Michael during the choir practice. An unexplained explosion severely injured a soldier and two boys. The cross vaulting on the left side of the tower and the reof were damaged, and all the windows were shattered. The rear portion of the organ was destroyed.

The well, which is twenty-two feet deep, contains nine feet of water, at the bottom of which the body was found by the husband, who was directed to the spot by a note saying: "Good-bye, Frank, I lofe you with my whole soul, but life is not what I expected. My body will be In the old well when you read this." Says Report Is Kxa*ger>tod. The following cablegram has been made public at the war department from Governor-General MacArthur at Manila: With reference to your tele­ gram of 16th press report grossly ex aggerated, misleading; matters therein touched upon regarding officers sub­ sistence department fully investigated. Proceedings (mailed by) transport Sheridan. Regarding theft commis­ sary stores amount which grossly ex» aggerated by press reports, Immediate most drastie measures already applied. Ommo the War to Take Active Stops Is Secure roll Information--Bapld Ufis| la Cortala Army UUqaos. Secretary of War Root has cabled General MacArthur at Manila for a full report on the latest developments la the commissary department frauds there, adding that an early reply by telegraph would be expected. The lat­ est disclosures in the scandals have ex­ cited war department officials to re­ newed efforts to learn the truth, the statement made by General MacAr­ thur heretofore on the subject having led the department to conclude that these frauds amounted to little. Sur­ prise is manifested at Washington be­ cause of the report that Captain James Q. Read is Implicated in the scandal. The Manila dispatches are to the ef- feot that he has already been arrested and that ha Is deeply Involved. Cap­ tain Read hails from Pittsburg; his family is reputed to be of considerable social prominence and his father a manufacturer of wealth. Captain Read has been in the service of the United States in the commissary department of the army since July 16, 1898. He was In the military academy at West Point for a short time ten years ago. The semi-official judgment at Wash­ ington Is that the scandal will assume considerable proportions before all has been revealed. There is no question in the minds of those who claim to know the situation in Manila as to the high and rapid pace of living in certain army cliques there. Private reports from Manila for months and Verbal statements by officers and men who have witnessed passing events In that city are to the effect that the army of officers in many instances were devoting much more time to dis­ sipation and midnight revels than to Chasing the wily Insurgent or other­ wise doing their duty. It Is pointed out at Washington that naturally a few officers will succumb to such temptations, but that it does not fol­ low there is a general laxity on the part of a majority of the men In com­ mand. It is believed that arrests will follow within a few days. Major George B. Davis, whose name Is mentioned in the dispatch from Ma­ nila as 'being credited upon the books Of Evans & Co., as having received $1,000, is in Washington. He would say nothing when asked by reporters If he desired toreply to the assertion^ He was called upon by the war de­ partment, however, for an explanation and to an officer said that he knew nothing about the matter. He was closely questioned and said that he never had any money from the firm of contractors mentioned, had not bor­ rowed, and could not explain how there had been any charge made. Ev­ ans, of the firm of Evans & Co.. is known to some army officers in Wash­ ington. Evans was in this «country a short time ago, and may now be In New York, if he has not returned to Manila. He is from Niagara, though from which side of the river is not known. At the commissary depart­ ment General Weston said he had no information to/ impart concerning the scandal. He reiterated the high praise of his subordinate, Colonel Woodruff, who is In charge of the Manila serv­ ice, that he expressed when the first reports of the irregularities were re­ ceived. Prison for Policy Mon. Recorder Goff of New York in sen­ tencing two men for running policy games said: "Policy gambling, I un­ derstand, Is the worst form of gam­ bling. If I am Informed correctly, there is absolutely no chance for the player to win. It is a villainous scheme to fleece the poor. The gambling In the palatial parlors of our uptown houses is not one-thousandth part as had as this lower form of vice. It is a poor man's game, and you have done the worst kind of injury in taking from the poor man his earnings with­ out giving him even a chance for his money. I will sentence you both to three months in the penitentiary." Too Cool tor Crops. The crop report of the Weather bu­ reau Issued at Washington Tuesday shows that xjver the greater part of the country east of the Rocky moun­ tains the week has been abnormally cool and unfavorable for germination and growth. Excessive rains retarded farm work in the states of the middle Rocky mountain slope and lower Mis­ souri valley, while a large part of the lake region, Southern Florida, and California, need rain. With thee ex­ ception of portions of the lake region, Florida, Texas and Cal­ ifornia, -there is generally ample moisture In the soil, and the condi­ tions now most needed. Bombards Falaoe of Saltaa. A Rome dispatch from Aden says the Italian consul at Zan­ zibar has arrived at Aden from the Somali coast, where he went on a spe­ cial mission to break up the trade in contraband goods. He caused the palace of the sultan of Mijertain, Ital­ ian Somaliland, who was largely con­ cerned in contraband transactions, to be bombarded. The sultan's son was captured and large quantities of arms and ammunition were taken. The •ultan, fled.

F1NA8 NEW ELECTRIC TOWER. jiewilTtsla Inventor Dteoovera mm MphlsaUt TktaS Cm i oat. Daniel Drawfcantfi of Sbeiiya Mils, Cumberland county, Pa* the original inventor of the telephone at the age of 74, has stumbled across an unex- plainafcle electrical current of high po­ tentiality in some experiments he has been making recently along lines of wireless telegraphy. Mr. Drawbaugh's machine is very small and is con­ structed similarly to the electro-mag- netic apparatus found on telephone In­ struments. He turns on the positive and negative currents, subsequently short-circuiting these currents, where­ upon he draws another and an appar­ ently unknown current from another part of the diminutive apparatus. The short-circuited current and the third current combined make such a power­ ful flow of electricity as to completely puzzle those who have witnessed the machine's performance.

Burled Corpse as Trespasser. Mrs. Mary Clybourn, the aged moth­ er-in-law of Allen Gregory, now dead, Is seeking from the Circuit court at Chicago a decree for the removal of Mr. Gregory's body from its grave in Rosehlll, charging trespass. That a body can be evicted from a grave at the desire of the nearest relatives, even though opposed by the cemetery authorities, has been determined. The question now to be determined on Mrs. Clybourn*B petition is whether a body can be "removed for trespass." In her petition Mrs. Clybcurn sets up her ownership of the lot in which the body of Gregory, "the founder of the Stock Yards," was buried. She declares that the burial of his body in the lot, being "X' her without b€r express permission, was illegal, and she asks that her property be cleared of the unwelcome Incum­ brance. Wall Street's Faith In Boom. The apprehension in government cir­ cles over the situation in Wall street appears to have considerable basis in the facts as they exist at New York. But whether operators are unaware of the grave possibilities of the present speculative fever, or refuse to inform themselves, or do not care is not quite plain. Over two weeks ago the more conservative men declared it was time to go a bit slow, that while the general prosperity of the country Justified present high prices to a considerable extent there was danger in overdoing and in banking on hope and optimism as if there were no limit to their sus­ taining powers in the market. These words of caution were followed by a slight reaction in prices, but It was for one day only, and then the upward march began and has continued ever since. Russia Exporting Batter. "Russia in recent years has been creating a large export trade in but­ ter," reports Consul Mahin, at Reich- enberg, to the state department at Washington. "The exports in 1897 amounted to 19,018,030 pounds, and for the first ten months in 1900 doubled that amount, being 37,729,220 pounds. The principal increase is the butter produet of Siberia. To facilitate the trade butter trains, equipped with re­ frigerating apparatus, have been em­ ployed to transport the goods to the ports for shipment. During the sea­ son of 1900 two special trains of twen- ty-flve cars each were dispatched weekly, loaded with butter for the Bal­ tic ports, where in four months 14* 428,000 pounds were delivered." Kills Husband and Solf. At midnight, Tuesday night, Mrs. H. B. Tunure arose from her bed at Mason City, Iowa, and shot her hus­ band twice through the head, and after making sure that her husband was dead she then killed herself. The six children were awakened only In time to extinguish a fire which had caught In the clothing of their mother, but her body had already been badly burned. Not until after the deed was committed did anyone suspect that she had been acting strangely of late. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that the deed was committed while she was temporarily insane. Steals ass.ooo from-a A. J. Schroth, a (bookkeeper in the First National Bank of Birmingham, was arrested by United States Marshal Leonard, charged with the embezzle­ ment of $35,000 of the bank's funds. He was released later on furnishing bail in the sum of $10,000. The defal­ cation was discovered by National Bank Examiner Slack, who found a number of false entries in the books. Mr. Slack says the bank is In excel­ lent condition and will not be affected. It has a capital stock of $100,000 Vortoao for a Poor Soldier. Henry W.
