SENATE ADJOURNS
Conference Report on Phil
ippine Bill Adopted.
WARM DEBATE AT THE CLOSE
Carmack Want & Further Investi
gation of tlie Philippine Q,ues
t tion Compliments to
'Frye. ,
After a cession marked by some o
the stormleEt debates ever heard la the
American Congress, the Senate ad
journed sine die at 5:30 yesterday after
noon. During the last hours of the session
there was a tart debate on the Philip
pine Question, participated In by Car
mack. Spooner, Culberson, McCoraas
and Lodge. The conference report fa
the Philippine government bill was
adopted without any serious opposition,
and then, when the desks were cleared
for adjournment, Carmack called up his
resolution for the continuance of the
Investigation of the Philippine ques
tion, and for a visit to the Philippine
by the committee during the present
Summer. This started the trouble, and
for more than an hour a battle of words
was waged. Spooner delivered a scath
ing denunciation of the minority of the
Philippine committee for what he de
clared was an attack upon the Ameri
can Army.
i i
WASHINGTON", July L When the Sen
ate convened today at 11 o'clock there
-were no Indications of the exciting
scenes of yesterday. Bailey entered the
chamber from the Democratic Cloak
room soon after the invocation had been
pronounced and took hlB seat on the
Democratic side. He was joined by
Spqoner and they chatted together for a
few minutes. Representative Burleson
then Joined Bailey and had an extended
talk with him. Beveridge did not appear
In the Senate in the early part of the
cession. After his chat with Burleson
Bailey left the chamber.
Hale presented the final report of the
conferees on the general deficiency bill,
and it was agreed to without debate.
This disposes of the bill.
Lodge, chairman of the committee on
Philippines, called up the conference re
port on the bill to provide for a tempo
rary civil government for the Philippine
Islands. The agreement of the conferees,
which already had been published, was
read in full.
Beveridge, who had been engaged in
3ils committee room, entered the chamber
about half an hour after the Senate con
vened. As he went to his seat, other
Senators Joined him and shook him
cordially by the hand. Later he was Join
ed by Hansbrough, who was present dur
ing the scene with Bailey, and by War
ren, who had an extended chat with him.
Beveridge then went over on the Repub
lican side and talked for some time, with
Allison.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
report on the Philippine bill, the House
amendments to a bill reserving certain
public lands and public buildings In Porto
Rico lor "public usee, was laid before the
Senate. On motion of Foraker the Sen
ate agreed to a conference and Foraker,
Wetmore and Cockrell were named as
conferees.
Adoption of Conference Report.
Lodge then moved the adoption of the
conference report on the Philippine bill.
Culberson, one of the Senate conferees,
slid he had declined to sign the con
ference report because he could not con
scientiously vote for the measure as
agreed upon, or recommend Its passage
to the Senate. He thought It would serve
no good purpose to make an extended
statement of his position. Culberson said
the report of the Secretary of War Indi
cated that from May 1, 189S, to April 30,
1902, the expenditures for the Army were
$605,000,000 in round numbers, while of this
sum only 5170,000,000 was expended In the
Philippines. This statement Culberson
questioned and figured up an expenditure
by the United States of $222,436.406"on ac
count of the Philippines, and even these
figures, he said, did not Include some of
the expenditures made for the Philip
pines. Patterson declared that from every
standpoint, wherever the Senate "bill has
been changed, the bill, as agreed to by
the conference, had been made worse
than It was as passed by the Senate.
Adverting to the provision for a legisla
tive assembly In the Philippines, he de
clared It would require at least four
years for the taking and publication of
the census. How long the President of
the United States would require to pro
claim the result of the census and call
for an election of an assembly nobody
now could telL He said one might as
well stand with a lighted torch In a
powder magazine as to create popular
assemblages In a subjugated country.
Patterson discussed the investigation
made by the Philippine committee. He
asserted that the witnesses before the
committee had consisted mainly of Ar
my officers who would not give .the
country the unbiased view that the peo
ple want. Patterson also referred to Ad
miral Dewey's testimony concerning the
agreement lor the surrender of Manila
before the attack of August 13, 1S9S. He
said this understanding provided that no
American soldier should be killed, but
notwithstanding this agreement. General
Merrltt permitted the assault without
any knowledge of the agreement. He as
serted that his revelation calls for a
court-martial or a board of inquiry. The
lives of the American soldiers were to
precious to be sacrificed to serve the pur
poses of anyone. Patterson declared In
closing that It Is the purpose of the
majority to turn the Philippines over to
the control of people with money. The
conference report then was agreed to.
The final conferqnee report on -the
Naval bill was agreed to and the confer
ence report on the Porto Rico public
lands and buildings bill was agreed to
without debate.
Carmack called up his resolution of
lered yesterday on behalf of the minority
of the committee on the Philippines
authorizing that committee to sit dur
ing recess to prosecute its inquiry into
the Philippine question and to visit the
Philippine Islands In prosecution of
that inquiry.
Kean suggested that the resolution go
to the committee on contingent expenses
and Spooner and McComas contended
that the Senate could take no action until
the resolution had been passed on by
the committee on contingent expenses.
Carmack, In. support of the resolution,
said the committee on the Philippines
had not considered It. A large part of
the Investigation by the committee had
been a farceand the Investigation had
been "choked, strangled and destroyed."
Spooner declared that the attack made
upon the Army by the minority of the
Philippine' committee of the Senate was
not only a "farce," as It had been termed,
but a wicked and cruel farce.
At 3:10 P. M. the House concurrent re
solution, providing for the final adjourn
ment of this session of Congress at 5:30
P. M. today was agreed to. Allison and
Cockrell were appointed a committee to
Join a !lk6 committee of the House to
Inform the.. President that Congress was
..ready to adjourn, '
Spooner, resuming, In warm terms de
nounced the action of the minority of
the Philippine committee, asserting that
It was tlje fault of the minority that the
investigation had been, as stated, a
farce." The Democrats had mistaken the
temper of the American people. They
knew now, and ought to have known be
fore, that the greater part of the Ameri
can people demanded fair play.
Lodge, chairman of the committee,
made an extended statement of the work
of the committee. The questions discussed
now were about to be taken to the larger
tribunal of the American people and we
"are perfectly willing to make the ap
peal to that tribunal." He did not think
anything was to be gained by a continu
ance of the investigation dhring the Sum
mer. The case had gone to the American
people. "We will hear from fhem next
November. We will make the appeal,
if the other side does not."
After McComas had addressed the Sen
ate briefly in support of the Army and
the majority of the Philippine committee,
Carmack resumed, saying that if it were
proper he would denounce Spooners re
marks as "the merest balderhash." "The
fact remains," he said, "that the com
mittee failed to perform its duty and
deliberately suppressed the purposes of
the investigation." He denied the charge
that the minority of the Philippine com
mittee had assailed the Army.
After a brief recess, the Senate, at 5
o'clock reconvened, and the approval of
the' President was announced to the
meefmre temporarily to provide civil
government for the Philippines.
At 5:10 o'clock, Allison and Cockrell
reported to the Senate that the President
had no further communication to make
to Congress.
Cockrell offered the following resolution
which, he said, gave him great pleasure:
"That the thanks of the Senate are
hereby tendered to Hon. William P. Fry
for the dignified, impartial arid courteous
manner in which he has presided over
its deliberations during the present ses
sion." The resolution was adopted unani
mously. At 5:28 President Pro Tern. Frye, ad
dressing the Senate, said:
"Senators The resolution Just adopted
by you Is very grateful to "me. My duties
as presiding officer have been very agree
able and comparatively easy through you;
and my debt is to you rather than yours
to me. I hope our dear Lord will keep
you all during the coming vacation and
permit you to return in health and
strength for the duties of public life once
more.
"Senators, the hour has arrived for
adjournment under the concurrent re
solution passed and the chair, declares
the Senate adjourned sine die." (Ap
plause).. For sometime after adjournment, Sen
ators remained upon the floor talcing
leave of their colleagues and friends.
"WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
No Bribery in Connection With. Pro
posed Sale of Danish. Islands.
WASHINGTON, July L Chairman Dal
zell. of the special committee of the House
which investigated the charges In connec
tion with the purchase of the Danish West
Indies, today submitted the report of that
committee. Aftor detailing the charges
and showing that Christmas had repudi
ated the alleged report on which the
charges were based, the committee sums
up the results of their Investigation as fol
lows: "That there is not the slightest sem
blance of evidence that any member of
Congress, either directly or Indirectly,
was offered any bribe,, or was paid any
valuable consideration of any kind or
character to vote lor the adoption or rat
ification of a treaty of sale of the Danish
West Indian Islands to the United States.
There is not the remotest ground from
which to draw an Inference or on which
to base a conclusion that there was any
corruption or wrongdoing on the part of
the public officials of the United States
in connection with the negotiations and
purchase of the Danish Went Indian Is
lands. It is plain beyond peradventure
that the bribery alleged In the report
could have existed nowhere save In the
Imagination of Christmas, since the whole
burden of his story is that he had no
money. It Is In evidence that he had to
borrow In order to pay his passage home
from this country."
After citing the allegation that Christ
mas had enlisted the services of Abner
McKlnley, brother of the late President;
of W. C. Brown and of Sellgman & Co., In
jNew xorK, tne report gives the testimony
of each of these parties denying the alle
gation. Similar denials are given from the
Senators and Representatives who have
been referred to. The report adds:
"Each and every one of the parties thus
named appeared before the committee and
gave the lie to" the statement of the re
port with the exception of Senator Clark,
of Montana, who, however, stated to the
chairman that he had never met Christ
mas, and had not, therefore, as. a matter
of course, had any conversation with him
on any subject. Senator Lodge met Christ
mas two or three times, but it is unneces
sary to cite his testimony since the-report
speaks of him as "the most respected
member, of the Senate, and who of all the
persons I have met In America, is the only
one that cannot be bribed."
The report also exonerates those "who In
a private capacity had dealings with
Christmas, Including Carl Hansen, Rich
ard P. Evans and C. W. Knox. As to the
statement that Christmas was Introduced
to W. J. Bryan, the report states that
Mr. Knox, who Is said to have made the
Introduction, testified that he never saw
W. J. Bryan.
SUNDAY CLOSING.
S. Louis Exposition Company Re
plies to Ministers' Crasade.
ST. LOUIS. July "L A copy of Lord
Lansdowne's letter to Ambassador Choate,
accepting the invitation to participate in
the world's fair, was received today from
the Secretary of State. The display to
be made by Great Britain at the fair will
consist largely of educational and art ex
hibits. Opportunity will also be afforded
the BrltlsH manufacturers to make ex
hibits. Wilbur F. Crafts, of the Sunday Reform
Association, Is continuing his propaganda
lor closing the Louisiana Exposition Sun
days, in spite of the fact that the Louis
iana Exposition Company has given every
evidence of a firm purpose to observe the
Sunday-closing clause of the law provid
ing for Federal participation in the Ex
position. A number of additional letters
from ministers and religious bodies were
received by the Exposition Company to
day. All of these letters were Identical
In context, asserting "Sunday closing con
tract is contemplated that cannot be
ignored "without redress."
The Exposition Company is sending to
these correspondents copies of the para
graphs pertaining to the closing of the
Exposition on Sunday. It Is said that
an unbiased exposition of these documents
will completely vindicate the exposition
from insinuation of double dealing and
equivocation which Is laid upon them in
the crusade which Dr. Crafts is" conduct
ing. In a letter received from Commissioner
Zelgglo, written at Florence op June 17,
he says that the Crown Prince of Slam,
while In Florence recently, manifested
considerable Interest In the world's fair
and said he would certainly spend a few
days In St Louis next September. Tho
Crown Prince of Slam spent 18 days In
Florence and Mr. Zelgglo had' the honor of
entertaining him as his guest at his
home several days.
Commissioner Zelgglo has learned that
King Menellk, of Abyssinia, desfres to
visit the world's fair. Mr. Zelgglo sug
gests that a formal Imitation be extended
to His Majesty by the directors of tho
exposition.

UNION PACIFIC STRIKE.
Center of Operations Moved to West
ern Shops.
OMAHA, Neb., July 1. The center of op
erations In the Union Pacific machinists'
and boiler-makers' strike has been partial
ly removed from this city to the West.
The labor officials sent a large delegation
of orcanlzers to the shops at Evanston,
Cheyenne, Rawlins and other p'olnts In the
West, whei-e the men ere reported to have
remained at work. The same train that
carried men to Wyoming also took Gen
eral Manager Dickinson, Superintendent of
Motive Power McKeei; and Division Su
perintendent Baxter, who go to safeguard
the company's Interests and keep traffic
clear. Presluent,Burt remains In this city,
.and with Master Mechanic Barnum, is
watching the progress of the strike at this
point. Locally the strikers claimed a new
victory when the axle and wheelmen quit
work 'this morning. This, they declare,
will cripple the car department.
Cheyenne has become the most Import
ant center of the strike In the West, The
company had up to last night secured 150
men who were to go on the payrolls at
that point, and be ready to begin work at
any time. The strikers had received no
official information of this up to today,
but one of the leaders said they did not
doubt tho accuracy of the report, as they
had been advised that the company was
shipping men Into Cheyenne. He said a
carload had gone out within the last 24
hours, and. that they looked for tho com
pany to make an effort to start the shops
there with the normal force. Some of
these men are said to be from the strik
ers' own ranks, and those who were for
merly employed Sn the shops.
Word was received tonight that the ma
chinists at Grand Island and Columbus,
and a third of the force at Evanston had
gone on strike 'during the day. It was
also stated that the men who remained at
work would quit tomorrow.
Five Remain at Wort.
DENVER, July 1. Five non-union men

ITALIAN STRIKER .KILLED.
First
Loss ot Life In Anthracite
Fields Trouble.
WILKESBARRE. Pa,, July. L The first
loss of life during the anthracite strike oc
curred today at the William A. colliery at
Duryea. Antonio Gulseppe, an Italian,
was shot dead by one of the coal and Iron
policemen from behind the stdekade of
the colliery. Reports differ as to the causa
ot tho shooting. The friends of the dead
man say he was walking on the road near
the stockade when he was fired upon, and
was on his way from Scranton to Duryea,
Another report Ib that the Italians tried to
get over the fence, and .would not heed the
warning of the .policemen to go away.
There Is much Indignation, and the Sheriff
of Lackawanna County was summoned to
take steps to preserve order, as It was re
ported that there would be an uprising
among the foreigners, and that they would J
attack the stockade.
The guard at the .William A. colliery
was doubled tonight and the Sheriff swore
In a special posse to preserve order. When
darkness came, about 1000 people collected
In the vicinity of the mines, and an attack
would undoubtedly have been made on
the guard had not the Sheriffs posse kept
the crowd In check. The officials of the
William A. colliery say that people on the
outside of the stockade were engaged In
firing at the guards all last night, and
that several of the coal and Iron police
had narrow escapes from being shot.

SMELTING TRUST SUIT.
Counsel, for the Company Says It Is
Not Illegal.
DENVER, July 1. James B. Grant,-gen-eral
manager of the American Smelting &
Refining Company's plants In Colorado,
was served today with notice of the suit
to be commenced In tho Supreme Court
for" a dissolution of the trust, and for the
appointment of a receiver for Its property.
This afternoon. Assistant Attorney-General
George -Post left for Pueblo and
Leadvllle to serve notice on the officers of
the Colorado, the Philadelphia and the
Bimetallic smelters, which are also al
leged to be In the trust. It Is likely that
the Supreme Court will decide Saturday
whether to allow the state to file Its suit.
The Supreme Court Is due to adjourn for
the term Saturday, and arguments in be
half of the state's case may not be heard
before September.
"Than; is absolutely no ground for such
an attack upon the American Smelting &
Refining Company," said J. F. Valle. coun
sel for the compariy, today." "The com
pany Is neither a trust, a combination
nor a monopoly. It merely bought up
some property that It wanted, just as
any man In any other business would do,
thereby enlarging his special business
and operating It on economic principles.
There Ik no state law prohibiting a man or
a corporation from buying what he or It
wants and operating It. We have not
done anything unlawful. Nor can It be
shown that the company. In Its opera
tion. Is in any way restraining trade.
Anybody else may go into the smelting
business If he has the capital."
Among the prime contentions on the
part of the American Smelting & Refin
ing Company -Mil be the question of juris
diction of the Colorado Supreme Court
The corporation Is organized under the
laws of New Jersey, and It will be stub
bornly contended that such a case Is
without the province of the Colorado Su
preme Court.
Tax on Undlilded Profits.
NEW YORK, July 1. While, beginning
today. Uncle Sam will remit his claims
of taxes which have been putting each
year recently 570.000,000 In his treasury,
and tho banks. National, State and sav
ings, are to feel the effects of this reduc
tion In their expenses, together wltn
various other lines of business enter
prises, the National banks have not been
eased by a decision rendered by Judge
Lacombe, In the Federal Court of Brook
lyn, holding that the Treasury Depart
ment must not repay the tax which was
levied on the undivided profits of one
bank.
Judge Lacombo's decision was given In
the case of the Leather Manufacturers'
Bank, brought as a test to .ascertain If
the Treasury Department could collect $154
which was levied as war taxes on the
undivided profits of 577,795, held by the
bank. When Congress passed the internal
revenue act In 1S9S. imposing a tax on
the surplus funds In the various banks,
objection was made, and the Leather
Manufacturers' Bank was the only one
to make the payment. Having done this
it brought suit to recover.
Taking this decision as a precedent, all
the banks In the country will be compelled
to pay the taxes which have accrued In
the last three years, as the act was not
repealed until this year. Nearly all the
banks In the country will make an effort
to have this decision reversed, and the
American Bankers' Association probably
will carry-this case to the Supreme Court.

PACIFIC CABLf PROPOSAL
OFFER, Tp HASTEN CONSTRUCTION
OF THE LINE.
Matter Considered (by the Cabinet,
bnt Held to Be Too Important
for a Hasty Decision.
WASHINGTON, D. a, July 1. Secre
tary Moody today laid before the Cabinet
the proposition of the Commercial Pa
cific Cable Company to hasten the con
struction of their cable across the Pa
cific, and offering important advantages
to the Government in return for the use
of the surveys made by the United States
steamer Nero for a cable route connect
ing San Francisco, Honolulu, Midway Isl
and, Guam and Manila.
The officials of the company state that
they are asking for these plans solely In
the name of their own company, and that
no other cable company, domestic or for
eign, has joined in the application. The
Navy Department Is earnestly desirous,
for military reasons, that the cable shall
be laid as soon as possible, as certain
safeguards are desired, and these formed
the basis of dlscuasidn before the Cabi
net today. It Is regarded as essential
that the route shall be ail-American, a.
point which will be secured by the use
of Midway Island as a relay station, and
a provision be made to avoid touching on
foreign soil between the terminals. An
other point was that the United States
Government shall have preferential rates
and time of transmission for Its messages,
and have the sole right. In Its discretion,
to use the cable In time ot war.
The subject was regarded as too Import
ant for an Immediate decision, and It Is
probable that before the company's appli
cation Is finally acted on. It will be re

APPROPRIATION STATEMENTS
By Chairman Cannon and Represen
tative Livingston.
WASHINGTON, July L Chairman Can
non, of the House appropriations commit
tee, today presented a statement of the
appropriations made at the present ses
sion of Congress, showing a total ot $150,
063,857, not including the .large amounts
that will be required for the Isthmian
canal and public buildings and river and
harbor contracts. In his statement, Mr.
Cannon says:
"An analysis of this tible shows that
the total estimated expenditures forecast
by the executive departments aggregrated
$776,384,318, and that the total approprla
tlonsmade, exclusive of $50,130,000 toward
an Isthmian canal, aggregate $750,063,
S57." After giving In detail the appropriations
under each bill, Mr. Cannon says:
"It Is not Inappropriate here to ad
vert to the fact that the expenditures for
the past two fiscal years, 1900 and 1S01,
show that during that period there has
been appropriated to the sinking fund
mdre than $113,000,000, a sum greater than
the law actually requires and which ex
ceeds the whole amount applied to the
extinguishment of the public debt during
all of the nine fiscal years from 1SS1 to
1S99 Inclusive. During the four years. of
President Cleveland's last administra
tion, from 1S93 to 1896 inclusive, only
$13,40Q,O47 was appropriated to the pa'
ment of public debt, while during the
same period that administration Issued
bonds to the extent of $762,315,400 in order
to raise money wherewith to pay cur
rent expenses and to -maintain the public
credit,
"An. analysis which I shall submit
shows that the appropriations made In
the regular annual bills for ordinary ex
penses of the government, payable dur
ing the fiscal year 1903, aggregate $595,
502,705, which, together with the sums
carried under permanent appropriations
and exclusive of the amount required
by the sinking fund, makes a total of
$664,423,920. In the nature of things and
in the light of past experiences, this en
tire sum. will never be expended, but
will probably be reduced In the neighbor
hood of 10 per cent. The revenues of the
government, as now estimated on the
basis ot the revenue reduction legisla
tion enacted at this session, amount to
$640,520,520. The expenditures made under
the appropriations of this session will
not exceed $600,000,000. or a sum approxi
mating -$40,000,000 less than the revenues
which we expect to derive under the
revenue laws as revised by this Con
gress." Mr. Cannon explains why he does not
Include the Panama Canal appropriation
In this statement.
Representative Livingston, of Georgia,
the ranking Democrat of the committee,
submitted a statement showing with the
inclusion of the Panama canal, "river and
harbor and other prospective expendi
tures, appropriations of over $1,000,000.
000 during the past session. His state
ment says In part:
"The direct appropriations made at this
session ot Congress, including the Isth
mian canal appropriation, reach the as
tounding aggregate of $800,193,837. To this
sum should be added the further amount
of $295,373,215 to Include contracts author
ized to be entered into In addition to the
specific appropriations which are made.
These contract authorizations are in the
nature of promissory notes of the Gov
ernment Issued at the session of Congress,
to be met and liquidated In the future,
and constitute as much a part of the ap
propriations chargeable to this session as
are the specific appropriations made, and
which are to be expended, not at once,
but throughout the coming fiscal year.
The two sums aggregate $1,059,577,052.
The appropriations. Including authorized
contracts of this session, exceed those In
cluding contracts of the last session by
$270,7SS.102. Tho last session of the 53d
Congress for the fiscal year 1898 was Dem
ocratic in both branches, and the Govern
ment was administered by President
Cleveland. It. therefore, affords fair
ground lor the purpose of comparisons.
The difference between the total then and
now amounts to the startling sum of
$55S,SS1,767, or more than as much again
as It required to conduct the affairs of
the Government under a Democratic Con
gress and Executive."
PUBLISHING IN UNITED STATES.
Census Bnrenn Gives Account of Op
erations of Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 1. The Census
Bureau today Issued its report on print
ing and publishing in the United States
for the census year 1900, showing a cap
ital of $292t517,077 invested In the 22.312
establishments representing the Industry
The value of the products of the Industry
Is returned at $347,055,050.
A feature of the report Is an extended
account of rhe operations ot the Associat
ed Press, showing the great development
of the news gathering methods during- the
past two decades. Almost the entire
chapter of news-gathering organizations
Is devoted to a history and detailed de
scription of the work of the Associated
Press, which, the report says, was the
leading organlaztion in 1900, and now Is
far In the lead of the news-gathering: or
ganizations of the United States. The re
port says that the Associated Press now
has about 700 members, more than half
of which are afternoon dallies, and serves
about 2500 daily and weekly papers In ad
dition. Most of the papers served are in
the United States, but there are 50 or
more In Canada, Mexico. Cuba and Porto
Rico. In Its regular news service, the
Associated Press now uses 9345 miles of
leased wire by day and 20,467 miles by
night. The annual revenues derived from
assessments levied on the newspapers
served exceed $1,900,000, and the number
of words dally received and transmitted
at each of the more Important offices Is
now over 50,000. or the equivalent of 35
columns of an average newspaper. For
gathering foreign news the Associated
Press hus contract relations with various
foreign news agencies with which It ex
changes news.
. Ot all newspaper and periodical estab
lishments, over 63 per cent were owned by
Individuals. 20 per cent by partnerships
and only 17 per cent by corporations. The
total number of wage-earners In the In
dustry had only increased 10 per cent
since 1SS0, but the value of products In
creased 24 per cent. There was a much
greater increase relatively among women
wage-earners than men. Of the total
value of products, advertisements formed
43 per cent, subscriptions and sales 36
per cent and books and job printing. In
cluding miscellaneous products, 21 per
cent. The total circulation per Issue of
dallies was enough to supply one for
every flvo inhabitants, and of weeklies
and monthlies one to every two inhab
itants. Over 1.250,000 pounds of paper
were used during 1900, of which almost 53
per cent, was consumed for newspapers.

YEATMAN A DEFAULTER.
Acconnts of Late Disbursing- Cleric
Are $18,000 Short.
WASHINGTON, July 1. United States
District Attorney Gould announced today
in the Probate Court that William S.
Yeatman, formerly disbursing clerk of the
War Department, was, at the time of his
death, April 20, 1901, a defaulter. So far
as known, the alleged defalcation amounts
to about $18,000. The Government will take
steps to recover the full amount. The de
falcation, Mr. Gould announced, was only
recently discovered, and was effected
through the manipulation of vouchers.
Mr. Gould's announcement was made when
the attorney for the administration of the
Yeatman estate today presented his ac
counts, and asked distribution of the es
tate. The court suspended action on the
account. The alleged defalcations cover
a long period, and In amount exceed the
assets of the Yeatman estate. Under the
law the Government claim has priority.

How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your

convincing proof that the kidneys and blad

What to Do. "
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish In curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
It, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessitvof being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for Its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

whether any of the proposed new war ves
sels should be built In Government navy
yards. The House had originally provided
that half of them should be constructed
In Government yards, and the other half
by contract. The Senate provided for the
construction of all by contract. The com
promise agreement authorizes the con
struction of one battle-ship In a Govern
ment yard, and also others In cases of
emergency, the provision being as fol
lows: "The Secretary of the Navy shall build
one of the battle-ships authorized by this
act In such navy-yard as he may desig
nate, and he shall build all the vessels
herein authorized In such navy-yards as
he may designate, should It reasonably
appear that the persons, firms or corpo
rations or the agents thereof bidding for
the construction of any of said vessels
have entered into any combination, agree
ment or understanding the effect, object
or purpose of which is to deprive the
Government ot fair, open and unrestricted
competition In letting contracts fox the
construction of any of said vessels."
There Is an appropriation of $175,000 for
the equipment of each navy-yard to bo
used for constructing any of the ships.
