Itffrai..iiili7 , 7,1 NDON MADE IN ONE LUMP. dufflclent Sum Appropriated to Build tho Capitol. Olympia, March 8. Scobey's bill, making an appropriation of $500,000 to continue work on the capitol building the next two yeara, came up for consid eration as the special order in the house at 2 p. m. The lobby was filled with residents of Olympia, a majority of whom were ladies, and great interest was manifested in the result. J. C. Taylor, of Pierce, started the ball rolling by offering an amendment which pro vided that D30,000 should be appropri ated Instead of $500,000. The amend ment was adopted, the friends of the measure accepting it with favor. Taylor bad. previously opposed the measure, but he with others of the opposition were willing to support it if a sufficient amount to complete the capitol were appropriated at one time. They be lieved that an appropriation by each irgiooiure leuueu to extravagance, .mor gan of Walla Walla moved to lay the bill on the table. This motion was lost 23 to 44 the Populists supporting it. The bill was then put on its final pass age. Before the vote Hcobey made a speech in favor of the bill. He said the amendment bad been offered by certain gentlemen who were previously opposed lo the measure, but had now come to its support. Rogers, the Populist, made a lonur arwncli airaiimt. Mia hill Mo ... peated the argument made before the committee that the state was too hard up to expend money for a building at this time, and that the lands to be sold to raise the capitol fund would not bring a sufficient amount to make the bonds good. McArdie, under suspension of the rules, endeavored to amend the bill so that laborers on the building should re ceive the pay usually given for such work by private individuals. The amendment was lost. Then, after nu merous speeches, the vote was taken and the biil passed 49 to 21. IN THE IRON WORLD. irneaalnea In Coke Olairlet Over Labor Troubles. New Yobk, March 8. The Iron Age to-morrow will say: The outlook is fa vorable for a moderate advance in Bes semer ore and there is little hope of any recovery in non-Bessemer ore. As a matter of fact, sales have been made to Eastern furnaces at figures lower than ever. This means there is a chance for higher cost of Bessemer pig, but little prospect through producers' necessities in foundry grades. Only a rush in the demand can bring that about. iue coice situation is puzzling, mere is uneasiness as to renewed labor trou bles and some evidence that producers are maneuvering for an advance. The purchases ol Bessemer pig by the three leading Pittsburg concerns are estimated at an aggregate of about 125,000 tons, wuicd clears me market lor some time to come. A good deal of work is in sight in fin ished iron and steel. St. Louis has 44.- 000 cars to place. It is estimated thus far that orders for 27,000 cars have been given out, which is a considerable im provement over last year. For struc tural work the outlook is quite pleasing with reference to tonnage. The Dela ware bridge of the Pennsylvania com pany, involving upward of 10,000 tons, IS soon to be eiven out. There is nrrw- fiect of a good deal of work in building ron. .The steel rail trade continues slow. Still, Eastern mills took about 117,000 tons, including 12.000 tons for a Georgia railroad.

Regarding the military deficiency the committee said: "We find the deficiency in the military department over the appropriations made in 1893 to be about $43,000. This is in great part represented by claims against the state as yet unaudited. These claims are as a rule just claims held by individuals in all parts of the state, and upon being-audited by the military board,' which consists of the governor, state auditor and adjutant general, should be paid from tbe military fund. However much we may question the expediency, advisability or necessity of maintaining this large outlay, the fact remains that the parties holding these claims dealt with the state in good faith, expecting to be paid, and we therefore recommend that the above ap propriation be made, to be used in tak ing up such claims only as are approved by the above named military auditing board. "In an examination into the financial management of tbe military department the appropriation committee has been overwhelmed by an apailing exhibition of recklessness, extravagance and inca pacity on tbe part of the adjutant-general. " lie is practically the business head of the military organization. He is a member of the military board, which makes the expenditures, and also a member of tbe military auditing board, which passes upon these expenditures, so that he can justly be considered the responsible head in the management of our military finances. An examination of the records for the past four years ha shown to the committee an utter lack of tbe ordinary sense, sagacity and com mon prudence which govern in the fin ancial transactions of to-day, and the unrestrained prodigality and profuse ness of expenditure on the part of the bead of the military department war rant the belief that a few more years of the present management will put the department so far in arrears that a dec ade will be required to place it again on an even footing. The committee find that, owing to disorders occurring in territorial days, the legislature Baw fit to establish a one-fifth of a mill tax on the assessed valuation of property in the state, to go into what is termed the mil itary fund. The entire receipts from this tax wetd formerly expended under no restrict ons, but upon obtaining state hood ii became necessary, because of constitutional provisions, to make a specific appropriation from this fund for the maintenance of the military organi zation. The limits set by previous leg islatures as to the amount of money to be expended seems to have been utterly ignored, and the past two legislatures have found it necessary to meet defi ciencies caused by the failure of the adjutant-general to keep within the bounds set by them. The last legisla ture appropriated $80,000 for the main tenance of the militia for two years $40,000 for each fiscal year. This was believed to be sufficient to keep the National Guard at a high standard of excellence, provided ordinary care, fru gality and common business prudence were exercised by the chief military staff officer in whose hands the affairs of the militia are practically intrusted. We find, however an absolute lack and ab sence of economy, and no inclination whatever to keep the expenses within the appropriation. The Cane Agalnat Stanford's Estate. San Fkascisco, March 7. Lewis D. McCusick, who has received his ap pointment as special counsel in the gov ernment's suit against the Stanford estate to recover its pro rata of the Pa cific railroad debt, said this morning he had no idea when the action would be begun. No complaint has yet been filed in the case, and it is not known whether the attorney-general will have it drawn up here or in Washington. Until the complaint is prepared the government's p!a will not be known. California Militia to Bo Paid. S.!f Francisco, March 7. The long delayed, payments to the members of the National Guard for field services during the late strike are to be made. General Chad bourne expects that the warrants and check books will arrive from Sacramento in a few days, and then the force of clerks under his com mand will commence to pay off the sol diers at once. General Chadbourne stated this afternoon that every mem ber of the guard would receive his money within fifteen days. FOUND A SHORTAGE. Huddled Condition of a Hladonary So ciety 'a Account. New Yobk, March 7. There Is a shortage In the accounts of tbe Ameri can Church Missionary Society, and the books of the organization have been found to be in such confusion that the experts are not as yet in a position to make a detailed statement. The state ment implicates Key. William A. New bold, of Montclair, N. J., and the treas urer, Henry A. Oakley, of New York city. The fact that their accounts were in a muddled condition was discovered about a month aero, and at nnm a an a. cial committee was appointed to inves tigate the matter. To-day a meeting of the executive committee was held. The special committee presented its report in which it was stated that a shortage had been found. The report itself the committee refused to make public. Bishop Peterkin, of West Virginia, said to-night relative to the action of tbe executive committee: "The irregularities are such as war rant the removal of the secretary and treasurer from office. The society's ex penditures are between $25,000 and $30, 000 a year, and the money is paid out mostly in small sums, making the audit ing of the accounts ext.rnmnlv Hiffirnlt.

A Tangla In tho Affairs of tho Immigra tion Department. Washinotok, March 7. There is a curious tangle in the affairs of the im migration bureau which cannot be straightened out until the president re turns from his trip to North Carolina. By an act passed during the closing hours of congress, and which received tbe president's approval, the office of superintendent of immigration was abolished, and the position of "commissioner-general of immigration" was created. No provision was made in the bill, which was drafted by tbe treasury department, to continue in office Mr Herman Stump, of Maryland, the pres ent emcient superintendent 01 immigra tion under the new title given to the duties of his office as "commissioner general of immigration." The conse quence is that the immigration bureau is now without an official head. Mr. Stump continues to exercise general supervision over the work 01 the office, but the official mail has to be signed by the chief clerk. When tbe president re turns of course it will be entirely compe tent for him to make a recess appoint ment designating "Superintendent" Stump as "commissioner-general," and if the senate, when it meets in Decem ber, confirms the nomination everything will be all right. In the meantime, and until the president returns and takes action, there is a vacancy at the head of tne immigration bureau. THE GOVERNMENT WON. A Caaa Involving Clalma for Rebatea of Tariff. New Yobk, March 7. Among the de cisions banded down to-day in the United States circuit court of appeals was one which was a signal victory for the government, the decision in question being in the case of the United States against E. Rosen wald & Bro., import ers. The judgment of the lower court in favor of the importers is reversed, and the collector's classification of Sumatra tobacco, on which the case hinees. is sustained. The case is unusually im portant, because the refunds claimed by importers of Sumatra tobacco under the tariff of 1883, still unpaid, amount to over $1,000,000. The decision may en able the government to prevent any re covery at all by the importers. In ad dition it will probably prevent any future similar claims for refunds. Queer Pulpit Ctteraocea. Boston, March 7. The Rev. W. H. Smith, of South Acton, one of the lead ing Universalis! ministers, declared that 90 per cent of ministers were looking for new parishes, and were muzzled by cir cumstances. He said : "I think when a rich man hears that a number of po- I)le have been killed in a mine he re oices. That is the spirit among the rich. Then the rich are over-reaching, taking advantage of the poor in every direction. 1 believe we shall yet have a war in which every man will carry the most approved gun and go out hunting for rich men as they do for squirrels." He closed by quoting: "The republic is a delusion, freedom a dream and the song of liberty a funeral dirge." The other clergymen have expressed their disapproval of Mr. Smith's remarks. Chinese General Beheaded by Hla Hen. London, March 7. Under date of Tien Tsin, to-day, the Times publishes a dispatch saying that disturbances are increasing.

Two years ago the city of Tacoma at a special election appropriated $300,000 for the extension of its water system to Pattison springs. These did not have the capacity sup posed, and as the money was voted for a special purpose it was imaossible to extend the system in any oth, 'direction ' without another vote of the pq .pie. The bill is for the purpose of agaie submit- ting the matter. .
