The markets in which Great Britain had heretofore been supreme were increas- ingly threatened. The commercial de- Pression in the United Kingdom was aggravated by the conditions in South Africa. The revenue for 1903-04 was $13,620,000 below the estimate while the expenditure exceeded the estimate by $15,035,000. The repeal of the duty on wheat had been more costly than anticipated, without affording the con- sumer the relief expected. The net total for the financial year was $27,- Mr, Chamberlain estimated the ex- penditures of 1904-05 at $714,400,000, and the revenue on the basis of the existing taxation at $695,300,000, leav- ing a deficit of $19,100,000 to be made up. He proposed, therefore, to increase the income tax by two cents. He also proposed an additional tax of four cents per pound on tea. The chancel- lor further proposed a readjustment of tobacco, imposing a duty of 81 cents on tobacco stripped before imported, also an additional duty of 12 cents on cigars and an additional 25 cents on foreign cigarettes. Mr. Chamberlain proposed also to raise the moisture limit to 32 per cent. and introduce three or four different rates in the drawbacks, which he hoped would increase Great Britain's tobacco export trade, especially to the colo- nies, The net gain by these tobacco changes was estimated at $2,750,000. New York Solid for Parker. Albany, N. Y., April 19—The demo- cratic state convention for the elec- tion. of delegates to the national con- - Vention selected the following dele- gates-at-large: David B. Hill, of Al- bany; Edward Murphy, Jr., of Troy; George Ehret, of New York city, and James W. Ridgeway, of Brooklyn. The delegates were instructed by a vote of 301 to 149 for Alton B. Parker as the state’s candidate for president, Russia to Issue $200,000,000 Bonds. Cologne, April 19.—It is announced that Russia will issue in Paris, Brus- sels and Amsterdam $200,000, worth of five per cent. treasury bonds. The announcement comes at a moment when it might be thought Russia would not choose to attempt to borrow money unless it feared defeats on land as bad as those it has suffered at sea. Prison for Dishonest Clerk. ine SAYS JUDGE IS CORRUPT. No Impediment of Speech Has Prof. Warts | When Testifying Against a Fiorida Federal Jurist. Washington, April 1%—John Wurts, im the law school of Yale versity, gave testimony Tuesday against Judge Charles Swayne before the sub-committee of the house com- mittee. As to Judge Swayne’s reputa- tion in Jacksonville, Fla, Prof. Wurts said: “Judge Swayne’s reputation in JUDGE CHARLES SWAYNE Jacksonville was that of a judge who was open to influence and whose de- cisions were goverened by other con- siderations than the law and the evi- dence. The witness testified that Judge Swayne had a private car of the Jack- sonville, Tampa & Key West railroad at his disposal for something like two years years during the receivership of Mason Young, who was appointed by Judge Swayne. According to Prof. Wurts, the Florida Central & Peninsula railroad furnished Judge Swayne a pri- vate car for himself and party to go to the Pacific slope. This trip caused much scandalous talk in Jacksonville and the witness said on his return Judge Swayne told him that the only expense the trip had been to him was the provisioning of the car. The ap- pointment of John King, a young man without legal knowledge or training, as master in chancery in a pending sult, involving the Florida Southern railway, was another of the accusa- tions brought forward by Prof. Wurts against Judge Swayne.. STRIKERS CONTROL A TOWN. At Garrett, Pa., a Fire Was Started That Caused the Deaths of a Miner's rs Family. Somerset, Pa., “April 19.—The strik- tng coal miners at Garrett are reported to have taken possession of the town. Armed men are said to be patrolling the streets and a mob armed with rifles and shotguns are reported to have sur- rounded the works of the Garrett Coal company. An outbreak is momentarily expected between the strikers and the miners in the company barricade. The latter are nearly all Italians and are said to be armed and prepared to resist an attack if made. Sheriff Coleman soon as apprised of the state of af- fairs organized a posse of 25 and started for the scene of the trouble. At least 200 shots were exchanged between the mob and men at the mines last night, but so far no fatalities have been reported. During the night the dwelling of Jerry Meyers, a miner who has been out of employment for sev- eral months, but who formerly worked for the Garrett Coal company, was burned. Mrs. Meyers, her two daugh- ters, one son and two small children perished in the flames. Mr. Meyers and a boarder named Jonas Sullivan dashed through the flames to safety. The Meyers house occupied a site on a bluff in full view of the town and the hundreds of people who rushed to the scene were helpless to rescue the women and children. Garrett is a mining town and has a population of ‘about 1,000. President Frank B. Black, of the Garrett Coal company, is here consulting with the sheriff.

Washington, April 19.—In the house Tuesday Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) presented a rule for the immediate consideration of the statehood bill. Following a brief explanation of the bill by Mr. | Dalzell, Mr. Williams (Miss.), the mi- JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS, nority leader, charged that the bill was but a pretext to stay the demand of the territories for admission, He expressed the opinion that the republi- cans had no idea of passing the Dill at this session, or in fact, any idea that it would pass at all. ‘The bill, he said, simply was “apples to the eye and ashes to the taste,” and of- fered in such a form that it was known beforehand it could not receive the ap- probation and votes of the minority. In opposing the rule of Mr. Moon (Tenn.) declared that the bill was an intensely wicked and partisan measure which, if passed would violate the plighted faith and honor of the United States to the five civilized tribes of Indians in the matter of treaty obli- gations. He inquired of the republi- cans if they were going to pass the bill in violation of their party plat- form, and of treaty obligations. Tho territorial delegates in the house, he maintained, had protested “until the hour of coercion by the republicans to meet political exigencies,” Denying that the republicans had been guilty of bad faith, Mr. Dalzell said the bill would take its course as a party measure because it was reported by the majority of the committee, sub- mitted to a party caucus and brought into the house pursuant to a rule adopted by that caucus. He justified the measure on the ground “that we are endeavoring to sustain the relative power of the senate and house of rep- resentatives in legislation.” HARRIMAN KNOCKED OUT, Effort of the Railroad Magnate to Delay Execution of Anti-Merger Decision Quleted by the Ciroult Court. St. Paul, Minn., April 19.—In the United States circuit court here Judges Sanborn, Thayer, Vandeventer and Hook unanimously denied the applica- tion of Harriman and Pierce and the Oregon Short Line Railroad company for leave to intervene in the case of the United States against the Northern Securities company on the following grounds: - First—The plan of the directors of the Northern Securities company for the distribution of the stock of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railway companies is not violative of the decree in the Northern Securi- ties case. Second—No one but the United States can successfully appeal to the court to enjoin the execution of that plan on the ground that it is in viola- tion of the Suerman anti-trust act and the United States expresses sat- isfaction with the present decree. Third—The stock of the two railway companies is not in the custody of the court. Fourth—An intervention is not nec- essary to enable the petitioners to pro- tect any pecuniary interest or equity they have. A representative of the Harriman interest said that the decision is just what they expected it would be. The suit was brought in the United States circuit court merely as a matter of form so as to give Minnesota an op- portunity to exercise jurisdiction in the case if it so desired. He said: “We did not expect that Mr. Harriman’s petition would be granted and after learning the attitude of the attorney general we were sure that the applica- tion, would be denied. Our attorneys, however, thought it a matter of legal decency to bring suit there. We sh now institute new proceedings but just of what nature or when has not yet been fully determined.” It is probable that any new action will be brought in the courts of New Jersey, in which state the Northern Securities _}| company secured its charter.
