THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, 2d EDITION. “TIS ALL MINE” His Stevenson Archer Acknowledges Guilt. SENTENCED FOR FOUR YEARS. The Wretched Man is Taken to Prison at Once. HE DID NOT WANT TO STAND TRIAL. —_—_——— EXPIATION. Stephenson Archer Goes to the Peni- tentiary for Five Years. Bautrwone, Mp., July 7.-Ex-State Treasurer Stephenson Archer this morning came into the criminal court in this city, confessed he was guilty under the indictment charging him with embezzling state fands and was sentenced by Judge Stewart to five years in the penitentiary The sudden and unexpected ending of this celebrated case caused considerable commo- tion in court circles. The trial of the case ‘was set for tomorrow, but Mr Archer decided not to stand trial but to plead guilty. Ac- companied by his son-in-law, ~ State Senator Benjamin Silver, jr., he came into the city from his house. near Belair, this morning, arriving at 8:90 o'clock. He immediately drove to the office of Bernard Carter, of counsel, where Mr. E. H. Gans, another of his counsel, was summoned. After a consultation it was iecided to go into court immediately and end the case. Judge Stewart and the state’s officers were accord- ingly notified. Mr. Archer's counsel read a long statement, which was signed by Archer, in which he begged the mercy of the court. He offers no excuse or palliation of his conduct and realizes the enormity of his crime. No blame for any part of it, he says, attaches to any one but himself, Mr. Archer, after the sentence, im- mediately left the court room and was driven to the penitentiary. Mr. Archer, in the court room, seemed bowed down by a realization of his terrible position. He looked extremely careworn and haggard. by Mr. Archer pleading guilty and throwing himself upon the mercy of the court. ‘The statement was in part as follows: “I de- sire here, in the presence of this court, to acknowledge that I am guilty of the offense charged against me in the indictment, and also to confess that Ihave been guilty of a great sin against almighty God; that I have proved false to the great trust committed to me by my native state; that I have deeply and ernelly wronged not only those friends who, because of their great and undoubted confidence in my integ- rity, became the sureties on my official bonds, but others also who have suffered pecuhiarily because of that same confidence. The sorrow and misery which have been caused by my con- duct is shared by many, but no blame for any part of it attaches to any one but myself. It is all mine and mine alone. ‘No part of the state’s money or securities was ever used by me in gambling, stock specu- lation or for political purposes, nor have I at this time one dollar of it left. I, therefore, submit myself to the good judgment and mercy of the court.” pace eee wenn SHOT ON ACCOUNT OF ‘VORK. Two Colored People From Alexandria Furnish Philadelphia a Tragedy. Puraperrata, Pa., July 7.—Daniel Mason, coiored, attempted to kill his wife, Sarah, this morning, by shooting a 38-calibre bullet into her and then blew his own brains out. The woman was taken to the hospital, where it was found that her wound was not a serious one. Mason married his wife four years ago at Alexandria, Va.,and he has always been in- sanely jealous of her, and has frequently theatened « kill her. ‘They have been living with Mason's aunt at No. 8 Caroline Place, and this morning when the woman wished to go ont and look for work Mason objected, and when she insisted he shot her in the shoulder and then blew his own brains out. FOUR KNIGHTS KILLED, An Illinois Central Train Deratled and Wrecked. Mrewavxre, Wis, July 7.—Everything is now in readiness for the armyof Pythian Knights and camp followers which is expected to sweep down on this city today. At head- quarters it is claimed that there will be fully 75,000 people here and Manager Williains says this is based on the returns made irom all parts of the country. There will be nearly 20,000 in the parade tomorrow, unless all cal- culations fall through. The Pennsylvania d egation, 1,200 strong and the first state dele- gation to arrive, came in at 9 o'clock last night in a special train of twenty-four couches over the St. Paul road, A special train with the New York delegation arrived later in the night. ‘The influx will begin in earnest this morning. The Chicago, Milwankee and St. Paul will bring in ten special trains betore noon and the Northwestern people report that they will lave fifteen trains before 1 o glock. Mitwavxee, July 7.—Gen. Carnathan, com- manding Uniformed Rank Knights of Pythias received a dispitch from Montano, Ill, at noon today, announcing the wreck of the Illinois special train containing the sixth regi- jis knights.

Sr. Pavt, Mrex, July 7.—The Western Union in this city hag been unable to get Fargo or ‘| Moorehead, Minn., which is located across the Red river from there. Their wires are down for some distance in all directions from Fargo and nothing definite can be learned from them at the present time. It is probable that a special train will start soon for the scene of the dis- aster, but it could not reach there before mid- night at the earliest, The condition of the wires would also greatly delay the speedy re- cof of definite news. eneral Passenger Agent Fee of the North- eru Pacific railway has the following telegram from Jamestown, N.D.: “About 2 at, assvere storm struck the Dakota division. No. 1 was blown from the track at the Fargo sho Roof was blown off depot at Mapleton. Ond of the elevators at Dalrymple moved off its founda- tion.

A num- THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS The House Will Wait Until All Diserep= ancies are Remedied. ‘THE STATEMENT CONCERNING A PROBABLE DEFICTT CAUSES SUSPENSE—THE FIGURES ON WHICH THE COMMITTERS WORKRD—MRB. CLEMENTS SATs DIs- ‘TRICT OFFICIALS ARE AT FAULT. The statement that Auditor Petty and the District Commissioners had discovered that the District appropriation bill if passed in ite present form would leave a big deficit in the District revenne caused considerable surprise today among members of the Houso familiar with the history of District appropriations. The chances are that no effort will be made to call up the conference report in the House until the matter hus been looked into aud come definite information received from the Com- missioners, As stated elsewhere, the Commie- sioners today addressed a letter to Congress giving = statement of the account as they figure it. Mr. McComas, who has charge of the bill, was absent from the House today. - ‘ME. CLEMENTS’ FIGURES, Mr, Clements, however, was seen by a Stan reporter. Mr. Clements said he had received no information directly from the Commission- ers about the alleged deficit in the District revenues, and so far as he was concerned the matter was veiled in mystery. “The bill as passed by the House, and also the one reported by the conference committee, hud been kept within » reasonable distance of the estimated income for the comi year," continued Mr. Clements, ‘“Qur ideas of such income were derived from the Commissioners, who estimated to us that the total amonnt which could be appropriated for the fiscal year 1891 was, inoludii Oe ernment’s share, $5,547,208.44. This naturally formed the starting point in making up the bill, The Commissioners then, in their itemized estimate ving their views as to the appropriation bill, pro- vided for an appropriation of 65,519,722.00. or 227,486.35 less than the esti amount available. The bill which passed the House Sprroncieted $5,382,934.15, or $214,274.29 less an the income. ‘The conference report rovides —_ for a] riation of an Ppro} 5,536,086.97, ping 11,171.47 less than the supposed income, bu s & it $16,314.88 more than the Commissioners’ estimate, This apparent in- crease over the estimate, however, is more than covered by an item amounting to $50,000 which was put in the bill at the request of the Commissioners, This item provided for paving certain streets in cases where the abutting property owners paid one-half the cost. Thié amount of $50,000 must. therefore, be added to the Commissioners’ esti- mate when it will be found that the appropriation bill as reported from the conference commit- tee provides for an expenditure less by $38,- 685,12 than the Commissioners’ estimates, WHERE THE DIFFICULTY LIES, “The difficulty therefore " said Mr. Clementay “4s solely at the District building,as from there came the information on which the bill is based.” Mr. Clements was asked what he would favor in case through mistake a large deficit would result from the appropriation bill. “I should favor,” said he, ‘a revision of the bill, as a debt should not be incurred to carry on the running expenses of the District. I know of nothing for which money is being appropri- ated just now which is important enough to warrant the District plunging itself further in debt. It is, of course, impossible to say just where the cut would come if the bill should be revised.” WHAT AUDITOR PETTY SAYS, “The matter of deficitin the District reve- nues if the appropriation bill in ite present form should be passedis no new question,” said Auditor Petty toa Stan reporter today, “and the committees of Congress cannot plead ig- norance or lack of information on the subject, Likewise it was impossible to fall back on the old book of estimates to show that the appropriation bili is under the Com- missioners estimates, as the origi- nal estimates were revised by the Commissioners as early as December, The original estimates were made in September and seemed to show a total revenue of €5,647,- 208.44, but in Mr. McComas’ report on the bill arevised estimate is made which shows an estimate of only @2,473,461.73 income not count- ing the government’s half. fh ae the Sccrotary of the Treasury in- formed Congress that the revenue would be even less, in his opinion it would be @2,145,- 676.48, but as early as March the Commissioners informed the committees that in their inion in round numbers $2,600,000 could: be counted on as the District's revenue for 1891. In March a thorough statement was made showing that $2,600,600.22 could be counted upon us the revenue for the coming year. The origmmal House bill made the District's share of the appropriation $2,549.329.99, which only left a surplus of ¥51,270.23. I informed Mr. McComas at that time that unless the provision for the annual payment of portions of the appropriations should be made not one cent should be added tothe bill, The committee were thereforo thor- oughly well informed tha’ addition to the bill would cause a deficit in inevitable ro- sult.” Mr. Petty will appear before the House com- mittee on appropriations tomorrow at 11 aek wiexe in thé question in all its de- tail 7 Interior Department Changes.

APPROPRIATION BILLS IX THE SENATE. There are three appropriation bills to come before the Senate this week, one cf which—the sundry civil—is likely to precipitate a debate of some length. It will be reported Tuesday or Wednesday. Among its provisions, as it passed the House, is an appropriation of $720,000 for the geological and irrigation surveys, to be ex- ended under the direction of Director J. W. Powell, and this will be antagonized by Sena- tor Stewart and possibly by other western Sen- ators, who want the irrigation survey to be considered by the Agricultura] Department. ‘The other two appropriation bills are the In- dian and consular and diplomatic. These ex- haust tbe list of regular appropriation bills, except the deficiency bill, which will not come before the Senate until near the close of the session. Transfers of Real Estate.

Hains, chief of the corps of engineers, has sent to the Secretary of War hts report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, The contains mach that is of in- terest to Washington, as it deals with the work on the Potomac date and the various bridges ‘across the river. In the report on the improvement of the Potomac river at Washington Col. Hains re- views at some length the legisiation on the matter as well as the work that has been ecoom- plished since the improvements began. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE OR THE RIVER FLATS. The report goes on to say: The amount ex- pended up to the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1889, is $1,423,764, or somewhat more than one- of the original estimate for the entire work. The following work has ao- Loog Bridge ime beta deopened. to 3s to feet and 8 width of from 40 to 550 fect, a partof which has filled up since and been redredged. The same channel below the bridge has been tos of 20 feet and a width of about feet felt to tbe fall dopa orga y aedgea, or has deepened itself, The Washig el nel has been dredged to a depth of 20 feet for & width of $50 fect throughout the entire length and from 7th street wharf to its junc- tion with the main channel is a depth of 1% feet for a width of from 100 to 250 feet, This chan- nel bas for the most part maintained itself to the full depth dredged, h some took place in the freshet of June, 1889, There has been dredged from the channels of the river and from the areas of the tidal reser- voir about 8,301,000 cubic yards of material, chiefly mud and sand, ail of which has been deposited on the flate, raising them above over- flow by ordinary high tides over almost the entire area of 621 acres, and some of it to a much higher _— thus cresting an area of magnificent parking jand where formerly there existed ijential marshes, Independent of the benofits to navigation or the incidental benefit to the health of the city, the vilne of this land is estimated to be far excess of the cost, WORK THE PAST TEAR. The amount expended during the past year has been $137,941.50, This sum vas devoted to completing certain dredging in the Washing- ton chanuel, raising some of the embankments along the outer margin of the i to some extent the embankments thus { coustructing the reservoir outiet, and other work incidental to carrying on an extensive work of this character. It is proper to re- mark that the work has suffered from lack of suilicient| money to prosecute it with more vigor. If funds had bees more liberally provided a much larger amount of work wouid have been accomplished at a still lower proportional cost. The work has been practically at a stand for yee year. Comparatively little was done di the year ending June 80, 1890, no appropriation having been made the previous year. The masonry of the reservoir outlet was completed up to within one course of the head walls and the coping during December, 1889, and the gates put in place. The removal of the cofferdam was completed about the middie of March, 1890, The gates work very sutisfactorily. There is now an available balance of only $5,184.72. ‘PROTECTION FROM FRESHET. The importance of an early appropriation of about $500,000 is strongly felt. The work that has been done at an expense of about $1,500, 000 should be put in a condition of safety against damage by freshets. From a ey of view thie is urgently demanded. The dredging in the Washington channel is now nearly finishea. It is decp and for the most part wide and commodious. A ingle freshet is apt to damage it immensely. ‘The amount of material that can be a into it, scattered over a large space, will necessitate expensive dredging to remove. The embankments around the margin of the fill to retain the material placed on the flats bavo now been raised to a considerable beight. They are coustantiy being eroded by the waves and need frequent expenditures to maintain thom, They should be protected bye revet- ment of stone, It would ~ an neemageesos measure for Con- gress to make 2 single appropriation of about 500,000 which could be applied in such a way as to protect what has been accomplished. Subsequent upproprintions could then be made more leisurely and without danger to the work ‘THE LONG BRIDGE. “The necessity for carly action in regard to the reconstruction of the Long Bridge has been referred to in my annual reports for the last eight yenrs, It is now imperative that this work should no longer de- layed if the destruction of the bridge itself as well as damage to the work on the river front. and still greater damage to the city is Bes s be taviied. The government has expended $1,500,000 in improving the naviga- tion and raising the flats, Pr While Long Bridge remains as it is, the work on the channel above it must be done over and over again. The trouble is not that there isa bridge at this place. It is becauso of the faulty construction of the bridge. ‘The spans are short, the i ous and set in positions that make them more obstructive to the flow of the water than they need be. Besides they ate built on pile and grillage toundations, whieh reach about to the level of low water and require eurochments or mounds of stone around them to keep the material composing the bed of the river from being washed awa: As the bridge will be used by the railroads and by the public generally it would seem to be only fair that the government shonld pay one- half the cost of its recoustraction.

Conferees Agree Upon the Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill. The conferees upon the consular and diple matic appropriation bill have reached an agree- ment upon the differences between the two houses. The Houve recedes from its disagree- ment to the Senate amendments increasing the salaries of the ministers to Turkey, the Argen- tine Republic and the United States of Colombia from $7,500 to $10,000, and providing for « minister to Peru at a salary of €10,000, the minister to Chili at present being also accred- ited to Pern, Also to the Senate amendments increasing the salary of the minister to Denmark from €5,000 to $7,500, changing the title of the American repre- sentative to Switzerland from minis- ter resident and consul general to envoy extraordincry and minister plenipotentiary and increasing the allowance of the commercial agent at Boma, in the Congo basin, for salary and expeuses from $4.000 to $5,000, this latter amount being a compromise from $6,000, PAN-AMERICAN AMEXDMENTS. The amendments made to the bill by the Sen- ate for the purpose of enabling the Prosident to carry into effect certain recommendations of the Pan-American conference are also agreed to by the House as an amendment increasing the salary of the consul general at the City of Mexico to €4,000. The ealary of the consul general at Vienna is fixed at $3,500. The House also recedes from its opposition to a majority of the Senate amend- ments increasing the salary of existing consn- lates or establishing new consulates, the Senate giving way in those cases in which the House refused to do so.
