Extracts From the Annual Report of Treasurer Morgan. Movement of Gold Last Year the Larg- est Ever Known—Amount of Money - in Circulation, The annual report of United States Treas- urer Morgan shows the net ordinary rev- enues of the government during the past fiscal year were $385,819,628.78, showing an increase of $30,881,844.54 over the year be- fore. The net ordinary expenditures showed an increase of $38,454,623.91, thus making = ae in surplus revenues of $7,572,- In seven months, beginning with last De- cember, upward of $81,000,000 was drawn out of treasury in redemption of notes, and the gold reserve was reduced during the same period by $29,000,000. During the next three months, with light redemptions and @ deficiency of $19,000,000 in the revenues, the treasury lost $15,000,000 of gold, but the reserve fell off only $2,000,000. Exports of Gold. The amount of gold exported during the fiscal year was the largest ever taken out of the country or brought into it in any like period, being upward of $108,600,000, and it is noted that $102,000,000 of It was drawn out of the treasury by the presenta- tion of legal-tender notes, According to the revised estimates the total stock of money of all kinds in the country on June 30 was $2,323,547,977, or nearly $51,000,000 less than at the same time last year. This contraction took place notwithstanding the addition of $45,500,000 to the stock of silver and an increase of $6,000,000 in the outstanding bank notes, and was caused, of course, by the exports of gold. Money in Circulation. The revised figures for the amount of money in circulation, that is, outside of the treasury, on June 30, place it at $1,596,846,- $29, or about $6,000,000 less than it was a year before. During the four months end- ing with October there was an increase of $125,000,000, a record altogether without parallel in the history of the country. The aggregate of money In the hands of the people and the average per capita were thus brought to a higher figure than had ever be- fore been reached. a INTERNAL REVENUE. Figures Taken From the Annual Re- port of Commissioner Miller. A little volume of light literature, suit- able for family reading aloud, has just been | issued by the Treasury Department. It 1s rot a novel publication, for commissioners of internal revenue have been getting them out ever since there has been a tax on whisky and tobac&. his year's edition, compiled by Commissioner Miller, contains something like 200 pages of figures, which go to show that for a number of years past the receipts from internal revenue have run along on a continuous upward sliding scale, notwithstanding that during the period noted several reductions in rates and remissions of taxation have been en- acted. The receipts were $116,000,000 in 1886, | $118,000,000 in 1887, $224,000,000 in TSS, $130,000,000 in. 1889, $142,000,000 in 1890, $146,000,000 in 18891, $153,000,000 In 1892 and $161,000,000 in 1893. Assuming that the rates of taxation will remain the same, the commissioner esti- mates the probable revenue from internal taxes for next year at $150,000,000, ‘This 1s $15,000,000 less than last year's estimate and $11,000,000 less than the actual yield last year, which was $161,000,000, There has been a decrease of $5,519,000 in the first three months of this fiscal year. FIRED THE JAIL. Plot of Courtney and Taylor, Capt. Cooper's Murderers, to Escape. Arthur Courtney and Henry Taylo>, the murderers of Captain Frank Cooper, made an unsuccessful attempt to escape from prison at Princess Anne, Md., Saturday night between 12 and 1 o'clock. Yesterday morning Jalier Brereton was aroused from his sleep by some one calling fire from the upper floor of the jail, where the prisoners are confined. Hastening out into the cor- ridor of the jail he recognized the voice to be that of Arthur Courtney, and upon in- vestigation found that smoke was passing from the cell in which the murderers were confined. ‘The fire was soon extinguished, the floor of the cell having been damaged slightly. An investigation was at once made to dis. cover the implements, if any, with whic! the prisoners had cut their chains. Court- ney finally admitted that they had cut them lin two with the blade of a case knife, which \had been notched like a saw by the use of a corset steel drawn across the blade. These implements he finally produced, having them concealed in the hem of his shirt. The presumption is that it was the in- tention of the murderers to overpower the | jailer as soon as their cell was opened and | make the'r escape. This is the second at- tempt on the part of Courtney and Taylor within the past two months to make their escape, and the jailer will use every pre- caution to see that no further attempt is made between now and the 15th of Decem- ber, the time appointed for their execu- tion. THE GREATEST GAME. Saturday’s the Best Exhibition of Foot Ball in America. HOW YALE ADDED 70 HER VICTORIES. Let Harvard Line Out in the First Half. THEN WENTIN AND WON. es Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BOSTON, November 26, 1893. No one who has not actually seen a Harvard-Yale foot ball game can fully appreciate what it is as a spec- tacle and how the contest stirs the blood and arouses the maddest kind of en- thusiasm, Nothing in modern times, certain- ly nothing in America, has equaled it. The Place that the sport holds in the minds of the friends of the two great colleges sug- gests the interest that the Greeks had in the Olympic games, the Romans in the sports of the amphitheater and our knight- ly English ancestors in the contests of the tournament. It is essentially an Anglo- Saxon sport; it embodies the Anglo-Saxon idea of a man-to-man contest, where the | rivals meet with no sword or rapier, but armed only with the weapons which God has given them. That is fair play; that means that the best man or the best men shall win. A man doesn’t need to understand a single rule of the game to enjoy the great annual contest at Springfield. The scene, the spectacle, is something that cannot be equaled or imitated. Any event that will call together the governors and ex- governors of half a dozen states, the beauty and wealth of the great eastern cities, thousands of the most learned and distin- guished men in the country, to say nothing of that irrepressible contingent, the under- graduates of a dozen colleges, is worth see- ing, whatever be the object that calls the crowd together. Thirty thousand cheering, shouting, sing- ing spectators, strong in their partisanship, stronger in their love of fair play. The Yale people take one side of the field and the friends of Harvard the other. The Harvard side is a blaze of crimson; the Yale is bathed in blue. Banners, gowns, hats, neckties, flowers, display the possessor’s favorite color. Some young ladies have brothers in one college and “friends” in the other. They sometimes wear the brothers’ ribbon, but always carry “Charlie's,” vio- lets or carnations, as the case may be. The Most Successtul Game. Saturday's game was the most successful in every way of any of the annual matches, The day was clear, the only drawback be- ing “a nipping and an eager air,” with a good. western Massachusetts breeze. The attendance was large, and the number of notables greater than ever before. The contest itself was the best exhibition of the Rugby game ever seen in America. There was no “slugging,” and Harvard had no cause this year to complain of Yale “muck- erism,” as it is termed in classical parlance. To be sure, Harvard lost, and Boston and Cambridge are today shrouded in gloom. But if a Yale victory could kill Harvard en- thusiasm, foot ball would have been dead long ago. Indeed, the survival of the in- terest in the sport among the Cambridge athletes well illustrates the proverb that | “Hope springs eternal in the human breast." For the fact is that Harvard has beaten Yale at foot ball only once in eighteen games, and that victory was scor- ed in Isvl. It is difficult to understand why Yale should be able to win year after year from her great rival. Harvard really has sev- eral advantages which Yale does not pos- sess. She has a larger body of students to select from, for one thing; again, a larger proportion of her new students are trained foot ball players than {is the case with Yale or any other college. She not only géts @ somewhat larger proportion of the players of the great preparatory schools of Exeter and Andover, but she gets some ex- cellent material from the interscholastic league, composed of the teams of the high schools of Boston, Cambridge and other neighboring cities. Why Harvard is Beaten. The fault is not in poverty of material, but in ignorance of the game. The New England schools do not add anything to Harvard's knowledge, because they get their ideas from the Cambridge University. Yale has found out how to play the game; Harvard is still experiment- ing. This fact is proved whenever a company of Harvard coaches get together. Each has some theory or project of his own. When the Yaie coachers meet there is practically no difference as to the way the game should be played, and all their energy is devoted to selecting a good team from their some- what crude material and teaching them to play the game that way. yhy,” said Capt. Ray Tompkins of the m of 1884, yesterday before the game, “Harvard doesn’t know the A, B, C of foot ball. She is making the ridiculous mistake of playing her game on paper. It works beautifully when you out like a game of checkers. nately for Harvard a foot ball field is quite a different thing from a checker board. The whole science of foot ball is not so complicated as Harvard seems to think. There is only one way to play the game,and that is the right way. Yale has discovered this secret and ali her coachers recognize aa Capt. Tompkins closed his statement with the prediction that Yale would surely win, adding that the only way for Harvard to get behind Yale’s goal was to go around the world and come up on the other side. His estimate, however, was not accep by the friends of the crimson. There was plenty of Harvard money in sight before the game, and the betting was even. In- aeed, the way the Cambridge boys have becked their team year after year savors of the heroic. They do it on principle, and also because they think every year that they cre going to win. There seems to be some method in the reports that rule be- fore the game. For a week before each an- nual contest rumor says that the Yale team is an aggregation of cripples; that they never were any good, and at the last moment they have gone to pieces entirely. From Harvard come reports of the most roseate hue. The crimson never had such valiant defenders, and the Boston papers are filled with their pictures and hints of “the flying wedges,” Deland tricks and such triumphs of strategy that it is easy to believe that while the entire Yale team {s looking for the ball in the bottom of a scrimmage a Harvard half back will step out and score a touch-down. Yale Had the Wind. Harvard never went to battle so full of surprising m@neuvers to spring on the wearers of the blue as this year. But in reality the contest was fought on very simple principles. Capt. Hinkey of Yale won the toss and chose the side with the strong wind in his favor. He then in- structed Butterworth, the veteran full back, to kick the ball down the field when- | ever he got the chance. The result was that whenever Yale had a chance at the ball it went sailing down the fleld before the wind, and Harvard had to push it back by the hardest kind of work. In doing this they exhibited all their new tricks, and though neither side scored in the first half, the Harvard men were weary with chasing the ball down the field and pushing it back again, and the Yale men had learned ull their opponents’ new tricks. The second half opened with a bold push by the Yale men. The wind had gone down, so that Capt. Hinkey’s men did not suffer from that, though they had changed to the other side. Yale dropped all artifice or at- theorize it | But unfortu- & tempts at it, and charged Harvard's center with the true Yale vim and determination to win. Again and again they assailed Harvard's line and every time they made gains. The crimson-coated giants on the other side rec- ognized in the ferocity of the onset that it was now or never with the blue, but they could not hold them, and in just ten min- utes Butterworth for Yale scored a touch- down and Hickok kicked the goal. That won the game, for Harvard was only able to keep her opponents from adding to the score during the remainder of the battle. During the first half Harvard giade gains amounting to 209 yards; Yale, 22s 1-2 yards; but of those 2101-2 yards represented the gain on high kicks with the wind. In the second half Marvard gained 205 yards and Yale 2471-2 yards. In this half Harvard gained 125 yards by kicks and Yale 31 yards by kicks. In the second half Harvard gained 22-5 yards on each rush and Yale 31-3 yards on each rush. Thus the crimson can gain some consolation from the fact that the offensive rushing of Har- vard was really superior to Yale’s in the first half and not much inferior to Yale's in the second. The fact is, Yale let Harvard do the rushing in the first half and tire themselves out and in the second, while they were themselves fresh from the brief rest, concentrated all their strength in a supreme -effort and by strong, sharp work won the game. —— pene CONGRESSMAN O°NEILL’S DEATH. The Philadelphia Representative Had Served for Twenty-Eight Years. Charles O'Neill, for twenty-eight years a member of Congress from the second dis- trict of Pennsylvania, and “Father of the House,” died Saturday afternoon at his res- idence, 1408 South Penn square, Philadel- phia, after a protracted illness, Consump- tion of the lungs was the direct cause of death, although the end was hastened by a cemplication of other diseases. When Congress was summoned in extra session Mr. O'Neill, though not in good health, attended and stayed some time after the repeal bill had been passed. On August 28 he had a sharp attack of illness, and returned to his home in Philadelphia. A consultation of physicians was held, and it was decided that there was no hope for him. His death was to be a matter of months, however, and by proper care it was thought that his life might be prolonged a year. Mr. O'Neill, while he appreciated the fact that he was a very sick man, and that the weight of his seventy-two years was Strongly against him, did not anticipate a fatal termination of his iliness, and ex- pected to come back to Washington in the early part of October to vote on the repeal jot the federal election law. This he was unable to do, and the fact worried him. It had been his boast that \during his twenty-eight years of service he {had never been absent a day through sick- ness. Then, again, on November 7, he was extremely desirous of voting. The polling booth of his division was lo- cated on the City Hall pavement directly opposite his door, but the physicians per- emptorily forbade his leaving the house. In consideration for him it was proposed that the election board adjourn to his home long enough to receive his ballot, but the fear that such action might invalidate the |return prevented this step being taken. Saturday morning he arose and shaved himself. He remained down stairs until 3 o'clock, when he went up to his room to take a nap. His niece, Miss Orne, noticed that he breathed with more than difficulty, and had Dr, O'Neill summoned. P. B. O'Neill, the Congressman’s brother, now in his eightieth vear, was called, and }mith these three about his bedside the ven- erable statesman peacefully slept away the few remaining minutes of his life. The end was quiet and painless. Congressman O'Neill's Career. Congressman O'Neill was born at 4th and Spruce streets on March 21, 1821. He was graduated at Dickinson College in 1840, and studied law, being admitted to the bar three years later. His first political office was that of mem- ba of the house of representatives of Penn- sylvania in 1850. He served until 1853, when he was made a state senator. He went back to the house in 1860, leav- ing to take his seat as a member of the wational House of Representatives in the Thirty-eighth Congress. He was uniformly | re-elected until the Forty-second Congress, when he was defeated, as the independent ‘candidate, by John V. Creely. When the | Forty-third Congress convened, however, Mr. O'Neill was again a member, and has served continuously since that time. Through the deaths of Judge William D. | Kelley and Samuel J. Randall Mr. O'Neill succeeded to the honorable title of “father of the House.” It is a peculiar coincidence that all three men were members from the same state. Judge Kelley took his seat in the Thirty- seventh Congress, while Mr. Randall and Mr. O'Neill entered their national political career in the succeeeding House. Mr. Ran- dall served without interruption, however, while his colleague’s record had the one break. Z The dead Congressman was a bachelor | and lived with his elder brother and a niece |at the house on South Penn Square, He re- | sided there for over half a century. 200 = FELL DEAD IN A GRAVE. A Singular Tragedy in the Cemetery at Beaver, Pa. | There was a most singular occurrence at \the funeral of Mrs. William Shell, in the Beaver, Pa., cemetery yesterday. The grave was dug Saturday by Walter W. Fish, her stepfather. It was necessary, however, for |Fish to go to it yesterday in advance of the funeral to set the rough box in position. Just as the funeral procession arrived at |the cemetery, James Brotherton curiously looked into the grave and saw Mr. Fish lying in the rough box. Upon an investiga- tion it was discovered that Fish was dead. Undertaker Reno, who was on the hearse, was notified, and kept the mourners in the carriages in ignorance of what had oc- curred. Aided by the pall bearers, Fish’s remains were removed from the grave and |taken away. The funeral then proceeded without the wife or family knowing the father’s fate. Upon their return home they heres js gg ot eget facts. t the coroner’s inquest it was discov- |ered that Fish’s neck was broken. The — cepted theory is that Fish stumbled and fell into the open grave, fracturing his _—— column. Mr. Fish was sixty years | of age. ———— cee. Torpedoes for the New York. Reports from the torpedo station at New- port indicate that the larger part of the | battery of Whitehead torpedoes for the cruiser New York will be shipped to her at | the end of this week. As this is the first lot of Whitehead torpedoes to be issued to any vessel, pzeparation ts necessarily slow, for several pieces of apparatus used in the various departments of the work are re- ceiving their first practical tests. In the | filling of the wa> heads the turning down of | disks of wet guncotton on a lathe is a new line of work at the torpedo station, and one | that is not wholly safe, except in the ex- ercise of great care. Progress therefore in | it is necessarily slow. | —_———+-o+____ A Draftsman Wanted.

THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE DEFECTIVE Changes Made and Suggested in the Bureau of Animal Industry. WEATHER BUREAU IMPROVED, The Secretary of Agriculture in his an- nual report, made public today, gives the number of employes when he took charge as 2,497 and states that there are now on the pay roils only 1,994, a reduction of 503; and of the 1,904 he says that eleven are on duty in the office of the civil service com- mission, to which they were assigned by request of the commission. He compisins of the gross inequality in the compensation of the department employes, which has aa- ded to the difficulty of retrenchment. He has, however, during the first quarter of the fiscal year reduced expenditures in comparison with the corresponding quarter of iast year by over $56,000. He presents a table giving the appropriation for the cur- rent fiscal year and his estimates for the next year, showing a net saving in his es- timates over the appropriations for the current year of $369,656.04. The Classified Service. The classified service is pronounced to be defective, largely owing to the inequal- ities in compensation with reference to the services rendered. These inequalities he attributes largely to the appropriation acts making statutory positions for the clerical force. He argues that appropria- tions should be made in gross for the cleri- cal force, and that full discretion should be given to the head of the department in the matter of remuneration, affirming that “ there can be no good reason urged against the government of the United States se- curing efficient services in tae same mah- ner tat they are secured by the successful business interests of the country.” He States that only 87 of the employes in the classified service came in by certification by the civil service commission, while 647 persons have been covered into classified service of the department by presidential orders—li8 by President Arthur, 206 by President Cleveland in his former admin- istration, and 314 by President Harrison. He points out as an all too prevalent atid erroneous impression the notion that clerks in the classified service are “ ted.” “That this is not true,” he adds, “and that tenvre of office in any department upon industry, fidelity, and ought to be italicised in the dally routine of duties by those having authority.” Sec- retary Morton also suggests that the civil service commission should provide a > competitive examination for any empio; covered SS order whom head of the department may that upon failure to pass such an examina- tion such employe should be dropped from the rolls. Bureau of Animal Industry. _ The werk of the bureau of animal indus- try is reviewed in considerable detail, each one of its principal features being briefiy considered. The result of the Texas fever regulations is pronounced to be highly sat- isfactory; but to increase their efficienéy it is suggested that a penalty should at- tach for violation. of the department regd- laticns by railroad companies transporting infected cattle. The total number of im- port animals inspected the past year was 463,389, the total of export cattle inspected pete gs oid reduction has been ef- fected by vessel inspection in the percent- age of cattle losi at sea, the ratio being for the last year less than one-half of one per cent. The law at present does not provide for the inspection of horses imported into the country, and an amendment in this respect is suggested. As regards meat im- spection the microscopical bas been greatly reduced, the intention to confine it rigidly to products in for direct export to countries exacting the same. The microscopical inspection costs the country 6 1-2 per cent of the value of meat sold to countries demanding that in- spection. Careful comparison of meat ex- ports for 1893 with 1892 shows that micro- scopic inspection has not increased our foreign sales, and the Secretary thinks it does not pay. Further recommendations in the work of the bureau are for legislation the immediate destruction of any animal or carcass condemned by the United States in- spectors; for an extension of the work in regard to tuberculosis in co-operation with local authorities until danger to human life has been reduced to a minimum; and for a civil service examination for inspec- tors and assistant inspectors, with the re- quirement of a diploma from @ regular veterinary college. ‘The Weather Bureau. Of the weather bureau it is stated that the work has been carried on with improved efficiency and economy, a reduction in cost of maintenance of nearly 10 per cent being effected and estimates for the fiscal year being correspondingly reduced. A reof- ganization of the bureau has been partially effected, designed to modify expenses and magnify the value of the service to agri- culture, commerce, and the people at large. The attention of the force has been fixed more strongly than ever before upon the work of forecasting as a primary duty of the bureau te the public. Especial efforts have been made to improve the river-flood service, and to increase the efficiency of the storm-warning system on the great lakes. The wide and more immediate distribution of the weather maps is the subject of ear- nest effort which it is hoped will be success- ful. Full forecasts are now received at 1,622 stations, while nearly 5,000 places re- ceive them gratuitously, an increase of 1,000 during the past year, which it is hoped to further inc e in the near future by 1,500 or 2,000 without further expense to the government. A system of exchange with the department and the central meteoro- logical observatory of Mexico is announced on terms similar to those in operation with Canada, while the desirability of full tele- graphic reports from the Bahamas is em- phasized. Cone! ng Remarks. Concluding his report, Secretary Morton says “that there are in the United States more than 6,000,000 farms, upon which dwell more than 30,000,000 people, who fur- nish more than 74 per cent of the value of exports of this country. The department is, therefore, he argues, intended to be charged with responsibility and duties touching interests intimately affecting the life, property and happiness of the whole people. As no edifice, however symmetrical and perfect its superstructure, can endure except the foundations be solidly laid, so everybody knows that the successful per- petuation of the industrial activities of the ‘American people is based and possible only upon an intelligent and fecund agriculture.” Promises of improved service by the de- partment in the future and recommenda- tions of useful innovations relating to the work in detail are withheld in view of the indefinite character of the duties, forces and possibilities of the department."A year from this time, it is hoped, after consulta- tion with the congressional committees and other representative forces which are en- deavoring to educationally develop and de- fine duties for this department, that useful progress in the right paths may be truth- fully reported.” eet RE P.
