The Administration Will Have to Ask for Additional Taxation. No Specific Recommendations Likely to Be Made, but Only the Gen- eral Necessity Pointed Out. The administration has about abandoned all hope of being able to avold a petition to Congress for more revenue. For the past two months the President and Secretary of the Treasury, have been figuring out a way to escape the necessity of such an appeal and confine the recommenda- tions to financial legislation, arguing that the tariff legislation has noth- ing to do with the deficiency of the revenue. It is well understood that the desire of the President is that the proposition for in- creased taxation shall come from the re- publicans as a counter to the suggestion that the whole trouble can be cured by the retirement of greenbacks and firm estab- lishment of the gold standard, which Mr. Cieveiand would lay down, Need of Additional Taxation Confessed It has become apparent that the situation will not admit of the revenue question being ignored, and in connection wéth the con- tention that the trouble lies solely with the financial question, there will have to be a recommendation that more revenue be provided. It is expected that an effort will be made to prove that primarily the green- backs and silver are responsible for the falling off of the internal revenue and cus- toms receipts, but the need of additional taxation will have to be confessed. It will be contended that the falling off in the rev- enues from whisky and sugar, which was was due to hard times, h the overthrow of the the revenue would have been I ad business been normal and the gold standard fully established. Specific Recommendations. When it comes to the questio. of recom- mending a source of revenue, the members of the administration are seriously embar- rassed. They are afraid of internal revenue tax, and at the same time want to appear consistent in antag- ni to protection. The opinion is expr 1 that specific recommendations Will be avoided, ard that the necessity for more revenue will be pointed out, with the very general suggestion that it be provided in such a mannes as to be least burdensome to the consumers and not fall upon the nec- essaries of life. + —____- AFTER TWENTY YEARS’ WORK. Steam WIII Shortly Be Made in the Monadnock. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., October . Steam will be raised in the double turreted monitor Monadnock Wednesday or Thurs- j day, when tne vessel will be given a dock trial at Mare Island to test her machinery. ‘The warship will be entirely completed and ready to put into commission within a month. Only some minor parts of the gun mounts are now lacking, which are on the way from the east. ‘The Monadnock has been building for twenty years and more, her keel having been laid in 1874. The old Monadnock had done good work during thé rebellion, and Secretary Robeson, finding that it was im- possible to get appropriations for new ships, conceived the idea of having the Monad- nock and other old vessels rebuilt. The expense attached to this came out of the fund for repairs. The Monadnock was Put up in frame at Williamsburg, N. Y., and then taken apart and the plates ship- ped to Mare Island in a sailing vessel around the Hora. For years the plates lay exposed to the weather. The appropriations for “repairs” were small, and the work was delayed. Several times the plans had to be altered to conform with modern require- ments, but now it is declared that the Mon- adrock is one of the finest and most ef- ficient warships afloat. ‘The old Mopadnock was dismantled here and her timbers cut up into relics of former glory. ——— PHYSICIANS KEPT BUSY. Many Cases of Injury Taken to the Emergency Hospita The physicians at the Emergency Hos- pital were not given much opportunity to rest last night. About midnight John H. Welch and Geo. A. Bland, two colored men, ergaged in a difficulty at the armory of the Washington Cadet Corps, on O street Letween 7th and Sth streets northwest, and when the police succeeded in picking them asunder and Ambulance Surgeon Furlong reached the scene from the Emergency Hospital, Welch had sustained an incised wound of the forehead and Bland was moaning because of a lacerated wound of the scalp. On reaching the hospital Dr. Furlong closed the gap in Bland’s head with nine stitches, while only seven were re- quired to close the unnatural opening in Welch’s scalp. Welch resides at S14 21th nd Bland’s home is 1428 New Jer- Sev@tvenue. The pugnacious duo had just been dis- posed of when Frank Exum, a colored laborer, twenty-six years of age, was driven to the Emergency Hospital with his upper lip veritably torn to shreds. He managed to say that he had been hit by a brick which was thrown by some unknown person. Dr. Furlong made Exum as pre- sentable ag possible under the circum- stances, and he was then removed to his home, 16 Reeves court. ‘The next case of any Importance was the result of a runa which occurred about 7 o'clock this morning in the Smithsonian grounds, ucar 7th and B streets northwest.

The Regular hausted amd the Case Adjourned a Un¢im Tomorrow. a The trial of John,~alias Patsey Harris, a yeung colored man, for the murder of Mat- thew Spruell, also colored, on the 4th of last July, was commenced before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 1 this morning. The regular panel of twenty-six men was exhausted beforé a jury could be obtaine and the trial was adjourned until tomot row morning, the court directing that thir- ty-five talesmen be summoned to complete the jury. Story of the Killing. Harris, but twenty-six or twenty-seven years of age, lived on 3sth street, George- town, in a house where Spruell lived, the latter running a barber shop there. On the afternoon of the day in question, Harri: it is said, returned home in a slightly in- tcxicated condition. He and Spruell. it jalmed, had some words about the for- mer's wif. and Harris, it is also claimed picked up a pistol. Fearing trouble, his w fe tcok it away from him and threw it into the yard. 3 , ubsequently he found it, and he again approached Spruell. The latter ran out of the howse, Harris pursuing him, it is said, and Spruell running into a saloon on street, was followed by Harris. Spruell ra up the stairway of the house, and as he did so it is claimed that Harris fired at him ing him. But a_second later Harris again, and, as Spruell partly turned toward him, the bullet struck him in the abdomen. He fell, and then Harris threw away his pistol and ran. He was caught by a policeman almost immediately, and his victim was carried to the hospital, dying in a very short time. 4 The Theory of the Defenne. Messrs. Richard C. Thompson and Charles L. Frailey appeared today as counsel fur Harris, having been assigned to the case by the court, and it is understood that they will contend that Harris Is guilty of no graver offense’ than manslaughter, if, in- deed, guilty of any crime. It is also under- stood that they will contend that Spruell threatened Harris’ life with a razor just previous to the shooting, and that the fata shot was fired when Spruell had turned for the purpose of advancing upon Harris, and as evidence of that position they point to the fact that the deceased was struck in front by the bullet which killed him. Trying for a Jury. When the triaf was adjourned today but eleven men remained in the jury box, An- drew Renz and Fred’k M. Lewis were ex- cused by the court because of an opinion which they declared was formed from aper accounts of the killing, and h they thought could not be changed by evidence. Thos. A. Garner, Fred. A. Dyson, Harry W. Love, Henry H. Elliott and August Brethaur were excused because of conscientious scruples against capital punishment. Henry McGoens was chal- lerged by the government, and the defense challenged Peter D. Rank, Chas. T. Leach, Andrew Loffler, John W. Todd, Chas. F. Shelton, Peter G.:Grimes and Edgar F. Nelson. The eleven men left in the jury box, subject to thirteen challenges by the defense and four by the government, were: Jos. W. Hooper, Frank Wells, Thos. D. Waters, Jas. Harris, Jos. S. Haas, Casius M. Beck, C. E. Addison, Emanuel Kauf- man, Patrick Phillips, L. Willard Harmon and Wm. E. Cruitt District Attorney Birney represented the government, assisted by Mr. Chas. A Armes, and Mr. Birney stated that h thought the cage would be concluded Thurs- day afternoon. a DISTRICT GOVERNMENT Dixpos#l of Refuse. ‘The Conmissioners have long desired to citeet_a plan whereby the refuse of the city could be effectively disposed of. With this in view ‘hey recently asked the health cflicer to submit the estimate of an amount ired for a crematory, end the installa- of a service whereby the refuse of the Ss paper, old rags, etc. cen oway and destroyed. In necordance with these instructions Dr. Woodward has submitted an estimate for the crection of a crematory and a system of collection costing in the neighborhood of $20,00). The Commissioners, it is understood, baye 1n- corporated this {tem i : estimates to Congress, and will en have the money appropriated, as they consider the object a worthy one, and in ev ay adapted to the needs ef the city. —_—_—_ Wants to Shoe the President. A man who is on a novel mission reach- ed Washington today and is stopping at 1010 Ist street southeast. He is a Brock- ton, Mass., shoemaker named Harry J. Mooney, who left that city recently with the intention of visiting the governor of every state in the Union and making for each a pair of shoes. Mooney started with- x cnt any resources except a kit of shoe- maker's tools and a generous stock of in- genuity and determination. His plan as fixed upon is to visit the capital of every state, manufacture the footwear for the governors and return to Boston within twelve months. A certificate is to be se- cured from each person for whom shoes are made, in order that the statements of the traveler may be verified. Mooney reached Washington armed with a letter of introduction from the governor of Mary- land to President Cleveland, but as the chief magistrate is at present near Atlanta ihe wandering cobbler must continue his long journey ninus a certificate from Mr. Cleveland. — Oberlin Took the First.

Mareh: Last Week's Exports Showed a Big Tncrease. AN INFLUX OF FOREIGN CAPITAL The Coal Situation Looms Into Prominence. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ———— Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 22.—Opening prices this morning were about on a parity with lest night's closing figures, and held well under continued professional operations. London cables reported further depression in mining shares, but the intelligence, be- ing unaccompanied by panic symptoms, Was not seriously considered as a factor in lccal transactions. Tre most important development of the day was the reported increase of more than three millions in last week’s export trade. This fact, coupled with multiply- ing eviderces of an influx of foreign capi- tal, is sure to be an important element in estimating stock values in the near future. Any courageous attempt to advance prices on the current supply of speculative ma- terial would, without doubt, be substan- taly rewarded, as the preponderance of news is generally admitted. al situation has again taken on a aspect, rates showing an un- y toward improvement. certain that substantial be announced during the present week, and that subsequent addi- tions will be made from time to time dur- ing the balance of the season. The combi- nation of forces so mysteriously hinted at upon the reappearance of any activity in the coal shares is still in abeyance, but its accomplishment is still considered as be'ng among the desiravle probabilities. Operators active in the group of sellers, which yesterday depressed the price of Tennessee Coal and Iron, were among the most urgent buyers of these shares thi: morning, an advance of one per cent f lowing in consequence. A more careful examination of the com- pany’s earnings for last month was in a great measure responsible for the change in sentiment. The lull in the iron trade has not extended to this property, and a able business is seemingly assured. Sugar sold down from a steady opening on the revival of arguments based on the continued withholding of inside support. The trading of the last hour was dull and void of significance. The announcement that the officials of Delaware and Hudson bad advance: coal point yet runner of a general advance all along the line. ————— AL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest uad the closing prices cf the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New Ycrk stock exchange.
