25, 18 BOSS STOUT IN EVIDENCE Buing the fecretary of the Treasury for Rescinding a Oontract, CLAIMS HE LOST MANY THOUSAND Bantes Sionx Indians Ask to Have Thelr Clatm to Money Held by the Gove it for Thelr Tribe Settled at Once. ernm WASHINGTON BUREAU ( 107 F Sireet, N. W. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, Senator Allen tod introduced a bill au- thorizing and directing the secretary of the interior to examine the claim of a firm con posal of W. H. B. Stout, Cyrus J. Hall and Isanc 8. Bangs and determine any balance that may be justly due to said claimants for loss and damage occasioned by the recision of their contract with the United States for furnish granite for the library of con- gress In this city, or arising under eaid con tract made April 21, 1888, and rescinded in October of the same year. w H. B. Stout, famil “‘Doss’ Stout, was forme a resident Lincoln and well known in the state of 3 braska. Stout has entered suit against the gecretary of the treasury to obtain damages amounting t ,000. The contract for sup- plylng_ granite for the congressional library was awarded to Stout's firm and he had al ready made arrangements for carrying out the provisions, when, owing to a change of plans, the contract was aunulled, thereby causing Stout a loss for which he now seeks a redress in the courts. Senator Allen also introduced a bill appro- priating $27,000 to pay the Santes Sloux Indians in Knox county, Nebraska, for lands, unpaid annuities and money forfited on ac. ount of the participation of a number of the Sloux_ tribe in the Minnesota war of and to enable the secretary of the interior to equalize the amount of their land holding with the of others of the Sioux tribe under the agreement with the Sioux Indians in 1889. In introducing the bill the senator presented a voluminous petition adopted by the cluncil of the ntee Sloux, asking that legislation be enacted for their relief MUST THE BE rly known as of PXERCISE MORE CARE. In response to a request from Congress- man Dave Mercer, that the Postoffice depart- ment provide better mall facilities for the complaining residents of Wcod River, the department sent a communication to Mr. Mercer stating that it is the ruling of the Postoffice department that hereafter in case where railroad trains have mail for a_ sta- tion after the postoffice been closed for the day the mail must be delivered by the road on the morning following at that par- ticular office, instead of carrying the sacks of mail along on the route and then sending them back at a later hour as heretofore. Mr, Mercer is informed that the department will Tequire obeyance to this order, and that the citizens of Wood River will have no reason to complain in the future. Harry F. Downs, at present a resident of Massachusetts, but formerly of Lincoln, and for a long time prominently identified’ with the Nebraska Stato Bureau of Statistics, is a candidate for appointment as consut at' Har- pool, Turkey. Downs is highly recommended for this position by the American Board of Foreign Missions on acount of his familiarity with the Armenian question. It fs probable also that Nebraska's congressional delegation will recommend the appointment of Downs. AS TO ATKINSON'S POSTMASTER. The commission of Helmquist, who was nominated by the president for the position of postmaster at Atkinson, has not yet been issued by the Postoffice department. Helm- quist’s bond has been received and s now on file in the department, but the issuance of his commission has been delayed to enable the postmaster general and the president to reconsider the case. No reason is given for such a holdup, but it was stated at the de- partment this afternoon that the case is now being considered and will be decided within a short time. Miles Seentmeyer is a candidate for the postmastership at Schuyler and several mem- ber of the Nebraska delegation have re- colved requests to give their endorsements for his appointment. J. S.

The senator urged, however, that this great project was superior to considerations of locality, as the opening of the canal would be a national achieve- ment ranking with the greatest events in the history of the country. During a lull in the debate Mr. Jarvis of North Carolina presented the creden- tals of his colleague, Mr. Pritchard, who had been chosen by the North Carolina legislature for the unexpired term of - the Iate Senator Vance.

Few men are better known in Missourd than Deputy Circuit Clork J. A. Long of Putnam county, a pleture of’ whom is above printed, and no one is more highly respected. No ordinary medicine could effect a cure like the one in his case, and his experience has made a great impression throughout Mis- sour “When T began using Paine’s celery com- pound,” he writes, "I was suffering from in- digestion and muscular rheumatism, and my hands and feet had a feeling of numbness. 1 had to use a carthartic all the time. But since using Paine’s celery compound that has ceased, and now I am better than I have been for a’'long time.

B THE ARNOLD CHEMICAL €O, REVENUES ARE ENCOURAGING Treasury Department Estimates Receipts Wil £oon Equal Expenditures, INCOME T/X GREATER THAN SUPPOSED Stock of ¥reo Sugar About Exhausted sud Revenue Will Soon Commence from that Source—No Need for Ad- ditionnl Taxation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—An encouraging report of the prospects of an increase of government revenues Is given by Representa- tive McMillin of Tennessee as the result of a long talk with Secretary Carlisle, His state- ment is the first authentic information of the administration’s view of the outlook and shows the recelpts from the income tax will greatly exceed the estimates by the depart- ment. Mr. McMillin is chairman of the sub- committee of ways and means to which the bill to double the tax on beer was referred, and he called on the secrelary to ask his opinion of the necessity for such a tax. When asked about the bill, he said: “Our committee has not yet acted on the measure. I spent a good portion of the day in confereuce with Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller concerning the revenus and the necessit, for an Increase of the revenue, of course, relate our conversation, retary, I may say, however, is couraged by the increase of re month. He does not think th deficiency of revenue will continue a great while. Mr. Miller has had an estimate made by the col lectors of internal revenve as to the num- ber of persons and corporations who pay an income tax, from which it there will be much more collected than the department estimated when the tax was under consideration. The revenues are pick- ing up. During this fiscal year we have col lected from internal revenue sources $8,000, 000 more than during the corresponding pe- riod of last year. The sugar tax has yielded but little revenue yet, because of tho large stocks of free sugar on hand when the tar- I law went into effect. But from that source we will from now recelve heavy revenues, “In answer to your first question, T would say I presume it will not be our policy to impose any additional tax on any article un less we need additional revenue. should need more, it will be the part of pol- lcy and wisdom to raise it by taxation rather than by increasing our bonded indeb! - ness. What should be taxed additionally in the event of need for further taxes & question for the committee to determine.'

The internal revenue depart- ment, computing by the census and other re- turns, only estimated that there would be 85,000 individual income taxpayers in the country. It is true this number will em brace both corporations and individuals. It looks as though the worst of the trouble from depleted revenue was over.' GOLY COIN AND CERTIFICATES. Sccrotury Carlisle's Replies on Some Per- tinont Currency L'oints, WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The bill Intro- duced by Mr. Coombs to retire gold certifi- cates recalls a statement made by Secretary Carlisle before the committee on appropria- tions. In reply to Mr. Coombs at the re- cent hearing Secretary Carlisle sald that {f no gold certificates were issued most of the gold represented by them would, in his opinion, be In the treasury, “If the holders of gold coin could not put it in the treasury and use that institution substantially as a warehouso,” he said. “‘tak- ing out the paper representative of it, the gold assets would come there and stay.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The details the amended financial plan which Messrs.. Springer and Cox and others of the bank- ing committee are discussing with Secre- tary Carlisle were learned today. They had a long conference with the secretary, and are of the opinion the modifications to his plan meet his sanction. The most radical of the new propositions, for which Mr. Cox stands sponsor, is that for the coinage of silver. It contemplates the can- cellation of the Sherman notes when re- ceived at the treasury, and the issue of silver certificates in denominations of §1, and $3, or of silver dollars, if the re- celvers prefer, To back these silver cer- tificates it is proposed to coin all the bul- lion in the treasury, which, including $5 000,000 seigniorage, amounts to $181,000,000, It Is calculated not more than $10,000,000 can be coined In a year. The changes In (he banking features of the plan provide that while the banks shall hold the ‘same reserve now required, one- half shall be in legal tender greenbacks or Sherman notes. Representative Cox ex- plains this arrangement would relieve the treasury of the ralds upon the gold made possible by the large volume of the out- standing notes, since it would dispose of ,000 of notes by using them to form basis of banking, and $100,000,000 for in banks It 18 conceded that it ary to empower the sec low rate bonds to protect against large withdrawals of of the gold SEAL ¥ treasury ATERMINATION IN EARNEST.

ARBITBATION WAS THE SUBJECT, Membor of the Engiish Parliament Appears Beforo the Foreign Kelations Committee, WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The four house resolutions evoked by the recent Hawalian disturbances furnished food for an interest- ing half hour in the house committee on forclgn affairs today and a hardly less signif- cant discussion was inspired by the appear- ancs of Mr. Cremer, the British member of Parliament, who is here to forward the moye- ment for international arbitration. The Hawalian resolutions went Into the hands of a subcommittee without action on them. When the committee met there were six republicans and four democrats present, and Mr. Hitt, the republican leader, pro- posed they proceed to consider the Hawaliian resolution. — The proposition was opposed by Mr. McCreary, the chairman of the com- mittee. Finally the motion to consider the bills at once ‘was put, and two democrats having arrived the result was a tie, s1x to six. Aflirmative—Hitt, Storer, Blair, Van Voorhis (New York), Draper and Harmer, republic ans; negative—McCreary, Tucker, Money, and Densmore, democrats, Thereupon the committee referred the resolu- tions to subcommittees Mr. Cremer addressed the committee in- formally in support of the memorial wlich ho recently presented to President Cleveland and was questioned concerning. the pe of the proposition, ete. One member asked him if such questions as the Bering sea dis- pute were contemplated in his plan and Mr Cremer sald they were. This led to a discussion of the Bering sea arbitration, in which Mr. Van Voorhis of New York inquired if it were not generally understood in Burop that England got the greatest benefits from that arrangement. Mr. Cremer said he could not speak upon that point. Mr. Hitt, by ing In mind the boundary dispute between British Guiana and Venezuela, asked if Eng- land was prepared to consent to an arbitra tion agreement with Venezuela and other small nations. Mr. Cremer said he was not authorized to answer that question Chickasaw Country Left Out, WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The house com mittee on territories today decided to indefi nitely postpone the further consideration of the Wheeler bill to admit as a state the ter- ritory of Oklahoma with & portion of the Chickasaw country attached.
