Carmack, Gaines and Sims, Democrats of Tennessee spoke briefly in favor of re- t enchment 1n pension expenditures, Tiese remarks drew an important state- \ went from Dingley regarding the prospec- live revenues snd expeaditures for thie en- suing fiscal year. Preliminary to the statement Dingley gave a new interpreta- iion to the estimated increaze in pension expenditures, contendine that the maxi- | mum was reached in 1893, when the pen- | sion payments reach $159.000,000. In 1891 | tirev fe'l to $141.000.000; in 1895 $i41.000,- | | | | C00: in 1896, $139.000,0 0, and 1n 1897, $141.- 000,070, i the expe cditures for pensions during thenex. ftiscal year rg(i:xled_b;su&‘ 0,000 as has been estimated the increase, Dingley said, would not be due to new legislation, but to more rapid administra- tion of the present laws, It would, there- 1 | deticit last vear irom | tended that in equity that sum should be | that amouat ($10,000,000) for the coming | $25,000,000 in Nov-mber to $27,000,000 in | meneral debate with a h { (R.) of North Carolina made an argument | law whicti set the galler.es in a roar. | of negotiations. | citizens should have the same rights as { British suvjects. |ing for the departure and return of Chi- o laborers ceriificates of regi-tration | The | | Treasury, who held that the Chinaman | bad no right to return shouid he leave the SECRETARY GAGES | the Secretary wonld determine to do.

The question as to the revenues and ex- penditures for the next fiscal year, pro- ceeded Dingley, was a practical one whi Concress had to face, Tne statement of the Secretary of the Treasury, he said, bad caused much mi:apprenension, owing to the fact that under a new provision of law he had veen obliged to inciude in the estimates o expenditures $73,000,000 for public works, wiich neither be nor the Secretary of War nor uny other well-in- formea “person believed wou'd be ex- penaed. Counting this, the estimated de- it, he said, wouid be $21,000,000. He iolated no confidence wuen he said that the Secretary of the Treasury and the next year wouid exceed tures. Dingley =aid he took it for granted that Congress would exercise reasonable econ- omy. The estimated deficit for *he pres- ent year, not counting the money obtained and to be obtained trom Pacific railroads, 28,000,000. The anticipatory importa- tions had, Dingley argued piaced in the treasury before July 1 $38 000,000. Those importatio hai reduced the 56,000,000 to $18 000, - 000, inasmuch as the importations were for consumption this year. Dingley con- the expend:- properly charged to the receiptsof the current year. If they were so charged, instead o a deficit, there would be & sur- plus this year of $10,000,000. Dingley figured out a surplus ot exactly fiscal year. He described the stea iy mau- nerin which the revenues hud been in- creasing at the rate of one or two miilions a month. Althouzh December was gen- erally a bad month for importations, he said that if the increase for the first nine days of this month were continued the receipts this month would increase from December. When heconfidently predicted that tue effect of the anticipatory rev- enues would all be overcome during the fiscal year, and that afier May or June, the revenues_would exceed the ex- penditures, the Republican side broke out into repeated cheers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—A singular Chinese case has come to the attention of the Treasury Department. A former member of the Chinese firm to Hong Chung & Co., merchants in New York, now desires to visit China and later re- turn to this country. As a merchant he was not required to | register under the act of 1893, but, meet- ing with Lusiness reverses, he i1s now com- pelled to perform manual labor. Under the regulations made pursuant of the pro- ions of our treaty with China provid- n must be furnished in each instance. n:atier was referred to the Solicitor of the country. Another question involved in the case, but not vet passed upon, is whether the Chinaman is legall~ in *his country. FINANCLAL PLAKS They Will B2 Embodied in Bills for the Consideration of Congress. Sublscts to Ba Segregated and Submitted to ths D.fferent Committees. Special Dispatch to THE CarLL CavrL OrricE, R1Gs Bousg,) WasHINGTON, Dec. 10. It was stated in reliabie quarters about the House of Representatives to-day that Secretary Gage bad made known his pur- pose not to embody his financial views in one comprehensive bill, but to cover special subjects in a number of special bills, some of which wou!d go before the House Committee on Banking and Cur- reucy and others before the Committee on Ways and Means. The Banking and Currency Committee had formally invited the Secretary to pre- sent a bill coveringall the phases of finan- cial reform suggested in his recent reccmmendation to Congress, and the de- sire of muembers of the commitiee was to treat the subject as an entirety. For that reason there wus considersbie comment when it was stated that Mr. Gage would divide the subject into several bills, some of which would go before the Ways and Means Committee, When Mr. Hill was asked as to the re- port he said that he could not say what iatter had received au invitation of the Committee on Banking and Currency with much courtesy and had said he would appear befors the committee at an eeriy dav. While Mr. Gage did not out- line what he would do as to framing one or more bills, yet the impression of Mr. Hill was that the Secretary had under consideration bills of several phases,of financial reform. If the Secretary con- cludes to adopt this plan it is =aid that the bills on refunding the public debt and placing a tax on circulation will go to the Ways and Means Committee, while bills for the establishment of small banks in rural communities, aliowing circulation up to the par value of bonds deposited and other phases airectly connected with the banking business will go to the Com- mittee on Banking and Currency.

In Fact a Warship Com- mander Was Discourteous to the Diplomats. MINISTER POWELL'S VAIN PROTEST. Americans Refused to Go Aboard the Vessels and Souzht Refugs In the Legation. Coprright, 1897, by James Gordon Bennett. PORT AU PRINCE, Harrr, Dec. 10.— On the reference of the matter to Berlin, the Haytian Government had a strong hope that the Lueders question would be diplomatically settled through their Charge d’Affaires. They offered to submit the whole matter to arbitration, propos- ing England, France, the United States, the Helvetian Republic and Sweden. As this was refused, another proposition was made allowing Germany to select the countries. The German Foreign Minister replied that his Government did not {n- tend to allow any foreign nation to inter- fere in the matter, and that they would punish the black republic. Although rumors of warships seen steaming in this direciion had reached Hayti, no intimation came of Germany’s intention till Monday at 6 o'clock, when the Charlott: and Stein steamed into this harbor, taking anchorage at 7 o’clock. It has since developed that the German Minister left here on the 29th ult and met the warships at Puerto Plata. Returning on board the Charlotte, the German Consul gave notice, on Sunday last, that German subjects only could go zboard the two German vessels lying in the harbor, and on Monday at 8 o’clock the German commander sent an ultima- tum to the Government that the ciiy would be bomburded un ess within twen- ty-four nours they paid $30,000 instead of the $20,000 previously demanded, made themselves responsible for Lueders’ future safety, allowed bim to return whenever he cho se, apolog:zed to the Emperor, and received the Chargze d’ Affaires again. The commander also sent a communi- cation to the diplomatic corps that he ine tened to bombard the city at 1 o’clock, and advised them to get their subjects to a place of safety. Minister Powell con- vened the diplomatic corps and they went aboard the Charlotte, requesting the Ger- man commander to allow a longer time, if not four days at least twenty-iour hours, in order to get their subjects away. Tne commander abruptly refused to give one minute over the time of the ultima- tum, but offered one of the German ves- se.s 10 put their respective subjeots on. Minister rowell said he would not allow American subjects to go aboard any ves- sel, but he would take them to the Ameri- can legation and there defend them— azainst all odds. The diplomatic corps then returned again to the palace and the President requested advice as to what he should do. He asked the American Min- ister if he could expect any encourage- ment frcm the United States. Minister Powell replies that he had no new instruc- tion- from his Government, and that Hay- tians would have to act on their own re- sponsibility, but that he would not wit- ness their kumiliation, The commander stated that he wou'!d fire a warning gun at half-past 12 P. M., and the Government decided to give way. At hali-past 12 p. M. a white flag was hoisted and at 4 o’clock they sent the money and an apology, and the German Minister was received with a salute. No foreign warskips were in the harbor at the time of the arrival of the Germans, the United States cruiser Marblehed ar- riving at 7 P. M. yesterday. On the Ger- mans preparing for action there was in- tense excitement among the Haytians, who prepared for the fray and threatened the lifeof every white. The foreigners embarked on different vessels and the American colony took refuge at the lega- tion. The decision of the Government excited the bitterest feeling among the Haytians, who blame the Government for the humiliation. Two attempts to over- throw the Government were frustrated by the military police. The city is uuder meartial law and the Ministry is afraid to hold a public audience. Serious trouble is brewing. The diplomatic corps is indig- nant with ihe Germwan commander, who was high- handed and discourteous toroughout the entire interview. WOMAN BATTLES WITH A DEER Kills a Buck With a Club in the Mountains Near Salinas. Her Life Saved by a Dog After the Enraged Beast Had Struck Her Down. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SALINAS, Dec. 10 —The report comes from Reliz canyon in the mountains east of thiscity of an unarmed woman's en- counter with s deer. Mrs. Dixon, a resi- dent of that section, mounted her hurse and, with a dog following, started to visit some neighbors. On her way she sighted adeer and gave chase. The hunted ani- mal ran up the canvon and then, doubling on its tracks, crussed the road in front of the horse. The horse ‘took fright and, throwing the woman, ran away. The deer then attacked Mrs. Dixon, striking her with its fore feet and trying 10 hook her with iis horns. The dog began biting at the deer's legs and di- verted the animal's attention. Mrs, Dixon was thus given time to regain her feet. Picking up a large club, although her life was in danger, she attacked the deer, sir:king it over tue beud. Tue first vlow felled the buck, and by incessant blows she killed it. It proved to bea six- point buck, making it ten yearsold. Mrs. Dixon was badly cut, but will recover, READY 10 SLIDE NT [HE WATER To-Day Lightship No. 70 Will Be Launched at Portland. CEREMONY WILL BE SIMPLE. Commander Merrell’s Daugh- ter to Christen the Big Vessel. DESIGNED FOR DUTY OFF SAN FRANCISCO. Contract Calls for Her Comple- tlon by the 9th of Next Month. Special Dispatch 1o THE CALL PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 10.— United States lightship No. 70 will be launched from the ways of Wclff & Sewicker’s yard at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. The vessel has been ready for the water for some time, but water has not been ready for her. Recent rains, however, have swollen the river until now there is ample depth off the wavs. The ceremony of launching will be sim- ple. Miss Dorcas Merrell, daughter of Commander John P. Merrell, inspector of the Thirteenth Liguhthouse District, will break the bottle over the ship’s bows ana christen her Lightship No. 70. She has no other name, although the words “San Francisco Harbor.” the name of her sta- tion, will be painted on her sides in let- ters as tall as a man. Asthe launching of 80 larze a vessel is by no means a common spectacle in Portland, a big crowd will probably bs on hand, even thourh the rains descend and the floods come, which from present indications both are very likely to do. A number of workmen were employed to-day making the ship ready for her plunge. The cradle was completed, the ways cleared and the last work on the bottom of the vessel was finished. All that will remain_ to-morrew will be to knock out the shores, break the bottle and “let her slide.” The river is wide enough to give her plenty of room to lose her way, but a steamer will be waiting to receive her and catch her before the rapid current bears her down to the Morrison- street bridge. Lightship No. 70 is much nearer com- pletion than was her sister ship No. when ste wac launched at Steffens yard on May 8. All her dacks are in and all of her machinery except her main boiler. The subdivisions for use of officers and crew have been made below, and even the anchor swings from the port hawser hole. Electricians have been busy for several weeks putting in the two dynamos which will supply the lights at her mastheads and stringing the network of wires that are required to lignt the entire vessel. Carpenters, joiners, steam-fitters, painters and coppersmitks have also been busily at work and bave nearly finished their labors. After ber plunge the ship will be taken to the wharf at the rear of the machine- shop to receive her masts, boiler, smoke- stack and deck fittings. They are all nearly ready, and it wiil be but a very litiie while after the launching b:fore the ship is ready 10 steam to her post of duty off San Francisco harbor. She must be reaay for service by January 9. The contract price is $73,000. DR, SHITHS SLAVERS ARE FOUND GUILTY Kaple, the Leader of the Con- spirators, Will Pay the Death Penalty. Upapa, an Accomplice, Sentenced to Imprisonment for Three Years With Hard Labor. Correspondence of THE CALL HONOLULU, Hawam, Nov. 27.—The murderers cf Dr. Jarred Smith have been tried and convicted by a verdict of 9 to 3, which accordance with Hawaiian law is sufficient to inflict the death penalty. The law also provides that in cases of conviction for a capital crime forty-eignt hours must elapse between the verdict and the sentence. As the current term of the Circuit Court expires by limitation be- fore sentence can be passed upon Kapea for murder in the first degree, and Kaio for being an accessory bvefore tne fact, their sentences have been suspended. Upaps, convicted of being an accessory after the fact, was sentenced to-day to im- prisonment with flard labor for three years and to pay costa by way of a fine, Ratbburn was acquitied. A point is raised by certain lawyers that inasmuch as the Government declared that the 27ih should be the national holi- day (in lieu of the 28th), and that all Gov- ernment buildings should be closed, the term of the court had aiready ended with this curtailing of a day. As our courts are practical and admitof no dilatory pro- ceedings this trivial objection will be overruled and Kapea will receive his death sentence as promptly as possible and be execnted with dispatch. Tue jury was Hawaiian and half white of Hawaiian birth. The verdict has given satisfaction, except that the evidence was wholly cir- cumstantial, although of a strongly cor- roborative character. Kinney for the prosecution und Robertson and Rosa for the defenss added greatly to their legal reputations, for it was a long and hard fought case with continuous sessions day and nighi.

THE BARBER DECLARES HE IS INNOCENT. Contlnues to Weep Coplously Whenever the Demise of His Spouses Is Mentloned. Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL. NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—The police have as yet no direct evidence warranting the charze of murder against Charles Zanoli, the barber who has buried four wives, a mother-in-law, a daughter and an em- ploye, and has collected $6981 25 of in- surdnce upon their lives. Zanoli is still held simply for defrauding the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance Company. He will be arraigned beiore Magistrate Meade in Center-street Police Court to-morrow morning, and the magistrate will be asked to remand him to police headquariers. This will be at 10 o’clock, and at the same hour District Attorney Olcott will apply to the Justice of the Supreme Court for an order permitting the exhumation cf the body of Jennie Suhmer, Zanoli’s fourth and last wife, who died on August 9 las!, insured for $1600. District Attorney Olcott decided to ap- ply for this order after he had had a con- ference with Captain McClusky, chief of the detective bureau, Dr. J. Walter Lyman and Dr. James E. Harr The doctors were called 1n to attend Zapoli’s third and fourth wives respectively. From thestate- ments of the doctors Olcott conciuded that there are grave doubts whether the actual cause of death was that given in the cer- tificales signed by the doctors. Zanoli strenuously denies that heisa murderer, and at the mention of any of bis deceased wives he weeps copiously. During the day the police accumulated 8 good deal of testimony against Zanoli which they consider important. Captain McClusky, the chief of detectives, stated that he had discovered a barber who had seen Zanoli viving bis wite No. 2a dose of medicine. The n:xt day the woman died of cerebral hemorrbage. He also stated that Zanoli moved a shart time ago to an- | other locality in this city with the inten- tion of getting married again. The woman that Zinoli intended to make his wife advertised in the papers for a husband and had an appointment with Zanoli at his store yesterday evening. Sne kept the appointment and found that Zauoli was in jail. The police also claim that Zanoli tried to marry another woman recently. Zanoli told the police to-aay that his cnila, Lottie, on whose life he collected insurance, died from injuries on the head resuiting from a blow given to her by his second wife while in a fit of anger. Zanoli also stated that his second wife grieved =0 much over Lottie’s death that be believed it caused her own death. Zanoli has continued to cry ever since he has been locked up. BSeveral of the physicians who attended the wives of Zanoli made statements to Police Cavptaiu McClusky to-night. Dr. J. W. Lyman, who atienced Zanoli’'s third wife at the time of her death, tola Sergeant Morris that he was puzzied by some of the symptoms of the case; that he considered Zanoli’s conduct peculiar at the time. Dr. Lyman said be thought the woman died from apoplexy, but he never felt positive about the matter. Dr. C. E. Barton, one of the attending physicians on Jennie Suhmer, the fourth wife, who died August 8, 1897, said that he examined this woman just previous to ver initiation into the Order of United Friends. Zsnoli wanted a policy of $3000 on his own life and another policy of §3000 on the life of his fourth wife. On account of their apparent poverty, the doctor refused to pass Zanoii for thatamount, but agreed to allow both these persons to take out a policy for $1000. Dr. Barton considered some of the symptoms attendant upon the illness of Mrs. Zanoli, or Suhmer, as she was known, as suspicious, but Dr. Harris, | who had bzen called into the case, told him that the woman died of neart failure. Dr. Harris corroborated many of the statements made by Dr. Barton. Dr. E. J. Sheeban, who attended Lena Zanoli, tne second wiie, who died Novemuver 26, 1895, said that he gave a certificate that death was caused by apoplexy. He uoticea noth- ing peculiar about the case at the time he was called in to prescribe for the woman. The bodies of several of the persons whose lives were insured in Zanoli's favor will ve exhumed.
