mend to cnn^r^ -s an increase in inter-
nal revenue taxation to make up the
, deficiency in the revenues. l\vo causes
operate to produce this indecision. In
the first place it is not known
whether the house of representatives,
with its large republican majority,
would be likely to pay much attention
to the recommendations of the treas-
ury officials without adding to such
a revenue bill as would be reported
provisions which the president would
not approve. Then the prospect for
increased receipts from internal rev-
enue is so promising that the govern-
ment may be earri • i on without
changing the present iaw.
The receipts from internal revenue
during th s month will double the re-
ceipt. for October, 1891, and will ex-
ceed those for October, 1 <93, while ti
constant increase month by month is
antieioated from now to the end of the

Complaint.
Pkrry, Ok., Oct. 25.—|Special.) F.
W. 1" arrar, cashier of the defunct
First State bank, was taken before
. Justice Cone this morning and gave
£">,000 bond. He was immediatlv re-
arrested and taken before Justice
Walker and a $2,500 bond was as-
sessed, which Farrar has not given
and is not likely to giye. Farrar has
been guarded by officers for about ten
days and it seems he will be compelled
to go to jail. The first bond is consid-
ered not good by the officers. The
grand jury, which sits here next
week, is expected to unearth many
sensations.

I In* Behring Sea Convention.
Wasiiim; row <
: was stated
officially yesterday that Hon. McKen-
pre
Sir Charles Tuppt
in the Canadian e;
nada, and
. minister of justice
>inet, will arrive in
Washington o.i Monday next to assist
in the Behring sea convention. The
meetings of the convention will be
held at the state department, Secre-
tary Olney representing the United
States, and Sir Lilian I'auncefote, the
British ambassador, representing her
majesty's government. The two mem-
bers of the Canadian cabinet will act
in an advisory capacity to Sir Julian.
This will assure a strong presentation
of the British position.
The issue involved is largely one of
fact and not of law. The Paris tribu-
nal held that th • Canadian sealers
captured in Behring sea had a right
to be there, and that they were enti-
tled to damages for the seizure. The
sealers claim over $1,000.000, but this
was sealed down to £472,000 by an
agreement between the late Secretary
Oreslmm and .sir Julian Pauncefote.
Congress refused to ratify the agree-
incut, and the coming convention will
seek to reach a fair mode of adjust-
ment. Under the Paris award sjtne
sum must be paid by the United States,
the only question involved is
ueh that payment should be.
Tiu rii linn struggle.
Nkw Yohk. ot. *i.- A Washington
special says: The friends of the admin-
istration are getting down to the very
bottom of the Cuban situation. They
are collecting the most exact and min-
ute information of all precedents bear-
ing on the recognition of belligerents.
Possibly, they are doing this for their
personal satisfaction, in order to be in
touch with the great question of the
day, but much more likely they are
gathering this important material in
order to aid and direct the administra-
tion in tho announcement of its policy,
which cannot much longer be deferred,
concerning tho Cuban struggle for
freedom.

Washington, Oct 25.—The special
train bearing tho presidential party
left Atlanta this morning at 2 o'clock
over the Southern railway. The train
was scheduled to leave at 1 o'clock,
but owing to delays was an hour late
in starting. The first stop was
made at Salisbury, N. C., at
11:15 a. m. A large aud enthusi-
astic crowd was in waiting and when
'he president made his appearance on
the platform of tho car, he wasehoered
repeatedly and shook hands with as
many as possible during the five min-
utes the train waited. Greensboro
was reached at 12:40 and then a stop,
though only of five minutes' duration,
gave opportunity for a large number of
people to greet the chief executive.
At Danville, Lynchburg and Char-
lottesville, Va., points which were
passed in the night on the downward
trip, stops of from five to ten minutes
were arranged for on the return.
The train is due at Washing-
ton about. 8:30 this evening. No
attempt was made to break the
record on speed, as the train is being
run for comfort uud safety, the party
being in no particular hurry and anx-

wish to see the president.

tion is the first made under the pres-
ent law, and is in compliance with au
amendment made in iS8~> to the act
providing for a census each tenth year,
beginning with and following 187 . In
101 counties the count shows 35,045
veterans. Assessors in Comanche,
Finney, Saline and Seward counties
failed to make an enumeration or re-
turn, but, applying tho satno percent-
age of soldiers, 2.62, to their last year's
population as is shown for tho remain-
der of the state this year there would
be iu Comanche, 45; Finney, 9.'; Saline,
458, and Seward, 21, or 616; these added
to the 35,015 actually enumerated in
tho other counties would make the
grand total 85,661.

Hun, Wood and \lr Act Strangely to
There are some queer things down
here, w rites a Texas correspondent of
the Fulton Democrat. For instance,
the best wood you can get will burn
out while you are mixing the dough
for your biscuits. There has not been
a night iu three mouths when one
, needed any covering All gloves,
shoes and other leathern articles will
soon mildew and be ruined if neg-
lected. One cannot keep bread and
cake in tin boxes, as they will thus
spoil in a day. It is the washerwom-
an's puradise, owing to the fine bleach-
ing qualities of Texan artesian water
and Texan sunshine. Stamps and en-
velopes stick together in the most ex-
asperating fashion in spite of every
precaution. A daily bath is not a lux-
ury, but a necessity; one living hero
[can understand why the ancient Pom-
peiians spent so much time in their
baths, The sun's heat is like a blast
from a hot furnace; it will blister the
tender flesh on one's shoulders in a
minute; and yet one can walk, work or
drive in this sunshine with impunity
jfrotn danger of sunstroke, and with far
jless discomfort than in tbe summer
fsunshine of t he north. One may take
a severe cold, and in a day it is gone.
The severest fevers usuaBy vanish In a

be thoroughly drenched in a rain, with-
out evil effects except to his clothing.

Ferries You Over "The Dap," and, Like thv
Sty* Boatman, (lets Your Oboliia First.
The shortest of all ferries, and one tho
ordinary New Yorker only stumbles
across through some untoward circum-
stance, is that at "The Gap," between
Cotnniuuipaw and Jersey City, says the
New York Herald.
Oo to Communipaw and then ask
some one how to get to Jersey ( ity, and
the chances are that you will be told to
return to New York and take another
ferry. But if your informant be a train-
man, particularly a Lehigh Valley man,
ho will tell you to risk your life by
crossing the tracks of a great railroad
system, walking two hundred yards
and finding the shortest of ferries.
There you will find a great wide row-
boat, a solemn visaged man and about
fifty yards of unbridged water. Tho
faro is two cents. He of the solemn
visage collects it before he leaves the
Communipaw side. lie does not row; ho
sculls and propels tho boat with a sin-
gle our from the stern. Sometimes ho
earns t hirty cents on one passage.
Be is a great admirer of the Penn-
sylvania railroad as an upright and ad-
mirable corporation. Some time ago it
was proposed to bridge the gap. Tho
Pennsylvania objected. But for that
were Charon's occupation gone.
So now he swears by the Pennsyl-
vania and at the Lehigh Valley, for the
employes of the last named railroad
have a ferry of their own.

Pari* Soon to Have an Affair Similar ti*

Authorities of Paris have under con-
sideration a proposition for a sort of
electric railway from the base to the
top of Montmartre (a hill in the city of
Paris which is to be quite similar to
the moving sidewalk which was exhib-
ited at the world's fair. The speed of

kilometers per hour, aud that of tho
other, which contains the seats, is to
bo six kilometers per hour; it is capa-
ble of seating 6,000 pass--tigers at one
time on 340 platforms, each of which
has two double redaction motors of
fifteen horse-power; the maximum pow^
er required is said to be l.'U) horse-power.
A Big Black Diamond.
The largest black diamond ever aeou
was lately shown to the academy of
sciences in Paris bj M. Moissau, a
French chemist. It weighed three
thousand and seventy-three carats.
This gigantic carbon was found by a
digger in July last in the diamond field
of Bahia. Its hardness is greater than
that of a brilliant, and for this reason
it has great industrial value. It pre-
sents a surface partly smooth and part
corrugated, and i.s exactly similar to
the particles of black diamonds pro-
duced by M. Mois.an in an electrical
furnace. The three largest of tho
species previously found weighed six
hundred and twenty, eight hundred
and ten and seventeen hundred carats,
and the latter was not free from flaws
