IMMIGRATION.
A Statement of the New Arrivals for
the Last Nine Months.
DEFICIT IN TilK REVENUE.
ludlcat Ions l'ulnt to a l.oaa of •45.000.0UU
by the hint of the Fiscal Year-A
Aloney-MHkliiR Conspiracy —
Army Trail«fern.
Washington, May 2.—A statement
has been prepared at the bureau of
immigration which shows the number
of immigrants which arrived in the
United States for the nine months
ended March 31, in each of the last
three years, to have l>cen as follows:
1H93, 2511,500; 1894, 218,648; 189.r>, 140,980.
The amount of mouef brought in by
immigrants during the past nine
months was S~,359,956. Of the arrivals
during the last nine months 21,564
came from Ireland, 21,100 from Ger-
many, 19,100 from Uussia proper, 10,-
125 from Italy, and 16,116 from En-
gland. Of those debarred from land-
ing, 1,071 were paupers or likely to be-
come so; 11 were shown to have been
convicts and 353 contract laborers. Of
those landed 19,002 could neither read
nor write. Of those who brought
money, Germany heads the list with
85.11,484. Irish immigrants brought
the next largest amount, 8317,501; En-
gland next with 8294,818. The Italians
brought over 819,712; the Swedes 8138,*
412; the Russians 8144,341 and the Hun-
garians 8103,004.
Deficit In tlie Ite veil ue.
Washington, May 2.—The treasury
receipts during the month ended yes-
terday have not met the expectations
of the ottlcials, and the Indications now
are that the deficit M the end of the
fiscal year will be little, if any, less
than $45,000,000. Ten days' receipts
amounted only to 8318,201, of which
$106,702 was from customs,8114,341 from
internal revenue and 837,158 from mis-
cellaneous sources. The receipts for
the month of April amount to 824,247,-
836, and the expenditures to 832,952,-
690, leaving a deficit for the month of
88,704,854 (cents omitted), anil for the
fiscal year to date, 845,247,000.
The receipts from internal revenue
show a falling off for April as com*
compared with the same month in 1894
of more than 8700,000. and a falling off
for the ten months of the fiscal year of
about 82,000,000. The pension payments
will amount to about 822,000,000, and
81,250,000 will be repaid on interest ac-
count.
A Money-Making Conspiracy.
Washington, May 2.—The secretary
of the treasury yesterday received
from Special Agents Johnston and
llenne, at lloise City, Ida., a report of
the result of their investigation in the
alleged frauds in connection with the
entry of Chinese into this country.
The report states that the investiga-
tion shows conclusively that there has
been for several years past an organ-
ized money-making conspiracy with a
view to manufacturing certificates
upon which Chinese laborers may be
enabled to visit China and return to
the United States as bona fide mer-
chants. In a majority of cases, the
so-called "merchants" were found to
be cooks and gardeners, employed in
or near Hoise City.
Transfer of Army Officials.
Washington, May 2.—The expected
important transfers arising out of the
recent army promotions in the higher
ranks were made yesterday by Secre-
tary Lamont. Maj.-Gen. Ruger has
been transferred from Chicago to
Washington for special duty with the
secretary of war; Maj.-Gen. Merritt,
from St. Paul to Chicago; Hrig.-Gen.
Hrooke, from Omaha to St l'aul; Hrig.-
Gen. Coppinger, to Omaha, relieving
Gen. Hrooke; Hrig.-Gen. Wheaton.from
San Antonio,Tex.,to Denver,in place of
Gen. McCook, retired, and Gen. Bliss to
San Antonio, Tex.
THE SILVER {JUKSTION.
Interest Taken In Comptroller Kckels'
C.'timing Speech at Detroit.
Washington, May 2.—The departure
this morning of Comptroller Eckels for
Detroit, where he expects to make a
speech at the opening of the new
chamber of commerce, will be the first
move made by the administration in
the ponding financial campaign. While
Mr. Eckels' address will be necessarily
of banquet brevity, it will be interest-
ing, especially because of its official
character, and because of the intense
interest which the comptroller is sup-
posed to take in the contest which
rages so hotly in his own state.
West Virginia Kal«l.
Huntington, W. Va., May 2.—The
revenue officers of this section have
just made a round-up of the moon-
shiners in Logan, Wyoming. McDowell
and Mercer counties. Within the past
two days they have landed over 100 men
and women. The prisoners will be tried
at the May terra of court, which begins
next week. It is expected the arrests
will stop the wholesale manufacture of
whisky, for which the government has
not been receiving a dollar's worth of
taxes. ___________
The I.edger Murder Case.
Gutiibik, Ok., May 2.--The prelimi-
nary examination of Will Knowles,
charged with complicity in the famous
Ledger murder, was held yesterday,
and Knowles successfully proved an
alibi. The examination of W. II.
Thorne, president of the big real estate
agency, and O. C. Seeley, a magazine
publisher, whose arrests caused a great
sensation, were being made to-day.
Oklahoma Fcorcd.
Hennessey, Ok.,May 2.—There was a
heavy rain here yesterday evening and
the ground was thoroughly soaked,
l'rospects are much brighter for wheat,
and the corn and oat crop is thought
to be insured. Rain fell over a terri-
tory of 60 miles in breadth. Farmers
and people generally are much encour-
aged.

An Important Decision Affertinc It Handed
Down by the Kansas Supreme Court.
Topkka, Kan., May 2. The supreme
court yesterday handed down decisions
In a number of important cases, among
them the ease of ,1. H. Watkins against
M. H. Glenn, involving the constitu-
tionality of the mortgage redemption
law. The decision of the district
court of Harper county, from which
an appeal was taken, was re-
versed. The court holds that
the law concerning the sale and re-
demption of real estate passed by the
legislature of 1893 does not apply to
mortgago contracts existing at or be-
fore its passage, and if the legislature
intended the act to apply to such eon-
tracts, it violated an important provi-
sion of the constitution of the United
States.
Another case decided is of interest to
old soldiers. It is to the effect that
when a veteran, who is very poor,
dies, his family may bury liiin and the
county shall stand the expense up to
850. The custom is for the county to
bury such unfortunates by contract
let to the lowest bidder, the same as
in cases of ordinary paupers. The
supreme court says that the law in-
tends that old soldiers shall have a
decent burial, and that the county
shall pay a moderate expense.

Fight at Newbern, Tenn., the Kesult of a
Nbwbkrn, Tenn., May 2. There has
been a general shooting affray between
the Fulghams and Townsends at this i
place. The row starteil over an old
feud existing two years. On last
Friday evening, Murray Fulghuin as-
saulted Avery Townsend with an ax-
handle, whereupon Townsend had a
warrant issued, charging Fulgham
with assault ami battery with intent
to kill. Young Fulghaui immediately
left town and went to Madison, but
was followed and brought back by his
father and Constable Towns to trial.
The case came up this afternoon and
Fulghatn was lined 850 and costs.
About 5 o'clock, the parties got to-
gether, words passed, pistols were
drawn and fired repeatedly, resulting
in the almost instant killing of R. W.
Townsend and his son Ileau regard,
and Abe and John Fulgham.

plies will exhaust the funds apportioned
for that purpose has led to a crisis which
is now at the acute stage. This is the
last day of grace that the contractors
who furnish supplies to the city au-
thorities have allowed for payment o!
their claims. They now threaten to
shut off supplies and thus virtually
force the city officials into acquiescence
by starving their charges iu the jail,
almshouse and hospitals.
Reports from the several institutions
show that none of them are in a posi-
tion to exist beyond a few days. The
county jail, especially, is iu a bad
plight. Acting Chief Dougherty said
that unless supplies were furnished to-
day I10 would be compelled to disband
the fire department, as both food aud
coal were exhausted.
An Outlaw's Skin Tanned.
Taooma, Wash., May 2.—The cuticle
of Tom blunck, the desperado who
held up the jailer at Seattle with a
wooden gun recently and was killed
by a posse after a desperate fight, has
been tanned and will be made into
pocket books. The people of Sumner
say it is an attempt to immortalize a
"red-handed murderer." They accuse
a physician of that place of having
charge of the tanning of tho human
skin. Five pocket books have been
made, so far as known.
St raw Hat* Will Itlne.
Ciiicaoo, May 2.—Prices on straw
hats and wall paper are slated for a
pronounced rise, according to a local
paper. Straw hats will be higher as a
result of China's war, the supply of
Asiatic braid being expected to fall
short.
