Kansas City, Mo. House. 105 West Ninth Street.
\Va811150ton, Dec. 8.—The annual
report of the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry shows that the total receipts for
the year ended .June 30, 1897, were
#430,378,167, and expenditures. $448,-
439,163, leaving a deficit of $18,052,454.
The receipts of tkc year, however, ex-
ceeded those for the year 1896, by
820,911,759.
The customs, it is shown, yielded
5176,554.120, and internal revenue
sources, #146,688,574. As compared
with 1896, this is an increase in the
customs of $16,532,374 and internal
-evenue, 84,342,721.
The secretary, at some length,
irgues the need of a reform in the
urrency, and in conclusion recom-
mends the enactment of legislation
establishing a department of the treas-
ury to be designated as the issue and
redemption division, in which is to be
ie posited $125,000,000 in gold, to be
used only for redemption purposes
ind all silver now held in the treas-
ury for redemption purposes, and also
ill silver bought under the act of
1890.
It is also recommended that provis-
on be made for the issue of refunding
loan ten-year 2% per cent bonds, pay
able in gold, in exchange for any part
or all of the outstanding loans of the
United States.
The secretary also recommends that
national banks be authorized with
minimum capital of $25,000 in places
having a population of 2,000 or less,
and that the rate of taxation on cir
culatlng notes secured by deposit of
bonds be reduced to one-half of 1 per
ccnt per annum; also that banks
be permitted to issue circulating notes
to the par value of refunding bonds
deposited by them in the treasury
and furth. r, that banks be allowed to
deposit as security with the treasury
greenbacks, treasury notes or silver
certificates to a total amount of 8200,
000,000, against which national bank
notes shall be issued to them to an
equal amount
lie also recommends that the guar-
anty of the government shall be ex-
tended to all circulating notes of the
banks whether Issued against depos-
ited security or against assets. To se-
cure the government against any loss,
f any, a tax of 2 per cent shall be
levied on unsecured circulation to cre-
ate a safety fund to be invested by the
comptroller in United States bonds.
KILLED IN A PRIZE FIGHT.
Jimmy Harry of Chicago Ulvei Croot of
England Death mown In London
London, Dec. 8.—Walter Croot of
Newcastle, England, who was de-
feated for the bantam weight cham-
pionship of the world at the National
Sporting club last night, by Jimmy
Harry of Chicago, aied this morning
from the injuries which he received.
The knockout blows consisted of a
severe punch over the heart and then
a crushing right liander on the jaw.
Croot remained unconscious so long
that medical assistance was called. It
was found that he had sustained a
severe concussion of the brain. He
never regained consciousness and ex-
pired at 9 o'clock this morning
Harry was arrested shortly after the
death of Croot and taken to the How
street police court.
SUPREME JUDGE A SUICIDE
Associate Justloe liuck or Koutana
Kills Himself Because of Slcknesi.
Hki.kna, Mont., Dec. 8.—Judge Hor-
ace R. Buck, associate justice of the
supreme court of Montana, spent last
evening with a party of friends at
neighbor's house, seeming very cheer-
ful. After chatting for awhile with
his family he went to his room, and
soon afterwards a shot was heard. His
wife ran up stairs and found him lying
on the floor dead with a bullet hole
through the right eye.
The judge had been breaking clown
in health for some time, and it is be-
lieved he was seized with a sudden
impulse to end his troubles. He was
44 years of age, a native of Vicksburg,
Miss., and a graduate of Yale. He
came to Montana in 1879.
WAR OF WORDS IS ON.
House Watte* No Time In Beginning
the Debate.
Washington, Dec. 8.—The session of
the House yesterday, though it lasted
but two hours, witnessed a very lively
skirmish over the question of dis-
tributing the President's message to
the various committees clothed with
jurisdiction over the subjects dealt
with. The conflict of authority came
between the ways and means com-
mittee, and the banking and currency
ommittee. The battle ruged all along
the line.
During the debate, General Gros-
veuor, of Ohio, tired the first gun
against the civil service law, and this
also brought the friends and enemies
of that measure into action. Mr.
Johnson, of Indiana, in a ringing
warning, declared that If a bill to
eraasculute the civil service law were
passed, it would meet the presidential
veto.
Eventually Mr. lllhgley, in defer-
ence to the opposition of the members
of the banking and currency commit-
tee, agreed to a modification of the
order of distribution so as to send to
the ways and means committee all
matters relating to the "revenues, the
bonded debt of the country and the
treaties affecting the revenues."
The resolution was then adopted.
After the session Chairman Walker
claimed he had won a decisive victory
and that his committee, under the or-
der, would have jurisdiction of a
measure to, as he expressed it, "eon-
vert the greenbacks into gold certiti
cates." But members of the ways and
means committee insisted that the
change of verbiage in the order would
not affect their jurisdiction, and that
a measure such as the President sug
gested, if introduced in the House,
would be referred by the speaker to
their committee.
A MOST GRAPHIC STORY.
It is Taken Direct from Real Life
MURDER AT WICHITA
Mrs. Underwood Killed While Walking
With Her Husband.
Wichita, Kan., Dec. 8.—Last night
Mrs. Alice underwood, wife of T. C.
Underwood, an employe of the Fourth
National bank, was shot in the head
with a shotgun by Thomas Clark, for-
merly a trusted employe of the Shaw
wholesale music house.
Mrs. Underwood was walking along
Mead avenue, holding the arm of her
husband. Clark followed them along
the street for some distance,then going
out across the avenue to the opposite
side he dropped in ahead of Underwood
and his wife and walking down an
alley ten or fifteen steps he waited till
the couplc passed, when he raised
the gun and fired both barrels at
Mrs. Underwood's head. He stood on
the right of the couple as they walked
north and probably directed his shot
so that it would kill tho woman with-
out hitting her husband. No reason
is given for the trouble. The affair is
a mystery, as none of the parties will
talk.

A Rhode Island Man Makes a Long
Trip Because Unable to Hell Goods.
Westerly, K. I., Dec. 8.—Russell
Avery has arrived here, having come
overland all the way from Kansas in
prairie schooner. The start was
made August 25. He was alone and
came through St. Joseph, Mo., Spring-
field, III., and Columbus, Ohio, across
'ennsylvania, through the lower por-
tion of New York state and ucross
Connecticut to Westerly. He calculated
that he has traveled 2,000 miles.
Avery went to Kansas from West-
erly in 1882 and came back in the way
he did becausc he could not sell his
goods there and raise enough money
for railroad fares for both himself
and wife. The latter had been in
in Westerly for several weeks.

Kansas presented to the House yester-
day the bill to abolish Indian govern-
ment among the five tribes. It will

stantly recurring scandals of the Ter-
ritory.

A Charming New England Lady
tells her Experience
both Abroad and in
America.
The unwritten romances of life are
more wonderful and far more interest-
ing than the most vivid works of fic-
tion. The one we are about to relate
occured in real life, and is both inter-
esting and instructive.
Mrs Jennie Ray formerly lived in
Manchester, N. H. Her home was
pleasant, her surroundings comfort-
able. In the year 1860 she visited
England, and while in that country
began to experience strange sensations
At first she attributed them to change
of climate, but they continued and in-
creased, until finally, like many
another woman, she became utterl?
discouraged.
It was while in this condition that
Mrs. Ray returned to America and her
h3ine. Thousands of women who
read this story can appreciate the con-
dition in which Mrs. Ray then was and
sympathise with her suffering. Two
prominent physicians were called and
endeavored to do all in their power
for her relief. In spite, however, of
their skill, Mrs. Ray grew weaker and
more depressed, while the agony she
endured seemed to incresse. It >vas
at this time that a noted physician
who was called declared Mrs. Ray was
suffering from cancer, said there was
no help and told her friends she could
not live more than a week at the
farthest.
And here comes the interesting part
of the story, which we will endeavor
to tell in Mrs. Ray's own words. She
said:
"Unknown to all these physicians,
I had beed using a preparation of
which I had heard much. I didn't tell
the physicians because I feared they
would ridicule me, and perhaps order
its discontinuance. During all the
while that the physicians were attend
ing me the preparation was steadily
and faithfully doing its own work in its
own wsy, and I had faith in its power.
At last the doctor said their was no
use of his coming, for he could do me
no good. I had suffered so much that
I was quite willing to die, but it seems
I was nesrer relief than I knew. One
week from the day the doctor last
called a false growth, as large as a
coffee cup, and which looked as
though it had been very large, left
me. I sent for a doctor, and he de
clared it was a fibroid tumor, but said
he had never known one to come
away of itself before. I immediately
began to gain health and strength,
and I unhesitatingly declare that my
rescue from death was due solely to
the marvelous effects of Warner's Safe
Cure, .which was the remedy I took
unknown to the physicians, and
which certainly rescued me from the
grave. It is my firm belief that many
ladles who are said to die of cancer of
the womb are cases like mine, and if
they could be induced to use Warner's
Safe Cure, they, like me, might be
saved."
The above graphic acoount is per
feetly true in every respect. It is ssid
that "truth is stranger than fiction,"
and when the thousands of suffering,
helpless womem who are upon the
road which physicians say leads only
to death, consider the story as above
given, there is reason for hope and
1ov, even although they may be now
in the depths of despondency and mis-
ery. To such ladies the above truth
ful account is willingly given.

CANTON, Ohio, Dec. 8.—Once more
the children of Nancv Allison McKln-

and the reunion is complete. The
President and Mrs. McKinley arrived
yesterday to find the aged mother
still living.
As Mr. McKinley entered the
sick room, accompanied by his wife
and Miss Mabel McKinley, Miss Helen,
sister of the president, said: "Mother,
here is William and Ida."
The president knelt and kissed his
mother tenderly and reverently. As he
did so she put her right arm about his
neck and signified that she knew him.
She also recognized the president'
wife and readied her hand toward her.

DENOUNCES THE MESSAGE
Says the Offer of Autonomy by Spain Is
a Bait, and 1 hat the Recognition
of the Insurgents by This C'ouu-
try Would Quickly Itrlug
the War to an End—Says
the Message Is Cruel.
Morile, Ala., Dec. 8.— Ex-Minister
to Spain Hannis Taylor gives the fol-
lowing concerning the President's
message in regard to Cuba:
"Putting aside the irrelevant matter
by which it is incumbered, the sub-
stance of the only recommendation
made by the executive to Congress
upon that subject is that this govern-
ment cannot venture to do anything
to put an end to the inhtunun strife
which, during the last three years,
has reduced the island almost to a
desert, because there is a prospect of
settlement between the coinhatauts
upon the basis of a so-called plan of
autonomy lately put forth by tho Sa-
gasta ministry. I believe Congress
should firmly and scornfully reject
such a policy of irresolution und non-
action, because the assumption upon
hlch it is founded is an empty illu-
sion.
"Sagasta has resorted to the unc on-
stitutional attempt to legislate by
royal decree. Knowing the nation is
against him, he does not dare to state
his proposals clearly upon the matter
in question, and it is certain that if
he should assert even his incomplete
scheme to the present cortes. it would
be either rejected entirely or 30
amended as to deprive it of all vital-
ity.
"In one particular the cabinets at
Washington and Madrid are in identi-
cally the same situation. Both are
striving with all the r might either to
defy or circumvent the national will
as embodied in their respective legis-
latures.
At the end of the throe years of
wholesale destruction, provoked by
Spain, through unprecedented political
and economic oppression that has
brosght death and famine to hundreds
of thousands, the Spanish crown at
last confesses the Cubans arc right
and their wrongs should now be re-
dressed by a generous and frontline
grant of home rule. When the pof-
fered scheme is examined, it is found
to be not only indefinite und illegal,
but absolutely wanting in sincerity
upon the two vital points at issuance.
Such proposal has been extorted by
the result of a struggle that has so
completely broken the. militarj' and
financial power of Spaia that a con-
quest of the island Is now hopeless.
And yet this heartless, selfish
message has not one word of encour-
agement or sympathy for this suffer-
ing people, now dying and starving by
thousands at our very doors. In it
they are contemptously denominated
as no better than their persecutors.
Fortunately for tho honor of this gen-
srous, Christian nation, this message,
with cold aud serene cynicism, ad-
mits that it does not represeut
the sentiments of the American
people as expressed by Congress
a year ago in the joint resolution, in
which both houses declared a state of
war did exist in Cuba, and that it
should be recognized by this govern-
ment Congress is politely told to at-
tend to its own business; that if the
recognition of belligerency shall be-
come necessary in the future, the
executive power will act without con-
gressional interference.
'It is generally understood that
this deliberate conspiracy to thwart
the will of the nation Is to be carried
out through an appeal to the speaker
of the House of Representatives, who
is expected to so manipulate its rules
as to prevent the passage of the pend-
ing belligerency resolution, which tho
Senate has already approved. in
•)ther words, the tyranny of the
peakership In the House is to be so
used in hehalf of Spanish tyranny in
Cuba as to prevent any expression
whatever of sympathy with or recog-
nition of the Cuban government.
At this last stage of the struggle,
there can hardly bo a doubt that if
belligerency should be recognized
within three months the insurgents
would be so dominant in tho island
that the war could shortly be ended
by the recognition of Cuban Inde-
pendence. If we scorn and spit upon
the Cubans until victory and inde-
pendence are won without aid or com-
fort from us, why should they not
turn to one or the other of the great
maritime powers that will then be only
too eager to supply all their wants and
to enter into the closest relations with
them?
Let the pending belligerency resolu-
tion be promptly passed by the House,
and Spain's power in Cuba will collapse
like a punctured balloon. For that
reason she is making a desperate fight
against it, with the aid of the present
administration.
"Only through the triumph of the
revolutionary government can per-
manent and lasting peace be estab-
lished in Cuba; only through a prompt
and decided expression of sympathy
with that government can we extri-
cate ourselves from a dilemma which
is fast growing into tne most short-
sighted and disgraceful episode in our
national history."

Count Schwerin Received by Haytlen
Oflh'lals and Satisfactory Assurances
Given as to Indemnity — Em-

No Trouble Likely.
Port au Prince, Hay ti, Dec. 8.—The
trouble between Germany and Haytl
vppears to be settled. The Havtien
government has saluted the German
'lag, and the foreigners who had
sought refuge on board ships in the
iarbor have returned to their homes.
It is understood that the question
il the indemnity demanded by Ger-
nany for the alleged Illegal arrest
md imprisonment of Herr Lueders
'ias been settled to the satisfaction of
Jermany, and that all the demands of
that country have been agreed to by
tho government of llayti, in face of
the display of force made by Germany
ind under tho threat of a bombard-
ment of tho defensive works of the
oort unless these demands were
agreed to within eight hours.
The first part of the settlement took
place at 6 o'clock last night, wheu the
liaytien fleet formally saluted the
Jerman flag from the flagship
:>f the fleet of llayti, the Crete
A. Pierrot, a small vessel armed
with a few guns of light caliber.
Admiral Kllick, the Haytlen comman-
der, had charge of the formal salute.
While the flag of the republic was
being* dipped to the standard of Ger-
many tho band of the Haytien navy
played a German national anthem and
'.he Haytlen flagship fired twentj^one
;?uns, which were answered by the
Jerman flagship, the Charlotte.
This morning Count Schwerin, the
Qcrman minister to Haytl, was for-
nally received by the liaytien ofli-
•jials, who assured the German author-
ities that summary justice would be
promptly meted out to those officials
ni llayti who caused tho estrange-
ment between tho republic and Ger-
many.
The ultimatnm. whose terms were
accepted in full imposes the foliow-
ng conditions: An indemnity of $30,-
300 to Herr Lueders; the return of
llerr Lueders to llayti under the
guarantee of the government; an
ofllcial expression to the German gov-
ernment cf the regret of the Haytien
government and the reception of
Comte Schwerin by President Tiresias
Simon Sam. Had the ultimatum not
been complied with the bombardment
would have commenced at 1 o'clock id
the afternoon.
Naturally there is a strong feeling
of resontmont agalust the government
m account of the hnmilletion in-
dicted upon tte country by Germany,
but it is not thought anything more
serious than a ministerial crisis will

Berlin, Dec. 8.—Emperor William,
talking over the trouble between Ger-
many and llayti over the Lueders in-
cident, and referring to the Ilaytlens,
is quoted as saying: "They are a con-

'noculated with French civilization.

manned by boys, will teach thein
