of the kingship and the presidency of
Apia and the appointment of a gov
ernor, with a legislative council con
sisting of three nominees of the inter

house.
Under this scheme, the governor
would have a veto over general and
municipal laws; the nominees would
be the departmental heads; consular,
diplomatic and judicial functions
would be abolished; revenue would be
raised by an Increase of duties and a
diminution of the poll tax, the juris

Ambassador White I'rjjes Action for
Protect ion of Property.
THE HAGUE. June 23. The Ameri
can demand for the protection of priv
ate property at sea has not yet been
presented to the peace conference.
Andrew D. White, head of the Ameri
can delegation, on Tuesday requested
the president of the conference, M de
Staal, to submit the question to the
conference, at the same time suggest
ing that the proper way to bring the
mattei up for discussion would be to
assemble a plenary conference, sub
mit the question and have it referred
to a committee for examination. M.
de Staal has not yet arrived at a de
cision, as the American proposal has
not been translated into French. It is
the general opinion that the delegates
of the great powers are absolutely op
posed to raising the question, arguing
the incompetence of the conference to
do so under the terms of Count Mur
pvrff's circular, M. de Staal having
declared at the opening of the confer
ence with the approval of the dele
ga.es. that under no circumstances
would the conference discuss any ques
tion not contained in the circular. Sev
ei.il delegates declare there is little
chance cf the question being discussed,
but that if it is discussed America will

DENVER, June 23. According to

association the drouth has destroyed
all the large Colorado ranges. "The
reports coming to this office," said Mr.
Martin, "show that unless their i3

the loss to stockmen will be something
enormous. Even should the cattle and
sheep survive the summer they will
be so poor and emaciated when the
snows come that they will drop like
leaves from the forest."
Already cattle are dying in San Luis

REEISES TO TALK ON SAMOA.
Admiral Kautz and Others Oecline to bo
Interviewed.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 23. Rear
Admiral Kautz, who returned from
Apia on the Philadelphia, refuses to
bo interviewed about the troubles In
the islands and will make no state
ment of any character concerning the
prospects of a peaceful termination of
the international squabble. Before the
flagship reached port he Ipsuod strict
orders forbidding officers and men to
discuss the matter, and warning the
officers particularly against allowing
themselves to be seen by newspaper
representatives.
Ensign Monaghan's body, when
brought off from the ship, will be met
by Mayor Phelan, the relatives and
several friends, who will escort the
hearse containing the remains to the
Oregon stea-mer.
Lieutenant Lansdate's body will re
main aboard the Philadelphia until
Friday, when it will be removed with
full naval honors to St. Luke's Epis
copal cuhrch in this city. From there
it will be transferred to Cypress Lawn
cemetery. Mrs. Lansdale, who is liv
ing here with her parents, earnestly
desired that the interment should be
private, but Admiral 'Cautz has re
ceived instructions from the Navy de
partment to bury the officers with the
usual naval honrs. As Ensign Mona
ghan's body goes to Spokane the gov
ernment will take charge of the inter
ment there.
Captain Edwin White, commanding
officer of the Philadelphia, would say
nothing concerning the condition of
affairs in Samoa with the exception of
the ratner startling statement that the
German and American forces had been
on the most friendly terms all along,
and that there never had been the
slightest friction between them.
HiK Crowd to See Kipling
LIVERPOOL, June 2?. A large
crowd of people assembler" at the land
ing stage here to witness the debarka
tion of the passengers who arrived on
the steamer Teutonic, which left New
York June 14. When they were all
ashore it was announced that Mr. and
Mrs. Rudyard Kipling had landed
hours previously. A stampede to the
railway station ensued and the train
in waiting was effectually searched. It
was then discovered that the popular
author was still on board the Teutonic
and the crowd raced back to the
steamer, reaching the vessel just in
time to see Mr. Kipling walk quickly
down the gangway. He refused to be
interviewed, saying emphatically that
he had nothing to communicate to the
public. He made his way to the sta
tion, took a corner seat ii a railway
carriage and began reading a paper
and smoking. Those who saw him
when he went to the United States
say Mr. Kipling looks better than
when he left England.

WASHINGTON, June 13. It is re
garded as a consiTvaliw- is'lmat; that
the treasury deficits K.r Cic fiscal year
1K9!, which doses ten days hence, will
be less than $10(i.OO!),-!io. Already the
receipts for the year aggn-gut.u over
$189,S0O.G0i with the expenditures
barely J 100.000,000 more, with ten days,
judging from past years, of heavy re
ceipts yet to be accounted for. Up to
this date the customs receipts amount
to over "oo,4o0.ooo; from internal rev
enue $2 ..l.r.r.O.OOO was realized and
from miscellaneouri lourics there was
received $35,500,000.
The total recipts from all sources
last year amounted to J 10.", 321,335
while the expenditures aggregated
$413.3(18,582, leaving a deficit uf $38,
047.247. From the closest calculation that can
now be made the war revenue act,
which, with the exception of a few
itmes, went into effect. July 1. 1S3S,
will realize for the year a little less
than $100,000,000. The receipts from
tobacco alone will probably show an
Increase for the year of over $15,000,
000; spirits an increase .f $(;,f.0u,no0,
beer and other fermented liquors an
increase of over $:!s.o'io,ooo and oleo
margarine an increase of about $525,
000. The two items which have produced
more than ten times as much revenue
as any others are those applying to
documentary and proprietary stamps.
On April 30 last these items had pro
duced over $3i.ri(i0,000 and it is not
improbable that by June 1 the total
will exceed $44,000,000. The tax on
legacies will pmhnbly produce not
much in excess of $1,000,000. while the
special tax collected from bankers will
exceed $3,000,000.
The expenditures up to this time ag
gregate about. $i:o0.000.0'j. Of this
amount $228,000,000 wps paid out on
requisitions from the War department.
$(14,000,000 on account of the navy,
$139,000,000 on account of pensions,
nearly $40,000,000 on account of inter
est on the public debt. $12. 025. 000 was
paid to the Indians and $117,290,000
was disbursed on civil and miscellan
eous account.
At this time it is impossible to
state with any degree of certainty
what the war with with Spain and
the troubles in the Philippines have
cost during this year, but an approxi
mation has been made of the actual
cash payments on these accounts
places the amount at $230,000,000. A
calculation has been made at the treas
ury which shows that leaving out of
the reckoning the $230,000,000 expend
ed this year on account of the war,
the $100,000,000 produced by the war
revenue act and the $11, 70S, 314 received
from the Central Pacific the figures
would show a surplus for the year ap
proximating $20,000,000.
POPE DELIVERS RED E'ATS.
All Kicept Two of the Cardinals Present
at Jthe Ceremony.
ROME, June 23. The pope held a
public consistory today to present the
hats to the recently made cardinals,
with the exception of the papal nuncio
at Madrid and the archbishop of Gor
itz. The ceremony occurred for tho
first time in the hall of the Loggie.
near the entrance of St. Peter's. About
3.000 people were present, including
the diplomatic corps, church dignitar
ies and Latin-American bishops. The
pone, who was in good health, entered
and departed in the Sedia Gestcria,
escorted by the Flabelli. He conducted
the ceremony with ease in spite of its
length, and the strength of his voice
was much remarked when the pontiff
gave the benediction.
The pope was loudly acclaimed on
his entry and departure from the hall.
He afterwards held a secret consistory,
with tho usual ceremony of opening
and shutting the mouths of the new
cardinals. The latter later were re
ceived in the pope's private apart
ments. At the secret consistory today the
pope announced among the appoint-"
ments to bishoprics Father Christie,
Oregon; Father Dennis O'Connor.

Urine in Colored Miners.
PITTf!1 U'llO, Kan., June 23. Seventy-four
more colored ccal minors
and twelve women from the south ar
rived at Fleming today and were put
inside the company's stockade. Strik
ers attempted to prevent them from
going inside, but the company a-rnt.-?
were expecting a demonstration and
hurried them inside before the strik
ers could get to them. Publ-ic senti
ment condemns the company's bring
ing colored people here from the south,
because at least half of them are not
miners, but the scum of the colored
population in the south. A general
feeling of satisfaction prevails here
over the amicable settlement made
yesterday between the smaller opera
tors and the executive boards of the
United Mine Workers' association. Tiio

gin the fight upon the big operators

they will concede to the board's de

NHt ON TKE BLACK MINERS.
Tho First Attempt lo Import l abor at
Kvnnsville KennUs In Shoot in
EVANSVILLE, Ind.. June 22 The
first bloodshed of the coal miners'
strike, that has been in progress here
for two months, occurred shortly after
last midnight. It had been decided
by the proprietors of the Sunnyside
mine that foreign miners would be im
ported to start the mines. This decis
ion was made known to the union men
when the Chicago scale had been offer
ed them without recognizing the un
ion. About thirty colored miners, from
Madisonville. Ky., came in over the
Louisville & Nashville, and were met
at the station by James H. Moore, the
bookkeeper and a stockholder in the
Sunnyside company. The wagonette
was driven by Edward Gciger, son of
the proprietor of a furniture store.
The company plant is located on the
northwestern edge of the city, about
a quarter of a mile from the salt wells
and is reached by a road branching
from the right of West Maryland
street. Moore and Geiger were in the
front part of the wagonette. While
the vehicle was passing a vacant lot
just before making a turn in the load
to go to the mines, parties on both
sides of the road fired in the dark up
on the wagonette. The driver whip
ped up his horses and hurried to the
mine. A few minutes later Patrolman
Rustin appeared, having been
attracted by the firing. It
seems that one or two of
those who had fired on the wagonette
remained in the neighborhood and,
seeing the policeman, opened fire on
him. A shot struck his helmet, but he
was not injured. Three other officers
reached the place soon afterwards but
they were not fired upon.
Physicians were summoned. Six
men were found to be wounded. They
are:

The Sunnyside mine remains closed
today and the imported men are in
hiding.
The serious wounding of Moore, the
bookkeeper, has made a deep impres
sion on the management. The mine
is getting into a serious condition be
cause of a lack of operation. It is a
machine mine, and for this reason the
longer it remains idle the heavier the
loss.
Fred Dilcher, the national commit
teeman of the United Mine Workers
of America, and State Secretary Ken
nedy, deny all knowledge of the shoot
ing and say they are as much pur
prised as any one over the affair.
All is quiet this morning. Governor
Mount will probably be asked to pre
vent the importation of foreign labor.
