    CARLISLE’S REPORT.
\ WHAT HE SAYS AS TO OUR
f UNCLE’S FINANCES.
The Report Late in Getting Before the
Public, But Better Late Than Not at
All—Revenues of the Government
From All Sources and Expenditures
f^Dnring the Same Period—Facte Con
cerning the Issue of Bonds.
Code Sam’s Finances.
WAsnwGTos, Dec. 17. — Secretary
Carlisle’s annual report on the state of
finances was sent to Con press to day.
It shows that the revenues of the gov
ernment from all sources during the
last fiscal year amounted to *390,373,
203. The expenditures during the
same period aggregated *433,178,420,
leaving a deficit for the year of *42,
803,223. As compared with fiscal year
1804, the receipts for 1893 increased
*17,570,703, although there was a de
crease of $11,339,981 in the ordinary
expenditures, which is largely ac
counted for by a reduction of *11,134,
055 on Bugar bounties. The revenues
for the currant fiscal year are esti
mated upon the basis of existing laws,
at *141,907,407, and the expenditures
at *448,907,40.7, which will leave a de
ficit of *7,000,000. For the coming
fiscal year ending June 30, 1897, the
Secretary estimates the receipts at
*494,793,120 and the expenditures
*457,884,193, or an estimated surplus of
*6.900,920.
' The Secretary states briefly the facts
concerning the issue of bonds during
the year, the particulars of which
have already beeu reported to Con
gress and the reports concerning the
seals of Alaska at some length.
SHORT TIME BONDS DESIRED..
The Secretary devotes a large share
' of liis report to a discussion of the con
dition of the treasury and the curren
cy in the course of which he makes an
exhaustive argument in favor of the
retirement of the greenbacks. “The
cash balance in the treasury on the 1st
of December, 1895,” he says, “was
*177.400,380, being*98,072,120 in excess
of the actual gold reserve on that day
and *77,406,380 in excess of any sum
that it would be necessary to use for
replenishing that fund in case the
Secretary should at any time be able
to exchange currency for gold. There
is, therefore, no reason to doubt the
ability of the government to discharge
all its current obligations during
the present fiscal year and have a
large cash balance at its close with
out imposing additional taxation in
any form upon the people, but I ad
here to the opinion, heretofore ex
pressed, that the Secretary of the
. Treasury ought always to have author
ity to issue, sell or use in the payment
of expenses short time bonds bearing
a low rale of interest to supply casual
deficiencies in the revenue. With a
complete return to the normal busi
ness conditions of the country, and a
proper legislative and executive super
vision over expenditures, the revenue
laws now in force will, in my opinion,
yield ample means for the support of
the public service upon the basis now
established and upon the asstimption,
which seems to be justified, that the
progress now being made toward the
restoration of our usual state of pros
perity will continue without serious
interruption. It is estimated that
there will be a surplus of nearly
$7,900,000 during the fiscal year ]»97.
During the fiscal years 1894 and 1895
the ordinary expenditures of the gov
ernment have been decreased *27,282,
606.20 as compared with the fiscal year
1893^ and it is believed that with the
co operation of Congress further re
ductions can be made in the future
without impairing the efficiency of the
publie service.”
THIS HAST GOLD BOND DEAL.
Continuing the Secretary says: “The
large withdrawals of gold in Decem
ber, 18&4, and in January and the
early part of February, 1805, were due
almost entirely to a feeling of appre
hension in the public mind which in
creased in intensity from day to day
till it nearly reached the proportions
of a panic and it was evident to all
who were familiar with the situation
that unless effectual steps were
promptly taken to check the growing
distrust, the government would be
compelled within a few days to sus
pend gold payments and drop to a
depreciated silver and paper standard.
More than $43,000,000 of the amount
withdrawn during the brief period
last mentioned was not demanded for
export, but was taken out by people
who had become alarmed on account'
of the critical condition of the treas
ury in its relation to the currency cf
the country. The purchase of 3.500,
000 ounces of gold folloived, it being
in the contract that no less than one
half of the gold was to be pro
( cured abroad, but after a large part
of the gold had been furnished
from abroad the secretary', in order to
prevent disturbance in rates of foreign
exchange at a critical period and
avoid a condition which would force
gold exports and consequent with
drawals from the treasury, acquiesced
in a departure from the litoral terms
of the contract that one-half of the
coin should be procured abroad and
accepted deposits of gold then held in
this country to complete the delivery.
Ordinary prudence demanded that the
success of the plan to protect the
treasury against withdrawals should
not bo endangered by insisting upon
a strict compliance with all the details
of the contract while especially the
government could sustain no loss and
the whole amount of gold stipulated
for was secured. The amount of bonds
issued under the contract was $62,315.
400. and the amount of gold received
was $65,110,244.62.’'
THE MEXACES OF THE PBESENT.
The beneficial effect of this trans
action, the Secretary says, was felt
immediately, not only in this country,
but in every one having commercial
relations with us. “Confidence in our
securities.” he continues, “was at once
restored, and these encouraging indi
cations of increasing prosperity still
continue, and it is reasonably certain
that if our progress is not checked by
a repetition of the large demands upon
our resources or by a failure to meet
the just expectations of the people in
respect to the reformation of our fiscal
system, we are entered upon an era of
material growth and development not
surpassed in our bistory.
LOGAN ITS AUTHOR. I
1
He Wrote "Uncle Daniel’s Story of !
Twenty Great Battles." |
Chicago, Dec. 17.—A special to the ;
Times-Herald from Washington says: i
John A. Logan's secret is out at last
In 1886, a book appeared from the
press of a New York firm, entitled,
‘‘Uncle Daniel's Story of Torn Ander
son and Twenty Great Battles.” It
was published anonymously, “by an
officer of the Union army.”
Many prominent public men were
covertly attacked in its pages, their
names being paraphrased. Some of
them, conspicuously Senator Voorliees
of Indiana, published interview in self
defense. All efforts to identify the
author proved fruitless. But the secret
is now out. John A. Logan was the
author, and “Tom Anderson” was him
self.
General Logan wrote the book in
1884 and the following year. He be
gan it while he was on the Republican
ticket with Blaine as a candidate for
vice president.
General Logan told those who were
honored with his confidence that all
the incidents in his book were actual
occurrences. He regarded the story
more as an autobiograpby than any
thing else. The framework of tho
story was imaginary, but its sub
stance was drawn from General Lo
gan’s own experience and observa
tions.
In order to conceal his identity and
to avoid too pointed reference to prom
inent men in military and civil life,
General Logan changed geographical
and proper names to suit his purpose,
though nearly always leaving a clue
to his meaning.
MR. FLYNN RAMPANT.
(he Oklahoma Delegate Bitterly Attack*
Secretary Smith.
Washington, Dec. 17. —Speaker
Heed to-day gave Delegate Flynn
recognition to enable him to call up
his resolution in regard to the Wichita
lands. It was introduced last week
and not only asked the secretary why
the lands have not been opened, but
whether any of the secretary’s rela
tives by blood or marriage were inter
ested as attorneys in observing the
opening of the reservation.
Messrs. McMUlin and Maddox ob
jected to the peremptory tone of the
resolution and it was slightly amended.
Thereupon Mr. Flynn made an ex
ceedingly bitter speech.
Mr. Cooper of Florida, responded,
not as objecting to the nurpose of the
Oklahoma man, but his manner, and
for five minutes rebuked him for his
grave violation of the proprieties.
Mr. Flynn returned to the assault
with renewed intensity and was even
more bitter than before, this time in
cluding the President in his denuncia
tion.
The resolution was then passed
without objection.

bicycles of Japanese make at $13 each
and parlor matches, doors, sashes,

taken the initiative and China would
follow.

CHAPTER Xni.—fCoxTist'EDf.
The colonel drew out a paper and
placed it on the table before him.
i "To save you all trouble,” he said, *‘I
have myself written out the letter,
which now only requires your signa
ture."
! Dick brushed the paper contemptu
ously aside, and half wheeled his chair
round away from them,
j "I am prepared to give you time,"
continued the colonel, "but only In rea
son and I would advise you not to run
It too fine, for I do not conceal from you
that by a continued refusal you will
force us to extremes."
i "To put' It sho^rt,” said Johnstone,
“you’ll sign that paper In an hour or die
for it."
! At this moment the door was suddenly
opened, Johnstone was pushed aside,
and a white figure passed swiftly round
the table to Dick's right hand.
Dick sprang to his feet. For a mo
ment the three men were silent, all star
ing expectantly at Camilla, as she stood
holding out both hands to Dick.
Then the colonel was heard to curse
between his set teeth. Dick turned
upon him triumphantly. In each hand
gleamed a pistol, loaded, cocked and
primed; at his side stood Camilla, with
pale face and flashing eyes.
"Have no mercy!” she cried, In the
ringing voice of an angel of vengeance;
“no mercy! They had none on you!"
He raised his hands. Johnstone
glared at him like a tiger brought to
bay; the colonel shrank back Into the
corner of the room, and the cold sweat
came out in great beads upon Ills fore
head.
Camilla would have spoken again, but
her voice broke In an uncontrollable
sound between a sob and a laugh.
Dick turned to her.
"I give them back to you,” he said.
“One Is of your kin, and the other
nothing but a tool.”
She flung out her hand toward them
In their corner.
"Do you hear?” she said; "take back
your shameful lives! And now,” she
cried, taking a pistol from Dick’s hand,
“now, my soul’s captain, come away
with me!”
She would have raised the pistol, but
he took her by the wrist.
“No, no, dear heart,” he said, gently,
"surely that too would be surrender;
let's fight the ship until she sinks.”
He laid both pistols upon the table,
and pushed them across to the colonel.
“And now,” he said, “get you gone.
I wish to speak to this lady undis
turbed.”
The colonel hesitated, but in a flash
Johnstone caught him with a grip of
Iron, and whirled him, helpless, thro'ugh
the door,
CHAPTER XIV.
ICK and Camilla
were alone together
and face to face at
last. There was no
hesitation, no shad
ow of reserve be
tween them. This
one hour was
theirs, .though the
rest were the very
.darkness of de
spair.
She came toward
him joyfully, and with a proud smile
threw her arms about his neck; then
drew her head a little back and looked
long into his eyes, where the light of
love shone steadily, undlmmed by any
sadness of farewell.
“How could I.” she murmured; “how
could I think you less than greatest?”
“Nay,” he said, “how could I think
you wished me to be so?”
And they forgave each other in a long
silence of possession.
At last Camilla started painfully; the
colonel's voice was heard outside; he
passed without entering; but with the
hateful sound her mood was changed.
Peace fled, and a great terror and per
plexity took hold upon her. Dick saw
it and took her In his arms again; she
clung to him desperately.
“What am I to do?” Bhe cried. “What
can I do?"
"That which you came to do,” he an
swered, quietly. “But first you must
rest; the strain of all this has worn you
“Rest!” she said. “X can not—un
til—” And her voice failed.
“I know what you would say,” he
replied. “You are troubled by uncer
tainty about me, but you must try to
dismiss that from your mind. What
ever comes to me, you have your work
to do, and you must do it.”
She looked at him reproachfully, but
could not speak.
He understood her again, and ans
wered her unspoken thought.
“No,” he said, “X am not forgetting,
but you yourself once made me promise
that I would put aside love for duty.
I have no need, I know, to make the
same request of you.”
As he spoke the scene of that promise
came back before her eyes. She saw
the ball-room at Glamorang House, his
trembling hope, and her own pride and
self-sufficiency.
But now Dick was speaking again,
and It seemed as though he had divined
her thought, In part at least.
“That old promise,” he said, “has
bound me twice already. I found it
hard, but I obeyed. This third time I
could not do so, but that the promise
Is enforced by a yet stronger law. It
Is a bitter, cruel necessity, but X must
fight against you and your cause. I can
but warn you that I shall do my best."
Her heart beat fast. “And I?" she
said, faintly.
“I know,” he answered, as If to spare
SYff£NRYM&WBQLT ' *
her the words. “T know you can not
sacrifice your loyalty to the Emperor,
even for me.” ■'
In utter simplicity ho had mtsunder- j
stood her; her weakness was doubly re- j
buked, and she felt him tower above
her higher than ever.
"It Is a strange game,” he said, more
lightly, ‘‘in which you and I are found
on opposite sides; but since we're in It,
let no one say we didn't play It out.”
"But either way you lose!" she cfled,
with despairin' her voice and eyes.
"Not so.” he answered, tenderly. "I
have won already, and received my
Prize beforehand.”
He drew her to him as he spoke, and
again for a space the chains of their
Iron destiny fell away from them, and
they fled together across shoreless seas
under an infinite radiance of sunlight.
She tore herself away at last, but only
at his urgent entreaty that she would
rest. She promised with a sad smtle,
knowing sleep to be Impossible.
Outside stood Johnstone. As he was
about to lock the door again the colonel
came up and stopped him.
“Walt a moment." he said. “I wartt
to speak to Captain Estcourt."
He turned to Camilla, and added, be
fore he went In. “I am sorry to trouble
him again, but I must make It plain to
hi that his fate Is none the less Inevit
able for any help you may have prom
ised him. I warn you, you are power
less In my hands: It you wish to save
him It must be by bringing him over to
our side, and not by deserting to his.”
"You may spare him your hateful
presence, then,” retorted Camilla, “for
I have made no promises.’’
The colonel looked Incredulous.
“Oh!" she cried, "how should you un
derstand? I would have given up all,
and gladly, too; but ho compels me to
do my duty In spite of myself.”
The colonel looked a little uncom
fortable, but his face cleared. ‘Then I
may count on you to nelp me?" he
asked.
sue turned upon him, her eyes blaz
ing: with unspeakable hatred and con
tempt.
"Yes,” she cried, “you may count on
me to help you and despise you; to
curse you in success ana to triumph in
your downfall!”
The colonel turned away. He felt that
he was not appearing at his best be
fore Johnstone; and it was against his
principles to let himself be seen at a
disadvantage by a subordinate.
Camilla went to her own cabin and
threw herself into her berth. She was
worn out, but far too overstrung to
sleep. The wind was rising outside;
the ship moved violently, with sounds
of straining timbers and of heavy
masses thrown from side to sire.
Hour after hour passed in this tur
moil, which sremed to match the help
less tossing of her thoughts. Sometimes
the shouting of rough voices came to
her; sometimes the shrieking of tho
wind was like the despairing cry of hu
man agony. Her nerves quivered, rest
less terror overpowered her reason, and
the most horrible fantasies possessed
her. At last she could bear it no longer.
Hardly knowing what she did, she rose
and went to the salodn.
Johnstone, wearied out by a long
watch on deck, was sleeping on the floor
beside the door.
She took the key from his pocket,
turned It in the lock, and passed softly
in. He wolte as she stepped over him,
but seeing who it was sat still and eyed
her watchfully.
She steadied herself in the doorway
and looked down the room. A hammock
had been slung across it near the mid
dle; there lay Dick, sleeping quietly as
a child; a single lamp was hanging
near, and the unsteady light threw
strange distorted shadows across his
face without troubling his rest.
She stood gazing for some minutes; a
deep sense of peace came over her; she
sighed and turned away, soothed and
strengthened.
'Johnstone, without rising, .held out
his hand for the key. As 3he went back
to her cabin, he muttered behind her:
"Ay, ay! my beauty; he’ll be sleeping
sounder yet tomorrow night!”
Happily she did no-t hear him, but
went to her berth comforted ,and slept
for some hours in spite or the noise of
the hurricane, which raged with in
creasing violence.
During the night the brig, after vain
ly attempting to anchor, had been driv
en past the island to the south, and
When Camilla came on deck is the
morning she thought at first that an
unhoped-for deliverance had thus been
brought about, for St. Helena was far
away on the horizon, and the wind,
though it had moderated in force, was
still blowing almost dead against them.
She soon saw, however, that the ship's
head was toward the island, and that
by repeated tacking they were already
making some way against the wind.
The colonel himself came up to her
and pointed out this fact. “By sunset,"
lie said, “we shall have comfortably
worked back to the north side of the
island, and our new guest will be on
board the Speedwell soon after mld
nicrht.”
She looked at him with cold hatred,
and made no answer.
“I can not help seeing," he remarked,
“that I have had the misfortune to In
cur your displeasure. But I hope the
Emperor, when he comes, will recon
cile us all.”
She turned her back upon him and
went below. When she reached the
door of the saloon she found Johnstone
posted there again. This time he re
fused to let her In.
“No, no," he said; “your turn last
night; mine this morning. I’ve particu
lar business with Captain Estcourt to
day, and from his looks I should say It
would take us some time yet."
She went to her cabin, and the long
day began to drag wearily on.
Dick, In the meantime, was racking
his head to find some sure way of up
setting the colonel's plans even at the
last moment, and at any cost to him
self. It was horrible to think that if he
succeeded he would Involve Camilla In
the ruin of the conspiracy. But he put
the recollection of this sternly from h!s
mind, or clenched hts teeth still more
doggedly when the thought forced It
self upon hint. He saw clearly enough
that the colonel would go on hoping for
his surrender until. the last possible
moment—that would be until the time
came when they must either get leave
to take the Speedwell Into the roads eft
Jamestown for the night or be boarded
by the search party from one of the
cruisers. If he could manage to be on
deck at the decisive moment when the
guard-boat came alongside, he might
give them some kind of warning before
his enemies could silence him.
The colonel had come In twice during
the morning to see If he had signed the
letter yet- on the second occasion Dick
had snatched the paper from his hands
and torn it Into fragments. He now
appeared for the third time, bringing
a freshly-written copy with him, which
he handed to Johnstone.
“This Is my last visit,” he said. "X
shall leave Captain Kstcourt to you
henceforward. It seems that my pres
ence makes him unreasonable."
“It Is you,” said Dlek, with an at
tempt at diplomacy, "who are unrea
sonable, to keep me shut up below here.
Are you afraid that I shall swim
ashore?"
“I am afraid that you might try," Re
plied the colonel. “But I’ll let you go
on deck after dinner If you will excuse
my taking my own precautions."
"What precautions?”
"Putting Eome little constraint upon
your power of movement.”
"Call It Irons at once!" Interjected
•jupnaion?,
Dick flushed Indignantly, but' a glance
at the colonel's face told him that the
Interpretation was correct. Insulting
as the suggestion was, he could not af
ford to refuse, for It was his one chance.
“I accept.” he said, shortly, and the
colonel went out.
After dinner Dick was taken on deck,
and the irons were brought. He sat
down while they were locked upon him.
The colonel stood a short distance oft.
watching. When he saw that Dick was
helpless he came up.
"Now,” he said to Johnstone, "take
him down again. If you please.”
Dick turned white with anger tnd
despair.
“You don't mean that!” he cried.
"You can not!”
“I promised you should come on
deck," replied the colonel "but I think
I am right in saying that no time was
mentioned. In my judgment you have
been long enough here already, and—
you will pardon me for speaking plain
ly—the sooner you learn submission to
my judgment the more trouble you will
spare us all.”

BARBER-SHOP LITERATURE.
College Frofeuar Complain* of the
“Sporty” Style of Newspaper*
"Why is It,” asked a mild-mannered
college professor of a friend by whose
side he sat waiting for his turn in a
barber-shop—“why is it that barber
shops, of every grade and 'n every lo
cality, always provide for the delecta
tion of their patrons the most lurid of
‘sporty’ publications? I don’t look
like a sport, do I?” And the friend
looked him over, and with a droop of
the corners of his mouth and an eleva
tion of his eyebrows agreed that he
didn’t. “Yet,” continued the professor,
“whenever I sit down in a barber’s
chair the barber immediately thrusts
into my hands a sheet of pink pru
rience, or some less highly colored but
more openly indecent illustrated abom
ination. Some few hotel barber-shops
have a stray copy of a daily newspaper
lying around, but I have yet to find a
barber-shop where ‘sporty’ papers are
not the chief literary entertainment
provided for patrons with which to be
guile the tedious waits for a chance at
the chair. Is there any reason for it,
or is it Just a trade custom for barbers
to subscribe for such publications
when they open their business, just as
they order soap and shaving papers?
Is it that all the thousands of mild
mannered, every-day citizens who are
not ‘sports’ shavo themselves, and
there is therefore no need of catering to
the literary taste of the casual cus
tomer of that kind? But if, as I imag
ine is the case, the barber’s customers
are men of all classes and calibers,
why don’t the barbers provide some
thing to balance the spectacular effect,
at least, of the ‘sporty’ papers that
stare at one from every chair? A copy
of some good monthly magazine would
not cost as much as a sporting weekly,
for Instance, and would be really a
treat for dozens of customers, where
the superfluity of pictorial abomina
tions are really offensive. But I didn’t
intend to suggest how a barber should
run his business. I only started to
voice my wonder as to Just why barber
shops and lurid ‘sporty’ papers should
always have to be associated together
in one’s impressions. Can you think
of one without thinking of the other?"
The Clock Trade Ii Hushing.
The manufacturers of clocks have not

the watch manufacturers have this year
given their hands shorter vacations
than usual, and are increasing their al

facturers of Providence, New York,

their factories to their utmost capacity;
the importers of art goods, pottery and

shipments of goods;-makers of cut glass

golden shower during the fall season

W'o can mention no failure more <3Isas ■
Irons than tliat of physical energy. It
involves the partial suspension of the di
costive and assimilative processes, and en
tails the retirement from business of the
liver and kidneys. Only through the good
otllcesof Hostetler's Stomach Hitters can
the restoration of Its former vigorous stat
us be hoped for. When this aid has been se
rured, a resumption of activity in the atom
ic h, liver and bowels may be relied upon.
The Bitters conquers malaria and kidney
troubles.
