This includes §'t,Kill.277 disbursed on account of bonds and in- tore t ibis month’.vhich will not appear on the i!r: t of September. Deducting' this, the actual balance is found to be 5:17i*. This is the lowest ligure reached since last March, when the treasury began to receive the proceeds of the sale of bonds at that time, the balance of the available funds in the treasury is sometning less than gso.tWO, 000 ami this is necessarily divided among the several suh-treasuries and in designated despositories. Thus far tlcre has been no necessity to transfer funds by telegraph from one point to another in order to meat heavy drafts as was done before the last bond issue and treasurj* ofiicials do not believe that they will b$* compelled to do so. While it is true that receipts from cus toms dues are likely to be lighter for a time than they have been, owing to the fact that the heavy fall importa tions are generally in, confidence is felt by the department otlicinls that the revenue will be sufficient to meet expenditures. Certainly this will be the ease in their opinion, when the im portations of spring goods begin to ar rive in the near future. In the mean time the balance will be kept well up to its nrcsent figure.

I-'runklin liridman, years obi. the wealthiest man in Claremont county ami pnsident of the 1'irst National Rank of New Richinond^was murdered ycstopiay afternoon by a negro. Noah Anderson. Mr. Rridnian lived at Clar- montvillo and was on liis way to New Richmond in his buggy when Ander son -j-ning out from a jdace of conceal ment on the roadside, lie seized Mr. Rriilmaa by tbe throat ami choked him to deaMi. The murderer fled but was soon captured and locked in the New Rn-i.inond jail. Imme.lir.'.eiv after be- yeitci day morning liiei’’ arouse: o'clock tlie Mayi iei.d, Ky., Aug. 22. —The sec ond debate between general Hardin and lion. W. O. Bradley took place here yesterday afternoon. To the disap pointment of all democrats who heard him, General Hardin strenuously avoided the currency’ question until within ten minutes of the time in which he was to close. Then in re sponse to Mr. Bradley’s question he said he would appoint to succeed either of the two United States senators should either of them die, a man who would be in favor of coinage of both gold and silver upon exactly equal terms. “I hope to be able to appoint one good enough,” he added, “and one who will be able to preserve a perfect party in all the money we have.” General Hardin touched much less upon the money quest ion than he did at the opening debate at Louisville, al though he takes practically the same ground that he did there. General Bradley came out boldly’ for the single gold standard and derided General Hardin for his failure to take a bold stand for his side of the question. There were many promipet demo crats present from all over the state and there is a strong sentiment that there should be a new democratic standard bearerf or else the whole tick et will be defeated. It is stated that Senator Lindsay will take tnc stump and make arguments in favor of sound money. Under the present condition of things in demo cratic Kentucky’ this means that the senator will wage war on General 1*. Watt Hardin and his free silver ideas.

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 22.—The lynch ing of the Vinsons, father and son, at Kleensburg; and the arrest of the ring leaders of the lynchers and ns many more as can be carrnlled, is causing a storm of excitement of which no one can forolell the end. Deputy Prosecu ting Attorney Graves furnished tha names of those who formed the riot, consisting of Mike London, Frank Ubeloeker, William J. Kennedy, John Bush, Frank Fregle, Richard Linke, Fred Kchalle, Henry Dursciurt, Jim Hagen, George Milder, James Hols- worth, James Altren, Andrew Kilborn, Jimo Case, George Hills, Ncl. Swanson, Manuel Sarroco, George Burger, Mike Ostrander, Fran Finley, Charles Ken nedy and Fob Wilkinson. The prelim inary’ examination was held yesterday, after which they were all hurried t« the county jail under a strong guard, bnt the A. P. A. element are in the fight and will make desperate efforts to have the above named supposed lynch ers convicted. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Graves is determined. Friends of the impris oned men are equally determined and as a consequence troops are guarding the county jail expecting an effort to release the imprisoned men. Governor McGrew will send compa nies from .Spokane and hero should matters take a change for the worse. A majority of the military companies under command of Captain Frost are reported to bo in sympathy with the lynchers and should any attempt be made to re 1 ase them it is not assured that they will be met with much resist ance.

CtncAfio, 111., Aug. 22.—The root of mammoth Coliseum building, which is being erected at the corner of <>8d street and Hope avenue, fell in last night. A large number of men were at work inside the building, hurrying it toward completion by September 2d for Barnum's show. If tbe disaster to the building had occmied a little earlier there would have been great loss of life, as over half a hundred men had just quit work for fhe night. They had been instal ling the arc electric lighting for tho opening of the big show building September 2. with Barnum & Bailey's circus So far as known at this hour no one killed by the accident. Several watchmen had just made their rounds of the building and were standing un der the walls which are uuusally low for the size of tho building. They were on the street when the crashing superstructure of iron gave warning of danger, they had plenty of time to rush to a place of safety. Then the massive arches of iron began to break loose ‘from their fastenings from the four sides of the structure the strain was too much for the thick low walla of pivs.-ed brick. With u deafening sound the massive iron carried with it the four walls inn chaotic heap towards tlie centre and the work of destruction was complete The e >s‘, of the Colise um was to be FC.a.lKI) ami as it was nearly completed for the opening show the loss is believed to be near $200,000. Everything was being done in a hurry to keep tho opening date and only last week three workmen met death while engaged on the superstructure. Twc of the iron workers fell 100 feet from a beam while placing the bolts in the beams. The president and prime mover oi the enterprise from its eue.’ption is John T. Dickinson, late of Fort Worth, Tex., who achieved nuttoiial reputation as secretary of the World’s Columbian Commission.

I f the re port be true there is no doubt that con firmation will be received through at cable message from Minister Denby or some United States consular office in China. As the situation now appears, the Chinese government is taking a great risk in hampering the commissioners. Feeling in England on tho subject U intense and if every opportunity is not given the British commissions, the British government according to tho state department view, will probably take active measures to enforce its demand for redress and compel China to redeem the promise that the mur derers of British missionaries would be punished by death. This country has not the same interest in the massacre that the British have, for the reason that one American only, Miss Hartford was injured, whereas, ten English peo ple were butchered. Tho United States government 1ms not com mitted itself in any way with re gard to the investigation that the Chi. nese are said to have blocked and what it will do in the event that the report concerning the obstacles thrown in the commissioner’s way may prove true, cannot be stated svith any degree of positiveness at the present time. LO, TO BE GIVEN JUSTICE. This Tim* bo Will Smile*, While Ilia Enn- idIps are I’unlahed. Washington, Aug. 22.—Since the closing of the Bannock Indian troubles, the interior department has been busy collecting material as a basis for a re port of the whole affair and it has now about completed its task. It has long been understood that those implicated in the killing and wounding of Indians would be brought to account. The de partment of justice will soon have all the facts of the affair laid before it, probably today, and it is understood that the interior department will recommend that special agents he de tailed to visit the scenes of the recent, troubles and make an investigation with a view to publishing the persons who engaged in killing the Indians. In the event that tho department of jus tice acquiesces in this recommendation, the interior department will send in spectors along with the agents to as sist in the investigation. It is not likely that Agent Teter will take any part in this phase of the mat- ewi^ir.to.tbq tiers against him. QUAY IS THE BOSS Of the Political Situation in the State of I’rniiHylraiiin.
