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.

P/IURDER AND LYNCHING,
All Take IMacn In Kentucky Within Twen
ty-Four lionri
New Richmond, Ky., Aug. 23.—A
cowardly murder and the lynching of
the murderer occurred in the county
within the last twenty-four hours.
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. The site of the colliseum
is known to all World's Fair visitors as
the site of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West
Show, opposite fai” grounds.

London, Aug. 22.—The St. James Ga

question: “How does Great Britain
stand in regard to the Nicaraguan
canal?”
I ursuing the subject the paper adds:
“It would lie well for Mr. George Cur-

FiikI May Take Step* to Force China
to Tcrma.
Washington, Aug. 23.—The slate de
partment is without any information
about the report that the Chinese offi
cials have refused to allow the mixed
American and British commission to
make a free and complete investigation
of the Kuckcng massacre. 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.
Pim.ADKi.piiXA, Pa., Ang. 22.—The
result of last night’s republican prima
ries was confirmed by the convention.
According to figures given out by the
Quay leaders, the senator already has
100 votes, 15 more than the number
necessary to elect him state chairman.
The last county in the state to elect
delegates is Lehigh, whose primaries
will be held on Friday night next
Senator Quay says he has little hope of
capturing the four delegates from this
county, as tho opposition has a very
strong organization.
Senator Quay will go to Harrisburg
today and remain there until after the
convention on August 28th. Governor
Hastings, leader of theanti-Quay fight,
is in Harrisburg, as is also Banking
Commissioner B, F. Gilkerson, the
present state chairman, whom Senator
Quay seek»to defeat for re-election.

at An End.
Rai.kioh, N. C., Aug. 17.—Tho silver
meeting at which J. C. Sibley, of Penn
sylvania was booked to speak yesterday
was quite seriously interfered with by
forboding weather. Mr. Sibley and
Senator Marion Butler, accompanied by
about 1000 people went from here to
Cary, eight miles distant, where they
found about 3,000 people. But for the
weather there would have been at least
5,000. Speeches were made in the morn
ing by State Senator S. M. Mcwborne,
Ex-president of the State Alliance^. W. ’
A. Graham, trustee of the State Al
liance business fund, Cyrus Tnompson,
President of the State Alliance and con-
testee for the congressional seat from
the third district, and Senator Marion
Butier. At 1 o’clock Senator Butler
introduced Mr. Sibley who consumed
two and a half hours in speaking, dur
ing part of which time crowds had to
raise umbrellas. But they never moved
from their seats and the speaker took
no apparent notice of the rain. He
dealt with the silver problem almost
exclusively, and what he said was punc
tuated with applause that was limited
onlv by the capacity of the hands and
lungs of the audience. Save as to the
payment of warm respects to Secretary
Carlisle and John Sherman, the address
was of non-partisan character, and was
a strong appeal for unity of all ele
ments which desire an i demanded the
restoration of silver to the position ii
occupied in the monetary laws of tho
country prior to 1ST:’.
