WORK AHEAD IN CHINA”
He Says that the Present Naval
Force Is Inadequate and Asks an
Appropriation ‘of Over $100,000,-
000 for New Vessels. 1
Berlin, Dec. 1.—-The Parliamentary
session of the Reichstag was opened
yesterday. The Emperor conducted
the opening in person, reading the
speech from the throne himself, in-
stead of deputizing the Chancellor to
read it in the cliamber,.as is custom-
ary. '
The ceremony took place the
in
‘ White Hall of the Schloss at noon.
After reading the formal speech the
Kaiser made another speech, iowhich
he recalled how he had sworn and re-
sworn to maintain the greatness of the
Fatherland. '
The Emperor also called attention to
the naval bill which will be submitted
This measure, he
said, was important, in view of the re-
cent occurrences in China. His own
brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, had
i " been designated to command the Ger—
man squadron about to sail for Kaio
Chau Bay to reinforce the German
fleet in Chinese waters, so "important
did he regard the matter.
The Emperor’s speech was chiefly de-
voted to naval matters. The Kaiser
declared that the German navy was
not equal to its mission, and did not
suffice to afford security to the home
ports and coasts in the event of 2.
blockade. He also said that the Ger-
man trade was increasingly sharing
the markets of the world, but Ger-
many's warships were not sufficient to
protect their countrymen abroad by
giving them the support which by a
display of power could only be secured.
The Emperor said he did not wish to
vie with the maritime powers of the
first rank, but that Germany must be
able to maintain her prestige.
The Emperor's naval bill asks the
Reichstag for an appropriation of
410,000,000 marks (over $100,000,000) to
be expended over a. term of seven years
The Kaiser wants
battleships and nine cruisers built. He
asks an increase of 4,000,000 marks for
annual naval expenditures.
After reading the speech the Emperor
recalled how, two years ago, he had
sworn on the same spot where he was
then standing, to maintain and protect
everywhere the prestige and honor of
the empire. He added: '
“In the sight of Almighty God, and
by the memory of the great Emperor,
I now ask your help to enable me in
the future also to keep this, my oath,
and to assist me to uphold with my
might the honor of the empire abroad
for the preservation of which I have
not hesitated to pledge my only
RELIEF FOR THE MINERS.
Cabinet Considers Advisability of
Sending; Aid to Iilondike.
Washington, Dec. 1.—'1‘he Cabinet
yesterday considered the subject of
sending relief to the miners in the’
Klondike. President McKinley re-
ceived a. telegram from the Portland
(Oregon) Chamber of Commerce stat-
ing that there was danger of destitu-
tion and suffering on the Klondike,
and offering to supply the necessary
food for, relief if the Government
would undertake its transportation.
The information was not definite as
to the actual conditions, but was on
the same. line as has been telegraphed
from the Northwest. '
The Cabinet considered every phase
of the situation, and discussed ways
and means of affording relief, the dis—
! position being to do everything possi-
ble to prevent starvation and misery.
Secretary Alger has several relief
plans in contemplation, but that likely
to be adopted if Congress appropriates
the amount of money necessary to car-
ry it out contemplates an overland
from Juneau or Dyea, to start when the
snow hardens in February or March.
A large number of reindeer will be
necessary to the success of the plan,
and 1V. T. Kjellmann, assistant Super-
intendent of the Government reindeer
stations, started from Washington yes—
terday for Lapland to secure deer
broke-n to harness and a number of lap
drivers. 2
Booth-Tucker Raises $30,000.
New York, Dec. 1.—Carnegie‘I—Iall was
crowded to its utmost capacity last
night when Commander Booth-Tucker
and his wife addressed the closing
meeting of the Salvation'Army’s annual
congress in the interest of the coloniza-
tion scheme. At the conclusion of
Commander Booth-Tucker’s appeal for
money, blank promissory notes, obl'gat-
ing .the signers to lend the Salvation
Army optional sums for five years. at 5
per cent. interest, were distributed
among the audience. Over $30,000 was
subscribed by means of the notes. Sev-
eral sums were also donated outright.
One note for $7,500, 'three for $5,000
each, and five for $1,000 each were made
on condition that the signers’ names
should not be made public.
Death to Civil Service.‘
“Washington, Dec. 1.—Republican
members of the House who are either
in favor of a modification or a com—
plete repeal of the civil—service law
look upon Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio,'as
the leader of the movement. They are
awaiting his arrival before any defi-
nite plan is arranged.
The Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, In-
diana, Illinois and West Virginia Re-
publicans are up in arms against the
law, and the talk is that, no matter
what the President may say on the
subject, a most determined fight will
be made in Congress to either wipe
the law out entirely, or to cut off the
appropriations necessary to maintain
the Civil-Service Commission.

A Surplus for November With, thei
Union Pacific Proceeds.
'WITHOUT THESE A DEFICIT
The Latter Amounts to $7,977,013
Unusually Heavy Expenditures for
the War Department—Compara-
tive Table;}leavier Receipts.
.
Washington, Dec. 1.—The Treasury
statement which appearsto-day shows
a surplus of receipts" for last month
over- expenditures of $5,668,000. This
is due to the fact. that the $13,000.00C
from the sale of the Union Pacific
Railroad has been ,added to
ceipts- for the month. ,Without this:
there is a decided deficit for the month
of $7,977,013, as compared with a deficit
forlthe- same‘ month last year of $7,-
621,314. ’ 1'
Heavy Expenditures. ‘
Notwithstanding ‘the fact that the
deficit last month exceeds that of No-
vember last year by a little over $300,-
000, the Treasury Department is much
encouraged by the fact that the re-
ceipts for the month have increased
and that they are slowly gaining. By
the beginning of the last six months of
the fiscal year it is hoped that,the re-
ceipts will come 'up to original expecA
tations. One reason for the heavy ex-
penditures last month was that large
sums have been expended under the
direction of. the IVar Department
which were not so spen last year.
One item alone, $3,610,000 for the im-
provement of the Monongahela River,
swells the total for the ’War Depart-
ment many millions over that of last
year. 'For example, during the last
five months the War Department has
expended nearly $26,000,000, as against
$18,000,000 for the same five months of
1896. The expenditures for pensions
were nearly $3,000,000 more for the last
five months than during the same time
last year. Notwithstanding these fig-
ures the total expenditures for the five
months closing yesterday are 1ess.than
' $5,000,000 more than those of last year.
The total deficit is about the_same,
but counting the $13,000,000 from the
Union Pacific the deficit for the five
months is over $8,000,000 less than last
year.
The figures for the receipts and ex-
penditures for Noveml :r compared
with those of November last year
show how closely the Government is
running this month with last year.
The figures given below are without
the money received from the Union
Pacific Railroad.

Heavier Receipts Anticipated.
Treasury officials do not view with
alarm the fact that the receipts for the
past month are over seven millions
behind the expenditures. They say
that the small receipts from customs
are due to the large importations
made in anticipation of the passage of
the new tariff law. It is estimated
that the revenue from sugar alone,
when importations are normal, will
amount to $5,000,000 a month. Very
little sugar was imported during Octo-
ber and November, and practically
none prior to that date and since the
passage of the new tariff. It is be-
lieved that tlrese importations will in-
crease during the month of December,
and will be normal about the month of
January. This will add at least $4,-
000,000 more to the monthly receipts,
and it is confidently believed that .53,—
000,000 more will be recelved from in—
crease in other ifiiportations.

lie Looks for No Radical Legislation
on the Currency.
Dubuque, 1a., Dec. 1.—Senator Alli-
son, on the eve of his departure for
Washington, said:
“It is too early to determine whether
revenue legislation will be necessary
at the coming session. Should any
be found necessary it will be enacted
later in the session.
radical currency legislation. In my
judgment the sentiment of Congress
will not permit the redemption and re-
tirement of the greenbacks, but I see
no objection to the suggestion that
.greenbacks, when redeemed, should be
held as part of the reserve and
changed only for gold. ' ,

Thereby Risiug‘ Notch Higher.
The rapid spread of the game of
golf in this country has opened ae‘new
field for the enterprising American
boy. “ ‘
It is good, healthful work for a lad,.
tor it keeps him crib-in the open air,
'more work out of a. game than the
l player himself. His earnings are mole
:than those of most of his fellows in
f stores and offices, too. The usual'rate
;of pay is from 10 to 15 cents an‘hour,
and with the tips he gets from players
ithe caddies" earnings often amount "to,
68 or $10 per week‘in the golf season.
, In some places the caddies are paid
by the round, but that is not so fair
as the time pay system, as the least
skillful players, who are apt to give the
caddies most work, take the longest
time to go over the course. In the
neighborhood of the big- cities where
most of the golf links are located,
many business men play the game, go-
ing over' the links early in the morn-
ing, or on their~ return from business
after 4 in the afterncon. In such
places most of the caddies are school-
boys who can do this work outside of
school hours as the links are prac-
tically deserted during the middle of
the day, except on Saturday, which is,
of course, a holiday for the school boy
as well as for the business man. There
are any number of thrifty caddies who
are paying all their school expenses
this winter with the money they earn-
ed running after balls during the long
summer days. . 2
Some funny experiences lall to the
lot of the caddy. A story is told in
one of the golf clubs near New York
of a. member who fell into the un-
fortunate habit of using a great many
swear words over his bad shots while
learning the game. His wife remon-
.strated with him for it, arid being
somewhat ashamed of himself he
promised that he would pick up a.
I stone every time he swore on the links,
iund bring them all home to her. On
'the first day of the new arrangement
ithe man toiled home at night, and,
emptying his pockets, made a good-
sized pile of stones on the porch, where
his wife sat. “Oh, Johni” she cried,
reproachfully, “all. those?" .
“Oh,” said the player, wearily,
“those are only the ‘llttle slips.’ Here
—waving his hand toward two caddies
who were pushing 'wheelbarrows full
of cobbles up the garden path—“here
are the others.” This, it need not be
said, is somewhat apart from the cad-
dy’s ordinary duties.
The new player is a source of fun
and sometimes of profit to the caddy.
A New York editor, who considered
golf -a very easy game, started out last
year on the Shinnecock links to play
a match game after‘a very little prac-
tice. His opponent was soon ahead of
the editor became nervous. Swinging
his stick with unusual force in order to
make a long shot, he brought "it down
ankle. Dancing about with tne pain,
the usually dignified editor Still
membarcd to look about to see if any
one had noticed him, and then, slip-
ping a dollar into the caddy’s hand,
he said: “You were looking the other
way just then, you know.”
Sometimes the caddies practice on
their own account, and some of them
become expert players. ' One way in
which they occasionally add to their
incomes is by teaching the gamete
new members. I know of one young
fellow who has made such goOd use
of his opportunities for the past few
seasons that he has retired as a caddy,
son by teaching the game” Opportun-
lties sometimes come to the boy on the
links in other“ ways, too. A few weeks
ago a Wall street broker called my at—
tention to an unusually bright and
spry boy in his office.
“He’s a treasuref’ said the broker.
“I wouldn’t trade him for two ordin-
ary city boys. And where do you sup-
pose I found him? On the golf links
out in Jersey. I found that he could
cover more ground in a short time
than some professional sprinters, and
I made up my mind he’d be-just the
fellow for a stock runner. He’s just as
quick with his brains as he is with
his heels, too,‘ and though he’s so use-
ful. to me.in his present position, I’ll
have to make him a' clerk before long
or somebody will get him away from
me.”——Chicago Inter-Ocean.
