'He says the Expenditures Growing Out
of the War Will Continue for Some Tin: 6
Yet. Revenue Producing ‘ Qualities of
the Dingley Bill.
Washingtonp Nov. 21.——Chairman
Dingley of the ways and means com--
mittee of the House, intimates that ex-
penditures
will continue for a long time yet, cer-
tainly. for a year, and that for the next
six 'or eight months the 'treasury wnl
expend about $15,000,000 a month for
war purposes. .
“By the first of. January," said Chair»
man Dingley, ‘the war expenditures
will have exceeded, $200,000,000. Not—
withstanding the fact that active hos-
tilities have ceased, $25,000,000 were
spent on account of the .war during the
month of October, and there will be
fully $20,000,000 this month. These big
expenditures will be only slightly in-
creased during the balance of the pres-
ent fiscal year. I believe that for the
next six or seven months the disburse-
ments on account of the war will nor
be less than $10,000,000 a, month, and
more 'likely 315,000,000 3. month. The
treasury statement will, for the next
year, show that we are still making
3 .large payments growing out of the
war.
“In View of the amount of revenue
being derived from the war taxes, it is
foolish to talk of repealing any of the
revenue raising items, particularly so
before a. peace treaty is signed. The
war revenues produce about $10,000,000
a month, and the monthly war ex--
penses are considerably more than
this.
“The deficit thus created is being
made up by the proceeds of the $200,-
000,000 issue of bonds. The war ex~
penses for October were $15,000,000 in
excess of the revenues for the same
month, and the excess of expenditures
will be fully $10,000,000 for the month of
November.
“My estimate of a. monthly expendi-
ture of'between $10,000,000 and $15,000,-
000 during the next fiscal year, is, of
course, based on the assumption that
hostilities will not be resumed. We
will be at considerable expense in ad-
justing the affairs of the new terri-
tory acquired by us. I believe that the
war expenses will get down below the
revenues some time during the next
year. In the meantime, we have a sur-
plus of about $130,000,000, and whatever
deficit there may be will be paid out of
this fund. '
“In view of these facts the people of
no prospect of cutting off exiS‘ting-‘itax-
es. The great bulk of the public knows
this, for I receive very few petitions to
lower the taxes. There will be no re-
duction or modification of the war tax-
cST'du‘ri'ng the present season, and I
do not agree with those who think it
willbenecessary to increase them. The
law is meeting with our expectations
and it is only a matter of time before
the war expenses and war l‘eceopts will
be equa ."
In speaking of the revenue produc-
ing qualities of the tariff of 1897 Chair-
man Dingley said that the revenue
produced by the new raw for the past
four months exceeded the amount dc-
rived from the Wilson law in the same
months in the last year of its existence
by nearly $25,000,000, which indicates
that the Dingley law will produce from
$60,000,000 to $75,000,000 per annum more
than the‘VVilson tariff.
“The revenue now derived under the
tariff for the month of October exclu-
sive of war .ta.xes," said Mr. Dingley.
“was more than $15,000,000 in excess of
the revenue yielded by the Wilson tar-
iff law in the last October of its on—
forcement, and the revenue produced
this month by the new law, exclusive
of war revenues, will be more than 36,-
000,000 in excess of the revenue pro-
duced by the \Vilson law in the last
November of its existence. The reve-
nues from February 1 have been more.
than the peace expenditures on the ba-
sis of the expenditures for the last
five years. In other words, the new
tariff is producing all the revenue that
was expected from it and is ample to
meet the expenses of the government
if we had not been plunged into war."

as they were arresting a. drunken no-

GR’EELY’S SHARP CRlTIClSM.
Chief Signal Officer Comments Severaly
on Conduct of War. a ,
San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 21.—Gen.-
eral A. F. Greely, chief signal officer of
the army, is reported to have made
something of a stir by his response to
a toast at the Chit Chat Club's ban—
quet a. few nights ago.
In effect he is said to have called the
system of army organization “anti-
quated and inelastic,” and told of the
inelficiency of the new officers, scoring
the methods of appointment through
political influence.
He did not think much of volunteer
soldiers. .. . .
The alleged incompetency in landing ,
troops and supplies at Santiago came
in for lively comments.‘ General Gree-
ly said that at the time hostilities were
first threatened there was not a. gun
south of Mason and Dixon’s line that
could be fired. He praised the presi-
dent for delaying the final outbreak.
He was particularly Severe in speak-
ing of poor methods of handling sup-
plies. .He cited instances of gross
blunders in forwarding supplies. At
Tampa he was forced to break into
nearly two hundred freight cars to so-
cure provisions intended for his de-
partment.
The same incompetency characteriz—
ed the loading of provision ships. In
one case where men had been sent to
a steamer to procure general rations
for troops at Santiago, théy found
nothing in the vessel but canned toma-
toes.
MRS. GUlLFORD COMES BACK.
The Bridgeport Practitioner Arrested in
London Reaches Here.
New York, Nov. 21.—0n board the
Cunard line steamer Lucania, which
arrived here Saturday from Liverpool
and Queenstown, was Dr. Nancy Gull--
ford, the Connecticut practitioner, who
is charged with the murder of Emma
Gill. '
She was in the custody of Detective
Cronin of the Bridgeport pol-ice. Mrs.
Guilford appears on the list as Mrs.
N. Brown. She occupied saloon state—
room E on the forward saloon deck of
the steamer.
Mrs. Guilford was on deck when the
steamer reached quarantine. Detect-
ive Cronin said:
“Mrs. Guilford was seasick for more
than half the voyage. She managed
to get on deck during the past few
days. But few of the passengers on
board knew of her identity. She gave
me not the slightest trouble during the
voyage, neither has she made any
statement or confession. She appeared
anxious to reach home and see her
family.”
Detective Cronin started for Bridge?
port with his prisoner on the ,,eléVen
o’clock train from the Grand Central
depot. i— -'

=.".’Scrafito‘n, Pa., Nov. 21.—In St. Cath-
crine’schurch, at noon Saturday, a
bride deserted her would be husband
at the altar during the ceremony,
blushingly walked down the aisle t')
the door and made a. hasty exit.
Miss Margaret Moore was attired
beautifully as she met Timothy Foley
and :the bridal party at the sanctuary
rail in the church.
The Rev. B. H. lValsh was reading
the marriage service and already the
bridegroom had taken his solemn vow.
“Vi".ll you, Margaret Moore, take
Timothy Foley to be‘your lawful hus-
band?” asked the priest.
There was a hesitation. “Is it yet
too late?" asked the bride—elect.
“Not yet," replied Father Walsh.
“No, I will not,” said Miss Moore,
as she turned from the altar, and, fac-
ing the astonished crowd of guests
which filled the church, started for the
door. ‘ —
The motive which promptcd'the bridu
so summarily to end the ceremony has
not yet been explained.

pany F, Eighth infantry, Troop H,

alry and two batteries of the Seventh
Light Artillery, a total of five hun-
dred and forty men and five hundred
and thirty-three horses.
Spanish steamers continue to bring
large quantities of provisions from
Spain, particularly rice, beans, oils and
Wines.
There is a good deal of complaint as
to the irregularity of the transport
mail service between Porto Rico and
the United States.
General Buell Dead.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 21.—General
Don Carlos Buell died ‘at his home, four
miles from Rockport, Ky., yesterday.
The end had been expected, for the
general had been very ill for several
months. '
General Buell was born at Marietta,
Ohio, on March 23, 1818. He was grad-
uated at West Point in 1841. '
In the Mexican war he was promoted
for gallantry to brevet major, and
when the civil war began he was made
a. brigadier general.
At Shiloh he came to the relief of
Grant. He resigned his commission in
the army in June, 1864, and had lived
in retirement ever since. '

ROOT FOR ST. JAMES.
State Republican Organization Said to
Have Recommended Him.
New 'York, Nov. 21.—the Press has
the following:
Elihu Root has been
through Senator Pl-att, representing
the 'Republican organization of the
state, for the position of ambassador
recommended
3 to the court of St. James.
Whether Senator Platt personally
was in favor of this action of the or-
ganization is not known, but it re-
moves one aspirant from the ranks of
the candidates for United States sena—
tor._ '
It was understood that Mr. Root was
the choice of Governor-elect Roosevelt
to succeed Senator Murphy.
The selection of Mr. Root is to fill
the post left vacant by the calling of
Colonel John Hay to a higher place.
Mr. Root’s work in the campaign has
endeared him to the organization.- He
was not anxious to go to the senate,
but his friends have been zealous in
his behalf. ~
Mr. Root is a New Yorker. He was
born in Oneida, February 15, 1845, in
the town of Clinton. His father was
Oren Root, professor of mathematics
iii-Hamilton College from 1849 to 1885.
The son was graduated there in 1864.
He was admitted to the practice of
law and settled in New York city.
From 1883 'to 1885 he was United
States district attorney for the south-
ern district. In 1879 he was a candi-
date on the Republican ticket for a
judgeship in the Court of Common
Pleas. He was defeated. In 1886 he
was chairman of the Republican coun-
ey committee of New York.
He was counsel for Judge Hilton in
the Stewart will case. He has been
an active member and president of the
Bar Association, and his fight for a
clean judiciary in the last election will
be remembered long.
His speech 'to the Republican state
convention at Saratoga showing the
eligibility of Colonel Roosevelt for the
governorship was a masterpiece. He
is one of the best known constitutional
and international lawyers in the coun-
try.
Advance Sheets of Esterlzazy's Book.
Paris, N 0v. 21,—La. Liberte published
yesterday extracts from the advance
sheets of the first part of Count Estetu
hazy's book entitled “L’Affaire. Drey-
fus,” in which the writer declares himr
self the “victim of Cavaignac” (recent-
ly minister of war), whose enmity for
him, he says, arises from the fact that
their fathers were political enemies.
Esterhazy reasserts that he was the
tool of the general staff, that it was
the general staff who always dictated
his’ conduct, that by their orders he
struck Lieutenant Colonel Picquart,
and that it was the general staff who
selected his seconds wh'en he challeng-
ed Picquart and furnished him with
“exceptional and irregular means” of
defending himself.
He left France, he asserts, to “es-
cape being assassinated or being driv-
en to suicide like Lieutenant Colonel
Henry.”
A Iiol-livi'Abdication Story.
London, Nov. 21.—In regard to the
future government- of Spain it is again
reported in diplomatic circles, and ap-
parently with some weight, that there
will be a change of dynasty, but a
peaceful change.
The queen regent is said to be con-
vinced of the hopelessness of'her son
ever reigning and upon the advice of
the Emperor of Austria has decided
that soon after the peace treaty is
signed at Paris (and everyone now re—
gards this as only a question of days)
to quit Spain with her family and Don
Carlos will be proclaimed king.
Everything is reported to be already
arranged and the army and clergy are
alleged to be eager for the change. Ac-
cording to the programme, Don Car-
los, as soon as things are running
smoothly, will abdica'tc in favor of his
son, Don Jaime.
Still Discussing Reciprocity.
.W’ashington, D. C., Nov. 21.——The Ar.-
glo—American commission held no ses-
sion Saturday, but the two sides held
separate conferences for the purpose of
arranging their data. fer the next joint
session on Tuesday.
Reciprocity continued to be the gen-
eral subject of discussion, and it was
understood that the lumber question.
was receiving considerable attention.
It is probable that the free lists in
the present tariff acts of Canada and
the United States will'be incorporated
in any reciprocity agreement which
may be made, and it IlS pointed out
by members of the commission that
this will be important in giving these
free lists a. permanent form as parts
of a. treaty rather than a changeable
form, as parts of the general stat-
utes.
- Hall-pin Diet Killed Her.
Toledo, 0., Nov. 21.—Not long ago a
woman named Wheelock died in the
infirmary. No one claiming the body
it was turned over to the Toledo Medi-
cal College and placed in the pickling
vat. The woman had been slightly in-
sane.
This week, when her body was cut
open, the stomach had a big rent from

found about five hundred bent hair-
pins, several hundred brass pins, tacks
