CHAIRMAN‘DINGLEY’S IDEA
duo Says the Expenditures Growing Out
of the War Will Continue for Some Time
Yet. Revenue Producing Qualities of
the Dingley Bill-
VVashington, Nov. 21.-Chairman
Dingley of the ways and means com-
mittee of the House, intimates that ex—
penditures ,growing out. of the war
will continue for a long tune 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 J anuary,” 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
fury $20,000,000 this month. These big
ex enditures will be only slightly 1n-
cr used during the balance of the pres-
e: a fiscal year. I believe thatfor the
r ct six or seven months the disburse-
! .ents on account of the war will not
le less than $10,000,000 a month, and
more likely $15,000,000 a month . The
treasury statement will, for the next
year, show that we are still making
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
.ihostlilities will not be resumed. We
"will be at considerable expense in ad-
..justing the affairs of the new terri-
'-tory acquired by us.
‘War expenses will get down below the
I believe that the
revenues some time during the next
year. In the meantime, we have a sur-
plus of about $130,000,000, and whatever.
:deflcit there may be will be paid out of
this fund.
“In View of these facts the people of
the country must realize that there is
no prospect of cutting off existing tax-
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-
es during the present season, and I
do not agree with those who think it
will be necessary to increase them. The
law is meeting with our expectations
and it is only a matter of time before
the war expenses and war receopts will
be equal."
In speaking of the revenue produc-
ing qualities of the tariff of 1897 Chair-
man Dingley said that the revenue
produced by the new law for the past
four months exceeded the amount dc-
rived from the YVilson 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 \Vilson tariff.
“The revenue now derived under the
tariff for, the month of October exclu-
sive of war taxes,” 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 en-
forcement, and the revenue produced
this month by the new law, exclusive
of war revenues, will be more than 86,—
000,000 in excess of the revenue pro-
duced by the Wilson law in the last
November of its existencé‘? 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."

port St. Paul has sailed for Manila,
carrying a cargo of Christmas presents
for the soldiers and sailors in the Phi-

Race Troubles at Anniston.
Annlston, Ala, Nov. 20,—A riot is
imminent here. Negro soldiers inter-
fered with the white provost guard
as they were arresting a. drunken ne—
gro soldier. The negro was finally
landed in the jail, which is now sur.‘
rounded by an angry mob of white sol-
diers clamoring for his blood. The
feeling is intense and more trouble is
feared.
-l'GREE'CY’S SI-lARP CRlTlClSM.
Chief Signal Officer Comments Severaly
on Conduct of Wax-.3
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
inefficiency 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 handlingsup-
plies. He cited instances of gross
blunders in forwarding supplies. At
Tampa he was forced to break into
'nearly two hundred freight cars to se-
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, they found
nothing in the vessel but canned toma—
toes. '
MRS. GUILFORD COMES BACK.
The Bridgeport Practitioner Arrested in
London Reaches Here.
New York, Nov. 21.—-On board the
Cunard line steamer Lucania, which
arrived here Saturday from Liverpool
and Queenstown, was Dr. Nancy Guil~
ford, the Connecticut practitioner, who
is charged with the murder of Emma
Gill.
She was in the custody of Detective
Cronin of the Bridgeport police. 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 eleven
o’clock train from the Grand Central
depot.
Bride Balks at the Altar.
Scranton, Pa., Nov. 21.—In St. Cath-
erine’s church, at noon Saturday, a
bride deserted her would be husband
at the altar during the ceremony,
blushingly walked down the aisle to
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. R. H. Walsh was reading
the marriage service and already the
bridegroom had taken his solemn vow.
“Will you, Margaret Moore, take.
Timothy Foley to be your lawfulghus-
band?” asked the priest. A
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 prompted the bride
a so summarily to end the ceremony has . .
gnot yet been explained.

A BOON T0 MOTHERS.
lf Any Norwalk Mother Has Looked for
This, Follow This Advice.
Wherezrer we go and among all class-
es, we find children sulIering from
weak kidneys. The intelligent, mother '
knows that this is not a. habit and
searches for a remedy, It is something
very hard to cure, and the family phy-
sician tells her that the child will out-
grow; it in time. Sometimes they do,
and "sometimes they do not. In the
meantime, annoyance and embarrass-
ment, is the result. If anyone knows a.
remedy, is it not. an act of charity, is it
not a duty to make it. public ? Should
selfishness or pride keep it concealed ?
Mrs. Nellie Dunn of Winter and
Fourth streets, Aosonia, Ca, has used
Doan’s Kidney Pills in her family and
makes the followmg statement for the
benefit of anxious mothers and the re-
lief of interesting little children. Mrs.
Dunn says:
“I have a lit-tie boy of eleven years
of age that was very much troubled
with weak kidneys. When he was six
years old he- would go in bathing
frequently and remain in for a long,r
time. That was when I first. noticed
any difficulty with his kidneys, but he
got. so that he would wet. the bed every
night. I have taken him up at eleven
o’clock, but it. would occur two or
three times before morning. This
caused me any amount; of work and I
was not strong, besides I knew that it
should not be neglected, yet we got
nothing to relieve him. Finally I read
somewhere that Doan’s Kidney Pills
would'prevent such occurrences and I
procured them from a drug store. They
have really been the means of strength-
ening the kidneys of the child, and
preventing the nocturnal urination. I
am very grateful to Doan’s Kidney
Pills and I hartilyerecommend them
to any mother having a. child so afflict-
ed. They will relieve the mother of
an enormous amount of work, the child
of much embarrassment, besides per-
forming a duty the parent owes the
child to prevent. it from growing up
with weak kidneys.”

ROOT FOR ST. JAMES.‘
State Bopybllcnp Organization Said to
Have Recommended Him.
New‘York, Nov. 21.—The Press has
the following: - .
Elihu Root has been recommended
through Senator Platt, representing
the Republican organization of the
state, for the position of ambassador
to the court of St. James.
Whether Senator Platt personally
was infavor 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
in 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 Ito 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, Nov. 21.—La Liberte published
yesterday extracts from the advance
sheets of the first part of Count Ester-
hazy’s book entitled “L’Affaire Drey-
fus,” in which the writer declares him-
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 when he challeng-
ed Picq’uart 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.”
Another 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 regeiit 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.
Ever 'thing 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 abdicafte in favor of his
son, Don Jaime. '
Still Discussfligr Reciprocity.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 21.——The An-
glo-American commission held no ses—
sion Saturday, but the two sides held
separate conferences‘for the purpose of
arranging their data for 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 is pointed out
by members of the commission that
this will be important in giving these
free lists a permagbnt form as parts
of a treaty rather than a changeable
form, as parts of the general stat-
utes.
Hairpin 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
inflammation, and in that organ were
found about five hundred bent hair-
pins, several hundred brass pins, tacks
andmeedles. piecesof glass, 8. set ring
and Other» small articles of a similar
character. The woman's remarkable
mania had caused her death.
Fell from Brooklyn Bridge.
New York, Nov. 21.—Christopher Ry:
man, a rigger, employed on the Brook—
lyn-bridge, living at No. 26 Rose street,
l
fell from the bridge Saturday morning.
while repairing a. strand in a‘cable,
landing in the yard of the New York
Telephone Company in Water street.
Death was instantaneous. His body
was found wedged in between two
spools of wire and nearly every bone
in it was broken.
