Notwithstanding Reduced Tariff and Increased Pensions There "Will Re a Surplus. Washington, July 16. Mr. Cannon, chairman of the House appropriations committee, emphatically denies that the appropriations by Congress at this session for the current fiscal year will exceed the revenues. He estimates the appropriations at $350.000,000, and says: "The ordinary re reuues of the government for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1800. are reported by the Treasury at $402,083,000; under the existing laws there is no reason to anticipate a less sum from the ordinary revenues doin g 1891. The noatal revenues for 1891 are estimated by tne Postmaster-general at $C5,414,000, making a total of $407,497,000. Deducting aggregate appropriations of $350,000,000 there will be a surplus of $117,497,000, which is more than ample to meet the requirements of the new pension law, and the reduction of taxation from tho enactment of the 31cKinley bill, estimated at $00,000,000." a SENATORS YROM THE NEW STATES.

Who They Are Likely to Be The Story of Jesse K. Dubois. Special to the Indian&poUs J ourn&L Washington, July 16. The people of Illinois should fell considerable pride and satisfaction in the admission of Idaho as a State, because it will almost certainly bring to tho United States Senate the son of Jesse K. Dubois, for many years one of the recognized leaders of the Republican party in the Senate and a man who enjoyed public confidence and respect so far as his acquaintance extended. In 1876 Senator Cullom secured tho appointment of Fred Dubois as United States marshal of Idaho. The young man at that time was secretary of the State Railroad and Warehouse Commission, and had graduated from Vale College only a few years before. Tho Senator says that when Jesse Dubois was dying he called him to his bedside and asked him to look after his son. This he has done, with a great deal of interest, and he felt that his duty had been performed as he satin the chair of the pre siding officer of the Senate and saw the bill paused without an amendment. The other Senator from Idaho is likely to be George L. Shoupe, the present Governor. The two Senators from W yoming are likely to bo John M. Carey, the present Delegate, and Governor Warren, both of whom are active and able young men. KECIPKOC1TY ANI SUGAR. Senator Frye's Reply to Secretary Blaine's Letter What Wo a Id Spain Do? Washington, July 16. Senator Frye, in reply to Secretary Blaine's letterof the 11th inst, has written him as follows: Your letter leaves me in some doubt as to facts. I assume that your views are contained In what is known as the Hale amendmentthat -ou know, for Instance, what the Latin repubIcs will receive ol our goods free from duty in compensation for free sugar. I assume that that amendment was the result of thorough investi gation. The difficulty about it is this: The amount of sugar to be received from those states would be comparatively small, and the consumer of nuear would receive no benefit from it. Your letter to me extends this idea of reciprocity to Cuba and Corfta Klca. I admit if sugar is re ceived free from these islands, as well as from the Latin republics, tho people would be bene-, llted and sugar would be practically free. But will Spain admit into those islands, free or duty. the list of articles named in that amendment! Of course, we could not enact a law more favor able to Spain than to the republics. Do you know what Spain would give for free sugar, and can you give a list of the articles she would receive! The better way. probably, would be to make the list she would receive the controlling one for all those countries. INVOLVED EIGFIT MILLIONS. BIc Land Suit Decided Yesterday by the Secretary of the Interior. "Washington, July 16. The Secretary of tho Interior to-day rendered a decision in the somewhat celebrated case of H Spicer and others vs. Tho Northern Pacific Kailroad Company, James N. Glover and others, interveners. The case involves the status of a tract of land in an odd-numbered section within tho primary limits of said company's grant, upon which a portion of the city of Spokane Falls is now located. Tho land is said to be now valued at mere than eight million dollars. It was claimed by Spicer that the land was excepted from the company's grant by reason of the occupancy and claim of a Spokane Indian named Enoch. On April 10. 1800, the Secretary directed that a hearing be had to determine the statns of the land. Upon the new evidence submitted the Secretary revoked his former order, direct ing a hearing, and dismissed the applica tion or opicer and others, lor tne reason that, upon the whole record now before him, it conclusively appears that said In dian bad never severed his tribal relations. Ibis decision, in eflect. confirms the rail road title as against the parties claiming an adverso interest. RIVER AND IIARROR ESTIMATES. What the Proposed Improvements In Illinois and Indiana Will Cost Washington, July 10. Capt W, L. Mar shal, corps of engineers, has made his annual report to the Secretary of War in regard to river and harbor improvements in Illinois and Indiana. - He ' estimates the amount that can be profitably expended in the next fiscal year in the improvement of the harbor at Chicago at $172,000, and is of opinion that the existing project can be completed with that sum. The funds now on hand, amounting to SlT.f&S, and the sums asked for are to he appliod. he says. to the work of maintenance, in replacing in a permanent manner the now rotten super structure over the north pier at the entrance to Chicago river and over the westerly breakwater of the outer basin and to watching and caring for the property per taining to this harbor. . The sum of 8412,500 is estimated as neces sary to complete the improvement of the Illinois river, to be applied to the comple tion of the Kampsville lock and dam. and opening tho Kampsvillo lock to navigation; also, to dredge the channel through bars. Captain Marshall says the present project should be completed at once, whatever mav possibly be brought about in the next generation in the way of a substitute lor this work, whether or not the substitute be an ImDrovement unon nresent nlana. The estimates for the improvement of Calumet river, Illinois and Indiana, are: For the year. S'JOO.OOO. and to comnleto. SS70.000. which funds, with those now on band, the engineer says, are to be applied to continuing the dredging under the contract now in lorce, and to furthering the completion of the project. A separate esti mate of $47,000 is made for completing tho improvement of Ualumet harnor, Illinois. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGUESS. Senate Debating the Irrigating Question House Helpless for Want of a Quorum. Washington, July 1C In the Senate today, while the sundry civil appropriation bill was under consideration, a long debate arose over the amendment increasing the appropriation for topographic surveys from $200,000 to $000,000, and repealing the provisions of the act of June CO, 1SS8, providing for the selection and location of reservoirs and canals upon the public lands and the reservation of irritable lands, provided that reservoir and canal sites heretofore located or selected shall remain segregated until otherwise provided by law.

One hundred and twenty members were announced as paired on the vote. Mr. Owens of Ohio called attention to the colloquy which occurred yesterday between the gentlemen from Illinois and Tennessee Cannon and Houk, during which, he said, in their anger, they had told some truths which were entirely omitted from the Record. He wanted to know whether the Democrats could do the same thins. The Speaker said the Chair was unable to respond. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Peters of Kansas in the chair) on tho land-prrant forfeiture bilL Mr. Stockdalo of Mississippi advocated the bill. Mr, Holman of Indiana reviewed the land-grant legislation of Congress, and argued in favor of a forfeiture of all lands not earned within the time limited in the granting acts. Mr. Hermann of Oregon favored the bill. Rending further discussion the committee rose. Mr. Sweney of Iowa presented the conference report on the bill authorizing the construction of bridges across the Iowa river at Wapello, la. On agreeing to the report Mr. Rogers of Arkansas raised the point of no quorum. and a call of the House was ordered. Only 142 members, less than a quorum, responded to their names. On motion of Mr. Mc Kinley of Ohio a resolution was adopted di recting the Sergeant-at-arrns to bring to the bar of the House such members as were absent without leave. After waiting an hour and a half for a quorum to appear Mr. Breckinridge moved that all leaves of absence be revoked. -.Mr. Peters otl'ered an amendment excepting those members absent on account of illness lost.

Washington, July 1C R. II. Thomas, the secretary of the Pennsylvania Editorial Association, which is now visiting this city, is the editor of tLe Fanner's Friend, and published the bogus letter discussing the tariff, purporting to have been written by President Harrison in response to an inXitatiou to visit a grange meeting. Mr. Thomas called at the White House to-day. but said nothing to the President on the subject, lo others, however, he admitted that he knew the letter was a fraud when he received it and when he published it. lhere was no attempt to imitate the hand writing of the President or his signature. Mr. Thomas immediately set on foot an inquiry, which resulted in the discovery of the forger. 'Although he is a young man twentv-one years of age he has already published two or three similar forgeries. Senator Sherman Will Not Retire Washington Special to Chicago Tribune. Senator John Sherman's retiring dispo sition has not asserted itself to the extent of declining to bo a candidate for re-elec tion to the Senate in 1802. He remarked to day that a newspaper paragraph to the effect that he would retire "had about as much truth as such things usually bad." He pointed out that he was credited with sixty-four years instead of sixty-seven, and refused to say what his plans might be three years ahead. There is, however, one condition on which he would retire from the Senate that is, an election to the pres idency. If this condition is not brought about in 1S92 the Ohio Legislature will undoubtedly be given the privilege of re-electing Senator Sherman. Marshal Ransdell's Good Showing. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 16. The accounts in detail of United States Marshal Dan Ransdell have been approved by Justice Hagner. of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.

Washington, July 1C The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Cullom in the Senate as to tho transportation of goods in bond between the Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United States over the Canadian Pacific railroad was passed to-day, after being so amended as to include the Grand Trunk road. General Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 16. The following fourth-class Indiana postmasters were appointed to-day: O. P. Hanson, Beech Grove, Marion county, vice J. Moriarity, resigned; J. Hall, Kouts, Porter county, vice J. E. O'Brien, removed; J. S. Nelsou, Kosston, Boone county, vice W. Sedwick, resigned; F. G. Hcnkle, St, John, Lake county, vice A. Hammer, removed. J. K. Jackson, a prominent banker of Union City, is at the Hotel Randall. Messrs. Slortimer Nye and Daniel Nays, of LaPorte, are at Willard's. The number of eligibles on the registers of the Civil-service Commission for most of the Southern States is not sufficient to meet the demands of the apportionment for appointments in the departmental service at Washington. There is also a lack of eligibles for the railway mail service from most of theso States. Mr. Pasco offered a resolution in the Senate to-day (which was referred to the committee on foreign relations) calling on the Secretary of State for information as to the arrest by tho Spanish authorities in Havana of A. J. Dias, an American citizen and minister of tho gospel. The President will leave Washington tomorrow evening for Capo Ma, to remain until Monday unless he makes a' change in bis present programme.

Bamberg, S. C, July 16. News from Kearses, a township in Barnwell county, where a race trouble occurred some months ago, is to the effect that there is more trouble between the races. A man just in from Kearses states that over three hundred negroes, armed with new Winchester rifles, had gathered, and that serious trouble was anticipated. One negro had been killed and several injured. At 9 r. M. last night a white militia com-! pany left- this place for the scene of the trouble, and the whites will be reinforced by those from the surrounding counties. No cause is assigned for tho trouble beyond the bad blood between the races, caused by the riot some time ago. Latest advices are that the riot was precipitated by an attempt to arrest negroes concerned in the event of several months ago. They resisted, and one white man was killed and another fatally wounded. A negro named Grant was shot down and killed. It is said that Grant's house was garrisoned by a strong force of blacks. The scene of the riot is twerty miles from a 'railroad or telegraph office, and details are meagre. w The latest advices, however, state that all is quiet. The negroes have dispersed. No further disturbance had occurred at 6 o'clock this morning. It is believed that no further trouble need be expected. The prompt and determined action of the white people of Barnwell county prevented any further trouble at the Kearses settlement. Most of the detachment of military who went to Kearse at the call of the people have departed from tho scene of the trouble. The Associated Press representative saw the captain of the relief squad, and from him obtained the latest news from the scene of the race conflict. He said: 'I have not the slightest doubt but that there would have been very serious trouble at Kearses had our squad not' arrived promptly on the held. The news that aid had been sought and was coming was soon diffused, and the negroes, if tho3' at any time had desperata intentions, abandoned tli em, for the present at least. The fright and show of determination on the part of the whites of the county has. it is thonght by all, had its effect upon the negroes and no further trouble is anticipated. The negroes have all returned to their work. Eleven negroes ambushed several young white men, but thej have all left the county of their own volition and cannot be found. The body of Grant, the negro who was riddled with bullets, was viewed by many of the negroes. There is no excite ment in the neighborhood. The colored women, who are generally tne most boisterous, talk quietly about the conflict. If possible, the ambushers will be arrested. Several white men were wounded, but are getting along as well as can be expected. Mr. Kearse is probably fatally wounded. Medical assistance from Charleston has been telegraphed for the wounded.7? - Seven "Negroes Were Killed. - ViCKSBURO, Miss., July 16. Reliable persons, arrived from Bastrop, La., to-day, say that seven negroes were killed and six wounded in the affray with a white posse near Merrongo yesterday. There were thirty-six negroes in the party, all of whom came here a short time ago from North Carolina. The survivors . returned home with the whites. In other respects the previous accounts of the conflict are correct. Merrouge is eight miles above Bastrop. . , . DAIXY WEATHER UCLLETIN.' Local Forecasts.

President Sterns, of the Cincinnati club, emphatically denies the rumor that he contemplated deserting the League and joining the Brotherhood. Hate-Ball Notes. The League's attendance again aboat doubled that ox the Brotherhood yesterday. Tho Pittsburg papers are thoroughly disgusted at the miserable playing of their clubs, and are abusing. League and Brotherhood alike. Of the last nine games Cincinnati has lost seven, and Boston is now making a bid for third place that is likely to crowd the Reds out. Ihe result of to-day's game between tho two clnbs will be awaited with much interest. If Boston wins Cincinnati will drop another notch in the race. Rusie seems unable to keep the Cincinnatis in check, and though they were de feated yesterday in the closing same with.

Joseph Dunn, a Negro, Accused of the CriN by His Mother-in-Law. Camden, N. J., July 1C Something of ar sensation was created here to-day during 3 hearing of Joseph Dunn, colored, charged by his wife with ill-treating her. Mrs. Anna Durham, Dunn's mpther-in-law, in a sworn statement charges her daughter's husband with being concerned in tne murder of Annie Le coney, who was found, at her home, near Merchantville, some months ago, with her throat cat. Mrs. Durham swears that Dunn was formerly employed on the Leconey farm and was discharged. When he camo home he was growling about the money he received. ' Ho said there was plenty of money at the farm and that he intended to have some of it. This was a week before the murder of Annie Leconey. Two weeks after the murder, she says. Dunn, who had been away, reappeared dressed in different clothes. He told her that he had some of tho money, and that the rest of it had been paid to certain people to keep them silent. The woman charged Dunn with being an inveterate thief, and says he has, according to his own admission, beon mixed up in more than one murder: Chalkley Leconey, uncle of tho murdered girl, whose sensational trial, lasting several weeks, for the murder of his niece is well remembered, was seen at the farm to-day. He says he has no recollection of ever having employed Dunn, and places but little faith in tho mother-in-law's story. Mrs. Dunn was also interviewed. She says her husband is a drunkard and has abased her, but she does not believe him guilty of tho murder of Annie Leconey. Murdered by Apaches. Globe, A. T., July 16.
