Washikotoh, June 28. Miss Phoebe Couzins filed a voucher for salary for Hay as secretary of U18 board of lady managers of the World's Fair with Assis tant Secretary NdUloton of the troaaury department to-day, together with a brief in support of her claim. - 1 he brief lain two parts, the first bar ing been prepared by W. P. Black and & B. Waite, and the. other by Rdoerf n . ' T The cam isrevivied in all its bearings and an elaborate argument is prepared to show that Miss Cousins ia still the legal secretary of ihe board of lady managers. It ia contended that while tit commission had the power to pre- . scribe the rules of the board, it could not - "control, direct or tupervise the board in the exercise of its power, nor in the agencies by which, or the methods in which, that board would perform the dnhes prescribed by the commission." - It is asserted that the executive con mitteeof the board aa constituted "is ... , utterly irresponsible for the creation of : the office of president of the board," and - the following comment ia made on the so-called sub-oommittee: ' "Surely a sub-committee chosen from .'. the personal appointees of one ladyjww ever gifted and however dazzling her social position, was not a body which congress contemplated when It adopted section 0 of the act providing for the world's commission to exercise the funo ' - -' tions of the board of lady managers pro! I tided for in that section.1 - The attempt to substitute this little . coterie of personal appointees for the magnificent body of the representative women originally selected by the oom- - - missioners in the performance of the - - i duty in that behalf imposed upon it, when coupled with the publicly declared pol icy that no. further meeting of the board of lady managers is ever to be called, and that all the duties of the board are to be performed in perpetuity by the ex ecutive committee of that board or a :,.-f . sub-committee thereof, this effect furn .. ishes snfiieient oooasion for the straggle . which Is being made by Miss Cousins to , ' maintain the dignity and defend Jthe rights of the board of lady managers; gives sufficient concern to those who be- - lieve that this legislation of congress would afford 'a fitting opportunity for the representative women of America to - show what Is in their power.when called - upon to participate in the transaction of a great national enterprise like the ex position and who now behold,tbis oppor tunity about to be destroyed by aa ef- .-' fort to transfer all the powers of this - - board of lady managers to a single . woman, acting in conjunction with an . - executive committee, so-called, or sub- - committee of such executive committee ' illegally appointed by herself, and thus action in subjection to the executive committee of the commission and its ? : . director general, thus becoming merely ; subordinates of certain officers of the : commission." " j;. : '. Inclosing their brief , Messrs. Black . and Watte say: Jn her fight in tills case, Miss Cousins is not simply struggling to retain the oflice on account of its emolu ments or the personal benefits which she might derive from the exercise of its . prerogatives or the performance of its duties. She is hmiHting that she holds her commission by virtue of the action of the board of lady managers, and that - the board must pass upon the question of her retention of the office, and as to whether she has faithfully performed all the duties devolved upon her by her election as secretary of the board of lady matin ' -rs, and she is doing this benause she r; " to be a party, even by acqui evm e to t'.e Cuiirae of procedure, the necesaary tendency of which (if not the intention) is toward ll.e destruction of the orgnniKation itattlf the limitation of the board of Luly niauu. ia from all ac tive part;.

INTERNAL REVENUE MONEY i The Tlsesl Tsar Jut CkmIub Skews aa I- win at ai.ses.iMa. ' Washington, June 26. The collec tions of internal revenue during the first eleven months of the fiscal year ending July 1 next were $'81,887,407, an in crease of $1,205,045 over the receipts during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The receipts by items were as follows : Spirits $75,100,- 203, decrease $4iq,449 ; tobacco $30,295, 067, decrease $749,786 ; fermented liq uors $25,258,608, increase $2,007,890; oleomargarine $992,746, Increase $334y 299 ; miscellaneous $340,788, increase $09,995. The aggregate receipts for May, 1891, were $4,183,533 less than for May, 1890. - : ..-:. '--j ... HOW TRB DSCBKASB IB aUDB TJT. The decrease is made up as follows : Prints $3,864,807, tobacco $1,184,789, fermented liquors $70,194, oleomargarine $5,546, miscellaneous $3,246, , . Commissioner Mason says that the de crease on spirits, fermented liquors and oleomargarine is due almost entirely to the fact that the ant of Oct. 1, 1890, chanced the date of the beginning of the special tax year from May 1 to July 1, and that the decrease on tobacco is due to the repeal by the same act of all siie- cu.l taxi relating to tobacco. In his opinion the receinU from spirits andfer mented liquors will be unusually large during the month of July by reason of the change referred to. ta VnmX Verdict, LrrTLK Kock, Ark., June 25.

The Offlon lataaatly Iomitxl aa Do Tfc.tr Watk Srlwdldlr-A Hick Opia tes e! CsBtata tlBM aaa tM Vadeta. Chick amaug a, June 26. Beyond all question, the moat successful sham battle which has ever taken place In Georgia came of here to-day. The United States officers have been planning It two or three days and the manner In which It was carried out shows how well their Instruction ia received. . . "v Capt. Field, of the army, planned the i battle. ' An enemy," supposed to have been entrenched behind a rock wall on the east side of too parade ground, was what led the soldiers on. The skirmish line was formed by the Southern Cadets and Savannah Ca dets. They were supporte t by the Valdosta Videttes and the Dawson Guards. Col. Bell ly commanded the right wing and Col. Wright the left. The fight began by the skirmish line advancing and firing. The Sa vannah Cadets carried oat the cere mony by bugle and the Southern Ca dets were commanded by Captain Sims admirably. 1 " ' ,' THK CROWD CHEERED, V As the men stretched into a long line and crept across the lawn the people began to wave their handker chiefs and bata. As they advanced by rushes to the front the reserves dashed forward to the Bkirmish line. Capt. Guerry was followed up by skirmishers until the word was giv en, then he ran back and lacerating the air with his sabre he gave the order and the men ran forward. The advance kept up steadily to the brow of the hill, where the enemy's ad vance guards were supposed to have been posted. As they went forward firing, the smoke began to hide the men and the crowd surged forward. Just then there was a shout on the left and Captain Flannery, command ing the Greens, Lieut McHarrle at the Oglethorpes and. Captain Dixon of the Blues appeared over the hill running up to support the sklrmlah erar . All the reserves were then brought Into action and skirmishers having reached the brow of the hill a general charge was made. ". - t; FIWK MILITABY WOBK..V This was a beautiful piece of ma neuvering. The men ran and fired while the officers waved their sabres and pressed their men onward. : Capt. Jlansell, of the Thomasville Guards, was enthusiastic and he ap peared as much excited as if he were in the heat of battle, f : - Col. Mercer stood In rear of the men and watched the battle, fie seemed to be very much Interested and followed as the men advanced. Captain Guerry, of the Dawson Guards, was the first to mount the brick wall and flourish his sword' tri umphantly, and Capt Peoples noon appeared on top of the wall, waving his hands and sabre at the men. The men reached the wall and the color bearers scaled the wall and planted the flags there. The men stood be hind the wall and continued firing, Those to the left lay down and fired. The left line, comprising the Greens, the Oglethorpes and the Blues, de- ployed across the green and executed a loft half wheel, which carried Jhem ! Into the loft flank of the battalion in front. They then swungln and pass- In; over the men lying down they began to fire and protect them, V . When the others fell back the last reserve continued to fire and they fell back firing. , ? . THK SHOOTS WEBB DEAFENING. When the men fell back and marched to their tents the shouts were deafening. The Seventh bat talion drew up in line as It ap proached Col. Mercer, and he deliv ered thnm a short address. The idea and plan of battle was Capt ITi U'a. It was a phase of a battle and not a real sham tattle, al though it a. ., rod the e me pur po'o.

'y u : ,:1.Zj.:y.-ly: Ablut a fortnight ago it was -learned that Captain Cooper had been given the job to run this forger .down, and some days ago heard from Lansing, Uich.,that the captain had his man. but that Kel logg was disposed to fight the granting of requisition papers by the governor of Michigan. . 1 . - 1 .

For the past two days Captain Ciooper has been expected on every train from the West, The detective and his man were in the forward1 passenger car on the train when it reached LaVilla junc tion this noon, i They missed connection at Jesup last night which delayed them a half day. They have been traveling for jour or five days and were travel- stained and tired. v i v .:v ;, Kellogg was hand-cuffed and his feet were manacled. Be was chained to the car seat, Kellogg is a man about 80 or 35 years old, of slight build, dark com plexioned, stoops considerably, and alto gether he is not very - preposs seeing in appearance. He ia nearly bald, on the top of his head, and what hair he basis cropped short.. .About a week's growth of black beard disfigured his face, and be wore a decidedly dejected appear ance, ' , ' I have had a hard time," said Cap tain Cooper, "but I stuck to it and got my man. '. I have been traveling almost constantly for two weeks, and have been all over Michigan. They have tried to stand me oft" up there, but didn't suc ceed. This man here is the fellow who did the forging without the slightest doubt ' "What will you do with him? Turn him over to the county authorities?" , "No. I was employed by Dr. John C. L'Engle, and I shall turn the ' 'game over to him to do with him as he likes.' By this time the train . was in the Waycross depot "Come along," said Captain Cooper to the prisoner, and the man obeyed, as a look of hopeleasnes passed over his face. ' When he stopped into the aisle, however, his manacles in terfered with hia walking and be asked to have them removed. ; The detective said "no," and the two passed out onto the platform. Mr. Henry tt. Aird, ot the State Bank of Florida.met them there and conducted them to a carriage. The . three were then driven to the bank, on the corner of Bay and Main Streets, and retired to a private room for a conference with Manager L'Engle. Fifteen minutes later Captain Cooper, came out with hisi prisoner and took him over to Coleman's barber shop for a bath, shave, etc. . . It turns out that tbe man s real name ia Rowell, not Kellogg, and while in the bank witb Dr. l En&ie ne confessed bis guilt "We shall turn him over to the county authorities this afternoon." said Dr. lyh)nirle. "He will be arraigned in the county criminal court at onoe, and has agreed to plead guilty to the charge of forgery. ' He further says that the forgeriee were all bis own work and the be had no confederates.'' Rowell was arraigned in court and plead guilty and was sentenced to two years in the Stale's prison at hard work.. BRAVE YOUNG. BROKAW.

Aa Kr Wltaess Psserlbss the smklns ml . : tae BlMnlawlsta,' 8 am Fbakcibco, June ft, Capt. F. B. Nesmith has arrived ia this city after a stay of eight months in Chili. - He was an eye witness of the naval battle be tween the insurgent cruiser Blanco En calado and the government torpedo boats Al rail-ante Oondell and Amironte Lynch. He was on .board the English schooner Sophie May, which was anchored 600 yards from the Encalado, and thus ob tained a good view of the fighk. ' '". ; The government entered the harbor of Coldero, where the Encalado was at anchor, early on frejrforning of April 2$; " Whe'a withfn3u0; yards of the insurgent ship the Condell fired two torpedoes. Both miwed. The Lynch then fired two torpedoes at a distance of 100 yards, which also went wide of the mark. For nearly an hour the vessels kept up an incessant cannonade without nsing any more torpedoes, and the gov ernment vessels got the worst of it, During the period the insurgent trans port Aconcagua entered the harbor and joined hi the fight It looked as if the two torpedo boats would be defeated when finally the Lynch made a rush for the Encalado. ' When forty yards dis tant she fired a torpedo which struck tbe insurgent ship amidships.' A terrible ex plosion followed, and the Encalado im mediately began to sink, but her guns' kept on firing and one of the last shots demolished the Lynch's smokestack. At least five or six shots were fired into the Vessel after the torpedo struck her. The officers attempted to get ont the boats, but in five minutes the ship sank and 171 of the crew were drowned. -. '-, , The Condell and Lynch next attacked the Aconcagua, when the Imperiale, j which was stationed outside, signalled the approach of another warship, and the torpedo boats immediately steamed out of the harbor and made preparations to attack the new arrival. , She proved to be Her Majesty's ship Warsprite, but the Condell did not discover it and fired a gun to call the stranger to account. The Condell soon discovered its mistake and f ut about, and with fhe Lynch pro ceeded to Valparaiso for repairs. The official report of the fight made to President Balmaceda states : that the Condell recei-ed a charge of caniste which killed two men and wounded five others. Fifty-two tubes' in the boilers burst, and the stokers were nearly aa phyxiated. The Lynch was struck four teen times by solid shot, one striking below the - water line. Commodore Mont, oommander of the Encalado, was on shore during the fight.' t. v, f'- Capt. Lambton, of the Warsprite, in conversation with Capt. .Nramith, said the destruction of the Encalado did no develop any new feature in naval wart fare, and it was only a surprise, pure and simple. The captain of the Encalado admitted he was responsible for the loss of his ship. . He had no picket boats ont, no torpedo nets in place, no lookout on board nor guns in readiness.- No pre cautions whatever were mad against a night attack or surprise. At the time Capt, Nesmith sailed for the north on May 14 it was reported a battle had oc curred at Coquimbo and that many peo ple had been killed. . - Itmn OvettwaraV ' Nkw York, June 80.

At present he is ' mucL depressed on account of the-towes experiemcd by the- administration of ' the St Per"s pence. These losses are due to the, economic crisis at . Rome. The vat loan ; has lost a large part of its funds in the, Banco di Roma and otlur Italian financial societies. Moreover,' large sums have .been lent to several Bonian princes. Bcurgliesi,' Gabriel! and Bonoompsgni, and as these hat themselves suffered great losses, the holy see is unable at present to realize oa these investments. , , . THE VATICAN S QAPITAli, Ihe Vatican baa divided its capital In- ' to two parts, one of which has been in vested in foreign vnks, as 1,000,000 left by Pius IX was placed in English oanka. While this docs not bring in very much interest, the interest fa sure. ' Ihe other part has been invested with a view of obtaining much higher interests In certain Roman speculations. These . investments at first brought in very large sums, but the recent crisis has de-. predated their value. ' ; - ' T : - Till LOSS. ' - It ia estimated that these investments amount to 13.000,000 lire ($2,400,000), of Which 1,000,000 lire will undoubtedly ' be lost. The statement that these loesen are due to bourse speculations is un founded, but the adminstrators of the vaticaa funds have certainly displayed a want of practical business capacity. Warm commendation is bestowed .by r those who are aware of the facta, upon the pope for his kiodheartednees in de- siring to give assistance to'' the per sons whd had been most faithful to the ' holy see, and who through force of cir cumstances found themselves in serious financial enbarrassment.
