THETOBIN INQUEST,

iOOIiN tlN0OCol
NEW YORK, May 20-The Staten Island
air was full of rumors today of startling
things that are to be developed at tomor-
row nighs's inquest in the mysterious case
of Miss Mary E. Tobin, whose body was
found week ago today floating in the
water off Clifton. 1t was limited that
there were some people in West Brighton
who could tell great deal about the case
if they would only thorow personal
considerations to to the winds, but who
these people are nobody was willing to
say.
If DR.. Bryan is called at the inquest to-
morrow night he will be found ready and
anxious to submit to the most thorough
cross examination as TO his final meeting
with Miss Tobin on April 10. He enjoys
the fullest confidence of the community.
A detective says that DIR. Bryan told him
night she disappeared she found him
lying on the lounge in his office. He
says that he was feeling unwell and
perhaps did not greet her as cordially
as was his won't. She might have
taken offence from this, DR.. Bryan
thought, but she certainly did not show
it, as they parted at the station the best OF
friends.
A theory advanced by some is that after
leaving DR.. Bryan she started to walk
across the railroad trestIe to Snug Harbor,
and missing her footing fell into the water
and was drowned. The clothing on the
body when found is now said to be satur-
ated with sludge acid, which is seen con-
stantly floating on the water in the kills
about Snug Harbor.
AS to the little purse which Miss Tobin
wore about her neck at all times, and
which was missing from her body, it is
thought, that as there about $50 in it be-
sides her own picture and that of Dr.
Bryan. it was distracted from the body by
some boatmen who found the body float
ing in the water before it was discovered
at Clifton.
1t is expected that the inquest will be
finished tomorrow evening at Rosebank.

TO enter the room, found it locked and the
key on the inside.
No further attention was paid to the &C.
cupant of the room until today, when a
waiter knocked at the door several times.
and finding it still locked at 1:30 o'clock. a
colored porter broughta chair and looked
on the bed dressed. but her face
was discolored by blood. The door
was forced open, and it was seen
that the woman had committed
suicide. On the bed at the right side of
her was 3S-caliber Smith G. Session re-
volver with one chamber discharged.
The ball entered the temple and remained
in the skull, The shot had evidently
been fired while she was in reclining po-
sition, and she then sank back on the bed
dying without struggle.
The corpse was elegantly dressed in
black silk dress with sealskin sacque.
Only the shoes and stockings were remov-
ed. The coroner was called, and an exam
ination showed S35 in package in the
bosom of her dress. Her trunk

Copyright 1889 by the Western Associated Press
APIA, Samoa, May 1.-The Associated
Press correspondent had an interview a
few days ago with Mataafa in which the
latter said his people felt very grateful for
the interest Americans had taken in their
cause: he had no desire TO fight TamaSeSe
or the Germans and would like to see the
United States declare protectorste over
Samoa. He thought that was the best
way to avoid trouble, as the natives We're

Another attack was made a week ago
by some of TamaseSe's men upon two of
Mataafa's party who were passing by the
camp. Both men were slightly wounded.
A number OF Mataafa's warriors were
greatly excited and wished TO attack
Tamasese, but were persuaded to allow
the incident to pass unnoticed.

PROTECTION TO SEAL FISHERIES.

WASHINGTON, May 20-Inquiry at the
department of state; based upon the report
from Ottawa that British war vessel is
to be sent to Behring sea to Investigate
seizures of illegal seal fishers, elected the
fact that nothing has been done by this
government in the matter since the is
suance Of the presidents proclamation,
which distinctly notified all nations of the
intention of the United States to protect
seal and fish life from depreciation. 1t is
presumed the treasury department,
the revenue marine service, will
carry out the provisions of the statutes
enacted to that end. At present the only
government vessels in Alaskan waters are
revenue cutters, but they will soon be re-
by the man-of-war Thetis, which
is now at San Francisco preparing for a
summer cruise.

THOUSANDS AFFECTED.
The Supreme Court Holds that Notaries
Public Cannot Take Oaths for
DEPARTMENTS,

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The opinion of
case of the United States VS.. John ID.
Hall was today subject to earnest discus
sion among officials of the general land
office. One of the points at issue was that
Hall had made oath before a notary pub
lie. The supreme court decided where an
oath is required by the United States stat
ute that the oath can be administered only
by an officer of the United States, hence a
notary public being a state officer cannot
administer oaths to United States officials,
except when the statutes specially state
the oath may be made before such state
official. This opinion, it is believed, Sc
riously affects the status of more than a
division alone of the general land Office
Deputy mineral surveyors have for sew
eral years, it is said sworn to the correct
ness of their statements before notaries
public. During the last four years a large
number of cases under the general land
laws has been received for patent at the
general land office where final proof was
not made before the office designated by
law for the purpose. Where no other err
ror was found they have been allowed to
go to patent. This policy was first adopt
ed by Secretary Villas. The opinion of the
supreme court has created alarm and a re-
quest for the Interpretation of section 1885,
revised statutes, has been sent Assistant
Attorney General Shields with particular
reference to the supreme court decision
and It's effect upond pending cases in tie

BLACKS CORRESPONDENCE.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-It undoubtedly
is a fact that General Black left on the
files of the pension office large amount Of
political correspondence which ought
never to have been put upon the files or
ever to have been written in government
office and that this correspondence has
come into the possession of Corporal
Tanner, the new commissioner of pensions.
The chief point of political interest con-
nected with the matter is whether
or not Commissioner Tanner will make
a public use of it. Mr.. Tanner has said
that he will not, and that while he is a po-
litical enemy. he is a personal friend of
General Black But Corporal Tanner will
find In his Office very important political
precedent as 10 just such correspondence.
1t happens that the predecessor OF General
Black left a personal political letter book
in the pension office. That letter
book General Black made much
public use of, and this letter book
figured very extensively in Democratic in
designations, speeches and campaign
books. 1t remains to be seen whether Cor
poral Tanner will follow the precedent set
by General Black himself. The cores
