SEARCH For BURIED GOLD
A minneapolis Man Spent Two Months
a False Ciew.

MINNEAPOLIS, March l0.-A Minneapolis
man spent two months this winter search
ing for pirates buried treasure of gold
and jewels in one of the West India islands.
Captain Erchter Mcleod, who commands
whaleback steamer between Duluth and
Buffalo, claimed to have learned from an
old sea captain just before the latter's
death of the exact location of a 5000, 600
treasure on one of the Spanish islands.
He went with small party from New
York in steam yacht, armed with q
chart of the island. He claims to have
found the gold, but said it was impractic-
able to take it away, owing to the fact
that Spanish soldiers were working on the
island digging guano, A plan was formed
to go after the treasure at more con-
venient time.
Meanwhile Captain Mcleod came TO
Minneapolis to visit his sister, and told the
story of the treasure. lie was careful,
however, to name the wrong island as the
spot In his story he said the treasure
was on Mona Island, whereas the real spot
was nine hundred miles away. Among
those who heard the story In Minneapolis
was Henry Stone. He made the trip to
Mona, but of course failed to find the
treasure.

AGAINST INCOME TAX.
Determined Effort to Eliminate It
from the Tariff Bill.
MR.. HILL WILL LEAD THE ATTACK.

Democratic Members of the Senate FL
nance Committee, However, VIII Make
Stubborn Fight for What They Con-
slider n Popular Feature of tho Measure
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Undoubtedly
there will be a determined effort when the
tariff bill reaches the senate to have the
income tax feature of the bill eliminated,
and 1t looks as if the Democratic senators
who are not satisfied with the bill would
make this portion of it their chief point of
attack Senator Hill will lead off in the
assault upon the income tax in his forth
coming speech, and he probably will be
supported by Senators Smith, Brice, Muir
ply and n few other Demo ratio senators,
as well as by maiority of the Republican
senators. The opponents of the tax claim
that the bill will provide sufficient reye-
nue. to meet the requirements of the gov
ernment without the additional amount
which the levy on incomes would give,
and that because of this fact there is no
longer any excuse for it.
The majority, If not all the Democratic
members of the finance committee how
ever, will hold out stubbornly for the tax.
One of them has said that he believed it
to be the most popular feature of the bill,
Democratic votes on an meIdment to
strike out this part of the bill they would
get the votes of all three of the Populist
senators and of about ten of the Re
publican senators.
After clearing the calendar of a number
OF bills of minor intert the senate, at 3
O'Clock yesterday, took up the seigniorage
bill. After an agreement that vote
should be taken on the motion to recon
slider Mt o'clock next Wednesday, and on
the final passage of the bill at the same
hour on Thursday, Mr.. Villas addressed
the senate in opposition to the bill His
speech was of a fragmentary description,
owing to numerous Interruptions. The
senate went into executive session at 5
O'Clock, and when the doors We're reopened
adjourned until Monday.
The house devoted the entire day to the
consideration of the District of Colum-
bia appropriation bill. The only feature
of interest was the wholesale charges of
corruption made by Mr.. Kigore against
the press of the city and the warm defense
OF the press by Mr.. Blair. Two amend
ments of Mr.. De Almond, one to wholly
eliminate the government as a tax paying
factor in the expenses of the district, and
the other to reduce the share borne by the
general government from une-half to one
third were Defeated

MONTREAL, March 10.-Ex- Lieutenant
Governor Royal, of Northwest Territories,

Victoria, and an ultra-loyal servant of
the Dominion government, has issued
brochure urging the separation of Canada

tion shows signs of insufficiency Her
equipment grows worse and worse for the
definite attainment of tranquility within
her borders, and her equilibrium is men

that Canada has the right to seek indie
pendence il she wants to. England has
offered her freedom at times and Canada,
by taking large measures of self govern

clares that the Canadian people have the
right to study aud seek in the evolution
OF their own destiny. The people have the
potentiality of great nation, being pos
sessed of u thoroughly consolidated terri
tory.
In chapter five Mr. Royal shows that
Canadas critical commercial position
makes change necessary. Hcrgreat com
nercial relations are with the United
States. England only comes second. Pro-
lection is necessary for our manufacturers,
yet we need large markets for them, which
can only be obtained by the exercise of in

us commercially from the United States,
would mean suicide. Free trade would
be no better Mr.. Royal claims that the
fruit of emancipation is ripe, aud must be
plucked now to benefit by it, Canada must
take the first step toward separation, as
she is only an embarrassment to the
mother country. True, She would lose the
protection of the British flag, but the
United states has no interest in the CON
quest of Canada by force of arms. Mr..

NEW YORK, March 10.-R G. Dun g. Co. 8
weekly review of trade says: Evidences of

much trade as they safely can into those

The most distinct gain is in iron and
steel manufacture. The output of pig

creased 10 per cent. during the month,
though 1t is still 37.8 per cent. less than
year ago 1t is also stated that some
other furnaces have gone into blast since

made practically no increase in February,
so that the actual consumption in all
branches of the manufacture is at least
10 per cent. greater than in November,
December or January. Yet prices are tho
lowest ever known.

passages of Breckinridge-poll affairs,

respectable and dignified family physician
played minor part in the testimony.
Also there were letters read, kilograms,
and four mysterious books taken from a
Cincinnati convent.
Major Moore testified that he met Miss
Pollard, accompanied by Colonel Breck-
tnridge, in his office, May l3. 1893. He
said: The door was suddenly thrown
open, when Colonel Breckinridge came in,
closely followed by Indy. He said that

He had notes of this interview also,
which he read. Miss Pollard had drawn
from her bosom a revolver, declaring that
II she had occasion to do so she would use
it upon herself and him.
There was II stir of excitement through
out the room as Major Moore, continuing,
said: "Iie told her that She could not ac-

flowers, or seduced her; that the first time
he saw her he took liberties with her, and
the second night he slept with her.
Except the half dozen connected with
the case there were no ladies in court, but
long lines of men, like the crowds before
