Claimed Most Western and Southern
States Arc Short Of Their Quota.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-In the last
appropriation bill, providing for the
blue book, which gives the list Of per-
IONS holding positions in the different de-
partments, q provision was inserted re-
quiring that . list of employees by states
be furnished. This provision has been
carried out in the book just published.
Representative Houck Of Tennessee
has made . comparison of these figures
with the census Of 1890, showing the
number Of Offices each state would be
entitled to if according to the popula-
ton. His object is to show
that many states, the South in
particular has not a just proportion.
His figures show that tho States Of
Alabama Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia
have but 2,545 persons in Office, about
800 less than the District of Columbia.
iMr. Houck thinks the civil service COM
mission should make no more certificates
from states which have a full quota, and
that those which have more than their
share should be speedily reduced.
It is quite likely that an amendment
will be offered to the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill,
directing that the apportionment of
Offices be equalixed according to the
population of states.

Those Found at Oregon Were Genuine,
But Not Valuable.
WASHINGTON. Jan. ab.-Special Agent
George F.. Kuntz of the geological sur
.vey has sent to DR.. David T. Day, chief
of the mineral division, a re-
port on two recent diamond finds. He
says: ''In October, 1898, a small boy
while playing on a farm that had been
under cultivation for 40 years, located
near Oregon, Wis, picked up a small
semi-transparent pebble from a bank of
clay that contained large number Of
quartz pebbles. The stone was taken to
Prot. w. Fl. Hobbs OF the university Of
Wisconsin at Madison, and it was found
to be a genuine diamond. It was sent
to New York for further investigation
and proved to be an elongated dedeca-
podal crystal weighing 3-s carats. Its
color is slightly grayish green. This,
however, is only superficial, and it will
undoubtedly be when cut a white stone,
although not Of great value, as it con
tains some minute specks in the center
and has a pronounced flaw on one side.
This find is particularly interesting in
connection with the finding of three
small diamonds at Blue Creek. Wis, in
1890. Quite recently q diamond was
found near the Kings mountains which
weighed Sd carats, It is of a light
canary color and has q remarkably
brilliant surface"

RIGHTS OF BREEDS.
The Interior Department Ruling Will
Probably he Reversed.

Probably BE Reversed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-A new COM
plication has been discovered in the
matter Of the rights of Indians of mixed
blood, and 1t is now confidently pre-
dicted that the department of justice
will advise the secretary of the interior
that his general rule laid down in the
decision in what is known as the Wal
dron or Black Tomahawk case, now
under review, must be reversed. It
appears that in 1883 congress passed q
law declaring that thereafter an Indian
woman marrying a white man should
become q citizen of the United States,
and that she and her issue should
have no r%ations, allotments or
other rights al Indians in the
dealings of the general government
with the tribes. This statement in ex-
act terms that in the future this was to
be the ruling seems to imply that up to
that time a contrary Interpretation had
been recognized, and that land titles es-
tablished prior to that time were to be
undisturbed. The attention of the de-
partment of justice has been directed to
that statute, and it is safe to say the
rule which it will lay down will be con
formable to that statute. This would
involve a removal of the doctrine laid
down in the Waldron decision that an
Indian child of mixed Indian and white
parents follows the status of it's father,
except in cases arising since the passage
of the law referred to.

NO r RIGHT.

Mr.. oxnard Talks About the Proposed
Sugar Bounty Reduction.
New York, Jan. 18.-Henry T. Ok
nard of Nebraska, president of the
American Beet Sugar association, is at
the Waldorf hotel. Naturally he is op-
posed to that portion Of the Wilson tar
if bill which proposes to reduce the
bounty on sugar produced in this coun-
try from beets.
II take the position" he said, "that
congress has no moral right to repeal
that part of the Mckinley act which
places the bounty on sugar, because a
definite time was fixed for it to operate.
We regard this as in the nature of a
contract"
Mr.. Oxnard said that the quantity of
beet sugar produced in this country in
1893, according to the closest estimate,
was $4,000 tons, an increase of about
$4,000 tons over the previous years pro-
duction. He has been il Washington
making a protest against the repeal of
the sugar bounty paragraph of the tariff
act of 1890.

ADMITTED MURDER
The Proprietor of the Cream City
Hotel at Milwaukee Confesses
q Crime.
He &rangled an Aged Guest and
Then Set Fire to Her
Room.
Business Had Been Bad and He
Did the Deed to Secure Her
Money.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. l6.-Rudolph j.
Pechmann, proprietor of. the Cream
City hotel, in which Mrs. Schrum was
found dead after the building was
partly destroyed by fire last Friday
morning, confessed at noon the he
strangled his aged guest for the purpose
of robbing her, and afterwards fired her
room. He failed to secure the woman's
money. Pechmann is snow in Jail.
Pechmann said business had been poor
with him for two years. He knew Mrs.
Schrum had money, and it occurred to
him that he might manage to secure it.
For a week before the fatal night he
watched every movement of his victim.
just before he was going to bed last
Thursday he heard Mrs. Schrum get
up and 60 to another room. He con-
cluded that his chance had come, and he
went into her room. When tho old
lady returned he threw a blanket
over her head and choked her to
death. He then made a search
but could find nothing. He then went
down stairs and told his wife tho old
lady was dead and that they might help
themselves to whatever they might find.
She refused to accompany him up stairs
and he returned alone to make another
search. Upon his return to the room he
found that Mrs. Schrum showed signs of
recovery and he choked her again.
Their he set fire to the place and threw a
lamp upon the floor. While the fire
was spreading Pechmann made a
final search for money, but was
again unsuccessful. When there was a
prospect that the FIRE would leave him
worse off financially than when he com.
mitted the terrible deed, the murderer
called the fire department. Mrs. Pech.
mann will not be arrested, as she had
no knowledge that her husband intended
to secure the money by committing
murder. The whereabouts of the muir.
dered woman's money is still a mystery,

CHICAGO, Jan. 16. - George NJ.
Bogue, one of the most prominent
business men of Chicago, has been
accused of the misappropriation of
about $75, 900 of the funds of the Pres.

that there is some ENHANCEMENT with
the hospital, but says any discrepancy
will be made up Immediately.
Last summer he made an as
Segment and withdrew from the
big real estate firm of Bogue

of the hospital funds was the result of
his financial embarrassment. Among
the transactions developments regarding
the sale of Rev. Anderson's home, which
was the subject of a suppressed lawsuit,
show that Mr.. Bogue paid DR.. Anderson
10000 or $4,000 to avoid going into
court over this matter. Another pecu-
liar deal occNrred about two years ago.
Henry A. Phipps of Phipps, Carnegie &
Co., Pittsburg, sent to Bogue q check
for 7 5000. to take up a note
given for the purchase of acre property.
Mr.. Phipps came here himself to find, it
is said, that only $4,000 had been paid
Of the ga, 900 sent on, and that Mr..
Bogue was using the balance. Mr.
Bogue, in an interview, explains that
this matte" was adjusted" The
finance committee of the hospital is
making an investigation but the institu.
tion's officials refuse to talk regarding
the probable outcome of the affair.
