INCOME TAX LAW.
Commissioner Miller Gives q Few Hint
Regarding the Act.


Regarding the Act.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Commissioner
Miller has been so much occupied de.
Gliding questions arising under the in.
ternal revenue of the new tariff law,
that required immediate decision, that
he has been able to bestow little atten.
tion upon the consideration of regula.
tions to carry into effect the provisions
of section q and subsequent sections
providing for the collection Of the in
come tax.
Commissioner Hitler said today that
regulations would be prepared in the
fullness Of time and that United STATE
disbursing officers would be held &C
countable for the colleetion Of the tax
on salaries of which they had the dis
bursement from the time when the law
wentinto effect, Aug. 2S. 1894, but ae-
tual payment would probably not be
required before July 1, 1895. This date,
July 1, he said, would also probably be
the date OF settlement for subsequent
years as to the income Of the preceding
calendar year.

BosToN. Sent. {

BOSTON. Sept. G.
m OVERNOR WILLIAM MKIN-
u ley. OF Ohio, arrived in Boston
I'm today on his way to Maine, to
vi to take part in the Reed cam
paign. The governor this afternoon
called upon his cousin, General o.
borne, in Roxbury, and, while there,
was interviewed on the political situa-
tion. Governor Mckinley said he
could not see how he tariff could be
other than the dom uant issue of the
next national campaign. Quoting the
words of President Cleveland. he said ::
The war is not over yet" The
Democrats as, their announcement indi-
Gates, purpose cutting deeper. and If
they attei1pt to do this, the Republi-
can party has no other course to fol.
low than . adhere to its principles
The tariff position in the west takes
the lead OF al other issues, even the
currency question. There is no way
for the Democracy to dodge this ques-
tion, which will undoubtedly be the
issue in the presidential campaign in
1896"
When asked relative to any aspira.
tions or ambition he might have for
the Republican presidential nomina,
tion, Governor Mckinley modestly
smiled and remarked that the Rspubli-
can party would be found true to its
tenets and would nominate one who
lead to victory in the next presidential
campaign.
Asked what the attitude Of the next
national Republican convention would
be on the silver question. Governor
Mckinley replied that the policy of the
Republican party was we'll defined in
the platform OF 1892 "The Republi-
can party" he sain, "has declared it
self in favor of the coinage of both gold
and silver, That position it occupied
today"
NO OPINION AS TO MIR. JONES
The governor was asked what the ef-
feet of the CONVERSION Of Senator Jones,
OF Nevada, who renounces his Republi.
canism to enter the fold of the Popu-
lists, would be. After meditating for
moment he replied: WELL don't
know"
1t was suggested that perhaps Sena-
tor Jones has never been very staunch
Republican. particularly in his attitude
on the silver question. To this sug-
gestion Governor Mckinley replied
firmly, HE was staunch Republi-
can,"
Asked as to the probable motive that
actuated Senator Jones, he said: 1T
would not be proper for me to attempt
to explain his position 1t was evil
dent however, that Governor Nc
Kinley regarded the loss of Senator
Jones serious one.
Referring to the coming congress
sional elections, the governor said that
he had not the slightest doubt that the
next house would be Republican. All
signs and indications, he said. point to
the success of the Republican ticket
throughout the country. AS to the
political complexion of the next United
States senate, he said that there were
80 many conditions that he did not
care to express his opinion.

Ii acter calculated to lower rather
II than raise the total number Of
W dead. There has been an in.
crease over previous estimates at
Hin ckley. but the prospect of any con-
siderable number still remaining in the
woods is decreasing. There are 1888
buried in Hinckley graveyard, and per.
haps dozen more buried at other
points in the vicinity. increasing the
total here to about 250, but the addi-
tional number here may be safely taken
away from the liberal estimate al.
lowed for those yet unfound, leaving
the total between 375 and 400.
Three of the bodies found today were
identified as the Oleson children. Their
mother is in the hospital at Minneapo-
lis badly burned. When she was here
at Pine City she was confident that her
husband and children were alive The
childred have now been found, and the
father is undoubtedly burned.
DR.. Morton, of Minneapolis, who
went over to Mora yesterday, reported
at Hinkley this afternoon that the total
dead at that point was twenty three
and that all the missing were account
ed for. A movement is in the air here
to do something by way of a testimon.
ial for the crews of the Duluth
and Eastern trains which took
out so many people. but it has
not taken definite shape. The
programme Of invitations to address
the gathering was sent to Bishop
Fowler, of Minneapolis, but the reply
was received that he was out of the
city. John Tallman, of ST. Paul, has
consented to write memorial ode.
The balance of the programme remains
to be arranged. Word was received
tonight from Fl. H. Hart that Cover
nor Nelson would visit the burned dis
trict. and would be present at Sunday
exercises if possible About 800 in
cash has been received, nearly all from
the smaller towns.
Beside the subscription of S. 900 II
cash to the relief fund President J. J.
Hill, Of the Great Northern road, has
given 5000 acres Of good agricultural
land for the Hinckley survivors. These
lands are valued at s. per acre, or $40,

A Spring Lock Held Them Tn-Thev
Chose the Fatal Spot to Hide From
Policeman.
HARTFORD, July 3o.-Raymond, 9. Le-
roy, z. and Freddie, 4. the children of
James Canton, locomotive engineer,
who have been missing since Thursday
afternoon, when they went to bathe in
the Connecticut river, were found dead
yesterday In the closet of a freight
caboose, standing on a side track, not 300
feet from their home.
After numerous searches for two days,
Chief of Police Bill had ordered the
freight cars and railroad property
searched, and two policemen were drawn
to the caboose yesterday by the smell of
decomposing flesh. In the trainmen's
closet. shut by a spring lock. they found
the three bodies entirely nude and badly
decomposed.
The inquest by Medical Examiner
Fuller discovered no evidences OF foul
play, and he gave a verdict of accidental
death by asphyxiation. The caboose
was newly painted, and the children went
in to play, a pack of cards being found n
the closet. 1t is supposed they closed the
door and could not open it and soon
suffocated in the sitting hot air Of the
narrow enclosure.
At theautopsy nothing was found to
indicate violence The condition of the
lungs indicated
Death by Sufrocstion. s
and the absence of effusion and other
MARKS about the neck precluded the
suspicion of strangulation.
The theory is that the little fellows ran
into the car to hide from passing po-
liceman Thursday afternoon, and that
the door of the closet swung to and
caught them in with the spring lock. The
closet is five foot high and its floor space
is 2S by 10 inches.
1t is impossible that the little boys
could have lived long In such conhned
space, and the doctors say they became
unconscious in Is or 20 minutes, and that
they did not live more than so minutes
after the door was locked on them.
The day they left home an older brother
had Just started for the public oatn
house to go in swimming. Raymond, {
Oldest of the three boys who disappeare~'
asked his mother if he could go alonr
She gave him permission and told him 20
run along and overtake his older brother
Instead of doing this he took MS Two
Younger brothers, unknown 10 MS
mother, and left the house. The oloer
brother saw nothing of them and did not
know Raymond had been given permis-
sion to go with him.
1t is supposed that the three boys had
taken off their clothes to play going IN
swimm as the idea was in their minds
when they left home
The car in which they were found stood
near the banks of the Park river. but as
its banks are walled it is not thought the
bows intended going in the water. They
were found within stones throw of the
house of their parents.

Report of tho Agricultural Bureaul For
the Week Ending July go


Boston, July 81. - The following
weather-crop bulletin for the past week
Is issued today by the New England
weather service:
Rain is needed in the vicinity of East
port and in southern Aroostook county.
but for the most part ali crops are max
ing extremely good growth. The hay
crop is being gathered fast with the
bright sunshine; pastures are holding out
well. In places the cat crop will be bet
ter than was expected few weeks ago, as
they are heading out very well, but in
sthers they are blighting and will not
amount to much.
| The first Of the week was cool, but hot
weather has prevailed for the last few
days and crops have dried somewhat in
south and central New Hampshire. The
shower of Sunday night has helped them,
though considerable damage was done to
corn and fruit by the wind accompanying
it. Corn is growing fast. except on the
very dry land. Potatoes are pronounced
good in the north. but backward in Rock
ingham county; gardens are in fine shape.
All central and southern Vermont
seems to have escaped most of the show
ers Of the week and most of the rain
of the previous week, and more rain
h needed. There has been plenty of
sunshine, and it has been improved in
rushing work in the bayfield,; some have
completed haying, with a good crop.
Berries are very Scarce in the southern
counties. Apples are reported to be
good crop in some places, while in other
orchards not far away there is hardly an
apple to be seen.
The extrem ly hot and dry weather
in the Bay state has dried the crops
and ground very rapidly. and in
the western, central and southern dis
tricts, where the showers of the Gath and
goth were light or only moderate in
amount, all crops are suffering for water
Paeturss are probably feeling the need Of
rain now AS much as anything; consider
able stock have to be fed from the barn or
depend on browse. Rowen is starting
very slowly, and the moved fields look
very bare; the outlook for second crop
has apparently not been SO poor for years
The weather was dry in Rhode Island,
though a smart shower on the oath gave
some relief in southern parts of the state,
in parts of Providence county no rain fell
at all and everything is suffering. Hay.
ing is about completed. Corn is growing
well in most places. In Washington
county a number of farmers are digging
their potatoes and find that the crop turns
out fairly well.
The drought continues very seriously in
Connecticut, the showers being mostly
local and giving very little rain, and only
temporary relief where they do come
Fruit is drying up and dropping. Corn
and xobacco, which have stood the
drought better than most crops, are now
drying and being greatly injured. Pas
lures and meadows are dry and brown.
and much feeding is being done from the
barn, and milk is shrinking very much.
