New York, Sept. 5.-A peculiar will

tained the following: II further re-
quest that IL I die I give my dead

The body of Ellen Bodine was opened
as Delgado had been arrested I'm New
ark. charged with performing a GRIM
inal operation on the woman. The re-
suit Of the autopsy proved that the
woman died from natural causes, and
Delgado was vindicated.
He said that the woman had no pos
sessions. and that he had been simply
her good friend for two years. He de-
clared that her relatives had tried 10
extort money from him by n criminal
prosecution and It cost him 800 to Sc
cure his freedom. He had nothing but
kind words for the dead woman. He
visited her in the hospital often. and
his friendship was the one bright spot
In her life. She was a charity patient
in the hospital where she died. and her
body was all that she had to leave to

NO BOUNTIES TO co
A Decision by Comptroller Bowler
That Will Make Sugar Men Sour.
1T IS NOT CONSTITUTIONAL
Congress Had No Right to Tax the
Whole People for the Benefit
OF Few-MIlllons of Doll
lars Involved.

Washington. Sept 5.-R. B. Bowler,
the comptroller OF the treasury. to-day
rendered an opinion In the now cele-
brated oxnard sugar bounty claim. In
which he holds in effect: First, that
he. as comptroller. has Jurisdiction of
the case: and second, in his opinion,
the act OF March 9. 1895. making the
sugar bounty appropriation. is uncon-
stitutional. He, however. decided that
the papers In the case be sent to the
court of claims for the rendition of a
Judgment in order that there may be
furnished precedent for the future ac-
tlon OF the executive department In the
adjustment OF the class of cases in
volved in these sugar bounties." The
particular claim decided to-day Is sub
stantially on the same footing as all
other sugar bounty claims for satisfac-
ton of which congress at Its last ses-
sion appropriated s5.a3s,2s9.
The comptroller answers at great
length the argument presented by
counsel at the hearing. In which his ju-
risdiction was attacked. and in the
course OF his reply he says statutes
which do not conform to the constitu-
tion are not law and therefore. when a
statute Is In apparent conflict with the
constitution. 1t becomes the duty OF
the executive officer to determine for
himself as between the statute and the
constitution whether the statute Is the
law. AS to the constitutionality of the
act the comptroller says In part that
the principle has long been decided
that taxation must be for a public pur-
pose; that an attempt to take money
from the people by the forms of taxa
tion for purpose other than a public
one. Is not an exercise of leglslativ,
power. and therefore that an attempt
to do so Is mere nullity as an effort
by the legislature to exercise power
not granted by the constitution. BY a
refusal to pass the claims the ultimate
rights Of the claimants are In no way

Blow Up the Rothschilds Bank.

Paris. Sept. 5.-M. Rothschilds' bank
ing house was the scene to-day of an
other nihillstic attempt. At $40 o'clock
a man entered the bank from the Rue
Tafitte. In the vestibule detective
on guard saw the stranger trying to
light the fuse OF bomb with cigar
cite. The ashes on the end Of the cigar
ette prevented the ready ignition OF
the fuse and the man. seeing he was
observed. threw the bomb on the car
peted floor. The weapon did not cx-
plode. and the man was arrested. At
the police station he boldly avowed
himself an anarchist.
According to another account, when
the man with the bomb was arrested
he was ascending the first stair case
leading to the banking office and light
ed match. When he saw that he had
been detected he threw the bomb to the
ground and ran to the street. being
pursued by the bank detective. He
made n desperate attempt to use a ra-
zor before he was overpowered by the
detective and a policeman who came

When taken to the prefecture he refus-
ed 10 give his name or occupation. AT

by Inspector Carnette. acting in the alb
sence OF Commissioner Guerin. He OBJ
stinately refused to talk. and was TAX
en- to the central prison. There he be-
came more communicative. and openly
professed anarchistic theories. declar-
ing he intended the bomb as an anar-
chistic demonstration. He said the
bomb was composed OF chloride Of pot
assium and blasting powder and con-
talned no projectile. His act. he said
was 4 protest against the proceedings
Of the bankers. He had travelled
through France. never remaining long
in the same place. in order not to awak-

pense OF society. The news OF the out
rage spread rapidly In Paris and many
