and by no other process. I'm being
treated humanely now and like it.
Perry was asked concerning his
treasure, said to be secTeted in the
vicinity of Little Falls. He admitted
that he had sum of money hidden
away but he refused to tell where OF
how much it amounted to.
II will say this much, said Perry.
"An express company has stated that
all that was taken by me was $4,000.
Now it amounted to a great deal more,
but how much I Won't say" Perry
gave the impression that the treasure
was buried further west than Little
Falls.
Perry viii be held in the New Jersey
prison until a requisitiOn can be pro-
cured by the Matteawan authorities.
The Chief OF Police and Mayor Of
Weehawken called at the Jail to-day
and told Warden Mitchell not to sur
render Perry until the $3.50 reward
had been paid over to Detective Ed
ward j. Clifford and Policeman Nc
Aleece. who captured the outlaw.

Keeper Coyle last night. When he saw

Internal Revenue officials Find Many

Internal Revenue Officials Find Many
Errors in Income Tax Returns.
washington, d. c., April 1.-THE
internal revenue officials positively de-
cline to make public any statement in
regard to income tax returns or to an
swer any questions relating thereto.
II is learned that the real cause Of this
reticence is the great number of blum
ders made by the collectors in their
telegraphic reports received yesterday
and to-day. Who is blameable for this
state of things is not stated, but the re-
suit is that from what has been re-
ceived no intelligent estimate can yet
be given out OF the number or the
amount Of the returns on file with the
collectors. 1t is undoubtedly true that
a large percentage of the number Of
Dersons subject to the law has made moi
return at all. and in consequence the
oficials see ahead of them vast
amount OF litigation and trouble.

STRAIGHT OUT FOR FREE SILVER.

Another Prominent Illinois Democrat
Makes His Position Known-The Leaders
Startled.
Chicago. April 1.-THE uncertainty
Of the Democratic party of Illinois on
the silver question was further en-
phasized to-day by the action Of ex-
Judge Samuel p. Mcconnell, in coming
out in an extended interview as an out
and-out advocate Of the free coinage OF
silver.
The utterance of Mr. Mcconnell is
particularly significant owing to the
fact that he holds prominent position
in the councils Of his party locally, was
mentioned as a candidate for Mayor, is
president of the Iroquois Club, and is
said to have his eyes on the guberua-
torial nomination.
Judge MsCOnnel's straight-out talk
startled the party leaders not a little.

THE EFFECT ON BUSINESS

a Prominent OH Man Discusses the Eject
the Recent Boom IN OH win Have on
Business Generally.
Pittsburg. April 17.-David Kirk,
one of the best posted men in the oil
business, in discussing the present
boom i'm oil said;
Petroleum viii be the means Of
bringing the country out of the period
of depression that has prevailed for
the past two years. That was the case
i'm 1873. when our finances were at a
low ebb. Oil made the first advance
and as il went up in price the bust
ness of the country improved. The
same was true IN 1884. The most i'm
pOrtant effect of the increased price
on the finances OF the country will be
the increase in the amount of gold
brought into the country in payment
for the petroleum we export Oil is
paid for i'm yellow gold and is one of
our most important exports. We ship
something like 20O00,O0O barrels an
nua,y. and with the price hanging
about fifty cents, the aggregate receipts
from this source only amount TO about
S10.000.000 Now with oil at the pres
ent prices we would receive some
thing like S45.OOO.000 for our exports.
This would be q clear gain Of $S5,00O,-
600 a year. which would go far to-
wards offsetting the heavy exports Of
gold during the past two years.
But that is not the only influence
at work. There are internal improve
ments that are already here and will
continue to grow all the year Our man
ufacturers are already feeling The
boom. ! think the oil interests viii
use considerable more than twice as
much iron of all kinds this year as tney
did last. lMs viii give employment
TO hosts of men who viii become good
buyers and so create q better market

Pittsburg, Pa, April 1.-THE Asso-
citation of Iron and Steel Manufactur-
ers met here to-day and advanced the
price on all finished products one
tenth of cent pound or 81 ton.
The manufacturers also paved the way
for another increase on July i by
adopting a resolution that no orders be
taken beyond that date, even at ad-
vanced prices. One of the manufac-
turers who was in the meeting stated
that the intention was to make anoth-
er advance of 81 on July 1. The reason
assigned for the advance is the in
creased prices for new raw materials.
AS almost all the output of black plate
is controlled by this association, this
will cause an advance on tin plate.

LIBBY PRISON TO BE DEMOLISHED
The old Libby prison, with which there
are SO many associations OF Responding
spirits and pinched stomachs, was some
years ago taken down from its original
site on the James river and rebuilt in
all its erimness in Chicago. 1t never
was itself pretty building, and its as
sociations do not help the fancy to in
vest it with any suggestions of beauty.
But Chicago wanted it, just as she
wants everything that she thinks VIII
draw, even if it be nothing more tnan
attention. The old prison did not prove rUs e
the attraction that was expected. Inc
old soldiers did not 60 around as nu =
merously as. was anticipated to hunt up
the foot by i've to six feet strips OF moor POI?
which once constituted their respective
coucbes The charm, however, did
lot work to bring large crowds or much
profit to the prison exposition manage
ment. The ancient Bastile was scarce
" noticed during the great Worlds
Fair. So now the energetic but disap
pointed city proposes to let it go. The
land on which it stands is advertised
for rent and it will probably soon be
torn down and be replaced by build
ing more handsome to look at and OF
more festive observation-disclosures Post.
