cause.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Secretary and
Mrs. Carlisle left today for Marion,
where they will be the guests of Assist
ant Secretary Hamlin, with whom they
spent some time in the early part of the
summer. The secretary, while away,
undoubtedly will see the president, whose
summer home is only a short distance
from Marion; but it is authoritatively
stated at the treasury department that
the meeting will have nothing whatever
to do with bond issue. The further
statement is made that no bond issue is
in contemplation and that none is ex-
pected, within the near futrue at least.
This last statement is emphasized at
the treasury department, which desires
to set at rest all talk of Forthcoming
issue of bonds.
Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle will be
away from five to ten days, the length
of their stay being dependent on Mrs.
Carlisle. - ,.ltIF AAl9faxMH111

TRILBY MAY CAUSE HER DEATH
Serious Results From n Cribs De-
sire to Be Model


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 29.-
MISS Lou Parsons, a young woman of
remarkable beauty, who represented
herself several days ago as a pro-
fessional model from Eastern studios.
is lying dangerously sick from peri
tonitis. Little is known here of the
past history of Miss Parsons. 1t is
said, however, that she is a member
of a wealthy and most respectable
family in the East and that she came
West on account of disappointment
In love. She endeavored to earn a Iiy-
ing here, trying several things that re-
quired hard work, but found her
health would not permit her to do
manual labor. The reading of "Tril-
by" suggested to her the idea that
she might earn living as an artists
model, and she applied to a leading
local artist. She was accepted, and
made her first appearance before her
employers art class last week. She
was not professional model, but
she was retained beca.se of her
beauty. Before the sitting was fin
ished she complained of being sick,
and was excused. She went to a drug
store near by. and while asking for
medicine, fell to the floor in convul-
sions. She has been lowering be-
tween life and death since then, and
attempts to gain information regord-
Ing her have proved fruitless.

CASHIER sPECULATED.
One Clue to Mysterious Disnp-
pearance in France.

SAN FRANCISCO, April &C. s.
Smith. cashier and bookkeeper for L.
w. mclaughlin & Co., wheat brokers,
who managed the late Senator Fairs
big wheat deal, is missing, under pc
culiar circumstances. Smith spent
Sunday at the office, working on his
books. At o'clock this morning the
police were notified of Smiths disap-
pearance. A sergeant sent to Nc
Glaughlin's office found several ex-
cited persons, including Mrs. Smith
and her parents, who insisted that the
cashier had been murdered. The office
was in disorder, books and papers
scattered around on the floor, and on
the floor lay Smiths hat, coat and
vest, spotted with blood. For hours
the police searched the building for
Smiths dead body, but no trace of it
or evidence of murder could be found.
Fifty dollars left in the cash drawer
discredited the theory of robbery. One
of the firms books is missing. An ex-
pert is now examining Smiths books
The janitor of the building says that
he and Smith were partners in stock
speculation, the stocks standing in
the janitor's name, that Smiths en-
ployers might not know of his invest
menIs. A few days ago, Smith insist
ed on selling the stock, threatening
the janitor and forcing his compliance
at the point of a pistol. Smith took all
the proceeds, 5000, saying that ne
needed it to make up shortage in his
accounts, that the books would be
brought into court in connection with

AWAITING THE RUSH.
Income Tax bureau VIII Begin
TO Receive Returns TOrnorrOxv

TO Receive Returns Tomorrow.
+ WASHINGTON, April 2s.-The Off
cials having charge of tn" income tax
matters for some days past have had
little to do except to contemplate the
rush of work which is expected to
begin next Wednesday. On that day
collectors of customs have been in
structed to send in all income tax re-
turns that have at that time been ex-
amined and tabulated, and that on
May 10 all the remaining returns be
sent in. 1t is probable that the returns
which will begin to arrive on Wednes-
day, May l. will comprise fully three
fourths of the whole. and from that
time on for several months the income
tax bureau will be crowded with work.
The returns that come IN prior to the
decision of the supreme court have
nearly ali been returned to the col
lectors to be corrected in conformity
with the courts decision, so that there
are less than 500 returns in the depart
ment at the pre5ent time. Late in
formation from collectors is to the eff
feet that large percentage of the
heavier Taxpayers have failed to make
any returns whatever. In some in
undoubtedly careles3ness. as is shown
by the large number of persons who
sent in their returns after the time
limit had expired, but by far the
act of the greater number is believed
to have been deliberate. The percent
age of this latter class is estimated as
high as one-fourth of the whole in some
localities, and throughout the whole
country a conservative estimate is 20
per cent. The officials are hopeful of
favorable change in the opinion of
the supreme court as a result of the
re-hearing, and are especially so as to
the main proposition. In the event the
court Sustains the constitutionality of
the act as whole it is expected that
nearly all of those who have declined
TO make returns Will be anxious TO
compromise with the government with
view to avoiding the payment of
penalties.

Washington officials Are Looking
Into the Case.
WASHINGTON, April 29-The rep
reservations which Ambassador Eustis
was instructed to lay before the French
government touching the arrest and
confinement of ex-United States Con-
sui Waller in Madagascar, and his sub
sequent deportation to France, were
extremely courteous in tone, and were
intended to develop the French side of
the case. 1t was stated that, as Mr.
Waller is an American citizen, the de-
partment of state feels bound to in
quire into all of the circun1 stances in
his case, to be informed specifically of
the nature of the charges made against
him, and of the evidence upon which
he was convicted. The report of United
States Consul Wetter, who succeeded
Mr.. Waller as United States consul
there, while substantially confirming
the newspaper reports of the case, was
not sufficient to satisfy the state de-
partment, which desires an accurate
statement of all the facts before de-
ter--ining what it's attitude shall be in
this matter.

MINNEAPOLIS Is, st. Paul 6.

In an almost erroriess fielding
game the Minneapolis team demon
strated it's superiority, on Monday,
over the Comiskey aggregation of
ball players at Athletic park in Min
nsapolis. There was good crowd in
attendance, the monumental luck of
the locals on the Sabbath having put
the fans in very sweet humor. Opin-
ions which were hastily formed
Saturday affecting both teams were
considerably modified by yesterdays
play, and the game is yet too young
for any prognosticator to get gay
with a cash prediction.
The story in figures shows that the
Barnes men subtracted the lead from
their boots and got themselves down
no common denominator.
Minneapolis, 20 hits; St Paul a.
Minneapolis, 45 times at bat; St.

That is the story in a nutshell.
st. Paul was well equipped in the
box. After two innings, Pepper
Comiskey, Indianapolis alert young
man last year, went in and pitched
an excellent game. He struck out
Perry Werden, Joe Strauss and two
others, and gave but three bases on
balls in seven innings.
Minneapolis had nealy in the box
for four innings and Tanning for
the remaining five. Jack Pickett and
Mullane were the two boys conspicu-
ously arrayed in batting clothes,
Pickett cracking out four singles in
five times, regardless Of who served
the ball.
Tanning held the visitors down to
three hits in five innings, and nary
a Comislley man crossed the plate
during his reign. Tanning did not
register many strike outs, but took
pains TO pitch balls that would pop
up after colliding with a bat.
Healy was hit freely, IL sticks find
dng his curves. One of these counted
a home run for Smith and a double
for Mullane. The game was rather
one-sided after ftfe second inning.

St. Paul daily globe., 1895-04-30

ager Barnes, of the Minneapolis team,
thinks he has a lead-pipe 'cinch' ON
the Western league pennant."
There is a general impression in
Kansas City that Jimmy" Manning
has collected the best base ball ma
terial that has ever heretofore repre-
sented that city. The players are
the game and are willing and able to
play it.
"Parson" Ellis, of Grand Rapids, says
he will be in the game all the way
through. He has some splendid ma
terial in his team, and all think he
should make a magnificent showing.
The men are enthusiastic in their
work, and a spirit of perfect harmony
EXISTS in the club. In exhibition
games the men have all appeared to
advantage. I'VE have more pitchers,
Mr.. Ellis reports, than we know what
to do with at present Some will be
dropped, of course" The pitchers are
Kilroy, Donohue, Jones, Parker and
Stafford.
The Detroit club has so many good
people on the list that Manager VAN
derbeck is in a quandary. OF course
some of them will be compelled to go.
All of the positions have not definitely
been decided upon, but that they will
make a lively race to win out there is
little doubt 1t is the opinion that De-
troit will play winning ball from the
jump. 1--WE have an array of pitchers, 2"
Mr.. Vanderbeck reports, that will
hold their own, we think. They are
Yayle, Pears, Whitehill, Brown, John
son.
Toledo has all of it's old favorites
again this season, and, as the new
men are showing up beyond all ex-
pectation, the city who leads them at
any stage of the game this year will
have to hustle in great shape. Nearly
dozen pitchers are on our list, all of
which are showing up SO well that it
is hard work to decide which to retain.
In Roach we have one of the greatest
finds of the year as a back stop-To-
ledo Bee.
Manager Manning, of the Kansas
