be allowed in which the state can file
papers and afhdavits with a view Of
showing that n has a legal right to the

official adviser. the assistant attorney
general. will decide the ease finally. 1t
Is possible that a verbal hearing may
be allowed the representative OF tho
state.
1t Is not known now that the indian
Office will take any hand in the matter.
The officials still contend that mas
much as the land has been purchased
from the Indians. and paid for, the
Yanktons have no interest in the affair.
The officials of the Indian office think
thel law is entirely In favor OF the state
and that the Indians have a weak case.
President Cleveland will not issue his
proclamation until the secretary Of the
interior has announced his decision at
the end OF the two weeks time allowed
the state OF South Dakota. II the case
shall be decided In favor OF the state,

other attempt. They say Havana is a

its inception and it's execution was en-
trusted to members Of a secret politi-

Spaniards. Wholesale arrests continue,

An additional evidence of returning
prosperity Is also seen during the year
1896. The sales Of postage stamps,
postal cards, wrappers and stamped en-
velopes were never larger in any quar-
ter than for the one ended on March
81. The aggregate of these sales was
$40, 79s. $40, OF which s13. Az was re-
ceived for postage stamps and postal
cards, 81, 400. 555 for plain stamped en-
velopes. 1852, 500 for return request en-
velopes, 954, $40 for special delivery
stamps, $685. SIS for newspaper and peri

General A. ID. Hazen, who was third
assistant for many years, worked out
the problem of relations between the

and he found h a postal sales always
declined with a decline in general bust

INSTRUCTIONS TO COLLECTORS
Supplemental Orders to Conform to In
come Tax Decision. ,

Washington, April 12.-The treasury
department has issued to all income
tax collectors a series of supplemental
Instructions to conform to the recent
decision of the supreme court. The in
structions are as follows:
]. Interest received from state,
ty, and municipal bonds or securities
and rents from real estate are not tax
able as income, but persons or corpora
tons receiving said interest or rents
shall include in their returns as re-
cetpts the fun amoun thereof received
within the year for which return is
made. and shall deduct the same as not
subject to taxation.
2. The amounts actually paid for
taxes. insurance and repairs on real es-
tate may be deducted from income.
3. All persons and corporations that
have heretofore rendered income tax
returns for the year 1894 to a collector
or deputy, including therein interest re-
ceived from state, county or municipal
bonds. or from rents from real estate,
may have the amounts on sai interest
and rents deducted from their income
by duly making an affidavit and deliv-
ering the same to the collector or deputy
TO whom the original return was rem.
dered.
Require all persons in making returns
In future to show clearly that rents in
cluded and deducted We're received only
for real estate, and include nothing
whatever paid for rent or use of per.
sonal property or franchise.
These instructions were wired 10 all
collectors in all parts Of the country
and another telegram sent by Commits
sioner Miller directed them, If neces.
sary for the accommodation of persons
fling income tax returns. to keep their
Offices open for business from 8 in the
morning to 6 l the afternoon up to and
including the 18th inst. ON account OF
the short time left for making returns,
the revenue officials could not under
take to decide just what forms of prop
erty will be exempt under the head of
real estate. Therefore many appeals
are expected from the decisions of thu
collectors.
So far as payments are concerned the
decisions of Commissioner Miller will
probably be final. Aggrieved citizens
may pay the tax under protest and the
bring suit to recover the money.

philadelphia, April 13.-The dynamite

spent in devistng valves that would

ous air pressure required for her guns.
This problem was successfully solved,

such terrific power has rendered the
Nesuvius more Of a terror to her own

meet.
The failure Of the Nesuvius having
been generally recognized, she has de-

NO DIVORCE FOR MARIE.

Pressed for More Definite Evidence, the
Actress Suddenly Abandons the Case.
San Francisco, April 13.-Actress Ma
RE Burroughs has virtually abandoned
her divorce case against Louis Massen.
Last week the commissioner appointed
to take testimony declared h a she
must give further evidence on certain
points or he couldn't grant a divorce
The actress agreed to give this testi-
mony, but on thinking over the matter
she probably decided that collision be-
tween herself and Massen was too plain,
for she left here suddenly. Her failure
to testify kills her divorce case, as ev-
erything pointed to collision between
husband and wife, who had been on
terms of friendship for two years, since
the alleged infidelity Of Massen.
