WENT TO CLAIM A FORTUNE
A Young Married Couple Perish
OF the Elbe.
Ida Green Brunson of Oakland and
Her Husband.
Tho Bride Was Supposed to b. Heiress
toa Vast Estate Left by German
Ancestors.

OAKLAND, Jan. 81. -There 10 no doubt
that ~. NJ. Brunson and Ida Brunson,
whose names appear on the roll OF the
Elbe's steersge passengers, are the
young militia captain and vile who
started for Berlin on December 10Th
last to present their claims to a $780,
600 share in the estate of Baron Barne-
kow. The Acknowledgement of the young
peoples intention in event OF failure, to
return, proves their identity.
Brunson was we'll known as . news
paper reporter and for nearly year had
been connected with the Oakland Office
oil the Examiner His wife, whom he
married last May, was only 10 in
November.
The story of Mrs. Brunson's short life
is a romantic one.
Twenty years ago Baron Won Barnel-
son. ths heir to an i'm mense estate on
the Baltic by virtue Of being ths oldest
son in the family, came to California.
In San Francisco he met and married
Mrs. Katie Green, who is still residing
there. For some years the nobleman
and his American wife lived together
and Ida Won Barnslson and a twin sis-
ter born Ida, who alone survived, is the
girl who subsequently adopted the name
of Green when her mother resumed it.
The marriage of Mre. Green to the
baron was not happy one. Ida WAS
placed in the convent OF the Sacred
Heart, San Francisco, and WAS educated
at her fathers expense.
Baron Won Barnelson returned to
Germany to lay claim to the estate at
the death Of his father, and there he
died without making any provision for
the support OF his wife or daughter,
though he had been exceedingly at
tached to the little one. He had lived
with his wife up To the time Of his de.
parture and it was his intent ton to re-
turn to California.
Litigation over the estate followed the
baron's death, and it was in the hope OF
lavorably ending the case that the
young couple started for Germany loas
than two months ago. with little money,
to push their claim.
1t is evident from the fact of the sud.
den return, that either ths case was
compromised with the opposing heirs or
that the prospect was hopeless. and the
circumstances Of travelling in the steers
age tells plainly OF failure.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-A special to the

THE FUNDING BILL STILL ON,
Another Day Of Debate in the
House.
Action OIL the Financial Question
Precipitated.
Senator German Calls on Secretary Car
Isle for Information kegardiog
Revenues, Reserves, Etc.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.--A critical stage
of the financial discussion was unex-
pectedly precipitated in the senate at a
late hour today. Intermittent refer
ences had bsen made to the subject
throughout the day, but it was without
definite form or purpose, and the senate
finally lapsed into a discussion of the
District OF Columbia appropriation bill.
But the financial question arose met
dentally, and finally at D O'Clock Mr..
German launched q speech which
proved to be one OF the most effective he
has delivered at the present session of
congress-. He pointed out the gravity
of the treasury situation. intimating the
facts were being held back, and that an
Investigation would show startling de-
ficiencies. He defended the senate
against the charges of impotency, and
declared he had perfect faith that this
great body would do its full duty before
congress adj ,urned. He said financial
remedy would, if necessary, be added as
q rider to an appropriation bill. Spurred
on by the energy Mr. German had sud.
denly injected into the question, the
senate at once proceeded to coneider and
pass three important resolutions calling
upon >ecretary Carlisle for information
concerning every detail bearing on rev-
enues, reserves. deficiencies. ETC.
A warm party debate occurred during
the day on the question of party ex-
travagance. MIR. Chandler, Mr.. Plstt
and other Republican senators asserted
the total appropriations for this con-
grsss would reach sl,001 100000, a
million in excess OF the billion appro-
priated by the Fifty-frst congress.
