the eastern end of the road did not

THE GOLD STEALERS.
Two Prominent Officers of the Carson
Mint Arrested.

Reno New, April S-The Gazette
this evening published the following
cerning the Carson mint scandal:
"John T. Jones, assistant manager and
refiner of the United States branch
mint ait Carson, and Ernest Harris, a
melter in the Smelter and Iefner de-
partment, We're suspended this morn
ing. This may or may not be an in
dication of what will shortly follow.
The Gazette has positive information
that the mint shortage amounts to
about $4,000 and covers a period of
about five years, running back to the
time that S. G. Wright was superin-
tendent, then Through two years of T.
r. Hofer's administration. Hofer was
appointed superintendent at the time
of Wright's death, in the summer of

FAVORING ARBITRATION.
President Cleveland Believes in Ami
cable Settlements.

Washington, April 6.-Baron Rio
Branco and General Gerquire, special
Brazilian plenipotentiaries who rep
resented the case of that country in
the arbitration of the missions boun-
Diary contention with the Argentine
Republic, presented their letters of
recall to President Cleveland today
and said farewell While the speeches
exchanged were rather out of the
usual order, in view of the character
of missions, the remarks of the presi-
dent in response to Baron Rio Rranco,
who acted as spokesman for the Bra
zilians, were significant where they
touched on arbitration, having in
mind the efforts now being made to
induce Great Britain to submit her
boundary dispute with Venezuela to
this method of settlement. To the
thanks of the plenipotentiaries the
president said:
'The United States have long and
earnestly advocated a resort to inter-
national arbitration in the settlement
Of difficulties which may not be amen
able to the ordinary methods of diplo-
matte treatment, and especially the
adjustment of controversies depend
ing largely upon historical facts, and

cedure. Tending their example as
they have done on many occasions,
by themselves resorting to this honor
able ard humane form, the United
States, through it's chief magistrate,
could do no less than give it's assist
iance to other friendly states in fur
thering like disposition of controver-
sizes arising between them, and hence
lit was not alone qualification and
pleasure to me to assume the grave
personal responsibility rendered to me
by Brazil and Argentine Republic,
there was also in a high sense the
Ifulfillment of the international duty
toward two friendly states, which it
behooves the president of the United
States to perform in the interest of
good relationship Of the western hem
lisphere."

ALBANY, Or, April s.-A. B. Ham
mond, one of the purchasers of the
Oregon Pacific railroad, arrived in
the city today and will make tour
of inspection of the entire road. He
said Mr.. Bonner has withdrawn from

pleased that the new survey has been

AS to the new company's plans Mr..

Denver, April 6-Owing to ter
rife snow storm prevailing in the vi
cinIity of Cheyenne, Wyoming, in East

trains are stalled on the railroad lines
east of Denver and hundreds of men
and several snow plows are engaged

The Income Tax Law Is
Assailed.
PartlyUpheld and Partly
Condemned.
Justice Field Is Very Severe in His
Arraignment Of Its UncOn-
stitutiOnal Character.

Washington, April 8.-The anxious
ly awaited decision of the United
States supreme coCrt ON the income
tax case was rendered today by Chief
Justice Fuller. The court knocked out
the law as far as it taxes incomes
derived from rents and also from
state, county and municipal bonds.
By a tie vote of the court the law was
sustained in other respects.
Justices Field, Harlan and White
dissented from Chief Justice Miller.
Justice Field said: Il am of the opin-
ion that the whole law of 1894 is null
and void Justice White favored up
holding the whole law.
Justice Field, the oldest member OF
the court. In the dissenting opinion,
said:
''Nhe income tax law under consid-
eration is marked by discriminating
features which affect the whole law.
1t discriminates between those who re-
ceive an income of $4,000 and those
who do not. 1t thus vitiates. in my
Judgment, by this arbitrary discrimi-
nation, the whole legislation. When
ever a distinction is made In the bur-
dens a law imposes or the benefits IL
confers on any citizen by any reason
Of their birth, wealth., or religion, II
is class legislation and leads inevitably
to oppression and abuse, and to gen
eral unrest and disturbance in society.
1t is hoped and believed that the great
amendments to the constitution which
followed the late civil war had rem
dered such legislation impossible for
future time. Butt the objectionable
Legislation reIappears I'M the ast under
consideration. It is the same in essen
tia1 character AS the English statute
Of 1851 which taxed ProteStants at
certain rate, Catholics as a class at
double the rate of Protestants, and
Jews at another and separate rate
The effect Of all the opinions deliv-
cred is to show that the court was
unanimous in the opinion that the law
I Is unconstitutional as to municipal
| and state bonds, that Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Field, Gray, Brew
er, Brown and Shiras hold it to be
| invalid on incomes derived from rents,
and Justices Harlan and White dis
sented from this opinion as to rents.
1t is impossible to state the exact dil
vision as to the validity of other parts
of the law further than was disclosed
by the proceedings.
| 1t appears quite clear that Chief JUS
tice Fuller and Justices Harlan and
White voted to sustain the other parts
of the law and the best opinion obtain
able is that Justice Brown stood with
them in this question, which would
!leave Justices Field, Gray, Brewer
and Shiras as the opponents of the
law as q whole.

BABY IN A TEN-1NCH WE'LL.

Paris, Tex, March S.-The 49,
months-old child of Bill Gee, a farmer
living near Tigertown, had terrible
experience on Tuesday evening. A
1O-inch bored well had just reached
a depth of twenty-nine feet, being
near the house, when the little one
went out alone to investigate. Some
how he managed to fall in feet first,
and was impaled upon the end of the
boring machinery, part of which
was vet in the well. The frantic
mother was a witness to the horror,
and Immediately gave the alarm.
The child could not be gotten out of
the hole, so the neighbors were all
summoned, and some eighty of them
went to work digging a great square
hole near the well. This being COM
pleted to depth on a level with the
child, tunnel was made from the
hole to the well, and the child res
cued, after being in it's perilous con-
dition for twenty-three hours. Its
plaintive cries: Mamma! mamma,
come take me outr' were heartrend-
ing. The child will recover.-Galves-

Strong Club Formed in
San Francisco.
Costly Trials of Strikers
Abandoned.
A Negro Prima Donna, Whose Sensi
biiities Are Outraged, Wants
Some Damages.

SAN FRANCISCO, April GA po-
litical club is being formed in this
city by several Chinese who have the
right to vote and the bosses behind it
expect to make it several hundred
strong by next election. Ng. Gun and
Leon Chung, two native born Chin
ese, have established headquarters on
Clay street, where they have installed
a political club under the guise of
Native Sons Parlor. On the door is
a sign reading: "Chinese Native
Sons Association, COnfucius Parlor."
This club numbers at present about
1000 American born Chinese here
that are entitled to vote and who will
join the club. About so Chinese voted
at the last election. Practical politi-
clans are scheming as to the possibil-
ity of buying Chinese votes in blocks
of two thousand and utilizing them
in a manner that will overthrow any
majority that white American citi-
zens may give candidates.

CATTLE MEN CHEERFUL.

Reno, New, April 6.-Not for ten
years has this state been so free of
beef cattle as at the present time.
Thre is hardly a beef steer for sale

there were fully 5000 head seeking
market.
Eastern butchers have cleaned up
all the beef cattle in this section. Cat

There is a better feeling prevailing
among beef people than for ten years
past
