siEmund Schneider Shot His Wife
and Then Himself.

and Then Himself.
NEW YORK, June 12-Sigmund Schnei-
dler thirty-six years old, Of 210 East S4th
street, shot his wife in the forehead today,
probably fatally injuring her. He then
turned the revolver upon himself and blew
out his brains.
Schneider was the son of a wealthy flour
manufacturer of Kattowitz, Prussian ST.
lesia, but he and his wife lived in poverty.
His wife's maiden name was Steinmetz.
Schneider had lately been employed as a
collector for the United Garment Workers
of America. Before committing the terrible
acts Schneider had written the following
note, which was found on a table In the
apartments:
NEW YORK. June IL, 1S95.-To the
coroner: Being unable to bear Nfe's mis-
cries any longer, l determine to end my
life. taking my dearly beloved companion
with me.
"Col. IngersoL Is right in his views and
lectures, and, as to my opinion, the most
sensible man of the century. Cur social
system is wrong and unjust and our laws.
churches and priests are fakes. They all
serve but one god. and his name is Mann
mon. SIGMUND SCHNEIDER.
Up. S.-Please give my parrot, pictures,
clothes, rugs, bedding and everything ex-
Gept fur furniture to Mr. NJ Taabman, 241
Schneider graduated with high honors at
Heidelberg. after which he married. He
then took up the study of mining and be-
came a director of mines in Prussian ST.
le5ia. He saved money, and with that and
what was given to him by his father ne
invested in a mine. He failed, however,
and lost about 1000 marks. This was
about eleven years ago.
After his failure schneider came to
America and went to Sault Ste Marie,
Mich. where he was employed as a min
ing expert Until the company he was with
failed. Then he drifted to New York. wherc
he has been working at anything which
came along. He was born a Jew, but be-
came an asnostic. He appeared to be de-
votedly attached to his wife.

Pension Decisions.

Two pension decisions Of general interest
have been rendered by Assistant Secretary
Reynolds In the first decision he holds
that under the act of June 27. 1880, minor
may file a declaration and prosecute his
claim in person, by guardian next friend,
but that before beginning payment of his
pension guardian must be appointed. to
whom, when qualified to act, the pension
should be paid.
In the other decision it is held that in a
claim for pension under the general law by
a mother~ the fact being shown that she
was living as a mistress at the time Of the
soldiers death, is sufficient for rebutting
an assumption of her dependence on him
If she can claim pension for no other
reason than dependence, her claim must be
rejected.

The Greatest Sufferers.
CANADA MAY PROTEST.
The Dcrfng Sea Bill in the House of
Commons,

Commons.
LONDON, June 12-The Bering sea bill,
which was introduced into the house of
commons on Monday last by Sir Edward
Grey, parliamentary secretary for the for
eign office, and which passed its first read
ing upon that occasion, replaces the act
of 1So3 which expires in July, and will
enable the government to carry out its
agreement with Russia. 1t empowers the
government, by order in council to pro-
hibit seal catching. The act remains in
force until January, 1898.
In addition to the Bering sea awards in
regard to seizures it empowers the officers
of foreign states which are parties TO the
agreement to seize British ships and equip
ment when they violate the order. British
officers have the same powers in regard to
foreign ships.
An impression prevails here that Canada
will vigorously oppose the passage Of the
rev act.

B. Mcguire san6tNrs Archibald Hopkins,
appeared Before4 the Commissioners this
morning TO, urge tho introduction of an
estimate fols the support of the home in
the Commissionafs estimates to Congress

through p,Isriic support, and it had never
received dolan from Congress. Funds

trusted to -contTue its generous support.
The hoard Of trustees had money enough

INDEMNITY TO BE ASKED.

China Must Pay for the MissiOanries'
Property Destroyed.
The confirmation of reports that Ameri-
can missionary property in China has been
destroyed makes it probable that the United
States government will require China to
make suitable indemnity when the facts
are officially established. A precedent for
such recompense was made when the
United States paid China a considerable
amount for mob depredations on Chinese
in the far northwest. The reports of losses
to mission property in China vary. 1t is
said that the indemnity asked will cover
not only the actual damage and loss to
the American missionaries, but also a
punitive sum as recompense for the indig
nity suffered.

as final proof; that additional proofs
must be taken at times and places con-
venient and generally known to the pub
lie. In preparing his instructions to the
registers and receivers of local land
offices the commissioner must carefully
consider these and many other matters
of detail in order to guard against future
trouble and litigation and protect the
rights of all in the premises.
1t is understood that Commissioner
Lam oreaux is giving the subject of pre-
pairing the necessary blank forms and
instructions his personal attention and
that this important part of the work will
soon be in shape to submit to Secretary
Smith for his approval. Those who are
nov clamorous for action on their small
land holdings can, therefore, rest easy.
They will not have to wait much longer
and their patience will doubtless be
amply rewarded by the thoroughly just
and business.l like manner in which their
claims will be disposed of when reached.

tionment is to be made. He must make
the apportioument on the first Mondays
of January, April, July and October, pro-
vided, of course, that the treasurer has
by that date given him the data upon
which his official act of apportionment is
to be based. However, should any i'm
perative causes intervene whereby the
apportionment can not be made on the
date fixed by law, there is no reason to be-
lieve that any objection would be made to
an apportionment onthe earliest date prac-
ticable thereafter. It is not to be tolerated,
however, that in matter affecting the
interests of the schools of whole county
the county superintendent can change the
date provided by statute to suit his mere
whim or convenience. Laws are made to
be obeyed and had the legislature intend
ed to give the superintendent discretion
as to the date of apportionment, it would
hardly have fixed the first Monday in
January, ETC., as the date for the per-
formance of this duty.
"Your third inquiry is as to the duty OF
the county superintendent in case he
makes mistake in apportioning school
funds and does not discover the same
until part of the money thus appor-
toned has been spent. A very plain
solution to such situation lies in the
statement that in such case, if the money
has not been so far spent as to make q
reapportionment impossible, then with
out delay new apportionment should be
made stating the correct amount due each
of the districts, including the district as
first omitted. Upon receiving this last
apportionment the treasurer should trans.
fer to the fund appropriated to the
omitted district such amount from each
of the other districts as will reduce the
apportionment to the correct figure and
at the same time make up the correct
aggregate for the omitted or neglected
district. While it is true that the law
contemplates only one apportionment
every three months the superintendent
thus contemplated is to be that which the
law provides, j. g.: ar apportionment in
which each district, entitled 80 to do,
shall participate. A second apportion-
ment therefore during the quarter in
which an erroneous apportionment has
been made is simply doing, although tardi-
ly, just what the law says should have been
done in the first instance. In case the
fund has been so far spent that this ap.
portionment is practicable, the county
superintendent or his bon6smen should
place the sum due the wronged district
in the hands of the county treasurer, ar.
ranging for his reimbursement as best he
can with the districts which have gotten
more than their share. In performing
this act of justice there should be no de-
lay until the next apportlonment; each
district is entitled to its share of the
school fund on the date fixed by law, and
while it may in some instances be hard
ship for the county school superintendent
to make up the deficiency at once, it mus
be remembered that this inconvenience IL
nothing more than the necessary conse
quenoe of his own neglect and omission
penalty which is both just, reasonable
and in accord with the universal order o.
things"
