Washington special: Hugh McCullOch
OF Fort Wayne. Ind, formerly secretary OF
tide treasury, is dead. Death was calm
and peaceful, the patient being for some
time previous in a comatose condition.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral and probably none will be
made until the arrival of his daughter
Mary. She sailed for New York on the
18th.
Hugh McCulloch was born at Kenne-
bunk, Me-, in 1SoS. He studied law, and
on being admitted to the bar in 1893, re-
moved to Fort Wayne, Ind. In 1885 he
was chosen cashier and manager of the
Fort Wayne branch of the State Bank of
Indiana, and remained in that position I'M
til 1855, when he was elected president of
the State Bank. He was still in that po-
sition when President Lincoln by the ad-
vice of Mr.. Chase. who was then secretary
OF the treasury, made MIR. McCulloch
comptroller of the currency.
In March, 1865, he entered Lincoln's cab
met as secretary of the treasury, and held
that position throughout Johnson's trou-
bled administration until Gen. Grant APP
pointed his successor in 1869.
The four annual reports which Mr.. Nc
culloch made to congress as secretary of
he treasury might deserve to be published
together as a text book of national nance
Just as several of Mr.. Gladstone'S budgets
have been resurrected from public docu-
ments and published in volume by them
selves.
After Grants election and the appoint
ment Of Boutwell, as his successor, Mr..
McCulloch established in London the
banking house of Jay Cooke, McCulloch
& Co., with which he continued until the
suspension Of the American firm of Jay
Cooke e Co., in 1873, when the London
house recognized under the name of Nc
Culloch q Co. A year afterward he re-
turned to the United States and retired
from business for a few years. In 1881,
however, on The resignation of Walter Q
Gresham, President Arthur called On Mr..
McCulloch 10 resume his post at Washing
ton as secretary of the treasury. He has
lived since his retirement from public life
at the national capital.

DROWNED IN THE MISSOURI.
Bodies of the Omaha Teacher ana
Her Children Found.

Omaha special. The Missouri River Has
given up its dead and the mystery which
has surrounded the disappearance OF Mrs.
Ida Remington Notson and her two chill
,rcn has been cleared away by the finding
of all The bodies. 1t will be remembered
that Mrs. Notson was a teacher IN the
public schools Of the city residing WIN
with her mother, Mrs. Cook, at 40 SCUM
Thirteenth Street. On the morning OF
December s, 1894, Mrs. Notson took her
two children, saying she was going to call
upon a dressmaker who resided on the
river bottoms in the vicinity OF the OLD
Boyd packing house, not far from fourth
Street and Poppleton Avenue. AT the
home of the dressmaker Mrs. Notson and
the children remained during the greater
portion of the day, leaving at about 4
o'clock in the afternoon. The theory was
advanced that the woman had murdered
her children and then committed suicide
by drowning and taking the little ones
with her.
A fisherman named Graham Nash, To-
Gated on the Iowa side of the river three
miles below Lake Manawa, noticed a
black object floating near the channel. lie
Jumped into a boat and rowed ont into the
the stream, and as he neared the object he
discovered that it was the body OF a Wo-
man. Approaching it he cast out a boat
hook and grappled into the shoulders. AS
he did so the body turned upon its face,
bringing to The surface the bodies OF two
children. one a boy and the other a girl.
The three bodies were removed from the
river and conveyed to EStep's undertaking
establishment. where later in the evening
they were identified by relatives of Mrs.
Notson. 1t was evident that the woman
murdered her two children and that at
the same time She took her W life.
Around the neck of each child there was
a rope. in each instance the end beng
wrapped and tied around the mother 5
waist. Not satisfied With this the
mother had buckled a strap around
the waist of each child and had then tied
the loose ends to the ropes at her waist.
1t is presumed that after this preparing for
death the woman had walked into the
river and drowned herself and little ones.
The boy, the elder of the two children, had
a course towel over his face and tied in a
hard knot at the back of his head, indicat-
inc that he had sonic suspicion that he was
in danger and that his mother had taken
this course in order to allay his fears. All
three bodies were clothed in their winter
garments, Mrs. Notson wearing a cloak,
+hn lNn,- 4, p,-.r.,.t hn1Nr slnthinU and
black yarn mittens. while the girl wore a
cloak, a blue hood, from beneath which
crept a number of curls of golden hair.
The little Girl wore oyerShoes, bu nc nit

VENEZUELA A ks OUR AID.
Wants to Resume Diplomatic Re.
lntions with Europe.

Washington special: The United States
has been again asked to act as intermedia-
~ in an international complication. This
time the trouble is between France and
Venezuela, resulting in a complete ter
mination of diplomatic relations between
them. The request for the mediation OF
the United States is now made by the
Venezuelan Government through its MIN
lister at Washington, Senior Andrade. He
was instructed by the Venezuelan Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs a short time ago TO
request that the United States Ambassa-
dor at Paris, Mr.. Eustis, be asked to act as
Intermediary in restoring friendly rcla-
tons between the two countries.
The trouble between France and Ven
ezuela originated about four months ago.
A number of Europeans residing at Cara
cas- united in a confidential note TO their
respective governments, in which they
told of the lax condition of the Govern
.ment and the tendency of Venezuelan
officials to avoid the settlement of just
claims. The note was signed by the Min
listers Of France and Germany, Spain and
Belgium. The Italian Minister did not
sign it, but sent it TO his government tor
''information." BY mischance the con
fidential' was ommitted from the note and
Italy published it with the signatures OF
the four ministers. in the Italian green
book, Venezuela being thus publicly
pilloried, She at once gave their pass
ports to the French. Spanish and Belgian
Ministers, but the German Minister had
lett before this indignity could be offered
to him. Great Britain withdrew her min
lister some time ago, because of the bound
larry troubles. 1t is with a view Of over
coming this situation that Venezuela asks
the kindly Offices of the United States to-
wards resuming relations with the rest of
the world.

ship Field, coal laden from GrimSby for
this port, now 2lS days out, has been given
up by the shipping men of this port. The
ship was last sighted January 10 OFF Cape
Horn. The fact that since that time no
vessel has sighted the Field gives cause
for apprehension. That the vessel Is lost
there can be but little doubt. as the cargo
was a dangerous one. but the fate of her

NCOME TAN DECISION.
Opinions of Two Public Ten on the
subject.

Washington special: The income tax
the probabilities of an extra session OF
Congress TO provide means lor supplying
the deficit, were the chief subjects of dis
cus>ion in Official and political circles.
Senator Morgan Of Alabama, one of the
ablest constitutional lawyers in the
Senate. said:
The decision leaves the taxing powers
OF the Government IN a state of wreck. 1t
Will require a long time for us to gather
up the fragments. Principles of taxation
which were considered we'll settled are
torn up by this decision"
How will the question come up in the
Senate?"
In connection with the question Of re-
funding the $4,000 already collected and
the refund of the collected whisky, beer
and tobacco taxes. All those taxes are as
much direct taxes as the tax IN personally
and are as unconstitutional according TO
the decision of the supreme court"
What can Congress do?'
"Of course replied Senator Morgan,
Congress Will have o accept the decision,
but an amendment to the constitution is
always possible"
Senator Faulkner of West Virginia said
that he thought there was no danger of an
extra session and no earthly chance Tor
one. He added:
Even with this loss of income there is a
comfortable condition Of the treasury. 1t
has $40, 70 900 surplus in addition to the
! gold reserve, and | am sure that will be
sufficient to last until the meeting of Con-
gress. The country will not suffer 50
much from a lack of legislation as il
would from a session of Congress"
