FIRED upon THE POLICE,
Three Negroes Use Shooting
Irons While Being Ar
rested.
One Of the AssaiIants Killed In
Stantly and an Officer Seri-
ouSly Wounded.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 30.-In attempt
ing to arrest three colored men at Spring
and State streets last night Officer Golden
shot and killed one of them instantly, but
not until he himself had been twice
wounded, and Officer McDermott had
narrowly escaped a mortal wound in the
abdomen. The wounds were the result of
fusillade of bullets between the colored
men, each of whom was armed, and the
officers, which aroused the neighborhood,
and created great excitement for time.
The two colored men who seemed to be
unframed escaped.
The two officers had been told to look
out for three colored men who were sus-
pected of having committed several petty
burglaries in that vicinity recently. When
the policemen met these three colored men
and attempted to arrest them one drew a
revolver and, placing the muzzle against
McDermott's abdomen, fired. The bullet
only tore hole through the officers
clothing, setting it on fire and slightly
grazing the flesh.
At this McDermott drew his own re-
volver. Two of the men ran across the
street and drawing their revolvers began
firing at the officers, who returned the
fire. Officer Golden followed the third
man on run, firing several shots at
him, which were returned. Officer
Golden's aim was good, and the man fell
to the pavement with bullet through his
head. He died instantly. Officer Golden
had received two wounds. Other police
men, attracted by the shooting, came and
searched for the other negroes, but could
not find them. Officer Golden was assisted
to the drugstore, when an examination
showed that one bullet had passed clear
through the right thigh, and that another
had embedded itself in the calf of the left
leg. The wounds were bandaged and the
officer taken to the hospital. 1t is not
thought that his injuries will prove fatal
unless blood-poisoning sets in. Officer Nc
Dermott's coat was perforated four times
by bullets, and it is scarcely credible that
he escaped without serious injury. The
name of the negro killed is not known.

VIII PUSH WALLER,S CLAIM.
ET- Congressman Langston Says the Er
Consul Mast Be Protected.

Er- Congressman LdngstOn Says the Er-
Consul Mast Be Protected.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 30-Ex-
Congressman John NJ. Langston, the at
torney of ex-Consul Waller, who is i'm
prisoned at st. Pierre by the French, is
determined to push the case with all the
power he possesses.
"In the first place." said he, 1--WE pro-
pose to maintain the concessions obtained
by Mr.. Waller in Madagascar. The whole
purpose of the prosecution and persecution
of Waller by the French Government was
to despoil him of the concessions he pro-
cured. The French Government realizes
that the concessions are of immense value.
Then, we intend to force the French Gov
eminent to pay to Waller an indemnity
commensurate with the persecution he has
undergone. He was given a mock trial,
was threatened and finally conveyed in
irons to France, where he now lies in
prison awaiting a civil trial"
Mr.. Langston said the amount of in
demnity to be asked would be determined
after he had communicated with Waller.
Mr.. Langston is entirely satisfied with the
course of the State Department, which, he
said, had called for thorough investiga-
ton of and report on the case by Minister
Eustis at Paris and the Consul at
Tamatave Madagascar. AS soon as they
are received, if they bear out Mr.. Walters
representations, Mr.. Langston expects the
administration to take prompt action
looking to the release of the prisoner and
to demand from France a proper money
indemnity.

IN QUIET AND SPLENDOR.
Marriage of Miss Murphy and
Hugh Grant at WASH
ingtOn.
Considerable Secrecy Attends All
the Arrangements for the
NuptialS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 30.-The
wedding of Hugh J. Grant, ex-Mayor OF
New York, and Miss Julia M. Murphy,
daughter of Senator Murphy of New York,
took place at the residence of the BRIDES
parents to-day. Cardinal Gibbons had
granted special dispensation allowing the
ceremony to take place at home, as the
bride desired to avoid the publicity Incl
dent to church wedding.
For the same reason the calling of the
bans was omitted. Archbishop Corrigan
performed the ceremony.
Except for the limited number OF
people present the surroundings of the
wedding were on a splendid scale. The
spacious house was superbly decorated.
Early this morning Archbishop Corrigan
celebrated high mass, the congregation
consisting of the party which assembled
later at the wedding. Several priests, some
of whom came from New York with the
Archbishop, assisted at the ceremony,
which occurred at II 80.
AT II o'clock the party sat down to the
wedding feast in the gold-apd-white
dining-room. Owing to the nature of the
wedding the attendance of groomsmen
was not required, but the brides younger
sisters acted as bridesmaids.
The bride wore gown of rich white
satin, trimmed with lace and chiffon. The
superb diamond ornaments which held
the tulle veil and flashed on her hair We're
the gifts of the groom and her parents.
She carried a bouquet of white orchids and
lilies of the valley, and the gentlemen
wore boutonnieres of lilies of the valley.
The feast was most elaborate. The bride
received a great number of wedding
presents, many of them from out of town
friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grant left here this after
noon for New York, and tomorrow they
sail for Europe. Considerable secrecy at
tended the nuptial arrangements.

The Greatest Number Comes From IRE

land, Dat Germans Are the Richest.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3d. A
statement has been prepared at the
Bureau of immigration which shows
the number of immigrants which
arrived in the United States for the
nine months ending March 81 in each for
the last years to have been as follows:
1898, 259, AGO; 1894, 218,64S; 1895, 40, $50.
The amount of money brought in by i'm
migrants during the past nine months was
50, 395, s46.
Although this amount was known to
have been brought in, it is believed that
the money secreted and undiscovered by
the officials may have been several times
that amount.
OF the arrivals during the last nine
months, 21,564 came from Ireland, 81, 100
from Germany, Is 100 from Russia proper,
16, 125 from Italy, and 16, lie from England.
OF those debarred from landing 1911 were
paupers, or likely to become so. Eleven
were shown to have been convicts, and 1853
contract laborers.
Of those landed 1892 could neither read
nor write. Of those who brought money
Germany heads the list with $551 1884, Ire

LEFT SEVERAL WILLS.
Relatives Will Not Share the
100000 Fortune He
Inherited.
CLAIMANTS FOR THE ESTATE.
Two Men Who Hold Deeds for All
the Property of the Dead
Man.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, April 3d.
Despite the fact that relatives have learned
the fate OF AnseI White, who was wanted
in New York to establish claim to a
fortune of 100000, it is highly probable,
if story told here to-day is true, that the
sixteen remaining relatives will find some
difficulty in securing distribution.
White came to Puget Sound in 1878, and
took up a farm in Clallam County, where
he resided until his demise in the summer
of 1888. Among his neighbors was young
fellow named Wooding, who lived with his
wife on an adjoining claim. These people
were among the few whom White liked,
and they became close friends and regular
visitors.
Eventually White decided all this prop
erty except life interest, small portion,
to Wooding, and when death came to the
old man, according to the story of an old
friend, handed the deed to the young man,
with the intimation that some time ii
would repay him for his kindness during
his last illness.
If this is true, then the entire fortune
will revert to Wooding and wife. White
was very eccentric, and those who knew
him in early days will readily believe the
story told by his friend.
Neighbors and friends of Ansel White,
however state positively that he made no
less than three wills to as many different
persons. Usually for some trivial favor
rendered, he would make out will, leav-
ing all his property Internationally to his
benefactor's child. Then, if something
went wrong, he would change the benef-
ciary TO some other person. These ac-
acknowledgements were always taken before
some authorized officer

a Tacoma Attorney Who Holds a VII
ErecNted by White.
TACOMA, WASH, April 3o.-An Olym-
pia special to the Ledger says:
Preston NJ. Troy, young attorney OF
this city, to-day received news that he is
heir to a New York estate of 100000 by
the will of Ansel White, for whom search
has been in progress for many years.
For many years Ansel White resided on a
ranch adjoining that of Smith Troy,
father of Preston NJ. Troy. in Clallam
County. White was a bachelor and lived
in log cabin on his ranch for twenty
years. He died in May, 1888, at the age OF
rs, and was buried in the land on which
he had lived so long.
White took fancy to young Troy and
m ade will making him sole heir and leg
atee. Just prior to his death, however, he
sold the ranch for nominal price, retain
ing life interest, and at the time of his
death was supposed to have considerable
money IN his possession, yet none was
ever found. Search was made high and
low, but no trace of money could be dis
covered. Neighbors believe he buried the
money somewhere on the ranch.
White was extremely eccentric. He
seldom held communication with any
one but the Troy family. Before coming
to Washington he made money in Cali
fornia. He handed 500 to woman in
San Francisco as he was about to leave,
telling her to keep it for him till he called
for it. He left no word in San Francisco
regarding his destination, and this fact
has for fifteen years baked those searching
for him to inform him of his having fallen
heir to an estate in New York.
1t was supposed that Ansel Whites was
one of those unknown bodies found float
ing in San Francisco harbor, yet during
the past two years W. H. White, son of
Ansel White, has been searching for the
lost heir or for conclusive evidence of his
death. He was traced to California. Ad-
vertising led to the establishing of the
identity of the old rancher as the missing
heir for whom a long search had been
made. AT the time of making the will
there is little probability that the old man
was aware of the fact that the New York
estate was his. This, however, does not
affect the will made. It was executed in
accordance with law and the witnesses are
still living. Among his former neighbors
in Port Angeles he is generally remem-
bered. The will is in the possession of
Preston Troy. who has taken steps to have
the claim acknowled ged.

FINANCES OF THE NATION.
There VIII Be Big Deficit at the Close
of the Fiscal Year.

There W3U Be q Big Deficit at the Close
of the Fiscal Year.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 30.-The
treasury receipts during the month ended
to-day have not met the expectations of
the officials and the indications now are
that the deficit at the end of the fiscal
year will be little, if any, less than $45,-
100000. The receipts for the month of
April amount to $24, 247, 1856 and the ex-
penditures to $32 ,e52, 500, leaving deficit
for the month of $8,7o4, s54, and for the
fiscal year to date of $45, PAT ,0O6.
The receipts from internal revenue show
falling off for April, as compared with
the same month in 1894, of more than
$500, 900, and falling off of the ten months
of the fiscal year of about 50, 0OO, 600. Dur
ing the remaining two months of the tis-
cal year there will be no extraordinary
expenditures. The pension payments will
amount to about 500 900, 900, and 81, 25o. 900
will be repaid on the interest account.
The net result of the year is not expected
to differ very materially from to-day's
figures, and yet in making this estimate a
considerable revenue from the income tax
is anticipated.

MoNEY-MAKING CONSPIRACY.
Treasury agents Report the FrGudtt

lent Landing of Chinese.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3o.-The
Secretary of the Treasury received from
Special Agents Johnstown and Beane at
Boise City, Idaho, report of the results of
their investigation in the alleged frauds in
connection with the entry of Chinese into
this country. The report states that the
investigation shows conclusively that
there has been for several years past an or
gained money making conspiracy with a
view to manufacturing certificates upon
which Chinese laborers may be enabled to
visit China and return to the United States
as bona-fde merchants. In the majority
of the cases the so-called merchants were
found to be cooks and gardeners employed
in or near Boise City. Nevertheless, a
large number of prominent citizens have
vouched for the Chinese as merchants.
The special agents are convinced that bust
ness has been carried on as money-mak-
ing scheme. The Grand Jury failed, how
ever, to bring in indictments against any
of the parties.

ST. PAUL, MINI, April 50.-By ma
jorlty opinion the Supreme Court to-day
sustained the lower court in holding that
the State law of 1898, granting to telephone
and electric-lighting companies the right
OF eminent domain, the same as railroad
companies, was proper and right. Farmer
Joshua 0. Cater objected to the erection OF
telephone poles in front of his place and
took the matter into the courts.
The lower courts held that the telephone
companies had the right to place the poles
there without compensation to the land
owner, as it was public service and a
part of that for which the road was laid
out. This verdict was sustained to-day,
although Chief Justice Start and Justice
Buck dissented. The decision is of much
