The officials of the treasury depart
ment are greatly excited over the dis
coyery that there is an actual basis for
the report that the Morgan-Rothschlld
bond syndicate is making a mighty
effort 10 again corner the gold market.
It is an open secret that brokers repre-.
senting this syndicate OF money
"sharpS" have been paving a premium
for the refined gold output Of the phi
waite reiinors throughout the west dur
ing the last two months. and that they
are accommodating fine gold at the rate
of between two million and three mill
lion dollars per month, which repre-
SCENTS fully twO-thirds Of the entire gold
output Of the United States. The fOun-
dation is being laid for another bond
deal before congress meets again. The
last bond deal of S65, 100000 has been
pretty well closed out, over Sd ,OOO, 600
in gold having been paid in out of the
500. 900. 900, and ii j, believed that the
entire deal will be cleaned up before
tho first of August. This done. the
bond syndicate will be under no legal
obligations 10 maintain the gold reserve.
The withdrawal of artificial support
would let the treasury reserve down
like lead, and the treasury would be a
prey to the raiders the same As ii was
last winter Under the terms of IT,
contract with the treasury department
the Morgan Rothschild syndicate has an
outiO ON any new bonds that the row
eminent may issue prior TO October lst
next. Until after that date the treas
ury is absolutely in their hands. and if
another bond issue is necessary to
maintain the gold reserve the sale must
be made TO this same band Of ShylockS.
The season may pass without another
raid on the treasury reserve, but among
those best informed on thi, subject
there is a growing sense of insecurity.

in which the law wa, left by the for

Special Correspondence,
LANSING, May l3-The woman suffrage
bill was voted on IN the house the other after
noon. and was found TO lack four votes to in
sure It's passage, the vote standing 63 for and
- against The bill was ably championed
by Mr.. Waldo, the author of the proposed
constitutional amendment, his chief argu-
ment for its passage being the injustice of
taxation without representation. Mr. Wal
do said that 81, ll9 women IN Michigan paid
taxes on an assessed valuation of Slj4,j05,1 79
and that in 1893 these women paid a total
tax of S3}7,304. MIR. Waldo said further that
there are -, l7G women wage earners in this
state. who should have a voice indirectly
how the money they pay IN taxes should be
spent; and that IN case an accusation Is
brought against a woman she should have
the right of trial before jury on which her
sex j. represented. Mr.. Waldo referred to
the success of woman suffrage in Wyoming,
and read a concurrent resolution adopted by
the legislature of that state, pronouncing
women suffrage the source of much of the
prosperity enjoyed by the people of that
state. The resolution declared that woman
suffrage in Wyoming had been potential in
decreasing crime. and had resulted in such
an enviable state of society that the jails in
that state are almost empty, and IN many
counties in the state the poor house l. an I'M
known institution

4 Matrimonial Mixture That Can't Be
Unraveled.

a Matrimonial Mixture That Can't Be
Unraveled.
The two following cases would be diff
cult to suspaSs. says The Philadelphia
Press. One was IN England, the other
in Australia. Some time ago marriage
took pla in Birmingham, which brought
about very complicated state of family
relations. The woman had been married
three times before, and each time had
taken for her husband a widower with
children. Her fourth husband was a
widower, and as he had children by his
first wife, who was herself a widow with
children when he married her, the newly
married couple started their matrimonial
companionship with family composed
of the progency of eight previous mar
riages. Another curious case was that
of Dr. King, of Adelaide, a widOwer,
who married a Miss Norris. Shortly af-
ter the DOCTORS honeymoon the doctor S
son married a sister of the doctors wife.
Then a brother of the doctO"'s wife mar
ried the doctors daughter. In other
words, the doctors son became his ste p
mothers brother-in-law, and the doctors
daughter became her stepmother's sister
in-law. The doctor by the marriage of his
son to the sister of the doctors wife, be-
came father.in law to his sisterin-law,
and the doctors wife, by the marriage of
her sister to her stepson, became step
moCher-in-law to her own sister. By the
marriage Of the brother of the doctors
wife TO the doctors daughter the doctor
became father-in-law to his brother-in-
law, and the doctors wife became step
mother-in-law to her own brother. 1t is
an unsolved problem as to what relation
ship the children of the contracting par
ties are to each other.

Forest Fire.
A special from Fokston, Ca, says tEat
a little son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison
Jacobs, who live near there in Charlton
county, was burned to death in a forest
fire one day last week. Mr.. Jacobs WAS
away from home and a forest fire was
raging in the woods near the house. Mrs.
Jacobs had left her little son in care of
fire was raging. She protected the fence
from the flames aud started to return
when she saw her oldest child standing
near her, where he had been for some
time. The boy had left his little brother
alone at the house and followed his
mother. The little child tried to find
his mother and rambled off about 200
yards from the house. He was crying
and did not see the flames as they reach
ed out for him. Blinded by the smoke
and frightened by the noise of the flames
he was overcome. The flames leaped
forward and grasped him in their h0rri
BILE embrace, and his screams were soon
hushed and his flesh was quickly con-
sumed. His mother returned to the
house and began a search for him. She
was Mortified to find her child dead and
the flames still feasting on his flesh. The
grief of the parents was hearsrending.
