TAKEN FOR A FILIBUSTER.
English Steamer Delaware Stopped
by a U. S. Revenue Cutter.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 15.-The Clyde
steamship Delaware, Captain 1ngraham
which arrived in port yesterday from
Boston, had quite an unexpected Ven
ture just before daylinght when off the
bar, being mistaken for filibuster by
the dispatch boat dolphin.
About O'Clock in the morning David
Kemps, one of the bar pilots, took out
a small launch bound for ST. Augustine
After getting out he gave the owner of
the launch his bearings The pilot then
lay by in his skiff, waiting for the Del
aware The Dolphin's searchlight was
being used almost constantly, and so
discovered the Delaware laying rather
close in shore. The light showed the
steamship that it was too near the
shore, and it Immediately headed out
AT the same time the launch had lost
it's position, the compass failing to work
and instead of proceeding south,it head
ed east, apparently to meet the Della
ware.
This aroused the suspicion of the Dol
phin's officers and the vessel went in
pursuit of the two crafts soon over
hauling them. An officer was put
aboard each vessel and they were es-
corted back to the bar. The officer
aboard the Delaware reporting that
vessel all right, it was allowed to come
UP to the city, the officers remaining
aboard The captain of the launch ex-
planned and was allowed to proceed.

MAUD RAINS $4,000.
a Small Fortune by an
Austin Man.

Mrs. Maud Rain, who was formerly
known in Topeka Maud SWoffOrd,
will soon return to Topeka a moderately
wealthy woman. She has just been made
the legatee of a rich bachelor of Austin,
Tex. who left her fortune of $4,000.
Maud Rain has had rather checkered
career. About two years ago she was ar
rested in house on East Tenth street
and charged with keeping a disorderly
resort. AT the trial, however. she was
acquitted and soon after left Topeka and
never returned.
As the story goes while Mrs Rain was
in Austin, Tex, she met a wealthy man
who had no family. He became infatu-
ated with her and there was talk Of her
securing a divorce from her husband anC
marrying the man. Before proceedings
could be commenced or a marriage made
the man died. Before his death he made
a will in which he beQueathed to Mrs.
Rain SIS. 900 in money.
The matter is now in the probate court
and it is said in Topeka that there will
be contest. but the estate will be turn
ed over at once.
Mrs. Rains husband is one of the best
known engineers on the Santa Fe rail-
road AS soon as, the estate is settled
Mrs. Rain will return to Topeka in her
new CAPACITY of capitalist.

TEST FOR IMMIGRANTS.
Their Admission to America to De
pend on Their Education.

Washington, Jan. ia conference in
the immigration bill which has passed the
senate and house in different forms was
held by the representatives of the two
houses yesterday. On account of the alb
sence of Senator Lodge, chairman of the
senate conferees. no conclusion was
reached but it was apparent that there
would be no difficulty in coming to an
agreement
Some of the house members manifested
a disposition to hold out for the part of
the bill as it passed the senate which was
known as the Corliss amendment and
which made it unlawful to employ aliens
in any form of labor in this country, but
the indications from this meeting is that
this feature of the bill will be abandoned.
Senator Chandler suggested substitutes
for these sections of the house bill less
stringent in character. but they were APP
parently quite determined in their oppo-
