THE PULLMAN HEIRS.
Must ray Inheritance Tax OF About

Chicago, Oct. 27.-George NJ. Pull
mans estate will pay some $500. 900 into
the treasury of the state OF Illinois.
This estimate is made on the basis that
the estate reaches 100000 The in
heritance tax law, recently upheld by
the supreme court in the John B. Drake
estate case, provides that each bene-
ficiary shall give the state one TO five
dollars for each 500 received. The
widow and children must pay the one
dollar. and more distant relatives and
other benefciaries must pay more.
There is little prospect of an attack on
the law. The fees for probating the
will aggregate about 100000 This,
with the probate fees. executors fees
and other emoluments, will take about
$500, 900 out OF the estate.

Woodford's version OF Spnin's Reply
-IntImntcs That IL Is Considcrnte.
Washington, Oct 2s.-The event Of
the day at the state department was the
receipt Of the long-eXpected cablegram
from United States Minister Woodford
AT Madrid transmitting the answer of
the Spanish government 10 his repre-
sensations in the interest OF peace in
Cuba. The translation from the cipher
into English occupied nearly all day,
so that il was half-past three o'clock
before the first fair copy of the mes
sage was turned out IL was not so
long; in fact. there were a little less
than 1000 words in the message, for
Mr.. Woodford, instead OF cabling the
whole OF the Spanish answer TO his note,
had contented himself with reducing
the matter to a brief outline. The first
copy was taken at once 10 the presi-
dent, not being entrusted to messen-
ger, but being delivered 10y Chief Clerk
Michaels in person at the white house.
After due opportunity had beeg al
lowed the president TO read the mes
sage an application was made for n
statement of its contents or nature.
This was declined by Secretary Porter,
and il was said that under no circum-
stances would the correspondence be
made public before consideration of the
cabinet.
From unofficial information that has
reached certain administration officials
In advance OF this message Of Mr.. Wood
ford's as 10 the nature of the Spanish
reply, il is evident that in neither lam
guage nor subject matter Is the com
munication likely TO be taken as often
siyc by our government. Ii may be. it
is true, regarded as insufficient TO meet
the issue presented by Mr.. Woodford
in his note, but officials OF the state
department say that IN view OF what
has already been accomplished by the
new Spanish cabinet in reforming
abuses In Cuba, in removing Weyler
and in projecting what appears TO be
liberal measure OF autonomy, our gov
eminent will certainly rest. at least I'M
oil congress assemblies, and afford the
new Spanish government n reasonable
time TO carry out its plans.

MORMUNS in WESTMINSTER.
Missionaries at Work in This City, Making
a House to House Canvass.

Two Mormon elders were in this city for
some days making house to house-to-house
canvass, their method being simply to leave at
each house pamphlet containing a state
ment of the "Doctrines of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the title
they give the Mormon Church. They endeav
ored to obtain permission to preach in some
of the churches here, making requests to that
effect to the pastors of the Lutheran, Meth
odist Protestant and Methodist Episcopal con-
gregations, without meeting with success.
They were unable to procure hall for that
purpose, as they travel without purse or
scrip"
The names of these missionaries are George
NJ White and Samuel S. Florence. White
has been in this county since last fall, and
Florence but short time. Elders A. NJ.
Palmer and George W. Paris were also here
for a short time, but the former left some
time ago, and the latter recently went to
Prince Georges county.
Elder White says there are now seventeen
thousand Mormon elders at work as mission
aries all over the world, and that converts are
rapidly multiplying. As yet no citizen of
Carroll county has indicated a purpose to
accept the Mormon doctrines. The mission
aries have only preached four times in this
county, one time each at Oakland, Elders
burg, Melrose and Ebergs. They are men of
pleasant address and of modest demeanor.
