An Irish Gamekeeper's Extraordinary Shot.
David Reid,a gamekeeper at Aber-
low castle, T%ipperary, writes to the
London Field to tell about a shot
which has seldom been equaled.
Reid was hunting woodcock on a
preserve late in the season with a
shotgun, when he saw two deer
jump up and run away, He raised
his gun and fired when the animals
were about 80 yards off, On going
to the place the hunter found that
he had killed both deer with No. 6
shot. Other men have killed two
deer, elk or even bears with one rifle
bullet, but Reid is probably the first
man to kill two deer with such fine
shot as skies.

For miles the ground around Canudos is

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 2S.-All the

are marching 10 the mines preceded by
bands.
Dearmitt has an old Injunction against
the miners officials forbidding them from

RAISING REVENUE
FROM TOURISTS
The New Tariff Law Is
Working Like g

Elaborate WardrobeS of For

Duty Free.
Heavy Assessmen on Americans
Who Have Just Returned
From Europe.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July %. - The
White Star liner Majestic, the first of the
big ocean steamships TO arrive with a
large mum Der of returning American tour
lists since the new tariff became law,
came into port this morning. She had
199 first cabin passengers. Every ono OF
these had to pay something more into the
treasury of the United States than they
would have done week earlier. Under
the ole law the treasury would have re-
celved from the Majestlc's passengers
about $500; it received to-day $2S41 96.
Under the old law person could bring
over free as many articles OF clothing and
personal adornment as necessary for his
comfort and convenience during the voy-
age' and as much more as had been worn.
Under the new law when residents of the
United States return no more than $l00
in value of articles purchased abroad can
be admitted free.
Premier Reid of New South Wales was
among the passengers. He watched the
proceedings and finally remarked to Nor
ris X. Jessup, tie banker. another pas
senger: Iii you Americans are as eager
to be honest with one another as you
seem to be with your Government you
are the most honest people on earth. This
is one of the finest examples of patriotism
| have ever seem.
As fast as declarations were made each
passenger received the usual certificate.
On the pier these certificates were pre-.
sented at the desk of the deputy collector.
Then the luggage, piece by piece, was ex-
amined, and it was found that a great ma
j)rity OF the passengers had told the
truth in their declarations.
Tho vice president of the Merchants
and Manufacturers' Board of Trade was at
the pier to see how the new law worked,
and said: at is just what we needed.
Under the old law persons would spend
thousands of dollars abroad for clothing
and jewels and bring them in fee. They
can't now, ana the money will be spent on
this side. II it isn't the treasury will s.
cure the revenue, so it's about as broad as
long. THIS ono provision of the Dingley
bill will at certain seasons put at least
SIS 900 week into the treasury"

Grand Jury to-day express the belief that
they will escape indictment. In q state
ment to-day, Requesens said:
If President Iglesias should investigate
the matter thoroughly, he would find that
the counterfeit money was to nave been
used to overturn his Governments and,
furthermore, lie might be able to fasten
the connterfeiting scheme upon his Minis
ter of War. Abel Qu1roz, nephew of the
Minister of War assured me that his
uncle would be the successor OF President
1giesias, who had prom ised 10 use his
influence III having his uncle elected. l

would step out and give possession to any
one. To this Qulroz replied: 'lglesias
has made that promise to my uncle and
he will have to fulfill it, because my uncle
has the means TO compel him 10 do so.'''
Requesens intim ated that others of
Igleslas' officials are implicated.

B0ST0h'S MURDER MYSTERY.
Strange Disappearance OF $500 in
Connection With the Death of
Alice Barrett

BOSTON, MASS, July 2S.-The Alice
Barrett mystery deepens. Did Alice Bar
rett take the $500 which was paid 10 her
in the Office of Goldman & Goldman last
Saturday morning. and, ii she did, what
has become of il? The money was paid
by a tenant of the Bailey estate. It was
received by Miss Barrett and posted in the
lie iger. 1t should have been found in the
safe, but it was not. according to the testi-
monv given by Walter NJ. Briggs, one of
the clerks in the Goldman Office, to Fire
Marshal Whitcomb this morning. II
Miss Barrett took it, what did she do with
it in the short space of time which must
have elapsed between the hour she left the
office on Saturday afternoon and the hour
at which she returned TO it? This is a
question which will furnish material for
some interesting answers for those who
have been claiming that the girl was MUIR
dered. and that the motive may have been
robbery.
The name OF the person to whom the
noted $500 was loaned was given 10 the
Fire Marshal by Mrs. Barrett this morn
ing 1t was given in strictest confidence,
however. and the Fire Marshal says he
will not divulge it. He has also obtained
n statement from w. II. Foss, parts of
which have been given HIM under a
pledge of secrecy. 1t relates to Mr.. Foss'
connection with the dead girl. but Mar
shall Whitcomb says it has nothing to do
with the fire. On the otner hand, he will
not say that tn. person to whom the $500
was loaned is free from any connection
with the fire. There is good reason for
believing that the mysterious person to
whom the amount of money was loaned
was a woman and not, as has been all
along supposed. man. 1t is certain that
Miss Barrett was on very Intimate rela-
tions with woman, who was client of
the Codmans Mrs. Barrett and others
gave some interesting evidenc, on this
point to the Fire Marshal.

sugar magnate, says he has found by
investigation that the Sugar Trust has
in storage between 100000 and zoe, 900
tons of raw sugar, from which it will
realize through the increase of the
tariff profit of about $40, 1000, 900.
Congressman Warner of New York
has discovered why the Sugar Trust is
so anxious to have ad valorem duties
on sugar Ad valorem duties are lev
led on the cost of the raw sugar in the
market. BY reason of its monopoly
the Trust forces down the price of the
raw sugar and thus reduces the duty it
has to pay on the imported raw sugar
and Of course greatly increases the
differential in its favor on the refined
product, the price of which it also con-
trolls.
In the annual report of the President
of the HaN allan Commercial and Sugar
Company it is stated that the contracts
of the Sugar Trust with many of the
sugar planters in the Sandwich Islands
expire January next, and it is charged
that the movement to repeal the reci-
procity treaty with Hawaii, under the
plea that the beet sugar interests
should be protected, is prompted by
the Sugar Trust to avoid the danger Of
independent refneries using Hawaiian
sugar on the Pacific Coast The whole
scheme is said to be engineered in the
interest of the Trust to shut off indie.
pendent refneries and squeeze the Ha-
waiian planters.
Since Senator Aldrich made his re-
markable defense of the sugar sched-
ulc great deal of light has been
thrown or the workings of the Trust
in connection with the sugar schedule
and its possibilities of profit. Another
defense is in order. 1t is a difficult
task, but Senator Aldrich should not
shrink from the patriotic duty of try
to convince the people that they ought
to be heavily taxed to save the profits
of Havemeyer, Searles and other wor-
thy millionaircs st. Louis Republic.

suppose we get reduction in freight

be. A man in Stafford county, Kas.,
five miles from the station, produces
corn and hauls it to the station, same
as the producer in Kansas City, and
pays cents per bushel freight from
Stafford to Kansas City. Is there any
man on earth, railroad mngnate,

that the producer in the vicinity of
Kansas City does not receive cents

Stafford county neighbor? Suppose,
again, he could get a reduction of A
cents per bushel, who doubts that he
would receive cents more for his corn?

of the parties, and will give q synopsis
