AN ALLEGED KIDNAPPING.
Wealthy Young Man Taken From
Father by Relatives.

Wealthy Young Man Taken From
Father by Relatives.
New York, June 22.-The New York
Journal says:
Moses Fowler Chase, young man
whose fortune is said to be $60O,0 and
whose mental faculties have been more
or less disordered, is at the Waldorf-As.
toria hotel with an aunt and an uncle
who are charged with having abducted
him.
The motive of the alleged crime Is said
to be the securing of Chase's fortune
from possible waste. The fortune would
revert upon his death to Mrs. Charles H.
Duehme, the aunt with whom he IL stay.
ing at the Waldorf-Astoria.
Mr.. Chase received his property by in
heritance from his grandfather, who was
one of the richest men in Indiana. His
father, Frederick Chase, a lawyer was
his guardian up to few days ago, when
the young man became of age.
The first intimation received here that
there had been an abduction and that the
person abducted and the alleged abduct-
ors were expected to come to this city
was a request from the police of Lafay-
cite and Cleveland to the Metropolitan
pVllee tHul liz lHtLcT lOOh AOi lAclh.
The father, Frederick Chase, lawyer
of Lafayette, Ind, intended to take his
son before the probate court, In order
that he might he reappointed his guard
ian. With this purpose, he removed the
young man from the Oak Grove sani-
tarium at Flint, Mich, and was on the
way to Lafayette with him, when at the
railway station in Detroit they We're met
by Mr.. and Mrs. Duehme and man, evil
IDENTIFY in their service, who represented
himself as trained nurse. Young Chase
was seized and thrust into a carriage,
which was driven away at top speed to
the Hotel Cadillac.
The aunt and uncle later drove with
the young man to the railway station
and took an eastern train. The father
caused detectives to shadow them. A
change of train was made at Cleveland.
at Albany the detectives lost SIGHT Of
them, and they cume on to New York
and to hotel here without police inter-
ference.
Hearing that they We're charged with
the abduction of the boy, they went to
police headquarters and made a state
ment of the facts of the case from their
point of view to Chief of Detectives Nc
Clusky, who decided that he had no
ground on which to arrest them.
Meantime applications have been made
by Mr. Chase's lawyer In Indiana for
extradition papers, on which to take
young Mr.. Chase back to that state.

San Francisco, June 22.-Dr. Charlea
A. McQueston, who was on the staff OF
General e. s. Otis and who was health
officer at Manila, has returned home, In

Captain McQueston made close
study Of the conditions Of the Philippine
situation. He is of the opinion that II
will take from 100000 to 100000 soldiers
to properly subdua and hold the islands
He also says that the peace commission
was an absolute failure and that It's work
from the start was without effect. He
strongly supports the military govern
meat Of the islands, except that he thinks
more men will be necessary than has
been estimated. DR.. Schurman knows

coming home In July, says Captain Nc

sent to the aid Of our men there they
will be driven back into Manila In the

not stand the climate. Fifty per cent OF
them will be incapacitated by sickness,
and the territory overrun will have to be
abandoned. Manila will be in a state Of
siege again.

Increase In Customs Receipts.

The receipts from customs show graf
flying increase. For the month of No
vemher last year the customs yielded
$13,335 900, and for the following five
months there was n gradual increase I'M
til March, which produced nearly $21,-
100000 OF late there has been slight
falling off.
The expenditures up to this time ag-
grcgate about $60O.000,0OO. or this
amount S223, 100000 was paid out on req
uisitions from the war department, $64,-
600 900 on account of the navy, $780,
600 600 on account of pensions and near
ly $40,0o0.O00 on account of interest on
the public debt Twelve million six
hundred and seventy-fve thousand dol
lars was paid to the Indians, and Sill
20O, 600 was disbursed on civil and mis-
cellaneous account.
At this time it is impossible to state
with any degree Of certainty what the
war with Spain and the troubles in the
Philippines have cost during this year,
but an approximation has been made Of
the actual cash payments on these ac-
counts which places the amount at $780,,
100000. This includes the payment Of
500 100000 to Spain. the 100000 now
being dsbursed to the Cuban troops and
the interest charge on the loan made nee
essnry for the war.
A calculation has been made at the
treasury which shows that. leaving out
of the account the $230,OOO,O0O expended
this year on account of the war. the
$10O,0 900 produced by the war reve-
nue. act and the $11,79S,314 received
from the Central Pacific. the figures
would show surplus for the year APP
proximating $2O,000,00O.

TIN TREASURY DEFICIT
Will lie $62, 700. 900 Greater This Year
Than Lat.
GREAT ARRAY OF FIGURES,
Calculated Tint the War Revenue
Act VIII Realize For the Year
a Little Less Than
S1OO,OOO,OOO.

Washington, June 22.-It is regarded
as Il conservative estimate that the treas
ury deficit for the fiscal year 1899, which
closes ten days hence, will be less than
800, 100000. Already the receipts for
the year aggregate over $4DS, SOO,oOO,
with the Expenditures barely SlOO,OOO,OO
more, with ten days, judging from past
years, Of abnormally heavy receipts yet
to be accounted for.
During the year there have been two
heavy calls upon the treasury and one
large payment which could not have
been foreseen one year ago. In March
the government received $11 ,70S,314 on
account Of the settlement OF its claims
against the Central Pacific Railroad com
pany. During the same month $3,OoO-
600 was drawn out to pay Off the Cuban
insurgent army, and In April $20,OOo,ooo
was paid to Spain in settlement of treaty
, obligations. Leaving these three items
out of the account, the deficit this year
would not have exceeded $S9,OOO,O 900.
Up to this date the customs receipts
amount to over 5000, 100000. From In
ternal revenue $208, 55O, 900 was realized,
and from miscellaneous sources there was
received S3j,50O,000 During tho whole
of the fiscal year, 1893, receipts from
customs barely exceeded $149bOO,oOO
and from internal revenue less than
$171 100000. The total receipts from
all sources amounted to $405,321 ,835,
while the Expenditures aggregated S443,-
36S, $50, leaving a deficit Of S3S, O47 ,247.
More Expenditures This Year.
This year the expenditures will exceed
those OF last by about $lG5 100000, while
the deficit will be about $G2 ,O0O,0 900 great
or than last year. From the closest cal
culation that can now be made the war
revenue act which, with the exception Of
few items, went into effect July l.,
1898. will realize for the year little less
than 100000, 1000.
The receipts from tobacco alone will
probably show an increase for the year
Of over S15,00O,000 spirits an increase
Of $500, 600 beer and other fermented
liquors an Increase Of over S2S,OOO,ooO,
oleomargarine an increase of about $685.
600 and the receipts from special taxes,
documentary and proprietary stamps for
the year will likely bring the increased
receipts on account of the war revenue
act up to nearly 100000, 900.
The two items in that act which have
produced more than ten times as much
revenue as any two others are those re-
lating to documentary and proprietary
stamps. On April 80 last these items had
produced over $3G,500,oOO, and it is not
Improbable that by July l that amount
will be increased to over $44, 100000.
The tax on legacies will probably produce
not much In excess of $4,000 while
the special tax collected from bankers
will exceed S3.5OO,00O

For the past three days Col Gardiner
has been making a personal investiga-
ton into the death of Mrs Adams and
H. c. Barnet, the latter a member of
the Knickerbocker Athletic club, who
died in November under suspicious
circumstances. He is now confident
that the deaths are intimately connected,
although the murder of Mrs. Adams
was undoubtedly an attempt against
the life of Mr.. Cornish, physical in
structor of the Knickerbocker Athletic
club. The investigation relative to the
handwriting in the case has convinced
Mr.. Gardiner of these conclusions. Mr..

ming alarmingly short in many


places.
A difficult and really hazardous
piece of work to relieve the suspense
to Breckenridge, Como, Dillon and 9TH
er points around the frst-named camp
was successfully accomplished by the
Colorado & Southern railroad today, at
noon, when citizens, armed with SHOW
els, cleared off the South Park tracks
to. the depot in Breckinridge, and a
mueh-battered supply train crawled
into the town-the first inside of three
weeks. The situation at Breckenridge
was becoming critical. Food was
scarce, and the groceries kept in the
stores were at low ebb. Miners, pros
pectors, mill men and timber cutters
were coming in from the surrounding
hills, begging provisions. Breckfn-
ridge was a. beacons In sea of snow.
Slides In all directions made the roads
leading into the camps impossible. The
supply train included several freight
cars loaded with hay. grain, coal, beef,
flour and" groceries sufficient to last
about two weeks. It took nine hours
to make the run from Como to Breck-.
inridge-thirty-f miles.
At Leadville the supply Of coal is so
small that a forced shutdown Of
mines and smelters is threatened.
Railway men say the numerous
snow slides are unprecedented this
season Of the year, slides usually oc-
curing only in hesspring.
The cause now is the enormous
amount of snow in the mountains.

RUSSELL SAGE TRUST

BILL ON TENANTS,
RIGHTS.
LOOKS LIKE A "W00DCHUcs<'
measure introduced I'm the Senate
Friday That Has Caused Some
Suspicion In Certain Quarters az
to It's Public Inferest-It Is
Thought to Be Device for Mr.,
Sage's Benefit.

one Dill was introduced in the sem
ate Friday which has aroused some
adverse comment 1t was introduced
by Senator Young Rep.), of Swift
county, and, in substance, provides as
follows:
That in suit for rent it shall not
be proper defense for the tenant to
plead that the lessor is not the holder
of title in fee to the property leased.
unless the lessee has lease from
some other owner or claimant having
an adverse and tangible claim.
1t is evidently a case drawn to af-
rect class of cases which are numer-
Gus in new state like Minnesota, and
the fact that it is introduced by he
senator from Swift county has led to
its association in the minds of many
with the Hastings & Dakota land
grant cases, in which Lieut.. Gov. Lyn-
don A. Smith was charged with an
interest during the last campaign, and
which, The G o b e ventured the pre-
diction during the campaign, would be
the subject of attempted legislation
this winter
When the Hastings & Dakota road
was projected, it was given a liberal
grant, which, it has been contend
ed, was never earned, although the
promoters Of the road have insisted
that, as the road was afterward put
+ In operation, they were fairly entitled
to the grant, even if they had not COM
piled technically with the terms of the
grant. In the meantime, the railroad
going into the control of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul company. the
land grant, or the claim to 1t. went
into the hands Of Russell Sage, as trus-
tee. The legislature in 1895 declared
the grant forfeited, and Auditor Dunn
relinquished to the federal government
the lands previously granted to the
state for the benefit of the Hastings
& Dakota. The land department at
washington refused to accept the
proffered REIMBURSEMENT. and that left
the lands in a dubious state The
trustee went on making indemnity Sc
lections to the amount of the original
grant, and presented their selections
to State Auditor Dunn for approval.
The state auditor, however, has refus-
ed to accept them, in view of the de-
clared forfeiture of the grant, and lists
10 and Ii. SO known, are now pending
in his Office.
Meanwhile, settlers have been taking
up claims on the lands to which the
land company is fling claims also,
embracing much OF the most valuable
farming area of the heatsTaters of the
Minnesota river. and numberless con-
tests have been had in the land Office
at Marshall and in the courts.

these actual settlers in the interest of
