Neither Mr.. Haner nor Mr.. Mar

sample ballots were printed on
yellow paper, as required by law.
For the whole job Of printing the
tickets the PIONEER charged Mr..
Martin 500, a fair amount for do.
ing the work. Consequently, at
the price Mr.. Martin charged for
the work, $721.25, and which he
collected, some one must have
made living profit. In the Pro
NEER's opinion, the amount OF

INFANT MORTALITY.
Is Large in Samoa. Due to Ignorance
 About Dieting.

Tuitila, Samoa, March 27, via San Francisco, April 11,--A census of the population of the Samoian group has been taken. The number of Samoians in Upola and other islands under the German government is 32,000, while the population of the six islands under the United States government is re- turned at $500.
 The very slight increase during the last thirty years is about the same in proportion all round. The infant mor- tality is greatest and this is due in q large measure to the ignorance and cGrelessness in dieting the young.
 1t is not unusual to see mother feeding her infant from the mouth after she has herself masticated the food intended for the child It is only since the United States took pos session that people have been able to receive medical service and treatment. With sanitary laws now in force and the laws concerning the health of the people generally throughout the island it is hoped that during the next dec ade there will be considerable in- crease of the native population.
 Governor B. F. Tilley returned from New Zealand on the Abarenda on March 14. The natives showed their delight at the governors return by giving number of feasts in his hon. or.
 Magisterial returns from all justices have been sent into the high court of all cases tried by magistrates up to the end of last month. The reports indi- cated great improvement among the Samoans. The statements. together with the regular reports of the native governors and other officials are care fully prepared and are models of neat ness. The native officers are not lack ing altogether in education. but there is good opportunity for the United States to assist them in their desire to obtain greater knowledge.

HELD FOR FORGERY
Patrick. Meyers and Short
 Waive Examination.
DECISION TO BE GIVEN MONDAY
rhe Famous Forgery and Murder Case Ended for the Present-Testinony Introduced To-day Several Hand writing Experts Were Examined.

New York, April 1l.-Lawycr Albert n. Patrick, who is charged with hay ing caused the death Of William Marsh Rice, the Texas millionaire. Will prob ably know this afternoon whether Justice Jerome will hold him to await the action of the grand jury on the capital charge. It is generally expect cd that the testimony in the commit ment proceedings will be all in by this afternoon.
 The first witness to-day was William J. Kinsiey. who was called by Assist ant District Attorney Osborne as an expert on handwriting. The witness was handed several checks paid by Swensen & Co and signed by William Sf. Rice and then was handed the 1900 will and the checks for $25,O00 and $65.000, dawn on Swensen & Co, in favor of Patrick. MT Kinsley saii that in his opinion the signatures on the will and on the S25,0O0 and S65,- 600 checks were not written by the person who signed the checks present ed by the prosecution as bearing the genuine signature of William M Rice.
 MT Osborne then handed the witness the assignment on the Fifth Avenue aSl COAAptlIS uA0 What 4S hAAOn II eho the Cremation letter." and Kinsley said: II have already compared the signatures on these papers with the admitted signatures of the late Mir Rice and say that in my opinion they were not written by the same person.
 Defendants counsel Moore then asked the witness if he had any per sonal Knowledge of the handwriting of MT Rice other than that certain sig natures were shown him as being in Mir Rice's handwriting, and the expert replied that he had no personal knowl- edge of the Handwriting of MT Rice and said further that he had never seen MT Rice
 David N. Carvalhoe. another hand writing expert was called. He cor roborated Kinsley's testimony.

 At the close of the taking of testi- rnony and the arguments in the case this afternoon. Justice Jerome said that he would withhold his decision as to whether the case was sufficiently strong to hold Patrick OH the charge of murder. On the charge of forgery Patrick, David l.. Short and Maurice Meyers waived examination and were held for the grand jury.

REFORM IN TAXATION.
The English Press Agitating in That
 Direction.

i ,
 New York, April 1.-The attention of the English press is directed once more to the reform system of taxa ton which the chancellor of the ex- chequer may find it expedient to rec ommend in the budget speech, says the London correspondent of the Tri- bune. Two journals have been eau tiously coaching him for this. The Daily Mail has been advocating a tar if virtually of the protective order, for several months, and it's protests against unlimited direct taxation has been even more strongly accentuated since the return of Alfred Harmsworth from America. The Times bombard- ment of the existing taxation is more destructive. The anonymous core spondent writes like an another Sir Robert Giffen ill his mastery of finan- cfal controversy and the science of economies. Every shot is deliberately aimed at graduated income taxes and prospective death duties as the sole re sources of the treasury in an imperial crisis.
 The alliance of those two journals for what dissatisfied tories describe as tariff reform fills the liberals with joy. Already they are forecasting a general revival of the liberal party, if the free trade system be asasiled. Nothing more than sugar duties can be ex- pected from Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. Far sighted men in English politics are convinced that sweeping changes in tne- tariff can be justified only by q deliberate effort to take mp the busi- nose eifIa of tho irnnariaI Federation for tine benefit of the colonies, and that Mir Chamberlain is the only statesman ca pable of making so tremendous a fight.

Generating Steam in Three Minutes.
 New York, April 11.-United States circuit court of appeals. called ill spe- cial session, Judge Wallace presiding, will review q judgment today for S951, ,070.1O, with interest. The case is being carried on by the executors of William Bricl1ili, who first brought action against the city in January, 1871.
 Bricaill, a fireman in the old Volun- teer department, patented a method of keeping water hot in the boilers of the engines so that steam could be generated in two or three minutes. He left the department in 1871 and demanded S50.000 from the city. He received what he considered seant con sideration and began suit for S2,SOO,- GOO. Nine years later the patents were sustained by Judge Wheeler. In May, 1900, Judgment was entered against the city for S951. .07O.10.
 Litigation in this case has cost the city of New York more than $3OO,OO At one time the case was about set tied, but William c. Whitney, who was corporation counsel, interfered, and after careful investigation gave it as his opinion that the patent was in- valid.

CoUNTERFEITER CAPTURED.
Is Pronounced to Be an Expert at the
 Business.

Chicago, April 11.-Upon receiving news of the capture ill New York of John Albert Skoog, who is pronounced by officials of the United States secret service one of the most expert coun- terfeiters. Captain Porter. of the Unit ed States secret service. located in this city, at once made arrangements to have him returned to Chicago for trial. Judge Kohlsaat issued a bench war rant for the prisoner, and q copy of the indictment, which was voted sey- eral years ago, was mailed to the au- thorities i'll the east. The arrest was considered of so much importance that a cablegram was sent to the authori- ties in Sweden, who have been wait ing to take possession of Skoog as soon as the United States government got through with him.
 SkOog was arrested in this city on January 27, 1897. for passing q $2O counterfeit bill. Government officers searched his house and secured a com plete outfit for making the bogus bills. Besides they found eighty seven $2O bills and over $3,O00 worth of bogus Swedish kroner notes.
 Pending a hearing of his case by the federal grand jury. Skoog was con- fined in the county jail at Joliet, while the Cook county jail was being con- structed. Early in the morning of March 9 he made his. escape with two other alleged counterfeiters. James Fo-. ley and Jacob Johnson The latter two sawed the window bars of the jail. while Skoog smothered the sounds by playing an accordion.
 Skoog is said to have re-engaged in counterfeiting the same bills since his escape

TO TEST FIELD GUNS.
United States Army Not As Well
 Equipped As Other Nations.

Equipped As Other Nations.
 Washington, April 11.-Preparations are making for quite an extensive and important test of field guns at Sandy Hook some time in May. At present the army is not well equipped with field guns, compared with other na- tions, and the war department wishes to maintain the very best guns possf- ble for the equipment of this import ant branch of the service. The tests at Sandy Hook will be under the di- rection of the board of ordinance and Notifications composed of Lieutenant General Miles, commanding the army, General Wilson. chief of engineers, General Burlington, chief of ordnance; Colonel Rodgers, artillery corps; Col onel Randolph, chief of artillery; ex- Representative Henderson, the civilian member of the board, and two artillery officers yet to be assigned to the board. The board not only will test such guns as may be presented by manufacture CTS and inventors but it is expected that the new gun modelled on the plan of the French field gum and construct ed under the direction of the board of ordnance and notifications will be tested. The plans for this gun were obtained by an army officer who was sent last summer and who claimed to have secured complete details of this gun which artillery experts have as- serted is the best in the world. The mechanism of this gun has been con- cealed and it's secret carefully guard ed by the French government. The report that the United States army had obtained the plans of the French gun caused considerable comment at the time it was madeJpublic. and since then the procedure of the department with reference to the gun have been watched with interest by ordnance ex- perts. The French government has not guarded more carefully the mechanism of it's gun than the board of ordnance has the making of the new field gun which is expected to be test ed in May.
