AFTER A LONG CHASE.
Suspected Wife Murderer Arrested in
New York.

-.J.. -.., NcW T OFks
Boston, Feb. 26.-The arrest in New
York OF j. Wilfrid Blondin, the sus-
peeted wife murderer, ends one of the
most persistent searches ever made by
police authorities, especially those of
New York and this city. The man has
been a fugitive since last June, when
the headless body of his wife was
found in the woods at Chelmsford
Mass. The body was found June 9.
Two days later the missing portion
was found in brook some distance
away from the place where the body
had been. '7
The police learned that Mrs. Blon-
din and her husband had been living
in lodginghouse in this city. Sub
sequent Investigations disclosed evi-
dence which led to the theory that, in
a fit of passion due to jealousy, the
woman's husband had strangled her
and, concealing the body in trunk,
had taken it to Chelmsford at night
To. prevent Identification it was
thought the head was cut off and
thrown into the brook and the body
hidden in the woods.

DEFEATED THE TAX BILL.
Minnesota House Kills the Proposed
New Code.

st. Paul, Feb. 26.-The new tax code
has been defeated in the house, 80 to
54. Four members were absent, but
had they all been present and had they
voted for the bill, they could not have
saved it. Sixty votes would be requir-
ed to pass it..
Representative Jacobson and Sena-
tor Young had a hurried consultation
after the defeat of the bill and de-
clared that they would not only have
the vote reconsidered, but that they
would have the bill passed.
Mr.. Sageng, Otter Tail, who voted
against the bill, he said, because OF
the Wallace amendments, will make
the needed motion to reconsider. Then
the Wallace amendments can be re-
considered and perhaps eliminated.
The fate of the measure will again be
doubtful

fact that in 1887 there was competition which, if unrestricted, might modify the effect upon our consumers Of a high protective tariff. It was spoken of as too often strangled by combinations quite prevalent at this time, and ire quently called trusts, which have for their object the regulation of the sup ply and price on commodities made and sold by members of the combination. When this was written I suppose the trusts and combinations mentioned as quite prevalent, so far as they were at all important, might have been counted on the fingers of two hands. When the friends of the tariff last took up the work of its reconstruction these trusts and combinations had increased by hundreds. The consequence of their operation could not fail to be under stood. It was plain then. as now. that high protective tariffs defend against foreign competition, and that by agree ment association and confederacy in production and the price they demand ed, against competition at home. It was perfectly apparent that under the broad wings of protection and fattcneI by uEearned accumulation, they could complaCentIy close their ears to tho troublesome cry for easier living from the everyday consumer.
 T hardly need refer to the prevalence just at this time among supporters or high protection of the declarations and professions in favor of a tariff read justment. We hear. it on every side. What does it mean? It means that they see the handwriting on the wall as they never have seen it before. Does it mean that they are sincerely willing to do something for the people as ageinst their old comrades. who have heretofore paid we'll for the neglect of the people? How can we believe this when we see still paraded up and down before our sight the hOary- y-headed. blCa ted and malodorous old fraud and pretense that the tariff should be re- vised by its friends. l have attempted to give the reasons why this work should not be entrusted to these who have so fully demonstrated their insin- Cerity and unftness for the task

BURNING MOUNTAIN
 AFFECTS COFFEE MARKET
The Entire Coffee Zone h Guatamala
 Is Blasted.

San Francisco, Calf, October 3O- The entire coffee zone of Guatemala has been destroyed by the flames and smoke from the Santa Maria's blazing mouth. Eruptions threaten the de- struction of every living thing within reach of the flames and the fire that pours from the burning mountain.
 A cable to Castle Brothers, importers, of this city, received from their coffee plantation men in Guatemala tells a story of intense interest, though few details are given in the message by wire.
 Last Monday" says Louis Hersh of the firm, II wired to our representa- tives asking for news of the eruption of Santa Maria, and last night I received this reply to my telegram: It is true. Enormus losses. Terrible volcanic eruption. Coffee zone destroyed. Fur ther reports will follow
 The coffee district referred to-" said Mir. Hersh, "dre the Costa Cuca and Costa Granda. They are the finest plantations in the country. If the cof- fee district is destroyed as the cable seems to indicate, one-third of the crop is most likely involved.
 This volcano Santa Maria is located between Retalhulen and Quezaltenar- go. The towns in the neighborhood most likely to be destroyed are San Felipe, MazatenanSo and Quezaktengo. The volcano has been dead or sleeping many years.
 ''I was in the district last April at the time when earthquakes rocked the country. No volcanic eruptions accom- panied the quakes however"

morning wore a superior smile; their bosses had got in a great piece of fine work When the ballots showed up at the supervisors office-siX days late it was seen at once that more very coarse work must be charged up to some of the democratic campaign man agers. The paper upon which the bal lots were printed is what is technically known es "J'' book, machine finished; that it, it is of such poor quality that the letter J is taken to designate it's "jay" character. And it was not even a good quality of "J'' book-it was "J" book of No. quality, and very thin and transparent-Cf about 70 pounds weight.
 As soon as the attention of Supervis- ors Marshall and Hunsaker was called to the job they rejected the whole lot of ballots and instructed Clerk NeTi Osborn to destroy them. Some speci- mems are preserved as souvenirs, how ever. MT. Dunbar was ordered to print more ballots, and Cn paper according to his contract.
 Respectable democrats around town yesterday, including some of the candi- dates wk3 were interviewed on the
 
 ton. It was at once admitted that such palpable frauds against the fran chise would not be tolerated in Mari ccpa county, and the job was generally re eferred to as another monumental blunder of the democratic campaign.
 It is understood that Mir. Dunbar is also very indignant, and that he is dis posed to WTeak vengeance on the un scrurulCus people who had the effroH- te.-y to come into his office and substi ute fraudulent paper for the honest ballet paper without his knowledge.
 As might have been expected, the re- criminations excuses and explanations in the democratic camp were highly entertaining last night. One eXplana- tion put forth-and @ few charitable democrats tried to believe it-was that the fiimsy paper was used because no other kind was obtainable in the city. And to give verity to the story stress was laid on the fact that 23,OOO ballots are required, which calls for a vast quantity of paper. But it was not eX- plained why the printing house did not order standard ballot paper, the paper used being received only a short time ago.
 The more the conspirators founder and explain, the deeper they fall into the pit. The story of a limited paper supply is ridiculous, in view of the fact tht The Republican has car loads Of paper on hand and can furnish the standard ballot paper by the ton, in weights from sixty pounds up to one hundred pounds per ream.

 The arbitrators had an interesting day and returned to their hotel at 6:3O o'clock tonight grimy from coal dust and tired after eight busy hours of ob- servation and investigation.
 The arbitrators had to endure many discomforts, to make their way through wet places in mines, almost crawl along some of the gangways in the workings and pass through clouds of
