The Chancellor of the Exchequer In

the yield Of the death duties for the year
to be ended March 81, 1903. at a million
less than In the previous year. when the
revenue from this source-the largest ever

The amount received In 19Oo-1e01 was

was due. to. the payment OF duty on

concerned The arrangement appears to
be still in force.
The receipts from the death duties up

BROWN SOUGHT DEATH
LATE RECORDER OF PIrTsBURa
 THOUGHT or SUICIDE.
Member of Family in Which He Boarded Tells of His Attempt
 to Take Poison and Search For Pistol.

Pittsburg, July a-The investigation by the coroner as to the cause of the death of the late Recorder J. o. Brown was resumed today. Miss Susie Mclean member of the family with whom Brown was boarding and in whose home he died. testified that Brown was decidedly il' when he returned from New York March 13.
 After breakfast he lay down to take a sleep and when time came for him to go to his office we could not awaken him. I teiephoned to pr. McKeiyey and told him that Mir. Brown was lying in stupor as a result of taking trional pow ders. The doctor replied: There's notn- ing to do but let him sleep it out. Take all the powders and his revolver out of his room
 The witness then related how the re- volver was removed and how. when the box that had contained the trionai was found 1t was empty. It had contained fifteen powders.
 Dr. McKelvey called to see him the next day. He gave instructions again that all medicine and drugs were to be removed from the room and that Brown was not to be left alone at any time Some time tter the doctor left Brown made an attempt to get the witness to go to the cellar after lithia water. Her sis ter Nettie had been sent out of the room by Brown on the pretense that he wanted a baked apple. The witness wWuld not leave the room but finally Brown induced her to leave. She went out into the hall way and watched him. He went to a drawer in a bureau and took out small box. The witness went in and after a struggle got the box. She noticed the word Cyanide on the box.
 Miss Mclean told at length how Brown tried to get her and others out of the
 A uI kL.A vta1 Rt he pretended to withdraw she saw him go to the chiffonier where the revolver had been kept and make search apparently for 1t. Later he was permitted to so into another room where revolver had also been kept on a chiffonier and he made hunt there for revolver.
 His keys. the witness went on to say. had been taken from him Saturday so that he could not get into drawers where he was supposed to have drugs. Sunday he was so much peter that it was be- lieved that his tranquility of mind had been restored. He asked for his keys and they were given to him. He was left alone at times during Sunday The wit ness gave Brown his last dose at 2:15 p. m. Sunday. 1t was trychnia. He was seemingly recovering then but about 3 o'clock he fell into a stupor and died at 4 o'clock.
 While 1t was not said by the witness the inference was that Brown had se- cured poison during a moment he was left alone in the room. The witness said:
 About two or three weeks before he died heard him say he would die be- fore he would go back to live with his wife,
 Miss Nettie Mclean told similar story to that related by her sister.
 The coroner ordered an adjournment until July 10.

About a year ago a company
 was organized in Los Angeles to
 be known as the California
 Mexican Land and Cattle Com
 pany. H. c. Otis of the Times
 Mirror Company is said to be one of the principal promoters
 of the scheme. The company had for its object the reclama-
 tion and colonization of the An drade concession, an immense
 tract of land lying along the Colorado river and in Lower California. A portion of this land had been bonded by An drade to an organization known as the Petaluma Company. The land controlled by this company has an aggregate acreage of $50, ,000. This immense tract was absorbed by the new company and also 13, 3,000 acres owned by third party, of which 5000 are in the United States and 10000 in Lower California. Between these two diviSians of land lies a large tract of unknown acreage, owned by General Andrade and which it is the purpose of the Los Angeles company to also control. To determine the acre age of it surveyors have been at work for the past tseveralm months. Contracts have also been let to sectionize the Petaluma tract and surveyors are now employed on that work.
 Another tract of land compris- ing about five million acres, and lying to the southwest of the Petaluma land and owned by the International Company of Lower California, is also being surveyed. It appears that under the super vision of General BlancO the boundary lines of this conces- sion were run some thirty odd years ago and an effort is now being made to establish the con cession on the lines then run; but all traces of this former sur vey have been lost and consider able difficulty is being expert enced in re-establishing the grant on the old lines.
 Nearly all of the lands under these concessions are said to be | very rich and capable, with 1 proper irrigation, of growing l almost anything that can be planted on them. The 5000 1 acres of the 13,000-acre tract, in the neighborhood of Calexico. California, are at present under The several compa- nies have pooled issues on the surveys and a MT. Thomas has the contract for doing the work. One of his assistants, Mir. Geo. Grass, was at the Gandolfo re- ;ently, and gave the foregoing information.

The Arizona Journal Miner says: ''The legislature is ended. With the exception Of the pass age of the Cowan bill not a sin gle promise made in the demo- cratic platform was redeemed. A halfway eight-hour law was passed, but it did not reach the men it was intended to reach. The mine inspector bill. the freight and fare bill, anti black list, tax exemption repeal, all went by the board, while three new tax exemption bills were added to the statute. No one is surprised at the result, though, except the dupes who were in veigled into voting the demo- cratic ticket under the promises made.
