BODY OF LITTLE GIRL
FOUND IN A CHIMNEY.
The Police Thought She Had Been
Kidnapped.

Kidnapped.
New York, May 12.-Wrapped in rags
in a chimney at her home in Third
avenue, the body of 6-year-old Joseph
inc McCahll, who has been missing
since May 2, was found tonight. The
body was lodged near the top of the
chimney, and it was necessary to tear
away part of the masonry to release
1t. 1T is thought that the body, which
was terribly cut up and mutilated,
was placed there within a day or two.
The McCahill case has attracted
much attention, the belief being that
the child was kidnapped. Rewards ag-
gregating $3.50 were offered by various
persons for her recovery, and mass
meetings were held to consider plans
for conducting the search.
Tonight "A letter was received by
Mrs. McCahill, the child's mother,
which read:
May 9, 1904.-Dear Friend: AS you
made such a fuss l was compelled to
kill Josie. If you give $500 to boy
will send you, you can have the
body. H. NJ.
"P. S.-Don't mind stories you hear"
The police considered this letter as
the work of some heartless meddler.
After leaving her home on May to
play in the street the child was seen
in Third avenue with a man, described
as tall land dark. She had a bag of
candy in her hand, but was crying.
That is all the police have had to
work on. Their search has proceeded
on the belief that the man was an
Italian and that the girl would eventu
ally be found in one of the italian
colonies in this or some nearby city.
An examination of the body later dis
closed that it was badly decomposed.
but that it had not been mutilated 1t
has been learned that children of the
neighborhood have been accustomed to
hide in the chimneys while at play on
the roofs and the police now believe
that the McCahill child climbed into
the chimney and fell into it.
Twice to-day before the body was
found, a well-dressed young woman
called at the McCahill home and said
that she had a Dresentment that the
child would be found in the chimney.
On her second visit she expressed sur
prise that a search of the chimney had
not been made on her previous sug-
gestion. She refused to give her name
or address and the police are now try
ing to find her. 1t was after her sec
ond visit that the investigation was
made which resulted in the finding of
the body.

st. Petersburg, May 12.-The follow
ing statement has been officially COM
nlunicated to the press:
The war. which broke out in spite
of the peaceful intentions of Russia,
found the finances of the empire in "a
satisfactory position.
The effective capital of the Ex-
chequer, which at the beginning of the
year amounted to 1S2.O0O,O00 roubles,
has been more than doubled uD to the
present by reason of the diminution
of the budget expenses. Now the
whole sum at the disposal of the Ex-
chequer exceeds 300, 900, 900 roubles.
Despite this, the war expenditure
must be very considerable, and on this
account it has been thought prudent
to discover a new method for provid-
ing funds. These funds might be bor-
rowed from the state bank to the ex-
tent of 100000 roubles, but in order
to avoid expending the effective capi-
tai at the risk of a disturbance of
the money in circulation, and as the
government wishes to see Russia at
the end of the war in the same steady
financial position as before the out
break of hostilities, the Finance Min
lister has considered it necessary to
have recourse to an external loan.
by imperial order of May IL, for
an increase in the war funds, the is
sue of a per cent. external loan for
short term has been decided upon
with nominal capital of 300, 900, 900
roubles, or SOO,OOO,OOO francs, under the
title of 3 per cent. state exchequer
bonds of 1904 free forever from Rus
sian taxes. On May IA, 1909, these
bonds will be redeemable at the issue
price and must be presented for re-
demption in Paris
The tiotation of the loan is entrusted
TO the Netherlands Bank, the Credit
Lyonnais and Hottinguer & Co., of
Paris"
The statement published in the for
elgn press that after this loan another
VIII be issued in Germany is official
ly declared to be without foundation.

day. The Hearst followers had peen
wrought to a high pitch of deternina-

at the Claypool Hotel assembly room
by the Rev. Sam Small of Georgia,
and C. A. Windle of Chicago. The
Rev. Sam Small advised against vOt-

The convention instructed the thirty
