, conk duty wu assessed upon It, and when the cable company protested the protest mm overruled. The rulings of the department on these two questions are probably correct. But admitting free, as fish eggs, eggs that have teen cooked land preserved as a delicate article of food and which were never intended to come in free, and levying duty on fourteen miles of cable running out to sea and which was never landed, excepting to connect the ends, will represent some of the remarkable peculiarities of the Wilson tArlff act. IXCOMB TAX KETl'RXS.

Many Wealthy People Failed to File, Their Reports. WASHINGTON, April 29. The officials having charge of the income-tax matters for some time past have had little to do except to .contemplate the . rush of work that is expected to begin, next Wednesday. On that day collectors of customs have been instructed, to send in -all income-tax" returns that have at that time been examined and tabulated, and that on May 15 all the remaining returns be sent in.. It is probable that" the returns, which5 will begin to arrive on Wednesday, May 1, will , comprise fully three-fourths of the' whole, and from that time on for several months the income-tax bureau will be crowded with work. The returns that come in prior to the decision of the Supreme Court have nearly, all been returned to the -collectors . to be corrected in conformity with the court's decision, so that there are less than five hundred returns in the department at the present time. Lrte information from collector's Is to the effect that a large percentage of the heavier taxpayers have failed to make any returns whatever. In some instances the rea- . on for this failure is undoubtedly carelessness, as is shown by the large number , of persons who sent in their returns' after the time limit had -expired, but by far the action of the greater number is believed to have been deliberate. The percentage of this latter class is estimated as hifh as one-fourth of the whole in -some localities, and throughout the entire country a conservative estimate is 25 per cent. The officials are hopeful of a favorable' change in the opinion of the Supreme Court as a result of the rehearing, and are especially bo s to the main proposition. In .the event that the court sustains the constitutionality .cf the act as a whole, it is expected that nearly all of these who have declined to make returns will be anxious to. compromise with the government with a View to , avoid the payment of penalties. - Justice Jackson's Plans.

SURETIES BOYCOTTED

QUEER CASE GROWING OCT OP THE KILLING OF A GLASS WORKER. Alexandria Inlon Wants Policeman -Painter Punished Miners Wagre Scale Not An-reed On. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ALEXANDRIA, Ind., April 29. A peculiar boycott is now in force in this city, as a result of the killing of Arthur Schneider by patrolman Painter a week ago, while the former was resisting arrest. Painter readily gave a bond for $10,000, twenty leading business men being named as sureties. The liberation of Painter aroused the ire of the local Flint-glass Workers' Union, of which Schneider was a member, and they proceeded to institute a boycott against each surety on the bond. Forty flint workers left a restaurant to-day because its proprietor refused to cease purchasing milk from , one of the signers of the bond. Terre Haute beer Is tabooed on the ground that one of the signers is the local agent of the Terre Haute Brewing Company. The relations between the citizens in general and the flint workers have become so strained that the Evening Record to-day comes out in a column editorial and admonishes each side to grant concessions. The executive committee of the American Flint-glass Workers' Union, representing all the chimney works in the United States and Canada, met in this city yesterday, and while its sessions were secret, it is generally known that the killing of young Schneider was unanimously condemned. , . THE BITUMINOUS SCALE. Miners Vote to Stand by the Present lio-Cent Rate. . .. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind.. Ayril 29. Forty delegates, representing the bituminous miners of the State, met to-day and unanimously voted not , to accept a reduction from the sixty-cent rate. The State executive committee of the operators also met, but when the miners sent word that they were ready to meet in cpnference, the operators replied that they were not ready, but would meet with them to-morrow morning. The miners say the actloh of the block coal operators in asking their men to continue at work at the old scale of 70 cents with the understanding that if there be a reduction in other fields in competitive territory the men are to accept a reduction of 5 cents, will have an effect on the bituminous scale. There has been a recognized difference of 10 cents a ton. The block coal operators also gain the advantage of keeping their mines in operation while all elsewhere in the competitive field are shut down pending a settlement of the wage question. The block coal miners have a separate organization, and acted entirely independent of the bituminous men here today. . THE INGALLS MYSTERY.

Leygues, who is visiting, with his staff, the different villages which have suffered from inundation, is doing everything possible to succor the homeless. A scene of desolation is presented in the flooded districts. Everything is covered with a thick layer of mud and on all sides are to be seen the remains of broken furniture, the trunks of trees and the ruins of houses. The Minister, who was driving In a coach, was obliged to alight and walk intothe village of. Uxegeny, where he met a long funeral procession, composed of villagers, who were escorting the bodies of victims of the flood to the little church, while the. bell in the steeple kept up a doleful tolling. To make the scene still more gruesome, in some of the cottages candles were burning beside corpses which were soon to be taken to the ' same church and from there to the mud-covered cemetery. A steady rain adds to the horror of the situation. The detachments of troops which 'have been sent to the scene are assisting the inhabitants to clear the roads from debris and to rescue cattle and other property wherever possible. M. Leygues spoke to the soldiers at work and encouraged them in their efforts to assist the distressed people. He also expressed to the Mayor the sympathy of the government with the people in their trouble. Following the course of the Aviere river, M. Leygues proceeded to Domevres. the village which has suffered the heaviest. At this place, twenty-seven houses were destroyed and ( thirty-one persons drowned. The flood tore up the graves in the cemetery and carried, pell mell, corpses, bones and living people. Ten bodies of persons missing from Domevres are still unrecovered.

He then returned Boursey where the engineers who have ber examining the reservoir made him a report to the effect that the base of -the dyke was not touched and only the upper portions had yielded. They contend that the fissures are only such as always occur in similar structures and attribute the accident to the intense cold of the winter, which disintegrated the masonry. On returning here, the Minister of Interior handed to the Mayor funds "for the relief of the villages which he (M. Leygues) had been unable to visit and then returned to Paris.

Ellsworth, who was standing in the door with a revolver in his hand, shot at Filweber four times, each shot taking effect. Then seizing a shotgun and walking to where the body of Filweber lay, Ellsworth deliberately discharged both barrels Into the already riddled body. After shooting Filweber. Ellsworth reloaded his gun with fine -shot, steppeu up close to where the body lay, placed the stock of his gun on the ground looked into the barrel and pulled the trigger. The charge carried away the top of his nead. Ellsworth was known far and wide, his principal fault being his terrible temper. He leaves a widow and three grown-up sons. NOVEL DAMAGE SUIT.

B0UTING THE REBELS SPANIARDS NOW IUNTIXG DOWN THE CI' BAN INSURRECTIONISTS. Several Bands Broken Up and Forced to Take Refuge In the Mountains Many Killed. ' HAVANA, April 29. General Salledo, commanding the Spanish troops operating against General Maceo, the insurgent leader, has won a. great victory. He attacked. Maceo's forces at Parra Hueco. After a severe engagement, during which the Spanish "soldiers fought bravely,, the forces of the government were victorious, completely routing the Insurgents, who lost many killed and wounded. The survivors of. Maceo's command were dispersed and have sought refuge in the mountains. The insur-" gent band commanded by General Garzon has also been completely defeated, with great loss in killed, wounded and prisoners. Nearly all the survivors of this band surrendered themselves prisoners to the Spanish authorities. A detachment of government troops In Santa Cruz del Sur has dispersed the rebel band led by Montego. The insurgents left three dead behind them in their flight. The troops under the command of General Saliedo are still in close pursuit of the survivors of Maceo's band of rebels. The rebels refuse to give battle to their pursuers, and it islthought they are completely demoralized 'by the defeat Inflicted on them by General Saliedos. A detachment of the fleeing band was overtaken and surprised at Arroyo Hondo. They made a feeble attempt at resistance, but were put to flight. Nine of them were killed and many wounded. The troops lost two killed and five wounded. The military governor of Puerto Principe reports that Lieutenant Colonel Salamanca has routed, at Ciego Avila, the rebel band led by Castillo. . ' All the orders given by Captain-general Campos since he assumed command in Cuba would lead the. ordinary observer to believe that there has been great laxity in the administration of the War Department by General Calleja, the captain-general whom he superseded, and who is now on his way back to Spain. Even the sanitary service, so essential in time of war, seems to have suffered greatly from neglect. The national Interests were also apparently neglected In other directions. It is believed that Campos will discern the rebellion could have been prevented if proper precautions had been taken in time. Happily the activity of the new captain-general in the direction of a general plan of campaign against the insurgents will, it Is confidently expected, soon produce a beneficial result. -. Criminals Punished. TAMPA, Fla., April 29. Cuban advices are that a married woman and her paramour murdered her husband at Campe Chula, secreting the body In a closet. They fled to the insurgent camp, where General Maceo instructed Captain Vega to arrest the murderers and deliver them to the Spanish authorities. Four men were detailed to deliver them at Campe Chula, in the province of Manzanillo. Two Cuban soldiers, who outraged two women, were promptly court-martialed and afterward hung. Captain Castillo, of the Cuban forces, Is under arrest for having allowed his soldiers, in attacking a town, to commit some depredations. ,- Authentic advices state that immediately after the landing of Maximo Gomez the same yacht which conveyed him returned to San Domingo for Gomez's son, who had fifty veterans with him. These were landed safely on the 19th at the river Jako, south of Baracoa.- ., Crombet W'as Aasasainated. KEY WEST, Fla., April 29.

He was surrounded by Spanish troops and requested an interview with the Spanish officer In command.

FOR THE QUEEN'S ROBES. House in Maine to Which Marie Antoinette'-! Wardrobe W'as Taken. Lewiston JournaL On the upper or northern end of the island of Westport, anciently called Squam, and situated on the Sheepscot river, on the Maine coast, stood a large, square, oldfashioned house, built of heavy timbers, having one massive brick chimney in the center. It was owned and Inhabited by a seafaring man by the name of Clough, who sailed on foreign voyages. It was In the time of the French revolution, when this captain was on a voyage to France, that he was engaged by the agents of the King and Marie Antoinette to bring them secretly to America. Their wardrobe and some of their furniture was already placed on board the ship, and the King and Queen were driven quietly down to the quay where the ship's small boat was In waiting to take them off to the vessel. At the same moment secret agents of the revolution arrived Just In time to arrest their King and Queen Just as they had alighted from their carriage. Their Majesties were then removed to prison. They were soon after guillotined. . . . As soon as he found what had happened Captain Clough put to sea with all haste, having the wardrobe and the furniture of the King and Queen on board his ship. After a long voyage he arrived at Westport. Me., and stored the Queen's wardrobe and furniture In hl3 own house on Squam island. Tradition says that visitors to the house, used sometimes to see these things and pieces of the Queen's dresses are still kept by the Clough descendants, who live in EJgecomb. just opposite Westport. On account of whit I havenarrated above the house came to be, called the "Marie Antoinette House." Quite a long while after the events I have mentioned the old house was ferried across on scows to the opposite phore cf Edgecomb. and placed-high up on the bank, back frsrn the river's brink, where It now stands and 13 still inhabited. Many photographs have been taken of it by summer tourists and many have written Its history. But what I have written was told to me by the "oldest Inhabitants," who received it as I tell it, from their fathers and mothers. After the house was moved to the Edge, comb 'shore it was Inhabited by a man named Gardiner Gore, who kept a Ure store and was quite wealthy. One night an old lady of the same town, called "Old Aunt Hood," who was . given to dreaming dreams, dreamed that the bungs had all been pulled out of his molasses hogsheads and that she saw the molasses run out all over the floor, and thereupon she toll 'Jer dream and declared that "Gard" would very soon be poor, and, in fact, he died soon after a poor man. : - Notes from Mexico.

Christ, bearing the crois, and on his way to the place of crucifixion, paused for rest before the door of Aha slums, who struck him, baying tauntingly. "On! Why dost thou linger'.'" Christ replied: "I go. but thou shalt remain a wanderer till my return.") At midmost noon of night he stood Alone upon a mountain brow, And on the plain that spread below Two sleeping cities dimly viewed. .

From which there seemed benignly shed An opiate of rest to all All things save he. "Ah, all thlntrj rest." He sighed: "All. all save 1 are blest. With sleep or death! When wilt thou call, O Death?

MARRIAGE AND THE LAW. , A Call for a Statute That Will Preserve the Home Market. Chicago Herald. Legislator W. F. McCarthy, of Chicago, having recently seen one of the fairest of Chicago's daughters carried away in marriage by an Englishman, and noticing also how attractive foreign gentlemen with titles appear to be to our maiden heir-, esses, has been moved to introduce into the General Assembly, of the State the following resolutions: "Resolved, That the members of the Thirty-ninth General Assembly of the State of Illinois do hereby request the daughters of Illinois not to 'accept the hand in marriage -of any person wht ta not a citizen of the United States by right of birth or naturalization, as we are of the opinion that the daughters of Illinois should bo patriotic in their views and should disregard the title of any foreigner and marry none but a citizen of the United States.1' This, of course, should be only preliminary to , legislation upon the whole subject. The General Assembly is supreme . in all that concerns marriage and its correlative, divorce. If It may pay, as it does, . that a man shall not marry his grand-, mother, it may also say that a woman shall not marry a foreigner. The idea that beautiful and wealthy girls are to be snatched from under the very eyes of American youth too bashful to press their own claims Is revolting to every Idea of patriotism. It Is something not ' to be tolerated for a moment, and it is something that the Legislature only csn control. In regard to our marriageable maids and widows, we need not only a high protective tariff, but an absolute stone wall which will keep them as closely as were the golden apples of the Hesperldes. And while they are at it, why should not our legislators settle the marriage, question for good. Why should they not ea- ' tabllsh a commission which would see to it that every marriageable person within our . borders was united satisfactorily in wedlock? Dr. Johnson was of the opinion that if marriages were all arranged by the Lord High Chancellor they would be as happy If not happier than those brought about in the ordinary way. There are few people who have looked npon mankind philosophically who have not come to the time conclusion. Suppose there was a marriage commission, before whom all persons of marriageable age should present themselves. Each would be examined as to health, hab- t its, abilities, business, education and house- 7 hold knowledge. Does not every person . see that the commission could pair those applicants a thousand times better than they could pair themselves? , What kind of a show would a foreigner stand then to carry off our heiresses? By all means let Mr. McCarthy press his resolution and finally carry it to its legitimate conclusion a law regulating all mar-. ' rlages. . Whist Club in Its Old Quarters. The American Whist Club met, last night, in its-old quarters in the southwest turret of the Denison Hotel. The club had " moved In just a few days before the hotel fire occurred.
