Old Hutch Found'at Last.
CHICAGO , 111. , May 2. There is no
doubt that B. P. Uutchinson is in
Evansville , Ind. The family received
advices to that effect , Advices were
received on the board of trade from
Evansville to the effect that the police
of that city had in custody a man who
is believed to be B. P. Hutchinson ,
the missing1 board of trade veteran.
No particulars are yet at hand.
Later Air. Hutchinson was found
in Evansville vesterday morning1 at
the Peoria house , a second , class hotel
near the Louisville & Nashville depot.
When he arrived in Evansville on
Wednesday morning he was advised to
look at the manufacturing establish
ments in the lower part of the city
and lie would then be nearer to the
depot and convenient to have the noon
train from the south. After looking
about he became so fatigued that he
went to the lirst boarding house he
could find intending to resume his
journey when he became sufficiently
rested. Mr. Hutchinson was easily
persuaded by Superintendent of Police
Newell to go to police headquarters in
a patrol wagon.
Mr. Hutchinson says that the reason
ho left Chicago was because his son
was taking steps to have him taken to
an insane asylum. He does not think
he is insane , but the people in Evans
ville who have known him in Chicago ,
are satisfied that his mind is not all
right He says that in the last two
months he has lost over $3,000,000 and
oiames nis son lor nis losses. 11 ne
had been let alone he says he would
have come out all right. He also says
that his affairs , if properly manipu
lated , would bring him a. profit of
$500,000. He seems to have sufficient
money with him for all his wants.
The chief of-police telegraphed to
his son , Charles L. Hutchinson , presi
dent of the Corn Exchange bank in
Chicago , asking what to do with his
father , and received a reply to release
him , but to keep an eye on him anc
report his movements to Pinkerton ,
who had the case in charge. Mr.
Hutchinson readily consented to a tel
egram being sent to his son stating
that he was willing to return to Chi
cago. Superintendent Ne wall will take
Mr. Hutchinson to the labor picnic
this afternoon and this evening send
him back to Chicago if advised to
do so.
Honolulu's Hot Headed Queen.
SAN FUANCISCO , Cal. , May 2 The
Examiner's Honolulu special quotes
Queen Liliuokalani as stating that in
the event of the rejection of the pro
posed new treaty between Hawaii and
the United States , commerce between
the two countries would greatly di
minish and eventually pass out'oi
American control. The greater part
of our provisions , machinery , lumber-
hardware and numerous other com
modities , said the queen , will be ren
dered less profitable by the action of
the American people and will practic
ally ruin permanent investments now
.owned here by many hundreds of
American citizens. These investments
are very large and valuable , certainly
exceeding $15,000,000 , and are largely
increasing every year. Queen Lili
uokalani intimated that Minister Car
ter would resign his post at Washing
ton owing to the fact that his sympa
thy was with the Americans and not
with the islands.
The Claim a Myth.
NEW YORK , May 2. The story from
Independence , la. , that some residents
of that town are about to claim $200-
000,000 worth of property on Broad
way in this city , known as the estate
of Robert Edwards , deceased , is a
myth. The Edwards estate story has
aeen one of the nuisances of the reg
ister's office for the last twenty years.
During that time "heirs" by the score
lave come out of the west to ransack
; he ancient records in a vain search
'or a trace of the estate. One enthus
iastic believer in its existence spent
three years rummaging in the register's
office before he gave up in disgust.
The only document in the office bear
ing on the estate is the record of an
instrument executed in Logan county.
Ohio. July 29 , 1S76 , whereby Justus
J. Edwards , Catherine Dennis , Aman
da Edwards and Catherine Percy , all
of Logan county , disposed of their
right * title and interest in that $200. -
000,000 to Henry W. Ingersoll and
Captain Henry Edwards for the paltry
sum of $1,000.

WASHINGTON , May 2. Upon repre
sentations from the French minister
that the postal authorities at New York
are unwarrantedly detaining French
newspapers sent to the United States
on the ground that they contained lot
tery advertisements. Secretary Blaine
has secured an order from the post
master general admitting all foreign
newspapers that contain advertise
ments of premiums on government and
municipal bonds.
The Oldest Politician Dead.
BALTIMORE , Md. , May 2. A special
from Frederick , Md. , to the American
says : Judge P. Amos Cunningham ,
who has been a very prominent figure
in this state's politics for seventy
years , died today aged 93. In 186-1
ho was a member of the constitutional
convention which ratified the emanci
pation proclamation of President Lin
coln.
A Wonderful Well.
PiTTSBonc , Pa. , May 2. At 3
o'clock yesterday morning the drillers
on a wild cat gas well on the Beal
farm , near Leechburg , Armstrong
county , had reached a depth of 300
feet , the tools were drawn for the pur
pose of changing bits when , without
previous indication of any kirid , an
immense volume of oil gushed from
the casing head high into the air.
The alarmed drillers quickly extin
guished their fires and stood gazing in
astonishment at the unprecedented
phenomenon. There were no prepar
ations of any kind for saving the oil
and it is going to waste. The well
flowed over 100 barrels , and it is in
aa entirely new district and several
miles from any producing territory.
The heavy production at the depth of
300 feet is a new wrinkle in oil pro
duction.
The Presidential Part- .
SAN FRANCISCO , Cal. , May 4. Pres
ident Harrison and party on their re
turn here from Santa Cruz were ten
dered a reception at the chamber of
commerce. The chamber of commerce
was beautifully decorated. A dense
crowd surrounded the president's car
riage and cheered him as he entered
the building. The members of the
various commercial organizations of
the city , Mexican veterans , California
pioneers and other associations greeted
him. President Taylor of the chamber
of commerce delivered an address of
welcome.
The president in his response said
in part that he had been subjected dur
ing his stay in California in some re
spects to the same treatment police
men accord a tramp he had been kept
"moving on. " "Their cordial greet
ings , " he said , "are more exhiltrating
than their wine and perhaps safer for
the constitution. [ Laughter. ] I am
glad , " added the president , "to stand
in the presence of this assemblage of
business men. I have tried to make
this a business administration. [ Ap
plause. ] Of course we cannot fully
separate politics from a national ad
ministration , but I have felt that every
public officer owed his best service to
the people without distinction to par
ty ; that in administering official trusts
we were in a very strict sense , not
merely in a figurative sense , your
servant. It has been my desire that
in every branch of the public service
there should be an improvement.
I have stimulated all the secre
taries and received a stimulus from
them in an endeavor in all the depart
ments of the government to give you
as perfect service as possible. [ Great
applause. ] This we owe to you , but
if I were pursuing party ends I should
feel that I was by such methods estab
lishing my party in the confidence of
the people. I feel that we have come
to a point where American industries ,
American commerce and American in
fluence are to be revived and extended.
[ Applause. ] American sentiment and
feeling was never more controlling
than now , and I do not use that term
in the narrow sense of a native Amer
ican , but to embrace all loyal citizens ,
native born or adopted , who have a
love of our flag in their hearts. [ Great
cheering. ] I believe there are meth
ods by which we shall put the Ameri
can flag upon the seas again. [ Ap
plause. ] In the question of shipping , "
added the president , lwe are in a sim
ilar condition to the merchant who
when the practice of sending travel
ing men on the road was first inaugu
rated declined to take up with such an
innovation , but soon found he had to
do it or go out of business. The great
commercial governments of the world
have stimulated their shipping inter
ests by direct or indirect subsidies ,
while we have been saying ino we pre
fer the old way. ' " .
Off Comes the Tax.
WASHINGTON , May 4. Under the
provisions of the McKinley tariff act ,
beginning May 1 , all special taxes im
posed upon dealers in leaf tobacco ,
dealers in manufactured tobacco , man
ufacturers of tobacco and cigars and
peddlers are repealed. The law , how
ever , requires that these various
classes of dealers shall register their
mjmes. places of business , etc. , with
the local collector of internal revenue ,
with the exception of dealers in man
ufactured tobacco. The number of
dealers of the latter class , according
to the report of the commissioner of
'
internal re'venue for 1890 was 603.088 ,
who paid a tax of § 2.40 each. It is
said at the department that the aboli
tion of this special tax of $2.40 will
cause a loss to the government of
§ 1,600,000 annually.
The Indian JUessIah.
CHAMBERLAIN , S. D. , May 4. Ar
thur C. Hopkins , the self-styled In
dian "messiah , " arrived in the city
; ast evening and left today for Crow
Creek agency , where he will , if per
mitted , have a conference with the
Sioux and instill into them some of
the new messiah's teachings. He says
lis mission is one of peace and that
ae wishes to inform the Indians that
there is a bright future for them if
they will but follow his advice and do
what the government wishes them to
do. Hopkins has just returned from
Xosebud and Pine Ridge agencies ,
where the Indian agents had him es
corted off the reservations , and it is
jrobable that he will meet with the
same fate at Crow Creek.
Government Leader Smith in the
louse of commons named the Irish

Influx of Forclcn Pauper * .
WASHINGTON , May 2. Decided steps
are being taken by Secretary Foster to
stop the influx of foreign paupers and
criminals despite several defects of the
new immigration law which were re
garded as making it practically inoper
ative. The author , Mr. Owen of In
diana , inserted a provision that there
should be a superintendent of immigra
tion at a salary of $5,000 , which was
reduced by the house to $4,000 , but ,
while thus fixing what the salary of
this officer should bo the act failed to
specially appropriate the § 4,000 nec
essary to meet the demand. Attorney
General Miller has therefore ruled that
the office of superintendent of immi
gration cannot be filled , as there is no
way of paying his salary and an ap
propriation cannot be anticipated. It
appeared to put an end to enforcing
the law , for the entire theory of it was
that the superintendent was the special
o.licer to execute the law. The error
was considered specially serious , as the
next house of representatives , being
democratic , would not be likely to
remedy the mistake so that a re
publican administration could appoint
a reuublican. Under these circum
stances it has been fearea by the treas
ury department that there could be no
means of damming up the tide of pau
per and criminal immigration which
is flowing into this country. But Sec
retary Foster has concluded to take
the oflice of superintendent of immi
gration upon his own shoulders by
having the terms of the law executed
without the intervention of this special
officer and his immigration inspectors.
Yesterday the secretary made his first
ruling under the law and it sets the
precedeut'which will be followed in a
general policy of seclusion. The
Nordeutscher Loyd steamship com
pany recently landed Josef Piaseki in
New York. He was a cripple and so
deformed that it was evident he could
not earn a living. He had no money
and no friends. Secretary Foster
thought this would be a good case to
begin on and he therefore ruled that
the penniless cripple would have to be
returned to Germany at the expense of
the steamship company unless the com
pany furnished a § 20,000 bond'that
Piaseki would never become a public
charge. This was practically an abso
lute decision of exclusion , for the com
pany of course will not give such a
heavy bond in the case of a pauper
cripple.
Assistant Secretary Spalding , who
has special charge of these immigra
tion subjects , said today that the de
partment would presume that crippled
or deformed immigrants would be un
able to earn their own living and
would eventually become public
charges. The bonds exacted from the
steamship company would be so high
that they would refuse to become sure
ties for this pauper class and would
decline to bring them here when they
know this country would not receive
them without the bond.
Assistant Secretary Nettleton has
gone to New York to make further ar
rangements to carry out Secretary
Foster's plan of stopping the immigra
tion. Although the law is inoperative
so far as creating a superintendent of
immigration is concerned , it has many
stringent features which the secretary
will now execute. One of these pro
vides that no steamship or transporta
tion company shall directly or through
agents , either by writing , printing
or oral representations solicit
or encourage the immigration
of any alien into the United States ex
cept by the ordinary steamship ad
vertisements and circulars stating the
sailing dates of their vessels and the
terms and facilities of transportation.
Immigrants who are excluded by the
terms of the law can be sent back at
the expense of the steamship bringing
them , and the officers of the steam
ship are deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
meaner if they decline to take back
the excluded immigrants. Secretary
Foster's ruling in the Piaseki case puts
in operation all the features of the new
law except that of the appointment of
superintendent.
President Fill mo re's Estate Division.
BUFFALO , N. Y. . May 2. When ex-
President Millard Fillmore died he left
a fortune valued at § 300,000. This
passed into the hands of his son , Millard - j
lard Powers Fillmore , and at his death |
in November , 18S9 , a number of rela
tives were left to divide the fortune.
This division will be made here in the
surrogate's court. A number of the
western heirs are in town , including
George M. Fillmore of Washington
and Almo Millard and B. F. Fiilmore
of Indiana , nephews of the late presi
dent.
Approach In jr a Cr" * ! * .
WASHINGTON , May 2. It is believed
by those intimately acquainted with
the affairs of the interior department
that the strained relations existing
between Secretary Noble and Pension
Commissioner Raum are about to
reach a crisis by the retirement of one
or the other of them. There have been
various rumors of late as to the fric
tion between the secretary and his
pension commissioner , but they have
usually been met with denials. Minor
events are constantly happening at the
department however , which show that
it is impossible to further conceal the
fact that there Is a serious br.cacb between -
tween the two officials and that it has
reached a stage of personal feeling
which the- two men cannot disguise tO'
those 'imcdiately about them in the
interior department.
The bureau officials and clerks are
expecting daily that the internal wai
which is waging will result in a pub'
lie outbreak or else in resignation.
Yesterday ono of the officials of the
pension bureau , who was anxious to
secure a promotion , remarked that ho
was about to urge his application be
fore Secretary Noble , instead of Com
missioner Raum , because ho knew that
Mr. Noble would take a special satis
faction in making the promotion and
thus snub the commissioner during the-
latler's absence. It indicates the way
the pension oflice officials regard the-
relations existing between their offi
cers.
cers.There will bo little surprise hero
when the crisis comes , for Secretary
Noble has had bad luck with nearly
every important commissioner which
ho has had under him. First he split
with Pension Commissioner Tanner ,
and the latter retired under fire. Then
Land Commissioner Groff stepped
down and out. There were mutual
public expressions of good will at the
time of Judge Groff's resignation ,
although it was well known in oflicial
circles that the relations between
Judge Grolt and the secretary had not
been harmonious at all limes. Thou
came the division between the secre
tary and Indian Commissioner Morgan ,
which resulted in a temporary truce of
a very shaky nature. Now comes the
trouble with Commissioner I'aum.
which can only result , according ti >
those best informed , in the forced re
tirement at a very early day of tha
Illinois man. . . .
Venezuela. AVaiitK CJrafn.
New YOKK , May 1. American
wheat and grain dealers may be inter
ested to learn that cereals can be im
ported into Venezuela free of duty.
This information is officially published
in Las Novedades of New York , at
the request of the consul general of
Venezuela , who thus follows the in
structions of the minister of exterior
relations to that country. On account ,
of some deficiency in the native crops ,
the president of Venezuela issued on
March 20 an executive decree provid
ing for free entrance through the cus
tom houses of the republic of all
cereals imported from abroad. That
measure was to go into effect on April
20 , and notice will be given thirty
days in advance of the date on which
it may be repealed and duties placed
again on grain imported into Vene
zuela.
JIloudMhed In Itome.
ROME , May 4. A number of work
men held a meeting yesterday in the
rear of the church of St. John of Lat-
eran. Five members of the chamber
of deputies were present. One of the
speakers , an anarchist , urged an at
tack on the police. Soon after a mob.
some in the street and some from windows
dews , began to stone the troops that
were passing. The police fired on the
rioters , and the troops followed tip the
volley by a charge that scattered those
in the street. A force of infantry pro
ceeded to storm the house from which
stones had been thrown. A great up
roar and struggle followed , the social
ists offering violent resistance. In the
melee , Deputy Barzillai. a socialist. Cip
riani and twenty-five others of the mob
were wounded and one killed. One
policeman was stabbed and sailed.
Several of the troopers in the street
