NEW YORK , Fob. 11. Mr. 'Robert Fulfora ,
iusbaml of the wclljcnown American actress ,
Annlo Plxley , "tho child of the Sierras , "
who died In London on October S last under ,
It Is claimed , mysterious circumstances , was
a passenger on the American line steamship
Now York , which-arrived nt her wharf about
9 o'clock this morning. Mr. Fulford was ac
companied by his sister , Mrs. W. Fra/or ,
nnd by Annlo Jojce , the late Miss Plxlcy's
maid , who Is said to have administered cer
tain powders to her , thus "being Instiumcntal
In causing her death In order that Mr. Fill-
fonl might obtain possession of her estate ,
valued at from $200,000 to $100,000.
Upon the arrival of the steamship New
York at quarantine , Mr. Fulford was met by
a representative of the Associated press ,
who acquainted him with the hcilous charges
which have been made against him by the
Plxley family , as published during the past
week , as to the circumstances sin rounding
the death of his wife and the alleged forger
ies In connection with the transfer of deeds
nnd mortgages belonging to his wife's estate.
Mr. Fulford , who Is a short , thick-set gen
tleman , with iron-gray hair and mustache
and very tfood appearance , was considerably
surprised nnd'shocked when ho learned the
serious nature of the charges.
"I have been living In the suburbs of
London , " ho said , "and have heard nothing
of all this. I therefore do not feel like
faying very much on the subject until I
have become more fully Informed concern
ing the stories which have been circulated.
I can say novv , however , that It U all the
most absurd rubbish on earth. My wlfo
died , despite the attention of the two most
skilled physicians in England. I have been
quietly resting with my people In London'
ever since. The com so of the Plxley
family Is no doubt duo to Impatience on
their port because I have not hurried over
hero nnd turned over to them Annie's es
tate. The Idea of charging me with seeking
to get rid of my wife Is nothing short of
silly on the face of.lt. '
"What had 1 to gain ? Certainly no mer
cenary motive would have Influenced mo as
tboro was no necessity for It. All the
money was mine whether my wlfo was
alive or not. All talk of harsh treatment
was untrue. My wlfo and I lived together
Tor twenty-ono years , from the time of our
marriage at Portland , Ore. , to her death ,
happily nnd without a separation at nny
time. Her death was a serious blow to mo.
ALL IN THE HUSBAND'S NAME.
"Tho assertion on the part of the Plxley's
that all the deeds and mortgages belonging
to Miss Pixloy are In my name Is certainly
true. They nro all In my name nnd will
remain so. Who else would have them ?
It was through Iny management that Miss
Plxloy made her fortune. She left every
thing to mo to bo disposed of as I thought
best. It was never Intended that Mrs.
Plxley , her mother , should bo left unpro
vided for. I have taken care of the wliolo
family for over twenty years.
"Mrs. Pixloy has got mo Into n nice little
scrape by her Ill-advised talking , nnd It's a
poor wny to sot about obtaining what she
alleges Is duo her. Of cotirso , I shall con
tinue to look out for my mothcr-ln-lavv , but
I doubt If I will contribute anything more
for the halt brothers of my wife to sport
with on Broadway. They uro old enough nnd
big enough to , earn n living for themselves.
Certainly I am going to look. Into what they
have said against mo , and am not going to
furnish then ) with'the vveupons to tight mo
with. There really has never bean too much
friendly feeling between Annie's family and
myself.
"I received n loiter from my old friend ,
Dr. Fleming , saying that the old lady was
very Irate , or something to that effect , but I
did not Know to what bounds her anger or
impatience had led her until now. The bulk
of my wife's estate Is located In Philadel
phia , where. I shall go very soon to prcpurn
for the fighting of the legal battle which I
understand has been started for me. There
Is a Joint will between my wife and I , made
by us years ago , which I will have probated.
"I'm not guilty of murder or any crlmo
nnd have with ma In an mil the remains of
my dear wife , which I propose to place be
side the remains of our llttlo child , who Is
burled nt London , Out ,
"In regard to the story that I caused my
wife's remains to bo cremated In order thnt
no * Investigation could bo made Into the
cause ot her death , I can only say tliut film
was cremated at her own icquest , and I
can provo this by evidence of several per-
cons. As I have provlonely stated , I was not
In any way Instrumental In the death of my
wife , nnd there Is absolutely no truth In the
reports that Dr. Fleming , who Is the phy-
Mclan employed by the actor's fund of
America , nnd who has been the trusted phy-
Blclan of professional people iilnco the dajn
of Edwin Forrebt , gave my wlfo medicine
that In any way Injured her , and there Is also
no truth In the story that my wife's maid ,
Annlo Joyce , had anything to do with my
wife's death. I have brought Miss Joyce
back to this country with mo , so that It will
not be difficult to refute these cruel nnd out
rageous calumnies. "
STOHY OF THE ACTHESS' MID. .
Miss Annlo Joyce vvns next Interviewed by
the Associated press representative. Mlus
Joyce Is an attractive looking young womnn
nnd were n neat mourning suit nnd u Jaunty
crcpo bonnet. Miss Joyce Mild ; "Thero Is
absolutely no truth In the stories connect
ing mo with the death of Miss PKley. I
do not Know what lias been said nnd shall
Ignore the statements and charges madu
against "mr entirely , Thu clmige * mentioned
as these that I have been circulating nro
elmply preposterous and so far as I am con
cerned I Invite full Inquiry Into the death of
Mini Plxley , so fnr ns my attendance of her
during her Illness U concerned or other-
% v Iso , "
The alleged conspiracy on the ptrt of
llobort Fulford , Dr. Fleming und Annlo
Joyce has aroused considerable excitement
among the friends of both parties. The
friends of Mr , Fulford nro indignant and
refer to the charges with contempt and ns-
icrt thnt U only requires Mr , Fulford'a
presence here to entirely dUslpale thorn.
On the part of the family , their attorney ,
Colonel H. J. Hnlre , Is vigorously Inveatl-
KHtlug the cabo with n vloxr tu securing the
rights of his clients to a nhnroof the estate
of tli ftctresi more than attumpttut ; to provo
thnt Mlsn Plxlry's death was duo to her hus
band's dcrtrc to make nwny with her.
Colonel Hnlro nnnouncen he hns positive
evidence to provo thnt Miss Plxley left n
will providing for her family , nnd witnesses
who will testify ns to the harsh treatment
of his wlfo by Mr , Fulford. Forgeries In
the transfer of deeds nre broadly hinted nf.
The case , which will como up In Philadel
phia , promlics to be a sensational one. The
estate of Mlsi Plxley Is variously estimated
nt from $200,000 to $100.000 Among other
things It Included n $65,000 mortgage on the
Park theater In Philadelphia.
STOHY OF MISS PIXLEY'S BHOTIIEH.
In connection with the charges emanating
from the Plxley family , Mr. Star L. Pixloy ,
brother ot the late actress , said to an Asso
ciated press representative on behalf of the
family. "We nil believe the mnnner In
which my sister came HU suddenly to her
death Is , to say the least , peculiar. Whllo
wo have no proof upon which to base a
prosecution of Hobort Fulford , her husband ,
for causing the death of my sister , the pub-
1 shel stories and Int-rvlevvs w th my mother
and ulster represent our opinions on the
Milbjcct.
"Tho only object of the legal proceedings
we arc preparing to take Is to obtain what
wo believe to be our right to n proper share
of Annie's estate to cause Mr. Fulford to
muko n proper accounting to us of his dis
position of the will , deeds nnd papers of my
sister , In which wo can provo.we nro In
terested. My sister trusted Implicitly In
her husband ; he vvns always In full control
of her property , nnd deposited In banks nil
her money In his name ; so Annie had to go
to her husband for every dollar hhe wanted
to upend. Annie's brnln was In no way af
fected. Last September when she was 111 ,
her husband called In Dr. Waller Fleming
to attend her. Dr. Fleming nnd Mr Ful
ford were Intimate friends Annie did not
Ilka him , nnd begged to bo permitted to
have nnother physician. Wo don't exactly
know what the powders were which werja
prescribed for her , nnd which were so per
sistently and regularly administered by
Miss Joyce. Wo wish wo hnd kept ono of
these for nnalysls. As It stands , however ,
we can only give It as our opinion that
Annie's death was very mysterious , and her
cremation only adds to the strength of this
\ iew.
"It Is true Mr. Fulford has complete pos-
seislon of the entire estate of his wife. Wo
do not think It possible thnt Annie ever
Intended to leave her mother or any of us
out her will. In fact. Is well known to immjr
that she proclaimed her Intention of pro
viding handsomely for her mother. ' Only
n Bhort time previous to her departure for
England. Annlo showed Alice , her sister , a
typewritten document with a blue cover ,
which vvirtundoubtedly her will She ono
day showed Alice this paper and called her
attention to a clause leading'To Allco
$2,500 , a diamond pin and a ring. '
"There Is no doubt In our minds that the
remainder of the document contained other
clauses providing for our mother and all of
us n ohnre In her estate. "
Mr. Pixley expressed the conviction that
Mr. Kill ford would not again visit America
and thnt the family did not expect to bee
anything more ofilm. \ .
PHEFEHHED MORE DISCHETION.
Colonel H. J. Halre , counsel for the Plxley
family , said to a representative of the Asso
ciated press : " 1 would hn\e preferred
having the Plxleys use more discretion In
their statements. They believe , of course ,
that the charges made ugalnst Hobert Ful-
foid are tine and there are many circum
stances connected with the departure for
England of Miss Plxley , her treatment for
her Illness nnd the flnal disposition of her
remains which lend color to the opinions
that have been published. It Is , however ,
a very serious matter to charge a man with
a felony unless there Is good legal proof to
substantiate his guilt. There Is no such
proof In the present case and no such
charges will bo made.
"I know nothing about the matter beyond
what hns been told mo by the Plxley fnmlly.
My duty Is simply to ln\obligate the ques
tion of what right Fultonl has to transfer
the entire estate of his wlfo to himself ,
thereby entirely Ignoring the claims of her
family , and his failure to advlso them
concerning his disposition of her estate and
their Interest In It. All tlio friends of
Mrs. Fulford Knew very well Uiat her hus
band was to provide ngnlnst want upon the
part of her mother nnd sisters , and the
fortune she accumulated amply Justified even
an extravagant estimate ot what she must
have provided for them In her w.111.
"I have engaged associate counsel In Lon
don and In Philadelphia to nsslst mo In
preparing the case nnd when It comes up
Philadelphia will be the Hghtlng ground ,
as It Is there Mls > s Plxley's largest Interests
He. Mr. Fulford has , I understand , re
tained Messrs. Morgan & Lewis of 411
Chestnut street , Philadelphia , as his coun
sel. They are nblo men. I shall , when
ready to begin proceedings , endeavor to
get service of the papers on Mr. Fulford
In London , or by proxy In Philadelphia.
"I have a lecord of money , icil estate
and Jevvcliy left by Miss Pixley to the value
of between $200,000 and $400,000. The
actress was very generous , kindly and am
bitious Her trust In her husband was very-
gnat , and ho controlled her affairs. Ap
peal ances Indicated some sort of understand
ing between the maid Joyce and Fulford.
Joyce was engaged by the Plxleys at Phila
delphia seven yeais ago. "
Dr. Walter M. Fleming , who attended the
late Annlo Pixloy during her Illness previous
to her departure for England , speaking of
the published charges made by the family
of Miss Plxley that povvdeis ho prescribed
for her vvcro opiates of a powerful character
and assisted In her untimely end , made the
following statement to a repicsentative of
the Associated press-
DH. FLEMING'S DENIAL.
"I have been Intimately acquainted with
Miss" Plxley and her husband for many
years. I attended her during her Illness
Just beforn she left for England , In company
with Mr. Fulford. 'Sho was huffurlng from
overwork , nervous prostration , nnd the loss
of her child cnustd her to wear herself out.
"Tho Insinuations ns to the character of my
treatment ot Miss Plxley are absurd and
unjust to the last degree As to what
course I will pursue with reference to these
charges , I prefer to say nothing further
than thnt the last has not been heard of
them.
"Tho general Indignation of the friends
of Mr. Fulford Is nothing short of Intense.
I never Knew any thai go ot misconduct to
bo taken up and so Indignantly condemned
as the charges made against Bob Fttlford
have been by his host ot friends.
"Tho powders which I prescribed for Miss
Plxley vvero simply bismuth and soda , to
settle the lady's stomach. My mall Is very-
largo slnco these charges vvero mndo , and I
am dally flooded with messages nnd lettera
from my own friends and friends of Mr.
Fulfoid , condemning the Infamous Insinua
tions which have teen innile. "

WASHINGTON' DUHEAU OP THE BEE.
613 Fourteenth Street ,
WASHINGTON , Feb. It.
Strenuous efforts are being made by Pres
ident Clr\eland to have the senate llnancc
committee strike out the Income tax feature
of the Wilson tariff bill. It nag proposed
by the administration that Income taxes
should be separated from the customs
measure and reported to the scnata as a
separate bill , but It was soon found that
that could not be done. Such action would
bo equivalent to originating a revenue
measure In the senate ; . All revenue bills
must originate In the house. Democratic
members of the house ways and meant ;
committed vvcro then sounded. They wore
asked If they would report the Incoinu tax
scheme as a separate measure It It was
stricken out of the tariff bill by the nuance
committee They replied that they would
not ; that the Incoino tax must remain a part
of the Wilson bill or fall. That It wan
simply a scheme to rescue Presi
dent Cleveland from embarrassment.
They natd the president would veto an In
come tax measure ptiro and simple , but hu
could not veto u tariff bill providing Incoino
taxes. So It la but a question of striking
Income taxes from the bill and Killing the
scheme , or keeping them in the bill as now.
If a duty Is placed on sugar , coal and Iron
ore , as seems altogether probable , the in
come taxes will not bo necessary for revenue.
II looks as though the dilemma would be
come very embarrassing to the president
and his party in congress.
SUGAR TRUST SCOHCS A POINT.
It Is reported tonight that the Sugar trust
has won its point In spite of Chairman Voor-
hees' threat that a discriminating duty In
favor of refined sugar will be levied by the
senate bill. Two of the three members of
the subcommittee preparing the senate bill
are In favor of preserving the interest of the
trust. As Chairman Voorhees wants to in
crease the tax on and extend the bonded
period for whisky , It would not become him
to insist overly much upon throttling the
other trust. If the Whisky trust Is to bo
conserved , why not help nnd protect the
Sugar trust ? The agents of the Sugar trust
have been hero a week. It is no wonder that
sentiment should change In their wake. It
Is said that over 60,000 shares of Sugar trust
stock were bought In New York on Friday
alone for men hero who were privately told
that the trust had fixed things In the senate.
CLEANIN6 OUT TUG CLERKS.
A reign of terror is beginning to spread
through the Interior department. Secretary
Carlisle has either weeded out or marked
for decapitation every republican official In
the Treasury department , and has openly
boasted of It , and now Secretary Hoke Smith
Intends to follow up the work of the Ken
tucky secretary and fire out of the Interior
department and all Its branch bureaus every
lepubllcan who can be reached , both In and
out of the classified list of the civil service
law. Hoke Smith Is having made up "rec
ords of efficiency of employes for promotion
throughout the Interior department. " While
these records arc ostensibly for promotion
purposes , they are really "lists" for the
manipulator of the guillotine. About two
dozen republicans In the pens'on offlce.wlthln
the classified service and supposedly under
civil service protection , have been dropped
from the rolls. Hoke Smith Is going Into
the geological and other scientific bureaus ,
and dismissing republicans right and left
men possessing technical knowledge and fill
ing positions which cannot be efficiently oc
cupied by Inexperienced men ; yet he Is nil-
Ing the -vacancies with Inexperience and In
efficiency. By the end of this year theie
will bo scarcely a republican loft in the de
partments here. The Civil Service commis
sion has no voice In these dismissals , and
Is seldom consulted now when positions are
to be filled.
UNEMPLOYED AT THE CAPITAL.
Congressmen from every section of the
country now in Washington are having a
lively foretaste of the work which commit
tees In the various cities are doing in the
direction of helping the needy. The national
capital Is overrun with professional tramps
and men who have been honorably stranded
here. The corridors of the capital fairly
swarm with them at times. They send Infer
for the congressmen representing their homo
dlstiicts and Implore them for financial as
sistance. . Several eastern representatives
have actually been driven out of the city by
helpless constituents. Strangers In going
about the city day or night are accosted In
every block for alms by these men.
Washington Is trying to do her shaio In
helping those wh o ara destitute , The desti
tution here , however , Is largely different
from that prevailing In Industrial centers of
the country. There are few shops hero , and
no more men and women are out of work
from the regular roll of residents than ordi
narily. The great Influx of unemplojed
comes from every section. AVhy this should
bo their Mecca no one knows ; but hero they
come , and they are making It a serious mat
ter to men In public life. A peculiar feature
of the distress prevailing in Washlnrton Is
that It Is with white persons almost exclu
sively. There nro about 90,000 coloied per
sons In Washington twice as many blacks
as whites who work at common labor and
> ot officers of the chirltablo associations say
that there are ten whlto families and ten
white persons who apply for assistance to one
black. The explanation of this Is that the
blacks are moio economical and willing to
work at anything when penniless , while the
whites are fastidious , and are unwilling to
work unless they got a certain kind of em
ployment and fixed wages. There are no
black beggais around the capital. Hut the
army of white tramps and helpless Individu
als Is growing BO laiga In the national cap
ital as to make the situation serious. If
they can only Impress themselves upon leg
islation their presence hero will not have
been In vain.
PROFESSIONAL LOBBYISTS.
"There goes a man who lives off his al
leged Influence with two or thrco members
of congress , " said a senator to The Bee cor
respondent. Ho continued : "Do you
know that there are In Washington fifty or
100 man who do nothing but draw salaries
anil receive tips from persons having Inter
ests bcforo congress , and who have nothing
to give In return except their Influonca with
senators and representatives ? Well , It Is
true , I am sorry to say , I know of threj
men , jacklcg lawyers , who do nothing but
run around the corridors of the capital and
advertise their Influence with a certain
democratic senator. They are nil receiving
salaries for their Influence with this senator.

many public men unconsciously lend themselves -
selves to this disreputable business of sell

In responsible positions are frequently

The speeches on the Stewart resolution will
be made during the morning hour and the
Hawaiian speeches later In the day. Sen
ators Gray nnd Daniel have given notice of
speeches on the Hawaiian resolution for
Monday , and Senator White of California Is
among others who probably will address the

CHICAGO , Feb. 11. ( Special Telegram to
The Bee. ) The beginning of the end In the
hotly contested press association flght Is at
hand , and as It was promised some months
ago , the old reliable Associated press Is the
victor. Commencing tomorrow two of the
strongest papers * liu tUo"iUnIted'-pres8 wlll
drop the report of that organization and
begin receiving the service of the Associated
press. These are the Chicago Herald and
Chicago Tribune. There nre still two other
stray sheep that have como Into the fold
the Chicago Post and the Chicago Staats-
Zoltung who will also receive the Asso
ciated press service , beginning tomorrow.
The Tribune nnd Staats-55eltung- for
merly members of the Western Associated
press , but when , last August , this organiza
tion broadened Its scope and changed Ita
name to the Associated press , they cast their
lot with the United press. That they soon
realized thcli mistake , however , Is evident ,
even though they put on a bold front and
proclaimed with much emphsals that the
United press vvns soon to engulf Its rival.
Before the battle liad been waged long they
were glad of an opportunity to return to
their first love. The Tribune signed an As
sociated press contract on last Wednesday ,
but the fact was not /generally / known
until today. The Herald and Post signed
yesterday.
The change of front on the part of the
Herald and Post was to many the greatest
surprise of the day. For many years these
two papers have been the backbone of the
United press , John R. Walsh , the principal
stockholder In both , being president of that
association , and their surrender to the Asso
ciated press Is one of the greatest victories
ever won In a press war. The other Chicago
cage papers , who have all along been mem
bers of the Associated press and helped to
maintain the light , nro quietly rejoicing over
the Increase In their "family , " and none of
them will publish tomorrow more than n
bare announcement of the change.

dropped 8d below this prlco and the loss
therefore will amount to 1,200,000. The
question nrlscs , who has to bear It ? Both
the met chants and the eastern banks appear
to have protected themselves In advnnce.
The totnl loss will bo largo but widely
spread. Nothing could better show the evil
effects of hlo vasclllatlng policy on the part
of thot.0 who undertook to stfady exchange.
It Is to bo eirnestly hoped that the
drastic measures taken In India for the pur

bo Used to screw exchange to nn unsafe
