April 14, Many states that expected to reali.e the entire amount of their contributions to llu di-rect tax are to be disappointed. A scrutiny of the refunding net by the first comptroller has satisfied him that the United States government may claim offsets against all the states wherein the tax was not collected from individ-uals directly by the govmnnieiit.

Murray, the man of multifer-iot- n names who has been playing hide-an'-see- k with the police, since his es-capade at lions' lumber yard was in-tercepted by a committee from police headquarters, consisting of Marshal Voting and Captain Parker lasl night and dually induced to forego his trip to Kansas City until he had accepted the hospitalities of the turnkey duwuat the city jail. The capture of this slippery and elu-sive genius is one that rellects much credit on the depart!. lent anil was a "ninaterly' stroke for the detectives and "blue coats." Having followed Han-nah Moore, the the black-eye- d sorcer-ess, to Ogdeu word was dispatched to Marshal Metcalfe to keep his eye open fur her fugitive confederate.

The lone baud act w as an old one, however, and w hen the Rio Grande passenger ar-rived the officers boarded it. There sat Hannah, smiling hut none the less superbly derisive. Shu swore with the emphasis of a shrew that Murray had abandoned her and the officers might hae been baffled but for the congratu-latory glance that sped like an arrow at a passenger across the aisle. A new hair cut, the bobbing of his mustache aud the change of apparel failed to disguise him and botu were dragged fortli and taken to headquarters where he was slated as John Adler while tho tickets on which he was traveling bore the name of George W. Alger. Charles alder was suminonded as was also the "chambei maid" at the livery stable from wnom be bad obtained the out lit. linth ideiititied him, and this morning Officer Daniels who had the altercation with him at the time of his llight, pro-nounced him the right man. Hannah's hopes w ere shattered. The game was up, and asking that she might interview Murray, she bundled up her trappings i.nd boarded a street car for the depot. Murray languishes in tho locker. Police Ticking.. Albert F. Reichie alias O. A. Rippey, the enterprising genius who has been fleecing the unwary as a spurious cor-respondent of Harper's Weekly and of the Union Pacific railroad company's Time Table folder, was taken before Judge Laney this morning and entered n plea of not gu.lty, whereupon his trial was set for this afternoon. , John Jordan alias Shorty Mitchell,' l.o fcwrved a term of live years in the penitentiary, was arrested last uight in company with Walter Poreher for steal-incitiv- n hpirs of heer and this niornintr pleaded not guilty.

The first western states commercial congress convened at noon today with delegates present from the following atates and territories: California, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyom-ing, Montana, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illi-nois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky.

Nothing, in my judg-ment, would so much retard its restor-ation as legislation adopted by us that would result in placing this country upon a basis of silver . The legislation adopted by the tirst ses-sion of the Fifty-firs- t congress I was assured by the leading advo-cates of free coinage, representatives of the silver atates, would promptly and permanently bring silver to 1."."J an ounce, and keep it there. That an-ticipation has not been realized. Our larger use for silver and for reason not agreed upon, diminished the de-mand for silver in China and India. In view of this fact it is impossible in this letter to elaborate aud that propositions only can be stated .

A" letter was also read from J. M. Rusk, secretary of ngriculrure. He suggested that prominence be given to the discussion of those questions affect-ing the agricultural interests of the country, lor the reason that a pros-perous agricultural condition will give general prosperity to all the other branches of industry. He suggested that the subjects of "Trans-portation," "Maiketii" and "Federal anil State Statistics," as political ques-tions affecting the farmers. Senator Kelley was chosen Itiou. chairman. In a long speech of ..acceptance, he explained the object of , thu congress to be tho consideration of various questions of peculiar interest to tjt'e west aud south. ' Kelly laid all the blame of the acri-- v cultural depression on too small' a circulation mediums. As a relief he suggested the reeoitiago of silver and the raising of silver money to the stand-T'- . ard of gold. John. W. Springer, of Illinois was elected temporary secretary. The cliaiiman then presented Gov- - j ernor Francis, w ho w elcomed the dele- - ' fates I'll behalf of Missouri. He said ,,f the congress marked a new era in tho agricultural, commercial and financial history. In the early history of the country such dissension and dissatis-- ; , factum as now exists resulted in' the revolution. The people of tho v est were now crying lor relief but thu manner of relief was sought not by jinus but by this deliberative congress.

'J he extraor-dinary developments oi production in. agriculture, which have taken place in the recent period of Ibis country, by 1 i reason of the rapid enlargement of the area of tillage, under the favoring land laws of the United States, has very naturally called attention to the value, and, indeed the necessity for larger markets. I am one of those who believe home market necessarily the best for producers, as it emanci- - I pa'es him, in proportion to its near- " 1 j ness, from the exactions of transporta-- I tion companies.

" I think so toi, but 1 venture to remind , them that the plea they make involves i' the concession that, things may be too cheap.

One of these was that the state department has not received any intimation from tho Ital-ian government that their note must be answered before a given date. Nor is such an intimation expected.

Hundreds of homes were built in this city during last year, and hundreds more are in course of construction at the present time; but there is still an unsatisfied demand for hund-reds more for rental. The offices of the real estate men are haunt-ed and dealers are pestered to death by people who want to rent a modest and modern house at prices ranging, from $20 to 'i0 a month. There is not half enough of such houses here and the demand for them can hardly be glutted. What is true of the demand for small houses, is equally true of terraces, apartment houses, iu fact anything that refined people can live in. which they cannot do in an old musty smelling adobe of the vintage of '49 and '50.
