The sessions of the Mazet committee yesterday were noticeably chiefly for two points, one the turning at bay of Mr. Moss and the other evidence regarding the exist ence In this city of the most frightful form of depravity. Mr. Moss opened the session witn an outburst of indignation against the way in which witnesses had treated him. He demanded the protection of the committee and announced his In tention of bringing Police Capt. Price before the committee to make him prove the charges he had made against Mr. Moss. ' During this heated ap peal from the committee's counsel Dr. O'Sullivan, who appears for the city departments, frequently interrupted, and in intense anger Mr. Moss de manded that O'Sullivan be denied the privilege of participating In the pro ceedings.

"Do you mean to say," said Mr. Moss, "that Mr. Morgan swore thnt he was not taxable and then -volunteered to pny on $400,000?" "That is what I mean to say," said Mr. Feitner. In the case of George Gould the rec ord showed thnt he was not assessed. Mr. Moss asked if any effort had been made to place him on the roll, and Mr. Feitner said that not ns far as he knew.

The Clark Child and Her Kidnapers are Discovered Near a New York Village. Gnrnerville, N. Y' June 2. Marion Clark, the 21-months-old infant kid naped from her parents' home In New Y'ork on May 21, was discovered two miles south of .Sloatsburg, a villnge about eight miles from here, Thursday afternoon. She was found nt the farm house of Charles Y'oumans and was In the custody of Mrs. Jennie Wilson, who took the baby to that place during the 'enrlv part of last week.

Mrs. Wilson said she had made arrangements with her husband to send all correspondence to her by way of the St. Johns post office, which is a few miles from Sloatsburg. The Clark baby attracted the coun try people by her appearance, her large blue eyes and pink complexion being particularly noticeable. The curios ity which the child nronsed made her captors grow uneasy nnd they kept her closely confined nt the Yoiimans home. As soon us the notices of the abduction reached the neighborhood 1he people began to suspect that the child was Marion Clark. They felt positive of it, because the child wore the same clothes ns at the time when she was stolen. As soon ns Deputy Sheriff Charlston learned of the ab duction he went to the farm house of Charles Y'oumans and found Mrs. Wil son, from whom he demanded the child. Mrs. Wilson claimed she knew nothing whatever of the child. The deputy sheriff produced a warrant, ar rested the woman and demanded in formation as to the whereabouts of the child. At this Mrs. Wilson weakened nnd made a confession. The baby was then produced. Arthur Clark, the father of the ab ducted baby, arrived here last evening and identified the child ns his lost Marion. The arrest of the man giving the name of James Wilson, husband of the woman, took place soon after Mr. Clark had departed.

Bogus Arkansas Bonds re Discovered In New York-Thelr Face Value II ai7ft,ODO. Little Rock, Ark., June 3. A lettei of inquiiy from the executor of a New Y'ork estate, addressed to State Treas urer Little, has unearthed a bond swin dle which already amounts to $175,00C and which state offlciuls believe may on Investigation, run up into the mil lions. The letter Is from William I Jacques, 158 West One Hundred and Nineteenth street, New Y'ork, and is as follows: Dear Sir As executor and heir of my father's estate, Kdwnrd J. Jacques, deceased, I desire to make Inquiries re gnrding 70 bonds, 6 per cent., of the state of Arkansas, series issued 1870, of which the enclosed list gives the numbers now held here. The bonds are under an agreement for settlement between the state of Arkansas and the bondholders, to be consummated In the present year, 1899. Will you let me know at your earliest convenience what the prospects are looking to a settlement, and information concern ing the bonds that would be of service to me in the settlement of my father t estate 1 would greatly appreciate." Then follows a schedule of 70 bonda In the possession of Mr. Jacques of the series issued January 1, 1870, bearing 6 per cent, interest, Seventeen of these bonds, rnnging in number from 3 to 420, are shown on the state bond record to have been redeemed and can celled, with the exception of two, which are now in the permanent school fund and actually in the vaults of the state treasury. How Mri Jacques could have the same bonds in his possession Is a riddle thnt can be solved only on the suppo sition that they are counterfeits. Mr. Little points out the fact that n bond of that issue could have been readily forged by changing the numbers. The reninining 53 bonds are ns valueless as the paper upon which they are print ed, as they come within the limits of those repudiated by the Fishback amendment. CEDED TO GERMANY.

He had received no information, he said, ns to the cession nnd the German foreign office has not communicated the facts to him. Reports have been current from time to time that Spain was figuring on a transfer of sovereignty of the Caro lines and that Germany had made over tures looking to their acquisition in the extension of her colonial posses sions. Sovereignty over the Caro lines was formally adjudged by the pope in 1885 to be in Spain and was admitted by Germany and Great Brltuin. This wns after a rather pro longed dispute, opened up by Germany raising her flag over the island of 1 ap, Germnn interests in the Carolines are extensive and have been fostered by a provision of the pope's award, he ns arbitrator awarding sovereignty to Spain, but reserved to the German gov ernment special trade facilities. The Marianne islands, which go with the Carolines and Palaos in the cession, of course do not include Guam, over which the American flag now flies. In cluding (Irani the Mariannes, tho Carolines nnd Palaos have a total areit of almost 1.000 Knglish square miles and a combined population ot about 45,000 people. Over all this, save the American acquired island of Guam, the German flag is to be hoisted. TREASURE STOLEN. A Box Containing $25,000 In Gold Is Taken from the Coin Room of Steamship.
