REPRESENTING THE RUSSIANS Mar Astonishing Carter Revealed at Her DeathTwo "Wive" Boar TestimonyRomano of tho Secret Service. CHICAGO, pec 4. The three days wonder growing out of the discovery that Nicolai de Reyelan, for years a clerk to Baron Shllppenbach, Russian consul In Chicago, was a woman, a discovery only made after ner death in Phoenix, Ariz., was solved yesterday : by admissions of the two women with whom she lived as "husband. The "motive for DeReyelan's mas querading which had been kept up for 15 years Is mixed. Part of it dates back to an early affair with a girl in Southern Russia, at the first period of her assuming "manhood," and part of the explanation Is found in her connection with revolutionary "bunds" in this city and Russia. Mrs. Euge nie Bruchulls, De Reyelan's first "wife" and Mrs. Anne De Reyelan, both un bosomed themselves yesterday In ex plaining the "mystery." .... There was no great secret dating back to an "affair" with a nobleman in Russia. The woman, De Reyelan, was of the common class of the south ern part The 11-year old boy, who has been reported as being the real child of the De Reyelan woman, is In reality, as Mrs. Anne De Reyelan has stated, her own child. The boy is the son of Joseph Armstrong, her former husband, and the register of the brth Is In the city hall. Armstrong ap peared and claimed the fatherhood. The reported "kidnapping" of the boy is a fiction, according to Mrs. De Rey elan. The Idea of posing as a man grew gradually with the De Reyelan girl.

She went to the new town of Kamnlyets and there, as a man, won the love of a young girl, Jenya Vasall ovltch. ' Throughout all her life in America as a man the romance dung to her. There was a dairy which Mrs, Bruchu ii's revealed, telling all the details of this sad romance. It told of how the De Reyelan girl lost the lov of "Jen ya,;; referred to a "My angel girl," through an affair with another girl in another quarter of SL Petersburg. During the years of her double life in New Tork and Chicago and the city of Mexico letters constantly went back to Russia to the "Angel girl' The girl wrote pitiful letters, begging to be brought to this, country, saying that she would be good and true and at one period De Reyelan tried to In' duce her friend Francis Bruchulis, to marry her old "sweetheart," DeReyel- an fled from Russia to escape the lm portunlttes of "Jenya," In the City of Mexico, De Reyelan was an aide to Adolph Deverschnlts, for years acting Russian charge d'af faires. After the death of Dever schnlts It was d'scovered that "He" was a woman. For a short time in that city De Reyelan lived as a wom an, but upon leaving for New Tork, assumed the dress and role of a man. In New Tork, feeling secure of her deception, she married her first "wife" and from there the story proceeds to Chicago.

One factor In the present stringency of the money market which seonia to have Imwii ov erlooked by the wise one who don't know how it happened, is the Chrlat mas flow of good American rash to Europe, This year its volume la greater than ever before, and the clerks In the money order department of the postofflce have. been working overtime for a month to keep up with the rush. So far more than $1000,000 ha been added to the Christmas fund of the old countries by relatives and friends here. The Celtic, which sailed on December 11, carried the largest mail ever tent from New York. It consisted of 4,033 sack,' containing 80.534 registered articles and 4,187 articles In the parcels post. It includ ed money orders which reached a to tal of I905.04S.6S In 58.SS3 orders, an average of $15.50 each. The largest amount, $279,(38, went to Great Bri tain, Luxemburg got $135. the small est sum, while other small amounts went to Egypt and Portgual. To Italy went the second largest sum, $143,973. Sweden came third with $s,M0, Aus tria got $82,000, Hungary $89,000, Ger many $88,000, Norway $54,000, Den mark $13,000, Switzerland $10,000. France $9,000, Belgium $5,000, while the thrifty Dutchmen sent back to the land of the dykes only $2,000. The local custom house and apprais er's stores have never had a busier year than that just closing, and the officials predict that, the government's revenue for this year will bo. higher than ever before, Last year the com merce of the city reached the enor mous total of $1,420,823,988, including the exports and imports of both mer chandise and bullion. For the first eleven months of tho present year the transactions ( aggregato $1,271,407,935, and it is expected that the trade movements of tho month of December will increase the total to $1,501,845,957, or $81,021,871 more than last year. At tha custom house it is estimated that on December 81, the duties collected during the year will amount to at least $200,000,000. Last year the rev enue from this source was $183,752, 315, against $170,270,776 In 1904. These figures show to what an -extent New York serves as the clearing house of tho foreign trade of the country. In the first eleven months of 1896 the to tal exports and imports through this port had a value of only $731,329,851 against more than a billion and , a quarter so far this year, in a total of a little more than $3,000,000,000 for tho entire country. Among other things for the amuse ment of out of town visitors the en tertainment menu this year Includes two grand operas, in which the rival ries of the stars are mot always con fined to the stage, Signers Caruso and Benci have Just concluded a mer ry war in which they recklessly hurled at each other the figures representing their respective salaries. Considering the number and size of the figures, it is remarkable that no more harm was done. Just now the group which Is occasioning the most comment from habltutes of Broadway is a galaxy of some eight or ten operatic stars, rep resenting at least five different nation alities, who are all stopping at the Hotel Astor, on Longacre Square. In cluded In the number are Pol Plan con, Alessandro Benci, Mme. Emma Eames, Miss Bessie Abbot, Mme, de Clsneros, Eenaud, the new baritone; Morltz Rosenthal and Yvette, Gull bert. So far no blood has been shed; in fact, in seeming defiance of all tra ditions to the contrary, thse. celeri ties are dwelling together in the ut most pesca and harmony undor the mme roof, while, as If to fling the gauntlet in tho very face of fate, Os car Harnmerstein and Hcrr Hulnrich Conreld, rival managers of thin musi cal constellation, may frequently be men lunching or dining in the some room. , A new problem is Interesting the statisticians who take pleasure in fig uring on the growth of New York in population. That Is the question, of how th city will be 'affected by the transportation; and terminal improve ments resulting from the expenditures of hundreds of millions of dollars now being made by the railroads entering the city. While this will develop the metropolitan area' us a whole so thm the Statistician iwdlt-t tht- New York will hwi London as th world's metropolis by 1920, the f net, thnt the greatest of these Improvements will facilitate transit to New Jersey, Is likely to deprive the elty proper of tens of thousand of Inhabitants who will he lost to It so far ns the census returns wll llndieat. The completion of four great tunnels under the North River, with the possible addition of the world's greatest bridge spanning It, will result In drawing a tremon dous number of New Yorkers to the hills and shores of New Jersey, which will thus be brought Into close and direct touch with the metropolis, A writer In the .New York Sun predicts that this exodus to the Oarden Hint will be the greatest movement of Its kind that has 1 ever occurred. Of course New York's liw will be New Jersey's gain and the distribution of population by its numerous trolley lines will convert the whole northern end of the state Into a practically con tinuous suburban city. ORDER RESCINDED. Oil Welle In Indian Territory Opened Pending Further Investigations, Ml'SKOGBE, I, Tm Dec. M.-Indlan Inspector George W. Wright yesterday received notice from the Interior De partment rescinding the recent order to shut down all oil and gas wells In the Osage nation. The wells, with the exception of three, wore closed by 'Deputy Marshals a fiw days ago. In vestigation foltowed by the , govern ment, It being charged thnt over 480O acres had been leased to one company or operator which Is against the rules of the Interior Department. The or der rescinding the recent order from the Interior Department would Indi cate that the Department Is either con vinced that the oil men nre operating in good faith or thnt the department Is waiting for more Information. The latter Is more likely ae the Indian In spector Is preparing a report on the oil and gas situation In the Osuge na tion at the request of the Secretary of the Interior. FEWER JAPANESE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dor.24.-The ex odus of the Japanese laborers from the sugar plantation of Hawaii to the United States ! showing a tendency to decrease, said Mr. Mntsubarn, the new Japanese Vice-consul at San Francis co, yesterday.
