TEXAS G1TES A MOST KOIAIi WELCOME
Sax Antoxio, April 20. The Presi
dental party arrived bere at 9 o'clock this
moruin, promptly on time. For the first
time since their departure from "Washing
ton, they were welcomed in a heavy rain
storm. The reception was most enthusiastic,
but tbc effect of the liberal street decoration
was spoiled by the steady downpour, which
necessitatedthe abandonment of all out
door ceremonies.
The Kcception Committee included Gen
eral Stanley, Representative Crane, Mayor
Cailahan, citizens and a number of ladies.
The President was received with a military
salute of '21 Runs, and on leaving the train
was escorted through a line composed of
Grand Army men and Confederate veterans.
The party was then taken in carnages to the
Gr.ind Opera House, which was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. Addresses of
welcome were made by Governor Hogs: and
Mayor Callihan. and responded to by the
President, Secretary KusK and Postmaster
General Wanamaker. The President then
held a public reception, which was largely
attended.
He Appreciates the Rain.
At the reception the President spoke t
some leugth. In the course of his remarks
he said:
I very much regret that frequent speaking m
tne iipi'n air during the past ueek and the very
licvr atmosphere wbicli we have this morn
ing basromew hat Impaired my oic. lam
sure vou will crown yourhospitaliijr and Kind

bneflv. Isjmpathiz Kith you in the distress
which jou feel that the day is so ucprnpltious
lor any street demonstration, but I have been
told by une wise in snch matters that this rain
is worth ia.000,000 to estern Texas. That
being the case, it greatly moderates our re
gret. I generouMy asure j ou that if it is worth as
much mone as my iriencl has estimated, I
shall not take more than half that sum. Visit

anticipated great pleasure in looking upon the
remains of an earlier occupancy of this terri

Our glance this morning must be brief and
Imperfect, but it lias been written, and the tra
ditions of the martyrdom which occurred here
arc liesli in your minds, and still an inspiring
storj to be repeated to your children. I re
member in ray early boyhood to hae beard
the thrilling descriptions of the expe
riences of an undo whose name

freeaom in which he took a part, so that the
ktorj to me goeB back to those dim, early recol
lections of childhood. I am glad to stand
whore those recollections arc revived and
freshened for the events of momentous im
portance to this country, to this btate, and to
the whole Ucion. I rejoice that yon have here
so great a commonwealth.
Texas Doesn't Want Snb-Divlslon.
The stipulations under which Texas came
into the nmonof States, and which provided
that the great territory might be sub-divided
into five States,scemSDOt to attract much atten
tion In Texas. Indeed, as far as I can judge,
no man woold be able succesfully to appeal to
the suflrages of any hamlit in Texas ou the
issue that the State should be divided at all.
Tbe great industrial capabilities which you
have: the beneficent climate that spreads over
much of vour vast termors; the great variety
of productions winch your soil and climate
render possible, give a promise for the future
of a prominence among tbe great States which
it seem to me can scarcely fail to bring Texas
to the front rank. You are only now begin
ning to plow this vast stretch of land; yon are
onlj now beginning to diversify those interests,
to emancipate youo-elves by producing at horn
m vour own fields all of those pmaucts which
are necessarv to con'fortable existence.
1 hope jnu will soon add, indeed you are now
largely adding, to this diversity of agricultural
pursuits a diversity of mechanical pursuits.
The advantage wnich you have to transmute
the great production of the field into tbe manu
factured product is very great. There can cer
talnlx be no reason whj a tery large part of the
1,000.000. 000 bales of cotton which you produce
should uot be spun in Texas.
I hope your people will more and more'turn
their thoughts to this matter, for just in pro
portion as a community or State suitably di
vides its energies among variou industries so
do-s it re ain the wealth it produces and in
crease its population. A great Englishman
visiting this country some time ago. In speak
ing of the impressions which were made upon
Ills mind, said lie was constantly asked as he
traveled through the conntry whether he was
not amazed at its territorial extent. He said
while this, of course, was a noticeable incident
of travel, he wondered that we did not forget
all our bigness of a territory in a contempla
tion of the great spectacle we represented as a
free people in organized and peaceful com
munities. He regarded this side of our cnun
trj and her institutions as much more impera
tive tlian i s material development r its ter
ritorial extent, and he was right in that judg
ment, Oor Grand System of Government,
Mv fellow-citizens, the pride of America, that
which should attract tbe admiration, and has
attracted the admiration, of uiany people on tbe

This Icstra of equality, the perfect system

every one of jour communities, even your

nij honored host. Governor Hogg, who sits be
side me, and who in the discharge of bis public
duties can "influence the progress of this
great measure. Ifo material greatness, no
wealth, no accumulations of sulendor, are
to be compared vith those bumble and homely

Blood and Bullets.
:FriruL tklegkjlm to thx dispatch, i
Pkovidejjce, April 20. A tragedy was
enacted at the little borough of Foster Cen
ter on Sunday afternoon. The place is
miles away from any telegraph.or telephone
office, and nothing was known here of the
tragedy until a horseman dashed into the
city seeking Sheriff Rathbun's aid
in capturing the murderer. He
was strongly intrenched in an
attic room, well armed and commanding the
yard in every direction. He not only re
tused to surrender himself to the neighbors,
but he held them prisoners in the lower
part of the house. He threatened death to
the first person who left the house, and as
he was a crack shot, he succeeded in keep
ing several would-be captors cooped up in
the kitchen until darkness enabled them to
escape ,
James Pavne is a wealthy farmer living
at Chestnut" Hill, Conn. His nephew,
J.imes Adams, a reckless young hercules,
has been boarding with the widow Smith,
who lives in a little farmhouse remote from
other houses. On Friday last Adams wrote
a note to this uncle, inviting him to spend
Sunday at the Smith house. Mr. .Payne,
who is'about 60 years of age, harnessed his
horse and drove over to his nephew's
boarding place. The young man met hira
at the door and invited him upstairs.
He led the way to an attic room and Mr.
Payne followed". Once in the room Adams
loe'ded the door and then faced his nncle
with a derringer in one hand and an iron bar
in the other and coolly demanded money,
saying that he had gotten into trouble and
must have money to clear himself. Tbe
uncle had a small sum with him and offered
that, but it was not enough to satisfy Adams.
Mr. Payne offered to go and get more
but the young man would not allow him to
leave the room. Mr. Payne pleaded for his
life. This only made Adams the more vio
lent He cocked his revolver and fired one
shot through the roof. The old man the
moment the revolver was turned away from
his head spranc upon his nephew, but he
was no match for the powerful young fel-
Adams held him off with one band and
fired point blank at his face. The bullet
crashed through the right jaw and passed
out of the neck near the jugular. Another
bullet quickly followed, aud this went into
the left chest above the heart and near the
shoulder bone, where it lodged in tbe
body. Mr. Payne fell near the trap
door to the stairway, and then kicking
it away with his foot, he fell headlong to
the first floor of the old house. Adams did
not follow, but shouted to Payne to send the
officers along or anybody else, that he would
kill five men yd Mr. Payne, bleeding
copiously, managed to get into his buggy
and alarm tbe residents. While one .con
ducted Mr. Payne to a doctor, several others
went to the little old farmhouse with the
intention of capturing the would-be mur
derer, but before tbey had entered they
quickly realized that he commanded the
situation and dared not leave the house for
fear of being shot. At night one or them
stole out and came to this city for aid. Sheriff
Kathbun sent a posse, with instructions to
capture the yonng man dead or aliye. They
didn't leave here until nearly noon, and
they expected a hard nglit before routing
the young desperado from his fortress. But
tbey found only a lifeless corpse when they
reached the farmhouse.' Adams maintained
his defiant attitude until the posse could be
seen approaching the place, then he placed
a revolver to his temple and blew his brains
out.

SAILOSS BADLY TREATED.
It May Be a Question for the Action of the
British Government.
Ottatva, April 20. It has been learned
that the schooner Maud S, of Shelburn,
N. S., which had sailed a short time
ago for tbe Bering Sea sealing
grounds, put in at Good Success Bay in the
Argentine Bepnblic, and discovered a num
ber of British sailors who were shipwrecked
and compelled by the authorities, who suc
cored them, to man a life-saving station at
that place.
It is believed to be a case demanding
prompt action by the British Government,
and further information has been asked from
the captain of tbe Canadian scoohner.

THE
TEEATY WITH SPAIN.
Based Upon tho Reciprocity Clause of
" the.ffew Tariff Law.
WHAT WE GET FOR CONCESSIONS.
Italians Still Complaining; About Blaine's
Diplomatic Slowness.
PORTUGUESE IN THE SOUTH OP AFKICA
Madbid, April 20. The reciprocity con
vention between Spain and 'the United
States as drafted by Premier CanoTas del
Castillo, representing Spain, and. General
J. W. Toster, representing the United
States is bated, as far as the United States
is concerned, upon the third or reciprocity
section of the new American tariff law. In
return for the privilege of free entry into
the United States of Antilles sugar, mo
lasses, coffee and hides, and a rednction of
the duty on tea, America will obtain -exemption
from duties on most of her raw and
manufactured prodncts, and a reduction of
tariff on cereals and flour. The negotia
tions, were protracted upon the question of
the entire abolition ot tariff on cereals,
flours and oils, including petroleum and
lard.
The same question m regard to tobacco
was also raises, but not coming within the
scope of the third section of the American
tariff law was put aside. Premier Canovas
offered protracted resistence to the abolition
of the tarifl on flour. Barcelona and San-
tander traders, who are largely interested in
flour shipments, presented 80 protests, which
fortified the Minister in bis indisposition to
accede to the American proposals. Eventu
ally representations thtt American reci
procity would be impossible without the
free admission ot American cereals induced
Premier Canovas to assent to such a reduc
tion of the tariff as will place American
flour upon a nearly equal footing with
Spanish flour. Santander merchants de
clare that taking into consideration the cost
of the transportation of Costile grain, of
which the bulk goes to the Antilles, Ameri
can flour will crush out the Spanish product
in the Spanish' West Indies. Cnba now con
sumes 600,000 barrels of flour yearly chiefly
Spanish, which enters free of duly, and pays
lorit $12 per barrel.
Trade iu American flour, burdened with
an extra duty ol 20 percentage since 1889, has
been completely wiped out to the advantage
of the Spanish product. Under the new
convention tbe entry of American flour
practically free from duty, will lower the
price to about (6 per barrel, and will extin
guish the importation, of Spaniih flour,
while increasing the Cuban consumption to
1,000,000 barrels yearly, all of which will
be American product. If the pressure of
Spanish interests had not been counteracted
by the demands of the Cuban commission of
notables, who were determined to obtain re
ciprocity with the United States, Premier
Canovas would have declined to make such
concessions.
The prospect ol a dangerous tension of the
relations of Spain with Cuba and Porto
Bico resulting possibly in civil war obliged
the Government to sacrifice home industries
to colonial interests. Under the mew con
vention America will obtain a kind of zol
vereiu with tbe Spanish Antilles. Her
wheat, beans, flour, lard, petroleum, manu
factured produpts and machinery will enter
practically free of duty. Among other
Spanish exports olive oil will be replaced
by American lard and beans, now exported
to Cuba iu large quantities will cease to be
sent. The advantages resulting to Cuba
will be great, hut it is impossible to estimate
the injury to Spanish trade.
THE CASE OF DE OOBAIN.
Arrangements Have Been Made for the .Ar
rest of the Disgraced Member.
London, April 20. Mr. Smith, in the
Honse of Commons to-night, was questioned
in rezard to the case of Mr. Edward De Co
bain, one of the members for Belfast who
is charged with immoral practices. In re
sponse he said that arrangements had been
issued for tbe arrest of De Cobain. He
(Mr. Smith) was not aware that Mr, De
Cobain had written letters to some of his
friends announcing that he would meet the
charges brought against him if a proper in
terval was allowed before the House pro
ceeded to expel him.
Mr. Timothy HeaIy said that if proceed
ings are taken against Mr..De Cobafn he
would move, in view of the lact that Mr.
De Cobain was Gr.ind Master of the Orange
men, that a special commission beappointed
to inquire what accessories there were to tbe
crime charged against him. Colonel Saun
derson, member for North Armagh, at this
stage of the proceedings made a statement,
the substance of which was that Mr. De
Cobain was no't the Grand Master of the
Orangemen.
MONEY SAID TO BE USED
In Parliament to Vrevent the Passage of a
Certain Bestrlcttve Oil Bill.
London, April 20. Considerable atten
tion is being directed in Parliamentary cir
cles to the singularly strong opposition that
has been developed toward the Government
bill restricting the storage aud sale- of
paraffine and other inflammable liquids.
This comparatively unimportant measure
has had placed against it more "notices of
opposition" than have ever been presented
.against any bill in the British Parliament.
Usually te'n or a dozen such notices is the
extreme limit; even in the case ot measures
of the first importance; but 60 members,
lrom among all parties, have notified that
thev will move the rejection of the inflam
mable liquids bill.
An uneasy suspicion is gaining gronnd
that the "free and incorruptible" British
Legislature has been "got at" by the lob
byists for an American oil corporition
whose trade wonld be materially affected
by the passage of this measure.
FAVA IS NOT PLEASED.
He Says Imperinll Talked Too Much and

Paeis, April 20. Baron Fava, the
Italian Minister at Washington, who re
cently left the United States on leave of
absence, bas arrived here on his way to
Home.
The Soleil declares that the Baron if much
'annoyed at the action of the United States
in regard to the New Orleans affair.
According to that paper Baron Fava,
while ou his way across the Atlantic,
assured several of his lellow passengers on
board La Gascoigne, the steamship upon
which he leit New York for Havre?,.that
tbe Marquis Imnen.ili di Fiancavilia, the
Italian Charge d' Affaires at Washington,

to have added, would not have a diplomatic
representative at Washington until the
New Orleans affair was finally settled.

OVEE THE DELAY OP BLAINE IN
SWEEIHO THOSE DEMABDS.
AN-
Cases in Which the Boman Government Has
Been lax In Its Duty That of-Paladlnl
and the Murderers of Paymaster Mc
Clure Are Instanced.
Eome, April 20. The newspapers of this
eity are complaining, bitterly of what they
term tbe leisurely manner of Mr. Blaine in
replying to the communications of .the
Italian Government relative to the New
Orleans affair. They seem to forget in
Italy that upon the means of communica
tion between governments, it takes three
weeks for Italy and the United States to
exchange communications. They also seem
to forget that tbe United States has just as
good grounds for complaint against the
Italian Government as tbe papers claim the
latter has against tbe American' Secretary
of State. Take lor instance the case of tbe
Italian salvatore, Paladini. The American
Government demanded that this offender
against tbe laws of the United States,, who
had fled to Italy, be extradited to stand
trial upon the charge of counterfeiting. The
Italian Government two weeks after the de
mand asked tbe American leeation here
what citizenship Paladini claimed, whether
American or Italian.
In response to this question tbe American
legation stated on the same day that the re
quest for in'ormation was received that' Pal
adini claimed to be an Italian subject:
This was tbe last beard of the matter for
two months, whep'in answer to tbe United
States Government's request for extradition
of Paladini the Italian Government stated
that the constitution and laws of Italy did
not allow of the carrying out of the treaty
existing between Italy and the United
States so far as tbe extradition of Italians
was concerned.
.Italy again took this position relative to
the Italian constitutiqn and laws, when the
United States subsequently demanded the
extradition of two Italians who were impli
cated in the matter of the murder of Pay
master McClure, an employe of a contractor
who was engaged in constructing n railroad
near Wilkesbarre, Pa., and Hugh Flani
gan, another employe of thesame contractor,
who were killed and robbed of a sum of
money which the paymaster had to pay la
borers, and for which crime a third Italian
was. convicted and executed by the Pennsyl
vania authorities. His two accomplices
made their escane from the United States
and returned to Italy, but the Italian Gov
ernment refused to surrender them for trial
basing its refusal on the ground that it
would be extra constitutional to surrender
Italian subjects for trial in a foreign coun
try. ON THE RUSSIAN FRONTIER.
The Kouinanlan Government Is Doing
Things to Worry Hie Czar.
LONDON, April 20. A ispatch from
Vienna says that armed bands are appear
ing in the Dobrudscha. They appear to be
Bussians and refugee Bulgarians, and they
hover between the Russian and Bulgarian
frontiers.
The Roumanian Government, evidently
friendly to Russia, is not interfering with
them, and'the Roumanian newspapers are
publishing severe attacks upon Prince
Ferdinand's Government.
The Roumanian army is being armed with
the same weapons as the Russian, and the
Russian officers are permitted treely to
inspect the troops and fortresses. The
new ministry is strongly philo-Rus-sian,
and h'as entirely overturned the
policy of General Mano, the late Premier.
Russian influences prevail in every depart
ment of the Government, and it-is reported
that a secret treaty is in negotiation be
tween Russia and Roumania, similar to that
with France. This would place at the dis
posal of the Russians neariv 300,000 Rou
manian troops, and a small but efficient
fleet, the Roumanian army being more than
double that of Bulgaria.
GEN. FOSTER IN LONDON.
He and Toung Blaine Kcturn From Their
Labors at Madrid.
London, April 20. General J. W. Fos
ter, and Mr. J. G. Blaine, Jr., have arrived
here from Madrid, where General Foster, on
behalf of the United States Government,
has been negotiating for a reciprocity treaty
with the Spanish Government. General
Foster and Mr. Blaine will sail on the
steamer Teutonic on Wedneday for New
York. Mr. Lincoln, the United States
Minister, presented. Mr. Blaine at the
Prince of Wales' levee to-day.
General Foster had been invited, bnt he
declined to attend the levee on the ground
that he had the honor twice previously and
now had his bands full of business. Gen-'
ertl Foster absolutely declines to respond
to inquiries in regard to the treaty negotia
tions, beyond expressing his belief that the
negotiations will result in an agreement.
Mr. Linooln will give a dinner in honor of
General Foster to-morrow.

Cincinnati, April 20. At 6:0S o'clock
to-night a deed' for the city of Cincinnati
was handed to Sheriff McCleary, of Pitts
burg, as he stepped off the Congo. The
Pennsylvania delegation must have been
surprised. Tbe Blaine Club, while halted,
.stood 200 strong in the foreground. Back
of this was the black-silk-hatted Lincoln
Club. Still farther back was a crowd of
6,000 or 6,000 people, packed alone the
levee.. ,
As the Pennsylvania delegation, headed
by William R. Leeds, of Philadelphia, and
Sheriff McCleary, left the boat the Blaine
Club Band struck up a welcoming tune and
the crowd cheered, A procession was
formed and marched to the Grand Hotel,
where the Pittsburgers were again cheered.
It was by all means tbe king reception of
the whole convention. The thousands who
thronged the line of march frequently ap
plauded, and cries of "Hurrah for Pitts
burg!" were frequent. Tbe Pennsylvania
delegation to-night indorsed Theodore
Stulb for National Secretary.
Arrancinc; for the Big Meeting.

Unci"; N. Y.. April 2a The friends of
Colonel Elliott .F. Snepard are booming him
for President of (lie National League.
C.W, Anderson, of New York delegation.
The Lincoln Club and the Blaine Club
and a score of -smaller Republican clubs are
keeping open honse, and will continue to do
so until Wednesday night. The decora
tions of the first two clubs mentioned are
profuse and beautiful. The 'National Ex
ecutive Committee become the guests of the
Blaine Club. The visitors throng all -the
clubrooms day and evening.
.A Great Crowd Present.
It is almost impossible to enumerate
delegations that are represented here, either
in full or by advance guards. New York,
'Pennsylvania, Indiana and Nebraska are
quartered at the Grant Hotel. Philadelphia
nas 60 delegates, Indiana has 30, and many
more are coming. President Blount, of
the Lonisiana League, is bere to-night.
The speakers who are not already here
will arrive to-morrow morning early. Gen
eral Grosvenor, o( Athens, will be oF the
number. The programme for speeches at
Musio Hall, as arranged to-night, may be
modified somewhat The order of the
speeches had not been fixed at 11 o'clock to
night, except that McKinley is to be the
third speaker, counting General Thurston
as first, and he say he will make only a
three-minute speech. Wednesday will no
doubt be the great day. The weather is
rather warm, but the sky is clear.
On every side, and especially among the
delegates themselves, are heard remarks to
the effect 'that great political significance
will attach to this week's meeting. It is
"said that the session will have a potential in
fluence on the Ohio State election and the
Presidental race of next year. Some even
say that the League Convention will silently,
but none the less certainly, determine the
man who will head the National Repub
lican ticket next year, and will further fix
the attitude of the party on momentous f3ub
lic questions.
Everybody on the Watch.
Whateverjtheabove theories may amount
to and their plausibility will not be dis
putedthe rcsnlt will not be tangible to
any but the knowing ones those who are
on tbe "inside" or those others who from
long experience in the shady ways of po
litical pursnit are able to fathom the deep
est motives of their compeers from slight
and. to the uniintiated, unimportant actions.
But the open work of tbe meeting this
week will comprise something more than
the usual routine of hearing speeches and
electing new officers for tbe succeeding
vear. It is expected that it will practically
decide upon the time and place of tbe J
National Republican Convention next year.
There are over 1,000 delegates to the
League meeting. Tney come from all parts
of the country, and are leading representa
tives of the Republican party in their re
spective districts. Many of them expect to
go to the League Convention, of '92, and
also to the National Republican Conven
tion of the same year, and this prospective
dual duty will bear fruit in tbe present
meeting. A move is already on foot to
fix the next League' Convention at the same
place and at nearly the same time as the
Nntional Convention, so that those who are
delegates to both can save travelingex
penses and the bother of attending, two big
meetings in different parts of the country.
The authors of the plan claim that time and
money will be saved by uniting the two
events so far as this may be done.
Another Strong Motive.
Tbere is another and stronger motive be
low the ones ostentatiously expressed by
those who are behind tbe movement. It
doesn't reqnire a great amount of percep
tion to appreciate tbe vast influence that the
League Convention would have upon the
Presidental fight if held only a week pre
ceding the National Convention and in the
same city. The prior meeting might drown
the bumming of many a Presidental bee.
The attempt to ally the two meetings of
'92 did not originate among the delegates
who will push the scheme. An ambitious
band is behind the project whose will no
doubt be-diacovered beiore the close of the
week's meeting. The League will be asked
to refer the matter of selecting tbe time and
place for the next convention to the execu
tive committee which can perform the duty
any time this year. It is known that the
National Republican committee sees tbe
urgent necessity of reorganizing the broken
ranks of the party as soon as possible, and
xiitp this end in view will meet at an early
date to fix tbe time of the Presidental convention
1891.

A REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
The Obect of the Becent Convention In
South Carolina.
Chableston, S.C., April 20. The re
cent meeting in Columbia, of the white
Republicans of this State, has caused a tre
mendous sensation.
5 "A: W.CIayt6n, a r0minent"white'Be
pnblican, who was instrumental in getting
up the movement, is out in a card to-day in
which he-says:
"The object of-the convention was to form
a Republican League in this State as a
branch of the National Republican League,
and to elect delegates to tbe Cincinnati con
vention of said National League.
We recognize as fully as the gentle
men at Washington that the whites
of this State cannot join a party led by
Small, Miller and equally offensive Re
publican's. Our object is to form a nucleus
aronnd which white men may rally on pro
tection, ballot reform and the money ques
tion, ignoring the race question only to ac
cord the negro his rights as an American
citizen."
There is more in the movement here than
a mere flash of the pan. Tbe meeting was
the first distinctively white Republican
Convention ever held fn this State. The
presence of a large number of prominent
white men, who have heretofore, been leaders
in the councils of the Dem&cratic party,
makes it specially significant at this time.
SHOT SOWN TEN NEGROES.
Tennesseo Mountaineers Bide Into a Bark
Camp and Shoot Bight and Left.
Chattanooga, April 20. A report
reached here frpm, Rockwood, 76 miles froth
Chattanooga on the Cincinnati Southern

ten. The 'mountaineers, it is said, had
been discharged for incompetency, and
took this method of vengeafree.
Two of .the .wounded negroes reached
Rockwood and took the train for Chatta
nooga where they live. The train 'men re
port them having boarded the train, but
they cannot be found, in the city, probably
alighting in some of the suburbs. The
party who spoke to them states they
asserted that the shooting crowd numbered
20 or 30 and used, rifles. . . -

LONDON, April 21. The StandarS says
that President Harrison's utterances 'have a
"Rule Brittanma" air, whjch betray his

to the English ear, but that they are a con
fession of failure.

NEW Yobk, April 20. About 10 o'clock
on Sunday moruing a blonde young Ger
man accompanied by a yonng-woman reg
istered at the Grand Union Hotel as P.
Behrend and wife, New Tork. The yonng
man had a pleasant face aud a small, light
mustache. Hs appeared to be about 25
years old. The young woman was dark and
did not seem over 23. She'wore a spring
snit of gray woolen cloth and a spring bon
net to match. They bad a small, satchel.
They were assigned to a room on the third
floor, faciogon Eorty-second.
Tbe man paid $3 in advance for one day.
Yesterday the young man did not visit the
office, and the superintendent told Peter
Duncan, the bead ballman, to stop at the
room on his rounds .at 8:50 o'clock to-night
and find outi'whethcr the couple intended to
retain the room. The door was locked on
the inside. Dnncan thonght he smelled
gai, and he put up a stepladder and peered
through the transom, which admitted a lit
tle light from the hall.
He saw that the bed had been drawn into
the middle of the room, directly under the
central gas fixture. There were two figures
upon it. -
Dead in Their Bedroom.
Duncan openedrthe transom, climbed into
the room and nnlocked the door. Tbe young
man and woman were dead upon the bed in
their night-dresses, wrapped in each other's
arms. The windows had been closed tight
and the bed so placed that tbe gas jets were
directly over .the pillows. -Both lets were
turned on lull. Over each jet tbe end of a
length ot plain rubber gas tube was fast
ened lightly by a yellow ribbon. Each
tube wus. eight teet long and fell to the pil
low below. The free ends of these tubes
were in tbe months ot the dead couple.
Death must have been swift and nearly
painless.
Tne pair lay tin. a -mais of white bed
clothes. Pillows had been heaped high
under their heads and bulged out on cither
side. Tbe sheet and counterpane had been
drawn up nearly to'"therr waists. The girl's
right arm .was under the young man's neck,
and his head was npon iier sboulder. Her
leit hand rested upon his sboulder. Between
them lay a bunch of white roses. Upon
the table were a letter and an envelope
containing a key, both addressed to Mrs.
Thomas Miller,210E-ist.Niuth street.a letter
addressed to Fritz Bebrend, South William
street, and a note for the Coroner. Tbe
satchel contained nothing but a few toilet
articles and tbere were no papers iu the
clothiug. No money was found. Near the
letters was a half emptied two ounce vial of
laudanum, bought at the Oriental Phar
macy, One Hundred and Twenty-first street
and Pleasant avenue, and an empty pill
box.
The Bodies Bemoved.
SuDerintendent Fitch sent for Mrs. Mil
ler, 'who refused to come. He notified the
police and the Corpner. About onidnight
a representative of Patterson, Bevins &
Plowright, undertakers, came with two
plain coffins and a permit of removal, signed
by Coroner Hanlr, and removed tbediodies.

HADE THE MONKE WEEfi.
Effect of Kentucky Whisky Upon a Monkey
in England.
London, April 20. Despite extraordin
ary efforts to Keep it quiet, the story of a re
markable incident that recently ,transp!rei
in one of the private dining rooms of the.
House of Commons has just leaked out.
According to the version, as told at one ol
the principal parliamentary clubs, it ap
pears that a prominent member, of the Irish
parliamentary party, and an equally promi :
nent supporter of the Government,
and whose voice is frequently heard in
debate, became involved in a friendly
controversy regarding the relative merits'
of two brands of whisky. The Irish mem
ber is partial to a brand which bears an
Irish label, while the favorite liquor of the ,
Tory bears the seal of a Kentucky dis
tillery. It was finally decided to test the
efficacy of the two brands ou a couple of
moukey;, and, by the connivance of oire of '
the under-stewards, two small chimpanzees
were smuggled into the dining room.
Operations were inaugurated by adminis
tering to one a good-sizeddrinkot the liquor
favored by the Irishman, and under its in
fluence the creature became hilarious in tho
highest degree, so much so that at one time
the honorable members were compelled to .
e.'cape from the room in order to avoid its'
caresses and embraces. After a short in-.
terim the Tory proceeded to regale tbe '
other chimpanzee witb the Kentucky brand,
bnt instead of getting hilarious the animal
became maudlin drunk, and betaking itself
to a corner proceeded to shed copious tears.
With the idea of reviving his spirits one) ,
member offered it a glass containing tha
Irish whisky, but after allowing its fumes
to penetrate its nostrils the creature took
the glass in its hand and burled it across
the room. The other chimpanzee, however,
was ready and willing to have 'em filled up
atraiu. and was finally borne from the house;
through one of the nnderground passages irW
a condition of uncontrollable hilarity.
