Bloomington, Ills., Nor. la— Peter Rowe, a rich lauker of Weuona, north of this city, and his wife, were found murdered yesterday morning. They had just moved luto a now residence, and it is supposed that the mur derer thought there Was considerable money in the house. The villain used a coupling pin, beating both of his victims to death with it. The room prosuited a shocking sight, th bodies of both Mr. Howe and his wife tielnp terribly bruised and pounded about the head, and the horrible nature of the fiend's visl l being visible in other ways. The object o' the murderer was plainly one of plunder, but he did not realize much beyond a few trinkets Mr. Howe has, at times, been known to liav. considerable sums in hia house, but there wm none at the time of the murder. Wenone and the surrounding country is greatly ex cited over the brutal crime. Mr. Howe ha resided at Weuona for years and was widely known. The firm name of the bank was formerly Howe, Hodges & Kelson, but ol late it hud been Howe & Hon. Charles Burkhard, a dissolute fellow, was suspected of committing the crime, and a watch was placed on the rooms over a grocery, where ho resided with his wife. He discovered the smtineis, and going to his bedroom out his throat with a razor and diet! within a few minutes. It is stated that the cause of the deed waJ petty spite. lynched had he not committed suicide. Burkhard would have bo©u CONCERNING ALASKA.

The governor says but little has been ac complish«! in the way of agricultural devel opment. The only obstacle iu the way ol agriculture, iu the opinion of tho governor, is that the lands are not available for settle ment.

He Anticipated Removal at a routing Bloating—Scotland Yard Joins In tho Re joicing—A Socialist Outbreak feared In Consequence. London, Nov. 13.— Sir Charles Warren, chief of the Metropolitan police, has re signed. It transpires that Sir Charles Warren hod not intended to resign, despite the popular clamor for bis removal, until in the latter part of last week ho heard, from what seemed to him ex cellent authority, that the govern ment hod decided to make of him a vicarious sacrifice in the interest of ^ one or two of his / superiors inofficial À life. Knowing that «Î the cabinet would * hold a council on Saturday, presum ably with the ob ject >f making his 8 ir chaules tvariien. case the chief sub ject of discussion, Oon. Warren wrote a letter to Home Secretary Matthews on Fri day sveniag, tendering his resignation, os tensibly because the home secretary, a week previous, had mildly censured him for hav ing written a magazine article defending the administration at Scotland Yard, tha writing of which was a violation of the civil eervice rule« It is undeniably a fact that until the receipt of Gen. Warren's letter Mr. Mat thew « was not aware that the former had written the article mentioned, but being fully aware that be was the principal person for whosa shortcomings the chief commis sioner of metropolitan police was to be made a scajwgoat the home secretary made ha«t« to accept the resignation end secure in it* acceptance the acquiescence of his colleagues. The police as well as the general public are delighted at the retirement of Oen. Warren, whoso arbitrary administration baa rendered life miserable to them, but ail fear that the sudden change in tho bead of tha police de triment will involve temporary trouble with the Socialists, who are conspicuously jubilant over Warren's departure from Scot land Yard, and already discussing plans for a demonstration in celebration of the event. Every Socialist, and, to his sorrow, almost every shopkeeper in the vicinity, remembers that to-day is tho anniversary of tha bloody attempt of a mob, led by Commoner Graham, to force its way into Trafalgar square in defiance of Gen. Warrens tm ML % order posted throughout London two days before, and many persons express fear that tho retirement of the man whose prompt action averted a terrible and prolonged riot on that occasion will embolden tho lawless clement to violence. Since tha announcement of Gen. Warren's resignation It has leaked out that ho carried his habitual meanuess to the length of squab bling about the terms of hiring the biood bouuds whici wore brought into requisition in tho attempt to run down the Whitechapel murderer. This so disgusted the owner of the dogs that he removed them to the country a fortnight ago, and no hounds have been em ployed since, the assertions of the police offi cials to tho contrary notwithstanding. It is probable that either Assistant Commissioner Monro, thief Constable Wood, of Man chester, or Mr. C. E. Howard Vincent, member of parliament for Central Sheffield, will succeed Gen. Warren, though Home Secretary Matthews favors Chief Constable Farndale, of Birmingham, for tho position. At the inquest on the body of the Kelly »oman a witness testified that ha saw the murderer enter tho house with the woman shortly before the killing. Ho noticed that the man's face had a curiously blotched ap pearance. Helen»?«! from Wexford «lall. asKi Dublin, Nov. 13.—Commoner John E.

Cleveland, Nov. li— Mayor Babcock gave to th. press a let by received by him from Thomas Axworthy, written prior to the former's hasty departure for Montreal, where the mayor was unsuccessful in his at tempt to secure an interview with the de faulting city treasurer. Tho letter bears date Oct. 38, and in it tha writer says that his downfall was caused by loaning on call, at the suggestion of prominent Cleveland parties, large sums of money on which he re ceived the interest regularly. Greatly to bis surprise, however, when the principal was demanded it was not forthcoming, and in vestigation proved that the men, whom h. supposed to be worth millions, could not hav* paid ths loans within four months after they were made. There was a combination to ruin him, the writer says, and it succeeded admirably. Mr. Axworthy then gives a list of his entire belongings, estimated by him to he worth »310,000, and authorizes the mayor to act as ills attorney in tho transfer of his property to the city, to make good, as far as possible, the loss sustained.
