THEWILLWASFORGED
Chicago Puzzled by Latest De
velopments in Scudder's
Case.
The Will in Favor of the Doc
tor's Wife Is an Evident
Forgery.
It Is Strong and Regular in
Language, but Weak in
Signature.
fin Infant Slaughtered* by a
Five-Year-Old Fiend in
Ohio.
Chicago, March 4.— Who drew up the
forged will? is tonight the first question
in the genuine Jekyll-Ilyde case that is
puzzling all Chicago. But for the al
leged discovery of Dr. Scudder's sur
reptitious handling of the private pa
pers of the rich woman he is supposed
to have assassinated, he might never
have been suspected of crime. The
forged will making the doctor's wife
the chief legatee is in the possessiou of
Attorney Mann, who, with ex-Senator
Doolittle, is representing the dead
woman's husband and sister. Inspec
tion today showed that it is not a bung
ling job, and the interest in this was
heightened by the fact that the circum
stances under which Dr. Scudder had
the paper drawn, if he did it, will
likely go fat to prove or disprove his
sanity and guilt. The document is in
perfect legal verbiage, clear in all its
provisions. It seemingly was prepared
by a lawyer, and the question of the at
torney's identity and possible complicity
la being carefully put towards solution.
In this connection it is noted that the
paper upon which the will is written
is of aaWaat
Peculiar Texture
and extraordinary size. The dead
woman's signature, it also appears, was
made "Elizabeth Maria Dunton," in
stead of "Elizabeth M. Parker Dunton."
Those who assume that the doctor is
guilty of poisoning his victim and beat
ing her brains out have the theory that,
after he had placed the forged will
among Mrs. Dunton's papers, and . had
succeeded in causing her death, he be
came worried about-, the error in the
signature, and it was this which led
him to feign illness, and remain at
home during the funeral to seek to
again" get possession of the. paper, an
attempt which, it is alleged, tended
more than anything else to arouse the
■uspicions of the other relatives.
i It leaked out today that an expert to
tvhom the two wills were submitted
before Dr. Scudder's arrest, and who
knew nothing of the circumstances of
the case, decided without hesitation that
the two documents were not signed by
tne same person. He declared one sig
nature showed the tremor incident to
old age or feebleness, and the other was
firmly written, with forced attempts at
irregularity of outline.
Autopsy at Jni.esville.
■ 'Janesville, Wis.. March 4. Not
until 2 o'clock this afternoon was the
coffin, of , Mrs. Frank Dunton opened.
Then for the first time since her injury
the relatives saw the dead woman's
face. When the body was placed in
the coffin at Chicago, the face was kept
covered at Dr. Scudder's instance, be
cause "it was wholly unpresentable."
As the body was placed on an operating
table this evening it was seen that there
were live wounds. One was across
the bridge of the nose and was
a deep depression about an
inch long by a half inch wide.
Three were close together on top of the
head, and might have been made by one
stroke. The fifth was at the side of the
head, just above the temple. The ex
amination was conducted by Dr. Henry
.'aimer, surgeon of the Wisconsin - Na
tional Guard, and Dr. C.W. Chittenden,
both of this city. Late tonight Urs.
Palmer and Chittenden began another
autopsy.
SCHEMER OR MADMAN.
Dr. Scudder; Acts Funny, but Is;
Judged to Be Sane.
Chicago, March 4.— The case of Dr.
B. M. Scudder, who is accused of the
murder of his mother-in-law, Mrs. F. H.
Dunton, and who is confined at the De
tention hospital, pending an inquiry
into his sanity, was called in the insane
court this morning, but on application
by his attorney the hearing was post
poned one week, in order that an op
portunity might be had to have him ex
amined by experts on the subject. Mr.
Dunton, by his attorneys, today pre
sented a will of his late wife in court,
and was granted letters testamentary
under it. It leaves all of her prop
erty, valued at ?48.000, to her hus
band, three sisters and two grandsons.
.The will which leaves some of the
property to Mrs. Dunton's adopted
daughter, who is Dr. Scudder's wife,
was mentioned by the court, and the at
torney for Mr. Dunton stated that he
would avail himself of the privilege of
not presenting it for thirty days. The
attorneys claim that it is a forgery. By
trie employment of a ruse a reporter
managed to secure admission to Dr.
Scudder's cell in the Detention hospital
today. His inexpert impression as the
result of the interview was that of "a
man painfully sane and endeavoring to
convey the impression of insanity.?'.
When asked what he had to say to the
charge preferred against him. he de
clared that there was no charge. He
was then asked if he pretended
not to know that the charge
was that of murdering Mrs. Dunton.
"Murder," he screamed. "It's a damna
ble lie. I knew nothing about it. Oh,
yes, 1 believe they did say something
about murder, but I was too sick to pay
any attention to it. Such an idea is
nonsense, utter nonsense, I say. It is
preposterous. It is the result of a hell
ish plot. Dou you think 1 would kill an
old woman who had only a few months
to live at best? Rot and nonsense."
Then the doctor took ou a .wild look,
and accused the reporter of being the
fiend who had leered at him through
the bars of his cell all night. As soon
as the reporter had left the cell, how
ever, the prisoner became perfectly
sane to all outward .appearances. The
attendant who accompanied the re
porter, a man of experience in such
cases, gave it as his positive belief thai
the mail was sane. <3_3_SS_S
, Dr. Henry M. Lyman, an authority
on Insanity, had an hour's interview
with Dr. Scudd.r today. He declines
to speak for publication about the case,
but Scudder's attorney says Dr. Lyman.
Is convinced of Dr. Scudder's insanity.

Boston-. March ; 4. — Dr. Nathaniel
Ware Howes, indicted for alleged tarn
" vy

not guilty, and was held in $500, which

A IiITTI.I- BLACK IMP.
Murder Done by a Five-Year-Old
Columbia, S. C. March 4.— Mrs. Ad
die Beacham left her seven-months-old
baby sleeping in the house and stepped
out. After she had gone Bud Harris, a
little five-year-old negro boy, slipped in,
carrying a bent and heavy piece of iron
with a point. He stole up to the cradle,
and repeatedly brought the weapon
down on the sleeping Infant! perfor
ating its skull as if with an awl. He
penetrated the child's ear several times.
Seeing the blood spurt, he fled to the
yard. Tne child's mother having heard
its screams, rushed back to the house to
find the infant saturated in blood and
dying. The boy murderer was found
sitting on the ground at the front Kate,
a picture of innocence, digging holes in
the ground with the bloody weapon.
He frankly confessed to the deed.
A DRESSMAKER'S TRICK.
Hired Women to Come Over on
Smuggling Trips.
Chicago, March 4'— A horsewhipping
here has led to a government investiga
tion into alleged wholesale smuggling of
imported dress goods. Yesterday C.
Wade, a young Englishman, soundly
castigated J. A. Cummings, manager of
Kate Reilly's fashionable dressmaking
establishment in this city, claiming that
Cummings had grossly insulted his wife,
who was employed in his place. He
also alleges that his wife and many
other young women were induced to
leave England by Kate Reilly's repre
sentatives, who . promised them
large salaries, and also induced
them to smuggle large quan
tities of wraps and Parisian robes,
which Mr. Wade claims was the only
object in bringing them over. He has
laia this [information before the author
ities, who have visited the place and
seized several robes,which,it is claimed,
Kate Reilly herself smuggled into this
country. They proposed to make an
inventory of all the goods in the place
and seize all that have not paid duty.
New Yobk, March 4.— A reporter
called at the establishment of Mrs.
Reifiy on Fifth avenue this morning,
but she was in London.' Her iepre
seutative, in the absence of Mr. Cum
mings, was the bookkeeper, a young
Englishman who declined to give his
name. He had heard, he said, of "the
little fracas" in Chicago, but what it
was all about he hadn't the least idea.
The charges by Mrs. Wade, who has
been Mrs. Reilly's representative in the
West for some months, were, as far as
he knew, totally false. _§S_|____f_il>l

JUBILANT DISCIPLES.
The Detroit Case Ends in Their
. Favor.
Detroit, March 4. —The habeas cor
pus proceedings instituted by Joseph
Richardson for the recovery of his child
came to a sudden end in court today
when the attorney for his wife, who had
joined an odd religious community and
taken the child with her, proposed that
the proceedings be dropped in order,
that husband ana wife be not further
estranged. Mrs. Richardson refuses to
.return to her husband or leave her new.
affiliations, and the long-haired brothers
of the new and latter house of Israel
are correspondingly jubilant. The
woman continues to have possession of
Tier daughter, for whose recovery the
. father was suing.
CARVED IN COURT.
A Convicted Negro Cuts His
Throat in the Dock.
Charleston, S. C, March. 4.— A;
unique and dramatic Incident occurred
in the court of sessions yesterday. Sam
Randall, a negro who has been tried'
three times for assaulting a negro girl,
and who escaped twice by mistrial, was
today convicted. After conviction Ran
dall was told to stand up and receive
sentence; which the coil. t- fixed at one;

judge was yet speaking Randall leaned;
down; whipped a knife out of his shoe
and deliberately cut his throat in the;
presence of the court officers and spec-'
tators. A couple of bailiffs grabbed;
him, and prompt surgical aid was pro-'
tred, which may save his life. -

A Bride Takes Her Own Life in
Despondency.
Chicago, March 4.— Kate Brown, a
wife of only five days, committed sui
cide here last night, shooting herself
with a revolver. Saturday last she was
married to one Miles Brown, and it is
said that despondency over the fact that
she did not marry a former lover named
Weis led to the suicide.
Boston, March 4.— Capt. David H.
Stembridge, commander of the British

Open the Debate on the
Pure Food Bill.
Washington, March 4.— Greek met
Greek in the house today, and for the
brief. space of five minutes a parlia
mentary colloquy was witnessed which,
in aptness of retort, has had no pre
cedent in the present session. On the
one side was Speaker Crisp; who stands
as the sponsor. of the rules of the Fifty
second congress, and on the other was
ex-Speaker Reed.who stands as the de
fender of the rules and methods of the
Fifty-first congress. As might naturally
be presumed, the vexed question of; "a
quorum" and the construction and legal
significance of this term was the sub
ject of the controversy, and each gen
tleman is tonight regarded by his par
ticular partisans as having been the
victor. _fl_fSg
Almost without warning was the ex
citing scene precipitated upon 7 the
house. The entire.day had been con
sumed in the desultory consideration of
unimportant private bills, and Mr. Kil
gore, of Texas, made a motion that the
house take a recess tili 8 o'clock this
evening. On a division the vote stood
85 to 84. Mr. Enloe demanded tellers,
and, they being refused, raised the
point that no quorvm had voted.
"The gentleman from Tennessee,"
said the speaker, "makes the point of
no quorum on the motion to take a re
cess. Tho chair will have to appoint
tellers." .'JH_____S
The Forgotten Autocrat.
"The gentleman does not make the
point of , no quorum." interposed. Mr.
Reed. "He makes the point that no quo
rum has voted.'* . "Under the rules of
the house and under the present admin
istration of the house." said the speak
er, "gentlemen are not present unless
they vote." , [Applause on the Demo
cratic side.J : ' - -■ . -..:. >
• "That shows; Mr. Speaker, that there =
has been a" new system adopted since
the last congress," was Mr. Reed's re
ply.-* "That shows that the present oc
cupant of the chair. will endeavor to en
force the rules of the house as they now
exist," retorted the speaker.
"Nevertheless, Mr. Speaker," quickly
replied the ex-speaker, "the observation
I made is entirely correct, namely, that
the point that the gentleman from Ten
nessee made was that no quorum' had
voted, while the speaker states that the
point he made was 'no quorum.' .'My
observation, notwithstanding that re
tort of the chair, was entirely correct."
"Perhaps it is,", said the speaker with
dignity, "but it is entirely out of order."
[Democratic applause]. ' _ ,
"It is entirely correct." persisted Mr.
Reed, "and therefore the chair has no
right to make such remarks." "The
gentleman was correct, but at the same
time he is out of order," observed the
speaker." [Demands for regular order.]
"1 was entirely in order when I called
the attention of the chair to the fact."
"The chair thinks'iiot."
"Entirely in order," persisted Mr.
Reed. "The chair thinks the gentle
man is entirely out of order," reiterated
the speaker. "There was no occasion
for any such reply." "The point was
made.not by the gentleman from Maine,
but by somebody else— the point of no
quorum. The chair entertained the
point, whereupon the gentleman from
Maine made the suggestion." - ' •" .-:■'
Stating the Difference.
"And thereupon," interposed Mr. '
Reed, "I said to the chair that the gen-:
tleman made the point that no quorum
had voted, and that the chair stated it
to be the point of no quorum, which is a ;
different proposition; and I had the,
right to call the attention of the chair to
that. The chair had no right to make
such a retort— even if he was supported
by disorderly applause from his side,
which he permitted."
"The chair will state that there is n o
distinction under the present rules of
the house between the point of no quo
rum and of no quorum voting. There
was a distinction between those two
points of no quorum and no quorum
present, as it was made under, the rules
of the last congress."
"I want to say," said Mr. Enloe, of
Tennessee, "that the speaker is abund
antly sustained by authorities in mak
ing retorts to the. gentlemen on the;
floor." [Laughter]. "The chair does
not intend to recognize that," replied
Mr; Crisp. . - .
During the colloquy between the
speaker and Mr. Reed, both gentlemen'
appeared to lose some, degree of their j
customary.equanimity and their retorts,
though couched in polite language, were'
characterized by earnestness and some!
degree of warmth. After the Crisp-'
Reed colloquy, the house took a recess
until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be
for the consideration of private- pension
bills, bills removing political disabili
ties and bills removing charges of de
sertion. _B__n_S& -
When the house reassembled at 8 p.
m. there was ; less than a quorum pres
ent. Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, raised the
point of no quorum, " and after a fruit
less attempt to secure one the house at
9:30 p. m. adjourned until tomorrow
without transacting any business what
ever. '3___BBHE-ri--Hfl-B_BBJB_nB
PURE FOOD BILL.
Senators Vest and Paddock on the
Skirmish Line.
Washington, Marck 4.— A reminder
of yesterday's vote on the : Idaho elec
tion case in the senate .was placed on
Mr. Dubois' desk in the form of a very
beautiful bunch of roses. The vice
president laid before the senate a com
munication from the " secretary of the
interior in relation the Yosemite : park,
in California. The communication was
referred . to the committee '{ on public
lands. Mr. Stanford introduced a bill
directing the purchase ot silver bullion,
and the. coinage thereof. ■■.-■■ Referred.
: The purelobu bill was then taken up,
and Mr. Vest stated at, some length his
'position, in regard to it, and to such leg
islation in* geueral. He was aware of
'the sentiment , worked up all ; over ' the
country in support of the pure food bill.
Granges, alliances and newspapers had
all demanded, by petition or otherwise;
the enactment* of such a bill: He be-,
lieved that : . the constitution :. of the
United States intended that inspection
and quarantine laws should be in the
hands of the stales. The penning meas
ure was one of tiiat brood of bills that,
grew out of the feeling of paternalism
which was spreading over the country;
The people of the United States were
being taught to go to congress;: for
everything— from a million acres of
land to' a; paper of pins. ; They
were rapidly having their constitutional
power taken away from them ; ;; and
power was being vested in congress to
day which had been : intended by the
framer- of the constitution to be , : left to
the states exclusively. He was: puoud
tosav that he believed in the ' constitu
tion as construed by. the. supreme court
of the' United ' States . and -. did not be
lieve such; legislation as was pro*
of sed in the pending measure. He be
lieved that that measure was a prostitu
tion of the commerce clause of the con
stitution in regard to the exercise of the
police powers of the state, and for that
reason he would cheerfully cast bis vote •
against it. * '-.'
Mr. Paddock denied the statement
made several days ago that the bill was
aimed particularly at the cottonseed oil
interest. He defied any one to point to
one provision, line or word in the bill 1
that discriminated against any honest
and honestly branded article of food in
favor of any other such article. As to
the extravagant criticism that the bill
would be used for imaginary political
purposes, it was a serious matter (ho
said) to charge, even indirectly, that
those who were engaged in the formu
lation and presentation of the bill ami'
the great body: of the people who hon
estly demanded its assage, -were moved
chiefly by a desire to : inaugur
ate a cheap, hasty, political
scheme for partisan uses. If the
bill was of the character described
all who were instrumental' in ; pro
moting it must have been moved by
partisan motives. Such was.the lo_i_al
conclusion of the assertion. No other
was possible. . It was a reflection, there
fore, on state legislatures,' boards :of
trade, great commercial associations,'
farmers' alliances, granges and thou
sands of other honored citizens all over
the country who had indorsed the
measure and agreed to its passage. That
was not the kind of argument which
would satisfy the country that the sen
ators who made it were themselves
moved by other than political or selfisn
motives, In. conclusion he appealed.to
the senate to help enact the bill into a
law.
. Eulogies were then ( delivered in re
spect to the memory of the late Kepre-'
sentative Lee, of Virginia, and the
senate adjourned till Monday.

SALISBURY'S SUBSTITUTE. 7
Last Year's Modus Vivendi Not to
Be Renewed. : '
Washington, March 4.— The fact was
developed today that the authorities had'
received notice that Lord Salisbury was
unwilling, while the arbitration pro
ceedings in the Behring sea dispute are 1
pending, to renew the modus vivendi of
last year. He is said to be willing,
however, to take the necessary steps for
putting a stop, during 'the approaching
season, to miscellaneous deep sea seal
fishing within thirty miles of the Pnby
loff islands. It was impossible to learn
at the state department the precise nat
ure of the substitute proposed by. Lord 1
Salisbury. It is probable that this in-'
formation received from London caused
President Harrison to shorten his stay
at Virginia Beach, and that he will re
turn to Washington Saturday, instead
of Monday, of he had contemplated.
is therefore lidely that the treaty of ar
bitration will be submitted to the senate:
early next week, possibly Monday. ?
The course of the negotiations is being:
closely watched by the members of the
committee of the senate and house hav
ing to do with foreign relations. . The)
members of the congressional commit-;
tee do .not disguise their belief in pri
vate that unless the British government'
shows a disposition to join in the work
of protecting the waters of Behring
sea from the poachers during the' prog- j
ress of the arbitration the United States
government must undertake the task
and execute the law which lias nocjaeen;
repealed, requiring it to protect the seal
fisheries. If this course is followed the 5
situation will : assume a phase .very :
similar to that preceding the readoption
of the modus vivendi last year, and the
. government will' , resume the policy of '
; seizure of offending; vessels,' which may
lead to energetic protests and perhaps
retaliatory action by Great Britain. ;
The joint commission on the Behring
sea fisheries held its final session at the
state department this afternoon; After
signing a joint report, embodying a
statement of fac*.s as to* all points con- ,
nected with the : sealing industry on
which there is no dispute, the commis
sion adjourned sine die. ' '."* ' ■"'■"-;'-*• -' '

DEFENSE OF IRELAND,
St Paul's Archbishop Given an
Official Indorsement by
Pope Leo.
An Inspired Letter Causes a
Sensation in European
. Church Circles.
The Distinguished American
Prelate Sure to Wear a
Cardinal's Hat.
Idleness and Famine Are
Breeding Revolution and
Anarchy.
: Rome, Mardi 4.— A sensation has been
created in church circles by the publica
tion today in theMoniteur di Roma of an
article, four columns in length, direct
from the -Vatican, headed "Monsignou'r
Ireland and Calumniators." It is known
that the article is intended for an an
swer, on behalf of the pope, to the at
tacks upon Archbishop Ireland, of St.
Paul, which have followed that prelate
from America on his visit to Rome.
:' The archbishop has been received with
the greatest favor by the pope, who is
said to be charmed with his visitor, and
seriously meditates making him card.- 1
nal of the United States. The assaults
upon Archbishop Ireland appear to have
originated in a difference of views as to
his school policy, and to have become
more acrid owing to the divergence
between the American archbish
ops,- with Ireland as their secre
tary^ and the lay committee appointed
in' connection with the proposed Cath
olic church congress at the world's
fair. It was claimed that Archbishop
Ireland was strenuous in his opposition
Ito discussion by the congress of church
{matters,', and especially of education,
and the reason suggested was that he
| did not wish his own educational meth
ods made the subject of review. The
; influences arising from these and .{
Other Antagonisms .
,' have militated against Archbishop Ire
land since his arrival in Rome, but ap
parently without . the slightest effect
upon his standing at the Vatican, as the
article in the Moniteur, inspired, if not
dictated by • the pope, goes to prove.
The article professes to be an official
and plenary defense, .of the archbishop
against his. adversaries, American, Ital
ian and German, and to be intended to
silence, once for all, says the article,
the passionate and contradictory attack.:
which have for some time | been coming .
to Rome, in a•; stormy from vari
ous countries; upon the great American

GERMANY'S DANGER.
Unemployed Men Form Mobs and
r^'v'-'T ' "-'*'. Seize Food. •
" Berlin, March 4.— Since : the disturb
ances of last week in this city, the unem
-*pjoyed. w-orkingmen . throughout ■ Ger
many have been in a state of ferment
that would require but little to cause an
open outbreak. There is no deriving the
fact that' the condition of mechanics and
unskilled laborers has reached such a
state that the hungry men are capable;
of doing most anything to get ; food.for '
themselves and those , dependent upon \
tjem. With this state of affairs prevail-
Tug,- promises of . help in the - future "do
riot teud to make* the unemployed con
tent to suffer their present evils, and an
outbreak therefore causes no great sur
prise:"**gga___aqp^j__<fl^B--B----M---B-P
A few months ago the unemployed of
Dantzic petitioned the. authorities to
furnish them with labor, no matter
what it was, to keep themselves and
their families from starving. Dantzic.
which is the capital of the province of
West Prussia, is a commercial center of
no little importance. It . has numerous
breweries, distilleries, flour mills, sugar
refineries and other works, all of which
have felt the depression in the commer
cial world, with the consequent i.s.ilt
that many of the employes have been
laid off to. await the arrival of better
times. In addition to these men a large
number of others— carpenters, masons,
painters,* etc.— are out of work because
of the depression in the building and
allied trades, and consequently there
has been during the winter much suffer
ing among all classes of workmen.
There seems to be no immediate pros
pect of an improvement, and . the pa
tience of the - men seems to have about
reached the limit of its endurance.
When the deputation of .' the unem
ployed recently waited upon the author
ities, they received a promise that
something would be done for them and
today; in obedience to a notice. 800 men
proceeded to the landing stage in the
expectation that they would be con
veyed to the municipal sewage farm
and tut to work. When they arrived
there, the officials picked out 220 men to
be taken to the farms, anil said that
they were unable to furnish work for
the others. Those who were refused
employment were . bitter in their ; de
nunciation of the trick, as they termed
it, that had been played upon them.
Some of the men constituted themselves
leaders and made violent speeches, call
ing upon the crowd to help themselves
to food if the authorities would not fur
nish them with the means of getting it.
The impassioned words of the speak
ers ana the presence of the crowd itself
attracted a large number of the lower
classes of the city and the impromptu
meeting soon degenerated into a mob.
The excitement grew by what it fed
upon and the suggestion that food was
plenty in ; the shops was seized upon
with avidity. The mob left the vicinity
of the landing stage and in a compact
mass rushed through the streets, hurl
ing imprecations at the authorities and
declaring that they would steal before
they would starve. Every baker's shop
they came across they looted, and some
of the gaunt, pale-faced men could be
seen devouring the spoils in a manner
which showed that they had not tasted
food for a long time. Others placed the
bread they had seized under their coats
with intention of carrying it to their
wives and children/Loaded butchers'
carts passing along the streets were
seized upon, their drivers hustled away
and their contents hastily divided among
the crowd. ' <*,
The mob was constantly gaining fresh
accessions, and the riot was assuming
formidable proportions before the police
awoke to the fact that they must be up
and doing if they hoped to successfully
cope with the rioters." Detachments of
police were hastily sent to that part of
the city. in which the ; rioting and the
pillaging was* going on. After a strug
gle with the rioters, who were inflated
with' their 'successes; and resisted the
police, the'; latter, made - ; a determined
charge and succeeded 'in. dispersing the
"mob:; There is still much .excitement
among • the -workingmen, arid it would
not be iii. the least surprising should
further and more serious trouble occur.'.
"The, news j from Dantzic has had a very
disquieting - effect here,— and the
affair is eagerly discussed in official
circles and by the workingmen. .It is
taken to give further proof, if any k were
needed, of the bad state of affairs that
exists throughout the country. A later
dispatch' say .that, after the speakers
had addressed the disappointed work
ingmen, a majority -of the latter, with-;'
: out heeding the appeals to right their
own wrongs, returned to their' homes.
Those who did the rioting aud pillaging
were, as in the case of the Berlin riot,
not genuine workingmen, but dock rats
and other loafers, who were never
known to do ah honest day's work. '*
-That, there is extreme suffering
among the workingmen is evident to
every one, but they are : submitting, to
the inevitable with as much patience as
possible and there is no reason why
the responsibility" for the acts of the
lawless elements of the city should be
placed on; their shoulders, as seems to
be done every time an outbreak occurs.
RADICALS ALERT.
French . Police Narrowly Escape
Being Blown Up.
.. Parts, March 4.— The efforts of the
anarchists to create a feeling of panic
among all classes of society which have
incurred; their 'displeasure ■'-, continue. 1
Since the explosion in the doorway' of
;the residence of trie Princess de Sagan
; Monday last, trie; police have been un
tiring in their . efforts to discover trie
perpetrators of ' that outrage, but they
have been baffled and are no wiser now
than they, were on the day of
the explosion. As ' if "" to show
their contempt - for the police.:
the anarchists have ;teansferred their
activity to the quarters occupied by
them. : Four. miles north of Paris is the
village of Saint-Quen-sur-Seine, which
has a population of 11,000 people. Con
siderable'consternation was created in
the gendarmerie there this morning
by the discovery of 'two dynamite cart-,
ridges which had been placed in the
doorway of that building. It had been
raining during the early morning hours,
and to this fact may be attributed the
averting of ajdisastrous explosion. The
fuses of the cartridges had been ignited,
but the rain extinguished them. The;
cartridges ;■ were powerful enough to
have blown the whole police barracks to
atoms.
SHOCKING DISTRESS.
Hundreds of Famishing People in
Vienna Cellars.
London, March 4.— A special agent,
who is inquiring into the distress in Vi
enna, paints a terrible picture of the
destitution that prevails in that city.;
There are many houses, he says, whose
splendid exteriors give no indication of,
their' miserable interiors. Cellars in;
such, houses, he affirms, are ■■■". found
crowded with starving persons who are
out of work and others who are earning
only a 'mere pittance. Hundreds are
unable to ', pay . rent and exist. in daily
fear of eviction. But, in spite of all'
this misery, there is a total absence of
evidence of vice among the sufferers.

Duluth, March 4.— The iron excite
ment shows no indications of calming
down, but, on the contrary, it is increas
ing. A large number of Cincinnati"
people went up on the Mesaba range
yesterday, and came back in ecstasies
over what they saw. The stocks today
have strengthened somewhat, especially
Charleston! The telegram received yes
terday by A. E. Humphreys, staling
that a fine quality of ore had been dis
covered eight feet below the surface on
the northern part, of the Charleston
property gave those stocks quite a lift,
prices going up from 11 to 12'_. Today
Charleston was wanted badly at l.. 1 ..,
and some are offering 13. Hold
ers do not appear, however, very
anxious to sell. Considerable ore is
being found on the east side of the
Iron Range road, overtowards the Ver
million range. The McKinleys. Hale
and Humphrey hare been making ex
tensive developments. The Stowell
Iron company owns fourteen valuable
forties in that neighborhood, and im
portant news is expected from there
daily. The Duluth Iron and Mining
exchange has changed its name to the
Duluth Stock exchange, and made a
slight change in its officers, retaining
W.E. Richardson as president, and I.

Kinley was elected vice president. Al
ready a large number of members.about

THREE BIG MISTAKES
Made by a Non-Partisan Conven
tion at Northfleld.
Special to the Globe.
Northfield, Minn., March 4.— lt is
doubtful if a city ever found itself in a
like predicament with that in which
North-eld finds itself. The city elec
tion is set tor next Tuesday, but it is
now found that the candidates for of
fices, nominated at a citizens' non-parti
san caucus last week, were illegally,
made, and that, therefore, even ,it the
candidates were, elected next Tuesday,
they could not legally perform the func
tions of their offices. The law provides,
that nominations must be made by a
political party representing at least 1
per cent of the voters of the political
district, or ; trie certificates of nomina
tion must be signed and attested by at
least the above number, of voters. The
caucus which was held styled itself the
Non-Partisan party, therefore, it was no
political organization— making mistake
■No; 1. Then again, the new , Aus
tralian law provides,, that; each: certifi
cate of nomination must be sworn to by
the presiding officers of the convention;
and neither was this done; In the third
; place, the law states that sample ballots
must be. placed on examination at least
seven days before election, and this also
was neglected. J * ;
