(., April 2.—As (foretold in these dispatches to the! Times, Webster Dav stant sec- retary of the interior, will shortly {retire from official life to go upon the lecture platform to plead the cause of the Boers of South Africa. Today, aiter having completed ar- Jrangements for an extensive lecture tour at a compensation said to be in excess of his salary as an official of the republican administration, Mr. Davis prepared this statement, which hegave to the public through the ‘medium of his secretary, Frank Hum- mer: to “Webster Davis will to-day tender jhis resignation to the president as assistant secretary of the interic UMr. Davis is impelled to take this asthe result of his recent visit #toSouth Africa, and will avail, him- elfof an opportunity to deliver a blic address in this city on the sub- et of the war between Great Britain andthe African republics. He feels # that he can best serve the purpose of using American sympathy for the P rs by relieving himself of the re- Betraint which his position asassistant @eecretary of the interior would impose Upon him, and has therefore decided Deed of a Maniac.

He had made a written statement before the shooting to the effect that he intend- ed to murder every one in the house and then kill himself. This he hand- ed to his sister after he had shot Dr. Shaw andintervention had prevented him from carrying out his original plan. In his revolver he had six cartridges. There were six persons in the house. In his statement McKimm said: “TI intend to kill youall and then kill myself.”’ The only reason given for the mur- der of Dr. Shaw is that MeckKimm is insane. Murder Settlement. ernment has “settled’’ the contro- versy arising out of the murder on December 3 last of the Reverend Mr. Brooks of the Chureh Missionary Society on the following terms: < Two of the murderers will be be- for ten years, another for two years, a memorial chapel will be erected upon the site of the murder anda tablet be placed in Canterbury Cathe- dral, England. at the expense of the Chinese government. Reverend Mr. Brooksat the time of his murder was stationed at Ping- Yin, in the province of Shan-Tung: He was captured in that vicinity and killed by members of the seditious society known as “Boxers,” who had been very active in destroying vil- lages and slaughtering native chris- tians. The governor of the province had dispatched a force of cavalry to the scene of disturbance, but the soldiers arrived too late to save the life of Mr. Brooks. McKinley, Recognizes Taylor.

Salmon suggests that ar- rangements be made for him to speak from a stand located at the Junction. “There are tens of thousands of peo- ple,’ says the Major, “who can not hope to get a convention seat and who will be glad togoto Kansas City if they can see and hear Mr. Bryan. Those who are disappointed in getting into the convention will go away satisfied if they can hear the nominee. The Junction isa natural amphi- theater. Its equal forsucha purpose exists nowhere else in the United States. The arrangements commit- tee should consider this important matter, and if itcan be announced at this location it will prove a great attraction and will also prove of party benefit. Such an arrangement may justify. Shot His Employer's Wife. Spokane, Wash., March 30.—Geo the murder of Mrs. Lise C. Aspland | night of May 7, 1897. been engaged as a familiarity with her.

Avowals are frankly made that at least one-third of the delegates to the Kansas City conven- tion will go uninstructed and that these will beemployed either to defeat the Nebraskan or compel him to al- ter his stand on the 16 to 1 proposi- tion. “The fact that Arthur Pue Gorman and ex-Senator David B. Hill are re- entering the arena is adding to the distress of the democratic managers who are anxious for the renomina- tion of Bryan. Gorman’s claims of fealty are looked upon with some sus- picion, and recent advices from New York that David B. Hill, the uncom- promising foe of the Chicago plat- form, may go at the head of the New York delegation to the democratie convention gives distinct color to the belief that Bryan will have, at the least, a strong faction to contend with.” The foregoing I take from the Even- ing Times-Herald, Kohlsaat republi- can, by some called the ‘‘Post.” The conspiracy against Bryan, with the republican and a percentage of the democratic press, is a political “Banquo’s ghost.”” Hill is not con- spiring, nor is Gorman, if the word of either Hill or Gorman isto be taken as truth; yet neither the abili- ty of the one, able as he is, or the craft of the other, farseeing and sa- gacious as he is, would avail to stem the tide of the purpose of the demo- cratic rank and file that Bryan, and only Bryan, shall lead. And why this steadfast clinging to Bryan, you ask? The answer is easy enough. It is because of belief universal that the man “rings true ;” that he is honest; that he will do, as plain duty, that which he says he will do, that which he thinks is right: that he will stand fast, in letter and spirit, in word and in deed, for that to which his faith is given. The hostile may ominously threat- en, ingenious reporters may create, editors-in-chief may theorize, politi- cians may conspire for their goddess expediency, and yet, yet as sure as the tide, the people are with Bryan and they will compel. Representatives of the German- American newspapers of many states notably of Michigan, Wisconsin, In- diana, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota, Ne- braska, Missouri and Illinois, have H formulated plans forthe organization | (there will be no necessity for educa- tion) of the German-American vote for crusade against the Mckinley trust-imperialistie regime.
