yy MURDER OR SUICIDE PECULIAR TRAGEDY NEAR RUSH CITY. MINN, A Farmer Found Dead With a Noosed Rope Near the Body—He Probably Took Poison and In- tended to Hang Himself—Mem- ber of the Family Under Surveil- lance, as There Had Beeen a Quarrel, Rush City, Minn., June 9. — John Buhule, a well-to-do German farmer living three miles southwest of town, was found dead in the woods near his home to-day, with a rope near by with noose at the end. Kuhule and his wife had quarreled for years. Early this morning, it is claimed, he made an attempt to shoot his wife with a revolver, but a son wrested that weap- on from him. The encounter ended in Kuhule going into the woods, where his body was found. Dr, J. E. Gem- mel, coroner, assisted by Dr. A. J. Stowe, made a post mortem examina- tion of the body, and found no evi- dence of violence. The stomach will be sent to the state chemist for the unraveling of the mystery. A coro- ner’s jw has been impanelled and will inquire into the case to-morrow. Meanwhile a son and nephew of the deceased and C. Noller are held as witnesses and the family kept under surveillance. A letter was found on the person of Kuhule which made me startling disclosures about fam- " matters, indicated where he want- ed to be buried, and states that he had money in the bank here. Property was the cause of numerous quarrels between him and his wife, and but a few months ago he was arrested at the instance of his wife, while some years ago she had him arrested charged with insanity. He seems to have been very jealous of her. The supposition is that he took poison, and before he could perform the rest of his plot tthe former took effect. S FOR M LAND PL. ESOTA. Surveyors Will Work on Red Lake and Other Reservations. St. Paul, June 9.—Judge S. W, Lam- oreux, commissioner of the general land office, arrived in the city yester- day morning and departed over the Northern Pacific for Western points in the afternoon. Judge Lamoreux is accompanied on the journey, which will be an extended one, by Mrs. Lamoreux, his two children, Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Webb of New York, T. T. Britton and family of Washing- ton and I. B. Lamoreux of Stevens Point, V Commissioner Lamoreux said: “We go direct to the Yellow- stone, first stopping at Livingston. Then we shall visit Montana, Wash- ington, Idaho, Oregon and California. The primary object is to see all of the surveyor general in the Western te} ‘Y, Where we have much un- finished work. It is my intention to close the work of the land office as nearly as possible before the expira- tion of my term of office. We have now $40,000 for the work in Minne- sota. I hope, however, before con- gress adjourns to have this amount increased to $50,000. You understand that there remains nothing for the surveyors outside the Red Lake res- ervation. By this I mean, also, all of the smaller tracts or reservations, in- cluded in the Nelson act, which come under the general head of ‘Red Lake surveys.’ There are now no applica- tions coming in from actual settlers to have surveys made. The appropria- tion made for Minnesota applies to the office work and examiners. It is my intention to have the work upon the Red Lake reservation begin about July 1 and be pushed forward as rap- idly as possible.” HEAVY RAINS. The Northwestern States Are Well Watered.

Silver Men Expect to Get One They Can Stand Upon, St. Louis, June 9.— P. H. Lannen, editor of the Salt Lake Tribune,arrived today in company with National Committeeman Salisbury of Utah. Both of them are for free silver and will advocate aplank of that character for the platform. “It would be folly for any one man to say what the convention will do on the mcney question,” said Mr. Lannen to a representative of the Associated Press “But I am confident that it will not declare for a single gold standard. Neither do I think the platform will declare for free silver. I am not pret- ending to say what the convention will or will not do, but it is my honest opinion that the money plank will be of a character that the free silver men of the party can stand on.” Mr. De Young and Mr. Salisbury, who were both present while Mr. Lan- nen was talking, concurred in what he said. Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, is here and favors a single gold platform. GALLANTRY REWARDED. Emperor of China Gives Testimonial to American Sailors. San Francisco, June 9.—The emperor of China has testified his appreciation of the gallantry shown by the blue-jackets of the American warships in rescuing persons in the recent terrible disaster resulting from a collision between the steamers Onwa and New Chwang, by presenting to the captain of each of Uncle Sam’s cruisers in Asiatic waters an elaborately engraved and highly complimentary testimonial. ‘The part taken by the American sailor lads in this disastrous affair, which sent over three hundred human beings to death, is given indetail by Harry Walsh, one of the crew of the Boston, in a letter to his mother who resides in this city. According to Walsh the blue jackets of the cruiser Olympia did the most effective work in life-safing as she was riding at anchor within a thousand yards of the scene of the collision. OPEN WITH PRAYER. Archbishop Kain May Be Asked to Officiate at the Convention. St. Louis, June 9.—Globe Democrat (rep.)prints the following this morning The suggestion has been made inform- ally to members of the republican nat- ional committee, that Archbishop Kain be invited to offer the prayer at the opening of the convention. It is custom- ary to have a prayer at the opening of each day‘s proceedings. Represent- atives of different denominations are selected. The argument that is being used with national committeemen is that the archbishop is the head of the Catholic church for a large section of the country; that this is his home, and that it would be a graceful thing for the representatives of the republican party todo Mounte: ythi Sioux City, Ta.

Washington, Special, June %—The ap- pointment of Axel S. Ellis as postmaster at Sioux Falls, sent to the senate to-day, adds a new complication to the long fight over that office The office is at present held by A. D. Timsley. who is acting under a re- cess commis It wih be remembered that Mr. T y was first named for this office in the winter of 1894. Senator Pet- tigrew claimed that courtesy demanded that he be allowed something to say about the postmaster in his own city W. S. Bissell was then postmaster general, and he main- tained that Senator Pettigrew had said the appointment of. Tfusley would be satisfac- tory to him. This statement Senator Pettigrew denied, and the question of veracity between the senator ani the postmaster general was squarely raised &ettigrew succeeded in preventing Tinsley'’s confirmation during the Jong session of the last congre: in spite of Senator Kyle's efforts to secure confirm- ation. After the adjournment of that ses- sion, Tinsley g.ven a recess appoint- ment and took poss on of the office.

Minneapolis, June 6.—Too much rain has again fallen in the northernmost counties of the Red River Valley, still further retarding seeding. Considera- ble complaint is also heard of that pre- vionsly sown being drowned out in many places, by the overflowing of streams. The week, however, was more favorable than the preceding one, aud some advancement has been made with seeding, which is most marked in Polk, Norman and Clay counties. Heavy rains have fallen in the south- east corner of the state, but they were rapidly absorbed by the soil and did no harm. Wheat is stooling nicely, but is mak- ing no upward. growth, except on the high and drier lands. On the low lands all vegetation has beer almost at a stand-still during the week, except grasses, which are now almost as tall as when cut a year ago. The grain is turning yellow in places, and warmer, sunny weather is now needed for its best advancement. Corn is nearly all planted but is germinating slowly, and but little is up sufficiently to receive its first cultivation. The growth of garden truck is also slow, and potatoes, jike corn, is suftering from lack of jwarmth and sunshine. The condition of ruit, except plums, has improved during the week. Plums have dropped Dadly, and considerable complaint is made of blight. Cut worms, chinch bugs and potato bugs and gophers are erported as doing damage in a number of places, but no more so than usual at this time of year. Clover is in bloom and strawberries are ripening in the southern part of the states. The weeds are getting a good start on the corn and wheat fields, and more complaint is made regarding them than from any other one damaging feature. FREE SILVER ITORS.

Sue for Augsburg. St. Paul, June 5.—What is known as the “majority” of the United Norwe- gian Lutheran church of the Augsburg conference met at the First Swedish Lutheran church, at St. Paul, this morning in its seventh annual session. Very early there were ominous signs of the fight over the Augsburg semi- nary, despite the fact that as yet little business other than of a preliminary nature has been performed.

Mr. Chamberlain was accompanied by a number of notable colinists and agents general, including Sir Henry Broughom Loch, Lord Knutsford, the earl of Jersey, Sir George Baden-Pow- ell and many others. Mr. Chamber- lain was enthusiasticaly cheered as he officially welcomed the delegates. Among other things he said he was rejoiced at every fresh indication of the essential unity of the empire, upon which was founded all their hopes. The omens, he added, were never more favorable and he trusted their deliberations would result in an ad- vance towards the goal to which all patriotic aspirations tended. Continuing Mr. Chamberlain remark- ed:- “The existence of this congress is evidence that we have to a great extent annihilated space and that further knowledge must tend to a complete a- greement between the colonies and the mother country. The same note for clo- ser union rings in all the resolutions but all the proposals are dwarfed into insignificance in comparison with the proposals to secure the commercial un- ion of the empire. Such a commercial union will neces- sitate a council of the empire, to which will be remitted all question of commercial law in which the whole empire is interested.’~ DISCOUNT sUDLEIGH SURE. A Pretty Actress Says the Heir to an Earldom Made Too Ardent Love LONDON, June 9.---Viscount Sudleigh, heir to the earldom of Arran, is the defe- ndant in a suit for £5,000 damages instit- uted by Mary Stuart Smith, otherwise May Gore, trial of which was begun to day before the chief justice, Baron Russell of Kilowen, and a special jury. The viscount who is a lieutenant in the Royal Horse Gvards, it is alleged by counsel for the pla- intiff, met Miss Smith at the house of. her sister, the wife of one of theminor nobility. the plaintiff succumbed to the viscount’sbeguilements soon after making his acquaintance and went to live under his protection. ‘Through family influences the intimacy was broken off, and the pla- intiff accepted the sum of £500 in lieu of all claims against Viscount Sudleigh. Later she lived under the protection of Hon. Alfred Stourton, heir presumptive to the barony of Mowry, Segrave and Stouton and subsequently, the plaintif left Lieut. Stourton and entered into an engagement to go to the United States as a lancer. in New York, she appeared in the play “Little Christopher” at the Garden theatre under the name of Stewart.

Washington, June 9.—When the house re- convened this morning the legislative day of Saturday was still in existence. There was a fair attendance of Republicans, but the Democratic benches were a barren waste. Less than half a dozen of the mi- nority were on the flcor. This refusal on the part of the Democrats to attend the session grew out of the determination of the majority to consider the contested elec- tion case of Aldrich versus Underwood. In order to break the deadlock which con- fronted the majority a call of the house was ordered. The doors were closed and the sergeant-at-arms was directed to bring in absentees. The Tucker rule adopted at the beginning of the session was invoked for the first time. It compelled members brought in by the sergeant-at-arms to vote on the pending question. The speaker counted four members as present but not voting. When the time for debate expired, Mr. Owens (Dem., Ky.) moved to recommit the case.The motion was lost—67 to 93. The vote was then taken on the first resolution declaring Mr. Underwood not entitled to the seat. The resolution was adopted—119 to 98. The resolution declaring tled to the seat was adopte Mr. Cannon presented the confe port on the sundry civii bill. It a all the items in dispute except the public building amendments. The final report-on the naval appropriation bill was presented by Mr. Boutell and agreed to without di- vision. The final report on the Indjan ap- propriation bill was also agreed to without division. The members cheered tumultu- ouhly as these repo’ts were adopted. A partial conference report on the Dis- trict of Columbia bill was presented and adopted. The report left the electric light- ing question and public charities still epen. It is believed that congress will adjouri to-morrow, but if not, then, not later than the following day. The senate agreed, to the reports on the naval and Indian bilis and disagreed on the District of Columbia bill. The naval report was for three battleships and no armor contracts until congress fixes the price next session. The Indian report permits sectarian appropriations till July 1, 1897. In the conference report on the bill a change was made in the declaration of policy concerning schools. The word “Indians”? was omitted so that the dec- laration was broadened. It now reads: “It is hereby declared to be the settled policy of the government to hereafter make no appropriation whatever for education in any sectarian school.” The provision ex- tending the school appropriations to July 1, 1897, was amended by a provision that the amount shall be apportioned as nearly as may be among schools of various denom- inations.
