3 ™ sented on this floor. by DEMOCRATS CANNOT AGREE Rules for the New COongress the Rook Upon Which They Split, THEY ATTACK THE PROPOSED NEW CODE All 15 Not Lovellness in the Democratie Household—A Caucus Decree Neoe esary (o Enfo Ity—Other Proceedings in the House, Wasnixatox, D. C., Jan. 20.—Tne demo- orats of the house of representatives have found it necessary to appeal to a caucus de- cree in order to ascure unity of action in the adoption of'rules for the government of the proccedings of the house. It is a matter of 'some significance that the subject of dissen- 8100 in the democratic ranks is that clause of the proposed code which enables the commit- tee on rules atany time to call up for con- sideration a roport of that committee, and preventing dilatory motions being made pending such consideration, To give the speaker power to recognize and to prevent dilatory motions at such particular time, and not clothe him with like power at all other times seems to many domocratic mombers a great discrimination In favor of the committee of which the speaker is ex-officlo chairman and whose de- liberations he naturally directs, and the pro- posed rule was most bitterly attacked by various members of the dominant party. So slittle, however, was attention' paid to . Party lines during tho debato that one of the / strongest supporters of the rule was Hon. James Buchanan, the well known republican representative from New Jor: Conslderation of the Rules, ‘The Liouse this morning proceeded to the further consideration of the report of the committee on rules pending an amendment withdrawing from the jurisdiction of the ap- propriations committee appropriatious for the support of the District of Columbia. After considerablo devate the amenament was rejocted and an_amendment was also re- jocted to take from the committes on rivers and harbors Jurisalction over the appropria- tions for the improvement of the Mississippl river. 1n speaking toan informal amendment Mr. Morse of Massachusetts turned his attention to Massachusetts politics. ‘T'hat state was reprosented in tho house toduy by five re- publicans and soven democrats, The demo- fc members were ail gentiemen of high character and ability. Massachusetts sent no other men here, [Laughter.] He had not a word to sn{ against any of these gen- tiemen, but truth compellea him to say that Massachusotts was ay present misrepre- Governor Russell had I been “re-elected for three roasons—first, his personal popularity; second, the prohibition Vote; third, because he denied on the stump overy democratic doctrine. Mr. Butler of Iowa Gets Funny, Mr. Butler of [owa sald that there was a circus fu town. The grand royal combina- tian, the great_and only monopolistic aggre- gation, the allied union of protective oper tives had sounded its fish horn, declaring ts grand opening with more pharisees to the dozen than ever sent forth their praises in 1he stréets of the old Jerusalem--{laughter]— und such men to spoak about the duties of true statesmanship! The republicans claim that they alone were patriots, whon their every act of legislation relative to foreign countries had been an insult to the American flag. They had compared our country with ether nations, and, for shame, had declared our inability to compete with them in ordi- nary affairs of life. Mr. De Forest of Connecticut inveighed against the rules of the last congress and the aecisions made under them and approved the proposed code. Brnncmn% off toa short discussion of the silver question he declared that if a free coinage bill was passed by this congress it would not go out with the stamp of endorsement of the democratic party upon 1t. Seemed to Be a Misunderstanding. , M. Dingley of Maine said that the gentlo- man from Illinois, Mr, Springer, in a speech delivered in New York had declared that this bouse would not pass a free silver bill He also understood that the gentleman from Prlexas, Mr. Lanham, had withdrawn his amendment giving thé committes on coinage, olghts and medsures leave to report at any time, on the assuranco of the gentleman of Missouri, Bland, that it was unnecessary. There seomed to 'be some misunderstanding somewhere and he wished to call the atten- tion of the gentleman from Illinois to the matte: Mr. Springer—1 did not make the state- ment that this house would not pass a free cojuago bill, r. Dingley—I understood the gentleman to be so reported. Will the gentleman please stato what he did say! Mr. Springer—I said that a free coinage bill would not become s law because your president would veto it. Hooker of Mississinpl moved tostrike from the rules the provision making it always in order to call up for consideration a report from the committee on rules and prevent dilatory motions being made pending such considoration. Springer of Illinols earnestly opposed the motion and gave bis hearty approval to the sule reported by the committee ou rules. His Malden Talk, Mr. Balley of Texas, the youngest member f the house and who eame to Washington with quite a reputation for oratory, then took the floor and he fully justified that reputation. His remarks were directea to an advocacy of Mr. Hooker's motion. Ho opposed the rule as reportod, because it was an essontial departure from the traditions of ihe democratic party—a departure which he was unwilling to see becouie alaw of the house except over his respectful protest. Chipman of Michigan opposed the rule, which he contended wus following & bad lent, P Ealoe of Tennesseo preforred the business of the house should be regulated by a com- mittee on order of business, but if that coula nol be done he was in favor of the proposed rule. . Buchanan of New Jeorsey advocated the rulo as an enlargement of the liberty of rep- resentatives and not a contraction thereof. Favored the Filibuster, Breckinridge of Kentucky thought that all talk about the filibuster amounted to nothing but & scarecrow. As arule, the filibuster was a first rate fellow. Fiftoon years ago he had prevented the force bill from being put upon the south, |This allusion to Mr, Ran- dall was greeted with applause.| The fili- buster had defeated the education bill, It WAS 10t true that the filibuster was entively tobecut. It was well sometimes to be on good terms with him. Mr. Oates offered an amendment providing for the appointment of a committee on order of business to vonsist of fifteen members (ten democrats and five opposition;, which shoula have leave to report at any time, and of which the speaker should be ex-ofcio cobairman. After further debate, but without action, the bouse adjourned until tomorrow. During the debato on the contested rule several of the democratic leaders bad held an informal conference aud discussed the wis- dom of calling a party caucus to securs unity of action among tho democratic members, It was finally deciaed that such a course was imperative, and immediately after adjourn- ment the cuucus was aunounced for tomor- row oveniug at 7:90, ———e The Death Roil, New Yok, Jan, 20.—General Henry A.

Sourn Bexp, Ind,, Jau, 20.—Mrs. Edwin Dodd of this city has just returned from San- tiago, Uhili, where she has been the last year, during which time she met with somo thrilling experiences. She was there during the Balmaceaa troubles and has much to say in reference to them. She was in Santingo toaching in a loading college at the time of the disturbances and say many dangerous and pecaliar situations. “The atwtitnde of the country toward the United States is one of extremo hatred,” said she. ‘“I'te poople are far benind the times. I found Santiago society in an ex- tremely demoralized state, The city con- tains about 200,000 inhavitants and is one of the wickedest places on the globe. Statis- tics show it has more gambling dens than any city in the world. Balmaceda wasa man of progressive ideas and instituted many reforms, which caused the opposition to inaugurate the rebellion whreh resulted in his overthrow. After the trouble no one was allowed on the stroets after dark with- out a pass, The belis were ordared silent 1n case of fire, as their ringing might excite the people, consequently there were many de- vastating conflagrations. Noone was allowed to wear anything of a red color, as that was the color of the rebels. “Ono evening we were walking on the streots, when suddenly around the corner appeared a troop of soldiers, followed by & mob of greasy, dirty natives, looking more like savages than civilized beings. In a moment’s time, it seems, the streets wore filled with ople and the air rang with shouts of ‘Vive l'opposition.” Guns were fired and red bunting appeared everywhere. Women rushed to the stores and bought everything in the dry gooas line that nad red in it. They distribated it among the mob, The women all through the trouble were nearly all on the side of the opposition and worked many secret schemes to ald the cause, even to concealing small printing presses in their homes, upon which were printed little incendiary speeches, copies of which the women carried about and dis tributed from house to house under their cloaks. Inmany cases families were divided, the greater majority of the more intelligent being for Balmadeaa. “After the Itata affair the Chilians be- came greatly incensed at our country and thelr hatred has been growing more and more bitter all the time. Those who kept United States goods were compelled to secreto them or sell them as being imported from other countries. The warlike feeling throughouv alk Chill 1s strong and the rank and file belleve they ocan easily whip the Unitea States. Martinez, the member of the Chamber of Deputies who voted ngainst apologizing to the United States, is & fire eater of the worst description. Fenars Another Outrage, Wasnixaroy, D. C., Jan, 20.—Licutenant McCrea,one of the officers of the cruiser Bal- timore who acted as interpreter at the secret examination of the Baltimore's sailors by the Valparaiso criminal court, enid toasy that the passions of the Chilan populace could not be curbed and that tbey were certain to break out before long in some uew indignity against American sailors or American inter- ests, Hon said that the presont oxcitement among the young hot-heads atbSantiago and Valparaiso'is only part of & general senti- ment smong all the peopls, and that, in his judgment, thore would occur within the next year an outrage fully as grave as the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore. Onlya Brief Cabinet Meeting. WasrINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20.—The cabinet meeting today was unusually brief. The brevity of the session was taken to moan nothing important.

SCHNEIDER AND H ORRID WIFE. Sentence of Death Passed Upon Two Cold- Blooded Murderers, ViENNA, Jan, 20.—The sensational Schnei- der murder trmal ended today. The jury found Schoeider and his wife guilty and both prisoners were sentenced to death, For cold blooded cruelty this case stands almost without a parallel in the annals of crime 1n this city, The evidence against the acoused was overwhelming, but Frau Schneider until yesterday stoutly main- tained that ber husband was alone responsi- ble for the death of the girls. Schueider described in detail his method of doing away with the girls, He would go to the room occupled by the girl 1ast employed by his wife, and despite her prayers aag en- treaties would criminally assault her, It was thought by the molice that he first chloroformed his victims, but in his confes- sion Schueider said they were always con- scious when he attacked them, Horrible as it may appear, his wife ac- companiea him and aided him in the ao- complishment of this fiendish crime, and afterwards she would grasp the hands of the vietim while Schneider clutehed the poor irl by the throat and choked her to death, he same course was pursued in the case of all the eight victims, After the girls were dead Schuelder and his wife would convey the bodies toa wood close to their homs, where they would strip their victims of their clothing which, together with the ocontents of the girls' luggage, they would afterwards sell, The Schnelder trial, however, has been marked by the presence of a very large num ber of stylishly dressed ladies, who leveled their lorgnottes and closely scanned the features of the prisoners. Some ofithe evi- dence was of & nature to bring & blush to most any oheek, but these ladies, though some of them did blush at certain parts of tho testimony, were so eager Lo hear overy word of the outrages, murders and robberies that they conquered their natural incl'nation 10 loave the court room, and gAIBIDE cOurage from the many women present they romaiued and had their curiosity gratified "Phe public prosecutor in hi ch agalnst the prisoners gave 8 most vivid description of the tiendish character of the crimes and he dwelt at length upon the crueity, b lessness and lack of all womauly feeling manifested by Frau Schnelder in enticing the giris to ber home, where she koow death would e their fate. He dwelt, 00, ubon the rverted pature of the woman which had ed her to become an accomplice of her hus- band in the gratification of his animal pas- sions and induce her to take advantage of her sex to procure victits for his lust. ‘There was & great sensation in the court room when atthe conclusion of his speech the publio prosecutor stralghtened himself, and pointing with outstretched arm at Schneider, exclaimed in a loua tone, “‘He is & doomed Throughout the terrivle arraignment of the prisoners by the public prosecutor Schueider sat with bhis bead clasped in bis bands ana showed o emotion whatever.

NEBRASKA AND 10WA'S CASE Boundary Line Dispute Finally Reached in the Supreme Court. IT MAY EVENLY DIVIDE EAST OMAHA History of the Perlodical Changes In the River's Channel During the Past Fifty Years—Secretary Rusk Severely Criticlses Dr. Billings, 513 FOURTRENTH STREET, W asmiNaToy, D. (%, Jan. 20. The disputed bouudary cass between lowa and Nebraska came up in the supreme court this atternoon, Nebraska was represented by J. M. Woolworth and C. J. Green, and Towa by Hon. Swmith McPherson of Red Oak. The issue involved is the land lying between the channel of the river as 1t was in 1846 and the present channel, including Saratoga aud Busha's bend. Since 1846 the river channel has changed a score of times. In 1851, when it was first surveyed and meandered, the Towa shore passed through government lot 1. in section 20, on the northwest, and then swept to a point far east of the eastern termini of both bridges now standing. In 1856 it had eaten northward from the Ne- braska side and southward on the Iowa side. The survey of 1877 showed the Iowa bank line crossing the southeast i of section 21, and sweeping northward in a horseshoe curve around and through section 2. Nebraska claims the line of 1877, which sho insists was due to gradual acoretions 10 the shore line, Iowa claims the old iine of 1846, far to the east. Neithor side holds claim to the present channel. Tho Nebraska claim, if allowed, will give about half of Bast Omaha to Nebraska. The Iowa clai m, if admitted, will put practically the whole of that suburb in Iowa. Mr. Green made an able argument on the theory that the state was entitled to the slow ‘acccretions to its bauks. Mr. Wool- worth followed with an exolanation of the rplexing maps which accompavied the Briofs and which were gridironed. with lines showing the changes in the river. Thero are fow procedents bearing on the case and the decision will be largoly based on conflicting testimony submitted with the oriefs. ‘Wasnixaroxy Bureav or tne Bee, } Handled Without Gloves. Sacretary Rusk has addressed a long letter to Senator Paddock reviewing the contro- versy with Dr. Billings of the Nebraska experiment station in regard to the cultiva- tion of swine. Secretary Rusk haundles Dr. Billings in this matter with ungloved hands, and says that his actions have been a dis- gruuew the state; that the attacks of Dr. illings have been so frequent, so virulent and 80 ungentlemanly in their language that it 1s considered a disgrace, not only to Nebraska, but to the experiment stalions as a whole, ' The secrotary rogards tho contro- yersy as “a gross impropriety, since Dr. Bil- lings has abused the secretary of agriculture and the chief of the oureau of animal in- dustry,” He states that he is not making investi- rltlmu of experimont stations, as their work s essentially distinct from the scientific work of the Agricultural department, and that it would be an impropriety to pay tne expenses of an investigation out of an ap- propriation made by congress for the ad- vancement of agricultural science. Thipks He Was Exposed. ‘ The secrotary declares that Dr. Billings, having been exposed and driven to the wall, ‘“finds it convenient to pass us a long-suffer- ing individual who has been quietly laboring in the cause of sclence,” and that “in this ‘way and by reason of the theory. that Ne- braska’s interests have been neglected, .he hopes to receive sympathy and support,” and after clamoring so long for an oppurtunity to demonstrate the success of his inoculation as a proventive to hog cholera, it. was cer- tainly ridiculous to find him evading the op- portunity which Dr. Salmon gave him. to make a test at Ottawa, Iil.; that Dr. Billings waated an investigation, butsnot by sci- entists; that, instead of accopting that ov- portunity, ho did all he could to delay the tests which were tinally made, and it proves begond a question of doubt that Dr. Salmon was right in statiag that inoculation was dangerous and may spread the disease. In this case 60 per cent of the hogs inoculated by the Billings method have died from the effects and the disease has since spread to the hogs inoculated and also to those not in. oculated. ‘‘1n the face of the fact of his uafailing recommendation of this method,” says Sec- retary Rusk, “and his statement that any farmer could safely use it, what more can be said to show that he cannot be relied upon and that his teachings are deceptive and dangerous! The invostizations having turned out as disastrously as his pretensions by the investigations of scientists made some ears ago, he now turns to the people of Ne- raska and frankly calls upon them to stir themselves up and little they know that they are Neoraska's enemy and not the subjects of Jerry Rusk or his department. If the state of Nebraska choosos to keop such a mao of this kind in such a covspicuous osition, paying bim 3,600 a year and allow e expend the station’s fund, 1 suppose she has the power to do 80, out her people cannot fail to see that this is a discredit and disgrace which he brings upon her fair nume,” Miscellaneous, President H.

Wasnixatos, D, C.,, Jan, 30.—The decreo of King Caucus 1s to beanvoked to settle the silver quostion in the aemocratic party. This was decided upon today. The opponents of free coinage have taken the initiative in de- manding a party caucus. Representative Harter of Ohio has circulated a petition among the democratic members of the house for a caucus to be held Frjday. Harter had no dificuity n getting many more than the requisito number of signatures to the call, and on the presentation of the paper Mr. Holman stated that he wovid &t ouce issue the call. The democratic caucuses on legislative matters have never been regarded as abso- lutely binding on members of the house and & talk with a number of- democrats made it evident that the caucus’ determination on tho silver question would have less of a bind- ng force than a caucus on almd st any other question. The call was citoulated by anti- silver men, It is a restlcted, and not a binding icus call. A numbder of free coin- age democrats who were seen said they did not belicve the antis would abide by a de- cision tavorable to free silvér. A great many men both for and agains sitver would refuse 10 RO 10to & cAucus unléss assurea that it would not be regarded as binding, M. Bacon of New York and others refused to sign the call. Mr. Bland when told that & caucus call was in circulation and asked if he would go into it and abide by its decidlon smid: *I don’t want to be interviewod on that now. 1 want to walt and see what s aone.” Mr. Williams of Massachusetts, au anti- free colnage democrat on the committee, admitted that he knew of the call, but he had not signed it. He could not be induced 10 make ausweras to whether or not he would go iuto such a caucus. Will Vote for Free Silver, Mr. Robertson, the Loulsana member of the coinaze committee, said: “I am going to vote for a free coinage bill in committeo and o the ho I have no objection to its discussion 1 cauous; but on the silver ques- tion [ propose to Vote accdrding to the wishos of my constituents who-elected mo on & free silver piank. 1 bollevethis caucus, if any is held, will emanate ’ frém the anti- silver mon, and that ifa majority of the caucus should be for free; silver: they would not be bound by it, and on that:question we have an example in case of Willlams and Hoar of Massachusetts, who wuuld not even abide by the caucus decision on'the speakor- ship because of the silver, question. And,” added Mr. Robertson, ‘'l wontwote for any interaational conference. tot sidetrack the ssue.’” Mr. Tatham of Texas, an ‘erruest free sil. ver man, said: ‘“Before I akawer the ques- tion I want an answer to thi qaestion, *Will the anti-silver mon ubiae by thecaucus? ‘Tho manner of respoiss sHowed Mr. Lian- ham’s own opinion on the guestien. Do Not Respect Cancus Mikndates. Mr. Pierce of Tennesées§ wiw forced the free silver fight at the very “mesting of the coinage meoting, said: ‘L expect: to be: tbere if a caucus is ‘held"dnd sea what is doae. The outcome of the. caucus will de- vend upon the democrats who go into it. I came here instructed for fres sive, and if a free coinage bill is presented in the house I am going to vote for it nov believing that the representatives of othdr constitueacies on the floor have the right to bina and make me vote against the instructions of my own peo- ple, as is cortain issues, is not liks a party platform. Whatever my, party says in its party platform Ishall stand by. ~ The eastern democrats would not agree to bo bound by caucus action on the silver question, evidenced by the actions of Mess and Willlams of Massachusetts, who refused to vote for Speaker Crisp, a froe coinage man, because he would not pledge himself in writing to throttle silver lggisiation on this Hoor. Then how can they expect free silver men to be so bound It Wi AFTER THE PINKERTONS, War Agalnst the Dotectlves Inaugurated In Congress by the: Alllance, WasniNGTox, D, C., Jan; 30.—The farmors alliance sounded the war éry against the Piukertons today. They, decided that tho detective agercy shall be thoroughly investi- gated by the house and legislation be enacted to suppress abuses alleged to be practicad by this quasi-militia organization. Someé days ago Representative Watsou, farmers alliance momber from Goorgia, présented a resolution instructing the commttee 00 judiciary to in- vestigate quickly and as fully.as possible the Pinkerton agenoy aad repost to the house its methods, *It is our intention,” said Mr. Watson to an Associated Pross reporter today, “'to push this thing to the bitter e.d. This resolution is & party measyre with the farmers allianco representatives. We thiak that for corpora- tions to arm and equip & stending army to settle their dlmuuut' with their laborers by war is reducing the government to anarchy. The laborers have no right to mainfain & stanning army to fight the cor- porations and the corporatidns have no right to maintain a standing army to flght the laborers. If the goveroment is not strong enough to deal with these people and settle their disputes from a vernment stand- point, then there is an end of the rute of law and the beginning of rule of that party which can equip tho- heaviest batatious.

Fist for embezzlement and aiding in em- bezzlement was conticued today before Judga Burton, The rumor that Mr. Fist, who, since his arrest has refused to speak or give his version of the affair, would be on the stand, was enough to cause agood deal of curiosity and insure a large crowd of specta- tors, The prosecution recalled Treasurer Paul, who identifiea several statements of the balances betwoon himself and Adams county as havjng been made by Deputy Fist. On theso statements, those known as the Chorry 1tems do not abpear, although they should so appear. Mr. Paal said that he never, at any time, dictated to Mr. Fist how he should keeo the books, but trusted en- tirely to his honesty and integrity. J. M. Ferguson, ex-cashler of the defunct City National bank, was called oy the de- fense. He identified & number of deposit slips as peing in Charles H. Paul's hand- writing, the defense evidently wishing to show that the money turned over by Collec- tor Cherry had been depnsited in the bank by Mr. Paul to his own credit. Contrary to_expectations, tha defense did not introduce Iist as a witness on his own bebalf, but rested after Receiver Lymer of the City National bank had glven some un- important testimony. The promised sensa- tion in Fist's testimony was denied the public. -County Attorney Hooppner opened the arguments for the state atd M.

WasuiNgroy, D. C., Jan. 29.—The dewo- cratic members of the ways and means com- mittee of the house this morning unani- mously adopted the Springer policy and decided to attack the McKinley tariff by various separate bills, Nothing was said about which particular feature of the present Jaw should be first at- tacked and this will e lefs to future aeter- mination. Mr, Mcmillin declined to state what he or any other gentloman had said in committee, but did not hesitate to give it as his judgment that a general bill was vreferable to individ- ual or separate bills. He believed that the demooratic position on the tariff was now stronger than ever. He did not think a loss vigorous policy should be adopted against the present McKinley law than was adopted against the formor tariff law, whose average rate of duty was 45 per cent. If that rate re- quired a general revision, as was claimed by all democrats, the requirements of good leg- islation were not less against the present law, which imposed an average duty of 60 por cent and, in addition, surrendered the right of imposing taxation to the president, But anycoe knowing hira would not dount that whatever fmliny the party determines to adopt will receive his earnest support. e Towa Supreme Court Declslons, Des Moixes, Ia., Jan, 20.—(Special Tele- gram to Tug Bee.|—The supreme court today handed down the following decisions: State of Iowa ex rel P.

Dexver, Colo., Jan, Dr. Graves, who is under sentence of death for the poisoning of Mrs. Josephine Barnaby of Providence, R. L, was made extremoly happy today by the action of the Colorado supreme court which granted a stay of proccedings until his case can _be wctod upon in that court at some future time. The supersedeas reads as tollows : This cause coming on now to be henrd upon the motion of sald p'aintiff in errorof the lowance of a writ of error herein and t sald writ of error to be mude to operate ns a supersedens: and upon inspection of the rec- ord ot proceedings of sald dlstrict court as also the asslgnuientof error therounto at- tached; and upon consideration thereof and that & wrlt of Id be allowed ordered by writ of error praged for herein be and 1s hereby allowed and that the same be made to _operate us a supersedens Lo stay execution of the sentence of death prononnced by said district court upon the sald T, Thatcher Graves until the further order of this court in the premises.

The news of the doctor's good luck reached Canon City about 1 o'clock this afternoon and was received by the citizens of that place with approval. When the nows was con- veyed to the doctor by the warden of tho penitentiary his face brightened up and was soon wreathed in smiles, although it 1s a re- sult Dr. Graves has all along predicted. He conversed cheerfully concerning his case and gave it as his opinion that he would soon be granted a new trial and acquitted. The time for Dr. Graves' execution was fast_approaching, as 1t would have occurred some time next week had not the stay of pro- ceedings been granted. On_account of the large amount of business before the supreme court it cannot now be said when Dr. Graves' case will be reached. ——— LIQUOR LICENSE IN I0OWA. error and supersedeas s in " his cause 1t error and supersedens istrict court.

Kaxsas Ciry, Mo, Jan, 20.—~A private let- tor from a well informed gentleman in the City of Mexico contains the following: “The official and subsidized newspapers here at tha capital insist that perfect peace reigns on the frontier and that the country was never more qulet. It looks as though every possibie effort was being made to pre- vent the news of tho Giarza movement from being made public. The newspaper press is sosilent on the subject that it seems to be afrald to publish news from the froutier. Whenover the opposition papers venturo to mako montion of Garza ana his operations, the subsidized papers unmediately begin to throaten the opposition editors with arrest or imprisonment. “‘Private advices which reach here from the northern frontier would seem to indicate that the condition of affalrs there merits mure attention than the authorities aro willing to admit. Mexican revolutions in times past have had even smaller beginnings. *Tho ar- gument that this country hus made so great progress 1n the last aecade that revolutions are much more dificult than formerly has much force. There is force also in the fact that the miiitary men are not only diMident, but at tho same time the element of discon- tent is unimportant and the ease of communi- cation makes it possible for the opponents of tho government in the various statos to act in harmony much more readily than in former times. “All the information that reaches here in- dicates tuat the poople of the northern fron- tierare not hostile to President Diaz, but to the ofticials whom he has appointed. It is al- leged that these officials do not keop the cen- tral government correctly informed of the true state of affairs in the north. At the same time there is little if any doubt that the men associated with Garza are entitied to scant respect. They are characterized as a ‘bad_orowd,” No one expects them 1o tri- umph, but itis feared that they may cause much 'trouble and that their example may stimulate similar alemonts in other parts of the country to armed disorder. If this should prove to be the case, the progress of the country will be retarded,” MURDER HEART. Andrew Borjoss: at Litehfleld, Cor Lircnrieip, Conn., Jan. 20.—Aundrow Borjessen was hanged in the jail here this morning for the murder of his sweetheart, Emma Auderson, in New Milford early on the morning of August 1, 1890, Borjessen and Emma Andorson were play- mates in Sweaen and Borjessen came first to this country ana secured-work on a farmin New Milford county. He saved money for two years and then went to Sweden and in- duced his brother Charles and his playmate Emma,who at that time became his promised bride, to return with him, Emma secured a situation ona farmn about two miles from where herlover was employed. This was about a yeur before the murder. Audrow be- came dissipated and Emma insisted that their engagement should be broken. Al this Andrew became furious and swore ven- geance. From time to time he visited Emma and persisted in his suit, till at last at the request of the girl, Emma’s employer paid him #0 which he had expended i bringing Emma from Sweden and ro- quested him to keep off tho premises, On the night before the murder Andrew went to the village of New Milford and drank heavily, starting for homo late in the evening.

The noiso aroused the people and the mnr- tierer was discovered by Mr, Buckingham as he was loaving the shed, He was captured early the next morning in a swamp about & mile from the scene, where he had been tracked by a trail of blood which flowed from a cutin his thigh, self-inflicted during his frenzied uso of the knife on his victim, Has trial was begun at Latchfield December 28, 1800, ana lasted four days. The defense was insanity due to epiepsy,but 8o skillfully was the prosecution worked up that it took the jury but twenty-two minutes to decide bim guilty and he was sentenced on January 8, 1801, to hang. A request for a now trial was denied and an a| tl:ul for clamency afow weeks ago before the State Board of Purdons resulted in noninterference. ‘The hanging took place in a new building eracted for the purpose.
