WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—The following is the text of the new Japanese treaty, which was signed November 22, 1894, between the Unlited States and the empire of Japan. There 18 also connected with it a protocol, signed on the same day, relating to certain present matters of mutual concern, President Cleve- land, in transmitting the treaty, makes no comments, Secretary Gresham's note to the president is of the same character. The message was transmitted to the senate De- | cember 6 and referred to the committee on foreign relations. The treaty is as follows: “The president of the United States of America and his majesty, the emperor of Japan, being equally desirous of maintaining the relations of good understanding which happily existed between them by extending and increasing the intercourse between their respective states, and being convinced that this object cannot better be accomplished than by revising the treaties hitherto exist- ing between the two countries, have resolved to complete such a revision, based upon the principles of equity and mutual benefit; and | for the purpose have named as their pleni- potentiaries, that is to say, the president of the United States of America, Walter Q. Gresham, secretary of state of the United States, and his majesty, the emperor of Japan, Jushil Shinichiro Kurino, of the Order of the Sacred Treasure and of the fourth class, ‘who, having communicated to each other the full powers, found to be in full and due form, have agreed and concluded the following articles: EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW. “Article I—The citizens and jects of each of the two high contracting parties shall have full liber- ty to travel or reside in any part of the ter- ritorles of either contracting party, and shall enjoy full and perfect protection for their persons and property.

In whatever relates to rights to res. idence and trave, to the possession of goods and effects of any kind, to the succession-to personal estates, by will or otherwise, and the disposal of property of any fort and in any manner whatsoever, which they may lawfully acquire, the citizen or citizens of each contracting party shall enfoy in the ter- ritories of the other the same privileges and rights, and shall be subject to no higher imports or chdrges In theso respects than native citizens or citizens of the most fayored natlon.

They shall not bé compelled, under any pretext whatsoever, to pay any charges or tax:s other or higher than those that are or may be paid by native citizens or subjects or citizens or subjects of the most favcred nation. The citizens or subjects of either of the contracting parties residing in the terrl- torles of the other shall be cxemptel from all compulsory military service whatsoever, ‘whether in the army, navy, national guard or militla, and from all forced loans or military exactions or contributions. FREEDOM OF TRADE, “Article II—There shall be reciprocal free- dom of comerce and navigaticn between the territ:ries of the two high contracting parties. The citizius or subjects of each of the high contracting parties may trade in any part of the territories of the other by whelesale or retail in any of the produce, manufactures and merchandise of lawful commerce, either in person or by agents, singly or in partnership, with foreigners or Dative eltizens or subjects, and they may own or hire, occupy honses, manufactories, ware- houses, shops and premises which may be necessary for them, and lease land for resi- dential and commercial purposes, conforming themselves to the laws for lease and the customs and regulations of the country like native citizens or subjects. They have liberty frecly to come with thelr ships and cargoes to all places, ports and rivers in the territory of the other which are or may be cpen to forcign commerce, and shall en- Joy, respectively, tho same treatment in matters of commerce and avigation as pative citizens or subjects, or citizens «r subjects of the most favored nation, without bhaving to pay taxes, imports or dutles of whatever naturo cr under whatever denomi- nation levied in the name or for the profit of the government, public function. arles, private Individuals, corporations or establishments of any kind or greater than those pald by native cltizens or subjects of the most favored It Is, however, un- derstood the stipulations contalned in this and the preceding article Jdo not in any way effect the laws, ordinances and regulations with re- gard to the trade, immigzation of laborers, po- Jice wnd public sceurity which are in force or may hereafter b2 enacted in ether of the two eountric: *Article MI-=The dw:llings, manufactorie dwelling houses and the shops of the citizens or subjects of each of the high contracting sub- of under the conditions and with the forms pre scribed by the laws, ordinances and regula- tions for citizens of subjects of the country. “Article IV—No other or higher duties shall be imposed upon importations into the terri- tory of the United States of any article, the produce and manufacture of the territory of his majesty, the emperor of Japan, from what- ever place arriving, and no other or higher duties shall be imposed on the importatioins into the territorles of his majesty, the em- peror of Japan, of any article, the product or manufacture of the territories of the United States, from whatever place arriving, than on tho like articles produced or manufactured in any foreign country; nor shall any prohibi- tion be maintained or imposed upon the im portations of any article, the produce or manu- facture of the territories of either of the high contracting parties into the territories of the other from whatever place arriving, which shall not equally extend to the importations of the like article being the produce or man- ufacture of any other country.

Such reciprocal equality of treatment shall take effect without distinction whether such articles come directly from the place of origin or any other place. In the same man- ner, there shall be perfect equality of treat- ment in regard to exportations, so the same export duties shall be paid and the same bounties and drawbacks allowed in the terri- tories of either of the high contracting parties on the exportation of anmy article which is or may be legally exported there- from, whether such exportation shall take place in Japanese vessels or in vessels of the United States, and whatever may be the place of destination, whether a port of either ot the Mgh contracting parties or of any third power.

A vesscl of the United States laden in foreign countries with a cargo destined for two or more ports in the territories of his majesty, the emperor of Japan, and a Japanese vessel laden In foreign ports with cargo destined for two or more ports in the territories of the United States, may discharge a portion of her cargo at one port and cotinue her voy- age to the other port or ports of destination where foreign trade is permitted, for the purpose of landing the remaiider of her original cargo there, subject always to the laws and customs regulations of the two countries. The Japanese government, how- ever, agrees to allow all vessels of the United States to continue as heretofore for the perlod of the duration of the present treaty to carry cargoes between the existing ports of the empire, excepting to or from the ports of Osaka, Nijitl and Ebisuminato. Article 11—Any ship of war or merchant vessel of either of the high ®ontracting par- ties which may be compelled by stress of weather, or by reason of any other dis- tress, to take shelter in a port of the other, shall be at liberty to refit therein, to procure all necessary supplies and to put to sea again without paying any duties other than such as would be paid by national vessels. In case, however, the master of a merchant vessel should be under the necessity of dis- posing of a part of his cargo in order to defray expenses, he shall be bound to con- form to the regulations and tariffs of the place to which he may have come.

THINK IT WILL PASS Anti-Revolutionary Bill Almost Certain to Become a Law, ONE SECTION OF IT MAY BE AMENDED Action of the Socialists Have Greatly Weak- ened Their Own Cause, HAMBURG MEAT EXPERTS IN ERGLAND Report that the British Do Not Consider American Meat Unhealthy, AMER'CAN TARIFF GG3D FOR SAXONY Farewell Dinner to Chapmun Coleman, for Many Years Secretary of the United States Legation—One Moro Field in Sight. (Copyrighted 1894 by the Assoclated Press.) BERLIN, Dec. 8.—The anti-revolutionary Dill is now published textually and is every- where subjected to the most severe criti- clsm. Although the national liberals alone give the bill their unqualified approval, the general opinion is gaining ground that the measure, if modified, will become a law. For this result the socialists have, to a great extent, to thank themselves, their action in the Reichstag on Thursday having produced a very bad effect upon the country. Paragraph 130 is the one which is most likely to be rejected. It runs thus: “Any person who shall, in a manner calculated to endanger the public peace, publicly incite different classes of the population to acts of violence, shall be fined up to 600 marks, or be imprisoned for a period not exceeding two years. The same punishment will be dealt to any one, who, in a manner en- dangering the public peace, shall publicly attack religion, the monarchy, marriage, family or property, by Insulting utterances.” The fight will range around the above paragraph, which will be opposed not only by the socialists and liberals, but by other parties. For Instance, the anti-Semites and Catholics oppose it. Orthodox Catholics do not recognize the validity of civil or mixed marriages, yet both are perfectly legal, and any attack upon them, even by a priest from the pulpit, would be a violation of the law. The anti-Semites are also liable to yunish- ment for anti-Jewish agitation. The Vorwaerts, the social organ, today says this paragraph is modelled on an act of the state of Illinois under which the anar- chists were hanged in 1887. The debate on the bill will be opened by Chancellor von Hohenlohe after the Christmas recess. Ac- cording to the Cologne Gazette, owing to Thursday's scene in the Relchstag, a bill will be introduced giving the Reichstag power to repress similar scenes of disorder. HOHENLOHE'S FIRST SPEECH. Prince Hohenlohe is to make his first speech in the capacity as chancellor of the German empire next Tuesday. Emperor Willilam, after attending numer- ous public functions at the beginning of the week, has started for Hummetshain to par- ticipate In a hunting party on the estate of the duke of Saxe-Altenberg. His majesty will return to Berlin tomorrow that he may attend the service in honor of the 200th an- niversary of the birth of Gustavius Adolphus of Sweden. According to an announcem the emperor's “Song to Aegier” has pro- duced 36,000 marks, which will be handed over to the building fund of the William I memorial cathedral. An interesting fact in connection with this song has just trans- pired. The Vienna Maennergesang Verein, in accordance with their statutes, recently sent the emperor a diploma of membership and a gold ducat on account of their per- formance of his “Song to Aegler.” The emperor has just replied, expressing thanks for the honor done him and saying that the golden ducat will ever remind him that in the beautiful city on the Danube German song and music have met remarkable en- couragement. A pleasant surprise which the architect of the new bullding, Herr Paul Willot, arranged for the visitors was only discovered on the day of the opening of the Reichstag palace. In the corridors around the session hall are arranged busts of noted German parliamen- tarians. Underneath each is a golden letter and thes letters read successively for a motto, First the fatherland, then the party.” Prince Bismarck expresses his thanks through Neuste Nacrichten today for mani- testations of sympathy from home and abroad which he has recelved since the death of his wite. MEAT EXPERTS SENT TO ENGLAND, The Hamburg senate recently sent two ex- perts, Herr Boysen and Volters, to England with instructions to inspect the methods ob- taining there with regard to the importation of American cattle. They have returned with their report that no hindrance is placed on the importation of American cattle on ac- count of Texas fever, and the English au- thorities regard it as quite innocuous. It re- mains to be seen whether this report will lead to the withdrawal of the restrictions placed upon the importation of American cat- tle and meat into Germany. Reductions in railway traiff over the Ger- man and Russian roads for Russian pe- troleum have just been published. These re- ductions will put American petroleum at a greater disadvantige In the competition for the German market. R. Knille, representing R G. Dun & Co., has returned here from a circular trip through Germany. In an interview today with the correspondent of the Assoclated press, Mr. Kuille said: “The most palpable revival of sthe export trade to Amerlca Is noticeabls in thedpxtile industry of Saxony, especlally in the cities of Glauchau, Gera, Chemnitz, Geritz, Plaven and Crimmitschau. This 1s due to the fact the new tariff law lowered the duty on textiles from 30 to 40 per cent to take effect after January 1, 1895. Large orders are now being placed. The Crefledt silk industry is reviving slightly. The full effect of the new law will be expected within a year. A revival in the export trade to America Is also occurring In woolens, china- ware, glassware, paperware, gloves, tinware, drugs, chemicals and very largely in electro- technical articles. The tariff muddle has sus- pended the effects of the World's fair, but they are now becoming apparent. The Amer- ican exports which are sure to increase are furniture, carriages, drays and plated goods. The reports which Frank H. Mason, the United States consul general at Frankfort-on the-Main, has forwarded to Secretary Gresham on the reasons which German finan- clers have for distrusting American railroad bonds are generally commented upon in the German press. The Berlin Tageblatt agrees with Mr. Mason's views. A farewell dinner to Chapman Coleman, made today who for many, years had beem secretary of the United States legation here, was given at the Kaiserhof yesterday eveéning. Among those present were the United:States ambas- sador, Hon. Theodore Rumydn; Charles De Kay, United States consul general; Directors Hellwig, Reichard and Meublberg of the for- elgn office, and represehtatives of all other embassies. A private dfaner to Mr. Coleman 18 being arranged by his personal friends. ITALY AND ENGLAND IN ACCORD. Occupntion of Kassala Puts A Change. ROME, Dee. 8.—Baron Blane, minister of foreign affairs today during a speech before Parliament said “The Itallan occupation of Kassala, east Africa, will put an end to all possibility of any change in the political debates of Ttaly and Great Britain, The fact that henceforth the troops at Kassala will be on the same footing as the British troops at Suakim and Wady Halfa, guarding the outlets of the Soudan toward the Red sea and the Nile, Is the natural corollary of a solidarity of the policé of the two powers, The affairs of Egypt and all African ques- tions will be closely connected with this community and their interests partake also of a general character, ‘for it concerns inter- communication betwesn Middlemeer and the interior of Africa, 8o long as these communi- cations remain in the hands of the porte and the sultan of Mcrrocco.” In conclusion he sald: “Régarding the ex- tending of the field of operations in the di- rection of Khartoum, Italy has no such in- tentions. The government doss not fear any attack-by the dervishes on Kassala.” an End to COVSERVATIVES GAIN ANOTHER, Slender Majority of the Liberals in Parlia- t Cat Down One. LONDON, Dec. 8.—In the election held yesterday a member of Parliament to rep- resent the North Lindsey, or Briges, district of Lincolnshire, J. M. Richardson, con- servative, was elected, polling 4,377 votes, to 4,300 votes polled by Mr. Reckett, liberal. This conservative victory causes much ex- citement in London today. There is no doubt that the result of the election, following the victory of Hon. Charles Maule Ramsey, con- servative, at the recent bye election in Scot- land, will greatly weaken the government. The defeat of the liberal candidate in Lincoln- shire is generally taken to be a rebuke of the Irish and auti-House of Lords policy of the government. The Irish question was made a special feature of the Briggs.campaign, many Irishmen in Parliament on both sides taking the stump. At the last election M. 8.'W. Waddy, Q. C., home ruler, defeated Mr. Richardson, who was elected yesterday, consequently the con- servatives gain a seat in Parliament. BACK IN THE OLD RUT. Affairs in Armenin Settlsd ‘Back Into the W Usual Chamnel. LONDON, Dec. 8.—G. Hagerpian, chajrman of the Armenian Patriotic association, has re- ceived, via Tiflis, a letter' ‘written in the vicinity of Erzeroum Octabr 43. It is as fcllows: “The burning, hing state of things that has existed has returned in an appreciable degree # the customary channel. We learn now on (ndoubted authority that it was ko Pagha ' “Wwho marched against Sassoun with all his troops under his persongl ordersd Zeko attacked the villages located in the Shadakish district, on ‘the boundarles between Sassoun and Mposh. The inhabitants of these places were unarmed old men and women, house- maids and mere girls and boys. Zeko hacked them to pieces and stabbed them with swords and bayonets. The persons thus Il treated numbered about 900" SOME MORE OF PIERCE'S WORK. Bonds that the Yankton Msn Worked Off in England and fretand. LONDON, Dec. 8.—The American school bonds, a number of which are believed tc be forgeries, which have been placed in- Tre- land, to the amount of £30,000, and in Eng- land to the amount of £150,000, purported to come chiefly from Dakota, Colorado, Wyo- ming and Nebraska. There are also a num- ber of farm mortgages from the same dis- tricts. The bonds are in all ‘amounts from $100 upwards, although many of the school bonds are for $1,000 each. Two American firms, one a banking company, each hold 40,000 of these documents, which came to England through a gentleman in Yankion, 8. D, Armenian Revolutionlsts Captared. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dee, 8.—The porte has received dispatches from the governor of Van, dated November 20 and Deceniber 6, announcing acts of brigandage there and the capture of a portion of a band of twenty Armenians, who wore the Kurdish dress and were armed with modern rifies. Six of the prisoners belong to the Arméntan revolution- ary committee. Several were killed and wounded on both sides during the skirmish which took place previous to the capture of the brigands. Japan Poshing Ou wigh the War. LONDON, Dec. 8.—The torrespondent of the Times at Shanghai telegraphs that Japan never treated the American offer of mediation seriously. China's direct appeal, the corre- spondent adds, was futile. Japan intends to attack Kinchoo, a town of Manchurla, eighty miles from the morth shore of the gulf of Leao-Tong, avolding an attack on Moukden. Young Czech Leader Murdered. VIENNA, Dec. 8.—The hody of Stanislaus Heliclus and his wife were found on the door- step of their house near Ppague. The house had been robbed and the eouple murdered. The man was a leader of {he young Czechs a popular politiclan and liiant writer. Englaod Trying ta Plesso Russia. VIENNA, Dec. 8.~Leading Austrian and Hungarian papers attribute to Great Britain a desire to please Russia by agitating the Armenian affair. ————me CHICAGO DIVINE BLOPES. Rev, Conrad Haney Flies with the Wife of George W, fimadt, CHICAGO, Dec. 8.~It was discovered to- day that Rey. Conrad Hamey, one of the most prominent of Chieago divines, had eloped with Mrs. George W. Brandt, wife of the manager of the Price Baking Powder company. Haney was the pastor of the aristocratic Unlon church on Lake avenue, and was re- cently prominently spoken of as the suc- cestor of Prof. David Ewirg in th» pastoratz of Central church, He left a handsome wife and four children and is sald to have taken all available funds with him, leaving his family destitute. It was stated that Mr, Brandt had suspected an intimacy between his wife and the preachér for some time and yesterday followed them and caught them together in a down town hotel. There was a stormy scene and Mr. Brandt gave the minister twelve hours to leave town. Haney did not wait so long, but fled last night, accompanied by Mrs. Brandt. The Brandts live on Forty-sixth street near Drexel boulevard and are well known in the aristocratic quarter of Kenweod, RIDING, FOR A FALL Rosebery Mounted for the Hurdle He Can Hardly Safely Ole.r, LIBERAL DEFEAT AT BRIGG OMINOUS Politicians 8eo in it Oertain Rigns of the Government's Early Defeat. UNIONISTS WILL PRESS THEIR VANTAGE Coalition with Redmond Makes the Minority Almost a Majority Party, WILL DISSOLVE ON THE LORDS QUESTION Ministry Will Be Held to Its Platform and Must Soon Be Forced to Go to the Country—Premier is Busy Courting. (Copyrighted 1894 by Press Publishing Company.) LONDON, Dec. 8.—(New York World Cable —Speclal Telegram,)—The defeat of the lib- erals in the Brigg division of Lincolnshire, as was predicted last week In the World, has caused a great commotion in political c'reles today. This reverse, following the loss in Forfar, scriously shakes the position of the government, the first effect being to create a universal feeling that the ministry can only meet Parliament on the 5th of February, take a vote in the House of Commons on the reso- lutions against the House of Lords, and then dissolve. One feature of the situation is the intense disgust among the liberals at the in- aptitude of the leaders, as dizplayed in vacat- ing seats with narrow majorities by glving appointments to their cccupants. The opinion is openly expressed by influential liberals that the government is “riding for a fall.” The working majority for the ministers is now re- duced to about ten, as Redmond is pledged to oppose them on all questions. The liberal whips consider it quite impossible to avod defeat many weeks under existing conditions. The electoral tuccesses fortify the unionists in their avowed policy of forcing the liberals to glve precedence to the House of Lords resolution, instantly Parliament meets, and compelling dissolution by relentless destruc- tion of all legislation. A forecast of the next general .election by experienced politicians indicates that the unfonists will secure a majority of between twenty-five and forty. ROSEBERY ON ANOTHER TACK. While the political prospeets of the party are thus darkened, society is discussing Rose- bery's marked attentions to Lady Angelina Erskine, the only unmarried sister of the countess of Warwick. The prime minister has just concluded a serles of country house visits, in every case meeting Lady Angelina with her mother. Society gossip declares that Lady Angelina does not encourage his atten- tions,- her -affections-baing -pre-engaged. - But her rclations are exerting every influenee’ to arrange a marriage, which would be a great coup. She is very handsome, bright and clever, with a strong literary taste and ca- pacity, and s independent in her notions. This association brings Lord Rosebery into close contact with the high tory set, a fact which excites dissatisfied comment among his polit- ical friend: The duchess of Leinster, the most noted aristocratic beauty of this generation, is dying at Mentone of consumption. She caught a chill at the duke's funeral a year ago, and it developed a hereditary consumptive tendency, which, despite every remedy, steadily ad- vances. Now she is wasted to the merest shadow, and is in the last stage of the diz- case. uatemalans Have Ketreated. CITY OF MEXICO, Dee. §—The Daily Universal publishes a telegram from Tuxt- la, Chiapas, stating that General Lopez has just returned from a reconnaissance of the frontier line, and is of the opinion that there will be no war with Guatemala. The Guatemalans have retreated from Agua Azul, which they held fllegally. The Mex- ican troops stationed at San Jose have been ordered to the coast. The legislature of Chiapas has authorized the governor to augment the state forces, to assist the general government with suste- nances and munitions of war and in any other manner necessary, Big Trrigation Diteh Opened, SAN MIGUEL, Mex., Dec. 8.—The great San Juan irrigation enterprise is complete and water will be turned into 90 kilo- metres of canal that have been constructed. This work, done under government conces. sion, cost $3,000,000 in gold. The water secured by damming the San Juan river. will irrigate vast areas. Schouvaloff Wili Sucered Gourko. 8T.

Most of the Questions tirought Up Left for the Exccutive C mitteo to Settle, ST. LOUIS, Dec. 8.—The National Live Stock exchange at its first session today adopted a memorlal to the president urging an improvement in the consular service and urging the present inadequacy of pay as the principal reason for inefficiency. A committee report recommending the establishment of a board of arbitration on each exchange be- fore which all trade disputes shall be brought for adjudication, and providing that any mem- ber who shall fail or refuse to permit that board to pass upon disputes before allowing them to get into court shall be suspended or expelled, was voted down by the exchange, A proposition to change the dates of quarantine against southwestern cattle as now cxisting (February 15 to December 1), to March 1 to November 1, was defeated, principally as being likely to interfere with efforts to securo the raising of existing forelgn embargoes. The matter of the distribution of free coples of market papers by commission men was re- ferred to a committee instructed to report at the next annual meeting. The railroad pool- ing bill now being dizcussed in congress was endorsed, The afternoon session was almost entirely consumed In a discussion of the interference of the National Live Stock exchange in the differentials in freight rates west of the Mis- souri river In the Interests of Texas cattle growers. This was finally s:ttled by referring it to the executive committee, with instruc- tions to make & report at the next annual meeting. An amendment was adopted to the rules and by-laws making admission to membership subect to the approval of the executive com- mittee. Officers were elected for the ensulng year, as follows: W. H. Thompson, jr. of Chicago, president; Charles W. Baker of Chi- cago, secretary; Levi B. Doud of Chicago, treasurer. These all succeed themselves. Vice THE BEE BULLETIN.

When Judge Vailant's court convened today it was crowded with a fashionable throng of people anxious to hear the developments in the sensation. Mrs. Opel, the plaintiff, was again put on the stand. She continued re- lating incidents covering a period of seven of eight years, in which she accused her husband of continually charging her with un- chastity and otherwise abusing and mal- treating her. She told of how he always scemed sorry for his accusations, making up with her Immediately afterward. Since the separation in July, 1893, he had often sent her flowers. She had only brought the di- vorce suit after he had agreed to give her $2,000 a year for support and failed, thus compelling her to bring suit, in which he filed a cross bill reflecting on her character. On the cross-examination she made some very damaging admissions. She admitted that Frank D. Brown had spent several nights in the Opel residence, on Lindell boulevard, during the absence of Mr. Op:l east on business. She admitted that she had often met him at her mother’s house in Chicago, where he had a room, and where he stopped when in that city.

Henry, attorney general, when asked by an Asso- clated press reporter of the future action of the state with regard to the Standard Oil officials now under indictment charged with the violation of the anti-trust law, re- plied: “I am not at liberty nor perhaps prepared just now to give out the precise course the state will pursue in the Standard Oil prosecution. We have not yet heard from the requisition to Missouri, and of course the matter will not be decided until the result of our application there is known. As to the situation in New York, we shall endeavor to remedy any defect in the requisition papers sent to the gov- ernor of that state, and will have counsel to represent us in Governor Hogg's applica- tion. “Should our requisition to the Missouri be refused the same be pursued. *“Aslde from Standard rovernor of course W the supposed defect in the requisition papers, the governor of New York certainly has' no grounds for refusing to grant the requisition. Although living in New York they will not always remain there, and requisitions will be sent to other states, Their efforts to avold coming to Texas will be futile, for gooner or later they will be brought to trial and the law will be enforced.” UTES MUST GO BACK HOME.

Harry T. Hayward planned the murder of Miss Catherine Ging and C. A. Blixt, engincer of the Ozark flat committed the bloody deed. That, at least, Is the theory of the police. BliXt was are rested early this morning and lccked up in the central station. After committing the bloody deed Blixt returned ta the city and disposed of some of his clothing to a works house prisoner named Erickson, Ole Bricke scn left next morning for Iowa Falls, Ta., where his wife is employed in a hotel, and there had the clothing washed. He returned to Minneapolis and sold some of the clothing to a pawnbroker on Washington avenue, scuth. The remainder of the clothing was und-ubtedly burned in the furnace of the Ozark flats. The motive for the crime w the securing of the insurance on Miss Ging life Early in the evening the mayor went to the West hotel and repaired at once to & secluded room on the top floor, where he was so'n joined by Detective Hoy, who had in charge C. A. Blixt, the engineer of the Ozark flats. For some time the mayor and detective sweated their man persistently, ap- parently without success, but soon it was evident that they had struck a lead which they expected to develop well, for they sent in hot haste for the county attorney. Then the close c'nference was resumed. Before long Detective Hoy was sent away In a carriage and returned with Blixt's wife, Then Ole Erickson, who has been hanging around the Ozark and sleeping in the engine room, was introduced into the circle. Then the court of inquisition settled down to busi= ness, and during the long conference which followed Sherifft Ege and a- couple of him deputies, with Superintendent Smith, put im an appearance. For a long time no one was séen to come out of the rooms where thg investigation was progressing, but at last,. abcut 12:30, Sherifft Ege émerged and wak pounced upon by the anxious newspaper’ men, He was not inclined to be very communie cative, but said: “We have the man who did the shooting, and are going to arrest him in a few minutes. C. A. Blixt is the man."” BLIXT DID THE DEED. The sheriff returned upstairs, and within five minutes Detective Hoy had come down, taking Blixt with him in a hack to the 1 ckup. Upon thelr arrival there Blixt was locked up on the charge of murder, and Hoy returned to the hotel. Just as scom as he arrived Erickson was taken ‘to the lockup. The charge of murder was algo ene tered against him. Before leaving the lockup Detective How= ard to'k a key from Blixt and accompanied by Mrs. Blixt went to tho Ozark flats in search of evidence. The crime was cone ceived long ago. The motive was the se- curing of the life insurance. Levi M. Stew= was a valuable ald to the authorities in making up the case. It appcars that the scheme was broached by Harry Hayward to Adria Hayward, and that the latter ate timpted to dissuade his brother from the commission cf such a bloody crime. For a time he thought he had succeeded. But finally, when he was convinced that Harry, was determined to carry out his schemec, he went to Mr. Stewart, who has been more than a friend to the fawmily, and told him of the plot. Mr. Stewart took no stock in the stry at first, but when he learned of the crime he at once communicated with the authorities and informed them of the story, that Adria had told him. Working on this information, the officers ferreted out the mystery. The details are not yet entirely, filled in, The officers themselyes are not entirely satisfied just how the murder wa: c'mmitted. They are, however, satisfled that they have the right parties in custody. Blixt is said to bhave been a party to the holdup in which Miss Ging, Miss Vetter and Harry Hayward were robbed last April. In fact, the police are sald to know the name of the party now in possession of the jewelry, taken at that time. None of the officers would state this merne ing thelr theory as to how Miss Ging was induced to take a carriage ride with a man £0 low down the soclal scale as Blixt. They aid not even attempt to exnlain how it was that she had taken three rides, Adria Hay- ard's confession is cnly as to tho events preceding the murder. It is cvident that he knows nothing of how it occurred. It s, however, in evidence that he was visited by Harry at his apartments in the Ozark on the evening of the murder, and told thal he had hetter be where he could account for himscli during the evening. Adria acted upon this suggestion, and at once went ta the house of his father-in-law and spent the evening until after the murder had occurred, Adrla’s confeszlon shows that prior to the murder Harry bad arranged oll details of tile loans, tie evidence, the life Insurance, in such @ manner that it would appear to the public afterwards that it was open and above board. ADRIA TRIED TO DISSUADE HIM, Time and time agaln Harry made personal appeals to Adria, but the latter always told him he could not carry out such a scheme as getting rid of the girl without hanging for it. Harry grew very angry at Adria repeated opposition, and finally threatened to murder him If he resieted. After this Adria supposed the scheme had been dropped, It was not until three days befire the wmurs der that be told L. M. Stewart of what he knew, The object of Harry's visit to Adria’s apartinents on the night of the murder was ostensibly to confer with him regarding a paltry mutter of $5. It was in reality to warn biti to plant himselt so that he eculd prove an alibl. This Adria did. Harry's
