Two years ago he became minister of the interior and a year later became minis. ter of foreign affairs. His policy combines a conciliatory course toward foreign neigh- bors and a patriotic spirit for all that is dear to Portugal. All countries have their Gladstones, Blaines and Bismarcks, and it is 1-rhaps not too much to say that hie repre- sents this national character in Portugal.’ Senor Eeguira spoke enthusiastically of th: manner in which the king and queen mingle with the people and thus keep in touch with popular feeling. “The King freoly about the public places and streets,” said he. “Every day he may be seen on the boulevards, sometimes on b eback, some- times walking or driving. He goes unat- tended by military escort or guar He mingles with the people, finds cc panions among them and talks with them.

WASHINGTON, July 5.—Senor Depuy de Lome, the Spanish miuister, says Spain will take part in the next international monetary conferesce, she s greatly interested the solution of the bimetallic question both gold and silver, the latter coined at a fixed ratio with gold is also an issue of paper currency. Spanish_colonies, Porto Rico Phillipine islan use silver almost exclu- sively. For these reasons Spain's policy is lefinitely for the use of both metals and her interests, particularly in the colonies, are toward an enlarged use of silver. The belief is expressed by some of the best yosted representatives of foreign countrie that an inte:national monetary conference agreement should emboly certain essential features. sure its adoption it must secure the adherence of the United States, and at least one of the three great money centers of Europe—G Britain, France or Germany and the adherence of as many lesser coun- tries as possible.

A hook was fastened in pocket of the tr which were body aud it was towed to the bank fastened to a log by of a vine which was tied to a buckle the back of the trousers, the body remaining in the same position in which it was first seen the front part downward in the water, QUICKLY REMOVED FROM THE WATER Undertakers at South Omaha were immedi ately notified, and shortly after 4 o'clock they were on the scene. The body was dragged from the water and turned on its back. It was found to be the body of a large man and was much bloated by gases. ‘The features could be distinguished, although the face was badly swollen. The head was covered with short, black hair, and above the swollen lips was a rather short sandy mustache. jaws were smooth-shaven. In the throat was found a decp cut between two and three inches in length. The skin was partly peeled from the face and hands, and after the body was unclothed the remainder of the body was found in the same condition. It was ciothed in a white undershirt and drawers, both slightly stained with blood, and a pair trousers of black and white corded goods, th stripes_being very narrow.

The place was examined and John and Max Green again related the manner in which the bcdy was discovered and brought shore. CHIEF EVIDENCE OF MURDER. The deep cut that was found in the throat of Seljan’s body effectually disposes of th theory of suicide. No man cut in that man ner could have been able to have walked from the house and jumped into the river It was not long, only a little over two Inches in length, but was deep, and is supposed to have been made while the man's head was lying back. The instrument was prob- ably driven in hard and the man was allowcd to bleed to death. The instrument was in all probability the razor which was found cov- ered with blaod This cut and the fact that the were smooth shaven gives great to the statem all the pris on Tuesday f when Bukove home he shav kan and his w both said that ved Seljan com pletely, and 50 he cut him slightly. Bu saying that h only half shaved Seljan and that he did not cut’ him. It thought stra that such contradictions should be made in the matter As all the prisoners, however, speak of it, | an be regarded as a fact that Bukove did shave Seljan, and it is considered probabl that it was while Seljan was being shaved that was murdered. Bukove picked out as the man who plunged the razor into Seljan's throat, and and Drubnic ar thought to be the men who held him while he bled to death. Then during the night the body was carried to the river and thrown in, two or three men, If not all of the male prisoners, taking part in the work, either watchmen or carriers The only point that remain Is the question of the route th Streets would naturally have be it p e, and it s thought pr the railroad tracks, which ar blocks of the house and lead river, were taken Urbanowiteh and questioned yesterday tained from them White intends to | arately into the pr body in order to see the upon them the dead b lower Jaw significar rend Selja Bukove that in d. wve denfed this [ as solved Ken, ided that lrectly Mrs. Mikan were but nothing lay Chief all ‘the prisoner of Seljan's effect 1t will also to see If the fact ly of Seljan has been found them to speak WERE IN DEBT was discoy however, which e sto again m ad D- that il LJAN ries Drobn which might mmit the horribla crime I accused.
