JACKSONVILLE, ILL, May 27.-John
Buckin, German farmer, who resides
eight miles southwest OF Jacksonville,
shot and killed his son, named Paul

The murderer, who is a man Of most
violent temper, had some angry words
with his son in reference to planting a
field of corn, which threw him into a
furious rage, and while thus excited he
ran into his house, seized double
barreled shot gun and discharged one
barrel, the contents entering the young
mans head, literally blowing out his
brains. The murderer has been ar
rested and lodged in jail.

WASHINGTON.
The Treaty OF Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Treaty
of Washington went from here to New
York to-day and will go from there by
messenger tomorrow for the purpose OF
exchange Of ratification with England.
Minister Schenck will receive it three
or four days after his arrival in England
and the exchange OF ratifcations will
be completed in three or four weeks.
Manner of Exchanging Ratifications
An explanation Of the process Of ex-
changing ratifcations may be interest
ing, as it seems to be little understood
Two copies of the treaty were signed by
the Commissioners, one Of which was
sent at once to London and one placed
before the Senate by the President.
The Senate having consented to the
treaty the President and Secretary Of
State put their signatures to the copy.
Mr.. Schenck will exchange this copy
having the signature Of the President
for the other copy, which will be signed
by the Queen when the exchange copy
has been received it will be pro-
mulgated by the President in procla-
nation and its provisions will then be
fully in force.
The Dignity Investigation.
The evidence thus far taken in invest
igation went to the Public printer to.
day. Az examination OF it shows that
the committee has made greater pro-
gress towards unravelling the mystery
of the publication OF the treaty than was
The testimony of DR.. Taft
the Senate postmaster, indicates that
while he was before the committee he
must have suffered intense agony lest
he should say something which he did
not mean to. If the whole transaction
is ever known, the complete evidence
will be spicy reading. As the appear
ance now is, the evidence creates the
belief that the publication was made
through the Senate and seems to fur
nish reason for the zeal by some, most
earnest at first for investigation, to
break it down before it proceeded any
further.
