A CHICAGO HORROR.
A Mother POIsOns Her Children and
Herself.

CHICAGO, June 1O.-Cssper seybold is a
baker who works at night. After he had
left his home last evening his wife began
preparation for horrible deed. The pair
had four children, aged respectively
twelve, seven, two and half years,
aud baby of four months.
She dressed the four in fresh white
clothes, with bright ribbons, then gave the
strychnine, and as soon as they were dead
laid them out carefully, with flowers in
their hands, aud all their surroundings were
made as beautiful as possible. Having put
on fresh, white chemise, decorated with
ribbons, she took dose OF poison herself.
This was just before her husbands return
At O'Clock this morning when he appeared,
at the door, she met him and said, "Come
and see the children. They are all dead
and gone to Heaven. See how pretty they
are with nice flowers for the angels" One
of the children was still alive, but has
since died. Mrs. SeYbold died abont z
O'Clock this morning. The cause of the
woman's act is not known. 1t is considered
that she was demented.
1t appears that Mr.. and Mrs. Seybold did
not live in entire harmony: that since the
birth of her last child Mrs. Seybold has not
been in good health, and it is believed des.
pondencY caused her to commit the
deed. From a number of notes written
by their oldest daughter, aged
twelve years, it appears that Mrs.
SeybOld talked the matter over with her
and got her consent to the terrible tragedy.
Several are addressed to her schoolmates
on childish matters, and two to her father
One says: "Forgive me, we have to leave
you. Mama thought It was the best we
could do" The other asks him to bury
them decently and tells him where she
leaves money to buy flowers. One addressed
to schoolmate says: "Mother was always
sick, you know, and thought of dying
often, and Of how we would be treated, an d
so thought it best for all of US to die
at once, and bought something to kill US.
baby first, Annie second and Tony third, l
after, and then mother. We did not suffer
much, and now we are all out of trouble.n

COREA.
The Programme for Extending In-

pic.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.-Advices from
China and Japan are to the effect that after
long and secret preparation the details of
Commodore Shuteldt's expedition to Corea
are now disclosed. Instead of accepting
aid from Japan he relies chiefly on Chinese
influences. This enables the representatives
OF all the other western nations to proceed
simultaneously with him, or, possibly, to
anticipate him, whereas If Japanese CO.
operation had been adopted, America would
have been foremost In the field. Everything
is now to be done under the theory that
China controls the foreign affairs of Corea
The Draft of a treaty with tho United
States was prepared In Pekin under Chinese
supervision. Envoys from Corea brought
presents, and when these officials return to
Corea they will go in the Chinese flagship,
escorted by the Chinese squadron, Commo-
dore Shufeld5 accompanying them in the
steamer Swatara. lt is everywhere Ee-
lieved, though not yet officially announced
that the British Envoy to China, Sir Thomas
Wade, will sail Immediately for Corea
in the Vigilaut, the other British ships meet
ing him on the Corean coast. The French
squadron is preparing for the same destina-
tion. Russian and other officials, it is un-
derstood, are about to start likewise. Sir
Robert Hart, superintendent of Chinese
Customs, is expected to visit Corea with
suitable employees, to take control Of the
custom houses at the open ports
The Chinese Commercial Shipping
Company sends agents with the Chinese
Admiral to purchase land at the open ports
and arrange for the immediate opening of
trade. This programme is antagonistic to
Japan, her prestige and interests having
thus far controlled Corea's external aft airs
and monopolzed It's trade. A Japanese
Minister was dispatched to the capital Of
Corea early this month with secret instruc-
tiOns

CAIRO, June 10-Dsrviseh PAsha to-day
received the Ulemas, addressing them in
the same firm language as before by him.
Four OF the Ulemas rose from their seats
and declared that If Europe had not annexed
Egypt, the fact was due to Arabi Pasha
and the military party, adding that
before the pending questions were
settled the English and French
fleets must quit Alex lndris. Dervisch
Pashs, on bearing this, bounded to his feet
and exclaimed that he came as q represen.
tative Of the Sultan to sec thaG His Maiesty's
orders were ooeYed, not to listen
to their advice, ami ordered them
to quit the room. He then continued the
interview with the other Ulemas. 1t Is be-
lieved In diplomatic circles that Deryisch
Pashs, while offering general amnesty. will
even go further than the French and British
ultlmatum against the leaders of the move
ment.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The New Georgia Judgeahtp-Satur-
day In the HOuse-Wheeler De-
cIInes to Serve on the Tariff Conn
mission.

WASHINGTON, June lit was recently
announced in the News from Washington
that In case Atkins was not nominated
for the Few Judgeship B'gby
would get 1t. The President has
told Atkins that he would certainly be
nominated. He has promised this time and
time again. The nomination will be made
this week, and Atkins will, doubtless, be
the nominee, despite the efforts in favor of
McCay made by old Simon Cameron, but
which have not been supplemented by the
influence of ''toothache" Don, his son, who
is the real boss in Pennsylvania. Atkins
will be the new Judge, and the indications
are that his name will go to the Senate to-
morrow or next day.
THE ORDER OF BUSINESS IN CONGRESS.
To~morrow's session of the House of
Representatives has been assigned for the
District OF Columbia business, but in case
to general expressed decree
of the Committee on Appropriations, the
Rouse will proceed with the consideration
OF the legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill. which may readily be I'm
ished before adjournment. d.
The river aud harbor appropriation bill
will next be brought before the House for
action. The amount of time that may be
devoted to general debate upon this meas
ure and to the consideration OF fits multifau
rious items, together with probably an equal
number Of deserved amendments, cannot be
safely predicted.
The order of business, beyond the river
aud haTbor bill, has not yet been determined.
There is some talk among the Republican
leaders OF calling another caucus for Mon
day or Tuesday evening, at which the pqrty's
policy in regard to the manner of reducing
n'ernal revenue taxation is to be settled,
with the probable result Of arranging for
the early passage of the modified bill that
was practically agreed upon by the caucus
of last Wednesday, viz a measure pro-
viding simply for the repeal of taxes on
bank checks, bank deposits, matches and
proprietary medicines.
in the Senate, the probable programme
for the week Is oFershadowed by the gues-
tion of the confirmation or rejection OF the
Tariff Commissioners.

VICTORIA, B. c., June 1O.-Reports come
from Frazer River valley of the most dis
sstrous fl )ods ever known In that province.
A weeks warm weather melted the snow,
which caused the river to rise so rapidly
that the settlers had no time to remove all
their effects. The fertile districts OF
Chilliwack and Sumas are turned into
lakes, and the settlers reach their
holdings Ia canoes and skiffs. All the
crops OF the bottom lands are destroyed
On Thursday morning last the Malsquis
dyke gave way and the water covered the
reclaimed prairie, destroying crops and
sweeping away in few minutes the dyke
and property valued at 100000. Steamers
find no difficulty in navigating where
few days ago were beautiful
farms. On the line OF the Yole
SsvoDa Railway the river is sixty-two feet
above low water mark. In some places the
wagon roads are thirteen feet under water.
Bridges are swept away and railway works
considerably damaged. On Friday the water
was within ten feet OF the famous Alexan-
dria suspension bridge. Accounts of the
floods are now somewhat better. The
weather is cooler. with light rains, and the

NEW ORLEANS, June 1.-THE Picayune
strongly criticlses the opposition of the
Democratic Senators to the confirm alton Of
Kenner and the other Tariff Commissioners,
on the ground that they are interested in
business, which will be affected by the tariff.
It asks who is there in the country not di-
rectly affected by the tariff, and concludes
its article as follows: Z" To be logical,
the Delaware Senator and his adherents
would select a Tariff Commission OF men
disconnected with agriculture, manufac,ur-
ers, commerce and exchange, foreisn
and domestic, all persons selling, us
ing or buying goods. the price of

be seen that consistent and severe logic in

found by the President"
