The Rosv view Taken hy NJ. Ferrv.

LONDON, Nov. S.-The Standards Paris
correspondent has had an interview with NJ.
Ferry, who denied that France had any in
tention of annexing New Guinea With re-
gard to China, M. Ferry entertains the opin-
ion that the Chinese diplomatists are neither
frank honest, nor ingenious. He utterly
disbelieves in the military power of China,
and is firmly convinced there is not the re-
motest chance of that country going to war.
Ferry refuses to see any such eventuality as
a French blockade of Chinese ports.
Tonquin is not Chinas possess
ion France, he said, had treaty rights
over Tonquin, and would not retreat from
her position at the dictation OF China. When
the French were firmly established in the
Red river delta another market would be
opened, and the Chinese would then acqui-
esce in the fait accompli. There was no diff
ference with England in regard to Tonquin
or Madagascar which could not be amicably
adjusted.

A Father Murders His Wife and Daughter

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 8.-A fearful tragedy
was enacted to-day, at the farmhouse of H
Clay MCGEE, ten miles south of the city
His children returning home from school,
this afternoon found the Iiteless bodies of
the father, mother and older sister lying
upon the floor. McGee evidently had killed
his wife, shooting her in the breast with
shotgun. He shot his daughter in the back
and then completed the horror by going to
an upper room and swallowing dose Of
morphine. The house being isolated, the
neighbors were not aroused, and the bodies,
consequently, lay until discovered by the
children, late in the day The immediate
cause for the insane deed is not known. Nc
Gee is described as a man of violent temper,
amounting almost to a frenzy at times,
he was a prosperous farmer, having come
into this vicinity several years ago from Ken
tucky, where, it is said, he once killed
man. There were six children, some of them
married. Mary, the murdered daughter, was
twenty years of age. Another daughter, the
wife OF Mr.. Sands Hopkins, a member of an
old family here, was accidently shot and
killed by her husband some months ago.
MCGEE was forty or fifty years of age.
MCGEE has for some time borne an un-
savory reputation among his neighbors on
account of his harsh treatment to his family,
and the tragedy to-day is supposed to be the
result OF domestic discOrd of long standing

from the inundations, have become suffi-
GENTLY hard for the transportation of the
heavy cannon which he intends to use in the
siege. The march will begin during the first

ernment will have made up its mind whether
it will assist the garrison or leave it to its fate.

seI-The Murderer a Lost Man.
Gable Special.
Every possible embarrassment, it is said,
is being thrown in the way of ODo nnelPs
defense To-day a cablegram was received
by O'Donnells solicitors in London from
Mr.. Donald Currie of the Currie Steamship
Line, which is likely to complicate matters
in regard to the production of the Cape
Town witnesses, whose favorable testi mony
O'Donnelrs solicitors are most anxious to
produce at the trial. The cablegram makes
a peremptory demand for 81, 800 cash for the
TRANSPORTATION of McHardy, one of the wit
nesses, who is also an employe of the COM
pany on their line between Cape Town and
Port Elizabeth There are five witnesses
coming from Cape Town, and as the bill of
expenses for the transportation of four of
these has been agreed upon, and amounts to
only $1,000, the charge of 81, 800 for the
transportation OF the other is regarded
by O'Donnells counsel as eXorbtant, and
they have cabled a refusal to pay
the sum demanded. The presence at the
trial of the Cape Town witnesses is deemed
absolutely necessary to the defense, as they
are to prove, according to the testimony in
possession of O. Donnells counsel, that Carey
was killed in self-defense during the row
following the sudden discovery of his iden-
tity
Public feeling in England has been greatly
intensified by the recent explosions in Lon
don and the claim set up by 0DonnelPs

outrages were the work of their emissaries
1t is feared that if the large sum now de-
manded by the steamship company for the
transportation of McHardy isnot paid the
company may refuse to land any of the wit
nesses and thus place a serious difficulty
in the way of ODonnell's defense. 1t
