RUsSs MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
sonNEIDER sURRENpERs To THE POLICE

SCHNEIDER sURRENDERs To THE PoLICE-EyI-
DENCE THAT THE MAN WAS MURDERED.
Jacob Frederick Schneider, called :" Big Fritz, I"
who IS the last person known to have seen
Russ before his mysterious death in his home in
Ieeker-ave., Brooklyn. walked INTO the Flushing
Avenue Police Station yesterday and said he had
come to surrender himself, as he had just learned
that the police wanted him. He first knew of RUSS
death from reading German newspaper in Middle
Village Oh Wednesday. He was astounded by the
news, as Russ was in his usual health when he left
him on Thursday Of last week. Though the police
believe that Schneider knows nothing of the crime,
he was held to await the action Of the Coroner
The efforts TO find a clew TO the murderer, if a
day. Russs sister, and her husband, Charles NJ.
Arnold who at first accepted the theory of suicide,
suggested by the police aud Coroner, went to
Brooklyn yesterday to see Coroner Hesse. and
urge moro dilIgent efforts to solve the mystery of
the murder which they now believe was COM
mitted Mr.. Arnold said he was convinced that his
brother-in- law had been murdered. Russ was In
dread of several men and alleged that they followed
him. From the fact that the dead body was found
with one boot on and one off, 1t was thought that
the CRIME was committed just as the sculptor was
going to bed The fact that Russ took a quantity
Of provisions into his rooms the day he died is
strong argument against the theory. OF suicide.
Russ was not on good terms with Parkinson, the
innkeeper, who discovered the dead body. The
allegation of Parkinson thai the house tightly
barred when he entered 1t Is now disputed by the
friends Of Russ.

Dakota the Great Issue Of the 10th Con

Washington Cor. Bismarck Tribune.l
The admission of Dakota will be the
first legislation which the senate ma.
jorlty will insist upon, and a bill is al
ready framed for that purpose. If the
democrats reject Dakota, which is ap-
pealing to enter the sisterhoOd Of states,
it will be at the expense Of hundreds of
nominations uncOniirmed and apprO-
priation bills blocked all over the north
end of the capital. Republican sena-
tors are aroused To the imminent dan
ger Of the party and they are convinced
that If fight is precipitated over Dako-
ia, it would serve useful purpose in
keeping III line the great mass of Re
publican voters until the next election.
The senate smajority is eager for the
fray and the great issue of the 10Th
congress will be the question of the ad-
mission into the Union Of Dakota,
The senate majority speaking for tho
republican party, is prepared 10 20 be-
fore the people on the issue. If the
democrats yield, then there are other
questions for the agitation. and agita-
ten is necessary for republican cohe-
sion.
