BRUTAL DOUBLE MURDER.
Mother and Daughter Found in Their Own
Home with Their Skulls Crushed.

KANSAS Cry, Oct. pa terrible tragedy was
committed about o'clock this afternoon, at the
house of John Conway, q dairyman, on East
Eighteenth street A neghbor, entering the
house. found Mrs. Conway and her daughter,
Kate lying dead upon bed in inner room.
Both of their skulls were crushed in and the bed
deluged with their blood. The girl was kneeling
beside the bed her head upon the mothers body.
Marks of blood were found upon the kitchen
floor, and the weapon of death, car coupling
pin, was discovered in the alley where it had
been thrown. About $50 dollars in money was
missing from the house. The most plausible
theory is that the murder was committed by'a
tramp, who perhaps attempted criminal assault
upon the mother and being surprised by the
girl, killed them both. Several persons were in
the vicinity of the house, and milk man passed
through the yard, both shortly before and after
the murder, but no cutlery was heard at any
time.
LATERAL midnight the murder remains
mystery. The money supposed to have been
stolen has since been found. George Myers col
ored, has been arrested. but the evidence
against him is very slight, This was
the child's birthday, and Mrs. Bohmean. Ger
man lady, who was invited to assist in celebrat-
ing the event. was the person who discovered the
murdered victims. Mrs. Conway had been
gagged with a handkerchief, but if the murderer
intended outrage he failed to carry out his pur-
pose.

BURIED UNDER THE RUINS.
Collapse of Chicago Building-0ne Man
Killed and Several Others Injured.

CHICAGO, Oct 21-Three men and one woman
were buried in the ruins of a frame building
which collapsed on Wabash avenue this after
noon. One of the men was killed outright, and
his companions and the woman, who was on the
upper part of the building at the time, received
serious injuries. The building was a two-story
frame affair, under which six men were at work
preparing to lay basement wall Suddenly
there was tremendous crash and cloud of
dust that drew a crowd of people from neighbor-
ing dwellings. The building was pile of ruins,
and three of the workmen who had not been
caught y the falling walls created panic by
saying six or seven persons were buried in the
wreck. Some one turned in fire alarm and the
the appearance of half a dozen fire engines and
several patrol wagons. Tue crowd assisted the
fremen to remove portion of the roof, and the
wassFaiscovered. The screams of woman d.
rected the attention OF some people to another
part of the ruins, and Mrs. Kate
Hope, badly bruised about the limbs
and head, was extricated from mass
of debris. Considerable more digging
among the ruins brought to light the apparently
dead body of workman named John Green. He
recovered consciousness a little later, and will
probably recover from the effects of his injuries.
The last person known to be in the ruins is
contractor, named Duane Fl. Kimball He was
finally taken out alive but severely injured.

The Causes of Discomfort.

cable special.
The trouble between the government and
the people is of thirteen years standing,
during which the lower House, the Folkething,
has vainly persisted in its demand for the
removal Of the unpopular Estrup Cabi-
net It's endeavors to coerce the govern
ment by refusing to vote supplies. were boldly
met The King authorized the levy of taxes by
royal decree and dissolved the Rigsdag with a
reprimand. This has since been done repeatedly.
but each time larger Radical majority has
been returned to the lower House. In the pop
ular branch of the Rigsdag, which met this
month at Copenhagen. there are scarce half
dozen supporters of the government The upper
House has remained loyal to the King. Out of
the methods Of the government in the struggle
has grown an opposition demand for change to
a parliamentary system, which is resisted by the
crown by every means in Its power. This is now
the issue. During the last year the situation has
been growing daily more grave and it has be-
come clear that the government must either
yield or face revolution not only in the capital
but throughout the country. Everywhere the
opposition Left is in great numerical majority.
The wealthy, the aristocracy and the bureaucracy
of the country side with the government Many
citizens have of late refused to pay the provin-
cial taxes levied by the government as illegal.
and have resisted .he authorities in the attempt
to levy them by force. A general movement by
the opposition toward arming the people was
checked by decree denying to citizens the con-
stitutional right to bear arms, and the sale of
rifles was forbidden excepting to persons having
license from the police. Meanwhile the loyal
Right bought Krupp guns for the government.
Matters eliminated few weeks ago in the ar
rest of Mr.. Berg the Opposition leader and the
president of the Folkething for pushing the
chief of police at Holestebro. a town in Jutland,
from platform, where Berg was addressing his
constituents. The court sentenced him to six
months imprisonment for assault At this the
rage of the people knew no bounds. There is
every reason to fear a fatal outbreak unless the
government yields.

An Arrangement Which Will Result in Their
Being Consigned to Oblivion.
Special to the indianapolis JournaE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l-It would seem that
the present administration intends 10 startle the
country with some wonderful suggestions in the
forthcoming fiscal reports. Heretofore it has
been the policy of the members of the Cabinet to
allow their bureau chiefs to give out such infor-
nation to the public during the fall months as
would be Of general interest OF course this has
but any news of general interest and statistics
of public character have been freely given out
as soon as they had been prepared in the various
bureaus of the government departments. In one
respect this is an exceedingly good idea for as
the newspaper correspondents know little aside
from departmental work, to do before the meet
ing of Congress- it was quite possible to present
some facts to the general reader culled from the
mass of stuff that is printed in the annual re-
ports, that would be not only interesting but
readable. Under the present policy it is doubt
full if one-twentieth of the reading people of the
United States will ever have the faintest idea of
the contents of airy of those wonderful docu-
ments which are submitted to Congress with the
Presidents message. They will come out alto
gether just when the newspapers are the busiest.
and few of them will ever see any daylight in

INTERSTATE COMM ERCE.
Merchandise Passing from One American Port
to Another Must Go by American Vessels.

DULUTH, Mimi, Oct 2l-The text of the
ruling by the Treasury Department prohibiting
the shipment of American grain, or other
articles. in Canadian bottoms, except for export,
and which was received by Collector Smith yes
terday, is as follows:
''Sir-Referring to your previous correspond
ence, and particularly the departments letter to
you of the 4th ult., and your reply thereto OF
the 9th of the same month"; in relation to the
ing through Canadian ports, have to inform
you that the Attorney general has rendered an
opinion, at the request of this department. on
certain points connected with such transporta-
ton. the Attorney general holds that IN cases
where merchandise, the growth, product or man.
ufacture of the United States, ostensibly export
ed to points in Canada in foreign vessels.
but really shipped from one port
in the United States to another, by
a route part water and part rail through Cana
dian ports, are not bonafide exports, and that
the certificates given at your port showing that
merchandise so shipped is domestic production
and upon which certificates of free entry of the
merchandise made at the port of arrival
after the transit, cannot legally be issued. In
this opinion [ concur. and hereafter you will
govern yourself accordingly.
ID MANNING, Secretary"
AS soon as the receipt of the letter became
known there was considerable excitement among
shippers. The effect of the order will be to
cause all shipments of -four and other shipments
from Duluth, which are bound for New York,
Boston or other American ports east, large
portion of which have been going by Colling-
woor or Sarnia, on the Grand Trunk, to go via
Buffalo and roads centering there.

There are two men who have awaited Mr.

some anxiety. They are Alfred Richards and

here last summer The purchase price was $l4-
QUO. Mr.. Thoman gave in payment Indiana
school-supply county bonds These bonds were
among the fraudulent issues which have since
attracted so much attention. Richards and
Martin sent their attorney to Thoman tonight
TO ask him TO either make the bonds good to
tnem. or restore the house. Mr.. Thoman de-
clined to do either, and notified the attorney
that while he did not seek ouarrels. he did not
avoid them and that he would defend himself
In any action that might be brought against
him.
Martin said tonight that if Thoman persisted
IN refusing to either give himself and Richards
the money-value of the bonds or to restore to
them their house, that they would prosecute
him in the courts. Mr. Thomau's nostion Is
understood to be that the owners of the house
fully investigated the character of the bonds ten
dered by him in payment for the house before
they completed the transaction and protested
to be perfectly satisfied with them He ACQUIRED
them and rendered them in perfect good faith
and does not propose to be held responsible for

THE UNDESIRABLE CHINESE.
Report of Governor Squire Concerning the
Agitation In Washincton Terriforx

Report of Governor Squire Concerning the
Agitation in Washington Territory.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-Governor Watson
Squire, of Washington Territory, has sent a
special report to the Secretary of the Interior
upon the anti-Chinese agitation in the Territory.
The Governor says that there has been much
agitation the subject of forcing the Chinese
residents to leave the country. particularly in
the counties bordering Puget sound Thus
far there has been no outbreak, although serious
trouble has been threatened. The persons ac-
cused of killing the Chinese near Seattle. have
been arrested and one is now in Jail under indict-
ment for murder in the first degree. Strong
efforts have been made to intimidate Chinese
employees at the coal mines, and many
are leaving The coal companies are anxious
in regard to the safety of their prop
erty. The Chinese consul at San Francisco
was informed that the persons accused of muir
dering Chinese had been arrested. The Gov
ernor saws it has been his desire to maintain
order without the employment of troops, and
strong organization of the better class of citizens
at Seattle has arrayed itself under tie law for
the preservation of peace. The situation has
been improving from day to day. and it is con-
cluded that necessity exists for calling on the
military. 1t is not improbable that other devel-
opments on the part Of the lawless element may
occur or about Nov l. when the period al
lowed by the anti Chinese committees for the
Chinese to vacate will xpire. If serious trouble
arises, the Secretary will be notified by tele-
graph and if troops should be required, there ia
an annie force at Vancouvers barracks within
a few hours of the disturbed locality
