A MURDERER'S BLOODY HAND.
Mother aud Daughter Foully Murdered
in Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY. Oct 2l.-A terrible TRACE
dy was committed at the house of John
Conway in thickly populated part of the
city. A neighbor entering the house
found Mrs, Conway, and her daughter
Kate, lying dead upon bed in one inner
ROOM their skulls being crushed in and
the bed delugel with their blood
which was yet warm The girl
was kneeling beside the bed
her head upon her mothers body
The weapon of death was Il car coupling,
discovered in the alley where it had been
thrown after the murder. Thirty dollars
IN money were missing from the house
The most plausible theory is that the mur
der was committed by ii tramp who, per-
haps, had tempted criminal assault
upon the mother, and, being surprised by
the girl had killed them both.

GRANT, THE ARBITRATOR
LETTER FROM CHAUNceY M. DePEW.
How Gen. Grant Averted War between
China and Japan on his Trip Round
the World-Confronts the Author
ity of Andy johnson.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O-Hon. Chauncey NJ.
Depew has furnished to the press the fol-
lowing open letter to Col Fred Grant:
NEW YORK, Oct. 12, 1885.
nv DCdr Colonel:
In answer to your request for the par
ticulars of the consultation I had with
your father and to which alluded in a
speech before the chamber of commerce.
the following is my best recollection
About four years ago | sat beside Gen.
Grant at dinner. There were many
courses, slowly served and the entertain
ment lasted several hours. We discussed
many matters, suggested by his travels
around the world and among other things
he said to me that when in China, Prince
kung, the regent, told him of their con
troversy with Japan. War was about to
be declared and the prince asked Gen.
Grant If he would act as arbitrator. The
general declined because he was a private
person. He suggested however, the terms
of compromise. The fact was revealed
that several of the European governments
were actively stirring up the strife hoping
was made to him by the japanese gov
ernment and he again declined.
The two nations adopted substantially the
terms suggested by Gen. Grant and war
was averted.
President johnson on one occasion
I
the radical measures of Congress were
revolutionary and would destroy the
country. The war was over and the
republic wanted peace, and that
was possible only by union OF
all sections. The provisional govern
menls provided for, the seceeded States
were temporary eXpelients without con
stitutonal authority and the States had
all the rights and should possess all the
! powers. He had perfected scheme to ac-
cOmplish this, and with General Grants
assistance. success was assured. He
would by proclamation direct the rebel
States to send to Washington their full
quota of senators and representa-
tives, having assurances from enough
members from the North to make a quo
rom. These he would recognize. If the
other northern members did not choose to
join they would be powerless. When he
appealed to Grant to stand by him,
| Congress so constituted ont of the
Capitol at the point of the bayonet.
soon after the President sent for General
Grant and said to him that our relations
with Mexico were very delicate and he
wished him to go to the city of Mexico on Il
very important mission. The general
knew this was to get him out of the way,
and refused Sturdily to be sent.
The interview was Ia stormy one, but the
subject was dropped. The outspOken
loyalty of the great soldier prevented the
project ever being renewed. Gen. Grant S
tirmness alone prevented IA most calami-
tous strife at the most critical period of
the reconstruction of the republic.
Yours truly.
