THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE

LONDON, Nov 2I-European politicians
are becoming more puzzled than ever at
the possible complications Of the triple
alliance. The advantages which Austria
and Italy will reap from it become more
obvious every day, and it is certain that
Germany is satifed with the situa-
ton. Italy is relieved from the
fear which she has alwas felt Of
France. and in the exulta.ion OF her
deliveiance has made claims which would
have seemed presumptuous some years
ago The wine-inspired speech OF the
Italian general who proclaimed that hence
forth there was to be no thoroughfare
across the Alps, testified TO the national
feeling, but military critics place no de-
pendepce upJu the morals OF the Italian
soldiers. IL was point worth remarkiug
that so far off as China Tie force OF the
central alliance has made itself felt
The Celestial government has Welded the
point that in the future the Italian mis-
sionaries who are engaged IN the oenrTo-
lent but seemingly frIIitieSs task Of con
verting the heather IN that coantry, snAIi
have for their safeguards passports In the
name Of their Own country, instead OF tha.
OF France. as heretofore The shseEd
rulers over the des.iusss OF China
must have become convinced OF the
increased importance Of Italy before chang
ing the traditional policy OF the conssrvs-
tive empire in such a suggestive manner

under the control of a subcommittee.
In these districts Morgan, Catchings
and Hooker were elected, each
of their majorities exceeding 5000.
They were opposed by Chalmers, Hill and
kernaghan respectively, who base their
claim of contest on the grounds that many
Republicans were bulldozed and intiml-
dated away from the polls ana the
ballot boxes tempered with. With
full vote it is claimed that each
of the districts would return a large
Republican majority. n plan was also
set on foot looking to the establishment
and maintenance of live, permanent Re
publican paper in this city, and considera

ties where they haye any prospect of win
ming. They profess TO believe that Halrl-
sons election means speedy breaking mp

CONFESSED MURDER.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 21.-The case against
the murderers OF George Jackley, who was
stabbed brutally early Sunday morning,
was clinched by the confession Of George
Wright, one of the guilty quartet, which
fastened the guilt for the death blow di-
rectly on Joel Boyd, the owner of the long
knife and duplicating George Ward, the
barber, who is known to have carried the
razor. Wright said that after the gang had
exchanged epithets with the man on the
hand car the car had been stopped at the
crossing. While the section hands alighted
there Was a short wrangle, speedily follow
ed by struggle, begun, Wright thought,
by Jackley hitting Ward, the other hood
lums closing in on Jackley. Ward cut him
in the back and side. one cut reaching
in the saloon when the trouble be-
gan, rushed out to take part in
it. Robert Boyd tried to prevent further
difficulty, but was unable to do so, for as
Ward made second lunge at Jackley,
Joel Boyd drew his knike from his sleeve
and plunged it into Jackley's breast,
falling him and ending his life. Three
spectators OF the affray carried the body
to the shed in the rear of O'Malley's
saloon, while the confessor and
Ward went alter DR.. Rupert. Just before
they started Ward had gone across the
street. The confession is belleved, for 1t IS
substantiated in many particulars, not the
least of which is the finding of blood
stained razor at the very point to which
Ward had gone prior to accompanying
Wright in search of DR.. Rupert. During
the intermission in the inquest
Wright went with Coroner Elliston
and Sergt. Morgan to the point which he
said Ward had gone alone in the dark, and
there the razor, identified as Wards prop
a,-tx Ind in boil ha
tween the foundation stones of Hunting
toms grocery. The confession is further
substantiated by Wards nervousness
after he had retired to rest that
night, and by Wards confusion
on the witness stand; further, by Joel
Boyd's story to the effect that the blood
on his knife came from cut on his own
hand inflicted while hitting. whereas
Wright says that the said cut was made
when Joel was resisting his brothers eff
forts to keep him from participating in
the assault. All four will be held for
murder
