Convicted Of Murder.

WICHITA. Kan, March 22.-Frank
E. Wilson, whose trial for the murder
of Mrs. Bertha Miller in July last has
occupied the past few days, was to-day
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. Mrs. Miller lived alone in a
some what secluded house in the
south part of town. One Saturday
morning she was found lying face
downward on the floor of her room,
and the marks on her neck showed she
had been strangled to death. Her face
and portions of her body were black
and blue from blows. Spots of blood
were found on her bed and evidences
of a severe struggle were visible. Near
the body was found a letter directed
to Emanuel Paige, who was arrested.
and against whom Wilson bore special
enmity because his tWilsOn's) wife
had left him to live with Paige. At
the coroner's inquest Wilson tried hard
to brand Paige as the murderer. but
the latter proved an alibi. The evil
dence at the preliminary investigation
and his own actions led to the arrest
of Wilson, and at the trial witnesses
swore that he told them of the murder
and spoke of having got even with
Paige before any one else knew of the
tragedy. Paige and Mrs. Wilson were

Germany On samoan Asnir,

BERLIN, March 22.-The govern

moan affairs. 1t shows that on March
9Th Prince Bismarck wrote to Herr
Steubel, the newly appointed consul of
Germany to Samoa, describing the con-
duct of DR.. Knappe, his predecessor in
the Office, as lacking calmness and cool
ness and as contrary to the lines of
Emperor Williams policy with which
DIR. knappe had been we'll acquainted.
DR.. Knappe, Prince Bismarck wrote. ap-

from DR.. Branders, Tamaseses prime

to DR.. Knappe's subsequent proposal to
annex Samoa Prince Bismarck reiter-
ates his view that TO seek to effect a
change in the political situation with

that Caller was not aware of the sig

Prince Bismarck in his letter to Herr
Strubel further said that DIR. Knappe
was neither authorized to declare war
or martial law, in any case there could
be no question of enforcing the latter
against foreigners. His conduct, both
towards the agents of other powers and
the natives, lacked the calmness and

treatment of the international ques-
tions. His repeated official assumption
that the German government had

SYRACUSE, n. Y, March 21.-The
national syndicate which will absorb
the salt works of the United States, IN
Guiding those of the Onondago salt
reservation, has made a great stir in
the city. Judge y. f. ComstQck, who
is reported to be largely interested in
the new enterprise said to-day: II be-
lIeve it to be true that there are cap
ltaliSts who profess at least a desire to
buy up and consolidate the leading
salt interests in this country and that
some of them live in England. do
not understand that it is their purpose
TO raise the price of salt. The domes-
tic salt trade of this country has, to my
certain knowledge, been losing trade
for several years.
Judge Comstock expressed willing
ness to get rid OF his large salt prop
erty at fair price. The movement
was started only few months ago
and since then most of the owners of
salt property here have been asked to
set the lowest figure at which they
could sell. The prices cannot be ac-
copied at present, because the syndi-
cate has hot been formed. j. w. Bar
ker is secretary of the Onondaga
Coarse Salt association, the salt COM
paBy OF Onondaga, the Cape Cod
Coarse Salt company and the Syracuse
Solar company. When asked about
the price set upon these salt properties
in neg CITATIONS with the syndicate, he
replied: Il suppose the price is net.
but it is buyers price and cannot be
given to the public"
Deputy Salt Superintendent Jay Cox
said that so far as concerned the salt
springs and salt lands they could not bC
disposed of to a syndicate without q
special act of the legislature and he haC
heard of no proposition toward bring
ing that about. The land is now helC
by manufacturers :under thirty yea
leases, and the plants which have beer
put up are private property, while thu
rest belongs to the state. The term!
offered in the consolidation are not alb
solutely known. 1t is reported, how
ever, that in the case of the UnioI
Coarse Salt company the price agreed
on is $7S share, which includes thu
appurtenances necessary to operate the
works. In the case of the Western
Coarse Salt company the price is 800 d
share, which includes the land. 1t il
learned that the proposition made to
the Onondaga manufacturers to joiI
the syndicate or to sell their interests

Some of the local manufacturers have
positively agreed to go into the trust.

WAsHINGTON, ID. c., March 90
Colonel w. l.. Parkinson, OF the Fort
Scott (kansas) Sugar works, was at
the department of agriculture to-day,
and discussed the question of sorghum
sugar making with the new secretary.
Mr.. Parkinson who has been conduct
ing experiments independent of the
government for the past year, still re-
fuses to make known his secrets of the
process used in the Fort Scott and
authorities. 1t will be remembered that
a controversy arose over the patents
about "a year ago between the depart
ment OF agriculture and the proprietors
of the Fort Scott Sugar works. Mr..
Parkinson and his chemist, Professor
Swenson, took out patents for the
improvements discovered ut the Fort
Scott mandatory. and Commissioner
Colman claimed that they belonged to
the government, as the discoveries had
been made during the period of govern
ment experiments. The matter has
not vet been settled, but the Fort Scott
Sugar works continue To use the pa
tents as their own, and the govern
ment has withdrawn its experiment
station from that point. The govern
ment experiments are now conducted
at Conway Springs and Douglass, Kan
sas.
Mr. Parkinson is apparently we'll sat
isfied with the results of the last years
work, and he says the scale of the
operations at Fort Scott and at Topeka
will be greatly enlarged. He says the
future of the sugar industry in Kan
sas promises wonders. and that it
means millions of dollars to the state.
Three large mills are to be constructed
at once in the southwest part of the
state, ON the line of the Rock Islard
road. One will be at Meade Center,
another at Arkalor, where the railroad
crosses the CimarrOn river, and the
third at Liberal, on the border of No
Mans Land. The surrounding country
is particularly adapted to the growth
of the sorghum cane and it is believed
that a superior quality may be de-
veloped. The chaI acter of the season,
whether wet or dry, makes no material
differences in the success of the crop;
hence il sugar manufacturing proves
as profitable in the southwestern part
of the state rs it has ut Fort Scott and
Topeka, the value OF the new industry
to Western Kansas is probably beyond
estimation.
The department of agriculture has
SS5 900 ut its disposal for experiments
in sorghum cane, and as there are now
only two experiment stations in Kan
sas, an effort will he made TO secure q
portion of this fund for the mills in
the southwest. The matter of spend
ing some of the money at Meade Cen
ter. Arkalon and Liberal has been pre-
scented to the secretary of agriculture
and it 10 expected that each of these
places will get at least 900. This
would leave 500 900 to be divided be
tween the two experiment stations
already established in Southern Kan
sas. at Douglass and Conway Springs

BALTIMORE, March 20.-The Manu-
facturers' Record, of this week, viii
publish letter from Andrew Carnegie
giving his views upon the iron inter
ests of the south based on his recent
investigation tour. Mr.. Carnegie
states that the first feature which i'm
pressed him was the general excellence
of the plants in the south. The mod
ern blast furnace is the product of
evolution and the pioneers in the bust
ness have had to build and rebuild
these. Our southern brethren have
reaped the advantage and have become
possessed all at once of the modern
type. HhIs remark applies also to the
machinery in the mines and mode of
opening. handling facilities, etc, all is
of the latest pattern. The Character
of the coal is iron ore and
limestone and the h ease and
cost of mining are all better,
he says, than he had expected to find.
Upon the much disputed question of
the cost of pig iron production in Ala
bama, Mr.. Carnegie says that SO a
ton for foundry iron which is the high
est grade, is a liberal estimate. With
good management and for a series of
years some of the best located and best
managed furnaces may be able to do
even better work than this figure. The
ability to manufacture at this price
must give the southern manufacturers
a large market for their pig when the
next stage co mes, and they seek to
manufacture the pig into more ad.
