EOIIN0 IN THE FAST RIVER

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Just before 10
O'Clock this morning Policeman JAS w.
McGill, of the'SiXty-seyenthp police station,
discovered the body of a woman about IS
years old floating in the East river at the
foot of Sixtieth street. A white handker-
chief was tied over the mouth of the
drowned woman and was so securely fas-
tened that the impression of the policeman
is that she had first been gagged and muir
dered and afterward thrown into the river
There was no marks of violence about the
body.
The face of the drowned woman bore
unmistakable evidence of refinement and
beauty 1t was stated that, Judging from
the appearance of the body. it had not
been in the water longer than ten or twelve
hours. In her two small ears there were
little gold ear rings and on the third
finger of her left hand WAS a plain gold
ring. HeI hair was sprinkled with gray
and was coiled at the back of her head in
knob. She was very small in stature but
extremely well proportional and weighed
not more than 100 pounds.
Body was identified tonight as that of
Mrs Caroline Fredericks She was de-
mented and is thought TO have committed
suicide.

THE PARNELL COMMISSION.

LONDON, Jan. 18-In the Parnell CON-
mission today, referring to further dis
closure of documents, Mr.. Asquith, of
counsel for Mr.. Parnell said that after a
consultation with Sir Charles Russell it
had been decided not to press the inspec-
ton on the alleged fac simile letters OF Mr..
Parnell.
Captain Plunkett, on cross-examination,
created sensation by stating that he had
heard Father O'Connor, the parish priest
at Fieries, denounce at a cattle sale a
farmer named Curtin ana a week later the
farmer was murdered. Father O'Connor
did not name Curtin, but alluded to him in
such a way that there could be no mistake
as to whom he meant.
Replying to Mr.. Davitt, the witness ad-
mitted that he had met secretly III Cork in
1888 the Irish-American McDermott. He
declined TO say whether he met McDer-
mott as paid agent Of the police. French,
the head of the detective force, also met
McDermoUt. The witness did not know
French had been paid money to convict for
dynamite plots.

PUSHING SOUTHERN INTERESTS.
Prominent Georgians Closeted With Gen
eral Harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 18.-General Harri-
sons principal callers today were the
Georgia visitors, Colonel Albert T. Buck,
of Atlanta, Dr. C. w. Arnold, OF Albany,
and II. D. Locke, of Macon.
at may not be discreet for us to talk
much of politics." said Dr. Arnold this
evening. AT present, our position is some
what delicate; still it can do no harm to
state our ideas of the needs Of the south.
Down there the one predominating QueS-
ton is that of race. Until that is removed
we can't hope for the prosperity which
we desire. The only possible manner
of disposing of it is by a division of the
white vote. We think General Harrison
has it in his power to cause this division If
he is given to fully understand the situa-
tion in which we Of the south are placed.
"What we ask is fair representation in
his principal appointments. We have
many able men who are popular and have
the confidence of all parties, whose ap-
pointment would greatly strengthen the
Republican party in the south. These are
not all Republicans. Democratic leaders
who have shown themselves worthy Of
recognition are not wanting. They should
not be sighted. 1t will make them and
their followers our friends, and at the
same time show them that we are first for
the SOOQ Oh INC COUNTY, dHo nob bOulAu
narrowly to party"
Colonel Buck was sent for by the presi-
Gent-elect and his long conference this
afternoon is regarded as very important.
He visited General Harrison alone. His
colleagues, Arnold and DocEe, held their
interview an hour later and after they had
been closeted with Colonel Buck on his re-
turn. They all express great satisfaction
at their visit and Intimate that their views
on Southern Doliticai matters are accorded
in by the president-elect.
Dr. Arnold and Mr.. Locke are earnest
advocates of Colonel Buck for a
cabinet place, but they declare
that Buck is not a candidate
and has not made the least effort in his
own behalf His statement is borne out
by other southern delegates that have Wis
tied here. That Colonel Bucks name
stands pretty high up on the list of posi-
BILE cabinet places is admitted tonight by
several astute politicians who catch every
political breeze that blows hereabouts.

out the cave was suiIl strongly guarded as
before and the mine could not be entered.
The white man soon began to encroach
upon the red, and ell who knew of the
mysterious mine soon passed away. Tho
whites looked upon the superstition with
ridicuie; upon the whole story as myth,
and recognized nothing in the cave but a
crevice in the rock not worthy of any ex-
pIoration. The story and legend has been
revived by the late discovery OF the grave
of an Indian on the summit of the hill near
the cave, which contained a molderiug
skeleton, and, it is alleged, curiously-
wrought stone, supposed to have been the
remains of the medicine man and the tails

The legend will not induce a search, but it
is a well-known fact that for months in the
past year a vigorous hunt was kept up for

couraging signs were found of its presence.
and there is a strong belief that at some
day the mine worked by the Kaskaskia In-
dams, the locality OF which they SO care

THE EAST AFRICA, BILL.

BERLIN, Jan. 1S-The East Africa bill
WAS submitted to be bundesrah to-day.
1t is entitled, "a bill for the protection of
German interests and combating the
slave trade in East Africa" It asks a
grant of 1900, 900 marks. The task of ex-
ecuting the provisions of the bill is in
trusted to commission, which shall have
the right to supervise proceedings of the
East Africa country. Regarding the pro-
posed expedition, the bill authorizes the
chancellor to draw necessary money from
the imperial funds.
The preamble declares that the guiding
principles of the German colonial policy
as discussed and approved by the reichstag
in 1884 and 1885 continue unchanged.
The Post says the letter written by
Baron Roggenbach 10 Professor Geffcken
in the autumn of 1888 shows that Geffcken
had consulted the baron about the publ
cation of the extracts from Frederick S
diary, and that Roggenbach had advised
him against publication until the emperor
saw the original. The baron remarked
that he was curious to know what impress
sion the perusal of the diary would make
on the court.

retirement Governor Shuman says: THE
Journal will continue TO be, as for these
many years it has been, careful and

sured of this fact the undersigned drops

A HEARTlESS ACT.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1a-Max Metzger. a
young German merchant, told a pitiful
story to the police this morning. Last fall
his wife fell ILL., and being too poor to hire
nurse he had to leave his work and care
for her himself. When she died, he had
no money left with which to bury her, SO
he borrowed $50, giving chattle mort
gage on his furniture. After a time he
was thrown out of work and was unable
to meet the payments on his mortgage.
The holder was lenient with him and all
was well, but this creditor died a short
time ago and the mortgage passed into I'M
known hands. Last night when he re-
turned from his work he found that the
holder of the mortgage had broken into
the house and stripped 1t of everything,
leaving his three small children only the
protection of the walls The police will
endeavor to find the heartless sharks. The
way the mortgage men cleaned out the I'M
fortunate MetZger's rooms was something
extraordinary. They began by carrying
out everything the apartments contained
except the stove, bed and table. There
was some discussion about these. but
finally the Goals were drawn from
the stove and it, too, was taken away. A
loaf of bread left on the table by the
father for the children was also taken,
and the contents of pitcher OF milk
were spread on the floor so the men could
take the pitcher Then the table was car
ried out and sick child was taken from
the bed, which was taken to pieces and,
with the clothing, was carried away.
Only the straw tick was left and on this
the suffering little child was laid, with
out anything to cover it or any heat in the
house. The intruders then left after care
fully searching every closet and nook in
the house and taking everything they
could find. The little children were
frightened so that they cuddled up on the
straw tick and shivered with cold and fear
until the father came home.

DISCONTENT IN CAMP.
Dakota Democrats Much Disgruntled by
the Passage Of Mr. Springers Bill.

WAsHINToN, Jan. 1S.-The delegations
from both South and North Dakota and
other prominent Democrats of South
Dakota who have been here urging the
passage of the senate bill for the admission
of South Dakota and an enabling act for
North Dakota feel very much dissatisfied
with the provisions of the Springer omni-
bus bill which passed the house today They
are all united in saying that it will merely
serve to delay the admission of South Da-
kota and render useless all that has been
done since the organization of the move
ment for admission five years ago. They
are asking the senate TO reject it and are
willing TO take chances with the new con-
gress, hoping and expecting an extra ses-
sion will be called by the preSident-elect
when he takes office. The delegation re-
CARDS the provision of the bill as unfair in
Q political sense and also unsafe for the
material interest of the territory.
The omnibus bill which passed the house
today, in so far as it relates To Montana,
authorizes the inhabitants of that terri
tory to choose delegates to form conven-
tlon III each district in which the territory
is divided. Three delegates shall be elect
ed, but no elector shall vote for more than
two persons for delegates. The election
shalt be held on the End day of

sary in order TO comply with the provisions

Immediately adopted, there being only one

STORY OF A LACE VAIL.
How Woman Recognized the Lost Heir
loom of Dover Chest.
London Truth

iLcudth
I must tell you something that happened
once in country town where dishonesty
in the educated classes is not so safe cs it
is in cities. a girl l knew was one day
ransacking an old dower-chest, and found,
among other things long laid by, an old
fashioned white lace vail. 1t was about
yard and "a quarter III length and was quite
yard wide. The design was heavy and
rich along the edge, and the rest was
''sprigged" with small orange buds 1t had
been the wedding vail Of some ancestressS
The lace was beautifully fine old Brussels,
and. of course, was valuable. The girl was
so delighted to find it, rolled up among a
lot of old linen, that she impetuousiy
dragged 1t out Of the chest, and, in doing
so, caught one corner of it on wrctched
nail that lurked unseen inside the big box.
However, she dsrned it so skilfnlly that it
hardly showed, and she used TO wear this
vail as fchu, and lovely it looked.
One very bot day, a. a garden party. she
left it in the bedroom of her hostess and,
coming up to get it in the evening. could
not find 1t any where 1t had disappeared,
and, though she was very sorry jus. at
