kALNOKY AND BISMARCK.

LONDON, Nov. Awhile there is the
usual amount of curiosity as to the con-
ference between Prince Bismarck and
Count Kalnoky. it seems certain that the
only subject of conversation which could
have brought about the meeting at this
time is that of the triple alliance. There is
room for speculation as to the exact effect
of the exchange of views between the
by semi-oficial announcements.
induced Austria to adopt a
more conciliatory attitude to-
ward Russia in order to remove all posi-
bic excuse for the cars suspicion of an
unfriendly purpose on the part of the al
lance. But if the latest advices from ST.
Petersburg are to be trusted the car has,
since his return to the Russian capital,
again listened with credulity to the fanati-
cal assertions of the Pan-Slavists, and is
once more ready to believe, with or with
out evidence, that the hand of every Euro
pean power except France is against
Russia.
The good effect produced upon the czar's
mind by Prince Bismarck's assurances and
arguments during his visit to Berlin are
thus, it seems, likely to be entirely obliter-
ated by the influences to which he is per-
manently subjected, and it is considered
probable that Prince Bismarck will i'm
press upon Count Kalnoky the necessity
of making allowance for q constantly hos
tile attitude on the part of Russia. The
eXertions which the Emperor
the personal friendship of the
sultan will, if successful, 60 very far to-
ward neutralizing the effect Of the unfa-
vorable stand taken by Russia, and will
relieve the dreibund Of much of it's pres
ent embarrassment in respect to the east
ern situation. 1t is given out that the
emperor was surprised at the military
strength displayed by the sultan in the
welcome accorded him. Whether the Ger.
man monarch was really surprised may
we'll be doubted. for he is as well &C
quainted with the size of the armies
and navies of his neighbors as with
that of his own. But under pres
ent circumstances he was doubtless
well pleased to have peculiar proof of a
good degree of strength on Turkeys part,
for it may become to Germany's interest
to have Turkey as strong as possible, in
playing her off against Russia. A good
understanding between Berlin and Con-
stantinople would also be another bond Of
good fee ing between England and Ger
many, for nothing would please the
English bondholder more than to have
another great power interested in main
tanning Turkey as an independent nation
until her securities are all paid.

CHICAGO. Ill, Nov. Assistant States
Attorney Baker returned last night from
Winnipeg, where he has been gathering
up statements from Burke's Jail compan-
ions OF the latter's confession to them, and
has also made arrangements with other
witnesses to come to Chicago to testify
when wanted. 81 have a great deal of con-
fidence in Gillette's story" said Mr.. Baker.
Some things that he said about Burke
and his calling at Beggs' Office, as well as
describing the location of the office, and
his story about Konen, he told so well, he
could not have got from any one but
Burke, as nothing had ever been printed
ABOUT them. He is an old man and told
his story in a clear cut way, and / believe
1t. But what good does it do? We can't
get MIN down here as witness"
Mr.. Baker says he does not think Chief
McRea, of the Winnipeg police, will come
to Chicago to testisy because he has not
been paid mis- bill of $40 for arresting
Burke. McKimmon will come, however,
and so will Mills and Heffer, to whom
Burke made some damaging statements
They We're in Jail at the time but have
since been released.
Are the reports that have been printed
about their statements true?"
NO. they have been greatly exagger-
ated In details, though the main outlines
are true. They will come but Gillette
would make better witness"

WANDERING WHILE INSANE.

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo, Nov. About six
months ago two young men, named John
j. 6haffer and John Spradlin, both resi-
dents of this city, left here for California,
taking with them = small German boy
whom Shaffer had adopted. They went
through by rail to San Francisco, and
thence by steamship to Oregon.t They were
in quest of work. but finding nothing that
suited them aud having plenty of money.
they returned as far as Davenport, la.
One day at the hotel where they were
stopping. Shaffer left Spradlin and the
little boy, going in search of work, sayin z
he would return on the following day, but
he did not return and had not been heard
from until yesterday.
Spradlin and the boy after remaining al
the hotel few days came to Poplar Bluff.
Neither pains nor expense have been
spared to learn the whereabouts OF Shaffer.
The Knights of Pythias. to which order he
belonged, took hold of the matter and
flooded several states with thousands of
descriptive circulars offering reward for
any information leading to the discovery
of his whereabouts. Not word was heard
until yesterday when a letter was received
by his brother-ln.law, j. r. Hogg. The
letter was dated Union City, Tenn, and
was mailed at Trenton. In this letter
Shaffer states that when he left Davenport
be was all right, but when he awoke he
was in Nevada, in covered wagon,
being driven to the mountains by a
mob of desperadoes. He managed to es-
cape from the band and was four weeks
reaching railroad. This was in July and
he has been all these months beating his
way back home. Mr.. Hogg Immediately
started for Union City upon receiving the
letter and will go on to jackson, hoping
there to meet Shaffer. Shaffer has consid-
cradle property in this county. He was a
sober, industrious man and very popular.
His wife died few mouths before ne left
here and it is feared that the wandering
man Is insane and that he has been trav-
cling aimlessly about all these months. He
is about q years of age.

SHOT DEAD BY HUNTERS.

LEBANON, Mo-, Nov. 4.-The news of a
shocking double murder near Mack
Creek reached here today. A party of five
hunters have been camping near that place
for the past week. Yesterday they met
the l5-year-old so n of Ed Hurst. farmer,
and accused him of stealing and breaking
their traps. He denied the charge but the
trappers tied him to tree and beat him
with switches. The boy later in the day
reported the occurrence to his father, who,
with companion named Wheeler Green.
started out to investigate the matter
Meeting with the hunters a quarrel en-
sued during which Green was shot and
instantly killed. Hurst was shot through
the head and died In few hours. When
the news reached Mack's Creek large

Figures are submitted in the report

The secretary closes as follows:
''The nations of Europe strain

Womcn's Breathing.

Our readers will doubtless remember the
claim made by DR.. Thomas J. Mays, of Phil
adelphia, that he had succeeded in demon
strating that the statement made in almost
every text book on physiology, that it was
natural for women TO breathe from the chest,
was wrong; that the abdominal type of res
piration, as ordinarily observed in men. Yves
the natural type Of women as well, and the
costal type as seen in women is the result of
modern dress. This claim he supported by
the result of an examination OF eighty-two
American Indian girls. DR.. J. II. Kellogg,
from an examination Of Chinese and other
women untrammeled by tight fitting dress,
finds the abdominal type present in them.
Other observers, notably Hutchinson, in
twenty-four girls whose waists had never
been CONSTRUCTED by corsets or other appli-
ances, found the costai type present. Herald

Yesterday a party composed of Louis
Gerbacher, c. Fl. Lutterkort and P. Conrad
went down the river to point about three
miles below the city to spend the day in
fishing and resting from their labors of the
week. Other parties joined them, and after
fishing for some time Gerbacker and Lut-
terkort went down the river-bank short
distance for the purpose of taking swim.
In short time Lutterkort returned to
where the rest of the party were resting
under the trees and announced that his
comrade was drowned. 1t seems that Ger
bacher was the first to enter the water, and
almost Immediately went down. A boat
was procured as soon as possible, and q

Should Be Investigated.

There is considerable mystery surround
ing an affair which occurred yesterday fore
noon in lodging house on street between
Sixth and Seventh.
At about 10 o'clock a middle-aged man,
whose name could not be ascertained, fell
or was pushed out of the third story of the
building and fell distance of thirty feet to
the yard below. He was in his night clothes
at the time
A roomer in the house at No. 621 street,
whose attention was attracted by the mans
groans, says that shortly after his fall
several parties ran down stairs to where he
lay and quickly carried him into the house
Several versions of the affair were heard
last night. One was that the man mad been
kicked out of a window in the upper story
OF 623 street, by an irate husband upon
whose household he had been trespassing.
Another story was that the man was a
somnambulist, and walked out of the win
dow.
Inquiries at both Of these houses failed
to throw any light upon the matter. No
body seemed to know anything about the
matter further than that "a man fell out of
the window"
1t was stated that the man is now hidden
in one of the rooms of No 62l, as it is de-
sirous that his condition or the particulars
OF the affair shall not become known.
