KANSAS CITY, No, April IA hand
some young man about 25 years Of age
walked back and forth on the union
depot platform this morning, apparently
in a highly excited state of mind. Early
in the day he had secured section 10 of
the sleeper Iroquois, which was due to
leave for Wichita at 9.28 o'clock. Just
three minutes before the signal was given
for departure the Wabash fast train from
st. Louis steamed into the depot. A
beautiful young lady stood on the plat
form of one Of the cars. The young
man rushed forward and assisted
the newcomer to alight, escorting her
hurriedly TO the west end of the depot,
where the sleeper was in waiting. As
they entered the car a gentleman dressed
in black followed and was handed q doc.
ument, presumably . marriage license.
In the presence of r. y. Rutters and A.
A. NcDougall, Of the Pullman Car com
pany, and Conductor Garcton, the worCs
were quickly spoken which made The

MURDERED HIS MOTHER
Latimer, Who Took His
Mothers Life, on Trial at
Jackson, Mich.
The Crime One of the Coolest
BlOoded Ever Com
mitred.
LATIN er's Counsel Are Confident of
HIs AcQuitAl While the Prose-
cution think the Evidence
viii Hang Him.
a Matricide on Trial.

JACKSON, Mich, April S.-The case Of
r.. Irving Latimer, charged with the
murder Of his mother in January last, is
on the docket of the circuit court today
and as a result there was a large crowd
outside the building from an early hour.
The murder, which was characterized by
a cold blooded atrocity. created a great
sensation at the time and the trial is
likely to renew it to fever heat. Mr..
Latimer is a young druggist, rather given
to a fast life. His father died suddenly
some years ago under circum-
stances which pointed strongly to
murder by poison. He was an old
and respected citizen, but as the coroner
jury returned an open verdict nothing
was done in the case. Since that time
and up to the date of the last tragedy The
prisoner had lived with his mother in the
family residence. He neglected his busi-
ness and as a result ran heavily IN debt.
ON the day Of the murder he left for De
troit in the afternoon. Next morning his
mother was found dead in her bedroom,

from numerous wounds about the body.
Suspicion fell upon the son, and
railroad men were found who
swore that he returned from Detroit after
dusk and went back again to that city
later in the night. BY the chambermaid
Of the hotel at which he had registered
in the afternoon it was shown that he had
not occupied his bed during the night,
Other links 10 the chain were found and
E.atimer was arrested and jailed. On
being arraigned this morning counsel fo-
Lstimer applied for a p~ostpOnement for
three weeks. This is sill being argued.
The alleged murderer was attlred
ike o society leader, with embroidered
bosom shirt, wide trousers with q silk
stripe and patent leather shoes. He was
smiling and confident. His counsel indi-
Gated tina the defense would be an alibi
and that a woman would testify that she
passed the night with the prisoner.
Prosecuting Attorney Parkinson on the
other hand says that he has enough eyl-
dence to hang Latimer ten times over.

NEW York, April 11.-Captain Stubs,
of the schooner Carrie A. BuckmaA,
which arrived yesterday from 81. Do
mingo, reports that March 81, when OF
Samoan island, he sighted a vessel
steaning toward his vessel from the land,
then q distance Of six Oh eight miles.
The craft proved to be q Dominican wal
| vessel. She laid her course TO intercep

ling to the strong breeze prevailing, ant

jer's wake, much to the surprise of tn
crew, she fred a shot which struck tn
water only a few yards from Buchanan
stern. She then gave chase, but with
good strong breeze, the schooner sool
distanced her. What the vessels erran
was can only be co~njectured, as tn
Buchanan was far outside their jurisdic
ton and on the high seas, where they
could have no legitimate right to overhaul
her. The American flag was flying a
the schooner peak all the time. it hav
ing been hoisted as soon as the steamer
was made out 10 be a war vessel.

ia BE True,

LONDON, April 12.-The report that
an attempt had been made to assassinate
the ear has been neither contradicted
nor affirmed. The general features upon
which all reports agree are that on Sun
day last q dynamite bomb exploded
within the imperial palace at
Gatschina. that his majesty was
injured and that an officer
guards the wounded. At the same time
the reports were sufficiently credited so
as to cause q general depression in the
continental markets. In Berlin and
Vienna the effect on the bourses is espe-
cially marked, and the continued silence
Of st. Petersburg causes further uneasi-
ness.

MIDDLEToN, y. j., April ID -liesle
May Robinson, the beautiful and accom-
plished but wayw8rl daughter OF The
late Yankee Robinson, the well-knoHn
circus manager, is dead. One stormy
night about fifteen months ago, while
she was on a visit to friends in New
York, she was found on the Brooklyn
bridge by a policeman, unaccompanied,
and apparently exhausted and semi un-
conscious. When received at the Cham
bers street hospital her remarkable
beauty and accomplishments captivaled
the doctors and reporters, and 10 these
under the assumed name OF Lulu Vii.
bur, she told a fictitious story OF her lite
and adventures, full Of romance and
mystery, which, when printed IN the
newspapers, created a stunning three
days sensation. She stuck 10 her ro-
mancing until hunted up and reclaimed
by her parents. This is the first of q
number of wild escapades which gave
her friends no end of trouble. Her last
outbreak was a clandestine flight from
home and a masquerading our through
the western part Of the state in the char
acter Of an unaccomplished music teacher
from Boston.

LONDON, April l2.-Sir Charles Rug
sell concluded his address on behalf of
the Parnellites before the commission to-
day. He said he would undertake to
show that the money Parnell gave Byrne
was meant for ordinary purposes Of tbs
land league and not as alleged to enable
Byrne to escape. He declared that Par
nell was not aware that Byrne was in
peril. In concluding his address Sir
Charles said: The court was trying
the history Of the Irish revo-
luton" and he asked for it a
fair and generous consideration. IF
prosperity was returning to Ireland"
he said, II would thank God, but affairs
are unhealthy when people consider that
TO imprison a member Of the house of
commons, made of that member a hero
and a martyr" He did not speak, he
said, merely AS an advocate OF members
Of the house Of commons, but for the
land of his birth, and ss he believed in
the best interests of England. The in
quiry which was intended to be a curse
had been a blessing and hat which was
designed TO ruin n man had been his
vindication. RusselPs conclusion caused
a sensation. The general opinion is he
never spoke in a better form. Chief Jus
tice Hannah passed a note TO him IN
which he said: II congratulate you. 1t
was a great speech and worthy of the
great occasion"

New YORK. April t3.-rhe American
commissioners to the Samoan conference,
Honorables William Walter Phelps, New
Jersey; John A. Kasson, Iowa, and
George Ii. Bates, Delaware, sailed today
for Berlin. The commission has received
full instructions from the state depart
ment, but will be absolutely uncommit
to any course Of action. Washington ad
vices say that a good deal Of speculation
regarding the reception which will be &C.
corded by Prince Bismarck TO Mr.. Bates,
who recently, in an article in Serb.
ner's Magazine on the Samoan
question, charged the German
government with insincerity and false
hood in regard to Samoan affairs. and
doubted the possibility Of the trouble be-
ing settled by peaceful cooperation. 1t
is scarcely probable, however, that the
Germans will take any notice Of the mat
ter, although ii is known that a sealed
copy Of the magazine has been sent from
the German ministry at Washington to
Berlin. England will be represented at
the conference by Sir Edward Malet,
British ambassador TO Berlin, while
Prince Bismarck, Count Herbert Bis
marck and Count Bereben will look after
the interests of the Fatherland. Harold

Will Commute Another nee.

WAsHINsrOE, April 10.-President
Harrison has indicated his intention Of
committing the sentence Of John Woods,
the Is year-old lad who was to have been
hanged next week for the killing of q
companion in Indian territory, to life i'm
prisonment. This, however ia not salts
factory to Congressman Peters, who has
championed the cause Of The con-
demned lad with great earnest
ness. His contention is that
Woods is entirely innocent, and he
has persuaded the president to withhold
the order committing the sentence in or
| der that he may be able to submit docu-
ments showing beyond a doubt that
papers for a free pardon should issue.
Congressman Peters is a lawyer of far
more than average ability and a born de-
batter, and as President Harrison is never
40 happy as when arguing a fine legal
| point with a clever adversary. the two
lawyers have had several quite animated
discussions over the merits Of the case
and the questions of law involved.
