AROUSED THE MISSOURIANS.
Harrison Talks to Them of Railroads "a
the Gulf -.-s Is

AA"STAoUH AWlkS 10 In6m OF lSUtIrO0(1R Il,
the Gulf
ST. Louis, Oct. 11.--President Harrison
arrived here this morning. The trip from
Kansas City was uneventful. On his arrival
the president was taken in charge by Gov.
Francis, Mayor Noonan and reception
committee and given military escort to
the Southern hotel, while military salute
was fired and the multitude cheered. The
president reviewed the parade from the bal
cony of the hotel. After lunch the presi-
dent was taken to the Merchants exchange.
where he was formally welcomed by TIE
governor and the mayor. After responding
briefly. the party then visited the fair
grounds.
In his address at the Merchants exchange.
the president aroused great enthusiasm by
referring to the extension of the roads run
ming southwest to the tidewater. He couId
see no reason why the trunk lines should
not run to the southwestern coast as we'll as
the eastern. He believed we would regain
our share of the worlds commerce. and
that from these harbors ON the gulf would
be developed great and profitable trade
with South America.
II Is the programme of the president to
spend tomorrow quietly in Indianapolis
and leave for Washington the following
morning. making brief stops at several In
diana and Ohio towns.
Hon. Mark Mcdonald, of California, ono
of the Worlds fair commissioners at large,
came down from Chicago to renew the mr.
gent invitation of the board of directors
and Director-General Davis to visit the
Worlds fair city and inspect the Worlds
fair site. The president was compelled to
again decline. Chicago also invited him
before he left Washington, but he replied
that his schedule WAS already made up and
he could not in justice to other western cit-
les visit Chicago at this time, particularly
as he had already visited it on the occasion
of the opening of the Auditorium.

Henry Shultz Caught Setting Fire
to the Story Mill at
Bozeman.
A Life and Death Struggle With
the Miller Who Detected
Him.
The Injured Incendiary Crawls to . Box
Car and Hangs Himself With Q
Handkerchief.

BozEAAN, Oct. l1.-[Special. i Herman
schultz attempted to burn Story's mill at
one O'Clock this morning. He was caught
in the act by miller. He tried to make
his escape by the fire ladder, but either
jumped or fell from the ladder and in doing
SO broke his hip. He crawled to a box car
near by. and hurg himself with handker-
chief. Herman Schultz came to this valley
some months ago from Billings, where
he had attempted to build -four
mill. He came originally from
Buffalo, MINI. He leased George M.
Thomas Empire mills at Spring Hill, and
has since been operating them. On Friday
he came to town and informed people that
he was going to Billings ON the two O'Clock
train. He then repaired to the Story mill,
where he was taken over the entire plant by
one OF the employees. He was not seen
again until after midnight, when Night
Miller Payson, in going his rounds, discov-
cred fire at the head of the stairs in the
fourth story. By the fire stood Schultz,
who Immediately grappled with Payson,
choking him until he was speechless. Pay
son fought desperately for his life, as it was
plain to be seen that Schultz intended to
oAAO" AAAAA AAAto gu0 Ao 0uO 4uC1u-
crate him with the building. In
the struggle Payson made one hard
last effort to rid himself of his overpower-
ing and maddened antagonist, and fortu-
nately succeeded in pushing him down the
steps, while he still remained in his grasp.
The noise of the fall awakened other em-
ployes of the mill and Schultz, who un-
doubtedly thought that Payson was dead,
hurried from the mill. The men of the mill
put out the fire at once and then attended to
Payson. who is now all right after his terri
BILE experience. Schultz had gained entrance
to the mill through the back way, as the
lower part of the mill is dark after night.
The miller who went off shift at IL O'Clock
saw or heard nothing of the man and it is
probable that he waited until Payson went
to work at II o'clock. Schultz took a five
gallon can of machine oil from the engine
room, which is not used as the mill runs bv
water, also large quantity Of straw which
he carried unperceived and unheard to the
very uppermost part of the mill and there
applied the torch. Schultz after getting
away Immediately put an end to his life as
described above.

A Neglected. Wife in Frisco Making Grave
Charges.
CHICAGO, Dot. 11.-An evening paper SAYS
Chief of Police Marsh has received letter
making rather sensational charges against
]. E. Shawhan, said to have been member
of the San Francisco board of trade. The
wife is in San Francisco. She married him
in Kentucky. They went to San Francisco
and lived several years. Since he left San
Francisco, however, she asserts that she has
learned of misconduct with other women.
She also makes the graver charge against
him Of misusing funds entrusted to him BY
her mother to invest. Since his arrival in
Chicago he had not made any remittances
and she believes he is living high life here
while she is without money. She wants the
chief of police to gather proof and she will
come and prosecute. A reporter found
Shawhan on the floor of the Board of Trade.
He said he had separated from his wife but
couldn't understand why she had written.
They had corresponded regularly. He
wouldn't talk about the accusations, further
than to caution the reporter not to give cur
rency to misstatements of his wife or
others, as he had good business connections
in Chicago and San Francisco.

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE speech Of Sicnor
Crispi. Italian prime minister, at Florence
is an indirect admission of the Figaro inter
view, which irritated Austria by showing
too open anxiety for financial reasons to
conciliate France. King Humbert il said
to have conveyed hint to the prime minis
ter that he had gone little too far. Since
tho Florence speech was aimed especially to
conciliate Austria and assure her that it was
to Italy's interest to remain in
the triple alliance. the tone Of the
Russian press shows that the speech will
assist her rapproachment with France. The
Novoe Vremyae says it makes it incumbent
upon France to come to a definite under
standing with Russia in order to neutralize
the danger of possible aggression on the
part of the allied powers. Prior to his de-
parture on the hunting excursion to Huber
tusstock to-day, Emperor William received
Berlin, who presented his majesty portrait
of King Humbert. He also received Charles
Gibson, American professor of law at home.
The emperor invited him to take luncheon
with him.
As result of the new United States tar
holding back their stocks. A large number
of operatives will be discharged from WOOL
en- goods factories in the Gutenberg dis
trict in Silesia and weavers at NOwawes,
near Potsdam, are expecting lay-off.
Press comments on the tariff continue and
the question of an European tariff cam
paign against America or German
Austrian customs union is still eager
ly discussed The rumor that the
government had opened negotiations
with Austria caused commotion among
manufacturers in Austria and the agricul-
turists in Hungary. but since Austria's re-
tariff treaty in '79, both nations have
adopted strong protection policy, So many
interests are engaged ON both sides that no
sober minded man believes such project
can be realized at the present time. The
North German Gazette's warning against
cherishing such an illusion on the sub
Austria amount to 36O,0O0,OOO forms, of
which 1,OOO,O 900 fiorins worth is in textile
fabrics. Austrian exports to Germany
amount to 40O,O00,0OO forins and consists
mainly of raw products and agricultural
produce. Any increase in the latter would
in the former would imperil the highly pro-
tected industries of Austria.
The reichstag and German government is
not likely to risk the entire loss of
an American market on the strength
of the reciprocity clause by co-op-
Grafton with Austria. who loses
practically nothing. The Vienna chamber
Of trade and commerce has opened inquiry
into the mother of pearl trade, turner's in
which are willing to emigrate to America,
but lack the necessary capital to insure
their admission to the United States. Rus
sian agriculturists are counting upon the
expected European reprisals for the new
tariff to find larger opening in European

In = Conditic n Of Irritation.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE agitation over the
new United States tariff law has been
greater than ever during the last week. The
widest ideas as to the scope and effect of
the law are prevalent. Lyons virulently
demonstrated against the heavily increased
duties on silk; Bordeaux was equally excited
about wine, and the whole of France was in
condition of extreme irritation and appre-
hension, which was reflected by the news-
papers. NJ. Lockroy treats the idea of a
European zollverein against America as
utopian. He holds that France, unassisted
by the other countries, can open the gates
of the American Chinese wall by pro6ting
by the word reciprocity" which figures in
the new law.
