1hs German Expedition-A Letter From Emin
Stanlsy Disguised.
BERLIN, May 12.-During the debate on
the East Africa credit in the Reichstag
Baron Won Marschall explained that the
mission of Emin Pasha in Africa would be
confined to establishing friendly relations
with the tribes in the interior within the
German sphere of interest and estimating
the cost Of eventually forming fortified sta
tiUns in the interior. In the negotiations
with England regarding boundaries the
wish OF Germany Is TO 20 hand in hand with
England and to cultivate the common inter-
ests Of both countries. The object was not
to acquire rs much territory as possible, but
to Keep together what naturally is con-
nected by course of WATERWAYS as
means OF communication.
CAIRO. May 12-Dr. Zuccititti has re-
ceiVed letter from Emin Pasha, dated
Bagamoyo. Emin says: 81 found myself
between the English and Germans. Ny de-
clsion to return TO the heart of Africa in
the interest of the Germans was soon taken
when saw the English endeavoring to de-
rive advantage from the prestige of nv
name. With reference to Stanley and Tip
poo lib, have information which, if pub
lished, would create a great sensation.
Stanley will be the first to stir up the peo-
pie against me-"
LONDON. May 12-Stanley, in an inter-
view, said that he was wearied by En-
glands apathy and pliancy in regard to the
operations of the Germans. If England
continued Inactive the Germans would Sc
cure paramount influence in Africa. The
Emperor is backing Wissman, and it is i'm
possible for him to fail TO advance German
Interests.

A DESPERATE FIGHT.
Farmers and Cowboys Have a
Battle.
FIVE Of the Former Killed and Several
Others Wounded.
Nellie Wetherill'S Death-The Suffering!
Of an Actress Who Had an Operation
Performed on Her Foot.
Special by the California Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY. May H. - Southeast of
Oklahoma City about eleven miles, to-day,
the hardy farmers and cowboys who had
been grazing their herds on the Shawnee
reservation had a desperate fight. The cow
boys drove their herds over into the green
fields of the farmers, and, not needing the
warning to move their cattle off,
fighting followed. Five of the farmers
were killed and several wounded.
The cowboys escaped without injury,
1t is believed, and took to the Shawnee
Reservation. The United States Marshal
and posse are in pursuit of the cattlemen.
The farmers have had lately an organization
in this part of the country and passed a
herd law of their own, as they have no
fence around their crops. The people are
much excited, and further trouble is appre-
hended. Particulars are meager.

CRAzED BY JEALOUSY.
William E. Austin Attempts the
Lives of Himself and Wife.

William E. Austin, book-canvasser, at
tempted to take the life of his wife, Mary,
about II o'clock last night, and then TO COM
NIT suicide.
For some time the life Of the couple has
not been happy one. They have been
married for number of years, and have
one child, little GIRL For over year the
husband has not contributed to the support
OF the family, and thC@Uife has been conf
PEELED to earn her ownsIiving by means of
dressmaking
Lately he has been addicted to excessive
indulgence in liquor, and when returning
nome drunk would abuse both his wife aud
child. The landlady of the house where
they resided. on the corner of Polk and
McAllister streets, complained frequently
OF the way he behaved, and told his wife
that she did not want him in the house
This only made Austin worse. The
landlady reproved him thatif he had money
to become drunk on he should be able also
TO pay his rent. When thus under the in
fluence Of liquor Austin has made from
time to time various threats about using a
pistol, but his wife attributed these to
maudlin raving.
Last night when she returned from what
sne called her lodge her husband was more
abusive than ever. He complained of her
accepting the attentions of other men. In
his insane Jealousy he drew pistol from
his pocket and fired at her, but missed his
AIN. nc lueu placeu the weapon TO his
own head and pulled the trigger, but failed
to infiict even dangerous wound.
when Mrs. Austin saw that her husband
W as IN what she believed was a danger
Gus state, she ran from the house and se-
cured the services of Officer p. 7. Kelly,
who conveyed the wounded man to the Re-
ceivng Hospital where his injuries were
dressed. The ball had entered the fore
head near the left temple, and without
penetrating the frontal bone glanced off,
producing merely superficial wound
On complaint of the wife charge of an
assault with deadly weapon was placed
against him. When asked what motive he
had n shooting, the prisoner stated that he
did not attempt suicide, but that in taking
the pistol from his pocket it accidentally
went off and inflicted the wound in his
head. But the pistol was not sef-cocking,
as he stated, and two chambers were empty,
confirming the wife's story.
Mrs. Austin was much affected by the
sudden trouble that had come upon her and
wept cOpiously. She said that her husband
had treated her shamefullY during the last
year. He was jealous to the verge OF in
sanity. Even if Chinaman came to the
house for washing" said she, ''he would get
Jealous. Anything that wore pants made
him jealous"
The husband, when placed IN a cell, did
not seem to realize his position, and when
his wife was giving her name at the regis
ter called out, Mama come here" Austin
is tall, well-built man about 80 years of
age, but bears traces OF dissipation. His
Vile Is about the same age, and very stout.

Of an o!d Family-1n the Army and at

Judge George NJ. Sabin, United States
District Judge of Nevada, died yesterday

matory rheumatism. Only his brothers
wife was present when death came to him
as relief from his sufferings.
Three weeks ago yesterday he left the
Circuit courtroom complaining of being i'll.
He had been subject to rheumatism and
rheumatic gout, and then felt that the dis
ease was attacking him in more virulent
form than ever before. He took to his bed
Immediately on arriving at the hotel, and
from day to day sank rapidly, despite the
endeavors Of his physicians. Even his
wonted vitality left him. He waned into
unconsciousness at times, and it was thus
he died without feeling his end approach.
The organs of his body refused to perform
their functions, so the doctors abandoned
hope and waited the presence of death.
The Circuit Court was adjourned out of
respect TO the memory of the dead Judge,
and no business of Importance was trans
acted in the District Court. The news of
his death was heard by the employees of the
Federal building with evident sadness.

SEAL FISHERIES.
The Bahriug Sea Negotiations Said to Be
Nearly Comuleted

Nearly Completed

tiations have reached the, final stage
While it is not possible to formulate and
publish the intended International Con-
vention for the regulation of the fur
seal fishery in the North Pa
eifc Ocean and the waters adjacent
thereto during the present season, the
American and British negOtiators have
agreed upon a mode by which the regua-
tions shall be framed so that full aud sat-
isfaetory adjustment of the controversy is
assured.
The Russian Government has from the
beginning virtually agreed to join in what
ever arrangement should prove satisfactory
TO The American Government. If here
power than Great Britain, Russia
or the United States should engage
in the North Pacific seal fisheries such
power will be Jointly invited by the three
powers named to adhere to the Convention.
1t is expected the Government of Japan
viii tender its adhesion to the convention
as soon as it is promulgated.
When Sir Julian Pauncefote Informed
Blaine of MS readiness to enter upon the
consideration and adjustment of the Behr-
ing Sea controversy, the American Secre-
tary assumed it to be conceded by the Brit
fSh GOYernn ent that there was to be no
pelaglc sealing inside the passes lead
ing TO Behrng Sea, and that all
such sealing was admitted to be inimeal to
the preservation of fur seals. Her Majes-
tvs Government, as it appeared, had no
such understanding, and this divergence Of
view Al the threshold of the negotiations
led to protracted examination and discus
sion and was the prime cause of the send
ing of Minister Upper to Washington to
assist Sir Julian.
After Tupper's return to Ottawa the Gov
ernment of the United States submitted
the project of the convention, which the
Canadian Cabinet considered went consid-
erably beyond what was necessary. There

Mint Director Leech Says the Government
Is Not Buying Silver in London.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-In answer to the
publication of an alleged interview with
him, E. O. Leech, Director of the Mint,
says: " see that I'm quoted as saying that
the Government is buying bullion in Lon
don and storing it in the assay Office at New
York, and that it is also storing silver in
the West and issuing certificates. The re-
porter evidently misunderstood me. What
did say was, that silver was being bought
in London and shipped to this country and
deposited at the assay Office at New York
for fine bars, which are being stored by
private parties. The Government has
bought no silver in London, nor has il
stored any silver in the West. 1t is not
storing silver at all, and of course is not
Issuing certificates on silver bullion, as
there is no law authorizing such issue. /
did say that but little silver is being offered
to the Government for sale, and that at
price considerably above the market price,
and above the price at which certificates
on silver bullion deposited in Western
national banks are being sold in New York

In Liverpool at great sacrifice. You have

domestic borax, which had been shipped
abroad because of that fact. II was
brought in under an American brand as
American borax, and more bOrax was

brand than was shipped out"
MIR: Scar Qnterrupting)-Is it not true
that borax can be shipped to Liverpool and
then brought back To st. Louis cheaper than
It can be shipped directly to st. Louis from
the West?
Neidringhaus answered: "No. I know
a few things. l know we bought Liverpool
borax at IA cents"
Morrow-But you bought foreign borax,
brought in under the American brand.
Neldrlnghaus-NO, sir, California borax;

talk, Instead OF under the five-minute rule,
was resisted by the Democrats, who urged
further general debate. No quorum being
present, call Of the house was ordered,
after which the House took up the Tariff
Bill under the fve-minutes' discussion rule.
Anderson offered an amendment author
lzlng the President to suspend the duty on
any article when he may be convinced that
the production of said article is controlled
by trusts or combination to control prices
and production.
Mills and McMilln spoke in support of
the amendment
steps in that regard have already been
taken by separate measure.
Grosvenor said the Democratic talk about
trusts did not look well when the last Con-
gress failed to pass legislation against
trusts, but on the contrary, the head of the
greatest trust in the country appeared be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee and
thereafter the committee changed the sugar
feature of the bill, to the great benefit Of
the trusts.
Mills denounced this statement as false.
Grosvenor said: 1--WE are now hearing
again the old plantation slogan" [Ap-
plause from the Republican side.l
McMillin denied thatany sugar trust rep
resentatlve had appeared before the conf
mittee.
Grosvenor-Does the gentleman deny that
the sugar schedule of the Tariff Bill was
changed the day after Mr.. Havemeyer vis-
tied the committee?
McMllin disclaimed any knowledge of
Havemeyer's visit to the committee that
day or at any time before the change of the
sugar schedule.
Grosven0r continued and said the only bill
to prevent trusts was passed by Republi-
can Congress and signed by Republican
President.
Anderson's amendment was defeated.
Nedringhaus offered an amendment re-
duclng the tariff on commercial b0racic
acid,
Morrow arose, and by logical and con-
vincing argument, ably supported by Van
dever, succeeded in defeating the amend
ment.
Morrow said: "The proposition of the
gentleman from Missouri is to reduce the
duty on boracic acid to cents u pound, the
present duty being cents, aud under the
mckinley bill the proposed duty is to be 5
