AFATAL DOSE OF POISON.
TWO OF A FAMILY DEAD AND
OTHERS VERY ILL

A Servant Girl Suspected of Having
Put Rough on Rats in the Food-No
Motive For the Crime Known-She
Had Only Been With Them a Day
and Disappeared.
CHICAGO, April s. George n. Newland, a
citizen of Englewood, died suddenly this
morning and his wife died about noon.
Their daughter is seriously ill, but may re-
cover. 1t is thought that poison was ad-
ministered to them last evening. Aservant
girl, who is suspected. has disappeared, and
a search for her is progressing.
Frank Newland, grown son, was also
poisoned, and his life is in danger.
NO CAUSE KNOWN.
The maid servant had beea in the service
of The family only one day, and no cause
can be assigned for her commission of the
crime, if she, in fact, committedit Yester-
day afternoon she complained that
she was suffering with toothache,
aged IL years, gave her money to
buy medicine to relieve it. The SUPPOSE
tion is that she bought rough on rats, which
she administered to the family at supper in
some canned corn. Mr.. Newland was
weli-known citizen, a retired real estate
dealer. and lived III an elegant house in En-
gelwood.
A SUSPECT ARRESTED.
This evening woman answering the
suspected servants description was arrested
at the Park theater. She denied all knowl-
edge of the poisoning of the Newland
family, though positively identified by
number of persons as being the suspected
girl. The prisoner said she was a variety
actress.
A sad feature of the case is the fact that
the Newland family in taking the servant
were doing an act Of charity. The Anchor
age mission. from which they got the
servant, has been constantly helped by the
Newlands, financially and otherwise. 1t is
a refuge for women in disreputabe quar-
ter of the city.

EQUATORIAL AFRIoA.
An Explorer Declares that 1t Is OF No
Commercial Value


LONDON, April 5.-Sir Samuel Baker, a
well-known African explorer, has written a
letter to the Times indicting the British
government for its policy. which he de-
clares has led to the loss of all the positions
gained in Africa by the enterprise
of individual Englishmen. He justi-
fies the alliance between Emin
Pasha aud Mai. Weissnan and says
it was only natural that Emin should j,in
the German government expedition, which
Will never initiate the fatal example of the
English forces of Advancing only to retreat.
Sir Samuel points out how the Germans
may. in few months, regain the equato-
rial province by foundi & stations at Vic
toria Nvanza, and forming an alli-
ance with Mwanga, king Of Uganda,
thus Feventually securing control OF the
White Nile at Gondokokoro, while Italy
will become master Of the situation by
gaiuing possession of Berber Kaissala.
Khartoum will then naturally fall He
concludes his letter by declaring that the
equatorial provinces are of no Commercial
value. The cost of the transportation of
the products of the provinces is ten times
greater than they are worth. Legitimate
purchases Of ivory cannot be MADE in the
provinces. England, he declares, may bs
well content to be an onlooker in that sec
tion of Africa
