my brother-we must bear one
another's burdens. They may
say 1t crudely. They may mix
much that is false in their ut

do say it. Is the world ready

MURDER WILL OUT. !
A Mystery That Puzzled the Chicago Po
lice Cleared Up.s a

A Mystery That Puzzled the Chicago Po-
lice Cleared Up. fNe
CHICAGO, Dec. 8.-The mystery of the
murder of Mrs. Leggenhager and her
son, a couple of weeks ago, was partly
cleared up today, and Herman Kraatz
is under arrest, charged with being one
OF the perpetrators of the double MUIR
der. The police and coroner have been
at variance as to whether the mother
or son suicided after Staying the
other; or whether both were mur-
dered by thief or desperate debtor.
Today when the inquest was about
finished, Kraatz betrayed nervousness
upon being questioned about his finan-
cial relations with Mrs. Leggenhager,
as well as his movements at the time of
her death. 1t is probable that this
method of murder was brought to light
by the discovery of a robe in the room
where the body lay, and it is believed
the mother and son were smothered to
death. Kraatz is the husband of
the dead woman's step daugh-
ter. The police are investigating
the whereabouts of his two brothers
neither of whom had the most enviable
record. A curious fact is that Kraatz's
father and uncle years ago fought each
other with knives after quarrel. The
uncle killed his man, went insane and
died in an asylum. What relation, if
any, Kraatz's vile has TO the murder of
her stepmother and brother, does not
appear, but it is known the girl had bit
terly complained of the dead woman g
mieerly habits. r~-

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The Chapter ON the Chilean Question
Will Be Vigorous.


Will Be Vigorous.
CHICAGO, Dec. ga Washington spe-
cial says: The presidents coming mes
tional feature. The Chilean chapter
will be the most vigorous utterance con-
tanned in an executive message for a
long while. 1t will show that the seri-
business of the situation has at no time
been underestimated by the president
and Secretary Blaine. There will be no
hint of recalling Minister Egan. III any
thing is to be said on that point, it will
be more likely word of praise than
anything else. The question on which
the president wants to give congress the
fullest information relates to the
attack on the sailors of the
Baltimore, and the unsatisfactory
action of the Chilean government. The
difference between that attack and the
New Orleans lynching will be fully ex-
planned, and then hints are given that it
may yet become necessary to present an
ultimatum to the Chilean government.
Every naval commandant in the United
States has received instructions to fit
out and put in commission all the sea-
going men-of-war lying in American
waters, and the result is that two power
full fleets now have their bows turned
toward the south. The president will
probably hint to congress the steps
which it may be necessary for the United
States to take in order to secure repara-
tion, the meaning of which is three-fold
indemnity for the outrage, the punish
ment of the offenders and apologies to
the flag insulted.

Heavy Storms In Southern Oregon and
Northern California.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 8.-The rain
storm which commenced here today ex-
tends over the northern and CEN
tral portions of the state, and
seems to be travelling south.
At many points the rain is the heav-
lest of the season. Rain is reported at
Tracy, Petaluma, Napa, Stockton,
Marysville, Nevada, Sonoma, Oroville
and Chico. Heavy SHOWS have fallen
in the mountains.
DUNsMUIR, CAL, Dec. S.-Snow COM
menced falling this morning and has
continued all day, but has nearly
stopped now. 1t is three feet deep.
Snow plows are running ahead of all
trains. The south-bound passenger
train is about seven hours late. The
weather is warm and the snow is heavy.
ASHLAND, Ore, Dec. S.-Unusually
heavy rain storms have prevailed in
Southern Oregon and Northern Califor-
mia since last night. Heavy SHOWS have
fallen on the Siskiyous, interfering seri-
ously with trains on the Southern Pa
citic. The southbound passenger, leav-
ing here at noon today, was delayed by
snow and icy track five hours between
Ashland and Siskiyou, at the summit of
the mountain. The northbound over
land due here 4 10 this afternoon, can
not get here until late tonight.

THE FRENCH AT THE FAIR.
No Encouragement for Exhibitors at tn
Chicago Exposition.


Chicago Exposition.
PARIS, Dec. S.-The Associated Press
correspondent has been making in
quiries among number of importers
concerning their participating in the
Chicago worlds fair. Ernest Tourde-
let, member OF the Paris chamber of
commerce, said, though the Mckinley
bill had discouraged them greatly, they
could not abdicate from their hold on
the American markets, and the leading
effort to present excellent exhibits.
A prominent Marseilles wool exporter,
M. Hanerwein, said the principal man
ufacturcrs there did not yet show much
interest in the undertaking, but this
exporter said their chamber of COM
nAerce had been requested by the
French government to endeavor to at
tract exhibitors, and has done 30,
but up to the present no demand for
space had been registered. This proba-
bly, might change.
A firm of Lyons silk exporters said
there was little enthusiasm there, but
some manufacturers have signified their
intention of participating. The slowness
is attributed to the effects of the Ameri-
can tariff.
A firm of upholstery manufacturers of
Roubaif said the tariff so interrupted
their trade that there ia no encourage
ment to undergo the expense necessary
to prepare an exhibit. They are con-
vinced, they said, that the manufactur-
ers OF the north of France will generally
abstain from exhibiting.
Similar expressions as to the lack of
advantage to French manufacturers and
merchants in making exhibits at the
Chicago exposition were made by many
other exporters and manufacturers.

PARIS, Dec. SIN the debate on the
naval estimates in the deputies today,
Barley, minister of marine, said the
building of ships for the navy continued
with unabated activity, and within ten
years eightyone ships would be built,
including six ironclads and fifty swift
cruisers. Next year the navy would
have over 200 torpedo boats. France,
he said, was the only nation that had
solved the problem of submarine naviga-
tion, and would soon possess a cub
marine navy that would give results as
yet unattained. New quick-fripg guns,
with an effectiveness superior to any,
thing ever before achieved, had been
added to the ornaments of the re-
public. In view of the extent of her
preparations and readiness for war,
France ought to feel secure, he said.
The speech was received with enthusi-
astic applause.
The senate, in spite of Minister Roche's
protest, placed tariff of rs francs on
refined petroleum.

Failure of Crops Not Universal, bu. the
Outlook Is Gloomy.
WARSAW, Dec. SIT is learned on
good authority that the failure of crops
in Russia is not universal. In the
Caucasus the harvest was SO abundant
that grain is rotting at the stations for
want of rolling stock to carry it away.
There is much reason to suppose that
there will be famine next year also.
The autumn wheat was seriously in

that the spring crops in many of the

INDIAN TROUBLES,
An Officer Sent to Investigate at Chey-

ST. PAUL, Dec. 8.--This afternoon
General Merritt sent his aide, Lieut.. o.
J. Brown. First cavalry, to Tongue Riv-
er Indian agency, Montana, to investi-
gate the reported Indian trouble. No
trouble is anticipated, and troops have
merely been sent as a precautionary
measure.
MINNEAPoLIs, Dec. 8. A Tribune
special from Miles City, Mont, says
Three settlers came in from Tongue
river and say that Indians have noticed
surveyors at work locating claims, and
declare that white men shall not hold
ranches within the reservation. Since
the escape of an Indian charged with
murder, the Indians have been ugly as
usual, after an arrest or attempted ar
rest. While they are in most threat
ening mood, no actual hostilities have
yet occurred. A number of troops are
now at the reservation.

a Curious Legal Complication at San
Antonio, Tex.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Dec. S.-There
was considerable excitement here today
over the arrest OF the grand jury.
There is fine of $50 hanging over each
member, imposed by Judge King, who
held that they were in contempt in
serving an attachment on him while he
was on the bench. An attorney acting in
their behalf left here tonight with Pc
tition to the supreme court in session at
Tyler, for a writ of habeas corpus.
Meantime the grand jurymen are in Jail.
An indignation meeting was held by
those in sympathy with the grand jury
tonight: Most of the lawyers say acting
Judge King was correct; that the grand
jury had no right to summon Judge on
the bench to appear as malefactor.
