Died in a Distant Land,

The particulars OF the death of John
F. Swift, Uiited States minister to
Japan, arrived at San Francisco, CAL,
on the 7th inst, on the steamer Rio
de Janiero. Mr.. Swift had been pros
trated by an attack OF influenza early
in the year, but was supposed to have
entirely recovered. On March 10 he
complained OF q pain in the region of
his heart, and went to bed. That
night while talking to Mrs. Swift he
suddenly expired without further
waning. Death was attributed to
heart failure. The body WAS taken
to Yokohama, where it was received
with great honors. AS the funeral
procession reached Yokohama minute
guns were fired from the United
States steamship Alliance. The
funeral arrangements were made
by the American colony and were par.
ticipated in by the Japanese officials,
the foreign diplomatic corps, the
American legation, Admiral Belknap
and staff The funeral services were
held in the American Episcopal church
at Toxic March l3. The coffin was
draped with tho United States flag
and was covered with flo wers. Some

Reciprocity With Canada.

Hon. William Mckinley is in Wash
lngton and his presence gave founda-
tion to a rumor that negotiations
with the Canadian reciprocity COM
missioners were broken off by McKin-
lsy's request. The Washington Post
says: ''It is a significant coincidence
that Maj. Mckinley hurried to the
White House as soon as he heard the
Canadians were here. At the same
time it is well known that the protec-
tionists who look with favor upon
reciprocity with South American re-
publics are disposed to guard with
jealous care the interests OF our peo-
pie along our Canadian border.
Therefore it is surmised that Mai.
Mckinley visited the president to
urge that those business interests
be not disturbed by another
tariff agitation such as would
result from q discussion OF reci-
procity with Canada" / called on
Mai. Mckinley concerning the abov e
statement and he said: II called on
the president on business, but did not
mention reciprocity. favor recipro-
city with eqaulity, but do not see what
Canada has to offerus BRAZIL has tea,
coffee, sugar, hides, etc, to offerus, but
we can only deal with Canada by
treaty, which must be ratified by the
senate because the Canadians are diff
erent. The negotiations will consume
considerable time. There will be no
immediate reciprocity with Canada.
Nevertheless I had nothing to say to
the president about it"

The Italy Affair.

The New York Times says: Senator
Washburn, OF Minnesota, was at the
Fifth Avenue hotel on the 7th inst.
Speaking Of the withdrawal OF Baron
Fava, he said: "Italy made q mis-
take which will react upon her. Ameri-
cans go there in thousands every year
and spend millions 'of dollars in travel,
in art and in the other luxuries which
that country has to offer. AS busi-
ness proposition Italy's action was a
mistake. 1t will react on Italians in
this country. They were none too
popular before.
"There is a lession in the behavior,
OF the Italians IN this country which
ought not to be overlooked. The
Italian press, almost without excep-
ton, took sides with Italy. Some ut
terances were very bitter against our
own government. 1t should be borne
in mind that the editors of these pa
pers are supposedly the most intelli-
gent and best educated OF the nation
ality in America. Many OF them, if
not all, have become citizens of the
United States and have sworn allegi-
an to this government, and yet, at the
instance that the trouble began, on a
hurried survey and without an under
standing OF the merits OF the case, APP
parently, they at once sided with their
home government. This is q signifi-
can't thing. American citizens may
well inquire if this line OF policy would
be followed by other nationallties.
Suppose it had been Germany instead
OF Italy, and the German press had
done Its best to arouse sympathy for
the empire against the government of
their adoption, it would have been a
serious matter lido not believe the
rule would hold with the Germans,
but the question cannot help suggest
ing itself.
'"This incident will be beneficial in
it's results. believe that one result
will be O. change i'll the immigration
laws. Something should be done to
prevent foreign nations from dump
ing their outlaws and criminals
into this country. The present law,
which allows us to send back paupers
and Others who are recognized as un-
desirable, IS locking the door after the
horse has been stolen The sitting
prosess should begin earlier. Ibelieve
law should be passed which would
require the immigrant to procure a
certificate OF good character from the
American consuls abroad. This would,
OF course, necessltate an increase in
the consular service, but that would
not be an undesirable feature. 1t
would give added dignity and impor-
tance to the representatives of the
United States abroad.
"Thls matter will be a basis for ap-
propriations for an American navy
and coast defences which we shall
hear from in the next congress-"

Myrtle's injuries extended from knees
to shoulders and she suffered greatly
till about 8 o'clock, when she expired.
The baby, a child OF 10 months, Was

the floor while she herself was burning
and placed the baby between the
feather bed and straw tick, smother

Welded and Killed.

A distressing tragedy occurred at

Anton Henry WAS married at the resi-
dence Of the BRIDES parents, and there
was throng Of friends present, who
had merry time. In the midst OF
the festivities the bride and groom
started for their carriage to take the

guests crowded to the door with rice
and old shoes to bid the couple God
speed. Henry Metz, a friend OF the
groom, took q revolver from his pock-
ct, which he thought was loaded only
with blank cartridges and meant to
fire salute. He is believed to have
been somewhat the worse for wine.
H. discharged the weapon and Henry
fell dead to the sidewalk. Metz had
fired too low. The bride is frantic
with grief. Metz was arrested.

set, testified that he was suffering
From pertrophy of the heart. 1t might
have been possible FOR him to have
walked fifteen miles, but not hastily,
as described, as that would have been
fatal. On Aug. 10, however, they
were sentenced to death, and then be-
gau another legal fight for pardon, for
reprieve and freedom that has no
parallel in this section. Neither
time nor money was spared, and
the father OF the boys, who
had been well off, mortgaged his
splendid farm to the limit in engag-
ing the best counsellor the fight against
q verdict that at the time met with
popular approval. A juror, j. w.
Beck, repented OF the verdict which he
says they were forced to find to meet
popular indignation. He wrote a let
ter declaring the evidence was not suf-
ticent; then came q confession that
created sensation. 1t Was sworn to
before Justice King, OF Middle Creek
township, and was signed by John
Beach, who swore Umberser had been
shot in a scultle before his eyes while
he and a mah named Miller, who was
drownedin the Johnstown flood, were
taking the old mans money. Incl
dents mentioned in the Beach confes-
sion were authenticated by men he
mentioned. Added to all this, counsel
for the doomed men seemed convinced
OF their innocence, but time and again
the pardon board refused to act in this
most remarkable case.
Then followed o bold break forliber-
ty. The first attempt to escape was
frustrated in the summer of 1889. In
September OF the same year Turnkey
Mcmillan was surprised by the two
men, and III u scutile was seriously,
but not fatally, shot in the side. The

er prisoner named Queen, they broke

tance, and broke his leg in two places.
David crawled mile from the Jail, in
to Farmer Fenner's barn, where weak
ness and pain caused him to give up,
while Joe was found in another barn,
fully two miles from the Jail. He was
badly frozed, and both mer must
have suffered intensely. 1t WAS soon
after this that Joe began to actqueer-
ly, and in consideration OF his health,
suffering and agony OF mind, opinion
is still about evenly divided as to the
mans sanity. All this time there
has not been even hint OF confession
from either OF the prisoners. They
say they have nothing to tell and
that they made the efforts to escape
simply because the idea of being hang
ed for q crime they never committed
is unbearable. AT the last moment
another appeal was made to the gov
ernor for clemency, the counsel stat
ing that they had clew to the where
abouts ofthe mysterious Beach, whose
confession created such q sensation,
and not until the drop fell was the
idea Of pardon abandoned

COmmegSsal Attaches.

The French go8,rnment has definite
ly decided upon taking most impor-
tant step in the direction of improv-
ing the sources OF information at the

though the necessary information was
always to be:had from the embassy
at Washington, for instance, it was
not always OF that completely techni-
cal character which the case demand
ed. Consequently the French govern
ment has now come to the det ermina-
ton to appoint to all it's embassies and
legations abroad, in addition to other
attaches, officers who will be known
as commercial attaches. The duties
OF this new class of ATTACHES will be
similar to those OF the military and
naval attaches now forming part OF
the staff OF a legation OF embassy,
with the difference, however, that,
while the military and naval attaches
devote their time to the study and re,
cord OF improvements, etc, in the

the commercial attaches will turn
their attention entirely to the study

to be ready to make any investiga,
tions or answer any questions con
cerning the commercial affairs OF the
country they reside in.

has long been urged by merchants in
France, will eventually lead to addi

alton OF the French academic palms,

emy," for her valuable writings upon

Miss Anna Sewall is said to have re-
ceived the idea OF writing the famous
book, "Black Beauty" while driving a
guest to the station, who quoted to
her from an essay Oh animals by DR..
Howard Bushnell, OF Hartford. For
many years she felt that cit was worth
while to try, at least, to bring the
thoughts OF men more into harmony
with the purposes OF God on this sub
ject."
An exchange says that Kansas has
reason to be proud of her women Of
fice-holders. Mrs. kellogg, OF that
State, makes an admirable Attorney
General, and Mrs Salter, who Is now
serving her second term as Mayor of
Argonia, is SAID to have done all the
housework for her family of five peo-
pie, as well as given due attention to
her public and social duties during
her tenure OF Office.

A Daring Robbery.

About 8 o'lock on the night OF the
, 9TH inst, six men entered the E'arwell
House cafe at Chicago, and seated
themselves at tables. After they had

head and ordered him to throwup his
hands. The other men gathered
around John Dulude, the cook, and
warned him to keep quiet. The men
who had Blivens under cover then
seized the cash register, and while one
of them went out the door with the
box the other kept his revolver level
ed at Blivens' head. Then the thieves
backed out and started down the
street. Dulude overlook the man
with the cash, who dropped the regis

are Mrs. Howard Doyle and Miss Jes-

Doyle was despondent and prevailed
upon Miss Ridgeley to commit suicide
at the same time. The bodies of the
women were found in lonely part of
the town. Over the heart ofeach was
a bullet-hole. They were clasped in
each others arms nnd between them
was revolver. Their hats hung on a
post near at hand; Their cloaks had
been neatly folded and served rs head
rests and to each cloak was pinned
notes to various friends. One letter
expressed the desire that they be bur-
led in the same grave. None OF the
letters gave the reason for the rash
act, only "death is sweet and we pre-
fer it to life."
