SECOND EYRAuD CASE.
A Man and Woman Arrested for Muir
der at Monaco.

MONACO, March Ga man ami woman
have been arrested here, charged with the
murder Of phy sician last December Their
arrest has caused sensation from two rea-
sons; first, because the murder seems to have
been brutal. cowardly and entirely premedi-
tated and secondly, because the crime is a
counterpart Of that which Michael Eyraud
recently suffered the death penalty In Paris.
From the meagre details obtainably it ap-
pears that in December the dead body Of an
English physician, a DR.. Lindemann, of
Manchester, was found in a ravine near San
Reno. An official investigation was made,
which, 1t was announced, resulted in the au-
thorities Of San Reno coming to the conclu-
STOP that DR.. Lindemann met his death eth
er by his own aci or by accident through fall
ing down the ravine. It now appears that
the police allowed the suicide or accident
tqeory to get abroad in order better to enable
them to follow out the real theory-that of
murder. They patiently followed up the
slight clews which had aroused their suspic-
ions, and gradually wove net of evidence
around the doctors murderers, which yester-
pay resulted in the arrest here of a man and
woman who are charged with having muir
dered DIR. Lindemann. The woman, 1t ap-
pears, lured the physician to her lodgings at
San Reno. As to the way In which he met
his death after the woman had enticed him
into her room little Is actually known here,
the police not yet being prepared to give all
the facts to the public. The arrests have
caused much commotion here. IL has even
been rumored that the man and woman In
custody may have other and similar crimes
charged against them, and that the woman
may have been used to lure other men to
their death.

Comments of Canadian Papers on

A Letter From Hon. Edward Blake
He Says Annexation Is Sure.
Sir Js I'M Macdonald Struck Dumb,
But Full Of Hope.

TORONTO. Ont, March Elm four col
umn letter addressed to the members Of the
West Durham reform convention under date
of February 6. published In this mornings
In this city, Hon. Edward Blake, formerly
leader of the Liberals, gives hisreasons why
he was impelled to decline denomination.
In effect the letter says he Is at variance
with his party on the question at issue, of
unrestricted free trade with the United
States would be towards political union.
The more successful the plan, the stronger
the tendency, both by reason of the commun-
ity Of interests, intermingling Of populations,
more intimate business and social connec-
tions and trade and fiscal relations, amount,
ing to dependency that it would create with
the United States and OF the greater isola-
ton and diyergency from Great Britain. 1t
through the Inconvenience experienced In
apprehensions entertained as to the termin-
tion OF the reciprocity treaty. There Is, he
says, an underlying feeling In the United
conscious. unformulated-d disguised In some
quarters and doubted, deprecated or repudi.
ate1 In others; likely perhaps to be favored
rather by the Republicans than the Demo-
Gratis, yet real, Deep create0 and widespread,
that that some day, sooner or later: political re;
must take place. Not by force, but by
free consent of Its inhabitants.
fhe policy Of absolute free trade between
Canada and the United States Is intimately
connected with and cannot properly be d.
voIced from the questions of Canada's polit-
ical turure, which, therefore, 1t must force
into the party field. Concluding, he says,
the public are not now ready for fair and
candid discussion of the question.
The letter was withheld from publication
until this morning, because of the probable
effect 1t might have on liberal voters.

town meeting in which he thought, should
the bill become a law, the effort now nearly
universal to secure the best men for town
offices irrespective of party, would be defeat

the bill relating to nominations, claiming
that In this respect the bill was cumbersome
and confusing. AS an illustration of what
he deemed the inconsistency of the law, Mr..
Harris pointed out that while In his own
town of little over 5000 inhabitatants, an
official ballot would be necessary, in the ad-

believed that If the members of the legisla-

After series of thorough tests the experts
reported that that the copper was Of pure
quality, aad expressed the belief that the
lode was at least a mile in extent Subse-

results warranting the belief that other lodes
