English Liberal Platform.

LONDON, November 24.-The liberal lead
ers have decided to incorporate in the plat
form approved at the Newcastle conference
the English tenants rights bill. This deci-
sion is one of the most important steps tho
party has ever taken. The question of amel-
ioratng the condition of the british farmers
by giving them greater security for their
capital and freedom from the harrassing
covenants imposed by landlords, has long
been recognized as ripening toward liberal
legislation. The magnitude of the liberal
victory in South Molten, and the conviction
of the capture of the rural vote by the llber-
ais will lead them to overwhelming success
in the general elections, have lifted the meas
ure in favor of tenant farmers into the front
rank of liberal proposals. This resolution
on the part of the liberals has been fastened
by the movement of the conservatives in the
same direction.
The history of the conservative party pre-
sents no change more surprising or more
sudden than that which has occurred on the
English land question. under the fear of
what would happen to the landlords inter-
ests through an uprising of the laborers and
farmers to the liberal banners.

In thirty five central counties the percentage

In th;rty-two western counties the acreage
sown is 1868 per cent. of that of 1890, the

Disasters on okobojO Creek.

1t is one of the unexplainable mysteries
of existence that misfortune seems TO hang
about certain localities Okobojo creek runs
through Sully county, S. D.. and seems to
be a veritable stream of disaster. The
other day young VIII Ross was killed on
its banks by the explosion of his gun.
Near this same spot, says the st. Paul
Globe, in the summer of 1885 two young
ladies, Misses Walter and Kenney, were
drowned while bathing. Within a few
rods stood the house of William NcCune,
which was destroyed by fire in the summer
of 1887, during the absence of both parents,
and three young children cremated. Later,
one DR. Veazie attempted suicide on this
same spot. he afterward died from the
effects of the poison. Within short dis
tance man named Porter was killed by
lightning. In the same locality George
Henderson was frozen 10 death. A school

Mrs John A Logan last evening, who Is

said: 81 am here to see General Alger in
regard to the monument to be erected to

ington should like to have the monu-
ment ready for unwilling when the Grand
Army meets at Washington next year, but
! fear that there is not time enough to do
DO. General Alger has promised me to ask
the committee to meet in Washington at
an early day to ask for designs. There are
a number who will offer designs, and /
should prefer that the choice be given to
an American if possible. The location has
already been chosen by congress in Iowa

Thomas and General Mcpherson. General
Logan was chosen as the type of the vol
unteer soldier, and everyone is anxious on
that account that the monument should
be worthy one. For my part ] wish 1T to
be imperishable; l want it to be bronze
and granite. think that there is nearly
enough money raised for the purpose now,
and whatever is wanting i shall see that
it is made up 1t is to that that l shall
devote my remaining years.

NEW York, Sept. 15.-The Post says:

ents in London are eagerly watching for a

ter had poisoned the prince and herself
She adds the most shocking details of the
ignominious treatment of her daughters
corpse.
This story was published simultaneously
in the London Times and New York
World, and was followed next day by the
semiofficial account of well known
former member of the Austrian court"
He says that the Baroness Vetsera Is one Of
a family of Levantines, native to Constan-
tinople, the three sisters married to Aus
trian noblemen and the three brothers
holding good positions, but none of the
women recently admitted to really good
society. He adds that the baroness began
to speculate on her daughters beauty
when the latter was fourteen years old and
involved Prince Rudolph in tolls from
which there was no escape but death, as
his wife, the Princess Stephanie, had vir-
tually separated from him.
The worst tale comes last. The court
official broadly hints that soon after arriv-
ing from Constantinople Baron Vetsera
was sent away on official business, his wife
became the mistress of the Emperor Fran
els Joseph, and Marie was their child, the
half sister of her paramour, Rudolph
This fact was not certainly known to her
parents till after the intimacy was estab-
lished. When the emperor learned of his
sons infatuation for Marie he sent for him
at once and convinced him that she was
his half sister. The doubly criminal low
ers retired to the secluded lodge and by
mutual consent ended the horror with their
lives. Such are the stories of two who
ought to know.

THE GREAT AUSTRIAN SCANDAL.
Two Statement Regarding the Suicide OF
Rudolph and Marie,

Two Statements Regarding the Suicide OF
Rudolph and Marie,
All the world was shocked on learning,
the last of January, 1889, that Crown
Prince Rudolph, prospective emperor OF
Austria-Hungary, had bean found dead IN
his private room at Mayerling, in the
beautiful forest known rs Wiener Wald
The shock deepened into general horror
when it was added that the mangled corpse
of the beautiful Baronne Marie Vetsera
lay beside him on the couch, and that both
had died by shots from the same pistol.
In vain did the Austrian count employ
every device TO conceal or mlslead. The
story that the prince had died of apoplexy
was at once rejected-too many had seen
the bodies The next explanation was
that be had been murdered by jealous
husband and the statement as to Mares
corpse was fatty denied. 1t was soon
known that her body had been dressed as
if in life, that two stalwart officials had
walked to carriage with II between them,
that it sat upright in the seat as they drove
away, and was buried with extraordinary
secrecy-all this between midnight and
o'clock But too many were interested,
and each succeeding story grew more hor-
rible.
At length the Baroness Vetsera, mother
of the unfortunate Marie, has come cut
with long account of what she claims to
be the facts, an account full of horrors,
and an Austrian official has promptly re-
piled to it with one still more horrible.
The baroness says that her daughter was
inveigled into an intrigue with Prince
Rudolph by the Countess Larish, in 1888,
when Marie was but seventeen years old,
the object of the countess being to obtain
money from the prince The mother adds
that Marie was finally abducted and that
for many days her family had do knowl-
