MISSOURI DEMOCRATS.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Feb. 24-The
Democratic state central committee met
here this forenoon in executive session,
and at once took up the diacussion of the
matter of congressional redistricting.
There seems to be AS many opinions as to
the proper boundaries for the new districts
among the members of the committee as
there are among the members of the legis-
lature, and the whole wall of the room in
which tho meeting was held was covered
with maps showing the ideas of the differ
ent members. The discussion of the mat
ter by the state committee in the manner
1t has taken hold of it has created great
deal of unfavorable comment, and the
members of the committee are anxious to
have IL understood that it is not their
purpose to dictate to the legislature
IN the matter. 1t is not probable
that the time and place of hold
ing the state convention will be de-
clded at this meeting The sentiment of
the members seems TO be in favor OF post
poning action till some future time.

BERLIN, Feb. 24.-At banquet given al
Brandenburg, at which Emperor William
was the guest of honor, his majesty made
an address, in which he denounced the
critics of the government as the enemies
of the state. He urged all who loved the
fatherland to follow in the course he had
entered into. Continuing, he said:
Unfortunately, it has now become the
fashion to criticize and nag at every step
taken by the government. The public
peace is disturbed on the most insig-
niticant grounds. and the enjoyment
of life shared by the whole Ger
man fatherland is envenomed. As
result of this nagging and
persecution, many persons have been i'm
bued with the idea that our country Is the
most unhappy and worst governed IN the
world, and that life in such country is A
perfect plague That this is not the case
we of course are well aware. But would
it not be better if the discoutented persons
were to shake the dust of Germany from
their feet, retiring as soon as possible TO
some country where such miserable,
wretched state of affairs does not exist.
They will thus reap an advantage to them
selves. at the same time doing us great
favor"

CENTRAL AMERICAN POLITICS.

CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 24-An official
telegram from Guatemala says that the
rebellion is ended. General Enriquez,
Colonel Enriquez and twenty others have
been shot. and peace is assured
NEW YORK, Feb. PA dispatch from
San Salvador says that the shooting of
General Enriquez has created bitter com
ment there and started stories discred-
liable to President Barillas. The account
sent out by the Guatemalan papers was
to the effect that Enriquez, who was a
prominent candidate for the presidency,
had organized revolt against the gov
ernment, and that he was defeated and
shot as traitor Widely different is the
report that has reached San Salvador from
the opponent sin Guatemala of thespresent
administration. 1t is alleged by them that
President Barillas bore a personal spite
toward General EnriqueZ, and, in revenge,
issued secret orders that he be shot at his
hacienda, under the pretext that he was
at the head of the revolutionary factions.
1t is also rumored at San Salvador that it
would be not unexpected if Barillas should
dispose of all other presidential candidates
in the same way, including General
BarriOs

A DOUBLE MURDER.

HOLDEN, No, Feb. 24.-John aud Will
lam iAyler, brothers. were murdered at
their home, five miles north of kingsvllle,
last night They lived alone, both being
unmarried. The crime was not discovered
until this morning, when a neighbor went
TO the house to transact some business.
The bodies of the two brothers were found
in the front room, chopped literally to
pieces, as if with an axe. A bloody axe,
with which the murder was probably
done, was found in the room The
brothers were well off, aud those who COM
mitted the murder doubtless were inspired
by the motive of robbery. The brothers
were both strong and robust men, which
leads to the belief that more than one per
son was involved in the murder. There is
no clue to the murderers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-The Indian ap-
preparation bill still continues to be the
subject of monotonous consideration in
the house, and will likely absorb the rest
of the week.
The spirit of investigation is still strong

after the meeting of that body today was
the adoption of resolution reported by
Mr.. Tarsney from the labor committee,
authorizing an investigation of the opera
tiCn and effect of the eight-hour law in the
government service. The scope of the in
vestigation is almost unlimited, and it is
likely that searching inquiry will be in
stituted, to last many weeks.
Then the house went into committee of
the whole on the Indian appropriation
bill. Mr.. Bynum OF Indiana occupied the
chair. After dispOsing of forty-slx of the
sixty pages of the bill, the committe rose
