EGAN AND M'GREERY TO BE GIVEN
Leave Of Absence and Quietly Cease Drawing Pay.
Chile Will Not Likely Send Any One 10
Washington to Take Senor Months
Place When He Leaves.
Srlcfal Ttlsran % Me Reotsler.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 14.-It
now appears that although the Govern
ment came to some sort Of an under
standing with Chile a while ago, our
diplomatic relations with that Republic
are to be severed.
II is not expected that minister will
be sent here by the Chilean Government
to succeed Senior Montt, who has gone
home TO enter the Chilean Congress.
The expectation further is that the
leaves of absence granted Minister Egan
and Consul McCreary will be indefinite
ly extended, and that ultimately, with
out publicity being given to the matter,
they will cease to draw pay from this
Government.
1t is understood to be the purpose Of
this department to cease diplomatic re-
lationS with Chile, both countries par
ticipating in the desire-keep out OF
each others company for awhile. But
it is not their purpose TO bring about
the severance OF relations suddenly, and
therefore the simple method OF grant
ing leaves Of absence is resorted to-.
Neither Mr.. Egan nor Mr.. McCreary
are to go back TO Chile.
There was some talk when the consul
lar and diplomatic bill was under con-
sideratiOn in the House Committee, Of
consolidating the Chilean mission with
that OF Bolivia, or reducing the pay Of
the Minister to Chile. One or the other
OF these things would have been done,
it is said, but for the reason that it was
understood in a vague sort of a way that
we would not have any Minister in Chile
very long.
1t is expected that there will be con-
siderable delay in the settlement Of the
claim growing out of the assault upon
the sailors Of the Baltimore, but this
Government will probably make a
modest demand and ultimately the
Chilean Government will make settle

Photograph Taken in Ohio, Found
on his Person.

SAN Francisco, April lA-Sydney
and Melbourne papers received to-day
show that nothing since the early days
Of the settlement OF West Australia hiss
stirred the colony as the discovery OF
Albert Deeming's murder Of his wife
and subsequent developments.
All business was stopped at every
place through which Deeming passed on
his way TO Melbourne. All classes OF
people turned out 10 look at the cr.m-
inal. The crushed and mangled body
OF woman was found In populous
suburb OF Windsor, five miles east Of
Melbourne, March 5, and week later
Deeming was in custody, charged with
the murder. The last occupant OF the
house was a man who gave the name OF
Drew, and he disappeared suddenly.
He complained OF the l6aky condition
OF the walls Of the house, and told the
landlord that he was a practical mAu.
and If he bought some cement he would
patch up the walls himself. He cement
ed his wife upin one OF the walls. Drew
was apparently Of sporting proclivities.
He dressed In the height OF fashion
was bedecked with diamonds and car
ried himself with the air OF Lord. he
was traced 10 the steamship Kaiser
Wilhelm, where he was identified as
Albert Williams, Eight days after the
crime Williams sought another victim
through u matrimonial agency In Mel
bourne and went TO sydney by steamer.
On the voyage he made desperate love
to young lady passenger named Miss
Kate Rounsfell, OF Bathurst, and when
they arrived at sydney she had prom
ised to become his wife. lie was then
travelling under the name OF Baron
Swanson, and In glowing terms pictured
TO her his vast estates and handsome
revenues and made glorious promises
for their future. Step by step detect
ives traced him, aided ia their search
by his ostentatlous display OF diamonds
and general bearing, and his love en-
tanglements with Miss Rounsfell event
ually led 10 his capture.
Swanson, in spite OF the damnIng
proofs against him, declares bis lnno-
cence. A number Of photographs be-
longing 10 the murderer that may prove
clues OF value, have been handed over
10 the police. One Is OF cabinet size
and presents young woman fashion,
ably dressed. It's believed torepreocnt
Mrs. Williams, victim OF the Wlndsor
tragedy. ~
One is that OF young womaI ap-
other OF a lad and another OF an lnhnt
On the photograph OF the woman up-
posed to be the Windsor victim, theiu-
print appears TO have been carefully re-
moved. The other photographs, ~.
cording TO the imprint on their backs,
were taken at Sheffield, White Haven
and Liverpool, England; Ohio, United
States; Sydney, n. 5. W., and Rock
Hampton. Quebec.
Anumber Of Swanson's hats are also
IN the possession Of the police, and these
may play an important part In his trial.
1t has not been established that Deem
ing is the notorious Jack the Ripper"
but five more brutal murders have been
traced 20 him, aud the evidence thus
far gathered points to him As the White

AN ELECTRO WHIP.
\ Jerseyman's Novel Method of Punish
ing Bad Boys.

1t is possible that an investigation
will be made into the affairs OF the
Newark City Home, situated at Verona,
n. j., says the New York Tribune.
The house is intended for the reforma-
tion OF wayward boys and girls, and
stands between the first and second
Orange mountains, and has about 300
inmates, OF whom 100 are girls. 1t is
a city institution, organized under the
laws OF the State OF New Jersey, and
receives boys and girls as young as
seven years, and they remain there
until they are twenty-one unless
in the meantime they can be given to
some Of the farmers 10 the district back
OF Newark. The rules and regulations
of the home are almost as strict as in a
penitentiary.
1t is because of one OF the methods Of
punishment that that the investigation
may be set on foot. 1 has been the
habit Of the superintendent, c. II. Har-
rison, TO use electricity in furnishing
the boys. These extreme measures,
however, have only been applied when
she crime has been an aggravated one,
such as attacking boy with knife or
some similar action.
The method OF treatment is to take
the boy into room on the ground floor
and apply TO the back Of his neck a
sponge attached to an electrOde some
what similar to those used In Sing Sing
prison. The second electrode, in place
Of having a sponge termination, con-
slsts OF number of fine wires in the
form OF a lash. When a current is
turned on from medical battery,
which is used in place of dynamo, the
culprit is struck with the wire lsshes,
and as the wire touches his flesh shock,
though not a severe one, passes through
his body. The wire electrode is ap-
piled TO different parts Of the body in
quick succession, and it is said that the
punishment never has 10 be repeated on
the same boy. Superintendent Harri-
son. in speaking of the matter yester-
day, said:
ut has been the custom for FIVE
years to discipline the boys who are re-
fractory by using an electric brush on
their muscles. The punishment is al
ways administered in the presence Of
the house physician, DR.. Henry b.
Whitehorn. 1t is never dangerous and
merely scares the boy. Il is s very
satisfactory treatment and has never
injured anyone. do not know who in
stltuted 1t at first.

BERLIN, April 14.--An incident which
has just occurred here is indicative OF the
growing German jealousy q American
influence in SpanishAmerlca CONNER
cial affairs.
Germany, after long continued efforts,
at last succeeded In the attempt TO CO.
cree the government Of San Domingo In
the granting to her the same CONNER
cial privileges as those enjoyed by
the United States. q Mr.. Phelps, the
American Minister 20 Germany, unofii-
cially spoke to Baron Marschall Won
Biebestein. the Secretary Af State OF
Foreign Affairs, In favor OF the San Do
mingo, and the result was 20 call forth a
torrent OF adverse criticism from the
German press. The newspapers In
their comments on the matter TO con-
strue the action Of Minister Phelps
into what they are pleased TO term
american overbearance" and all the
editorial utterances are in a similar
strain. The evening papers contain
articles in which tho subject is dealt
with at considerable length, and in
which there are many spiteful filings at
the United States Government
Minister Phelps in stating the object
OF his interview with Baron Won Bieb-
estein, assured the Secretary that he
came to him spontaneously and not by
any instructions he had re-
celved from Washington. In protesting
against the action Of the German Gov
ernmentl he said that IL was ungener-
Gus for a great power like Germany 10
force title of emery like San Domingo
to conclude the treaties with German
Government against the will OF the
United States Government.
Baron Won Bebeibestein In replying
TO Minister Phelps said he was not
aware that the United States govern
ment exercised protectorate for San
Domingo, but that nevertheless Ger
many only claimed rights in regard TO
the matter in question, which was al
ready recogn lied.
