from the guns of Venezuela war chip
while on visit to Malacuto in private

been the scene of several sanguinary

A Young Husband Shoots His Wife and
Himself, in Fresno.
FRESNO, Cal, Oct. B.-Two pistol shots,
a bullet in the scalp of a wife and one in
the skull of husband composed the ex-
citing episode in the life OF a young mar
ried couple in this city tonight. The
parties have been living on the third
floor of the Kutner-Goldstein block. on 1
street, for about year. At about 80
O'Clock this evening they quarreled. 1t
was brought to sudden termination by
the husband, Alfred E Hunt, drawing a
revolver and discharging it at his wife's
forehead as she was sitting on a
lounge. Fortunately for her, his
nerves were unsteady and the bullet
intended for her brain struck high and
plowed furrow in her scalp, just above
the place where the hair meets the fore
head. Then, without moments hesi-
tation, the infuriated man pointed the
inhicting a wound which may prove
fatal. The wife was stunned by the shot,
and the husband fell to the floor after
making target of himself. The report
of the shots brought a number of peo-
pie to the scene. and the pistol was &C.
cured and the doctor sent for.
A determined attempt was made to
hush the affair up, and no reporters
were permitted to see either Mr..
as Mrs. Hunt. 1t is stated, however,
that Hunt has been jealous Of his wife
for some time, apparently without
cause, and that they have quarreled be-
fore this. His wife this evening, in
conversation with doctor, attributed
the occurrence to streak Of insanity in
her husband. She said he had fall
some years ago, which injured his head,
and since that time he has been subject
to fits OF insanity. She eaid nothing of
bis being jealous or of their having

THE DALTON TRAGEDY.
LARGE CROWDS VIEW THE BODIES
OF THE BANDITS.
Emmett Dalton Still Alsve-He Confesses
Number of Crimes Committed
by His Brothers Bob
and Graf.

CoFFEYvILLE, Kan, Oct. 6.-The
streets today were packed with crowds
of excited people from the surrounding
country, attracted by the Dalton tragedy
of yesterday. The four dead bandits
lay in coffins in the city hall this morn
ing, with guard to see that they were
not disturbed. Crowds we're attracted
to view the bodies by morbid curiosity.
The stairway leading to the room
where Emmett Dalton lies was surround
ed by crowd of men and women, en-
deavoring to persuade the guard to
allow them to see him. He is weak
from loss of blood. His wounds were
dressed this morning. In conversation
with areporter lie said that Bob put up
the job last Saturday and prevailed on
the rest to take part in it, though they
were opposed to it. believing it was not
feasible. They were short OF funds, and
were preparing to leave the country, as
they were being closely pressed.
The bodies of Bob and Grattan Dalton,
Tom Evans and Jack Moore were taken
to Emmett's bedside this morning, and
he identified them. He shed tears when
he saw his dead brothers. The names
of the last two are not their real names,
which are withheld from the public for
what the officials say are good reasons
he dead bandits we're buried this att
ernoon in the city cemetery in a lot
owned br the Dalton family. The bodies
were carried to the graves in wagons,
without single mourner or sympathiz-
ing friend.
The robbers had secured $20.240 from
the First National bank and $4,000 from
Congdon's. The amount recovered was
in excess of this, confirming Emmett's q
statement that the robbers had 5000 of
their own money.
1t is now thought that only five men
were in the raid. If true. the entire
gang is exterminated.
The body of Lucius Baldwin was taken
to Burlington, Kansas, this morning !;
that of Charles Browne will be sent to
Hurley, s. D. The funerals of Marshal
Connolly and George Cubine were held
this afternoon.
Emmett Dalton has made a sworn
statement that Bob and Graf were con-
cerned in California robbery, also in
the Adair robbery several weeks ago.
At IL O'Clock tonight Emmett Dalton
was still alive, but suffering great agony
from his wounds. Cashier Ayers will
probably recover. A party who started
in pursuit of Allie Ogee returned today,
having lost track of the fugitive.

for a wider Interpretation of our consti-
tuition than mere terms OF construc-
ton. Is the constitutional system OF
this country confined to the mere words
Of that instrument, or do we enjoy that
constitutional liberty which the pill
grim fathers sought? I don't believe
the constitutional theory of this country
began when that constitution was adopt
ed. II had its origin in the cabin Of the
May flower. That constitutional system
holds as fundamental truth the theory
that taxation without representation is
tyrannical. Ii this reciprocity system
of Mr.. Blaine's, with its vicious and un-
constitutional encroachment on the life
of the American people, were to bring
untold millions into every city of the
union, the wealth would have been pur-
chased at great sacrifice of the institu-
tions which made us what we
are, and which unfold to us
the destiny we hope to accomplish. The
reciprocity clause is not a broadening,
but restriction of the free list. II the
interests of the American people require
that these articles be placed on the free
list, why should the necessities of
American labor be made subject to
dicker with few feeble South American
states?'
Cochran spoke of the merchant
marine, which he said was originally
destroyed by the Republicans, and dis
cussed the force bill at length.

MRS. HARRIsoN's CONDITION.
There Is Little Hope for the Lady OF the
White House.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 6.-Aside
from the usual changes characteristic of
consumptive cases, there is no particu-
lar alteration in the condition of Mrs..
Harrison. Her right lung is entirely
consolidated, so she has no use OF it
whatever. The left lung is now in
volved. Although anxious for prolonged
life, the patient does not exhibit the
cheerfulness and hopefulness usually go
apparent in the case of consumptives.
This is due to the extreme nervous ex-
haustion from which she suffers. This
extreme prostration has been one great
cause which operated against her
rallyiDg. The most notable result of
her illness is her great emaciation.
Before she was taken i'll Mrs. Harrison
weighed 1877 pounds, and it is said she
has lost during her prostration between
40 and so pounds.
BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 6.-The Epis-
copal conference tonight ordered trans-
