Rejected suitor's Revenge.

PARIS, Feb. IA tragic affair is re.
ported from Lucerne, Switzerland. A
young French woman &C ,epted as hus-
band an English naval officer. The
husband, after a brief honeymoon, was
summoned abroad and joined his vessel
on a voyage to the east. He left his
bride at Luoerne. promising a speedy
return. Not long ago the young WHERE
ceived a telegram telling her that her
husband had died of the cholera in
India. The blow drove her mad and she
poisoned herself with cyanide. She
died and was buried at Lucerne. The
wife had been dead but q few days when
her husband, hearty and we'll as when
he left her, made his appearance. The
husband was told that his bride was
dead. At first it was feared that his
reason. too, would give way. When he
had gradually recovered they told him
the story of the telegram with the news
of his death. He exclaimed that he
knew who had sent the cruel message,
that it must be q former sutton for the
hand of his wife, who had shown bitter
disappointment and threatened revenge.
He mentioned the name of this person,
and the authorities are quietly ascer-
tanning whether there is evidence to
Justify proceedings. The husband de-
clares that he will not rest until his
wife's murderer, as he calls the parson
whom he suspects. is brought to justlca.

Why They Wanted Esan Recalled.

SANTIAGO DE OH111, Jan. 31.-Several
members of the Chilian cabinet stated
to an Associated Press correspondent
the reason the recall of Egan, United
States minister. was requested last week
was that he had notified Secretary
Blaine that the Ohllian government had
issued safe conduct for the refugees and
had afterwards withdrawn it. Newspa-
pers here publish the dispatch from
Blaine to Eean, received yesterday in
which the United States secretary of
state says Egan never informed him
that safe conduct had been issued for
the refugees. Senior Pereira, Ohilian
minister of foreign affairs, has thanked
Egan warmly for having given him a
copy of the dispatch mentioned. Egan
has received from Blaine q dispatch,
the import of which is similar to that of
the message sent to congress by Presi-
dent Harrison on Thursday. In this
Blaine says the president is Satisfied
with the withdrawal of Senior Matta's
telegram and the request for Egan's re-
call and hopes the affair of the attack on
the Baltimore men in Valparaiso will
be settled amicably. The contents of
this latter dispatch will be conveyed to
Minister Periera by Egau on Monday.

Secretary Blaine,s Reply.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Following is
the text of the cable message sent by
Secretary Blaine accepting Ohili's prop.
ositions for the settlement of the differ
erences between the. two governments:
Department of State, Washington,
Jan. 80, 1892. To Egan, Minister, San
tiago-I am directed by the president
to acknowledge the receipt Of Senior
Periria's note of the 25th inst. It has
been communicated to congress and has
given great pleasure to the people of
the United States and to the executive
department as it restores the CORES
pondence between the two re-
diality and makes, as he believes.
a full and honorable adjustment Of ali
unsettled matters easily attainable. The
expressions Of regret for and the con.
demnation Of the assault upon the sail
ors of the Baltimore, offered by Periria,
and congratnlates the Chilian govern
ment upon the frank and ample with
drawal Of the Malta circular, and upon
the spirit Of Justice displayed towards
Minister Egan. You will assure the
Chilian government that the president
will be glad to meet in the most
generous spirit these friendly overtures.
Believing that the subject of reparation
for the assault upon the seamen of the
Baltimore is now capable of adjustment
between the two governments by the
usual diplomatic methods, the presi-
dent postpones for the present any dis.
oussion Of the suggestions made by
Senior Pereria as to the use of other
methods, not doubling that the sense of

Exam May Be Recalled.

WASHINGTON, D. O.. Jan. 31.-There
is q good reason for believing that as
soon as there is some sort of a definite
settlement of the controversy between
Chill and the United States there will
be an entire change in the diplomatic
representatives of the two countries by
the recall of MI. ERan by the United
States and the recall of Minister Mont
by Chill. The United States would not
recall MI. Egan under pressure, but the
universal courtesy of diplomatic inter
course prescribes that q minister who is
personally unacceptable to the country
to which lie is accredited must be re
called. It is not necessary to give any
reasons The mere statement in the
usual diplomatic phrase that he is per-
soma non grata is sufficient. There is
no doubt that Mr.. Egan is persona non
grata to the Uhilians, and, on the other
hand, since Mr.. Blaine wrote his recent
letter to Minister Montt. it is hard to
see how their official intercourse con be
very pleasant to either side.

Strange story Of a Yankton Man.

Strange Story Of a Yankton Man.
YANKToN, 8. D., Feb. William II.
Leonard was in the Yankton Jail during
nearly the whole of 1883 for horse steal
ing and was finally discharged, the case
never having been brought to trial. He
went to Kansas, committed burglary
and was sentenced to six years in the
pe~nitentisry. Some time prior to his
arrest for burglary q railroad robbery
and murder had occurred and q suspect
was arrested and confined in Jail with
Leonard. The man arrested fer rob-
bing the train and numbering the mes
senger was the real criminal, but he in
duced Leonard to confess that he (Leon-
ard) had committed the crime and
worked to perfection. There being no
case against the suspect, he
was discharged. In 1889 Leon
ard had served his sentence
and was rearrested on the charge of
train robbery and murder, and was con-
voted on his own confession and SEN
fenced to he hanged. He attempted to
prove an alibi and Phil K. Faulk of this
city went to Leavenworth and identified
him as his client who was in the Yank-
ton jail at the time of the Yankton train
robbery. But the board of pardons was
not satisfied and his execution has been
deferred from time to time. Last week

tion, went to Leavenworth and out of
600 men in line had no difficulty in
Identifying Leonard az his guest of nine
years ago, and he will now gain his
freedom.

GRAND FORKS. N. D.. Jan. 81.-The
people of North Dakota have done nobly
in subscribing up to date about 80, 900
pounds of -four for the starving and
famine stricken Russian farmers. As
these subscriptions to this fund are
published in the trade journals through.
ont the United States, showing the
amount contributed by each city, the
people of the state feel a just pride in
trying to make the amount 100, 600
pounds or more. Mayville has donated
II, 500 pounds, Valley City II. 900, Park
River IL, 400. Lidger wood 4, 900, Lisbon
$3.50, and Sheldon 1900. One year ago
eastern friends and sympathizsrs sent
food and clothing to the destitute of
North Dakota. One year ago the people
of North Dakota were poor. Today
they are rich. and from various parts Of
the state are sending from the abund-
ance of their riches material aid to the
famine stricken farmers of Russia. If
all the towns and some of the large
cities would contribute of their abund-
ance the amount would have been in
creased very materially As the time is
very limited. those who desire to con-
tribute should take immediate act on in
granting relief to those famine stricken
sufferers.
