HATE AND MALICE.
These Said to Have Killed a Chi
caGo Norman

CHICAGO, April 3.-"The law can
send me to jail, but it cannot affect the
cause of Christian science. AS for my
self, do not fear; the Lord will take
care of me-" These words were spoken
today by Mrs. r. L. Stebblns, the Chris
tian scientist. who is locked up at the
armory in connection with the death of
Mrs. Jennie l.. Nichols, OF 1873 Wabash
avenue. Mrs. Steb61nS is a fluent
talker, with an exceptionally good COM
mand of the English language. She is
given to the frequent use of metaphor,
and makes evident in every thing she
says the implicit faith in the doctrine
in which she was first educated four
years ago by Mrs. Eddy. of Boston.
"Some might wonder why | am so
happy in a prison cell,' she continued.
"Why, if you were to lock preacher
up in here you would have fearful
time with him. Pm not that way. l
am not in the hands of the police, but
tended to employ lawyer. Foolish
question. What do want with a law
yer? Almighty God wl.l try my case,
and | am afraid of no judge or jury"
How do you account for the death of
your patient?" she was asked.
Mrs. Nichols death was caused by
malice and hate, nothing else. If had
been allowed to do as | desired and in
tended, she would be well and alive
today. One of the papers has quoted
Mrs. Jones as saying that we
could restore life In the body after
death, but [ don't think Mrs. Jones ever
said such thing. Such statements are
absurd and diSgraceful. | want it dis

do not believe in hypnotiSm, but in the
higher science, of which God is the

enemy. Mrs. Nichols died through
hate and malice, repeat, and her death
in no way discourages me-"
"By whom was the hate and malice
borne?"
"By the people in the house. They
were opposed to my methods, and took
every step to thwart me. They turned
me over to the police, and harassed me
in every way they could. Now they

PANIC AT CARACAS.
A Bomb Thrown Very Near Pres
ident Palacio.

NEW YORK, April 3.-1ne Herald'5
Caracas, Venezuela, cablegram says
President Palacio has had very mar
row escape from death by dynamite.
The other evening bomb was thrown
by some unknown persons at the Casa
Amarillo, or presidents yellow house,
which is one of the most notable edlficeS
in Caracas, and corresponds to the
White house at Washington. Palacio
was then in one of its rooms comforting
with some of his leaders as to the plan
of campaign against Gen. CreSpO and
his army of rebels. The bombs ire
mendous defamation caused q fearful
panic. Such citizens as had the temerity
TO be out of doors at that hour
rushed to the nearest place of refuge,
fearing that insurgents had entered
Caracas and scene of pillage and car
mage was to ensue. All the windows of
the houses i'll the neighborhood were
quickly filed with blanched faces,
The telephone at once notified the
police of the attempted assassination,
and in a short time they dashed up to
the Casa Amarillo. The troops also hur-
ried to the scene. They drew up in
front of the Yellow house and remained
on guard throughout the night. All the
window panes in the building were
smashed. Palacio was unhurt, but
pretty badly frightened. The with
drawal from all other parts of the city,
both of the police and military, to pro-
tect the president, gave the revolution
lists concerned in the plot every chance
to escape. When search was made for
them not a trace could be found. MI
merOus partisanS of Crespo took adj
vantage of the situation. wnen the armed
guards were summoned to the Yellow
house to leave the city with the inten-
ton of joining the rebels.
1t is rumored that on the morning
following the bomb explosion Palaci0's
family privately left the capital. All
of the members of the federal council
are in Jail. Everybody of any prOmi-
nence is in constant fear of his personal
safety. The slightest suspicion is
enough to cause the arrest of the most
prominent residents of Caracas. Gen.
CreSpo is with Manzalo at Carlos. They
have large army Of lancers and 1.500
infantry. The surrounding country is
level, and a fight there would be nearly
all to the advantage of the lancerS. 1t
is hardly probable that the government
troops will dare to give battle to the
enemy in Cojedes.

AN INFANT MURDERED,
But Who Did 1t Is Not Yet
known,

Known.
CHICAGO, April 3.-What is believed
to have been a murder was unearthed
by the police at 1901 Wabash avenue to-
day. The house is occupied by Mrs.
Paine, who rents furnished rooms. A
few days ago she noticed a stencil IN
the attic of the house, ana today it be-
came so offensive that she reported
the matter at the Cottage Grove
police station. The officers went to the
house and forced open the attic, which
had been nailed up. Tha stencil was so
great that it was difficult to enter the
room. The officers discovered bundle
lying in one corner. 1t was wrapped up
in muslin cloth, which was covered
with blood stains. The bundle was un-
wrapped and was found to be the body
of three-months-old male child. De-
composition had so far advanced that the
fingers of the dead infant were drop
ping off, and the flesh dropped from
the bones when the body was moved.
Across the abdomen of the child was a
cash four inches long, evidently inflicted
with knife. Mrs. Paine said she did not
know Of any one who had lived in the
house during the past three months who
had given birth to child on who would
be interested in putting child out of
the way. The police have no doubt
that the child was murdered. and they
are now looking for the murderer.

is SMITH TO RESIGNS
State Department Officials Give
Out No Information.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Nothing def
mite can be learned here in regard to the
published statement to the effect that
Charles Emory Smith, minister to Rus
STA, will resign upon his arrival in the
United States. Secretary Blaine, when
shown the publication tonight, declined
to say anything in regard to it. State
department officials cannot throw any
light upon the reported resignation, but
say that Minister Smith had been granted
leave of absence, but they were not in
formed as to when he would take adj
vantage of the leave granted. One high
official said tonight that if Mr. Smith
resigned it would be source CT much
regret at the department. A remark
made by that official, which might give
strength to the report. was in substance.
that it had been a difficult matter to
keep minister at the Russian post.
For some reason they soon tired of their
charge. The first secretary of the
United States legation at St. Peters
burg, who has held that position for the
past eight years, added the official, has
on a number of occasions acted in the
capacity of charge d. affaires of the le-
cation.

CAPTAINS DISSATISFIED.
British Seamen Want to Go Seal
Hunting.

VICTORIA, B. c., April 3. - The
steamer Mystery arrived yesterday af-
ternoon from the west coast. 1t reports
the sealer Minnie waiting at San Juan
over month for the Indians. who are
too scared to go aboat, having been
threatened with American gunboats,
ETC., if they go North. They are also
afraid even to assist in shipping
stores on the sealers. The Mystery has
taken 800 skins to Victoria and the Pho
neer 200. The captains of the sealers
are dissatisfied with the customs au-
thorities as TO their claims for compen-
sation. Their papers lie at the custom
house here ana they cannot get them.
Two captains came down tonight to act
for the rest and endeayor to get their
papers, so as to comply with the fresh
demands for information as to the de-
tails and the nature of the claims. All
are disposed to take no notice of the
warning that any action is at their own
risk.
The flagship Warspite returned to
port this morning, month earlier than
was expected. Admiral Hotham says
the intention was to have gone to Hon
Olulu before coming to ESquimault for
tAe SuiillutI, DuI having lulol NAHUM
that large party of suDernumeraries
would arrive during April atEsquimault
and hearing so much through the pa
pers of the prospects of the modus vi
vendi, he sailed for British Columbia
direct. Dispatches awaiting him here
contained no reference to the Behring
sea matter, and the future movements of
the squadron are not definitely decided.
AS far as known none will go to the
Behring sea, though it is thought posi-
Bile that the Warspite is here before the
arrival of advices for the admiral.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The house
will devote the greater part of this week
to the consideration of the tariff. To-
morrow Mr.. Wilson, of West Virginia.
will close the general debate on the
Democratic side, and for Mr.. Springer
move vote on the pending bill. 1t is

at the latest, but no advantage, 1t IS
said, will be taken Of the suspension
rule tomorrow. The binding Irvine bill
will be taken up upon the passage
of the free wool bill, provided the
house should not decide to side
track it for an appropriation bill. is
altogether probable that the members
interested in measures on the private
calendar will make strong effort to Sc
cure the regular order on Friday for
that purpose. This the house may de-
feat, as it is the plan of the managers to
hasten the consideration of the tariff
bills as rapidly as possible. On Satur-
day euiogies will be delivered III men,
ery of the late Melbourne H. Ford, of
Michigan. The prospect for silver leg
islation in the house is decidedly poor,
the boasts of the silver men to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, nor is it probable
that the ardent advocates of the free
silver bill will go so far as to attempt to
obstruct all measures except the
tariff bill if their efforts to
secure consideration for their
pet measure are disregarded. The less
radical element of the silver advocates
believe that it would be both poor policy
and poor politics to Mibuster against
measures of paramount national i'm
portance and to 20 to the extreme OF
attempting to block necessary legisla-
ton.
The senate has resolved to devote two
uninterrupted days during the coming
week to the consideration of bills on the
calendar. How far this intention will
be interfered with by the debating
school on the silver question. as Mr..
Sherman terms the prospective debate
on the Morgan resolutions, remains to
be seen. Appropriation bills also have
to be taken into consideration. Ihey
have the right of way at any time.
Inc lnQldn Ulll is uot Set Coih-
pleted. MIR. Dawes wants another
vote on the question of authorizing the
president 10 appoint army officers as In

with discretionary modification, when
there was barely quorum in attend
anee. Mr.. Dawes hopes to secure the
compulsory retention of civilian agents
as at present, if he can get the question
before a full senate. Mr.. Allison has
bill ready for presentation. Its consid
Grafton is likely to occupy two or three
DAYS at least. Between these opposing
forces the general bills of the calendar
will probably stand poor show, as Mr..
Stewards free coinage bill is high up on
the list, and he has given notice OF his
intention to call it up tomorrow.

New YORK, April 3.-The Herald
Buenos Ayres special says: This city
tonight is in condition of excitement
that is we'll nigh indescrbable. The
crisis in the political struggle that has
been carried on for months past with so
much bitterness has nearly been
reached. Tomorrow may witness such
scenes Of violence as have not taken
place in this city for long time. The
government appreciates the gravity of
the situation. All the troops are
gathered in the central part of the city.
They have received orders to act with
promptness at the first note of warning.
The police are all On duty. They are
also under instructions. Thousands of
desperate men, enemies of the admins
tration. in all parts of the city. are
armed. According to the most reliable
accounts dynamite will play promi-
nent part III any riot that may be
started. 1t is known that a
large quantity of bombs has
been Struggled into the city.
Nearly all the radical clubs are said to
have the bombs secreted, and some of
their most daring spirits have been
drilled in the use of the most deadly
and destructive weapons. RumOrs Of
plots increase at most alarming rate.
The latest is about conspiracy to muir
der President Pelligrini, ex-President
Roca and ex-Presldent Mitre, the last
two of whom had been prominently
mentioned as candidates for the chief
magistracy, but who resigned in favor
of Saenz Pena. When this report
reached the government the police chief
was ordered to arrest every one who
was suspected of completely in the plot.
They took some of the most prominent
radical leaders in the city into custody.
Among them was DR.. Alem, of the
Union Civica, the organization that for
years has been fighting the Celman,
Peligrini and Roca factions. The po-
lice have raided several of the radical
clubs aud discovered bombs. The pres
dent today issued decree declaring a
state of siege in the entire republic.
The basis of Pierola's hostility toward
the present government is the supine-
ness of the Peruvian government in
making no effort to recover the provinces
lost to Chilli. 1t is believed that he is
backed in the agitation by NJ. Dreyfuss.
Troops have been sent out from Tacna
to suppress the rebellion, and an en-
gagement is likely to take place soon.

CHICAGO, April 3.-Saturday was the
first day of the investigation of the
mess hall at Fort Sherida. Col Heyl.
the Missouri, began the investigation
yesterday morning under orders from
Gen. Miles, and devoted the greater
part OF the day to hearing complaints
from the men. When he had patiently
listened for two hours to the same story
from each Of forty men Of bad and in
sufficient food, he became convinced
that there must be something wrong
with the management of the mess hall.
Col. Heyl set up secret court, con-
Sisting of himself and his Stenographer,
in Col. Crofton's private Office. One by
one the soldiers were admitted, and
each allowed to take as much or little of
the inspectors time as he wished. The
majority of them were recruits, who had
seen but few months service. The
complaints from these evidently did not
greatly impress the inspectors, but
when 4 griZZled veteran, who had seen
twenty years of service in every part of
the United States, stated that the mess
at Fort Sheridan was the worst he had
ever seen, and not to be compared TO
mess in the field in active service even,
the inspector made special note Of his
complaint, and it seemed to have great
weight with him.
81 want to complain of the quality
and quantity of the food served in the
mess hail." was the almost invariaOle
preface of the statements made by each
complainant. "The food is bad to begin
with. 1t is frequently but half-cooked,
and served so poorly that it is almost
always cold when it reaches the table.
The scraps which are left over are used
in hash the next day. and this is gener-
ally so strong and red0lent that it is I'M
possible to eat it,"
One private testified that all he got
for supper one night was a dish of apple
sauce and two biscuits. Another said
that one morning, after having been
out all night, all he received
was plain bread and cheese and
coffee. Another said he had been
threatened with court martial, because
he had dared to ask that piece of ba
con that had been given him be changed
because it was so fat he could not eatit
A non commissioned officer brought a
charge of misrepresentation of funds
against the post saloon. 81 would like
to know" he said, "what has become of
the profits of the 'canteen.'"
The inspector could not tell him, but
promised to look into the matter. 1t is
estimated that these profits would aver
age $500 a month, and they should have
been divided among the companies.

that, if the class referred to desired it,
