frontier
IN CONFLICT WITH TREATY RIGHTS.
Bangkok, Oct. 2.-Foreign residents of
this city consider several articles in the
convention to be in conflict with existing
treaty rights. The convention was ac-
cepted only after strong protests
from Siam. Prince Devanwagons,
Slamese minister of foreign affairs,
at the last conference handed M. Develle
astrong form of remOnstrance, But the
pressure exercised by NJ. Develle was too
much, and the minister assented to the
convention, although reluctantly. The
clause providing for the trial of Siamese
under French supervision is denounced
here as complete violation of the treaty
rights The clause concerning the prolonged
occupation of Chantaboon is regarded as
menacing Siamese independence. Yes

York the Scene of the Shooting
New York, Oct. "A murder with all
the elements of mystery was committed
to-day in the uptown residence district.
The utmost recticence regarding the mat
ter is maintained by those most concerned,
and the police for some reason or another
seem to be anxious to keep the secret
within themselves. The story as told by
neighbors is-Uo the effect that shortly af-
ter 4 o'clock this afternoon a tall, dark
woman dressed in deep mourning was
seen passing to and fro along Eighty-sixth
street, as if waiting for somebody 1t
was noticed by those who watched her
that she cast furtive glances toward the
top tloorof No 515. Suddenly.she ascended
the steps, and Immediately four sharp
cracks from a revolver were heard.
A PoLICEMAN's WIFE SHOT.
A crowd gathered and, rushing in
to the hall, they found Mrs. Carrie
Pearsall lying at the foot of the stairs
with a bullet wound in the neck and
bleeding profusely from the mouth and
nostrils. When the crowd entered the
hallway the woman pocketed her revol-
Yer, drew her wrap about her and walk
ed down the steps. A few of the
neighbors followed her and found that she
went to the eighty-eighth street police
station to give herself up. She told what
she had done, and said her name was Mrs
Catherine Fitzgerald, and that she lived
at No. 25l0 Eighth avenue. She said she
was 43 years of age The woman who
was shot was Mrs. Carrie Pearsall, wife
of Policeman John w. Pearsall of the

ulars."
THE PRISONER REFUSES TO TALK.
Mrs Fitzgerald was transferred to the
| One hundred and Twenty-sixth street
station house shortly after her arrest
This evening Capt. Brooks of that pre-
cinct said that the woman refused to talk
regarding the shooting and what
prompted it.
OF the four shots fired but one took
effect. This entered Mrs. Pearsalls neck,
severing the jugular vein and passing
through the right lung. She died fifteen
minutes afterward
