WASHINGTON, April 1.-The impor-
tanta and attractive mission to the Neither
lands is at present held by Mime
apolis man, whose appointment four
years ago was about the first nOtifica-
tion the people of Minnesota had of the
existence of s. R. Thayer. but when the
appointment was made the Mill City
promptly placed it on her books, and
has grown SO fond of alluding to ''our
minister to the Netherlands" that she
has decided to make an effort to keep
the position filed by Minneapolis
man. even though the politics of the
minister may be OF different brand.
Last evening Hon. G. McC. Reeve, of
the Mill Cily, arrived in Washington,
and today, accompanied by Congress
man Hall, called on the president, who
gave both hearty welcome. Later in
the day the formal application of Mr..
Reeve was filed at the state depart
ment. along with strong array of
letters indorsing him for the place.
This mission. now held by Judge
Thayer. pays the holder but $500 per
year, but 1t has always been considered
one of the most desirable Of the minor
positions in the diplomatic service.
While the salary will not suffice to pay
the expenses of the minister, it will
come much nearer to doing so than the
larger salaries paid In other positions.
Col. Reeve left for home this evening
feeling hopeful, but not at all confident.
Want COnsulsIips.
When the papers of Mr.. Reeve were
filed, Congressman Hall took occasion
to present the application and indorse-
ments OF A. L. LindhoIm, of Saltwater,
who desires to be consul at Copenhagen,
and ID. r. P. Hibbs, of Albert Lea, who
would like to go to Victoria, B. c., in
the same official capacity. Mr.. Lind
holm is one of the prominent Swedish
Democrats OF the state, and in 1890
made a strong race for secretary of
state. D. r. P. Hibbs has been work
ing Democrat for so many years that he
has become known throughout all,
Southern Minnesota as one of the First
district leaders. He has been dele
gate to several national conventions,
and last year was placed on the Demo-
cratic electoral ticket at the Minneapo-
lis convention.
While Congressman Hall and Col
Charley Reeve were investigating the
diplomatic side of the government. Hon.
Dan W. Lawler and John c. Bulitt Jr.,
of st. Paul, called at the department of
justice, where Mr.. Lawler introduced
his companion to Attorney General Oh
ney. Mr.. Bullitt desires one of the as
sistant attorney generalShips, but did
not put In his application earlier because
of the fact that Lloyd W. Bowers, of
Wlnona, was candidate for solicitor
general, and but one position of this
kind could be expected at the most by
Minnesota. Mr.. Bullitt has strong in
dorsements and no opposition in that
line from his own state.

He Murdered a Young Lady
Who Had Scorned His
Love.
Then He Sent a Bullet Crash
ing Through His Own
Skull.
His Victim the Daughter Of
a Prominent Family at
Spokane.

CHICAGO, April Miss Ellie Clark,
of Spokane, Wash, member of the
freshman class at the Northwestern
university at Evanston, twelve miles
north of this city, was tonight shot and
instantly killed by E. Ross Smith, who
was until lately also resident of Spo-
kane. The cause of the murder was
the refusal of the young lady to enter
tain Smiths proposal of marriage. Miss
Clark was nineteen years of age, and
the daughter of prominent family in
Spokane. Smith, who was 26 years of
age, had for several years been an
ardent suitOr for the hand of Miss
Clark. His attentions were repulsed by
the parents of Miss Clark and by the
young lady herself, but so persistent
was Smith that, in a final effort to get
away from him, Miss Clark was sent to
the Northwestern university. 1t was
not long after her arrival in Evanston
before Smith put in all appearance, and
he has been unremitting in his attempt
to win the young woman for his wife.
He entered a medical college in this
city, but was more often to be found IN
Evanston than Chicago. Last night he
Called Upon Miss Clark
at her boarding place in Evanston and
persuaded her to take walk with him.
Miss Clark refused to go unless her
roommate, Miss Abernathy, accom-
panied them. Smith agreed to this, and
Miss Abernathy was the only witness of
the tragedy.
Smith urged his suit again, but met
with no success. He then attempted to
get the young lady away from Miss Alb
ernathy, but Miss Clark stopped short
and refused to walk any farther. Smith
then asked her to come to where he was
standing, as he wished to speak to her
confidentially. She complied, and
Smith at once drew revolver and
fired at her five times, one bull
let entering behind the left ear
and another passing through her
left side. Smith then turned his wea-
pom against himself and sent a bullet
crashing through his own skull. Miss
Clark was removed to house close by,
but expired in few minutes. Smith
was taken to the police station, where,
before lapsing into Inconsistencies, he
said:
II shot her. She would not marry
me, so 1 shot her."
Medical aid was promptly summoned,
but the physicians announced that no
human aid could save the young muir
derer, though 1t was possible he might
linger for number Of hours.
r. Fl. Smith, the father of young
Smith, is wealthy shipbuilder and
contractor at Selbrooks, Or. Miss
Clark's parents are now in Florida. Her
father is Rev Nelson Clark, a retired
minister, who is now in the real estate
business in Spokane. News of his
daughters death was sent to Mr.. Clark
tonight, but no reply was received.

PHOTOGRAPHS VITALs.
Queer Claims of a Physician at
Wadena.

WADENA, April IA German gen.
tleman, who goes by the name of DR..
Won Senden, is deriving some nOtoriety
of late by miraculous cures he is
alleged 10 have made on behalf of suf-
tering humanity. He lives in the east
ern part of the county, near Nerndale,
and has been here for period of about
nine months. CredulOuS people say he
has wonderful little instrument which
he places upon the patients breast, and
in short time he has a photograph of
all the vital organs. Thus he is able to
tell the trauble hts patients ere labOring
under, and he forthwith prescribeS for
them from medicines which he extracts
from roots and herbs. The man,
of course, is fake, but still he
has succeeded in rOping in quite prac-
tice among certain classes, whom he re-
gales with all sorts of stories, and how
the fates made it possible for man Of
learning TO locate in such a SparSelY
settled neighborhood. He claims he
was driven from Germany by cOnSpir-
acy, and that also in Wisconsin, where
he first located. ill-luck attended him.
1t seems that he is an old offender
against the law regulating physicians
in their practice. and has no diploma.
The state board of examiners has been
making inquiries concerning him of
late. it having traced him to this point.
and In its issue of yesterday the Wa
dena Pioneer showed him up. 1t is very
probable that the doctors case will be
attended to by the proper authorities

WILL NOT LET UP.
Republicans to Continue. the Per-
seCution of Roach.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Some of the
Republicans of the senate deny the
statements that the inquiry into the
charges against Senator Roach, of
North Dakota, Is to be abandoned. IL
has been decided by this element of
the party that the Republicans will not
only insist upon the original Inquiry,
but will broaden the scope of the inveS-
tigaton, and urge close scrutiny of
the means that were used to effect the
election of Mr. Roach. They say,
in view of the fact that Mr. Walsh,
the Republican speaker of the Dakota
house. voted for Roach and then left his
seat and did not return until after the
election; that his son-in-law voted for
Roach; that ten Republicans i'll all voted
for the Democratic candidate; it be-
comes apparent that there is legitimate
scope for investigation in connection
with the election. When asked about
the matter this afternoon Senator
Chandler said he understood it to be the
intention of the Republican members of
the senate. instead of Withdrawing from
the inquiry, to push it and broaden it so
as to include the methods adopted at the
time of the election.

OAR HALLS SHOES.
Three Gentlemen Who Are Will
ing to Wear Them.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-All reports to
the effect that the secretary of the in.
terror has decided to retain eX-Congress-
man Oar S. Hall at the head of the
Chippewa Indian commission, on the
ground that he is competent and knows
the duties of the office or any other
grounds, are absolutely without founda-
ton. Secretary Smith did not know of
the existence of Hall until the other
day, when he was asked question that
made it necessary to look the eX-con-
gresham up. "Rall, Hall! chairman
of the Chippewa commission" said
Mr.. Smith, II know nothing about
him whether he is competent or
not. and certainly have not expressed
all opinion in regard to his retention.'
AS matter of fact, Mr.. Hall's head is
certain to be taken Oft within very
short time, simply because the depart
ment thinks that he Is moving too
slowly. His commission spends $4,000
per year to move about twenty-five In
dianS. half of whom make their way
back to Mile Lacs before the commits
Sioners can persuade another batch to
go. For the benefit of candidates for
this position it will be we'll to state that
Secretary Smith will expect more and
better work in the future. Among the
candidates in the field for Chairman
Halls place are r. K. Doe, of Duluth;
Hon. w. M. Campbell, of st. Paul, and
Bernard Cloutier, of Minneapolis.

Several Places.
specials to the Globe.
HURON, S. D., April 1.-The water in
the jim river continues 20 rise. The
banks are overflown and miles of low
land are covered with water. A great
quantity of ice, floating rubbish and
hay is seen everywhere. The ap-
proaches to Third street bridge are two
feet under water. The structure has
been so far saved by force of wOrkmen
keeping the ice from gorging. The
freshet is the greatest known since 1882.
The ground is thoroughly saturated and
lakes of water sbOund everywhere.
BIG STONE CITY, S. D., April 1.-The
WhitestOne river runs through the city
limits, and has already taken out one
bridge and two more are in danger.
The water is now fifteen feet above its
normal stage and still rising. The snow
Is all gone except the deep drifts.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D.. April 1.-The
Missouri river is steadily rising here
and the ice is running heavily. Several
sections of pOntoOn bridge have flOated
by during the past few hours, supposed
to be from Pierre. A few pontoons be-
pany were sunk this afternoon.
MAZEPPA. Minn., April 1.-The re-
mainder of the dam here went out dur
ing the night, and this morning it was
found that every vestige of it had been
swept away. Huge cakes of ice have
been floating down stream all day and
serious fears are entertained for the
safety of the bridges below this point,
as water is reported running over some
of them. The barren shores and river
bed, covered with huge sheets of ice,
form all interesting spectacle. No trains
ran OH the Midland today, owing to the
track being covered with water near
Keegan.
WINoNA, Mimi, April 1.-The river
at this point opened today, and a clear
channel is had, though fears are enter
tanned for the safety of some of the
lumber booms by reason of gorged ice.
Rafting steamers began local service by
checking up storage RATS today.
DICKINSON. n. D., April 1.-At day
break Bridge Watchman Josiah Fisher
was swept into the turbulent stream
by locomotive and instantly killed.
MANDAN, n. D., April 1.-The water
in the Heart river is two feet lower than
last night. Northern Pacific officials
are pushing repairs to the track and
bridges. Niger Bill, a colored man,
was drowned in the Heart near Marmot,
when trying to cross the river. The
Missouri is stih solid. The west-bonnd

ARBITRATION EXPENSES.
They May Be Investigated by a
Senate Commission.

SChobC
WASHINGTON, April l. The dis
closures with regard to the Behring sea
commission expenditures still continue
to excite surprised comment. All the
arrangements for the representation of
this country at the conference were
made by Gen. Foster, and evidently with
the determination that its staff should
not lack the wealth with which to make
a display. Looking at it in that
light, there are some people who
are willing to admit that the eX-secretaTy
had the right IDEA. but they think that
he carried it to too great an extreme.
For instance, they do not see why the
paymaster of the commission, whose
duties occupy no more than one or two
days at the outside in every month,
should have been allowed SO large a
sum for his expenses over and above his
per diem and army salary. In fact,
necessary at all, and his duties could
have been just as we'll performed by
one of the clerks, or even by one of the
commissioners themselves.
Members of the house Of representa-
tives who are i'll the city are OutSpOken
in their protests against the eXtrava-
gances which the investigation of Sec
retaries Gresham and Carlisle have dis
closed. Phere is talk of introducing a
resolution in the senate for an investi-
cation, This procedure is dis
cOuraged by some, who say
that it is wholly unnecessary
in view of the fact that the two secre-
taries are doing all the investigating
that is necessary and that when they
reach a conclusion they may be relied
upon 10 act quite as vigorously and
fearlessly as any senate committee.
Moreover. there is widespread feeling
of confidence in Secretary Gresham's
ability to get at the bottom of a compli-
cation of this kind

EVANSVILLE, Wis, April 1.-The re-
mains of Miss Mabel Quinn were taken
to her home in Beloit last evening, ac-
eompanied by her grief-stricken father
and mother. The details OF her death
are unusually sad. The girl was nine
teen years old. She came to Dir. Clara
NOrmington three days ago. She wanted
relief from the effects of a criminal Op-
Grafton which she confessed she had
herself performed. The doctor did all
in her power to avert blood poisoning,
which was threatened, but the girl grew
no better. Thursday evening she died,
and not until few moments before did
she reveal her name.

learned about the Cadwallader case.
Cadwallader in the meantime had fled
to the States, and after chase of over
1000 miles was caught In small town
back of San PaulO, suburb of Santos,
and by singular coincidence Capt.
Henry here came across BotSfOrd, who,
although leaving wife and family at
home, had married French girl and was
living in ease and comfort. EXtradition
papers were immenlately obtained, and
with both prisoners he sailed for New
York. On arrival at quarantine both

Special to the Globe.
April Senator Roach
called at the White house today and in
troduced w. E. Purcell,o Wahpeton, to
the president. Mr.. Purcell said he is
not candidate for any Office, but SIM
ply called to discuss with Mr. Cleveland
the question of the distribution of pat
ronage in North Dakota. His state, he
claimed, and especially Senator Roach's
immediate constituents, should be en-
titled to fair share of the plums, in
view of the magnificent victory of
short time since, when Democratic
senator was elected by Republican
legislature. Mr.. Purcell waxed elo-
quent, and the president listened at
tentively, but made no actual promises.
Then the talk turned on factional is
