haps, does not at first appear, bu'
we are forced to that conclusion !
the vote was given inteIligently
Voters who voted for Democratic
rule last fail must have known that
such vote meant a change in oul
tariff laws. There has not been, al
vet, sufficient time for Democratic
congress to make that change, and
until the change is accomplished
and the effect noted, apolitical hoF
on that score is an absurdity; and il
the Republican party was not to be
trusted year ago, it has certainly
done nothing within the year t.
merit renewal of confidence.
Third.termism in Massachusetts
and Iowa may account for change
in those states, but does not account
for the change in New York. Ii
will not do to say that the New
York vote was a rebukc administer

many ring and bossism were in full
blast last year and the year before
and. for the matter of that, fol

II has been bad time for the
fellows who were on top, but, since
reason does not seem co have guided
the voters, we can reach no othe
conclusion but that the people are
goaded on, by hard times, to hit the
head, wherever they see it, no mat
ter whose the head.

DONE IN CHOCOLATE.
A Unique Exhibit in the German Section
at the Worlds Fair.


WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
MAY 26.-The German section in Agri-
cultural building was thrown open this
morning for the first time. The feat
urc of the exhibit is pavilion built of
solid chocolate, from the firm of Stoll-
wrrck Bros. of Cologne. and deserve
special mention in consequence of
its popularity. The temple is
built in the Renaissance style
and covers a space of 10 square feet
and height of IS feet up to the crown.
The entire quantity of chocolate used
in the construction of the pavilion
amounts to about 10000 pounds, the
imitation of brown granite being so
striking that a person unacquainted
with the facts would never question
its genuineness. The statue of Ger
mania, IL feet high, reproduction
of the '.Niederwald" monument, is an
other work of sculpture for which
chocolate serves instead of marble.
This monument was chiseled from
chocolate, the sculptor being Bruno
Schmitz. The figure has weight OF
1850 pounds. The pedestal of the statue
is ornamented with relief portraits of
Emperor Wilhelm l., Emperor Freder-
ick and bismarck and Moltke.
Commissioner Wermuth unveiled the
statue few minutes after II while the
garde du corps cavalry band of the
German village furnished the music.
Another great display in agri-
culture department is the exhibit
tion of the Kali works from
Stassfurt. in which forty firms are
matchmaking.

FIVE SUSPICIOUS DEATHS
Lead to the Arrest of an indianapolis
Servant Girl on Suspicion of Having Ad-
ministered Poison-She Bought "Rough
on Rats"

ministered Poison-She Bought "Rough
on Rats
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 26.-Coroner
Beck is making an investigation of the
death of the five members of the family
of VIM. Koesters, 456 South Meridian
street. The first death occurred three
months ago, when his child, aged 5,
died suddenly. Then two other chill
dren died of very much the same symp-
toms as the first one. Suspicious of
poisoning were entertained, but there
being no evidence, an analysis of the
stomach was not made. Then about
three weeks ago the infant child was
found dead in bed. Last Sunday even
ing Mrs. Clara Koesters, mother of
VIM. koesters, took sick after eating
supper, with all the symptoms of poi
soning She died in few hours.
Druggist G. F. Borst then notified
the family that the servant girl, Anna
Wagner, had purchased at his store the
same morning a box of Rough on
rats" The coroner was at once called
and yesterday afternoo n he put all the
facts IN the hands of the police and sug-
gested the arrest of the servant girl on
the charge of murder.
The girl, Annie Wagner, is under ar
rest, charged with murder, and enough
evidence has turned up to make what
seems a very clear case. A box of
Rough on Rats, which Druggist Borst
declares she purchased of him on Mon
day, was found in closet in the house.
She stoutly denies having purchased
the poison, and declares that it was
given to her by her sister, Mrs. Tillie
Bergman, to kill rats. Mrs. Bergman
denies all knowledge of the poison.
The Wagner girl is a comely young
German woman of 25, and has been in
America four years. She is as stoical
as an Indian, and stoutly declares her
innocence. She can scarcely speak a
word of English. and the officials are
compelled to do their talking through
an interpreter.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

Secretary Carlisle Issues a Letter of In
struction to Customs Officers in Order to
Secure Uniformity of Action in the En-
forcement of the Chinese Exclusion Law.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-In order that
there may be uniformity of action
among collectors of customs and a
thorough understanding on their part
of the secretary's construction of eX-
isting laws on the Chinese question,
Secretary Carlisle has written a letter
of instructions on the subject. The
letter it is said, does not relate to the

til otherwise directed. This order remains in
force so far as it applies TO Chinese persons
who have failed to obtain certificates of resi-
dence under the provisions Of the sixth section
of said act, but who otherwise would have

1t is known, however that great numbers OF
Chinese laborers have entered the United
States in violation Of the provisions Of the act
approved May G. 1882 as amended by the act
approved July 5, 1884. and OF the act approved
October l. 1888 Many Of these persons have
obtained admission upon false representations
that they were not laborers but merchants, and
others have entered clandestinely from yari-
Gus foreign territory.
Inviting your attention to the ist Cd, 3D. 4th
and 5th sections Of the act approved May 3,
1892, entitled An act to Prohibit the Com
ing OF Chinese Persons into the United
States which enforce the provisions
OF the previous acts prohibiting the
coming into this country OF Chinese laborers,
and provide for the trial. Imprisonment and
deportation OF such persons. who. under said
laws are not found to he lawfully entitled to
remain in the United States you are directed to
use all the means under your control to enforce
said laws and take such action as may he nec-
essary to procure the arrest and deportation Of
Chinese laborers who are unable to show that
they have obtained lawful admission into the
