Secretary Gresham EXPLAINS.

WAsHINGTON, June 8. = Secretary
Gresham explained Wednesday that
the substitution of Mr.. Webster for r..
M. White as member of the national
commission of the Worlds fair was a
matter entirely within the province OF
the New Mexico territorial office. The
commission when in session in Chicago
adopted n resolution informing the
governor of New Mexico that White was
an insurrectionist; was in the way and
was injuring the territorial exhibit.
Therefore the commission asked for his
removal. On the strength of that rec
ommend >tion the governor sent in the
nomination Of Mr.. Webster to succeed
Mr.. White, and the president made the
application according to the law.

AN INSANE MOTHER
browns Her Two Children and Her
self at GAINESVILLE, O.
Husband and Father Returns From
Work and Finds Loved Ones Absent
Letter From tho Dead Woman.

EVANSVILLE, o., June 12.-One of the
saddest crimes that has occurred in this
county for years came to light Sunday
morning. Mrs. Clara f. Weaver, aged
"a years, drowned her two children and
herself some time Saturday. She lived
with her husband, John l.. Weaver, q
young farmer in Newton township,
near Buckeye creek. Saturday morn
ing the husband went to corn field
some distance from home and did not
return until evening. lis wife and
two children, Louis, aged 4 years, and
Chloris Leota, aged months, were not
at home when he returned, but he did
not grow uneasy until s or
o'clock, thinking they had gone to her
fathers. AS soon as it was light Sum
day morning, however, the neighbors
were informed and search instituted.
The three dead bodies were found in
Buckeye creek, a shallow stream, which
is now only about twelve inches deep.
Mrs. Weaver had waded into the stream
and held the children under the water
until drowned and then ended her own
life There was probably taint OF
hereditary insanity in the woman, as
she had an uncle who murdered his
wife and killed himself some years ago.
After the discovery of the bodies the
following letter was found in the
house:
"JUNE TO- 1903.

THE GOLD RESERVE

At the Lowest Point for Several Years
S89,589,363.
WASHINGTON, June S.-The gold re-
serve Wednesday dropped to $50. $50. .363.
This is the lowest point that has been
reached for several years. At the
treasury department, however, it is
said there are indications of renewed
confidence in financial circles, due to
the presidents determination to have
the gold reserve used in maintaining
gold payments until the extra session
of congress affords some permanent re-
lief through proper legislation. Con-
troller of the Currency Eckels received
dispatch from the treasury expert in
Chicago informing him that there have
been no runs on banks in that city
Wednesday and that the banks are in
good condition. This, Mr.. Eckeis
thinks, will still further restore public
confidence.

pots and shipped to the different states
where the unfortunates formerly had

inferred in the cemeteries about Wash
ington. Enormous crowds of people
attended the funerals and the ex-
citement and indignation was ap-
parent in the demonstrations made
about tho caskets of the dead. Sew
eral of those buried Sunday were old

with number Of building experts and
government officials. The latter will

of Col Ainsworth, chief Of the records
and pension division, that occupied
the building on Tenth street, for the
condition of the building. 1t is assert.
ed that Col Ainsworth had been in
formed by workmen that the building
was likely to come down if the work OF

THE SPANISH PRINCESS
Dined by tho Mayor of Chicago- Tho Gold
Worlds Fair Pass.

CHICAGO, June s.--Thc Infanta
Eulalia arose ut o'clock Wednesday
and after partal<ing of n light break
fast in her own apartment, received
one or two Spanish officials and the
members of her own party. She ex-
pressed to all of them her pleasure at
tho reception she had received since
her arrival in this city.
During the morning the mayors pri-
vate secretary called ut the hotel and
presented to Commander Davis for the
Infanta and her suite Illuminated and
engrossed invitations to the mayors
breakfast ut noon. These were not in
tended as formal invitations, such be-
ing unnecessary, but mostly as pleasant
souvenirs for the occasion. On behalf
of the Infanta, her private secretary
accepted the souvenirs with hearty
thanks.
Just before noon three carriages
drew up in front of the ladies' entrance
Of the Palmer house. Mrs. Potter
Palmer's landau, which was drawn by
four magnificent, bang-tailed chestnut
horses, was the one intended for the
infanta. On the opposite side of tho
street twenty-four mounted police,
under the command of Inspectors
Ross and Fitzpatrick and Lieut..
Healy, were drawn up in line. A
crowd of perhaps 5000 people were
gathered around the hotel, awaiting
the appearance of the princess. When
she appeared on tho arm of Commander
Davis great shout went up from the
assembled multitude. Handkerchiefs
were waved and heads barred as the
pretty representative of royalty
stepped into the carriage. The
infanta was followed by her hus-
band, Prince Antoine of Orleans, while
the duke of Tamase and Commander
Davis took the front of the seat The
marchioness of Arco-Hermose, Mrs.
Davis, Senor De Murnagua, the Spanish
minister, and Don Pedro Joveny Tower
took the second carriage, and the little
cortege then started at a rapid trot,
preceded and followed by the mounted
police, an escort to Mayor Harrisons
| residence.
The mayors house was gayly decor
ated for the occasion. The Spanish
and American flags formed the basis OF
the decorations. The dining room was
a bower of yellow and red, the flowers
used being tulips and roses. After the
reception the party were taken for a
drive around the boulevards. They
were large in their praise of Chicago.
The dinner party numbered 200.
The Infanta has received pass to

plate of solid gold, four inches long by

lettering being sunk in the gold and

cused Girl Is Innocent or Insane.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 1O.-It
was $40 o'clock Friday afternoon when
the court decided to adjourn the Lizzie
Borden case until Saturday morning.
AS the details in this remarkable case
come out day by day the feeling is grow
ing stronger that Lizzie Borden could
not have committed the crime if she
had been sane woman. The prosecu-
tion have cut down the time in which
the murder must have been committed
to twelve minutes.
1t would seem to any common-sense
person physically impossible for a
small woman like Lizzie Borden to COM
init two murders in twelve minutes, do.
stroy all traces OF the crime and re-
appear with hair unrufflcd, with cloth
ing smooth, without face even flushed.
The very strongest points brought out
by the prosecution day by day seem
irgly prove the fallacy of these views.
