OF GENERAL INTEREST.
NEWS GATHERED FROM MANY
SOURCES.
The Russia Germany Commercial Treaty
Signed.-Five Men Drowned by
Yacht Capsizing. -Other News.
Emperor william Says something.


Berlin cable: Emperor William at
tended the dinner given by Chancellor
Won Caprivi TO members of parliament
and delivered a speech. In this he an
nounced the fact that the treaty of
commerce with Russia had been signed.
His majesty said that never before had
the reichstag to make a decision
fraught with such important conse-
quences as this treaty. Its rejection,
he said, would be inevitably followed
by tariff war and at not very re-
mote period by real war. "Let every
deputy" he continued, "realize his
responsibility. The favorable terms
of the treaty were entirely due to per-
sonal intervention OF the car and his
strong love Of peace. The treaty is
IN arked throughout by love of peace.
The car had been compelled TO over
come a vigorous resistance on the part
of the manufacturing and commercial
interests of Russia
Emperor William was exceedingly
gracious and animated, and remained
at the soiree for three hours. Herr
Levitzow, the president of the reich
stag, submitted to the emperor the
grievances of the farmers against the
financial reform bill. His majesty
listened attentively and then repeated
that the passage of the bill was of high
political necessity. BY passing it the
reichstag would win the lasting graft
tude of the Germans, and he concluded
by saying that patriotism and respon-
sibility forbade its rejection.

THE MURDERER CAUGHT.
Kalamazoo officials Think They Have the
Man Who KILLED butcher schinIng.

March 81, 1893, at noon, Louis
Schiiling, prominent Kalamazoo, Mich,
butcher was murdered in the office of
his meat market while his assistants
were at dinner. Robbery was the mo-
tive as money he was known to have
was not found. The crime was com
mitted with knife, his throat having
been cut Although the officials have
worked very hard on the case no clues
were discovered.
Last week Deputy Sheriff left re-
ceived tip that VIM. Alguire, of Kali
amazoo, could give some information
and he was promptly arrested. He at
once turned states evidence. He said
thai at the time of the murder he was
employed as cook in Horace Mansfield S
restaurant; that Anna Wood was also
working there; that he often visited
the woman in her room and on one oc-
casion heard an unknown man plan
ming with Mansfield, who is a Mulatto,
to secure certain papers ''old Schilling"
had. On the day of the murder Alguire
was in the Wood woman's room when
Mansfield entered and took a bloody
knife from his pocket; the woman
washed it and hid it. Mansfield
threatened Acquire if he didn't keep
mum. Alguire asserts that the man
who planned the job was secreted in
Miss Woods room for two days before
the murder.

Rumors From Flo.

Cable from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil:
Admiral Da Cana has given notice
that he will soon blockade Rio, and
has disposed his fleet accordingly.
This step is intended to assert belliger-
emit rights for the insurgents The
action of the foreign commanders is
awaited with anxiety.
President Peixoto received United
States Minister Thompson. No
foreign diplomat has been received by
PeiXoto since the breaking ont of the
revolt, and the exception is now made
in the case of Minister Thompson in
recognition of the attitude of strict
neutrality which the United States
government and its representatives
have preserved during the troubles in
Brazil.
Admiral Benham is about to send the
cruiser New York to Desterro in the
south to look after American interests
there which are menaced by the iDsur-
gents.
Admiral De Mello has formed plan
TO transport 1000 troops from Rio
Grande do Sui and land them outside
the harbor of Rio Janeiro and TO make
combined land and sea attack.
Admiral da CANA had prepared to
believing that the national guard there
would support him. His plans were
discovered and he abandoned the
scheme.
England's underhanded methods
have again been manifest Mello and
Da Gama's friends among the nation
atty have been supplying them for
some time with rifles and ammunition.
The English tug Cardiff was captured
by President PeiXoto's orders shortly
after she left the wharf. She was
found to be laden with dynamite,
which she was taken to the insurgent
warship Trajano, lying outside the
harbor in Rio bay. The tug was re-
turned tg the wharf and the explosives
removed. The captain of the Cardiff
then complained to be british officials.
The English are indignant and revert
to the "highhanded outrage" with
considerable heat.

HAwAIIAN's CELEBRATE
The Anniversary of the Overthrow of the
BIonarchy-wnis Wouldn't Take Part.

The Anniversary of tho Overthrow of the
Ionarchy-wInls Wouldn't Take Part.
News received from Honolulu by the
brig w. G.. Irwin, tells of the celebra-
ton of "Abrogation ay,"-the first
anniversary of the abrogation of the
Hawaiian monarchy. Among the chief
exercises were n parade of military
forces, a reception in the council room
formerly the throne ROOM, and mass
meeting in the evening on Palace
square, which has just been named
"Union Square" by the Annexation
club. United States Minister Willis
declined for himself and the admiral
and United States naval officers Presi-
dent Dole's invitation to the reception.
He closed his note by expressing the
hope that more satisfactory relations
may soon be obtained between the two
governments.
The American league is rapidly
growing, and is coming to the front as
the chief political organization in sup
port Of the provisional government
and the cause of annexation. 1t is de-
veloping strong opposition to what
its mem bers regard as an endeavor of
the planter capitalists to control the
opposition to those of the working
classes of whites. A strong resolution
was passed opposing the further inn
portation of Chinese laborers. The
league desires to see Hawaii become a
white mans country, and not mainly
given up to the great estates of capital
lists manned by Asiatic laborers. To
this end they prefer to see n portion of
the profits of the planters sacrificed,
and some of the sugar estates given up
and the land divided into farms for
white immigrants. 1t is becoming
evident that party lines are going to
run mainly upon these issues for the
future. The planting interest is GER
tain TO make a strong fight for itself.
Planters as class, however, are I'M
likely to antagonize annexation or any
government which tends towards it.

SHARKS BIG HARVEST.
"a SUPREME COURT TAX TITLE
DECISION
Working Much Hardship to Property own
ers.--41alSo County Mans Brutal Treat
ment OF n Young Girl.-state News.

The decision handed down in the
slh,reme court IN the case of Cole VS..
Shelp, in which it was held that lands
sold for delinquent taxes under the
law OF 1880 or 1891, which gives the
owner of the property a day in court,
Is proving bonanza to the state how
ever much of hardship it may be for
property owners who have allowed
their read estate to be sold for delin-
quent taxes since 1887. The decision
holds that when property owner
fails to pay his taxes and subsequently
fails TO take advantage of his day in
court the land must be sold, and the
tax title becomes an absolute deed to
the property, the holder thereof being
authorized to institute ejectment pro-
ceedings ii necessary to secure posses
sion.
Heretofore it has been supposed that
a tax title could be defeated in the
courts at n small expense, but this de-
cision disposes of that theory. AS a
result of the courts ruling property
owners whose real estate is delinquent
for taxes assessed since 1887 are rush
Ing in from all sections of the state
and paying up in order to save their
possessions, while tax title sharks are
equally as active in their endeavors to
purchase valuable property at NOM
tnh figure. 1t is stated property worth
thousands of dollars has been pur-
chased for a mere song, and that eject
koent proceedings in these cases will
soon be commenced against the original
owners. One case is instanced where
an Alpena man paid less than SIS for a
tax title on valuable northern timbered
lands and within five days sold his
title for So, 200.
Lansing furnishes another instance
YhIch illustrates the workings of the
decision clearly. w. l.. Rice, mer-
chant, occupies property worth about
$4,000, which came into his possession
through a deed from George w. Day
ton. Taxes for 1SS7-s-9 had been re-
turned delinquent Rice failed to take
advantage of his ebay in court" and
subsequently w. G. Wiley paid the
taxes and claimed possession of the
property on the strength of the tax
title deed. Rice refused the demand,
but the circuit court has decided that
Wiley is the owner Another point
which here arises is whether the tax
title cuts off a mortgage on the prop
dirty, there being one held by Detroit
people for good sum. Wiley claims
that they do, it being incumbent on
the mort9agee as well as the owner of
Che fee to see that the taxes are paid.
1t is not unlikely that this phase of the
matter will find its way to the supreme
court for final adjudication.

Universal Church.

Professor Briggs, of the Union Theo-
logical seminary, of New York, says
that there is only one saving faith.
The world, he said, was born with
dogmatic teachings, and denomina-
tionalism has been the great source of
American Christianity. 1t exists no
where else in the world in such ter
rible manner as in America. "If we
were not very wealthy country"
continued the preacher, lit would
have been disastrous to Christianity in
this country. The greatest church dis
sensions have been due to the strug-
giles among men to sec who would be
highest" He thought the time was
coming when there would be Christ
ian alliance the world over, and that
there would be q universal church.

Valiant Gulllotined.

Paris cable: Valiant, the bomb
.hrower, was executed Feb. 4, ut 7:10
a. IN. His last words were: death
to society; long live anarchy" There
were no incidents of an exciting
nature other than this.
When the hour of execution was an
nounced the night before large crowds
began to assemble, and it became
necessary to erect barricades in all the
principal streets leading to the square.
At a. m. four companies of the Gardes
Republicaine and squadron of
mounted Gardes formed around the
square. Meanwhile the crowd con-
tinued to increase, and signs of APP
preaching turbulence on its part were
noticeable. An ugly rush of men and
women up the Rue de la Roquette took
place at a. M, but was stopped by
the police.
Promptly at $3.50 o'clock M. Deibler,
the eXecutioner, appeared at the stag
ing of the guillotine. A few minutes
later the two familiar vans rumbled
into the square. They brought the
guillotine and Deibler's assistants. NJ.
Deibler went to one van, and by the
light of lanterns examined the knife
and ropes as they were brought out.
The construction of the guillotine pro-
ceeded rapidly and silently, but for the
occasional thud of piece of wood fall
ing into place. NJ. Lepine, project of
police, was at hand TO see that all pre-
cautions against anarchistic plots were
taken.
At o'clock the guards appeared
with the prisoner, and after convers-
ing with NJ. Deibler for about two
minutes he was led to the guillotine.
All was made ready, and 7:10 o'clock
Vaillant's head fell into the basket.

Rulned br Ier supposed nenefactor.

y
Austin Reed was lodged in Jail at
Baldwin charged with heinous crime.
Reeds wife deserted him several years
ago, and his sister lived with him and
remained until she died some three
years since. During that time Reed
took a little girl, a county charge, from
the superintendent of the poor to raise.
Her name was Jennie Vargasou, and
she is now Ia years of age. She has
been living in Reeds habitaIion, a one
story, one-roofed cabin on the banks
of q lonely lake, far from neighbors,
since, and has grown up so far un-
tutored and uncultured, save, if rumors
be right, in evil. Recently the girl S
father, hearing that she was poorly
treated, asked for an investigation.
Superintendent of the Poor Randall
went out to Reeds farm, nine miles
from Baldwin, and finding the girl
poorly clad took her back to the poor
farm near Chase, where she was exam
lined by two physicians, who discov-
cred that she had been made the OBJ
ject of some person or persons of carnal
desires to such an extent as to produce
a diseased condition. The girl, on be-
ing questioned, accused Reed and his
son of being the guilty parties, and
said the crime had been going on right
along for at least year and half,
and up to the very day before she was
brought away.
A warrant was issued and Reed was
lodged in Jail. Reed is past middle
age, sober and Industrious, and has
borne good reputation. He has held
various township offices, and is al
present a member of the county board
OF Supervisors.
