WILL SAVE MONEY.
Secretary Gresham Tells of the
Behring Sea Award.
His Advice Is to Accept the Proposition
to Pay Great Britain Damages of
SAe5,OOO-It May Cost More
IL We Don't.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Secrctary
Gresham Thursday afternoon fur.
nished the house OF representatives.
full information touching the pa ment
by the United States to Great l.rtain
of S425, 900 for damages growing out Of
the Behring sea controversy in COM
pliance with a resolution in the house.
In transmitting the papers to the
speaker, Secretary Gresham says in
explanation of the matter:
1.-THE Paris tribunal OF arbitration held that
the United States had no right of protection Of
property in the fur seals in Behring sea out
side the ordinary 3-mile limit. Under article 8
OF the convention of February 20, 1892 where
by the questions which had arisen between the
two governments concerning the jurisdictona
rights of the United States in the waters Of
Behring sea were submitted to arbitration. the
arbitrators unanimously found that number
OF British sealing vessels were seized in Behr-
Ing sea or warned therefrom by cruisers of the
United States on the days and ut the places in
thu special finding mentioned. leaving for fu-
ture determination the questions as to the
value OF the said vessels or their contents. or
either OF them and the question as to whether
the vessels mentioned in the schedule to the
British case. or any of them, were wholly or in
part the actual property Of citizens of the
United States.
the president in his last annual message is
not acceptable to congress the remaining con-
troverted questions must be determined either
by the organization of joint commission
or by negotiations between the two gov
ernments Experience has shown that inter-
national commissions are slow and expensive.
Should such n course be resorted to, the
evidence would be found mostly on the Pacific
coast widely scattered and counsel would be
needed to examine and cross-examine wit
aesses The question of indirect or conse-
qucntial damages having been withdrawn
from the tribunal of arbitration, the pending
claims are for British vessels actually seized in
Behring sea or warned out OF it by cruisers of
the United States.
1T will appear from the submitted corre-
spondence that the agreement to pay u lump
sum OF Si2500) in full s"tt ement Ill de-
mands authorized to be lnL under the lreuty
and award was proposed by ths gov
below the damages claimed by Great
Britain, exclusive of the interest for
number OF years. II this agreement does
not receive the approval OF congress and the
disputed questions are submitted to an inter-
national commission, 1t is believed that the
amount allowed and the expense of the trib-
nnal, including witnesses and the taking of
their testimony, will largely exceed s425.0o0
I'm view of all the facts and what may be
reasonably expected as the result of commis-
sion. the undersigned submits that a prompt
and final settlement OF the vexatious contro-
versy by an appropriation of the lump agreed
upon Is advisable" q"

FATE OF A WOMAN.
Mrs. A. ID. Matson, Prominent Topeka
(.an.) Lady, Murdered.

(ian.) Lady, Murdered.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 2l.-The dead
body of Mrs. a. D. Matson, one of the
best known women in Topeka, was
found in her home Thursday after
noon, where she had evidently been
outrag ged and murdered ten days ago.
A boy who had been delivering milk
to her for long time noted the fact
that the cans which he left on her back
porch had not been disturbed by her
for nearly two weeks, and he thought
it worthy of the notice of the police.
He reported to headquarters
An investigation followed and the
woman's body was found in n back
room covered with old clothes and
rags, and several bushels of potatoes
piled upon her head. The head had
been crushed with an ak which
stood near by. Most of the
immediate neighbors were colored peo-
pie, with whom Mrs. Matson did not
associate and her absence from home
for several days not being an unusual
occurrence, they thought nothing of
not having seen her about the neigh
borhood. After she had been out
ragged and murdered the house was
rifled of nearly everything OF value.
There Is but little clew to the perpe-
traitors of the crime.
George knight, a deaf and dumb
colored man, appeared at police head
quarters Thursday night and writing
upon slate said that upon the night
of December II he saw two white men
enter Mrs. Matson's house. 1t is be-
lieved that these men were the MUIR
derers, but the description given of
them by knight will prove of little aid
to the officers in establishing their
identity.
Mrs. Matson was for several years q
member of the city board of educa ton
from the Fifth ward and took an active
interest in the CITY schools. She was
at one time city teacher and was as
well known as any woman in the city.
She was generally supposed to have
considerable money and owned five or
six houses on the east side. Her hus-
band left her four or FIVE years ago
and took up homestead in California.
where he has since lived. Mrs. Mat
son was member of the Topeka Equal
Suffrage association and prominent
suffrage worker.

China Sends Peace Envoys to Treat with

China Sends Peace ENJOYS to Treat with
the Japanese Government.
SHANGHAI, Dec. 22.-On account of
the terrific loss OF credit abroad and
the unimpeded progress of the Japan
ese armies China, on the advice of the
foreign powers, has determined to sur
render absolutely to Japan. Through
the friendly offices of the United
States the preliminaries to this end
have been arranged and two high
plenipotentiariesh have been appointed
by the emperor to proceed to Japan.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Minister Dem
by cabled the state department Friday
that the Chinese government has ap-
pointed two peace commissioners,
Chang Yin Huan and Fhao, who will
proceed at once on their mission from
Picking to the Japanese capital. There
is some speculation here as to whether
an armistice will be declared,
pending the consummation of a
treaty of peace. Such a course is
usual in the case of wars between
civilized countries, but there is reason
to believe the Japanese are indisposed
to trust the Chinese in the smallest de-
gree, and if an armistice is arranged
it will be upon such conditions as to
insure the Japanese that they will
lose none of the advantage of position
which they now hold.

IN GREAT NEED.
Distressing story from Nebrnsiea --Tfrou-
sands DcstItute.


NIoBRARA, Neh., Dec. 24-The suf.
fering among the inhabitants of the
drought-blasted part of Nebraska, in
cluding three-fourths of the residents
of five counties, is becoming more i'm
tense daily, and immediate steps alono
can prevent many deaths by starvs-
ton. Three years ago the farmers OF
these drought-blighted counties raised
n very light crop, and the past two
years the crops have been almost total
failures. Many families have not
enough provisions in their homes for
one weeks substance and no money
to purchase the necessaries of life.
Many of the merchants here feel
they have aided these poor farmers to,
the extent of their ability, and are un-
able to do any more for them or to sell
them goods on credit The sufferers
cannot obtain employment, and unless
they receive aid very soon it is the gem
eral opinion that many will starve to
death, and should the weather turn
very cold many will freeze to death,
as it is fact that many are barefoot
ed and have scarcely sufficient cloth
ing to cover their nakedness. The
marshal of this place saw, IL miles
from here, children without shoes, and
their pantaloons were so ragged they
scarcely covered their nakedness.
A mother and her two children were
found dead in their little cabin last,
week 1t is supposed the motherhad
been confined to her bed by sickness
and she and her two little ones starved
to death. The stomachs of the children
were opened and not trace of food,
could be discovered.
President Mason, of the Nebraska.
state relief commission, has been for
warded carefully-prepared report of
the number of destitute families in the
different counties in the state where
there was a crop failure. The list is a
large one and it will require all the as
sistance that can be procured to keep
the people in the most urgent of neces-
sites during the cold winter months.
The report as has been made out by
Secretary Ludden is as follows:
Custer county, $50 families; Perkins. 200;
Chase, POS; Dundy, l20 Hitchcock, 250; Red
Willow, 100; Hayes, 200; Frontier 40; Furnas,

Burglars Plunder Banking Institution
at Mansfield. Ill.
MANSFIELD, ILL.,, Dec. 22.-The exam
iner for the state auditor was in Mans
field Thursday for the purpose of ex-
amining the Farmers and Merchants
state bank. The examination kept the
examiner and the head bookkeeper at
work until 10 o'clock p. m. At that
hour the examiner completed his work
and went to his hotel. An hour later
The bookkeeper closed the safe and
left the building.
When the bank was opened Friday
morning it was discovered that the
large safe had been practically blown
to pieces, and everything indicated
that experienced cracksmen had been
at work on the job The blasts that
shattered the safe were so powerful
that much of the contents was de-
stroyed. The thieves secured all the gold
and silver, $500, belonging to the post
master, which was on a tray, not in
the inner vault. The loss in money is
about 81, 800, and the bank is damaged
$1,000. About $1,000 in bills was so
mutilated by the explosion that the
safe blowers left it behind. 1t was
blown into such small pieces that but
little of it can be redeemed.

WON THE CASE,
HypnOtism a Successful Defense In n Muir
der Trial.

der Trial
WICHITA, Kan, Dec. 24.-The case of
Tom Mcdonald, accused of the murder
OF Tom Patton in Sumner county last
month, which has been on trial this
week in the district court at Yelling
ton, was given to the jury Saturday
evening, and after brief absence from
the box verdict of acquittal was rem
dered on the ground that while McDon-
aid killed Patton he had done so while
under the hypnotic influence of Ander-
son Gray, his employer, who last week
was sentenced to death for the same
crime. During the trial it was shown
Gray wanted Patton removed because
of something the latter knew to Gray's
detrimept and that last summer he
had exerted this supposed hypnotic
influence over Mcdonald in an effort to
get Patton killed. This is said to be the
first case on record where plea of hyp-
motto influence has been set up sue
cessfully as defense in trial for mur-
der. The peculiar features of the case
aroused intense interest in the trial.
