New xork's Latest Sensation.

The death of Martha j. Fuller, pretty
typewriter in the Office of a lawyer named
Mullen from a pistol shot wound, fur
nishes New York city with a mystery
that promises to command as much at
tention as the celebrated Carlyle Harris
case did. Miss F'uller's death occurred
in Lawyer Mullen's office last Saturday
afternoon. The only other person present
in the Office at the time was the man
aging clerk, a lawyer named Magee. The
question is, did Miss Fuller commit sui
eide or was she shot by Maree2
At the time of the shooting Miss Fuller
was preparing to leave the Office for home.
She had on her hat and the glove on her
left hand was partly on. Lawyer Mullen
left the office about half an hour before
the tragedy occurred, and the Office boy
had been gone about fifteen minutes.
Magec who is charged with having com
mitted the crime, says he was not in the
room with Miss Fuller when the tragedy
occurred, but in another room of the
office, waiting for her TO go.
There is no evidence that Mageo shot
Miss Fuller, though the shooting was
done with Magee's pistol The pistol
had been in Magec's desk for long time,
and the Office boy says it was not loaded
on the morning of the day of the tragedy
Miss Fuller had access to Magee's desk
and could have taken it out at any time
No motive can be discovered for sui
eide and no evidence has yet been
found that furnishes a reason why
Magee might have shot Miss Fuller. The
evidence is that Miss Fuller was a
modest, handsome, diguifed girl, who
was always cheerful and apparently
happy. AS far as known she had no love
affairs Neither the clerks in the Office
nor Lawyer Mullen had reason to su5-
pect that there was other than a friendly
feeling between Miss Fuller and Magce.
1t has been discovered. however, that
Miss Fuller knew more of Macce's affairs
than was known by his relatives and most
intimate friends She knew he was
divorced man. Her relatives say that
she told them that Magee wanted
to marry her. but that she disliked him.
Magee denies there IS any truth in this
statement.
\ curious fact is that the doctors who
made the first autopsy declared that the
bullet had entered her left temple. If
that had been the case she could not have
committed suicide because she could not
have held the pistol in her partly gloved
left hand. y second autopsy showed be-
You'd a doubt that the bullet entered the
right side Of her head
The case is very mysterious one. If
Magoe shot the girl, why did he do so
The Office box says they were on the best
of terms when he left the Office and were
laughing heartily alta little story he had
told them a story he had heard at the
thcatcr the previous night.
1t may turn out that the events which
led up to the crime were occurring daily.
and in the presence of those who did not
even suspect that there was anything be
tween the dead girl and the man accused
of numbering her that might lead TO a
tragedy

Soaking seaboard Outlets.

On April Il the grain and trade con-
Eress of the south and west will meet At
Wichita. Kan. The purpose Of the con-
Eress is TO strengthen and increase the
trade relations between the south and
west. The directors OF the congress are
anxious to have representations at fhe
congress from the scarorts Of the south.
They point out that kansas produces an
nuaIly 75,oUO.0O0 bushels Of wheat and
5O,O000JO bushels of corn, and that three
fOurths of this immense amount Of grain
find a market outside OF the state. They
also suggest that merchandise purchased
for Kansas and some Of the other western
states in Boston, New York, and Fh4-a-
delphia can be shipped by way OF South
Atlantic ports at much less cost than by
the all-rau routes. They, therefore,
want to confer with business men Of
South Atlantic and Gulf ports with the
view Of establishing trade relations that
will be mutually helpful
Savannah ought to be represented at
the congress. In the very near future
ships drawing tweuty-siN feet OF water
will be coming to Sayauuah's wharves,
and she viii be able to Offer lower freight
rates for grain than any other southern
port She already has steamship lines to
Boston. New York and Philadelphia, and
therefore the purchases OF Kansas MGR
chants in those cities can be transported
at less cost to their destination by means
Of the steamship and railroad facilities
she has than by any other route.
The Importance of the congress to Sa-
vannah, therefore, is apparent and Sa-
vannah will fail in her duty to herself if
she does not have a representative there
The Board Of Trade should take hold of
the matter and make a favorable re
Spouse TO the efforts of the Kansas people.
They are seeking closer trade relations,
and we should meet them half way.

AFTER CONCESSIONS.

GREAT BRITAIN WANTS A CABLE STATION
 IN HAWAII.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 20.-A corre- spondent at Honolulu, writing under date of October 13, says: Two commissioners recently arrived at Honolulu for the pur- pose of negotiations with the Hawaiian government for concession for projected cable between British Columbia and Au- stralia. They were Hon. San ford Flem- ing, representing Canada, and MT. Mer- cer of the British foreign office. Yester- day special conference with the govern ment took place.
 One of the propositions concerned the possible occupation of Necker island as a cable station. They also discussed with the government the question of conces- sions for the landing of cable near Houo- lulu. The attitude of the >geysEEse,rfnieeSr E ,rfnieeSr in replying to the Commissioners was adverse to making special concessions of any sort, owing to prior exclusive treaty engage ments with the United States.
 There is strong reason for the opinion that the commissioners do not really de- sire to occupy any western inlet as a cable station, but decidedly prefer Honolulu if they can secure special concessions.
 There seems to be no doubt that England will be compelled to adopt Oahu as her coaling station.
 Her British majesty's ship Hyacinthe sailed this morning for Bird island to make soundings and examine the landings for 0 posSible station.
