THE PlTZEL GIRLS.
Bodies of Two More Victims Of
SWindfer Holmes Found
In Toronto.
WERE BURIED IN 4 CELLAR.
The Little Ones Asphyxiated
by Gas While Locked
in a Trunk.

DETROIT, Mich, July 16.-A special
to The News from Toronto says: Found
buried in the cellar of the house, 8l6
St.. Vincent street, were the bodies Of
Alice and Nellie, the two missing
daughters Of Benjamin F. Pitzel. De.
tectives Cuddy Of Toronto and Geyer
OF Philadelphia made the discovery and
all doubts as to their fate have been set
at rest.
1t is now a matter almost beyond
doubt that FL. H. Holmes, when here
last October, deliberately murdered the
pair and thus rid himself of two troub-
lesome young beings after he had muir
dered their father in Philadelphia
Che inquiries begun by the police led
to the knowledge that
Holmes and the Children
lived at the house in question, and q
search was made by the two officers. A
photograph Of Holmes was shown to
Frank N. Nudel Of the educational de-
partment, who owns 816 and without
nny hesitation he identified it Us that
Of his tenant. When they reached the
cellar it appeared to the detectives that
something had disturbed the cellar
floor, and, arming themselves with
shovels, they began to dig. A short
distance below the surface they came
across the arm and a portion Of the
head of one Of the little murdered
girls. Further work soon revealed the
entire body. not only of the first, but
of her sister. They were both naked
and had lain there in all probability
since last October.
Asphy xiated In . Trunk.
There were no traces Of violence on
the bodies, and it is thought Holmes
decoyed the children into the trunk un-
der some protest and took them to the
house. Then gas was inserted by
means Of q tube through small hole.
The trunk, with hole In it neatly
covered over with strap tackled down,
was found in one of Holmes rooms.
The little girls when found were naked
and had been buried without coffin
Of any kind. No trace Of the boy How
ard, a lad of 8, has been found, but he
is thought to be dead. AS the crime
was probably committed in this coun-
try it will be necessary to extradite
Holmes and put him Oh trial for the
murder here

Damages for . Lake Collision Equally
Divided.
MILWAUKEE, July 16.-Judge Sea-
man decided that the loss caused by
the sinking Of the steamer Thomas s.
Smith by the steamer Arthur Orr off
Racine point, Nov. IL, 1893, should be
divided equally between the owners of
the respective steamers. The amount
at issue was $4,000. The point was
raised that the captain of the Orr was
guilty Of negligence in leaving Mil
waukee harbor after the fog had set in,
but Judge Seaman decided that it was
not an act of negligence to leave in a
fog, and that the officers of vessel
were only constrained to use the ut
most precaution in navigating in fog.

Bacteria are old established denizens

Renault has found their fossils in the

are known as destroyers Of the debris Of
plants.
Investigations are also being made re-
garding the part the newly discovered
gas, "argon, plays toward bacteria. So
far as can be ascertained, "argon" has
no effect chemically upon the higher
animals. 1t may, however, be necessary
to the nourishment of bacteria. Suppos-
ing "argon" not to be necessary to man
and necessary to bacilli, sterilization
will be rendered much easier and the

on. THE OTHER SIDE.

Statement Made by Mr.. Harvey at tho
Opening Of Il no Debate.
I am here to defend the facts and
principles in Coins Financial School.
I am aware that the illustrations in
that book are great aid in presenting
clearly it's views. We find this true IN
our schools. Many scientific works
rely largely on illustrations, and our
newspapers find that illustrations make
plain many ideas that could not other
wise be clearly expressed, and yet am
here to defend orally those same prin.
ciples. expect to make good, in this
debate, the following propositions:
!. That silver and gold are the
money of the constitution; that the
silver dollar was the unit Of value in
our coinage system in this country
from 1899 to 1878, just as the yard
stick was the measure of length. That
gold was measured in this silver unit.
and concurrent coinage given to it
(gold); that silver and gold combined
constituted the legal standard of value
in this county till 1868; silver measured
gold; the two together measured all
other property.
2. That the act of 1878 was surrep-
titiously passed.
8. That during the period 1902 to 1878
the minis were open to the unlimited
coinage of both metals into primary or
redemption money, and that both were
treated as such. That during that
period people had right to have either
metal coined into full legal tender
money, and that the option was with
the debtor to pay in coins Of either
metal.

Bloodshed in Turkey.

One phase of the Turkish troubles Is
that the protection of the residents of
Constantinople may Involve the whole
sale massacre OF the Christians who
dwell outside the city. The Turk is
always fanatic. Ordinary means will
never bring him to time. and the
New York Evening Post fears that the
attempt to coerce the sultan will only
excite the Mussulmans to renewed fury
against the Christians. The Post says:
There is no doubt that when the news
spreads that the sultan is overawed in
his palace by the guns of the allied fleet,
the fury Of the Mohammedan population
throughout the empire will be intense,
and will express itself In the slaughter of
Christians on a greater scale than ever.
This form of consolation in the face of
great public disasters has been custo-
mary with the Turks ever since they
made their appearance in Europe. down
to very recent period even the foreign
instructors in the Turkish army were by
no means sure OF their safety In case of
defeat. Moltke. foreseeing the overthrow
of the Turkish army. to which he was at
tached, by the Egyptians under Ibrihim
Pasha took care to get well in the rear
before the fight began, so as to be clear
of the enraged fugitives. This is now the
great danger of the situation. So long as
the sultan had power II was reasonable
enough to threaten him at Constantine
pie. but woe to the unhappy Christians in
the provinces when the news comes that
he has been dethroned or is dominated
by fleets. The truth is he ought not to
be bulled at Constantinople unless there
is a military force ready to maintain or
der In the interior. a fact which the pow
ers probably begin to perceive but do
not know what to do beyond protecting
Christian life and property at the capital,
and probably none of them perceives 1t
more clearly than Russia. A single d.
vision of cavalry in Asia Minor would be
worth more to the Christia sss than all the
fleets put together. Failing this, every eff
fort should be made to supply the Ar
menians with arms and ammunition.
The trouble is the powers are pursu-
ing shdlly-shallying policy, the result |
no doubt of their internal dissensions,
ana are paying little attention to the
taking of such prompt and effective
measures as the Post suggests. The
Turkish problem Is daily becoming
more complex and uncertain, and It
will be little short of wonder IL some
awful massacre does not occur before
its solution. tH. 3. sh-

Republican Representation.

The first formal step towards the
presidential contest OF 1896 will be
taken next Tuesday when, in obedience
to Chairman Carriers call, the republi-
can national committee will meet in
the city Of Washington. 1t will be the
duty of the committee to determine
upon the location of the national con-
vention. the date upon which 1t shall
be held and finally the basis of repre-
eertation. Touching the basis of repre-
eentation 1t has been proposed in
some quarters to introduce a radical
change. Under the old plan each
state was entitled to twice as many
delegates as 1t has electoral votes. The
pl7n proposed Is to give to each state
and territory two delegates and an
additional delegate for every 1000 votes
cast for the last republican candidate
for the presidency. This would in
crease the number of delegates to the
national convention There would be
great gains in New York, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Massachusetts,
In the East; IN the middle states there
would be a total gain OF 1872 in Indiana,
Ohio. Illinois. Michigan and Wisconsin;
in the states of iowa. Kansas, Mis-
souri,. Nebraska and Minnesota there
would be gain OF 70. Montana's dele
CATION would remain at six. The only
southern states that would gain would
be North Carolina and there would be
a considerable reduction of influence
in the South generally.
This plan was first suggested by
resolution adopted by a Massachusetts
convention IN 1884, and when the COM
mfttee met In 1891 10 call the conven-
ton OF 1892 1t was again presented to
the republicans. Within the past year
Mr.. Manley has asked for opinions of
leading republicans throughout the
country as to the advisability of adopt
ing the new plan and as to the author
dty OF the committee to make such a
radical change. 1t is reported that the
replies he has received generally favor
a change to the new plan and many of
them express the belief that the COM
mittee has the power to make the
change. But there are some strong
protests. especially from sections of the
country where the republican vote Is
light and because of these protests
and the doubt whether the committee
has authority to act without express
instructions from a national conven-
fions 1t is considered unlikely that a
change will be ordered for the next
national convention.
