STOCKTON, Feb. 24.-The track of the
Valley railroad has reached the StanisIaus

laid on the bridge, when the work will be
rushed along as fast as possible. Track
laying will also be commenced again on
the Corrall Hollow road in the canyon
near the coal mines.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.-The directors
OF the San francisco and San Joaquin
Valley railroad have practically completed
obtaining all rights of way as far south Is
Merced. In addition to the $4,000 SUBJ
scribed by the citizens of Stockton
for rights Of way, the company has
had to pay an average OF $1,000 mile
from Stockton to Morced. The work of
procuring rights of way between Nero ed
and Fresno will be taken up Immediately.
TIE route Is such that it bisects a great
many sections Of land, and this fact, more
than anything else. causes q great many
owners of land to object and to ask q stiff
price from the company for right of way.
The entrance to Fresno is not yet in q
satisfactory condition. The directors, how :
ever, feel encouraged oser the fact that the
supreme court has granted q rehearing of
the writ of mandamus by which the com,
pany sought to compel the town trustees
of Fresno to give them an entrance into
the city. The rehearing is set for next
Monday.

An Associated Press reporter referred to
the offer of the Bolingbrook club OF Lon.

said they would not think of the offsr, ~
it was too small, and besides Corbett must
first get some sort of reputation before
daring to issue a challenge, or even think
of being taken on by the champion. rItz-

Maher and Slavin first, and if Corbett does
well with these mon he will give him .

state, I have concluded that some statement
from me as to my wishes and purposes should
now be made to my Indiana friends Hitherto
have declined to speak to the public upon this
matter, but scores of friends with whom have
talked and many scores more to whom have
written will recognize in this expression the
substance Of what have said to them. To
everyone who has proposed to promote my nom
nation, 1 have said No.
There has never been a hour since left the
White House that l have felt wish to return
to it.
My Indiana friends have been most devoted
and faithful and / am their grateful debtor.
The republican party has twice in national con-
VentiOns given me its Endorsement and that is
enough, l think the voters of cur party are now
entitled to have a new name. For the sentiment,
great or small, that has been manifested for my
nomination, l am grateful; and of that wider
respect and kindness breaking party lines
which have been shown me in so many ways,
am profoundly appreciative.
L cannot consent that my name be presented to
or used in the st. Louis convention and must
kindly ask my friends to accept this as a sincere
and final expression upon the subject

4 PAH-AHERIGlN CONGRESS.
For Closer Political and Commercial Relation
With the United States.
WOULD DEFINE MONROEEsM,
The Minister Of Foreign Affairs Of Ecus-
dor Approves and Is Working for
an International Pan-Ameri-
can Congress.

WASHINGTON, Feb. G. The movement
insugurated by the government of Ec-
uador for the holding of a congress of
representatives of ali the republics of
the Americans to define and endorse the
Monroe doctrine and to establish clos
or commercial and political relations
between them is rapidly taking form.
The Ecusdorian minister here, Senior
Carlo, has freely discussed the subject
with the other members of the dip
lomstic body who come from the south
and today to give an official character
to his mission, he addressed a copy of
q circular signed by the minister Of
foreign affairs of Ecuador to the min
iste + all the countries of South and
Central America, intended for trans
mission to each respective foreign Of
flee. It is stated by Senior Carlo that
while the city of Mexico is suggested
in the circular as the proper place Of
meeting, it does not follow that the
congress eventually will be held there,
for the first opportunity will be offered
the nations invited to express their
preferences in the matter of meeting
place and it may be that the city of
Washington will be selected.

A FATHERS AWFUL crime.
A Chicago Carpenter Murders lis Entire
Family.
SEVEN DEAD DISCOVERED.
The Mau, Respondent Through reing Got
Of Work, shoots His Father, Mother,
Wife and Three Children and
Then Suicides.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Richard Klattke, q
LakeView carpenter, murdered his
father, mother, wife and three children
last night aud then completed his work
by killing himself The dead are;
Richard KlattLe, IS years old; Kate
Klattke, his wife; John Klattke, his
father, aged 70; Nina Klattke, his
mother, aged n; Nina Klattke, daugh-
ter, aged nine; Anna Kiattke, daughter,
aged eight; Emma Klattke, daughter,
aged seven. The members of the
Klattke family were found dead early
this morning in their little cottage at
207 Berteau avenue. two blocks from
Cuyler, suburban station of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad, by
Matthew Brown, a saloonkeeper. Mr.
Brown, wishing some work done,
called at the Klattke home. He raped
on the door, but there was no response
Knowing that the Klattkes were
early risers he became suspicious, and
calling neighbors he broke in the door
In the house he found seven corpses
Each had bullet wound in the head
and death had evidently been instanta,
neous Beside the body of Richard
Klattke lay a revolver and empty
cartridge shells were scattered about
the rooms, One peculiar feature was
the lack of any indication of a strug.
gle on the part of any of the victims
except Mrs. Klattke. The odor of
chlOroform pervaded the house. From
this it is surmised that Klattke first
ehlOroformed the entire family and
had then at his leisure taken deIiber-
ate aim and put bullet into the brain
Of each.
Mr.. Brown took a hasty survey of
the premises and sent word to the po.
lice. A detail of officers was sent to
the scene in a patrol wagon and more
careful examination was made of the
surrounding. Everything pointed TO a
deliberately planned murder.
Klattke was Respondent His family
was cold and hungry. Since Christ
mas he had been out of work and he
ended his troubles just as relief was at
hand. On chair lay a milestone and
two knives, each OF which had been
sharpeRed. 1t was evident that Klattke
had prepared for possible failure OF
his revolver and had arranged for a
sure substitute, if needed.

.BlRTHIDHIRE HHTER BILL.
Chicago Thinks the Pure Water Bill Is Aimed
at Ter vulnerable Point
THE BAYARD RESOLUTION.
Il VIII BE Called Up After the Bond BIZ
Has Been disposed of-The PresI-
dent stiH Haids the Armenian
Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5,-The extent to
which impure water enters into the
causes OF epidemics and lad health
generally will have a full discussion
on the floor Of the house when the bill
Of Representative BarthOldt, of Mis-
souri,, for the prevention of the pollu-
ton of river water comes up. This
bill will present a question of wide
spread public interest Of nc more i'm
poFtance anywhere than in Washing
ton, where the water Of the Potomac
is the chief source of supply. Repre-
sentative Bartholdt says that his bill
is entirely general in its purpose and
not aimed at any particular city or
river. The bill was advocated by Sur.
geon-General Wyman, who spoke at
length upon the subject and who gave
some startling figures in evidence to
show that impure water was one of the
chief causes of epidemic diseases The
opposition to the bill comes from a
special standpoint. The Chicagoans
hold that this bill is especially devised
by St. Louis to operate against the
proposed drainage canal leading from
Lake Michigan into the Illinois river
and subsequently, into the Mississippi.
Representative Aldrich, of Chicago, is
bent upon the defeat of the measure.
The BsysFd Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-No programme
has been arranged yet for the consider
alton of the Bayard resolution by the
house, Chairman Hit, of the foreign
affairs committee, will call it up after
the bond bill has been disposed of IN
less there is an effort 10 bring forward
an appropriation ill, in which event
the resolution will have to wait. It
may not he heard from until next
week. Mr.. Hit will make a speech
upon the resolution, but it can be
safely predicted that he will not make
any personal attack upon Mr.. Bayard
as some Of his colleagues are eontem-
plating. Several republican members
of the committee will make speeches
and Messrs. Dinsmore, McCreary,
Money and other democrats are pre-
pairing to defend the ambassador
armenian Resolutions Held Up.
WASHINGTON, Feb. $50 far as can
be aseertained, there has been no de-
cisiOu on the part of the president and
cabinet touching the conveyance of
the Armenian resolutions recently
adopted by congress to the European
signatory powers The resolutions re-
quest the president to convey to the
powers the action of congress ia this
connection. The matter has been IN
der consideration by the cabinet, but
the propriety and policy of conveying
the resolutions to the powers are CON
sidered doubtful

on boomers, and all wearers of that
garment will hereafter pay him a roy
atty. The application was made last
August, when the bloomer craze was at
its height. The delay in the issuance
OF the patent was OccasiOned by the re-
search necessary to determine the point
of whether boomers were patentable.
Fhe pantalettes upon which Mr.. Royce
asked a patent were carefully compared
with those worn in the Turkish harems
and in Persia, with the result that a
patent was issued to the applicant this
week.
