Means Much for United States.

SEATTLE: Chinese residents of this
city have appointed a committee, repre-
senting three big Chinese mercantile con-
Germs in Seattle, to wait upon and pay
their respects to Ii Hung Chang upon his
arrival at Vancouver, enroute home.
Mark Ten Suie, who is representative Of

the United States; that Ii will, upon his
return to China, begin the construction of
a system comprising no less than $4,000
miles OF railroad, and that old and silver
mines in range of mountains, extending
for ] 800 miles along northern China, will
be opened. Much iron and machinery to
be. used in developing these enterprises,
Mark Ten Suie states that from private

BESSIE Little,s Murder.

DAYTON, Ohio: Although Bessie Lit
tie was murdered over week ago there
is still intense interest in the case, which
is developing into murder of as much
deliberation as that of Catherine Cling at
Minneapolis, and into almost as afro
cious disposition of the body as that Of
Pearl Bryan, whose head was never
found. Every day evidence is accumulat-
ing to show that Albert Frantz deliber-
ately drove the girl to an obscure place
along the Saltwater River, shot her and
threw her body from the bridge into the
river. He told a story of Bessie shooting
herelf while they were riding and that in
fright he threw the body over the bridge
and hastened home. He stuck to this
theory since his arrest, but the missing
link is revolver which Frantz admits he
threw into the river with the body. Chief
of Police Ferrell had the river dredged
and used magnets. Crowds line the river
banks, while divers are going down and
securing the bottom of the river. If found
the revolver completes the evidence
against FranZt,

Bradstreet,s Rexiew.

New YORK: Bradstreet's says: The
feeling among jobbers and manufacturers
last week that an improvement in de-
mand for seasonable stables was in sight
was evidently well founded, for at more
than dozen centers south and west de-
mand is now more active, the volume of
sales has increased, and the general out
look is much more favorable for business
later in the autumn. Notwithstanding
the Labor Day interruption, the weeks
volume of business is slightly heavier,
several cities reporting larger demand
this week to replenish depleted stocks
than during the two preceding months,
notably among jobbers in groceries, hard
ware, dry goods, millinery, hats and
shoes. The most marked improvement is
at Chicago, st. Louis, st. Paul, Minneap-
oils, Pittsburg, Charleston and Augusta,
although other cities have reported bet
ter feeling and prospects for more active
demand.
Exports of wheat, -four included as

the Crisis-Other Items.
Tells of the War in Cuba.

OMAHA: Arthur Mcpherson, native
of Scotland has returned to Omaha after
having spent most eventful two years
of his life among the Cubans. He went
TO Cuba TO install some machinery, but
was taken prisoner by the ins urgents. He
and his companions were charged with
being Spanish spies. The accusation had
j touch of the ridiculous about it, as not
one of them could speak word of Span
ish. The party was given sort of court
martial and given the option of death or
serving in the Cuban army. They could
do nothing but accept the situation.
at is undoubtedly true, said "Mr. Me-
Pherson that the Spaniards take out in
surgent prisoners and shoot them down,
but have witnessed deeds of cruelty on
the part of the insurgents that fully
eQualled that. ! have seen them frequent
ly hand over the women and particularly
the young girls found in the houses that
were raided to the negro soldiers in the
army who were allowed to do with them
as they pleased. The whole island is
wrecked and ruined. There are no plan
tatons and no ranches. Everything has
been destroyed"
'The Cubans will win," continued Nc
Pherson. 1.-The Spaniards' army must
carry everything with them on expedl-
tions. There are no provisions to be OBJ
tanned in the interior. Spain cannot stand
the expense of such warfare"

Miners Likely TO Suffer.

WASHINGTON: Information received
at the Treasury Department indicates
that there is likely TO be much suffering
among the miners at Cooks Inlet who are
returning from the Alaska gold fields, I'M
less the commercial companies who took
them north provide for their passage
home. More than year ago the depart
ment notified the commercial companies
that thereafter the Government could not
furnish transportation for these miners
and that if the companies took the miners
north they should look out for their re-
turn. 1t is said that if all the cutters in
Behring Sea were pressed into service
they could not accommodate more than
120 men. There are said to be nearly LOCO

Is fastening the Crisis.

CoNsTANTINoPLE: To those who have
eyes TO see, there is more and more evil
dent the approach of crisis in the affairs
of the decrepit Ottoman Empire. Though
the limit has apparently been reached IN
tie patience of the EuroI can powers,
there is no diminution in the rancOr dis
played by the MusSulmans towards the
Armenians, and no sign of the relinquish-
ment of the Turks contention that the Ar
menians are persistent and determined rev.
olutionists and agitators against the SOW
ereignty of the Sultan, and as such invite
the stringent repressive measures that
have been used against them.
Some color has to be admitted to this
contention of the Turks from the fact
that some of the ENJOYS of the powers
have received a circular note from the
Hintchak revolutionary committee, de-
claring that if the reforms demanded by
the ArmenianS at the time of the raid by
them upon the Ottoman bank are not
granted, there will be more serious out
break against the Turkish authorities and
over a much wider area than was the last,
which resulted in the apparently IndlS-
criminate slaughter of Armenians in this

folly to think she would ever give her
consent to the marriage of her grandson
in-law so soon after the death of her
treasure.
The story the neighbors tell, and they
told it under oath before the Grand Jury,
is that Saturday afternoon after the death
of his wife Paul was with Grandma"
Dulin. They talked about the death OF
his wife and how lonesome he would be
without her. The noon hour came and the
old lady, feeble as she was, moved herself
around and prepared dinner for the two.
Paul was with her in the kitchen and she
had his sympathy. They partook of the.
meal. "Jim, this tea doesn't taste right"
she said. ''There is a bitter taste to it
that don't like. l can't drink any more
of e" She had only finished half of the
cup, but two days afterward she died in
spasms. Paul's arrest followed, and then
commenced the unraveling of the chain
of circumstances which makes the outlook
gloomy for the accused. He was brought
to the Webster City jail, where he has
since maintained a discreet silence. He

only denies his guilt and insists his wife
and her grandmother died from natural
causes.
Paul was hardly placed safely behind
the bars before the proper officers com
menced gathering evidence. The remains
of his wife had been laid to rest in a GEM
etery in Webster County, only few miles
from her former home. This was done in
accordance with her expressed wishes in
life. The remains of Grandma" Dulin
were inferred in Hamilton County. Both
the bodies were exhumed. The stomachs
were sent to State Chemist Floyd Davis
at Des Moines for analysis. In a few
days word came from Des Moines that
unmistakable signs of strychnine poison
ing had been found.
