CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-The barroom Of
the Hotel LIE Grand, on Wells street,
was the scene of murder during the
morning. At q o'clock two men, a
"tall man and short man." as usual,
entered the saloon. The "tall man"
advanced to the bar and demanded of
the bartender, William Jahns, the
money in the till. Jahns reached be-
meath the bar and accidentally knocked
over a number of glasses, which fell to
the floor with crash. The ''tall man, !"
evidently thinking that the bartender
was reaching for pistol, drew Al

shots, one of the balls passing through
Jahns' heart. The men had no trouble
in making their escape.

mark an important epoch in the rela.
tions between the two English-speaking
nations, and in the Judgment of those
who have been most identified with its
consummation it will be the most i'm.
portant document of peaceful char.
acter in the history of their mutual
dealings. The president made passing
allusion to the su bject IN his recent
message. 1t has been understood, how.
ever, that the main purpose of Mr..
Olney was to reach an agreement as to
Venezuela, and that, having accom-.
plished this, the larger question of
Arbitrating All Differences
would require considerable time for its
complete development. But the nego-
tiations have proceeded with surpris-
ing unanimity SO that those engaged in
the work confidently believe that it
will be fully agreed upon and the sig-
natures of the contracting parties
placed to the documents within three
weeks. This will give fully two
months for the consideration and rati.
fication of the treaty at the present
session of the United States senate,
and unless some unexpected obstacle
should arise in that quarter. there is
every reason to anticipate that the
treaty
May BE Made Effective
before the close of the present admins.
tration. At least this is the confident
hope and expectation of those most con-
cerned in the negotiations.
Aside from the previously referred to
points, it can be stated in general
way that the terms of the treaty are
such as to "clear the board" of all the
vexatious questions which have arisen
between the United States and Great
Britain. These have been numerous in
recent years, and some of them have
threatened serious consequences
The main purpose of the treaty is to
guard against future differences
threatening rupture and in this the
negotiators believe that the terms Of
the Instrument will be such as TO avoid
all possibility of international conflict
for the future. This is regarded as the
