PETERS WILL DE INVESTIGATED


Berlin, March 14.-Dr. Kayser, direc-
the reichstag today that in view of the
charges made by Herr Bebel, who ac-
cused DR.. Carl Peters, the explorer, of
causing negro and negress to be hang
ed without trial while he was imperial
commissioner in Africa during 1891. a
fresh inquiry will be held into the mat
ter. DR.. Kayser added that previous ev-
'idence had not established the guilt of
Peters in the eyes of the law. Count
Won Armin then read a letter from Dr.
Peters, declaring that Herr Bebers as
sertions were partly untrue and partly
exaggerated. The negro. he said, was
tried by court martial for burglary
and the negress was never punished. 1t
was another negress, he explained, not
his servant. who after having been sent
enced to be confined in irons for six
months. was condemned to death in
February. 1892 for attempting to es-
cape.
DR.. Peters further denied that he had
been maIied to negress, according to
Mohammedan rites.
DIR. Kayser then read a statement
in which Peters admitted that the con-
demned negress was his mistress.
Lenzmann declared that Peters was a
madman or a monster, and he, Leist and
Weylan should be punished according
to the law.

PROMINENT MERCHANT ASSIGNS
PecuIiar transactions and Involves
Large Interests.

ST. Paul, March 15--P. II. Kelly, one
Of the best known merchants and poll
ticians in the state. has made personal
assignment to ]. +. Mayer of Mankato,
MINI. The assets are said 10 be $780,
900 liabilities, $780, 900.
The assignment is a peculiar one, ac-
cording to the story Of Kelly's attorney,
which is that there is no need for any
failure as far as financial difficulties
are concerned, but the assignment has
been made to close UP the estate more
easily In case Kelly should not recover
from thesevere attack Of pneumonia
which has confined him to his rooms for
some days. The papers were filed Sat
urday afternoon, but the fact did not
become public until today.
Mr.. Keily's private estate is estimat-
ed at being worth from 100000 20 $780,
900. but no accurate statement can be
given. His attorney says his assets ex-
ceed the liabilities. Ii is stated that
the =. II. Kelly Mercantile Company
will assign to w. y. Jordan Of Miles
City, for the same reason that caused
the assignment of Kelly. The mercan-
tile company is rated at half a million
dollars and its credit is the highest.
Business will so on as usual and will
in no way be interfered with by the as
signment.

PLANT TOO COSTLY
Report Against Public Manufacture
of Armor Plate.

Washington, March 14.-Commodore
Hitchborn, chief of the bureau of con-
struction and repair of the navy depart
ment, today gave the senate committee
on naval affairs his opinion as to the
advisability of erecting a government
plant at Washington for the manufact-
ure of armor plate. He advised against
the undertaking, saying that a plant,
Independent of the ground for site,
would cost about s2.0000O0 and that it
would be impossible to keep the works
In operation all the time. Skilled labor
was necessary In the making of armor
plate, and as this work would not be
continuous IL would be necessary, in
order to hold the workmen, to pay them
for much idle time.

HE CHARGED WITH MURDER
Chns. E. PIunkett Arrested for Con-
nection With the Death of Peril.

The first arrest made. in connection
with the murder of old Domenic Peril,
whose badly bruised and battered body
was found In Hangman creek a few
weeks ago. was made yesterday at Lew
iston, Idaho. On telegram from the
Warren Detective Agency of this city,
Charles e. Plunkett was arrested and
held on the charge of being connected
with or knowing something of the mur-
der.
Two Italians were also arrested in
the Occur d'Alene country last night,
on the same charge.
1t is alleged that these three parties
enticed the old Italian from the dance
hall, where he was last seen alive, to the
neighborhood where his body was found,
and there murdered and thrown into
the creek. 1t is said that these three
parties were seen with him, left the
dance hall with him, returning in about
an hour and a half without him and
spent considerable money.
Plunkett is said to be quite well known
in Lewiston. He lived here a few years
ago, then going under the name Of
Charles Miller, either running a grocery
store for himself or working in a gro
Gerry store. From here he went up to
Kaslo or that section of the country,
where, it is understood, he has been
working in mine. He only returned to
the city week or such a matter before
the murder He says that he will have
no difficulty in proving an alibi, and has
sued for a writ of habeas corpus before
Judge Piper of Moscow, which writ is
made returnable Monday. The officers
say that If he is not the person wanted
then 1t Is peculiar case of mistaken
identity.

THE DIPHTHERIA AT ELLENsBURG
Dispatches From Yakima Exagger-
ated the Situation.

Ellensburg, Wash, March 15.-Dis-
patches sent out from Yakima in regard
to diphtheria here are grossly mislead-
ing, and have scarcely any foundation
in fact. At no time has there been
much apprehension of an epidemic, the
schools having been closed as stated in
these dispatches as precautionary
measure.
AS showing the true state of affairs,
the following official bulletin is sub
mitted:
Health Office Ellensburg, Wash,
March Is, 1S96.-Since the first case of
diphtheria was reported to the board
of health, on the 7th inst, there have
which proved fatal. The other four
were mild cases, and all have been dis
charged by the physicians. No new
cases have been reported since last Tues
day. and there is every reason to believe
the disease is under control.
"P. P. GRAY, Health Officer"
The names of those who had the dis
ease were Mabel Mcdowell, aged IA,
there being three other children in the
family but none took it; Orin Craig,
aged IA Maud Coble, II; Hattie Coble,
IA; Mark Mudd, IS months old, died.
This list is submitted for the reason
that many friends and relatives of the
normal school students throughout the
state are uneasy
The normal school has not been closed
at all. The excitement has nearly all
subsidized.

serted by the president. the next two
were written in the cabinet and on the
presidents suggestion, added by the secs
retary Of state; the last and concluding
three were written and added in the
cabinet by the secretary of the navy
Speaker Fish then showed facts to
demonstrate that the policy of the adj
ministration on this matter of Cuba ap-
pears to have been adopted by the re-
publican party by decisive vote in the
house of representatives ON the pend
ing resolution suggesting belligerent
recognition, and the state department
was free to pursue its Alabama negotia-
tions.
Senator Cameron, in the recent mi
nority report of the senate committee
of foreign affairs, alluded to a rumor
of belligerency proclamation having
been signed by President Grant. The
state department had on the request
of the president prepared a draft of
proclamation of belligerency. Some
time after the president signed 1t he
went on a journey to the west and on
the way wrote the following letter:
Kane. Pa, August IA, 1S69.-Hon.
Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State
My Dear Sir: On reflection 1 think 1t
advisable to complete the neutrality
proclamation which l signed before
leaving Washington and to issue it if
General Sickles has not received an en-
tirely satisfactory reply to his propo-
sition to mediate between Spain and the
Cubans. Not that Spain has not a per-
feet right to prosecute as vigorous
war as she pleases upon her own soil,
observing the rules of civilized warfare,
but that the rights of our citizens have
been so wantonly invaded by Spanish
troops or volunteers that such course
would arouse the sympathies of our
citizens in favor of the Cubans to such
a degree as to require all our vigilance
to prevent them from giving material
aid.
Except the issuing of the proclama-
ton / do not give this as instruction,
but as something to think OF whether it
is not sound. If deemed so the policy
of acting upon it will be discussed af-
terwards. Yours truly,
"U. s. GRANT"
On July Is. 1870, in a conversation in
which Fish had expressed to the presi-
dent his desire to retire from the Of
flee, Fish was strongly urged by the
president to remain through his term.
These are the words of the diary up
on the subject:
"The president said: Without re-
ferring to other instances on two i'm
portant occasions at least, your stead
mess and wisdom have kept me from
mistakes into which 1 should have fall

me against my judgment at the time

signing the Cuban message. / now see
how right you were and l desire most
sincerely to thank you. The measure

quiesced In it.
"He repeated that he wished TO thank
me especially for these two occasions.
They were, one preventing the issuing,
last August and September, of the proc
lamation of Cuban belligerency which
he had signed and which he wrote me
a note instructing me to complete

friends of the family were in court to-
day to attend the hearing of the appeal
from Judge Buckwalter's decision, re-
manding Scott Jackson and A. w.
Walling to Kentucky to answer for the
murder of Pearl Bryan.
The points relied on by the attorney
for the prisoners r. M. Case, presented
by the bill Of exceptions, is that it does
not charge directly the commission of
the crime in Kentucky, and no proof
has been presented that the prisoners
ever were in Kentucky, therefore they
are not fugitives from justice. Judge
Ermston, for Jackson, began the argu-
ment, picking flaws in the indictment
The arguments were concluded and
the court adjourned until Monday.
