NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 14.-In a
hatch of letters received by Rev. DR..
Chester, secretary of the executive
committee of foreign missions OF the
Southern Presbyterian church, from
Rev. D. W. Snyder. a missionary in
the Congo state. is disclosed a most
wretched state of affairs. They tell
an awful story of murder and pillage
and show the great peril the mission
aries in the Congo state are in. The
letters cover dates from July IL to
August 81 and tell of outrages by the
soldiers upon women, and the con-
slant suspense the missionaries and
their families endure because of the
conduct of soldiers and the uprising

dation whatever for the alleged st.
Petersburg dispatch cabled to the
United States by the Reuter- news

liam, nor did the car say that the
German emperor could firmly rely on
his support and the support of the
states friendly to Russia. namely:
France and the United States.
1t is also untrue that the Russian
minister for foreign affairs, Prince
Lobanof- Rostovsky, commended an

six7tha3R'espudiating the theory that a
pgee qso p1 the raeid extngush
ment of the national debt and the main
tenance of the sinking fund therefor;
Mr.. Mills resolution went to the table

remarks upon it.
A bill granting to the Atchison & Ne

The bond silver bill was taken up at
2 o'clock and Mr.. Butler (Pop) N. c.
offered an amendment prohibiting the
issuance of interest bearing bonds, and
directing the secretary Of the treasury
market values of the coins.
Mr.. Butler spoke in opposition to bond
issues. 1t would not do, he said for
either the Republicans or Democrats of
the. senate to evade responsibility by
saying that 1T had no majority.
Il pledge" said he, six peoples
party votes in this chamber to either
party that will stop the further issue
of bonds, and six votes will. give that ma
lorfty to either side In fact, either
party can have a majority in this body
when it desires to pass any law in the
interest of the American people"

lily u Fugitive from Justice.
CHICAGO, Jan. IA local paper
says:
The name of the man who. Monday
morning, asphyxiated his wife, five
children and himself, is not Peter
Hougaard, but Jens Hansen. The
murderer was a fugitive from justice,
having swindIed his creditors out of
SAC, 600 and fed to America. Upon his
arrival in this country he assumed the
name of Peter Hougaard. A letter
written by the mans wife to the Dan
ish viee-consul January 5, indicates
that she was not ignorant of her hus-
bands purposes Other circumstances
connected vita the case would tend to
show Hansen had probably been en-
gagged in crooked transactions since
coming to Chicago and had been made
desperate by the failure of his schemes.
While it was at first thought the deed
was caused by restitution. investiga-
ton, IT is said shows this was not
entirely the case.
In examining among the personal
effects of the dead family a number
of letters were found throwing light
on the circumstances leading UP to the

to the dead mans mother in Denmark

THE ACTION BINDING.

When quiet was restored once more
the question of making the action of
the caucus binding on the members of
the party in both houses was raised.
1t was debated with great caution by
members of both the Bennett and
Brown factions, both sides opposing it
at first. OF course all this was mere
sparring for position. AS the talk pro-
gressed it was noted that a feeling Of
confidence was manifest in the state
ments Of Jones and the assertions of
Critchlow. Finally a vote was taken
and the caucus resolved to stand by
its action.
This action constituted the first bull
letin by the grape vine wire and when
announced to Arthur Brown he said
Good" Bennett too said Good" and
Frank J. made a remark to the effect
that that was what he wanted.
Bulletin No. 2 was announced at 10
o'clock. when Allison rushed into
Browns headquarters and declared the
members were debating the question
of having a secret ballot or an open
one.
Fight for an open ballot" declared
Brown. What 1 want is an open
fight in a fair field, where all can see
what is going on"
But" said Allison, I'VE are likely to
gain some votes on secret. ballot.
There are three or four of the Bennett
men who want to vote for you and
who are pledged TO Bennett"
Wen, go as you please was the
reply Of Allisons chief, ''but I prefer
an open fight"
1t was finally decided. in the caucus,
that secret ballot should be taken.

NAMES PRESENTED.

Inside the hall Allison nominated
Arthur Brown in a speech which
should have been reported stenograph-
ically in order that the people may
know what a brilliant man Brown is.

Then Harry McCallum and old man

there was more noise than could have

graphs.
Lynn slid down the banisters and
carried the news to the judge and Fred

In the District Court yesterday
afternoon Judge Wilcox heard the
case of Hyman Bros. vs.. Akina.
Plaintiffs sued for the value of a
bill of goods sold to defendant
personally and sent to his store at
Keauhou.
The defendant claimed that
when he purchased the goods he
did it as administrator and mana.
ger of Akana's store at Kailua
and that the goods were sent to
that store.
The plaintiffs proved that the
defendant had dealt with them
personally for three years,
during which time he
had paid them money and signed
notes in his own name. They had
an entirely separate account with
the estate of Akana.
Attorney Davis for the defense
moved for q nonsuit on three
grounds, that the defendant was
not liable, that il liable it was on
ly as administrator of Akana, and
that the case came within the sta,
tute Of frauds.
Judge Wilcox refused the non
suit and gave Judgment for the
plaintiffs in the sum of $l95.5l.
