MLAURIN ron SENATOR.
The GOvernOr-EIect Apt to Succeed
Senator George.


Jackson, Miss, Jan. 2.-Gov.-elect Nc
Laurin was in jackson to-day and in an
interview published in the Clarion Ledger
denies a Washington special to the Kan
sas City Times.
The Times correspondent says: Great
astonishment is expressed here that the
impression has got abroad that Gov. .-elect
McLaurin will be a cOntestee against Col
Money for election to the Senate, since
it is generally known that Senator George
conveyed to Mr. MeLaurin the first in
formation that he. would not be a candi-
date for reelection and on the next day
Mr.. McLaurin notified Col. Money OF this
fact and urged him to become candi-
date to succeed Senator George in the
United States Senate"
Gov. McLauriN says positively that
nothing of the sort occurred; that Senator
George never told him he would not again
be a candidate, and that he did not urge
be a candidate for the Senate.
He says further that what the Times
correspondent says about the conversation
about himself and Col. Money in stat
weeks Gov.-elect McLaurfn, who goes irto
office Jan. 21, has doomed up as a possible
successor to Senator George. There are
four avowed candidates for the place,
zone about as strong as the others, so that
a stubborn deadlock in the legislature Is
probable, in which event the friends of
the governor claim he will then hold the
key. Though Gov. McLaurin has not in
timated a desire to be the successor of
Senator George, his friends are wide
awake and will land him there if it is
possible.
The question, "who will be Senator
and the answer often is, 1T looks like
McLaurin."

BocH on HIS WAY SOUTH.
His Alleged Crime One of the Worst
Ever Committed in Florida.


Brooklyn. n. Y. Jan. MAX Boch. the
druggist who was arrested here yester-
day charged with having shot and killed
his uncle and aunt. Mr.. and Mrs. C. A.
Drolshagen. at Lawtey, Fla, on June
20. 1S9l. was to-day turned over to the
Florida authorities. who started south
with him.
The story OF the crime Is one of tha
strangest on record.
The victims. DR.. Gustave Drolshagen
and wife. lived all alone about a mile
from the depot The crime was not dis
covered until late oN the morning Of the
2lst. A nelghbor, R4o was passing was
struck by the fact that there were no
signs OF life about the house occupied
by the couple, and he concluded to make
an investigation. He entered the yard.
approached a window. which was open,
and looked into the room. on the bed
apparently in profound slumber. He
called to them, but there was no response.
He then entered the room and approached
the bed, when he saw that both Of them
were dead, Drained by blows from an AK.
The murdered people evidently never
knew what killed them. Each had been
killed by a single blow on the head. The
blows must have been delivered with
fearful force. for their heads were In a
horribly crushed condition. Brains and
blood We're scattered all over the bedding,
the bed.
1t was certain that robbery was the mo-
tive for the crime, for the couple had no
enemies. DIR. Drolshagen was reputed TO
be wealthy, and it was common talk In
the neighborhood that he kept large sums
of money in the house. Whether any
money was secured is not known, but II
is likely there was

was always considerable talk about the
couple, for It was known that they We're
not married, and did not claim to be.
About five years ago the nuns sister
came over from Germany, as she said, at
the request OF her sister, Louise. She gave
her name as Hedwig Glausmann. About a
month after her arrival GustaVe Drolsha-
gen and Hedwig Glausmann were married,
and the nun continued to live with them.
Two years ago they sold out the stock
of goods to the nun, and Droshagen

They did not remain long owing ia
the breaking out of the cholera. just
before they returned to Lawtey, Louise

BUSINESS MEN WANT PEACE.
The New York Chamber of Commerce
Adopts Resolutions.

New York, Jan. AT the regular
monthly meeting of the chamber of COM
merce held to-day, Francis B. Thurber,
chairman of the committee on foreign
commerce and the revenue laws. submit
ted a report on the Venezuelan ques-
tion, which says in part: "Since the
last meeting of the chamber a sudden
and deplorable check has been given to
our growing prosperity by an occurrence
which no foresight could anticipate, and
from quarter whence such blow was
least to have been expected. The special
message of the President upon the dis
pute as to the boundary between Vene-
Zuela and British Guiana, came as a sud-
den and unwelcome surprise to the COM
mercial world, and caused apprehension
of war to take the place of the calm spirit
of confidence. The losses caused by the
rude arrangement of business and by the
fall in the value of merchandise and of
securities are too painfully fresh to re-
quire discussion. The chamber should eX-
press its profound regret that the contin-
gency of war between the two great En-
glish speaking nations should have been
suggested as a possible outcome of the
pending correspondence in a controversy
in which the American people have now,
and probably can have. no more than a
sentimental and passing interest"
The following resolution was attached
" Resolved, That the chamber of Com
merce of the State of New York, being
profoundly impressed with the gravity
of the situation, which threatens the
peace, now and happily so long existing
between Great Britain and the United
States, appeals to the countries to avert
the calamity of war by a resort to arbi-
tration, or other friendly negotiation,
which has so often been found to be a
sufficient and satisfactory mode of set
Ting International disputes, and to which
both governments stand committed by
profession, precedent and the humanlta-
rian spirit of the age.
Carl Schurz submitted a resolution that
the president of the chamber appoint
special committee of members, of whom
the president shall be. one, to consider
the expediency of an effort to be made on
its part, in conjunction with similar or
ganizations, in the interests of interna--
tional peace and good understanding, and
to propose a joint committee to be COM
posed of citizens of the United States
and England, to be presided over by some
man of eminent ability, to be agreed upon
bv both sides, the commission to be con-
sidered as an advisory counsel.
Both resolutions were adopted with only
I,o1f q dozen dissenting voices.

TO REPORT a FREE COINAGE BILL.
The Senate Finance Committee Takes
Up the Bond Bill.


Washington, Jan. 2-The Senate finance
committee met this morning at 1880
o'clock and adjourned at 1890 until p.
m tomorrow. without having taken a
vote upon anything. The House bond bill
was the only matter under consideration.
When the committee adjourned the re-
publican members remained in consulta-
ton. while the democrats. accompanied
by Senator Jones OF Nevada, went to the
room of Senator Harris and held con-
ference. This latter meeting was intend
ed to be a conference of the silver men.
1t was apparent in fun committee that no
conclusion could be reached that did not
contemplate the free coinage of silver,
and the silver men suggested that Mr.
Jones of Arkansas be designated as a
subcommittee to prepare a bill that should
be submitted to the full committee to-mor-
row.
Mr. Jones this afternoon made the state
ment in behalf of the silver men that the
bill to be reported from the committee
would provide for the free coinage Of
silver, and that no issue of bonds would
be permitted. He was not so positive
about the issue of certificates of indebt-
edness authorized by the House bill to
meet the deficiencies, but was rather dis
posed to believe that the committe would
report adversely thereon.
The present intention of the finance
committee is TO adjourn tomorrow until
Tuesday upon which day the financial
measure agreed upon will be reported to
the Senate.

as the Transvaal, was originally formed
by part OF the Beers, who left the Cape
Colony for Natal, but quilted that colony
on its annexation to the British crown. In
1882 the Independence of the Transvaal
was recognized. The legislative power of
the state is now vested in a frst and sec

bers each. To the first chamber only
those born in the colony can be elected.

own property In the state can be elected
to the second chamber, whose functions
are chiefly for local affairs however.
The president of the republic is Paul +.
Kruger, known exclusively among the
Beers as Dom Paul, or Uncle Paul, and
he is occupying his position now for the
third term. He is nearly eighty years or
age, has carried the musket almost con-
tinuously, and through many troublous
seasons, against English aggressions. OF
a rugged exterior, untutored as regards
education he has shown a capacity 1or
government that has been match for
the most finished diplomacy and state
craft. On the one hand, he has had TO
deal with the Beers, primitive and unpro-
gressive; on the other hand. a larger pop
ulation of intelligent and specializing
English, who represent the mining inter
ests, and are for ousting old conditions
completely and establishing a new state
of things to suit their own interests.
1t was for the conservative OF the inter-
ests of the mining class that President
Kruger induced the first Nolksraad to
establish a second chamber to which they
could send their, representatives, the
Volksraad proper having, however, the
power of veto. Bad blood has long eX-
listed between the conservative Beers and
the English The latter have not forgot
ten the rebellion of the Beers in 1880
when they drove out their hereditary
foes, infiicting at Majuba Hin one of The
most ignoble and disastrous defeats re-
corded in England's annals. Many Eng
lishmen who own property in the country
would not perhaps be thought an unde-
sirable element in the Boer government
but the danger lies in the large and un-
desirable enigrant class, who have pour
ed into the country faster than they could
be absorbed and are now clamoring for
a share in the spoils of office.
