WALLACE, Ida, April Isl. E. Perry
killed his mother with a hatchet this
morning, presumably in a fit of insanity.
The family, consisting of father, mother,
wife and baby of the murderer, arrived
from Tekoa Thursday.
Henry Ellers, milkman, went to the
house to deliver milk, and when Mrs.
Perry went to the door, Perry caught his
mother struggled with her an instant
then knocked her down. Approaching
with a hatchet he ordered Ellers to leave.
Ellers hurried away for help. but when
he returned the woman was lying on the
floor hacked to pieces and the murderer
had fled After numbering his mother,
Perry picked up his baby and walking
quietly out doors handed it to his wife
and fled. The sheriff and city marshal
overlook the murderer about mile dis
tant from the house and he Immediately
drew the bloody Ratchet and dared them
to approach him.. There was a lively
struggle, but they overpowered and
brought him back to Jail. 1t is learned
that Perry had long been subject to fits
and has twice been in an asylum, first
at Pueblo, Colo, and later at Medicine
Lake. Wash. AT times when young Per-
ry was suffering from his disease he was
inclined to quarrel with his father. This
morning it was evident that another at
tack was coming on SO his father went
away. Young Perry is about "a years old

HELENA, Mont, April 1S-News was
received here this morning that some
time last night a powder magazine
belonging to the Broadwater group of
mines near Neihart exploded. Six men
are known to be killed and one is miss
ing; sixteen were injured, many seri-
ously This is the third serious mine
accident in this state in two weeks.
The death list is now placed at seven
as follows: .
Killed-Frank Moran, w. J. Morri-

CHER.
The seriously wounded are Joseph
Doran, James Connolly George Doran
a brother of Frank, c. Smith, Mike
L. Loban and Matt Brown. Many
others are cut and bruised.
The accident occurred in magazine
used for thawing powder. Frank Do
ran was looking after the powder and
had just commenced loading the maya
zine when the explosion occurred. 1t
is supposed his candle ignited the pow
der. He was found twenty feet from
the magazine in another drift. He
must have seen danger and tried to
escape. The men had just finished their
midnight luncr and were on the way
back to work; thirty had to pass the
magazine and it exploded as half of
them were past. Those in the center
are dead and seriously wounded. The
mine has badly caved in. Superinten-

over thirty pounds of powder in the
magazine. Doran leaves a wife and
two children; the Others are single

an Unwavering Friend Of the
White Metal.
Especial to Tho Heraldl

BOISE. Ida, April Ex-senator Shoup
in an open letter to the Republicans of
Idaho, to be published in tomorrow S
Statesman, defends his position in voting
against taking up the tariff bill for con-
sideration. He refers to the attacks made
on him by Dubois in this state, and says
the accusation cannot be sustained and
is made by parties who deem it legiti-
mate to disrupt the Republican party in
the state. Continuing, he says:
Il desire to emphasize my unwavering
loyalty to silver in the most emphatic
language possible, and challenge any
man to be a more ardent or jealous adj
vocate of unlimited coinage of silver than
myself. L have advocated it in every
speech that l have made in our state, as
well as by my votes and speeches in the
senate, and shall continue 10 work faith
fully and zealously on all opportune &C
caSlons to accomplish that end. l doubt,
however, the propriety of coupling tariff
and silver in the same BILL nor do l be-
lieve we can secure friends for silver by
threatened coercion. I believe it is our
duty is senators to pass a bill that will
create sufficient revenue to defray the
expenses of the government In failing
to do so we invite the president to resort
TO the issuance of bonds to cover the de-
ficiency an act for which we had pre-
viously criticised him.

ARE AFTER THE
MISSIONARIES
Turks Again Getting in Their
Usual Work.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 1S.-Tele-
grams from Bitlis, eastern Turkey,
state that the houses of Rev. George z.
Knapp and Rev. Royal M. Cole, Ar
menian missionaries for the American
board Of foreign missions, Boston, have
been blockaded by the Turkish gov
eminent and the servants are not al
lowed to go to and come from the
markets.
On March Is orders were given by
the Turkish government, requiring
that they and their families should all
leave Bitlis by the southern route The
sionaries heartily acknowledged the &C
tivity of Mr.. John W. Riddle, the Uni
ted States charge d'affaires, in secur-
ing the notification of the order is
sued March &C.. for the expulsion of
Messrs. Knapp and Cole and their
families, and the zeal of Sir Philip
Currie, the British ambassador, in sup
porting MI. Riddles demands.
Sir Philip Currle told the Turkish
minister for foreign affairs that the
American missionaries co-operated
with Great Britain in the distribution
of relief and that he would not see
them driven away.
1t is further learned that on Febru-
airy 81, fifty-seven Armenian prisoners
at Bitlis were released, after being
confined, most of them, four months.
With few exceptions, all were leading
men. Among them was the Oldest and
foremost Armenian Protestant. His
brother and son, who was the
head teacher in the Boys High
school of the American board,
were both killed. and for four
months he had not been allowed
to see his family. He was the only
one who could not be forced to sign
the address of thanksgiving to the
sovereign, saying that the only thing
he could express himself as thankful
for is that he rest of them had not been
killed. When they were released and
were called on to pray for the long
life of the sultan, with cheers, he kept
silent, saying that his heart was
broken, and that he could not join.

LONDON, April 1S.-The alleged
terms of the secret treaty between
Russia and China were reprinted here
today, from German paper, and have
created bad impression, though it is.
evident that the statements made are
not wholly true. According to thei
story. China permits Russia in war;
time to use any of her ports to mob-i
ilize, repair or coal her warships andi
to raise supplies in China. The latter
also allows Russia to use Port Arthur. !
Kian-Shoo or any other port of the
Kian-Shoo or Che Kiang, naval or
military base.
OTHER STARTLING PROVISIONS
include branch line of the Siberian
railroad to Talien-Wan, controlled CO.
jointly for fifteen years by Russia and
China. Then the latter, if capable, .
takes charge of the railroad and there
is a virtual cessiOn to Russia of an .
island opposite Talien-Wan and sew
eral points on the south side, as a pro-
lection to the Siberian railroad, the .
opening of the Chinese markets to
Russian goods and Russia to send sew
eral hundred officers to drill 100000 !
Chinese trooDS. |
The Globe this afternoon says: j

there has been no doubt of the exis- /

is over it is not likely that Russia will

Remains of Suicide Discovered in
the Hudson River.

Remains of a Suicide Discovered in
the Hudson River.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-The Herald
this morning published a detailed
story giving an account of the identi
fication of the remains of a suicide in
the Hudson river off Yonkers. Ac-
cording to the Herald the facts con-
corning the suicide were concealed by
the mans friends at the time of his
death. In connection with the case
the Herald says:
Mr.. Jones'" as he was declared to be
by the coroner and the police, was
Major General Blackburn Jones, and
was a commander during the civil
war, and subsequently a lawyer in St.
Louis, Chicago and this city. General
Jones was in command of the Sixty
sixth regiment, United States colored
troops. and was mustered out with the
brevet rank of major general of vol
unteers. He received several wounds
in battle, and was awarded a pension,
which he had made arrangements to
collect through William A. Harding
of this city at the time of his suicide.
General Jones stopped the practice OF
law about three years ago and accepted
the proposition Of several mining COM
agent in Europe. He arranged to float
their bonds and stocks in foreign mar
kets. He had a wide acquaintance in
London, Paris and Berlin and the
proposition being very grateful to
him, was accepted. He made several
trips abroad and was at first greatly
encouraged by his success. He finally
became more especially interested in
the Queen City Iron Mining company,
and devoted most of his attention to
that corporation. Then the hard times
affected all American securities abroad
and ne took the failure very much to
heart He became respondent, as one
of his old wounds was troubling him,
and he decided TO give UP active bust
ness. General Jones called on Mr..
Harding two weeks before his suicide
and told him that his head was troub-
ling him greatly. He continually heard
ringing noises and he said he believed
his mind was becoming affected.
General Jones committed suicide on
the day Mr.. Harding received his pen
sion certificate with the request that
he collect the money. General Jones
belonged to the celebrated Blackburn
family of Kentucky. He had three
brothers. One of them, Colonel John
Wesley Jones of this city, was post
master of Brooklyn and is still a very
prominent politician.

Professors Plat and Wightman
Spend an Interesting Evening.
CHICAGO, April 1S.-Professors Pratt
and Wightman spent the evening in their
laboratories-a prolonged and scientific
wake over four little collins of scourges.
The inscriptions were cholera, tubercu-
losis, hog cholera and diphtheria. The
victims had been pierced by the Roentgen
raw thirty-six hours previously. They
showed not the slightest indication OF
life, fact which may or may not lead to
further proof that the scientists are right
in their claim that their experiments nave
found a solution for the infectious and
contagious diseases. They withhold any
positive verdict until a week shall elapse,
until the germs shall have had time to
recover from their stunned condition; I'M
til they shall refuse to revive and go. TO
work in the most tempting appetizing
imitation of human tissue that can be
made
It is the theory that all the germs
coming directly under the focus will be
killed. This is the position of Prof.
Roentgen as well as the Chicago men.
There is no fear by the physicians that
the killing of the fatal bacteria would also
destroy those necessary to life.
