MRS. iuETeEaT LOCATED AGAIN.
A st. Louis Editor Positive That She Wa,

A St. Louis Editor Positive That She Was
at Boston Last July.
Boston, Dec. 10.-The Globe TODAY
says: Mrs. Luetgert, the supposed VIC
tim of the sausage manufacturer muir
derer. so-called, in Chicago, is alive and
well. Mrs. Luetgert was seen in this
city during the month Of J-,y, acknowl-
edged her identity, beside giving more
or less explanation relative to the rea-
sons which caused her to leave her hus-
band, who is again to be tried for his
life. Such was the startling declara-
ton made by Editor John H. Scofield. of
st. Louis, to a Globe man. Schofield SUM-
plemented hisstatement further with the
positive assurance that Mrs. Lueteert
was at the house I Bullfnch place for
n period of three or four DAYS during
the middle of July last
He said he based this assurance unon
the fact that Mrs. Luetgert, while in
Boston, acknowledged her full identity
with the assertion that she left her hus-
pand. the Chicago sausage-maker. be-
cause OF his actions with other women
as well as for reasons which she Thought
would help him in his financial embar-
rassmert in business. He further as
serted that he believed that Mrs. Luet-
CERT was still in Boston. and that she
would yet be found. The Globe has in
terviewed the Mrs. Moss. of Bullfinch
place, who says that the woman SUD-
posed to be Mrs. Luetgert went by the
name OF Millie Barker. One day the
woman seemed distressed after reading
an account Of the trial Of Luetgert, and
when questioned by Mrs Moss said:

probably later be definitely formulated
and laid before congress. Briefly the
plan is to place the reptblic under a
commission appointed by congress and
10 govern 1t, for time, at least. just
es the District of Columbia Is governed
The commission would. in effect, be su.
preme and the republic would become
an absolutism-an oligarchy.
There would be no representative ma.
chinery, no legislature, or council no
elections, no electoral franchise. While
II lasted, this would dispose of any
doubts as to the capacity Of the people
10 govern themselves. 1t would dis.
pose OF any questions as TO the quail
hcations of voters and the political
status of the imported Chinese laborer,
ana would postpone a decision of the
question whether japanese on the ISL
and and the native laborers should be
permitted to vote. 1t is not contended
that such a system of government
should be permanent. but it is proposed
10 tide over such time as shall be re-
quired for the American population to
increase and the native inhabitants
become familiar with our institutions
and laws.
In case the anneXers in the senate fail
10 count up a two-thirds majority for
the annexation treaty preparations are
being made in the house committee on
foreign affairs to report a bill or con-
current resolution of annexation. The
committee at its meeting appointed q
subcommittee, one of whose duties II
will be to prepare such bill or resolu-
ton. and be ready to introudceit. should
the treaty fail in the senate. This sub
committee consists of Chairman Hit.
Smith of Michigan and Dinsmore of
Arkansas, all annexationists. Speaker
Reed is coldly Indifferent to annexation.
In private conversation he sneeringly
says: Looks to me as though some one
Is leading US into deep water among the
sharks"

washington, Dec. misrepresentation
Adams. Of Pennsylvania, who was yes
terday named as chairman of the SUBJ
committee on foreign affairs to deal
with Cuban questions, when asked as
10 his Views on the Spanish Cuban
status. said: I'VE, in a friendly way.
through our minister at Madrid, Mr..
Woodford. suggested things which
Spain should do, such as the speedy
trial of American prisoners, a more
humane way of conducting the war,
and a better treatment of the concen-
trados. Those suggestions were made
Just before the fall Of the last Spanish
ministry. With the accession of the
Sagasta cabinet these propositions re-
ceived favorable recognition, and by
the recall of Weyler, the freeing of ev-
cry American citizen, the returning to
their homes and the feeding of the con-
centrados. Spain has carried out every
friendly proposition of our govern.
ment.
She now promises more liberal gov
ernment to the Cubans, autonomous in
character. and under such conditions
the administration feels called upon to
give the reforms on the part of Spain
a fair trial. In fact under diplomatic
usage our friendly offers having been
accepted we must at least give the
Spanish ministry a chance to carry out
the reforms and await the result.
Representative Berry, Of Kentucky,

tee. favors immediate recognition of the
belligerency of the Cubans Representa-
tive Heatwoie, the other member, would
not be interviewed, saying he will in

LIBRARIAN spOFFORD INDICATED,
That Which Everybody Believed Estab-
1ishcd by Proof.


Washington. Dec. 1O.-An investiga-
ton now being made between the Of
ficials of the congressional library and
the officials Of the postoffice department
promises to throw a great deal of light
on the recent widely discussed shortage
of former Librarian Ainsworth
i. Spofford. An investigation by
the treasury department about a
year ago showed Librarian Spot
ford TO be about $4,000 short in his
accounts. Few people who knew him
looked upon this at the time as any
thing more than an evidence of clerical
negligence in his department Now it
appears that large part. if not ALL of
this deficit-which Spofford promptly
made good out of his own pocket-will
be accounted for 10y great batch of
old money orders which the absent
minded librarian forget to cash.
A systematic search of the old library
records has unearthed hundreds Of old
orders which the former librarian had
put aside and apparently forgotten, and
more are coming to light every day.
Just what the total sum will amount to
has not yet been estimated, but it prob
ably viii come near wiping out the
discrepancies in Spoffords accounts.

As to That Haytiap Troublc.

Washington, Dec. 10-The moral sup
port alluded to by President Sam. Of the
Haytian republic. was that of the Unit
ed states. When asked why Sam was
not supported while Venezula was an
official reply from the state department
said: The two cases are in no way
similar. The Venezuelan case was a
dispute over n territorial boundary reg
ulated by treaty. The Haytian case
was a demand for damages for mis-
treatment Of German subject. No
support was promised and no promise
violated" Further than this the state
department declines to make any ex.
planation. Secretary Shermans opin-
ions are well known. He has declared
that the demands of Germany in the
Lueders case Were just and proper. He
says the case is strictly analogous to the
case of the British consular agent at
Corinto. Nicaragua, where England
seized the custom house and held il
until the damages We're Forthcoming.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS.
A Proposition to Change From
Saturday to Monday

A proposition is being advanced in
some sections to change the weekly
holiday in the public schools from
Saturday to Monday. A number of
reasons are advanced, foremost among
which stand these:
The pupil Is tired at the end of the
week and has no inclination to study
Friday night, for Monday is far away,
and if he does he forgets his lessons
by Monday, Saturday night the same
is true, and Sunday should be a day
of rest. Monday morning comes and
no lessons are prepared. ..-..-
':Let us suppose Monday is the
holiday. Saturday night the pupil is
tired and there is no use of studying;
Sunday he can rest; Monday he is
fresh for work or play, Monday night
he must get his lessons or fail the
next morning. He gets his lessons
the same as he would Tuesday night.
The first day of school week Gomez
and all is lovely.
"Thus much for the pupils welfare.
The teacher will also succeed in di.
rect proportion as she has had time
