CH1LDREN's THRoArs CUT.
Their Fathers Also Gashed and He
Tells Strange story.

Oconomowoc, Wis, Nov. "a mysteri-
Gus tragedy was committed at this place
some time last night at the residence of
Ernst Cornell
Two little children, Willie Cornell, aged
6, and Lille, aged L. were found dead, ly-
ing on their bed, with their throats cut.
Ernst Cornell, their father, was lying
on the floor with a cash across his throat.
which extended from ear to ear Cornell
was able to make a statement after his
throat was sewed up. He said that a
man named Lewis, who had boarded with
the family for some weeks, last night in
duced him to drink a lot of whisky, and
that after drinking the liquor he soon lost
consciousness and knew nothing more un-
til he was awakened by the clock striking
a $50 this morning. According to Cornell,
his (CornelPs) wife and Lewis were to-
gether much of the time.
The coroners jury started an investi-
cation, but adjourned until Monday, when
the inquest will be resumed.
The general opinion Is that Cornell killed
the children and afterward attempted to
commit suicide because of his domestic
troubles. Cornelrs razor, with which the
deed had evidently been done, was lying
on the floor.
Mrs. Cornell and Lewis will be held.

"Despairing Democracy is the sensation
al title of sensational book dealing with
Greater New York, which w. T. Stead, the
editor of the Review of Reviews, will give
to the public of England and America next
month as the fruits of his recent trip
across the water. This book is to be a
companion piece to "If Christ Came to Chi
cago," the unique dissection of the darker
life in the western metropolis, which in
troduced the versatile and indefatigable
English editor to the United States in the
capacity of an author. "Satan's Invisible
World" was, according to Mr.. Stead, re-
vealed by the Lexow committee, and ''Des-
pairing Democracy" is the moral which he
draws from the charter of Greater New
York, which he holds to be a legislative
declaration by the citizens of their aban-
donment of faith in the possibility of gov
erning great city by popular suffrage.

A SNUB FOR THE AGRARIANS.
OTHER INTERESTS To BE ON TOP
FOR A TINE IN GERMANY.

The Canal Project to Join the Prin-
cipaI Rivers of the Empire Looked
Upon With Great Favor by the
EmperOr-FaiIure on the Part of
Reichstag to Pass Measures for
strengthening the Navy Likely to
BE Soon Followed by Dissolution.
Copyright, 1897, by the Associated Press.
Berlin, Nov 20-The economic council,
which began it's sessions this week, and
whose important meetings will be attend
ed by the emperor is a body specially
called together by the government to de-
wise the best measures needed in regard
to international traffic relations, with
special reference to the United States and
Great Britain and her colonies. The coun-
Gil is composed of a score Of technical and
practical experts in manufacture. agricul-
ture, trade and banking, as well as a num-
ber of the higher government officials.
On Monday evening, when Count Won
Posadowsky entertained the council at
dinner, the emperor snubbed Count Won
Kanitz numerically This fact is inter
preted as meaning that the agrarian in
terests will not be paramount in the delib-
erations of the council.
Another fact pointing the same way Is
that his majesty, In conversation that
evening, enthusiastically praised the in
ter-central canal project, intending the
joining of all the principal German rivers,
the Elbe, the Rhine the Weser and the
Oder. The project is not new one.
The agrarian party, however, is violent
ly opposed to canal systems, because it's
members fear further cheapening of ce-
reals by reason of their easier transpor-
tation.
The emperor spoke in such glowing
terms of the canal project that it is ex-
pected bill embodying his ideas will be
presented to the Reichstag, or else be
made an issue of the coming election.
Emperor William intends to open the
Reichstag in person, which he has not
done since 1894. 1t is supposed his naval
projects are so near and dear to his heart
that he will on that account overcome the
repugnance he feels for the present Reich
stag, in an effort to bring about the pas
sage of the measures providing for in
creaSlnS tne BJIeuSln OF Lne 6eIiIdH navy
The correspondent of the Associated
Press hears on good authority that If
the temper of the Reichstag, early during
the coming session, becomes clear as be-
ing adverse to the naval projects, the en-
peror will dissolve that body forthwith
The new elections could then be held early
in the spring.
Four of the socialist Reichstag dele

ROBERT E. LEES HOME.
The Government Asked to Utilize the
Unused Part.

Washington, Ncv. 9O.-Representative
Rixey of Virginia and James f. Glenn
ents, an attorney of Ballston, Va, had
an interview with Secretary of War AL
ger to-day. with a view to cooperation
in proposed legislation for division of
the Arlington estate, the former home of
Robert Il. Lee. 1t was represented that
only small portion OF the estate was
used for a national cemetery. and that
the remainder is slowly passing into a
veritable waste. 1t was urged that the
government use the unused tract, about
800 acres, for a central experimental sta
ton of the agricultural department, to
which all the existing stations in various
parts of the country should contribute.
1t is contended with the erection of the
much-agitated memorial bridge across the
Potomac at this point the tract would
prove valuable addition to the govern
ment parking system of this city. Sec
retary Alger gave his consent to the plan
and Secretary Wilson is amuch pleased
with the prospect. Representative Rixey
will introduce a bill for this purpose at
the next session, and anticipates no mate
rial opposition.

have partly fallen, the whole covering an
area of 200 to 250 yards, bounded by Mich

The insurance agents take an optimistic
view of the losses, their estimates rang
ing from S15OO,000 to $4,0OO,000 1t is fact
that dozens of the burned out firms were
not insured, in some cases because they
were considered to be undesirable Gus

that the sensational rumors regarding the
losses have been promoted on the stock
