the controversy over rights in the

a reciprocity arrangement between the
United States and Canada. 1t is even
suggested that Canada is ready to offer
the United States an equal footing
with England in tariff matters.
Later-Detinite arrangements have
been made for taking up the subject of
a reciprocity treaty between the United
States and Canada, and to this end
meetings have been fixed between Hon.
John w. Kasson, who is specially dele
gated by President Mckinley to con-

Wilfrid Laurier, and Sir Louis Davies.
This is the result of the long and
friendly conference held between Sec

not expected that the reciprocity treaty
itself can be matured during the pres

desire being to arrive at some common
understanding at this time, and then
perfect the details later.

the President assisted toward friendly

TROUBLE IN EUROPE.
Austria Hungary Being Estranged From
Germany.

Germany's position in Europe is be-
coming more perilous than before by
the attitude of Austria, which has eff
fected an agreement with Russia and
France regarding its policy in the east.
The recent visit of the Austro- Hun
garian minister of foreign affairs to
King Humbert of Italy is regarded in
Berlin political circles as being of the
highest Importance. The visit is in
terpreted as meaning "A closer under
standing between Austria Hungary
and Italy and as leaning of those two
powers toward Great Britain. The
Mediterranean interests of both Austria
and Italy are of vast and far-reaching
Importance, and they cannot be sub
served so long as there is latent an
tagonism against England as feature
of the dreibund policy.
From editorials in Berlin papers it
appears that while the dreibund is still
in force, Germany must trot along side
of the other powers or pursue her own
oriental and colonial policy unaided
and apart from the other nations. The
original reason of Austria's attitude is
said to be the uncalled for affront
given to England by Emperor Will
Jams letter to President Kruger. Fa-
mine is now said to threaten the faith
erland, and the Prussians are enraged
at the remarks of the kaiser, who Bit
terly attacked the Prussian kings
while speaking of the pope's action.

already arrived express the opinion
that this will be the shortest regular
long session of congress in years. Or
dinarily the long sessions last from six
TO 10 months. Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois,
one of the prominent Republican lead

Two Young Girls rarred and Feathered.

A most terrible outrage was perpe-
trated at the village of lakewood, Pauld-
ing county, o., by whitecaps upon two
girls, Edith and May Roberts, aged 10
and II years. The girls had retired to
their room early in the evening and
were awakened by a band of s or 10
men entering and dragging them from
their beds in their night robes. They
were taken to the nearby road. where
they were terribly whipped and the
whitecaps then gave them coat of tar
and feathers and took them back to
the house, where they were found UNI
conscious the next morning.
May, the youngest of the two girls,
is in critical condition, her flesh be-
ing cut TO the bone by the whips. a
card containing 10 names was found
tackled to the front door, but none of
the names are known about that place,
and there is no other clue.

nous murder of VIM. Guldensuppe and
implicated her lover, Martin Thorn, in
the horrible crime. On the day the
murder was committed she said, Gull

the house while she remained outside.
He went upstairs and shot was fired.
Martin Thorn then came running down
and said he had killed Guldensuppe.
He went back and cut the corpse in
pieces and tied the pieces up in parcels
and they were afterward taken on
board a ferryboat and cast into the

Some Ohio Republicans Oppose Hanna.


A Columbus dispatch says: Charles
L. Kurtz, former chairman of the Ohio
Republican state committee, has made
a statement in which he throws down
the gage of battle to Senator Hanna
and promises to defeat him for re-
election TO the senate. 1t is the first
authentic statement from the anti
Hanna forces.
Mr.. Kurtz is one of the best known
Republicans in Ohio, understanding
fully what is being done by both sides,
and is the chief manipulation of the
forces opposed TO the reelection of
Senator Hanna. Mr.. Kurtz says:
before the Ohio Legislature meets the
Republicans of this state will be asked
TO show their senatorial preferences,
and Mr. Hanna will have no following
that will make him considered even a
leading candidate for the senatorship.
The returns of the recent election
show that he is not wanted by the
party "
