Judge Somervine Of the board Of GUS

went into effect, and as result he decid-
81, as he was bound to do, that it be-
came effective the moment it had been
signed by the President, and not mo-
nlent before II a tariff bill could be made
retroactive to even the extent of a few

the Recent Death Of His Wife i
Turned His Brain

Baltimore, Md, June 3.-Edgar Har-
'ris, letter carrier 80 years Of age, liv-
ing at 1924 Ashland avenue, shot and
killed his son George, 10 years old, and
his young daughter Ada, wounded his
daughter Ella, aged IA, and then turned
the pistol on himself. He is now lying
at the point of death in the Johns Hop
.kins hospital.
Little Edgar Harris, aged nine, was
the only member of the family who es-
capped uninjurcd. He was lying in bed
beside his brother George in the front
second story room. His father fired
at him, but the bullet missed his head
by half an inch, and buried itself in
the pillow. The insane father then
rushed into the back room to kill the
girls and the little fellow fed down
the stairs and escaped. Harris il
thought to have been mentally unbal-
:anced by the recent death of his wife,
to whom he was deeply devoted. He
had always been devoted husband and
father.
A letter was found among Harris
effects in which he clearly indicates his
:intention to kill himself and his four
children. In it he gives a list of all
his property, makes provisions for it's
distribution, and, in rambling, inco-
'herent manner, asks that all five be
buried in one grave.

Important Business TRANSACTED By
the Head Camp.
Dubuque, Ia, June 3.-Wednesday's
session of the head camp, Modern Wood
men, was most important. The election
of officers was an emphatic indorse-
mcnt Of the administration, nearly
everyone being reelected. Headquar-
tiers were ordered removed to Rock
Island, and the next head camp was
voted to Kansas City, Mo. Charges Of
misappropriation of funds, mismanage-
ment, etc., against the head officers fell
fat, not so much as being considered by
the convention. Many changes were
made in the laws of the order of impor-
tance to members. Resolutions were
read and referred to establish print
ing office for the order; requiring off,
GERS to have the union label on printed
matter; protesting against annulling
the certificates of persons in the en-
ploy of liquor establishments receiv-
ing a weekly stipend. The law pro-
hibiting membership to liquor dealers
was so amended as not to affect those
in the order before such legislation was
enacted. Officers elected are: Head

FARLEY FOR PEACE.
Negotiations to Be Commenced at
Constantinople.
GREECE YIELDS SEVERAL POINTS.
An lmpression Prevails i'm the Turk.
1sh Capital, However, That the
Negotiations Will Fail, and the
War VIII he Renewed.

London June 3.-The Turks have
promised to sign the extension of the
armistice to-day and it is expected that
peace negotiations will begin promptly
at Constantinople. King George, 1t is
understood, has yielded several points,
with a view of Fastening the negotiations
and Of bringing about the Turkish
evacuation of Thessaly. In this mat
ter, it is said, the Russian government
has promised to support Greece. Both
King George and the crown prince have
offered to forego portion of the civil
list, in view of the straitened finances
of the country.
The Turkish military court contin-
ues to hold sittings at the Yildiz kiosk,
and it is very evident that the general
impression in Constantinople is that
the peace negotiations will collapse and
that the war will be renewed. The plan
of sending Crown Prince Constantine
TO London has been abandoned, as the
trip might be interpreted either as a
desertion from his post in time of dam
ger or as removal from the chief COM
mand, and, consequently, a disgrace.
The likelihood is that Prince Nicholas
will go in his stead.

Canovas Announces the Resignation
of the Cabinet.

CanOvas Announces the Resignation
Of the Cabinet.
Madrid, June 3.-Premier Senior Cam
ovas del Castillo has rendered to the
queen regent the resignation of the cab
met, owing to the difficulty the min
listers experienced in carrying on the
government in view of the parliament
tary situation caused by the refusal of
the liberals to take part in the delibera-
tons of the cortes. This attitude of the
liberals is due to the personal encounter
between the duke of Tetuan, the min
lister of foreign affairs, and Prof. Comas,
liberal senator, on May 21, when the
duke slapped the face of the senator
after heated debate on the Morgan
belligerency resolution adopted by the
United States senate. The queen re-
gent will hold cabinet council to-day
in order to discuss the situation.
London, June 9.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says the queen
regent has accepted the resignation of
the cabinet of Senior Canovas del Cas-
tillo. It has caused a profound sensa-.
ton. Before finally taking this step
her majesty begged Senior Canovas to
remain in Office until Friday in order
that she may have another opportunity
to consider the matter in council, but
this only meant that the resignation
would be accepted. Senior Canovas ten
dered his resignation because he could
not again undertake to reestablish re-
lations with the liberals. He preferred
to leave the crown full liberty to de-
eide as to the best solution. Both
houses of the cortes voted without de-
bate the financial supplies necessary to
enable the cortes to adjourn sine die,
and granted authority for the issue OF
treasury bonds and the contraction of
loans guaranteed by the Spanish treas
ury to cover the expenses of the wars in
Cuba and the Philippine islands, with
special lien on the revenues of Spain
for the Cuban war. The queen regent
then signed the decree suspending the
sittings, whercupon Senior Canovas inn
mediately rendered his resignation.
