MYSTERIES of Waterloo.

The historical student is considerably
bothered by the details OF the battle of
Waterloo Starting with the one thing
certain, that Napoleon was defeated, it
is not yet satisfactorily determined
whether it was the English or the Prus-
slams that won the fight. 1t is also not
known with certainty whether Yelling
ton surprised his enemy or overcame
him by superior strategy; whether ne
and Butcher met at La Belle Alliance
or some miles away; whether Grouchy
disobeyed orders, or carried them out
too literally. 1t is even not settled that
Wellington said, Cup, guards, and at
them,' or that Cambronne cried The
old guard dies. but never surrenders."

secured, almost beyond the possibility of
disaster, position from which she can
rule her troublesome subjects without
fear of revolt. She would be more than
willing that Russia should assume such a
sort of protectorate over her empire.
To this agreement, Austria, France and
Germany will, it is understood, give their
consent. England alone has not made
known her views on this question.
Emperor's Williams share in the pro-
posed arrangement has been consider
able. When at Vienna he acted as an in
termediary between Russia and Austria.

peror Francis Joseph of Austria to st.

BOYS AS ACCOMPLICES.
Took Part in the AtrociOus
Murder of the SpiCer Family
in North Dakota.

Bismarck, n. D., April 26.-Two In
dian boys, Paul Holy Track and Philip
ireland, have confessed to the authori-
ties that they were at the Spicer place Oh
the day of the murder and found the
members of the family murdered and two
Indians, Black Hawk and Coddotts
there. This confession, experimenting
one made by Coddotte a few days age
goes far to solving the mystery Of ihs
murder.
Reports received from Fort Yates to-
day are that the boys have now fully
confessed, duplicating themselves as well
as the halfbreeds in the tragedy. The
boys state that the murder was planned
some weeks before it was committed and
that Black Hawk was the leader. The
four went to the Spicer home on the day
of the murder, Black Hawk and Cad
dotte going to the barn and the two boys
to the house. At the barn the two men
found Spicer, and Black Hawk shot him
and then split his head open with an ak.
Caddotte then ran to the house and told
the woman that her husband was sick at
the barn. AS soon as Mrs. Spicer APP
peared at the barn door, Caddotte
stabbed her through the heart with a
pitchfork. Caddotte then went to the
house and found Holy Track engaged in
a terrific struggle with Mrs. Rouse. He
said to Holy Track: ''Why don't you
brain her with the ax?" Holy Track re-
piled: Il cannot for the children are
bothering me-"
Caddotte then picked up the ak and
dealt each of the twin babies a death
blow. The two fends then had no trou-
BILE in killing Mrs. Rouse. After she was
killed she was outraged by Holy Track.
While this was going on at the house
Black Hawk had outraged Mrs. Spicer at
the barn. About $62 in money was
found and divided by the four wretches
after the completion of their bloody work.
Public sentiment in Emmons county is
at fever heat and it is more than prob
able that all four implicated will be

KILLED BY AN OFFICER.
A Finn StirS Up Trouble in Min.

SEQUENCES.

1ronwood, Mich, April 26.-[Special.]
Gust Rom, Finlander, was shot and
instantly killed by Gust Miller the vii
lage marshal at Wakefield, a small
town near here, last Saturday evening
The population of Wakefield is largely
composed of Firms, and last Saturday
evening a lot of them congregated in a
saloon and were making a night of it..
A quarrel occurred and Gust Rom drew
a knife and stabbed one Of his cOmpan-
ions seriously. Not satisfied with this.
however, he went to his home procured
a repeating rife and returned to murder
the whole party.
In the meantime Marshal Miller had
learned of the trouble and appeared on
the scene and attempted to arrest Rom,
'Tho turned the rifle on the officer and
shot, the bullet passing between the
marShaPs right arm and body, inflicting
slight flesh wound. Rom made an
other attempt to shoot, but the gun
failed to work, and the marshal drew
his revolver and shot Rom. the bullet
entering his abdomen, killing him in
stantly.
Then the Finlanders attempted to
avenge the death of their comrade.
Sheriff Kallander was notified and a
large number of deputies were sworn in,
but it was with great difficulty that
Miller was kept out of the clutches of
the angry mob and it was finally found
necessary to remove him to Bessemer
and lodge him in the county jail for
safe keeping. Intense excitement pre-
walls at Wakefield and it is feared that
the Firms will cause trouble. though it
is generally conceded that the marshal
was perfectly justified in the killing OF

THOUSANDS OF TEACHERS.
The National Educational Association
Convention at Milwaukee in July.

The National Educational Association
Convention at Milwaukee in July.
Eleven thousand two hundred and
ninety-seven life members, active mem
bers and associate members partlcl-
pated in the proceedings Of the annual
meeting of the National Educational as
ISOLATION which was held at Denver in
1895. Last year, when the convention
was held at Buffalo, the number taking
part was 9073 1t is with these statis
tics in view that Milwaukee is making
preparations to entertain large influx
of visitors from all parts of the United
States on the occasion of the thirty
sixth annual meeting of the association,
which is to be held in that city next
July.
Upon the educational and professional
side, the conventions of the association
appeal strongly to the interests of
teachers and of all intelligent people,
Each of these great gatherings may be
regarded as a national clearing house
for the interchange of ideas on leading
topics of the time. There are other as
poets in which they are attractive-the
social aspect and the recreational aspect.
It has become the custom for all Amer
leans who can afford it to indulge in
summer outing. The fact that the rail
roads will make a half-fare excursion
rate to Milwaukee for persons coming

the National Educational associations
convention will lead thousands of peo-
pie to select Milwaukee as the headquar-
tiers of their approaching vacation. The
half-fare rate can be secured by anyone
purchasing transportation ticket with
the associate membership coupon, and
the cost of the latter is only $3.50, which
is a bagatelle in comparison with the
fare to Milwaukee from distant points.
Milwaukee possesses numerous and
strong attractions as a summer gather
ing place for the educators and their
friends. Its central location, it's delight
full summer climate, its numerous and
excellent hotels, its free art gallery and
free library and free museum, it's natu-
raj beauty, its famous recreational re-
sorts, and the quaint characteristics of
it's population and many of it's institu-
tons, which make it unique among the
large cities of America, will enlist es-
pecial interest in this years convention
of the association, and may swell the at
tendance even beyond the mark which
it reached at Denver. Numerous side
excursion trips to different parts of the
state have been arranged in connection
with the convention, and the proba bility
is that many of the visitors will spend a
month or more in Wisconsin before re-
turning to their homes. The railroads
will extend the time of the convention

DEFENSE OF PHARSALIA.
Greek Premier Outlines Some OF the
Governments Plans.

Governments Plans.
London. April 26-The Times today
publishes a dispatch from Athens, dated
Saturday night, giving an account of an
interview of the Times correspondent
there with the Greek premier, NJ. DEFY
annis. The latter is quoted as saying
that neither the King nor the govern
ment had received any information the t
day from the Greek army in Thessaly
beyond the announcements that the
Greek forces had been successfully con-
centrated at Pharsalia to which place
they had retreated in good order, saving
all their artillery except the siege guns,
which they had been forced to abandon.
Gen. SmOlentZ's column, concerning
which the greatest anxiety was felt, has
reached Pharsalia safely, and the pre-
mier added 10000 Greek troops are now
concentrated at Pharsalia, which is a
place Of considerable strength, the adj
visa bllity of occupying it in case of re-
treat having long been under considera-
ton by the government
NJ. Delyannis said there was much
needless alarm regarding the safety of
Volo, adding there was no reason to fear
that the Turks would attempt to occu-
Ply it.
The success of the Greek troops in Epi-
rus. he pointed out, were a counterpoise
10 .he reverses in Thessaly, and. accord
;ng to unofficial informa ton, the Greeks
expected TO arrive at Janlna on Saturday
light.
The premier was convinced Athens
.oUld remain quiet; that the people had
complete confidence in the King, and the
government assured the Times CORE
spondent there was no reason to fear any
d::~turbG1ces.
NJ. Delyannis, the Times correspond
ent adds, in spite of his age and severe
anxieties, appeared to be in the best of
health and spirits.
Interviews with the minister of ma
rine and war We're also obtained by the
Times correspondent The former
stated that he had not received con-
frmation of the rumor that Dedeagaoch
had been bombarded by the Greek fleet.
After the destruction Of PIatamona and
Katrina, the minister Of marine added,
the Eastern squadron had been ordered
to find and engage the Turkish fleet, and
the present location of the squadron was
not known.
The minister, the Times correspon-
dent reports said on Saturday that
there were 10000 Greek troops gath
cred at Pharsalia and that every effort
was being made to reinforce them Two
thousand five hundred gendarmes and
engineers were then leaving Athens fer

Land Worth $15, 900, 900.

Washington, D. c., April 26.-The
Chicago Lake Front case, on which
hinges the possession of lands in the Chi

100000, was given a hearing at the
general land office today. The case is

The hearing, which will occupy three
