freeze the Flames OF Candles and
'"ScH Them for Strawberries.
=, According to the Alaska Miner, a
gentleman who has just escaped from
the Klondike region gives the following
account Of some things that happened
there: "a man told me who had win
tered UP there seven years that it was SO
cold in January that they fttoze the
flames of their candles and sold them
for strawberries. He. said they kept
their fires over night by putting them
out in the air and letting them freeze,
and then thawed them out in the morn
ing. lie said he had seen four men die
of collie from eating whisky that was
frozen so hard it wouldn't thaw inside
of them. He said the cows all gave ice
cream till they froze to death. lie said
he knew clerk in hotel on the Yukon
that got rich selling the diamonds he
wore, said diamonds being nothing on
earth but ice crystals that didn't thaw
till after the clerk had got out of the
country. lie said he had seen man
fall off the roof of barn and freeze so
stiff before he lit that he broke in two
when he hit the ground. lie said he had
seen smoke freeze in chimney till the
fire wouldn't draw, and he knew of one
case where the smoke froze after it
got a hundred feet up and fell back on
the house, knocking a hole in the roof
big enough to drive yoke OF steers
through. lie said the reason that
nights were so long in that country
was that the dark got frozen so hard
the daylight. couldn't thaw its way
through in less than six months"

INTENSE COLD.
New England and New York Experiencing
a Touch of Winter

New England and New York Experiencing
a Touch of winter
New York, January 30.-At eight
O'Clock this morning the temperature
in New York was five degrees above
zero, and again at midnight it was al
most as low. The average tempeTa-
ture for the day was twelve degrees,
and the highest point was seventeen.
Ice was plentiful in the East and
North rivers for the first time this
winter, and caused much trouble to
ferrybOats and small craft.
Throughout the State the cold was
severe, reaching as low as twenty be-
low zero in some parts.
Boston, January 30-1ne cold wave
which has prevailed throughout New
England for the past four days seems
to show no signs Of breaking and has
indeed intensified to-day. In few 10
calities for the past twenty-our hours
has the temperature been higher than
ten degrees above zero, While it his
been below that mark since Friday
night in the northern part Of New
England. The lowest temperature re
ported has been from Maine and
Northern New Hampshire, and thirty
nine degrees below at Bangor is the
lowest temperature yet recorded.
The absence Of heavy wind has
made the cold endurable, and in this
State and farther south the sharp
weather has made sure the ice crops,
which a week ago looked precarious.

MUCH MIXED.
The Powers Doing Some Lively
Sparring in the Chinese Matter,
With Russia Apparently in The
Lead.

London, January 31.-A dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Shanghai says a
secret decree has been issued by the
Isun3 Lii Yamen to certain high OH
Gals informing them that Russia
warned China that If kiao Chou were
granted to Germany, Russia would de-
mand either Ia Lien Wan or Port
Arthur
According to the same dispatch 1t
is asserted at Shanghai on good au-
thority that China consents to have
Russians at the head Of her customs
and railways.
At the present moment, says the
Daily Mails correspondent, there are
ten thousand Russian troops in Ia
Lien Wan and Port Arthur. Russian
agents have been sent to Tien Tsin
(the port Of Pekin) and to Japan TO
purchase coal and food, and sixty
thousand bags of wheat have been
bought at Tien Tsin.
The Daily Mail this morning says
it learns from source hitherto ac
curate,' that China is inclined to make
the best possible bargain with Russia,
whose diplomacy appears to have tri-
umphed at Pekin, England having re-
solved not to force a conflict by fur
ther opposing Russia's claims at Port
Arthur and in the Liao-Tung PENN
sula. Japan, says the Daily Mails au-
thority, has been thorwn into state
of CONSERVATION by the British back
down, and has adopted a more friend
ly attitude toward Russia"
This statement, however, the Daily
Mail admits, is incredible, and prob
ably a bluff with a view Of forcing
England to take decided steps"
The Daily Mail counsels It's readers
not to be alarmed.

MADE 4 CONFESSION.
Charles @. Kaiser Tells How His Wife
Was Killed.
The Crime Was Arranged With
James A. Clemmer, and the Pur-
pose Was to Obtain $4,000 of
Insurance on Mrs. Kaiser's Life.
The Confession Tallies With
Known Facts.

Philadelphia, Pa, January Ca
special to the Inquirer tonight from
Norristown, Pa, says that Charles o.
Kaiser, convicted of the murder of his
wife, Emma Kaiser, has made a con-
fesslon in which he admits having
conspired with James A. Clemmer to
commit the crime, but places the
blame for having fired the fatal shot
on Clemmer, who is now in the county
jail awaiting trial for his alleged share
In the crime. Lizzie De .Kalb, who is
also under arrest charged with being
implicated in the murder, is, according
to Kaiser's confession, innocent of any
knowledge OF their purpose to kill Mrs
Kaiser.
Kaiser, in his confession, says that
ne never had any intention of doing
away with his wife until after he had
heard she was untrue to him. Previ-
Gus to that time he had
ALWAYS LOVED HER.
AS soon as he was told she was I'M
true he lost ali love for her and when
afterward he met Clemmer in Phila-
delphia he it was who tempted him to
enter into a scheme to get rid of Mrs.
Kaiser.
Clemmer, the convicted man says,
told him that as they were both in
need of money, and inasmuch as his
wife was untrue to him. he should
have no computations about ending
her life. The confession then states
that Clemmer told him he was an
agent for the Covenant Life Insurance
Company, of Galesburg, H., and in
duced him to take out an insurance
policy of $4,000. This was in the sum-
mer of 1896. Clemmer then told him
how easy it was to dispose of Mrs.
Kaiser and persuaded him to induce
his wife to make a will in his (Kais-
er's) favor.
Kaiser says that Clemmer and him
arranged to kill Mrs. Kaiser
BY MEANS OF POISON,
but that this plan fell through, and it
was afterward decided to make it APP
pear that the crime was committed by
highwayman.
Plans to this end were arranged
and on three separate occasions Mrs
Kaiser went driving, accompanied by
Lizzie DeKalb, but the plans Of the
conspirators failed of accomplishment
until October, 1896 O.. tie 29ta e
that month the plan finally succeeded.
Kaiser had met Clemmer and all the
details were arranged. Clemmer was
to meet him and Mrs. Kaiser at
given point near the Trenton cutoff
in the guise of q highwayman.
Kaiser then goes on to say that
when he reached the given point Glenn
mer made his appearance and
STOPPED THE CARRIAGE
containing Kaiser and his wife, at the
same time demanding money and va
uables. These were handed out and
the pistol was placed against Mrs
Kaisers head by Clemmer and fired.
The second shot was put through
Kaisers arm. The remainder of
Kaisers confession differs in no par
ticular from the facts brought out at
the trial as to his subsequent move
ments. He insists that the DeI<alb
woman knew nothing of the murder
until after it had been accomplished.
This latter feature of the confession
corroborates the statement made by
Lizzie DeKalb just after her arrest.
