case before the peace commission Ma

The movement was partly necessary
because Aguinaldo was fast losing his
influence in the province of Cavite,
where the insurgents evidently expect

HOME RULE ABANDONED.
Change In the Policy OF the Liberal
Party Coming.

LONDON, Aug. 2s.-The capture by
the Liberals of Tory seat in South
port is the first public manifestation
of a movement recorded nearly a year
ago. The Liberals, or a majority of
them. have already informally aban-
doned the cause of home rule for Ire
land, and formal reputation of it
will not be long delayed.
The movement started at the insti-
cation of Lord Rosebery and is still
being secretly promoted by him. He
believes that the rank and file of the
Liberal Unionists will rejoin the Lib
eral party as soon as they are per-
suaded that that party has actually
abandoned the idea of granting Ire
land a separate parliament.
He may consider 1t wise to try to
make a deal with Mr.. Chamberlain,
and give him the leadership Of the
party in the house Of commons.

TWAS MURDER, NOT SUICIDE.
JURY SAYS FRANK HUEBEN, SR., DID
NOT TAKE HIS OWN LIFE.
Verdict Holding His Life Insurance
Policy Valid and Must Be Paid
Case Supposed to Have Been
One of Suicide.

When the dead body of Frank Hueben, ST..
a pioneer butcher of Kansas City, was
found one night on the Central avenue
bridge of the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company, It was generally supposed that
Hueben had committed suicide, in view of
the fact that he had previously written a
letter practically announcing his intention
of taking his own life.
A jury in Judge Henry's court yesterday
declared that Hueben was murdered and
gave a verdict declaring that the Missouri
National bank WAS entitled TO the 5000 in
surance left by the deceased.
This is one of the most interesting IN
surance cases tried in the local courts.
The Missouri National bank was the cred
itor of the deceased to the extent OF a sZ,oD
held as security. The bank brought SUIT
against the company which wrote the pol
icy. The company resisted paymen on the
ground thatthe deceased had committed SUI
eide and had therefore voided his policy.
The testimony in the case yesterday snow
ed that no revolver was found in the Vlcin-
ity of the body when found. In the fesh
of his right hand were found powder burns
and grains of powder which could not nave
been produced by the deceased. 1t was
shown that Mr. Huebcn had $3.50 when he
left the house. but only 20 cents was found
on his person.
If the case had been one OF suicide the
policy would have been void under its
terms. but under the verdict of murder,
the policy will have to be paid.
on the night of December IL. 1896, and a
letter purporting to have been written by
the deceased and sometime before his
death was printed in the Kansas City
Presse. This letter was in the nature of a
farewell to his family and referred to finan-
cial troubles. He had been remarked only
a few months before his death. Hueben
was one of the pioneer butchers of Kansas
City and had built up a large business at
1903 West Ninth street. but had suffered
business reverses shortly before his death.
The evidence of murder was purely circum-
stantial. and the case was a close one. 1t
will be appealed

MONEY PAID FOR THE SITE.
Deeds for the Convention Hall Prop
erty Turned Over to the
Committee.

Checks for 5000 were drawn y~ester-
day In favor of the property owners in
payment for the convention hall site. and
the deeds were turned over to the conven-
ton hall committee. The total amount of
cash subscriptions to the hall fund is about
$l35, 900. Subscriptions by the owners of the
property bought for the hall site amount
ed to 500 900 and the architect whose plans
for the building are accepted will subscribe
1900. making the total stock in the hall
subscribed for s147. 600. OF the s135 900 in
cash subscribed. %one-half, or SCI, 800, has
been called. for and ST., 600 paid in. A call
for the remaining one-half of the subScrip-
tons will probably be made this month.
The committee desires to increase the fund
$4,000 more. or to. approximately. $500, 600.
but action in this matter will likely be
delayed until the plans for the building
are submitted by the architects on March
/. The committee will then be able to
decide just the additional amount it will
be necessary to secure. When all the cash
subscriptions to date have been paid there
will be $50, 1000 available for the building.
Its cost is estimated at 100000. exclusive
of furnishings, which may cost $3.50 and
the architects fee, with incidental ex-
penses.. will probably make the total cost
approximately $3.50. 600. or $50, 900 more than
the fund now subscribed.

From San Francisco comes the latest

Resented Arrest for Carrying Con

Hmm m Ereemausa Riuhts.

James Hall and Thomas Crosley, two
cattle herders from Colorado, were arraign-
ed in police court yesterday on a charge
of carrying concealed weapons. They ar
rived Thursday from Colorado, accom-
panied by a brace of formidable looking
six-shooters, which are, according to pop
ular belief. a necessary adjunct to every
mans makeup in the part of Colorado
ished when an officer objected to them ap-
pearing on the street as walking arsenal
and resented what they termed an intru-
sion upon a mans rights. In police court
yesterday the cattle herders said they were
innocent of any intention to break the
law. The court thought a term in the
workhouse would save them from forget
ting the law again. and fined them $50 each.
They went to the w~orkhouse.
