A Foul Murder at Lansing.

In room over Oviatt's feed store, on
Washtenaw street, Lansing, the dead
body of Roderique c. Lauzun, aged 25,
was found in a large pool of blood with
his head crushed almost to pulp APP
parently he had been murdered with a
Ratchet or hammer. There were
fractures of the skull both front and
rear. One blow struck the right eye.
both ears were split, and the occipital
bone was badly broken. The walls
and floor of the room were covered
with blood. The motive for the crime
was evidently robbery, as Lauzun's
pocl1etbook, open, bloodstained and
empty was found. 1t is known that
the murdered man had exhibited n
large roll of bills on several occasions,
and nothing was found in his pockets
Lauzun had been leading a dissolute
life, associating with gamblers and fast
women. About year ago Lauzun
married Miss Mcdonald, of Laings-
burg, who commenced suit for di-
vorce in Shiawassee county couple of
weeks ago.

In the British house of lords and in
response to speech by the earl of

England had waived the demand that
Ta-Lien-Wan be made an open treaty
port as condition of the proposed
loan, because China objected, until the

should be opened. The loan negotia-

added: II have received spontaneous
assurances from the Russian govern
ment that any port they open in China
will be open TO free commerce, and that
similar assurances have been made us
by the German government respecting
the territory they recently occupied"
Baron Won Buelow, the German pre-
mier, in addressing the reichstag said:
''Our relations with the powers were
in no way disturbed by the occupation
of Kiao-Chau. We are in harmony
with Russia, whose interests do not
conflict with ours anywhere in Europe,
and are parallel with ours in Asia. As

ain. (Renewed cheers). Our modest
demands have neither menaced the in
tegrity of China nor called for justifi-
able objections on her part
Baron Won Buelow then proceeded to
justify the acquisition of point of sup
port in eastern Asia as an absolute ne
cessity, looking to Germany's rapidly
growing interests in one Of the richest
markets of the world for imports if she
did not desire to become a second or
third rate power in Asia, for every other
power, even Portugal and the Neither
lands, had territorial possessions there.
