Brother and Sister.

Sulsun, Cal. Feb. Frank Belew has
repeated to thte district attorney his
confession of murder of his brother and
sister.
He said that before he left the ranch
on the afternoon OF the day he put the
poison In the kettle he emptied the
powder out of It's original package and
folded 1t in newspaper throwing the
box away in front of the ranch house.
He thinks he burned this paper. He
also said:
when held Susie's hand while she
was dying / did not give her water or
broth to drink or anything else. All
that gave her was some ice. II is not
true that my brother Tom knew any
thing OF the poisoning either before or
after II happened. He is entirely limo
cent. am sorry for Tom and Arthur,
but I don't see why they want to
worry"
met his brother in his cell but the pris-
oner seemed stolid.
"Tell me with your own lips. Frank"
said Arthur that you have made this
confession. can hardly believe it."
That's what / did" was the answer.
ut is true. l killed Susie and Louis,
but | don't really know why | did It,"
The murderer has expressed n desire
to plead guilty, but rather hesitated
about this after n visit from his at
torney, Reese Clark. The attorney
asked permission of Sheriff Rush to
bring a physician to the Jail with him
and there is little doubt that this re-
quest means that insanity has been
chosen ms the line of defense that win
be adopted The case will be brought
before the grand jury on Tuesday.
Under Sheriff Robinson says Watch
man Wells thought Frank Below tried
to commit suicide last night by put
ting handkerchief down his throat.

ment prevails over the appearance in

ADOLrH sUTRo Is INSANE. 2
Builder of sutro Tunnel, and Ex-Mayor of
San Francisco, Adjudged Mentally In
competent,

competent.
San Francisco, Feb. 7.-Adolph Sutro.
ex-mayor of San Francisco and build,,r
of the famous Sutro Tunnel, has been
adjudged mentally incompetent by Su-
perior Judge Belcher His daughter,
DIR. Emma Sutro Merritt, who has been
in constant professional attendance on
her father for months past, has been
appointed guardian of his estate and
his person. her bonds being fixed at
100000. Her two brothers and her
sister who reside in this city, became
suretles on the bond
Mr.. Sutro is over so years old and
the loss of his mental faculties is at
tributed to the weight of years, COM
bined with the effects of two strokes of
apoplexy which he has suffered within
the past few months.
The petition to have his daughter ap-
pointed his guardian was made by Col
Little, manager of the Sutro property
after the members of the family and
their attorneys had decided that such
a step was necessary.
The effect the withdrawal of Mr..
Sutro from business may have on the
many enterprises with which he was
connected IL a matter to be determined
by the family council and the LAWYERS.
His interests are so vast and diversified
that the manner OF their disposition Is
n matter Of great moment. The great
err part of his fortune is in real estate.
In San Francisco alone he owns over
500 acres Of land-about one eighth Of
the taxable area of the entire county,
Among other valuable holdings are the
Sutro Electric Railroad. the Sutro Ii
brary and various stacks of gilt-edged
bonds. In the present condition OF the
real estate market It is rather difficult
to appraise the value OF his local realty,

SCHEMES FOR THE EAST.
Russia Would Like Array the United
States Against England.

New York. Feb. THE United States
is more OF factor in a game of inter-
national politics which is now in pro-
sfess over the affairs in the East than
Is generally understood.
IAN the great European powers are
seeking to ascertain the attitude of
TINS country on the great eastern prob
lem, and until that is known there will
be no move on the international chess
board.
Your country thus has a command
ing position in the big fight that is
going on and by a shrewd diplomacy
ought to be able to obtain almost any
concessions in the East that are de-
sired"
These declarations were made to the
washington correspondent OF the Her.
ala last night by one of the Oldest
members Of the diplomatic corps in
washington. man whose country oc-
cupies neutral position in regard to
Inc eastern question during the course
or an interview on the general situa-
ton as he views 1t through unbiased
spectacles.
There can be no doubt" this diplo-
mat continued, that the great Eu-
ropean powers are planning for further
acquisitions of territory in the East.
How much further they will go de-
Ponds. in large measure, upon the
position of this country. II is a con-
many and France to secure n distinct
relation that the United States will
not concern itself about the opening
up of any more new ports by foreign
countries, and England and Japan on
the other hand to protest against a
policy which will give any nation or
group of nations superior rights in
any Chinese ports.
THE head and center OF the fight Is
Just at present right here in Washing
ton. and 1t will become even more ex-
citing upon the arrival of the new Rus
sian ambassador. Until his arrival
you need not look for any new move
by Russia In the East. The action OF
Russia in raising the legation in this
city to an embassy and transferring to
this post Count Cassini direct from
China. is, to my mind. very significant.
He will come here prepared to explain
IN detail the exact state of affairs in
China and with instructions to not on
ly sound the United States on Its po-
sition In the matter, but to make ad-
vances looking to an understanding
which will give this country almost
anything that may be desired in
commercial way in return for its moral
support in favor OF the schemes of
these countries which have arrayed
themselves against England and Japan
in the orient"

providing that she shall lose all her

marry her, but the will Of the selfish
dead man stood between. So after u
time he married somebody else. The
widow was broken hearted. She recalled
the suit with the brass buttons. She
recalled hundred kindnesses shown
the old soldier. She bewailed his peril
dy to her friends.
"Why," said one of them, "what did
you expect? He wanted wife to make
a home for him. You couldn't marry
him. So why do you complaint
The widow wiped her eyes.
