War Talk In Scandinavia.

CHRIsT1ANA, March 3.-Norwegians
are not pleased with the temporary gov
ernment of the crown prince, who is
much stricter than his father and has
now shown that he will not allow Nor
wegians any little demonstrations Of
independence. Some days ago war
between Sweden and Norway was
limited at during a debate in the storth-
ing and Colonel Bassoe took the oppor-
tunity of pointing out that the Norweg-
ian fortresses We're good for nothing.
The minister of war hotly contradicted
the statement and several other mem.
bers also criticised Colonel Bassoe, but
the whole affair is causing great un
easiness here, as the mere suggestion OF
war between the sister countries in par
lament is proof Of the jealousy which
| exists.

BECKER CONFEssEs.
CUT HIS WlFe's BODY INTO PIECES
AND BOILED 1T IN KETTLE.

Chicago Sausage Maker Confesses fully TO
Killing His Helpmate and Making Away
With the Body-Struck Her on the
Head With IL Hatchet.
CHICAGO, March 15.-August A.
Becker, the sausage maker who has
been under arrest for four weeks on
charge of numbering his wife, has made
a full confession. He said he cut his
wife to pieces and burned the remains
in stove.
Becker when first arrested admitted
he killed his wife. but declared he
pushed her off the Randolph street via
duct into the lake, and that she was
drowned The police have never placed
any reliance in the drowning confess
sion and have kept up their work in the
idea that Becker had killed the woman
in his house and made away with the
body. The finding of a portion of q
human lung three days ago in Becker's
barn put strength in their theory, and
late last night they induced Becker to
confess.
In his confession Becker said he had
killed his wife by striking her on the
head with hatchet in the kitchen of
his home. He then cut the body to
pieces and boiled it in a large kettle.
After watching the disintegration OF
the remains for several hours and when
nothing was left that resembled q
human body, Becker says he took what
remained and burned it in a red hot
stove, the fire having been prepared by
him. The bones which would not burn
he buried on the prairie. January 81
was the date Becker says he committed
the murder. He asserts the crime wa
not premeditated, but that he quarrellet
with his wife on the Afternoon
of that day and in the heat o
passion he struck her on the heat
with the hatchet. Only one blow wa
needed to cause death, and after tha
had been struck the sausage maker say
he thought of the way to dispose of tn
remains Of his wife to escape detection
The piece of lung and a portion of cali
CO which were found under the barn
and which the police believed to b
strong evidence against Becker, he say
could not be any part of his wife, as h
, is certain he destroyed every particl
of flesh, and ne maintains the dres
) which she wore was also entire]
