County Attorney Says He Has the
Documentary Proof

Eureka, Kan, April 10-Despite a
vigorous denial by the counsel for Mrs

confessed her guilt, it is declared to be
fact that they are confessed murder
ers. county Attorney johnson states

STRANGE SUICIDE.
Hotel Guest Kills Himself After
Reading That He Had Done So.

Omaha, Neb., April 10.-Because his
friends seemed to think he had commit
ted suicide, A. ]. Smith, of Salt Lake,
Utah, last night drank chloroform and
arsenic and today was found dead.
Much mystery surrounds the peculiar
case but the police are firmly of the
opinion that the man killed himself be-
cause an item was printed in the local
press saying Salt Lake friends were in
quiring about him, and thought he had
committed suicide.
This matter was printed Saturday.
The police had received such inquiry
from Salt Lake, where Smith is prom
inent business man, but were unable to
learn of such a case. When the dead
body was found today the clipping re-
ferring to his supposed suicide of three
days ago was found on the table of the
room.
There was every evidence of DELHI
crate preparation. A will had been
drawn up, in which his body was be-
queathed to the Omaha Medical society.
A dollar was given to the chambermaid
who looked after that particular por-
ton of the hotel, and other property re-
ferred to, at Salt Lake, was left to a
number of people.

22 TO l..
Negotiations Looking to That Ratio
Have Been Going On.

London. April 10.-A blue book giving
the evidence obtained by the Indian
currency inquiry committee was pub
lished here today. 1t includes a letter
from the United States secretary of
state, Col John Hay, to Lord Alden
ham, a director of the Bank of England
dated November 25 last, saying:
The Washington cabinet does not
consider it expedient for the United
States to reopen the bimetallic question
at present in view of the character of
the British ministry's reply to the BIZ
metallic commission in 1897"
Col Hay added that the cabinet was
open to consider the question of ratio.
Lord Alderman suggested before the
committee that negotiations be entered
into upon the part of Great Britain
with the United States with a view to
coming to an agreement for the re-
opening of the Indian minis at the ratio
of % to 1, because he thought there
american government taking the bit in
its teeth and re-enacting the old ratio.''
Lord Alderman quoted Col. Hays letter
IN support of his view that the Ameri-
can government was disposed to adopt
the ratio of p to 1. He added: Il talk
ed with Col. Hay when he was here a.
ambassador and he seemed faVorably
disposed to this ratio, but said, L am
an outgoing ambassador and of course
have no power
Il pointed out that he would have
conslderab BILE influence when he got back
to America and assumed the secretary

munlcate with me. He waited for some
time after he returned. 1 think, inten-
I1onally, until after the congressional
eIectlonS and then wrote the letter."

HOW HE FOOLED THEM.
The Wasted Sympathy and Flowers
of the Topeka Pension Office
Clerks.

[From the Kansas City Start
There is a custom among the employees
of the pension office in Topeka that took
an unexpected turn recently. The clerks
when they draw their monthly salaries,
contribute to a fund which is put in the
charge of one of their number, and is
used to buy flowers for those who die
while in the employ of the office. There
has been no deaths in Is months, and
the fund has been growing so large that
it has made it's treasurer uneasy.
A few weeks ago one of the clerks be-
came quite i'll. He lay very low for a
long time and the treasurer counted the
money in the fund again by way of pre-
paration for spending it. But the clerk
FINGERED on and was slow in dying
that it was suggested that, as flowers
bought and sent to him, that he might
enjoy them himself.
So a committee of the clerks made the
rounds of the flower shops and bought
so many roses and carnations and vio-
lets that they were forced to carry them
to the home of the sick friend in
bushel basket.
The sick mans housekeeper ushered
the delegation up to the room, and the
the room vaguely and then, seeing the
clerks standing smiling with the basket
of flowers between them, he rose with
his elbow on his pillow. His eyes filled
with anger and his face showed only
disgust.
Good Lord!'' he said, cts a wonder
you fellows couldn't wait awhile. You
needn't "a been in such an ALFRED
hurry. Just chuck those roses away, for
I'm goin' to get we'll and fool you all
yet"

SOUTHERN RACE PROBLEM.
Booker T. Washington Advises the
Negroes to Become Democrats.

Tuskegee. Ala, April. 1O.-Prof. Booker
T. Washington, answering the request OF
a prominent colored man in North Caro-
lima as to what should be done to allay
the present conflict between the races,
clearly advises him to make allinace with
the triumphant Democracy. Says the let
ter:
II have been asking myself lately some
rather serious questions and 1 want to put
one or two of them to you. Is there any
reason why the negroes in the south
should continue to oppose the southern
white man and his politics? Is this not
the source of nearly all our trouble? IN
consciously we seem to have gotten the
idea into our blood and bones that we are
only acting in a manly way when we OPP
pose southern white men with our votes:
In some way, by some method, we must
bring the race to that point where it will
cease to feel that the only, way for 1t TO
succeed is to oppose everything suggested
or put forth by the southern white men.
This / consider one of our real problems
Il believe that there are thousands of
white Democrats in North Carolina who
are 80 per cent better friends to the negro
than Governor Russell. and 1 see no ne
cessity in continuing to follow Governor
Russell. who has no power to protect or,
if he has the power, does not exercise it,
rather than these other white men who
can protect if we cease to continually
and forever oppose them"

.DEWEY'S POLITICS.
He Considers It Largely Matter of
Geography.


New York, April 1O-Admira1 Dewey
has given to the Manila correspondent
of Leslie's Weekly a very free and full
interview regarding the suggestion that
the admiral be made candidate for the
presidency next year. In every respect
the interview is a confirmation of the
admiraPs statement that he would, on
no consideration, be presidential can
didate.
Leslie's correspondent says:
After talking of the previous days
experience of the war and of minor
matters I asked Dewey if he objected
to speak upon a subject that was in
teresting millions of people to whom
his name was a household word-upon
the subject of his possible candidacy
for the presidency in 1900.

of that subject" he said, but you

Dewey look at me a moment and
smiled.
well, you see, am sailor A sailor
has no politics. The administration is
his party, and Republican or Democrat
1t makes no difference. Then, again, I
come from Vermont, and you know
what that means. To be anything but

to an interview to that effect

you would accept such a nomination."
I asked.
The senator is an old, staunch friend
OF mine. 1 have known him all my life
He has written me on this subject. 9th

sumptuous to accept a nomination be-

Finally he said that neither by voca-
was he calculated to fill such a position
slider such a possibility. His health
would not admit it, All his life's work
was in different lines of effort, and while
the kindness and enthusiasm of his
friends were grateful to him and the
generous tributes of the American peo-
pie were dear to him he could not and
would not be a candidate for the presi-
dency of the United States under any
conditions.

Wheeling, W. Va

Bay City, Mich, April 10.-The Con-

started four cars today under guard Of
deputy sheriffs. A crowd attacked

off and drove them away. Another car
had its windows smashed and had to be
taken to the barn. Otherwise the strike
situation is unchanged. But the crowd
in this city is assuming a threatening
attitude. The cars are carrying no pas

NO CARS RUNNING.
Wheeling, WA, April 10.-The strik-
car strikes today. The Wheeling Street
Railroad company has made no at
tempt to operate cars since Saturday
afternoon and the tie up is absolute A
request was made by the company that
a policeman be put on each car but the
start cars was made. The policemen
notified the chief that they would re-
sign in a body if such an order was is
sued.
1t is understood the company asked
the governor for troops, but the mayor
refused his consent which is necessary.
The employees of the Bridgeport, Be

Wheeling company will probably join
the strikers tomorrow. They have been
ordered to run cars on branches opera

fuse. New men brought here today were
