KILLED HIS WIFE
Tacoma Han Commits Murder While
 Suffering From Nightmare.

Tacoma, Wash, March 26.-Dr. Charles Corey shot and killed his wife this morning while the two were lying asleep. Corey was ill and his story of the affair is that he was laboring under a nightmare, believing his wife was being pursued by stranger who was intent on killing her.
 In his dream, Corey says he follew- ed the two from Tacoma to Washing ton. D. C., and just as he fancied the man was about to stab his wife, he fired twice with his revolver. He awoke with start to find himself sit ting in bed with a smoking revolver in his hand. His wife lay beside him, shot twice through the head. Corey had drawn his revolver from it's place under the pillow and killed his wife. The relations between Corey and his wife have been very affectionate and the authorities believe his story.

"CHPITHL PUNISHMENT"
Rev. pr. peter'S Sermon tn Opposi- lion fo inc Death Penalty.

New York, March 26.-"Capital Pun
 ishment' was the theme of the Rev.
 Dr. Madison c. Peters sermon at the BIoomingdaIe Reformed church this morning. His text was taken from Genesis, 9:6: Whose sheddeth mans
 blood. by man shall his blood be shed" :"
 No two great lights of Oriental learning" said Dr. Peters, agree upon the interpretation of this text. Some
 eminent philologists claim that the injunction only forbids cannibalism. Whose sheds mans blood, his blood shall be shed. That is the whole sen- tence in the original. By man is an interpolation.
 Whenever a doctrine is of impor- tance in the bible it appears again and again. In history, biography, para blcs, letters, proverbs, poems and speeches this is the case. but here is this single sentence. To this one doubtful verse we must hang, to hang at all. This commandment was ad dressed to Noah when there was no government, and when there were only six or seven men on earth. Whenever a man had taken a life the next of kin had a right to kill the murderer of his relation, but that law was addressed to individuals and not to nations"
 Dr. Peters went on to say that while he opposed capital punishment he was in favor of it's enforcement as long as it remained upon the statute books regardless of sex. The history of he said. shows that the most fendish and cooly deliberate have been committed by wo- men. Dr. Peters said that he be- lieved in the abolition of the death | penalty as statistics show that because of popular feeling against capital pun convictions are hard to se- cure, and only small per centage of are carried out.
 The objects aimed at'' he said "by punishment are to restrain the offend sr from repeating the crime and to keep others from initiating it. This ,an be done by shutting the individ- lal i'll jail. where he can be kept as securely as if he was in his grave. With the abolition of the death penalty must go the denial to the governor of he right to pardon first degree cases.

MARINE CORPS.
It Will Be Raised to the Full Limit Authorized by the
 New Law

Washington, March &c., Arrange ments are being made for increasing the marine corps to the 5000 limit au- thorized by law. During the war the enlisted strength of the corps was 1000 and many of these were in the regular establishment, so the recruiting officers anticipate no great difficulty in getting the remainder of the force. It is pro posed to establish recruiting stations along the great lakes and the Atlantic seaboard and begin the work of enlist ment at once. A quartermaster depot will be established at San Francisco to facilitate the purchase and ship ment of stores to the Philippines, Guam, Samoa and the Hawaiian is lands.

NOT BROKEN OFF.
Rumors About the Anglo-American Commission Denied in the
 House of Commons.

London, March 26.-Replying to a question asked by Sir Charles Dilke in the house of commons, MT. Brodrick parliamentary foreign secretary, said he was not in position either to deny or confirm the statement appearing in some American newspapers regarding a breakdown in the negotiations of the Anglo-American commission. He added that the members of the com mission had agreed to maintain abso- lute secrecy, but as constantly happens on such occasions, some sort of ac- counts crept out which were more or less authentic.
 So far as he could say at present, the situation was inexact, and must be ac- cepted with considerable reserve. It was the desire and hope of the late Lord Herschell and the other com missioners that an agreement would be reached when the commission met again.

PAYMENT OF STAINS DEBTS.
Royal Decree Issued By the Govern ment to Appropriate Funds Until
 the Cortes Meets

London, March 26.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Standard says he has learned from high authorized sources that all the requiremtns of the treasury and the credits neees- sary to wind up the affairs of the lost colonies will be met until the cortes meets, by royal decree similar to those regarding the payment of the coupons of the colonial loans and the payment of the arrears to the repatriated troops.
 The government meantime will pre- pare plans for the conversion and con- solidation of the war debts and allied items, exceeding an aggregate of eS,- 100000. The conversion will take the shape of redeemable debt with peninsula guarantees.
 The correspondent gives the details of scheme to bring about equilibrium in the budget by reforms in the taxes, but says that with all the contem- plated reductions and settlements the country will require $ 35 100000 for it's annual expenditures, whereas taxation has never yet produced more than $ 31 ,00O,N0O.

New Orleans, March 26.-Passengers from Bluefields, Nicaragua, say that peace and harmony prevail there now.

There are fifty political pris- oners at BluetielG5 awaiting court martial. They are all natives. and it is probable that most of them will be shCt.

CONSIDERING A POPE
LeO'S Condition Known to
 Be Critical.
German and Austrian Cardinals Op. posing inc French and Spanish. Reasons Advanced Why Gibbons Of America May Be Chosen.

Paris, March 26.-A prominent French ecclesiastic who arrived this
 evening from Rome brings to Cardinal
 Richard, Archbishop of Paris, news
 that in the inner circles of the vatican
 the condition of Pope Leo XIII is
 known to be so critical, notwithstand- ing the hopeful statements of Doctors Lapponi and MazzOni, that the Papal
 succession may be considered already
 open. For three days the Sacred col
 lege has been weighing the claims of
 the best qualified candidates. The
 thirty Italian cardinals who sit in the
 Sacred college are said to hold different
 opinions in regard to the attitude the
 next Pope should maintain toward the
 Quirinal. The twenty-seven foreign cardinals of the Sacred college are also divided on the question of a protecto- rate over Roman Catholics in the Holy Land, which has been so eagerly dis cussed since Emperor Williams visit there last autumn. The German and Austrian cardinals are resolutely op- posed to France continuing to mo- nopolize such protection, while the French and Spanish cardinals insist upon maintaining it.
 In ecclesiastical circles here the opinion is that the two most likely sue cesSors to Leo XIII are Cardinal Sa tolli, who in the conclave would have the votes of at least sixteen Italian cardinals, besides those of more than half of the foreign cardinals, and Car dinaI Gibbons, whom French and Ger man cardinals are willing to support as a compromise on the Holy Land protectorate question, and to whom many Italian cardinals would accord their suffrages, not only on account of the enlightened character of the Arch ! the growth of Catholi- cism in the United States by fiattering the country's pride, but also because | the Italian cardinals feel convinced | annual influx of Americans to Rome, i and probably sextuple the amount of | the Peters Pence, which during the | last twelve months has dwindled to i 6, 100000 lire, the smallest amount yet | recorded, and prove boon to the Ro- man tTadesmen. It appears that Leo | XIII is very sad and Respondent since the death of his warm personal friend, the late Monseignor Clari, Papal envoy to Paris which deeply affected him.
