1t cannot be successfully contradicted

have insurance that future generation,
as well as the present, may carry at the

Both Emperor William and Empress Au-
gusta Victoria, besides Baron Won Buelow,
the foreign minister and other ministers
with their wives, attended the banquet Civ
en- by Sir Frank Lascelles, the British am
bassador, to Cecil Rhodes, who appears to
have personally impressed everybody from
the Emperor downward.
With the exception of the extreme agra

regard him as Gust the sort of man that

GOVERNMENT TURNED DOWN.
Demand for Increase in German
Army Was Rejected.

Berlin, March 14.-During the discussion
OF the second army bill in the Reichstag
to-day. the minister of war, Gen. Won
Gessler, said the measure was a factor
in favor of unity, adding that the defense
of the fatherland was no party question.
The bill, he continued, had been altered
in committee, but he hoped the Reichstag
would restore it to its original shape. The
reduction of the peace reserve by 1000
men, he added, was of vital Importance,
and he could not accept the reduction,
as the present state of the battalions was
prejudicial to the efficiency of the army.
The war minister then appealed TO the
patriotism of the Reichstag, asking that
body to grant the governments demands
in their entirety.
The Reichstag, later by a vote of 209
10 l4l, rejected the army increase demand
ed by the government. The budget com
mittee's proposal was also rejected.
The Center and Freissinnige Union voted
with the minority. The rest of the army
bill was adopted without debate. Its third
reading will take place on Thursday. In
the meantime the members of the Reich
stag will be able to weigh the govern
ments statements before finally voting

washington March II, 1s99-My Dear

give the Chicago platform unanimous sup
port, am anxious to know what you think
is likely to be the attitude of the party
in New York state on this question at the
coming national convention. My own I'M
preston Is that the feeling Is oyerwhelm-

west in favor Of a practical
reafllrmation OF the Chicago plat
form. 1 would be glad TO know
what, in your opinion, is the feeling of
the party In your state on this question,
and whether the state is likely to send
"A delegation to the next national conven-
ton ready to cooperate with what seems
to be the wish of the majority, or whether
"A course similar to that pursued in New
York In 1895 is likely to be followed, In
case the Chicago platform should be prac-
tlcally reafirmed. / write you on account
of your prominent connection with the
party, and hope you will let me hear from
you promptly on this question. Very truly
yours, James X. Jones, Chairman"

b SAUSAGE MAKER ooNFEssEs.
August Becker Now Says He Cut His
Wife TO Pieces.

Chicago, March 14.--August A. Becker.
the sausage maker who has been under ar
rest for four weeks on a charge of murder
ing his wife, made a fun confession to-
night. He said that he cut his wife to
pieces and burned the remains in a stove,
Becker. when first arrested admitted kin
ing his wife; but declared he pushed her
off Randolph street viaduot into the lake
and she was drowned. The police have
never placed any reliance ia the drowning
theory and have kept up the work on the
theory that Becker had killed the woman
in his house and made way with the
body.
The finding of portion OF human lung
three days ago in Beckers barn, put
strength in their theory and late tonight
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
IL in large kettle Becker says he took
what remained and burned 1t in a red hot
stove The bones, which would not burn
he buried on the prairie near his home
Jan. q was the date. Becker says, ne COM
mitted the murder.
He asserts the crime was not premedi-
tated, but that he quarreled with his wife
on the afternoon Of that day, and In the
heat of passion he struck her on the head
with the hatChet.
The piece of lung and portion of calico
which were found under the barn, and
which the police believed TO be strong
evidence against Becker, he says could
not be any part of the body of his wife,
as he Is certain that he destroyed every
particle of flesh, and he maintains the
dress which she wore was entirely burn
cd.
The police will look for the woman's
bones tomorrow. They refuse 20 tell at
present the location of the spot where
Becker gays they are buried.
