MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.
1t Was Enacted In a Chicago Room
ing House.


CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-After taking every
precaution to prevent the identity of HIM
slf and his victim from becoming known.
a man supposed to be John Furnell shot
and killed young woman and then tried
to commit suicide In a roomiug house at
1G3 West Madison street, today. When
the door of the room was openea this
evening the indications were that the
woman had been dead about five hours.
The man was yet alive, and semi-con-
scfous. At the county hospital he be-
came unconscious, and the Identity Of
both remains mystery. The doctors
said they did not believe he would re-
cover
They, the police believe, were theat-
rical people, Judging from their appear
ance, their baggage, and many photo
graphs and other articles found in the
room. Despite the mans efforts to con-
ceal their identity, the police believe his
name is John F'urnell, that he was an
actor, and formerly connected with the
Coon Hollow" company.
The cause of the crime is as much
mystery as the identity Of the two. There
were no letters found in the room, and
nothing occurred during the stay of the
couple at the rooming house to give the
officials clew as to the cause except
that the man acted strangely, and may
not have been in his right mind

WATCHING FRANCE.
GunbOat Machfas Ia Ordered to Santo
Domingo.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The Machias
has been ordered from San Juan to San
to Domingo. She left that place few
days ago to secure coal at San Juan. and
1t Is deemed well to have a naval vessel
on hand to protect American interests In
case any trouble follows the attempt of
the French naval commander to enforce
the settlement Of the pending French
claim of $50. GOO
1t is not believed that there Is any
chance for any conflict between the
French and American naval officers in the
execution Of the secret instructions, but
apparently the United States min. at
Santo Domingo believes that in the In
terest of peace there should be a larger
naval force than one vessel there during
this exciting time
The news that success has attended a
popular subscription to raise the $4,000
to pay the calm is also regarded as tend
ing to avert danger or the adoption OF
fercible measures by the French war
ships commander.

of the men through spoiled meats. The

fresh, and not canned meat.
The other report is from Lieut.. Col.
Plunmer. He states that 2Ss men were
made sick on Oct. 20 and %, after leaving
Honolulu. bound for Manila. and one
mar died. This was the result of pto-
maine poisoning from the condition of the
fresh meat eaten. From the experience;
of the voyage Col. Plun1nler recommends
that meat for the use Of troops be packed
by persons expert In packing fresh meats
for long voyages. Also that officers of
the auartermaster's and commissary' s de-
partments be occasionally sent on the
transports to acquire experience.
Gen. Weston has forwarded reports to
Maj. Baldwin. the commissary In charge
at San Francisco. to develop other facts

United States Consular Agent Mitchell,

connected with the killing at that place

France Sees 1t Fall With the Great

PARIS, Jan. s.-The Temps this evening
devotes its leading editorial to the Amer
lean diplomatic victory in the contest for
the "open door In China. 1t says:
Europe could not place difficulties in
the way of Washington's proposal. Each
power has always accompanied the lit
tie partitions of China which have taken
place with the formal understanding to
maintain the conventional status quo. 1t
seems then that Secretary Hay gave HIM
self a superfluous task and gained an
easy victory, since nobody disputed 1t.
Nevertheless, negotiations are grave
novelty. The United States are now act
ing as great world power They have
emerged from their time-honored isola-
ton. 1t means that the Monroe doctrine
has fallen like part Of the great wall
Of China President Mckinley and his
secretary Of state has fastened this In

a place in history by taking the RESPONSE

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sin an opinion
handed down In the United States SUI
preme court today by Justice Harlan. the
title of the California & Oregon Railway
company to large tracts Of land in the
state of Oregon was confirmed. The lands
were granted to the railway company

Northern Pacific claims it under an earlier
grant. but it was shown this company had
not filed map of it's location. and thus
failed to earn the grant. The court ruled
that under later grant the Oregon
company was entitled totthe lands.
The lands lie south of Portland. and
largely in the Willamette valley. They
embrace about $4,000 acres, and are said
to be worth now 5000. 900 or Sc, Goe.G COO
