Murder or Suicide?

Boston, May 2l-Mae Butler, an unus-
ually handsome woman, % years Of age,
and said to have been married, was
found dead in bed at the residence of
Mrs. A. e. Wright, in Roxbury this
morning with dagger in her breast
Edwin T. Wright, son of Mrs. Wright is
under arrest on suspicion of having MUIR
dered her.
Wright is 81 years old, and says he
became acquainted with Mrs. Butler at
a restaurant where che was employed as
a waitress. She was taken ill and as
she appeared to be without home or
friends, he took her to his home.
According to Wright's story, Mrs.
Butler asked him to sit in the room with
her last night and he remained there
chatting with her until after midnight.
Then she asked him to get her drink
Of water.
He went down stairs, and on returning
found her lying on her back with the
dagger in her breast, just above the
heart.
He pulled the dagger from the wound
and shouted to his mother, who upon
reaching the chamber found him stand
ing by the bed with the weapon in his
hand.
A physician was quickly summoned
but the woman had expired almost in
stantly.
Benjamin Wright, the prisoners
brother, bottled the police that Mrs.
Butler had committed suicide, but they
found such suspicious circumstances
that they declined to allow the body to
be removed until the medical examina-
ton had been made.
Tho police say shs could not have in
ficted the wound herself.
Little is known of the woman except
that she had worked in the restaurant
whore young Wright evidently fell in

TransvaaI Is Recognized.

Washington, May 2l-The Boer am
bassadors take issue with the state de-
partment officials who hold that the
South African republics are not entitled
to be received in diplomatic capacity
by this government.
The state departments position is:
First-That these republics have not
the right to make treaties, which is the
issuance of sovereign power, and that
only sovereign power is entitled by
right Of diplomatic representation.
Second-That the United States, in
the cese of American citizens held by
the Transvaal at the time of the Jameson
raid, treated With Great Britain as tho
suzerain for their release.
The answer OF the Boer ambassadors
to the first proposition is:
First-That Russia, France, Belgium
and Holland have recognized DR.. Ledys
in diplomatic capacity, proving that
the Transvaal is regarded as a sovereign
power.
Second-That the Transvaal has a
right to make treaties which will be
valid if not objected to by Great Britain
within six months
AS to the state departments second
proposition:
The invaders in the case of the jane
son raid we're without exception, under
the British flag, whether Of American,
English, Russian or German nationality,
and were with propriety or even necess-
ity turned over to the British govern
ment. For this reason only the United
States conducted the negotiations with
Great Britain.
1t has been arranged at the state de
partment that the ambassadors shall call
there tomorrow. They will be received
as ambassadors with the plenary power
with which they are invested by Presi-
dent Kruger and President Steyn.
