KILLED BY AN AMERICAN.
Paul Jaujou Murdered In a French
Railway Coach.

haltNaS tthths
PARIS. Jan. 12-Paul Jaujou. the IA
nous brewer whose name is household
word in France and is also well known
among Americans frequenting Paris aud
the Rivera, was killed last night in first
class railway carriage by William Mar
tins. an American boy. scarcely twenty
years old.
The Rivera train had left Paris at s
p. m. In the compartment occupied by
Martins were a young Englishman and NJ.
and Nine Jauiou. The express had just
passed Tonnerre, when Martins violently
accused the Englshman of wanting to
chloroform and rob him He soon worked
himself into a frenzy and presently drew
q revolver and threatened his imaginary
antagonist
NJ Jaujou did not understand English,
but nevertheless thought 1t time to inter
fere. He tried to disarm Martins, and the
latter shot him through the brain. NJ.
Jaujou fell back dead in the arms of his
distracted wife. The alarm bell brought
the trainmen, but Martins held them all at
bay for a time with his pistol. Finally
however, the locomotive engineer sprang
upon him and secured the weapon. Mar
tins was then bound hand and foot and
placed in baggage car at Dijou. The
murderer and the body of his victim were
taken in charge By the police.
The American Embassy is examining the
case. First Secretary Vignaux said: I'm
less we can prove insanity. Martins will be
the first American citizen ever guillotned."

LETTERS FROM MACRUM.
They Contain Nothing to Indicate
Why He Left Prctorip


The mystery surrounding the intense
desire Of Consul James E. Macrum to get
! back to the United States from Pretoria.
when his presence at the Transvaai capt.
tai was urgently required was deepened
yesterday by the receipt at the State De-
partment Of number of mail despatc'.es
from Mr.. Nacrum. Most of these commu-
nications recorded the confirmation OF the
dispatches sent by telegraph by the con-
sui. The State Department regulations re-
quire that diplomatic and consular officers
shall mail to the department copies of all
telegraphic messages. so that there will be
70 danger of mistakes through telegraphic
bulls. 1t was naturally expected by the
department that in his mail reports Mr.
Macrum would explain the meaning OF 1is
mysterious reference to matters Of in
tense interest 10 himself personally and
American citizens" which he gave as the
reason why he should he granted permis-
sion to return TO the United States. NO
such explanation is offered by the consul,
however. in the reports received yesterday.
He encloses copies of the several kilograms
sent by him to the department in relation
in which he so mysteriously alludes 10 i'm
portant reasons for his presence in Wash
ington are explained merely by the usual
formal introduction. Il have the honor to
confirm herewith my telegram Of this date,
as follows"
Although considerably mystified over the
kilograms themselves. the State Depart
ment officials are plunged deeper in the
dark than before through the remarkable
reticence of Mr. Micrum as shown in his
mail reports. II was understood at the d.
partment that there might be reasons
which would deter Mr.. Macrum from com
municating important information by tele-
graph even in the secret cipher. but they
cannot understand wny ne should have
failed to send by mail whatever news he
wished to convey. no matter how coufden-
tial il might be.
In his mail reports he would not be re-
stricted in the use OF words as in a cable
message. and every opportunity was Of
fered him of making a thorough explana-
ton of the reasons that were at the bottom
of his urgent request for leave to return

FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Moro Money Wanted TO Complete
Structures in Process of Erection.

The Committee on Public Buildings ard
Grounds yesterday gave a hearing to AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Taylor,
who stated that work on the public build
ings authorized by the last Congress had
been delayed by an increase Of 30 per cent
in the cost OF building materials, and that
therefore additional appropriations would
be required to construct the buildings. lie
mentioned public buildings at Seattle, Salt
Lake City. and Eau Claire, which were
authorized last year and for which appro-
priations were made, as an instance. He
said the increased cost of building ma
terials, as well as an advance In the price
of real estate would leave but scant sum
with which to begin work on the buildings
for the above cities. Mr.. Taylor made
favorable impression on the committee,
which Will, it is believed. recommend an
increase in appropriation for buildings au-
thoriZed by the last Congress.
