authority for the statement that Sc
cret negotiations are being carried on
looking to a reconciliation between
General William Booth and his son Bal
lington. Father and son have been
estranged for five years, the son having
in the meantime organized the volun-
teers Of America. The cause of the
estrangement, according to Mr.. Hazard,
was the refusal of Ballington Booth TO
submit to the order Of transfer from
the United States to Canada. IL the
reconciliation is effected. it will mean
Ballington's return to the Salvation
Army, and probably result In tho

NEW YORK, June 2.-The Cunarder
Etruria, which has &,een anchored il

to her dock early this morning. She
brought over in all 31S passengers,

Vincent Finn, a graduate OF st. Pat
rick's Roman Catholic College, at Car
low, Ireland. He said that he had been
ordained as a priest and had had charge
at New Ross and Blackwater. He ex-
planned that he had severed his connec-
ton with the Catholic church because
he could not preach peace when he be-
lieyed that only war could save his
country from being depopulated.
Father Finn had written books on
the Instruction of 1898 and other Irish
subjects. He says that while here he
will work for the freedom OF Ireland.

WASHINGTON, June Mrs. Nc
Kinley continues very weak. Her con-
dition is not greatly changed from that
OF yesterday, but each day that elapses
without a gain in strength lessons her
powers of regeneration. The complaint
which came near ending her life in San
francisco, is still present. 1t is in a
slightly less aggravated form, but gives
the physicians and the President much
concern. Mrs. Mckinley has shown re-
markable vitality, but her illness has
so reduced her strength as to leave
her very feeble indeed. 1t is feared
that unless a change for the better
soon manifests itself, her strength may
her without rallying power. The news
given out by the physicians in attend
ance to-day was not reassuring, though
hope of better things still continues.
After a consultation between Drs.Rixey,
Sternberg and Johnston, the following
bulletin was issued:
"Mrs. Mckinley passed a comfortable
night, but her condition has not mater
tally changed since the report of yes
terday."
There were no further consultations
6f the physicians during the day, but
DR.. Rixey called during the evening
and spent some time with the patient.
In response to inquiries from time to
time, the statement was made that there
had been no change in the condition of
the sufferer.
President Mckinley spent most of the
day at the bedside of his wife. Late in
the afternoon he went out for an hours
drive. He departed alone. but met
Judge Watson, of Ohio, an old friend,
on the way, and the latter accompanied
him to the White House.
There were many callers at the White
House during the day and evening,
making anxious. inquiries regarding
Mrs. Mckinley. With few exceptions,
they simply left their cards, after being
assured by the doorkeepers that there
was no change in the condition of Mrs.
Mckinley.
Doctors Rixey and Sternberg both
were in attendance at the White House
during the evening, although the latter
did not romain yary long Dr Riyey
was at the mansion for over two hours
and when he left for the night shortly
before IL o'clock he announced that at
that time Mrs. Mckinley was resting
comfortably as she had done all the
afternoon.
Senator Elkins called on the Presi-
dent during the evening and was with
him for about fifteen minutes.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June Nv. II.
Klensmire, whose wife was yesterday
found murdered near their home, at
Holton, Kans., buried in a shallow
trench, was arrested in Kansas City,
Kans., to-day. Marks on the body,
which is believed to have been buried
since May 18th, indicated that her
skull had been crushed with a club,
and suspicion was directed against the
husband, who disappeared on that date.
When arrested to-day, Klensmire
was at the station waiting to take a
train, as he said, for Holton. When
told that he was wanted on suspicion
of numbering his wife, he refused for
a time to talk. Then he declared that
his wife had committed suicide on May
18th. On the following morning, he
said, when he found the body hanging
from the rafters in their house, he took
it to the trench and buried it. Klens-
mire denied that he had murdered his
wife and after making this brief ad-
mission, refused to talk further. He
was taken to Topeka tonight.
Klensmire was supposed to have
gone to Texas, but it appears that de-
t%ectives. who have been working on the
case, traced him to Kansas City yes
terday. Friday last one of the Klens-
mlre children in Holton received a tel
egram from Texas, and apparently
from the father, stating that Mrs.
Klensmire had died there of yellow
fever. Following the finding of the
body, the mysterious murder in 1892 of
Paul Swetlick, Mrs. K~lensmire's broth
er, who carried $50, 900 life insurance in
favor of the Klensmires, was brought
forth as a suspicious circumstance and
mis- led to coupling Klensmire's mys-
ferrous disappearance with the killing
OF his wife.
klensmire was induced finally to
make the following statement:
MY wife and I disagreed frequently.
but | usually let her have her way.
Just before her death she was very
angry because l wanted to sell some
land to which she had signed a deed.
She said she would leave me. But I
did not want people to know she had
left me, and told her to say she was
going away on a visit. We had a few
words on Sunday, May II, about it.
She went away, and later / found her
body hanging from a rope in the barn.
Il took her body down, but was
afraid Of the disgrace, and hid it in the
straw. The next day I buried it. / told
the children she had gone to Texas, and
the telegram l had sent, saying that she
was dead, was intended to keep them
from knowing she had killed her
self"
All this was gotten out OF Klens-
mire In short, hesitatEng sentences.
Asked about the circumstances of his

wouldn't strike her"
There was not more than two feet
Of dirt owe the body. when 1t was
found. Klensmire is a German farmer,
48 years of age, and uneducated. He
talks with hesitation, and appears dull
of mind. The possibility that he would
be tried for murder, seemed secondary
to the disgrace that would result from
the publicity of the affair.
Klensmire was born near iHolton and
has always lived in that vicinity. His
mother and several brothers and sisters
live there, and are prosperous and re-
spected.
