TWO DOUBLE TRAGEDIES
BODIES OF WIDOW AND A STU
DENT FOUND NEAR ATLANTA.
Both Had Bullet Holes I'm the Temples
and Were Charred by Fire-Mur-
der and Suicide In ST. Louis.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 1s.-The dead bodies
OF Mrs. III. M. Wilson, young widow, and
William Hamilton, a student in pharmacy
who disappeared from Atlanta one week
ago to-day, were found last night one mile
from the end of the Chattahoochee car line
The surroundings indicated that Hamilton
had killed Mrs. Wilson. set fire to the
woods near her body and then ended his
own life. Both bodies fearfully
burned, and rested upon the breastworks
thrown up by the Confederates to stem
the advance of the federal army on At
lanta in the war between the States Mrs
Wilson was lying by the side of fallen
sapling There was q bullet hole through
her right hand and another in the right
temple. The left foot was burned entirely
off, the flames had destroyed her hair, and
her left hand was burned save for one
finger, which bore a wedding ring. By the
side of Hamilton was found a revolver and
an empty cigarette box. There was hole
in Hamiltons left temple, and few inches
from his left hand lay a small mirror.
When Mrs Wilson left her mothers home
one week ago she wore only morning
gown of light material and lightweight
dressing sacque. She was without a hat
and her feet were encased in slippers.
Hamilton came to Atlanta from Mobile.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-The President
again gave expression to-day to his opin-
ion that an extra session of Congress will
be necessary. To Representative Lane, of
Iowa, who invited him to visit the Rock
Island Arsenal on the occasion OF his pro-
posed Western tour, the President said:
81 will take the invitation under consider
alton, but 1 cannot now make any promises.
L may have to invite you all back here"
Representations that the President has
said there will be an extra session, and has
fixed upon a definite date are in error.
In some instances the Presidents remarks
have probably been misunderstood The
President has most strongly indicated his
belief that an extra session cannot be
avoided, but he has not positively said
there will be one or fixed any date. He
could do neither at this juncture. for the
excellent reason that the Cubans have not
yet reached an agreement themselves, and
may delay final action until past March
Is. The Cuban Constitution and the fall
ure of the convention to do certain things
will be the basis for call for an extra
session. Therefore, as the President has
repeatedly stated, the events OF the next
few weeks will determine the whole mat

WASHINGTON. Feb. I-In speaking to-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-In speaking to-
tervailing duty on Russian sugars, secre-
tary Gage said:
"It is not a question of what the manu-
facturers desire or think ought to be. 1t
is not question Of what the sugar re-
hners or our beet raisers desire or think
law and fact. The secretary of the treas
ury is sworn to enforce the law, not to
make law. The late decision as to the
liability of Russian sugar to pay a. coun-
ment's apprehension of the law and or the

Is body constituted by Congress espe-
puted questions of law and of fact growing
out of the administration of customs laws.
Our own citizens take their grievances
there, the importers of Russian sugar may
take their grievances there. The way Is
open for the prompt hearing and determi-
nation of their appeals if made. 1t lies with
them to consent by silence or to seek
judicial review through the avenue that
our laws provide.
The secretary has received a number
of inquiries in regard to his action, and
follows:
relative to the countervailing duty on Rus
sian sugars, / have to inform you that,
after careful consideration of the effects
of the Russian law and regulations on the
price of that commodity for home con-
sumption and the price for expectation, as
exemplified in reports from our consular
offices in Russia this department has ar
rived at the conclusion that Russia indi-
rectly pays or bestows bounty the
export of sugars within the meaning Of
Section of the act of July "a 1897, and
consequently that ii was my duty under
the law to proclaim the net amounts of
such bounties for the assessment of addi-
tional duties. which was done by depart
ment circular of No. 10. of Feb. IA. 1901.
minister Of finance should have considered
this action in the light of a discrimina-
tion on our part against Russian COM
merce, as stated in our recent daily press,
and have withdrawn from our imports into
Russia the privileges of the conventional
tariff of that country, to which the United
States is entitled under the most favored
nation clause in our treaty of commerce
and navigation with Russia of 1882. The
allegation of discrimination appears to
be unfounded in view of the fact that sugars
tries, such as France. Germany, Belgium,
the Netherlands, etc., are subjected TO adj
ditional duties under said Section s. and
that unless the above stated conclusion of
this department is reversed by a compe-
tent tribunal the exemption of Russian
sugars from additional duty would rightly
be regarded by the other bounty-pay wing
countries as a discrimination against them
and in favor of Russia. 1t is hoped that
to the Russian government by our Depart
ment of State, the reputed order of the
Russian minister of finance will be re-
voked."

Attitude of the Russian Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1S--The corre-
spondent here of the Associated Press is
informed that the Americans in st. Peters
burg regard the attitude OF the Russian
people and press as extremely gratifying,
and as a prognostication of speedy set
tlement Of the commercial differences, or,
in all events. guarantee against worse
results. The press is entirely dispassion-
ate, evidently regarding the reprisal as
not proportioned to the injury Russia sus-
tained. There are some who think that
De Witte struck overhastily and angrily,
and believe a reconsideration or modifica-
tion is possible. The Americans empha-
size the necessity of patience, since the
matter must adjust itself mutually and in
q tolerable manner whenever the Supreme
Court decides. no matter how the decision

DE WET HEADED OFF.


LONDON, Feb. 1S.--A correspondent of
the Daily Mail, who is with the British
column pursuing General De Wet, says:
General De Wet has failed to reach his
objective, having been headed off in turn
from Strydenburg and Hopetown, respect
lively thirty-eight and ffty-five miles from
the scene of Fridays fight. Last night
a meeting of burghers was held in Gen.
eral De Vets camp TO protest against
the indiscriminate hogging of men, and
half the force threatened to surrender.
Eventually the malcontents decided to
fight independently"
The Pretoria correspondent of the Daily
Mail hints that Lord Kitchener is plan
ming campaign in the Northern Trans
vaal. especially in the neighborhood of
Petersburg, and in other districts not hith-
erto visited by British troops.
1t is reported that the Beers have occu-
pied yossburg, communication with that
place having been interrupted. 1t is as
serted that there are one thousand Beers
at Strydenburg and others at Houwater,
twenty-one miles from Britstown.

plenspotentiaries that the former require
ments must be strictly complied with.
Meanwhile great preparations are being
made by the various commanders pre-
paratory to the big expedition. especially
in the matter of transportation. Appar-
entity the only commanders who have
enough of anything for a long campaign
are the American, British and Japanese.
The others are deficient, especially the
German, although Count Won Waldersee
believes that in a few days he will have
all the supplies really necessary. He takes
the position that IL will be better to Sc
cure the greater part of the provisions
from the country itself, but most of the
generals think it unwise to take so great
risk. The British will rely entirely on
pack trains. ANY other method of trans
portation through the mountain passes
probably would be impossible, as, accord
ing to information received here. the Chi
nese have prepared for just this contin-
gency and have blocked every possible
pass with big boulders in order to rem
der the passages of artillery next to i'm
possible.
Many people in Peking say that Count
Won Waldersee is working q bluff IN
cooperation with the foreign ENJOYS, hop
ing to compel the Chinese plenipotentiaries
to comply with the demands of the pow
ers. The military authorities say this may
be the case, but that China would
never believe the foreigners again
II they failed TO send an expedi-
ton after DR.. Mumm Won Schwartzenstein

court did not accede to the demands of
the powers. Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang are greatly worried. They say the
court will blame them. They were in
trusted, they point out with the task of
pacifying the foreigners, and now as
another campaign is imminent, the court
will consider that their mission has failed.
