IN WATER ALL WINTER
Body of a Murdered Man Found in
Chicago.

Chicago May 6.-The Tribune says:
The body of a man found in the slip at
Morgan street and the South branch is
believed by the police to show a murder
committed during a strike last winter
The man is thought to be Bert Shaw
formerly Of Greene, N Y, and a. men,
Der Of local union of the Woodworkers
The police think Shaw was concerned in
the strike at Gauger's planning mill and
that he was murdered and thrown into
the river.
The body was first identified by the
working card of the union found in the
mans pocket.
There were signs of violence on the
body. With the union card was found
a letter of recommendation from man
ufacturing company of Greene, N. Y.
The police think the man was killed
about the date of the murder of Farress,
in November, 1900. They believe the man
was at work at Gauger's mill at the
time and that he met death at the hands
ress. Lieutenant Haynes said: Just as
soon as 1 learned that the body had been
in the water all winter and that the pa
pers indicated the man had some con-
nections with the strike of the wood
workers I concluded that murder had
been done. The case will be investiga-
ted Closely
The fact that a workman should dis
appear during the time of a strike in
mill where a. non-union man had been
murdered without causing comment is
explained by the police on the ground
that the man had not been known in
Chicago, his letters showing that he
came in June or July 1900.

MISSIONARY LOOTING.
American Pastor in China Explains
the Situa tion.

Boston, May 6.-The executive officers
of the American board have received
from the Rev. DR.. Arthur Smith, now
in Pekin, a statement defensive of the
missionaries against criticism in this
country. The board regards him as an
authority of the first rank on all Chi
nese affairs He says, among other
things, after referring to alleged mis-
representations of the affair in this
country:
AT the close of the siege DR.. Ament
found him self with several hundred
Chinese Christians on his hands, house
less, noneyless. and absolutely de-
pendent upon their foreign pastor. With
the permission of the Russian military
authorities and with the aid of the
United States legation Mr.. Ament took
possession of a Mongol house near the
former mission premises, and as it was
the headquarters for the boxers who
destroyed these premises. it was judged
right and proper by all the authority
then existing that the contents of this
house should be regarded as conhscated
and should be sold for the benefit of
the Christians. which was done. This
is the basis of the oft-repeated charge
of missionary looting. and it is a total
misuse of terms

Melbourne. May 6.-The Duke and

afternoon.
The duke and duchess were met at

been presented, the party passed down
a quarter of a mile of carpeted pier and
entered carriages surrounded by
guard of honor composed of Victorian
troops just returned from South Africa,
and proceeded distance of seven miles
through brilliantly decorated streets
bordered with continuous lines of
stands filled to their utmost capacity.
The entire route was lined with dem
onstrative crowds and the decorations,
arches, Venetian masts and columns
along the line of march were very
effective.
Opposite the town hall the procession
passed beneath the queens arch, can
opied with the royal colors and shelter
ing a golden statue of Queen Victoria.

Much Trouble.

Senator w. A. Harris Would

Plan Is to Call the Union L" Fu

With the anti-fusion and biennial
election laws to furnish the meat to be

meeting of the Peoples party state cen
traI committee. which viii convene at
the National hotel at o'clock this af-
ternoon, assumes an immense import
ance to the politicians on that side Of
the garden wall.
There are two or three schemes in the
air to evade the fusion law. One that is
credited to Senator Harris is to have
the Populists name half a ticket he
Democrats to name the other half Each
half ticket would go on the ballot in its
own column The voter would mark
each candidate in both columns, thus
voting a complete ticket. Webb Me-
NaIrs suggestion is that the two parties
get together in each county and have
the ticket printed on the official ballot
under the name of Fusion party.
There is just as much probability that
both parties will go it alone. The Popu-
lists in the bottom of their hearts con-
slider themselves strong enough to wage
battle against the Republicans alone
and the Democrats are not inclined to
give up their organization in the state.

KENNEDY'S THIRD TRIAL.
New York Man Again to Answer
Charge of Murder.

Kennedy will for the third time be
placed on trial for his life today, the
charge being the murder Of "Dollie"
Reynolds in the Grand Hotel, on August
16, 1899. 1t is expected that this third
trial will last about four weeks.
No new evidence will be introduced
by the prosecution, so far as is known
but it is believed that witnesses who
were not called in the previous trials
will testify as to DR.. Kennedy's move
ments on the night of the murder. For
the defense counsel say that they have
an entirely new witness.
Friends have interested themselves in
the Kennedy family and four of them
are endeavoring to raise funds to assist
in the defense and to provide for Mrs
Kennedy's wants while her husband is
in prison.
