washington, Nov. Shortly after
the death OF President Mckinley. the
Niscount de Santo-ThyrsO. Portuguese
minister to the United States. was
summoned to Lisbon. According to NJ.
Luis Augusta de Maura Pinto D'Azeu-
do Taveira, at present charge d'affaires
Of Portugal in this city, the viscount
was not made aware of the purposes
OF his summons to the Portuguese
capital. NJ. Taveira said today that,
further than this, ne knows nothing in
regard to the report that the viscOuuts
recall to Portugal had to do with a
premature announcement Of the death
of President Mckinley. When asked
whether an error of this sort on the
part of a diplomatic representative
would be regarded as sufficient ground
for his recall, NJ. Taveira said that it
all depended on the temper Of the gov
eminent in question.
The state department officials eZs
pressed increduity and surprise when
told OF the appointment OF a new min
lister from Portugal, and especially of
the allegation that the change was
made because Of a premature an
nOuncement Of President McKinIey's
death by Santo-Thyrso. This was the
first news that had reached them that
such an error had been made They
were quite sure that so far as the
United States government was con-
cerned, it had not been embarrassed
by any act OF the former minister. for
the records Of condolences received at
the department disclose the fact that
Portugal cOnfOrmed closely to the rules
observed by the other nations Of the
world.

experts, the most important of whom
was DIR. Andrew +. Mcbride. the county
physician, who performed the autopsy
on the body of the girl and declared that
she came to her death from the effects
of "some poison and Professor Ru-
dolph s. Witthaus, a chemist, who made
qualitative and quantitative analysis
of the stomach and other organs of the
girl and declared the presence of chloral

circumstances revolving in their utter lack
of humane considerations, commenced
yesterday before Judge Dixon In the Pas

George j. Kerr, the fourth man under in
dictment, was not in court, as he has been
granted a separate trial on the ground
that he was not present when the fatal
dose was administered to the girl.
Before the trial was begun 1t was ex-
pected that at least two days would be
necessary to complete the jury, but Judge
Dixon carried the proceedings on with
such vigor that within one hour after the
court was called to order he had empan-
elcd his II jurors and heard the opening
lines OF the address OF the prosecuting at
torney. The remainder of the day saw
four of the principal witnesses in the case
on. the stand. Mrs. Nina Bosschieter, the
mother of the unfortunate girl, was one,
her daughter Susie another, Christopher
Saal, the proprietor of the saloon where
it is alleged the girl was administered the
drug, was the third and Gus Scoulthorpe,
the hack driver of the horrible midnight
ride, was the last Mother and daughter
told of Jennie's life at home and at the
mill, telling fully of the incidents just
previous to the girls disappearance.

Doing the DisagreeabIe.

Naturalists say that, when examined
minutely with microscope, it will be
found that no creature or object in ma
ture Is positively ugly, that there is a
certain harmony or symmetry of parts
that renders the whole agreeable
rather than the reverse. SO the most
disagreeable tasks in life, when viewed
in their proper proportions. reveal a
poetic, an attractive side, hitherto un-
dreamed of. Turn on the sunlight of
good cheer, the determination to see
the bright as well as the dark side, and
you will find something pleasant even
in the most dreaded task.

A KANSAS LYNCHiN0.
Angry Mob Mt Lcnvenworth Burns n
Negro mt the stake.

LEAVENWORTH Kan. Jan. 1G.--
Fred Alexander. the negro who on Satur-
day evening attempted to assault Miss
Eva Roth and who was supposed TO have
assaulted and killed Pearl Forbes In this
city in November last. was taken from
the sheriff's guard by n mob and burned
Mt the stake at the scene OF his crimes.
lalf dozen blocks from the center of
the city. Probably 5000 people witnessed
the lynching
Alexander was brought to the city from
the penitentiary at Lansing at 4:3O
o'clock yesterday afternoon and placed in
the county Jail. The citizens gathered in
great numbers and, finding peaceable en-
trance to the Jail impossible armed them
selves with railroad irons. The jail doors
were battered down aud Alexander drag
ced to the scene of his crime, followed by
hundreds of bowling, frcnzied men and
boys. Arrived ut the scene u railroad rail
was stuck into the ground and the negro
fastened to it with chains. Then coal oil
was poured over his body and set afire.
The wretch protested his innocence to
the last.
Men kept piling on wood all the time
until about o'clock, when the flames
were allowed TO die down. From g to =
o'clock there was continuous stream of
people going to the scene of the burning.
These were persons who had been unable
to get away from their work in the after
noon and who were detcS,nined not to
miss seeing the awful spectacle. When
the fire had died down sufficiently to al
low the crowd to approach the remains of
Alexander. there was n wild scramble to
obtain relics. Bits of charred flesh,
pieces of chain. scraps of wood, every
thing that could possibly serve as SOU
venir, was seized on with morbid eager
ness.
After Alcxander's arrest he was taken
before Miss Roth, who identified him.
Since then a mob has surrounded the PEN
itcntiary day and night. The crowd be-
came so formidable that Governor Stan
ley. in response to telegram from War
den Tominson. ordered two companies Of
militia to be in readiness to start for
Leavenworth at moments notice.

ARMY BILL DELAYED.
slow Progress In Senate on Much
Needed Measure.

Necucu MeusUre.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Some prog.
ress was made by the senate yesterday
in the consideration of the army reor-
ganization bill. One amendment that
has created much debate was disposed
of, and tncit agreement has been
reached for "vote very soon"
Mr.. Cockrell OF Missouri emphasized
his opposition to the increase in the army
proposed by the bill and his intention to
vote against it, but expressed his opin-
ion that the bill ought to be disposed OF
speedily. Mr.. Sewell of New Jersey also
urged speedy action on the measure on
account of the serious embarrassment the
government was laboring under in pre-
pairing for the return of the volunteers
from the Philippines.
The principal speeches against the bill
were made by Mr.. Berry of Arkansas,
Mr.. Bacon of Georgia and Mr.. Teller Of
Colorado. Mr.. Warren of Wyoming de-
livered an extended argument in support
of the bill. During the speech Of Mr..
Bacon a colloQuy between him and Mr..
Hanna OF Ohio as to the issues in the
November elections created much inter-
est Mr.. Racon's amendment striking
out Of the bill the discretionary authori-
ty conferred upon the president to in
crease the size of the army was laid on
the table by the decisive vote of 30 to 20.
The house spent another day on the
river and harbor bill without completing
it. Twenty-six pages were disposed Of.
The friends Of the Bill successfully re-
sisted all attempts to load down the bill
with new projects, and only one or two
unimportapt amendments were adopted.
The western members labored unsuccess-
fully to secure an entering wedge for
their pet scheme for the reclamation OF
the arid lands, but received only very
