ONLY ONE DlSC0RDANT NOTE.

The only discordant noto from tho
press or tho people of South Carolina in
this hour of deop distress of tho Presi-
dent and tho American people as we'll,
was that uttered by the editor OF The
State newspaper of Columbia the next
morning after tho tragedy, whom it was
thought tho wounds would prove fatal.
But whom it is recalled that his hand is
against every man, and no one, good or
bad, escapes his harsh criticism, sooner
or later, it is not surprising to behold
the trail Of his spiteful winding, even
within tho sacred precincts of the cham
Dor of death.

rector General w. l. Buchanan started
for tho Milburn residence to forostall
any information that might reach thero

he was first to arrive with tho informa

Mrs. Mckinley and. on returning to tho
Milburn residence, she took leave of hor
nieces, tho Misses Barber, and tho Presi-
dent's niece, Miss Duncan, as woll as
their hostess, Mrs. Milburn, and won't to

Mr.. Buchanan broke tho nows rs

Immediately on Mr.. Buchanans arri-
val at tho Milburn homo ho had tclo-

and he decided on this rs tho wsost
course to pursue, lest Mrs. Mckinley,
hearing tho continual ringing of tho

While tho light of day remained Mrs.
Mckinley continued with her crocheting,
keeping to hor room. When it became

sho asked ono of hor niecos
There was no clock in Mrs. McKinloy's

who was shot at early ia the morning

the attempt being attributed to de-
sire for revenge, growing ont Of the

Owing to the indefniteness Of the ru-

Now however, the correspondent has
received a private letter from usu-

New York, March 30.-Dun's weekly
review of trade says:
The condition of general business Is in
most respects satisfactory. The dry goods
trade, and particularly the cotton division,
Is gloomy, with further reductions In prices
of staple goods this week and demand fail
ing to increase with the shading of quota
tions; but from every other department OF
business reports are cheerful and the out
look for a good spring retail turnover Is
encouraging. There is little difficulty over
collections in any direction and the mer-
camille demand for money from numerous
quarters is proof of the confidence felt
among manufacturers and jobbers. The
labor situation is more tranquil. Mining
differences In the soft coal region are set
tied and sober counsels seem 70 have pre-
vailed among anthracite miners.
Aside from the expected advance ir
structural shapes there is comparative
steadiness In iron and steel.
That bottom prices for wool have beer
reached at last Is evidenced by the grow
ing unwillingness OF holders to make con
cessions, the greater activity Of dealers ant
indications that purchases for speculation
are Of considerable volume. Efforts to Sc

JONES KILLED RICE.
SECRETARY TELLS HOW MILLIONAIRE
WAS CHOLOROFORMED.

Witness Declares That the Millionaire
Once--Checks and Will Were Forged
After Rice's Death.
New York, April 3.-Without the
slightest quaver in his well modulated
voice and displaying no outward sign
of regret or remorse, Charles f. Jones'
secretary and valet to the late Will
lam Marsh Rice. yesterday confessed
under oath that he had ended the life
of his employer and benefactor with
chloroform.
The confession was the climax OF
remarkable recital in which was laid
bare the details of an alleged subtle
conspiracy, which had for it's object
the seizure of $3,000,000 in cash and
negotiable securities and the CONVEX
sion of $3,OOO,OOO in realty to the uses
of the alleged chief conspirator, AL
bert Z. Patrick.
1t was Patrick, he said, who con-
ceived the idea of forging will and
forging transfers and conveyances. 1t
was Patrick who induced two persons
| to witness the forged signature. 1t
was Patrick who determined that Rice
| should die and it was Patrick who
sought to have him killed slowly, and
then, becoming impatient determined
upon quick action. And, according to
Jones, remarkable as it may seem,
Rice never knew Patrick during his
life time and never saw him but
|
the day of Rice's death
death he told Patrick that Rice seemed
to be better. According to the wit
ness Patrick then gave him bottle
of chloroform, told him to saturate a
towel with it and to place the towel
over Rice's face for about 80 minutes
Continuing. Jones said: II did as
Patrick told me and left Mr.. Rice's
room for about half an hour. Then
l sent for DR.. Curry. When DR.. Curry
came Patrick said My God, doctor
that is the worst thing that could
have happened to me-"
Jones testified that the checks fol
$4,000 and $135,OOO respectively on
Swenson & Sons and the Fifth Avenue
Trust company We're made out after
Rice's death.
Patrick, accused by the witness OF
being the arch criminal, listened to the
with attention and occasionally made
notes. Not even the remarkable wit
ness on the stand was more cool, cain
and collected than this remarkabl
prisoner Patrick's hand was stead,
and firm. He displayed neither anger
, fear nor resentment. When Jone
reached the description of the murde
of the sleeping man. Patrick merel,
stroked his beard and leaned bacl
in his chair. apparently slightly bore,

the matter the mayor gave out the
following: The statement that I

public places closed in Des Moines on
account of smallpox, which has been
widely published. is absolutely without
truth. There are several cases of
smallpox in Des Moines. as there are
all over the country, but the epidemic
is in no sense dangerous, nor the
average number of cases so large as
prevails generally"
