Its A WOMAN.
Words Which Mrs. Dennis Has
Been Heard to Mutter.

Washington. Dec. 11.-Mrs. Ada Gill
bert Dennis the fashionable dreSSmaker
found mysteriously assaulted in her
apartments yesterday morning is hover
ing between life and death today. She
showed some Improvement this morning
but the chance for recovery is very
slight. It's a woman" It's in a book
and IN tell you all about it, are the
only coherent words that the detectives
sitting by her side have been able to
distinguish. These were spoken when
she apparently realized what she said.
The detectives are not yet ready to an
nounce a motive for the crime. William
H Johns of Gettysburg, Pa, a nephew
of the victim, arrived today and after
being admitted to the sick room, went
to police headquarters, leaving there
subsequently with a detective. The
hospital attendants are keeping the pa
tient very quiet and hope she may be
able to give some information by to-
morrow.
A small old fashioned hatchet which
probably has been used by the family
for many years was found by detectives
today in a closet in the room of the
elder Mrs. Dennis, mother-in-law of the
injured woman. This room is in the
rear part of the second floor There
were indications of rust and other
stains on both the handle and blade. and
these are being chemically analyzed.

AN EDITOR SHOT.
Accuses His Assailant of Being an
Anarchist.

New York Dec. 11.-Francis Iveagh,
editorial writer on an afternoon pa
per, was shot early this morning by
Alexander HoOr, a bOokbinder and
printer. He is in Bellvue hospital in
critical condition. The wounded man
m ade a statement to the coroner and
Hoor was taken to the hospital to be
identified by Iveagh. According to the
police, Iveagh said to Hoor:
You are the man who shot me. You
are an anarchist and a publisher of
anarchist literature"
Iveagh rented a room for himself,
his wife and their 4-year-old son from
EIoor about a month ago. The rent
had been paid up until today and yes
tended to move. Conflicting stories are
told as to the causes of the shooting
but it seems to have followed an at
tempt by Iveagh to enter his room after
he had been locked out by Hoor.

SMALLPOX DISTRICT.
Sanitary Sergeant Says One Exists in
Topeka.

At the meeting of the board of health
last night, Sanitary Sergeant Wander
pool proposed a conundruIn for the doc
tors to solve Mr.. Vanderpooi has fig
ured out from his records that Topeka
has a smallpox district" and he wants
the doctors to find out why this condi-
ton exists.
The smallpox district of Topeka is
bounded by Chestnut street on the west.
Lafayette street on the east, Third
street on the north and Seventh street
on the south-an area of Sc blocks. ly-
ing just east of the Santa F'e tracks.
and taking in the larger portion of
Parkdale.
Out of 13 cases of smallpox reported
to the board since November 1, eight
have been in this supposedly infected
district OF the remaining five cases.
three are known to have been import
ed cases. and the other two were out
side of the city limits
Il have no suggestion to offer as to
why this infected district exists, said
Mr.. Vanderpool 'I leave all that to the
doctorS.
There is no sewer in the so-called dis
trict, but it is not likely that this is the
cause of the epidemic, because there are
other portions of the city not provided
with sewer which have not had a single
case of smallpox since the disease COM
menced to appear in Topeka.

MORE WARLIKE.
The Argentine Government Is
Becoming Nervous
Over the Belligerent Attitude
Assumed by Chile.
PETITIONS COMING IN
Urging the Presentation of a
Stiff Front in the Matter.
British Residents Will Organ
ize Two Cavalry Regiments.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Argentine
government is getting nervous at the
unjustifiable delay over the warlike
policy pursued by Chile. If Chile per-
sists in this attitude, Argentina will re-
call her minister at Santiago, says the
correspondent of the Herald at Buenos
Ayres
The commander of the Argentine
cruiser, DeMayo, has reported that he
has concluded the investigation, which
the government directed him to take,
to ascertain whether the Gillian alleS-
alton that Argentine authorities invaded
Ultima Esperdnza is true. Inhabl-
never saw any invasion. The Chlllan
allegations are declared to be without
foundation The government is con-
tlnuously receiving petitions from ali
parts Of the republic urging it not to
yield to the Gillian pretensiOnS.
A group of British residents met and
ments of cavalry and offer them to the
AFgentine government n case OF a war var
ing a volunteer force.
A member of the cabinet declared that
Ghgo nestio5 w Is 6e setted and
but that Argentina was determined to act
energetically and firmly.
A panic prevailed on the exchange on
account of the rumor that the government
was about to rescind the law creating
the conversion fund, but the report was
without foundation.
WAR FEVER ENCOURAGED.
New York, Dec. 11.-According to the
Valparaiso, Chilli, correspondent of the
Herald, the conferences between the
Chilian secretary for foreign affairs,
Senor Yanez, and the Argentine minis
ter, Senor Portela, over the pending
dispute, were fruitlesS.
The war fever. which is ardently en-
couraged by the Argentine press, and
which is instigated by Peruvian and
Bolivian diplomacy, is assuming an
ominous character, owing to the alarm
ing news from Buenas Ayres.
There was a panic in the chamber of
commerce.
Upon being interpel1ated in the secret
session of the senate, Secretary Yanez
declared that after ascertaining that
Argetina, was purchasing warships,
Chilli decided to buy several, to be pre-
pared for emergencies. The press and
public here are remaining calm how
ever No fanfaronadeS are heard.
A great popular demonstration in
honor of Colombia and Mexico is being
DreDared.

members of the committee agreed upon
yesterday. The report will be made
Friday and the bill will be considered

failure of the minority committee to
ask for division and vote on the queS-
ton Of reporting the bill. In the abb
sence of such request no vote was
corded 1t was stated however, that a
minority report would be presented by
the Democratic members opposing the
bill on general grounds, although it is
doubtful whether Representative Rob-
ertson Ga.) will sign the report

had been, by the senate amendments.

obstruct the ratification of the new
treaty

st. Joseph, Dec. ia special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
Senator Cockrell will today introduce
in the senate a bill authorizing the
construction OF another bridge across
the Missouri river at st. Joseph. The

1t is estimated that the bridge will
cost in the neighborhood of one mil

cause for the building of a new struc-

river over the ST. Joseph and Grand

new structure will give the Rock Island

LANDSLIDE IN BOSTON.
Democrats Carry the City by
Majority of 10000.

Boston, Dec. 1.-THE Democrats COM
pletely overwhelmed the Republicans in
the city elections General Patrick A.
Collins being elected mayor over Mayor
Thomas n. Hart by the largest plurality
in a quarter of century The Demo-
Gratis likewise obtained control of both
branches of the city government, elect
ed their street commissioner, Salem ID.
Charles. and practically all their candi-
dates for the school commission. AS
usual the city voted strongly in favor
of license.
The result of the canvass was fully
as much a surprise to the Democrats
as to their opponents. The most san
guine Democratic prophet last night
claimed only 1000, yet this plurality was
nearly tripled. Two years ago Mayor
Hart defeated General Collins by 2,2S1
votes, and polled something over 10000.
This year the total Republican vote for
mayor was a trifie over $4,000, the
smallest given party candidate for
mayor since 1893. despite registration
almost so per cent. larger than them
Yet General Collins received over ST.
900 votes, the largest in the history or
the city, and he carried eighteen of the
twenty-five wards.
The Republican leaders were inclined
to blame the weather, but this does not
account for the tremendous gains made
by the Democrats in Republican wards
Republicans throughout Massachu-
setts We're quite as successful in the
eighteen city elections held as they were
in the fourteen held last week, for al
though they carried eleven to the
Democrats four, the other three being
non-partisan contests, three Republican
mayors were defeated, while the party
suffered almost a rout in this city. In
Worcester, Mayor O'ConnelI. a Demo-
crat was defeated. In Woburn, Mayor
Feeney defeated the present mayor. and
the city changed from no license to
license In Chelsea where the Repub-
licans swept the city there was change
from no license to license for the first
timeSin eleven years. In Newburyport,
where license mas had a firm hold for
twenty years, the city voted no by over
800 majority.
One of the stubborn contests was in
Salem where Mayor Huellis' admins
tration was indorsed by the vote.
The majority against license was re-
duced from 558 last year to IS this year
There was likewise a warm contest in
Cambridge. The Democrats succeeded
there in selecting John II. McNamee
over Mayor Dickinson.
