HORRIBLE CRIME
 OF A FRENCHMAN Killed His Children So as to
 Marry a Widow SENTENCED TO GUlLL0TlNE His Surviving Daughter Declared Her Father Innocent and Beseeohed
 the Court to Restore
 Him to Her.
SENTENCED TO GUlLLOTINE

Chorters. France December 23.-After weeks trial, which has attracted the at- tention of the whole of France, Brier, the farmer of this vicinity who on April q murdered four of his daughters. aged respectively IA, Il. and years, and his 7-year-old son, stabbing and beating them to death while they were in bed, was found guilty today and condemned to be decapitated by the guillotine.
 Brier persisted in declaring himself in- nocent, but the circumstantial evidence against him was overwhelming
 A pathetic incident of the trial occurred when Brier's surviving little daughter (who, the police declare, only escaped the fate of the other children by not respond ing to Brier's invitation to go to see him), went on the witness stand sob bingly protesting her father was inno- cent and begging the court to restore him to her.
 Brier at the time of the murders as- serted that two tramps entered his house during his absence and killed the chill dr en. He added that he returned while the murderers were robbing the place and that they attacked him, and after a desperate struggle left him for dead with four stabs in the head. He further al- legged that the tramps escaped with the sum of 1500 francs and number of ob- jects of value. Suspicion soon fell on Brier. It was suggested that he mur- dered his children in a fit of drunken madness, as he spent the evening of the murders in drinking and no trace of the alleged tramps was found. Besides this, Brier's wounds were only slight and the knife with which they were inflicted be- longed to his house. Finally a blood stained jacket belonging to Brier was dis covered hidden under some straw in the yard. His arrest followed.
 Another theory advanced in connection with the murders was that Brier wanted to marry widow who had rejected him on account of his large family, and he therefore sent for all his children, some of them at that time boarding with neighbors, and committed the murders, after which he invented the story of the two tramps, hoping thereby to shield himself from suspicion.

NATCHEZ KNIGHTS
 INSTITUTE SUIT
SUPREME OFFICERS OF KNIGHTS OF AMERICA ORDERED LOCAL LODGE TO SUSPEND AND LAW. SUIT FOLLOWS.

Natchez, Miss, December 9. - W. D. Cameron of Meridian, Miss, supreme pro- , tector of the Protected Knights of Amer ica. has notified the local chapter that the order must suspend business. The local chapter immediately appointed a committee to institute suit against the supreme officers, and the services of State Senator James A. Clinton have been retained for the purpose.
 The order was organized in May, 1899. and afforded fraternal insurance on poli- cies of 5000 and 5000. It's membership extended through Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and 1t is said dwindled from 7SOO to 20O0. The local lodge had $40 &C., tive members. In his letter the supreme protector says that death claims to the amount of s2O,OoO had accumulated at the time he was inducted into the office last January, and now amounted to $25,0O0.

NO REQUEST RECEIVED.
Great Britain Has Heard Nothing
 From Venezuela or Chilli.

London, December 23.-The British gov ernment is watching the progress of the dispute between the Chili and Argentine republics with considerable anxiety. A representative of the Associated Press was informed today that neither side has as yet approached the British for eign office. If both Chili and Argentine request Great Britain to arbitrate the matters in dispute between them, Lord Lansdown, the foreign secretary, will promptly acuuiesce But the state of Dr. Alcorta, the Argentine minister of foreign affairs, that Argentine has re
 ferred the matter to the arbitration of the British government under the agreement of 1898 appears to be inaccurate for the foreign office says the present conten- tion is quite beyond the powers of that commission. As the foreign office under standgsthe case, 1t is not one relative to boundary between the two countries, but whether Chili has the right to build neu- tral roads in the disputed territory. This commission, of which Lord MacNaugh- ton is president has been sitting in Lon don for nearly two years and Is now nearly ready to go and personally inspect the disputed boundaries. For various reasons, however, the departure of this commission has been delayed and Is like ly to be delayed for some time to come.
 The appeal of Dr. Alcorta has not yet been officially communicated to the Brit ish foreign office. When this appeal does reach Downing street it will meet with the foregoing answer Although Lord Lansdowne, the secretary for foreign af- fairs, holds that the MacNaughton com mission is powerless, he will intimate the willingness of Great Britain to arbitrate

 Up to late hour tonight neither coun- try concerned had requested Great Brit ain to take this action. Opinion in Down. ing street is that while the cause of the dispute is petty, serious consequences may ensue unless prompt action is taken.
 According to advices received from London February Il. 1899, the British government appointed Baron MacNaugh- ton, lord of appeal in ordinary law; Major General Sir John Charles Ardagh of military intelligence. and Colonel Thomas Hungerford Holidch superinten- dent of frontier surveys in India, a tri- buneral to arbitrate the Argentine Chilli dispute,
