A TERRIBLE SUICIDE.
and Calmly Waits for Death
In Flames.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. ga special to
the News from Manistee, Mich, says:
Sitting in an upright position, in one
corner of the barn in the rear of her
residence, Mrs. Mary Bumpke, aged
62 years, calmly awaited death by a
fire which was apparently set by her
own hand. When William Bumpke was
awakened by neighbors, who discov-
cred the barn afire, it was to find that
his wife, who had retired with him la te;
at night, was missing. No great
anxiety was felt until after the flames
had been subdued, when the headless
and legless trunk of the woman was
found sitting upright in one corner of
the ruins. She had been in poor health
for some time.

when he took the oath of office. 'sThat
simple declaration" said Senator
Scott, Immediately restored conf
dence in the business world.' To the
Minnesota representatives the presi-
dent recalled the fact that it was in
their state that he had made his last
public utterance as vice president and
that in that confession of faith" as
he characterized it, he committed him
self to the policy of Mckinley, to which
he pledged his adherence upon assum-
ing the responsibilities of his Office at
Buffalo.
Southern Representative Pleased.
Representative Livingstone, of Geor-
gia, was especially pleased with his
reception. The Georgia representa-
tive had congratulated the president,
had expressed the hope that his adj
ministration would be success and
had informed him that as southern
man and a Georgian he would contrib
ute everything in his power to that
end. The president replied that it
would be his aim to be the president
of the whole people without regard to
geographical lines or class distinc-
tions, that it was the welfare of all
which he should seek to promote.

Nearly Lynched.

Leadville, Col, Sept. 23.-An italian
miner at the Elk mine remarked that
all kings and presidents should be
killed, and that it was the right thing
to kill Mckinley. Three hundred
miners gathered at the shaft house,

placed a rope around his neck and
started for railroad trestle. On the
advice of some of the crowd the mans
life was spared, but he was badly

Significant Utterance Of President
81 France Regarding Franco
Russian Alliance.
ARE PlEDeED TO auuAnE SETTLEMENTS


Betheny, France, Sept. 2s.-In HID
speech at the luncheon which fol-
lowed the review Saturday, President
Loubet created somewhat Of sensa-
tion by saying:
The Franco-Russian alliance is
pledged to settlements inspired by
justice and humanity
Whether rightly or otherwise, some
Of his hearers took the remark to re-
fer to affairs in South Africa.
Before the luncheon the car,
czarina and President Loubet re-
viewed 100000 troops on the Plain Of
Betheny. The march past lasted from
10:45 a. m. till 1:1O p. M, terminating
in magnificent charge Of 10000
cavalry. The spectacle was very inn
posing, as the infantry went by $50
files deep, with fixed bayonets.
Beers Are Seeking Arbitration.
The Hague, Sept. 23.-Baron Van
Lynden, the minister of foreign af-
fairs, has forwarded to the legations
and members of the council of the
court Of arbitration copy of the
Boer appeal for arbitration, with q
notification that he intends to bring
up the appeal for consideration ut
the first meeting of the council. The
date of the meeting is not fixed.
Anxious Over Reverses.
London, Sept. 23.-While Mr.. Kruger
and Dir. Leyds are drawing up petit
tions to President Roosevelt and the
car, asking them to intervene, the
fighting Beers are helping themselves
in South Africa by celebrating the ex-
piration of the period in which Lord
Kitchener proclaimed they must sur
render by four notable successes, kill
ing 6s officers and men, wounding 63
and capturing five guns and 800 men.
The situation is singularly like the
opening of the war, two years ago, the
names of the same places recurring in
the dispatches. Utrecht, where Maj.
Cough was entrapped, was the scene
Of similar ambuscade 1S months
back. Acton Homes, where the Beers
Friday reappeared, is 1S miles SOUTH
west of Ladysmith, and the Natal cole
onials are mastering for the defense
of the Tugela, as when Gen. Joubert
invaded Natal in 1899.
In Cape Colony fighting is again goo
ing on south of Stormberg, in terri
tory traversed by raiders and their
pursuers half dozen times.
The governments publication Of
these reverses causes an outburst Of
evaporation against the conduct Of
the war, not in South Africa, but by the
ministry. Thesgreat ministerial jour
mails accuse the government of trying
to run the war ION the cheap" by not
providing Lord Kitchener with sufi-
Gent resources.
The Times, while it has no misgiv.
ings as to the final issue, accuses the
home authorities of lack of organized,
sustained effort, of disposition to
postpone military for financial consii-
erations and of failure to grasp the
moral and intellectual damage which
the prolongation of the struggle in.
ficts on the empire.
