the most mysterious murders in the
city's history was committed tonight in

neighborhood and the carousal ended
in quarrel this afternoon, which was
renewed tonight when the couple met on
High street. The woman went into the
hotel bar and took a seat In the rear
room. The man followed her and ask
ed her If she would keep up the bluff"
This question was repeated three times,
and each time answered in the mega

Quick as a flash the man pulled. a
dirk and made a lunge at the woman,
cutting her under the ear A second
slash severed the jugular. Then the
murderer stepped out side door and

THEIR PREMIERs ExERTING
Themselves FOR THE IRISH
Sir Wilfred Resents the Interference Of
the Colonial Secretary and Assures
Him Where His Sympathes Lie,
While Mr.. Barton Also Leaves No
Room for Doubt as to His Attitude.

Special Cable to The Globe.
LONDON, July 23.-England's great
est elf-governing colonies, through
their premiers now assembled in Lon
don, have given British imperialism
somewhat of a shock by championing
the cause of home rule in Ireland
There is good authority for stating
that Sir Wilfred Laurier and Edmond
Barton, premier of Australia, are bring
ing their influence to bear on the i'm
perfal authorities in the direction Of
securing to Ireland some measure Of
that independence enjoyed by Canada,
Australia and other detached domfn-
ions of the crown.
This declaration of the attitude Of
the colonial premiers was forced by
Mr.. Chamberlain, who, soon after the
arrival of Sir Wilfred Laurier in Eng
land, took him to task for having at
tended meetings in Ottawa, at which
the Irish delegates spoke in favor Of
home rule. The colonial secretary stat
ed that he viewed with chargrin this
open support of Irish malcontents
Sir Wilfred resented this interfer-
ence warmly, and assured Mr.. Cham
berlain where his sympathies lay and
his determination to manifest them in
his own fashion.
Then the secretary began to lecture
Mr.. Barton for having presided at a
home rule meeting in Sydney, at which
Cardinal Moran denounced the Boer
war and expressed his disappointment
that Australians and Irish7nen had not
gone to fight for the freedom of their
oppressed countrymen instead Of help
ing to throttle the republics of South
Africa. Mr.. Barton was equally un-
willing to accept the secretary's views
and left him in no doubt of his position
with regard to Irish ambitions.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 23.-In Judge
Sideness' police court today DR.. S. L.
Gettys, West end physician, who was
arrested for swearing at a telephone
operator, was fined SIS and costs for
disturbing the peace" The Judge de-
cided three interesting points:
First-That profanity has no sufi-
cient provocative.
Second-That it Us always aggres-
sive, never protective and, therefore,
never excusabIeson the plea of self-de-
fenSe. EA
Third-That the working principles
of law have not been invalidated by
modern invention. That crimes of Of
fenses committed at long distance, such
as the hurting of oaths at a person
over the telephone. are amenable to
the law in the jurisdiction inwhich the
offense was committed.
DR.. Gettys declared that he "cussed''
the service, not the operator, and
pleaded that he, therefore, did not dis
turb the operators peace.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
FILES A DISCLAIM
Denial That He Will Make Political
Speeches in His Autumn
Tour. 457i

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July "a
President Roosevelt is displeased
somewhat by misinterpretation of his
motives in accepting invitations to
meet and speak to the people of several
sections of the country this fall. 1t
has been announced in some places
that Mr.. Roosevelt is to make a cam
paign, particularly in New York, with
the idea of offsetting any aggressive
opposition TO his political views.
1t can be said that he has no such
intention. Such invitations to speak
as he has accepted have come from
people representing all shades Of po-
litical opinion. While his addresses
will be along Republican lines, so far
as they may relate to politics, they will
not be political speeches.

KRUGER IMPOLITE
TO CECIL RHODES
New Explanation of the Cause of the
War in South
Africa.

BERLIN, July 23-B. o. Kellner,
mayor of Bloemfontein, has arrived in
Berlin. In conversation Mayor Kell-
ner said he attributed the war in South
Af-ica to a trivial incident, namely,
the impoliteness shown by President
Kruger to the late Cecil Rhodes during
their last interview, which took place
on the street in Pretoria, where Mr..
Rhodes had arrived to carry on ne
gotiations with Mr.. Kruger.
Before Mr.. Rhodes could state fully
the object of his visit, according to
Mayor Kellner, Mr.. Krueger, who had
Bible under his arm, growled: II
must go to church." and broke off the
interview abruptly, leaving Mr.. Rhodes
standing in the street.
That was the last time Mr.. Rhodes
saw President Kruger and he left Pre-
toria convinced that the old man was
impracticable.

ILLINOIS GIVES LARGEST
STRIKE CONTRIBUTION
Fifty Thousand Dollars for the illinois
Organization to Help
Coal Miners.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 23.-Sec-
retary Wilson, of the United Mine
workers, today received check for
$50,000 for the strike fund from the
Illinois organization. This was for
warded by him Immediately to the
Anthracite field. The Illinois miners
have within four weeks given the ma
tional organization 100000 for strike
funds and still have nearly a half mill
lion in reserve.
This donation, it is said, is the larg-
est ever received for a strike. Wilson
has received notice from individuals Of
checks for as much as $1,000 that are
now on their way to headquarters, in
dicating that the appeal to the public
for funds has been effective. Secretary
Wilson says no attempt will be made
to pay the Anthracite strikers stipu-
lated sums of money weekly.
"Our intention" said he, as not to
pay regular benefits, but merely to take
care Of the strikers and their families"
1t is believed that the miners will
not attempt to keep bituminous coal
men out Of the Anthracite markets, ex-
cept as a last resort.
The total donations received today
were $58,O00. Word was received at
headquarters from President Samuel
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, that the executive council Of
that organization which is in session at
San Francisco has indorsed the appeal
of the wine workers for financial aid
This will have the effect Of bringing in
additional contributions, it is thought.
The check of the Illinois men for $780,
600 was forwarded today by Secretary
Wilson to the anthracite fields

LONDON, July 23.-Robert William

today that the Methodists had secured
the Royal Aquarium theater property,

to be called the Central Headquarters

paid was $4,000. The ground COM
prises 21a acres, and on it also stands
Mrs. Langtry's Imperial theater.
1t is probable that some arrange
ment will be made by which the I'm
perial theater will remain where it
is, though it may be transformed into
an annex of the church house, the
building of which is expected to COM
mence early in 1903. Since t was

BERLIN, July 23.-Court Chamber
Lain Won Morawski, a Polish landed
magnate, has appealed to Emperor
William not to visit Posen during the
army maneuvers to be held in Septem-
Der as his majesty has planned to do.
The chamberlain fears that some
Polish fanatic might attempt to harm
the emperor. Racial feeling is describ-
ed as at fever heat and several Berlin
Journals take the view that it would
be unwise for The emperor to expose
himself unnecessarily.
The Post conservative saws it is
Informed that it would greatly relieve
those responsible for his majesty's
safety to learn that he had given UP
the trip. Prominent Germans residing
in PoSen are glad that the Polish Off
Gals and nobility have determined to
attend the festivities, as thereby the
chanceS of unpleasant incidents aris-
ing are lessened.

Uppermost Question.
The Polish question is regarded as
the most pregnant in the governments
domestic policy. While no observer be-
heves the Polish agitation can really
amount to much ultimately, it is en-
barrassing the relations with Austria
and Russia. The Poles in Galicia en-
joy local self government and press
privileges which are not in vogue in
Prussian Poland, and continual con-
trastS are made in the Austrian press
between conditions existing in Galicia
and In the province of Posen that an
noy this government and tend to
weaken the triple alliance.
Indications are not wanting that
Russia is disposed to utilize the Polish
passion by giving greater freedom to
the Russian Poles, thus creating along
the Russian frontier Prussian popu-
lation in sympathy with Russia. Count
Won Buelow, the German imperial
chancellor, is well aware of the dis
agreeable features of the Polish agita-
ton and it is quite likely he will de-
wise measures to quiet the extreme vio-
lence of the Polish feeling.
