RIDDLED HIM WITH BULLETS
An Iowa Man MOrtalIy Wounds Two
Men and Is Himself Shot and
Killed by u Posse.

Keokuk, Ia, Dec. 20.-City Marshal
r. w. Coulter and Justice A. E. Mus
grave were fatally wounded, Friday
night, at Pennington, Ia, by George
!Stillwell, a deputy fish commissioner,
who afterwards was shot and killed
by a posse. Coulter attempted to ar
rest Stillwell on a warrant charging
him with disturbing the peace. Still
well shot Coulter in the stomach and
in the shoulder. Stillwell then ran
up the street and shot Musgrave in
the head, because, it is said, the JUS
tice had recently sent him to Jail for
IS days on a charge of disorderly
conduct. Stillwell then went home,
reloaded his revolver, took a rifle and
started across the country with a
posse of armed citizens in pursuit.
When the posse overlook the fugitive
he took a position behind a tree and
held the citizens at bay for nearly
an hour. Stillwell was wounded sew
eral times and dropped to his knee,
but continued to shoot until a bullet
stuck in the barrel of his rife. The
posse closed in on Stillwell, riddling
him with bullets. None of the posse
was hit.

WILL REQUIRE INVESTIGATION
A Louisville Man Who Carried $780,
900 Insurance IN His Life Found
Dead from Gunshot

Louisville, KY, Dec. 19.-It has de-
veIoped that r. G. Whayne, a Louis
Vile business man who was found
dead Wednesday night in the vicinity
of Jacob park, with a gunshot
wound in the breast, carried insur-.
ance ON his life Of $4,000, and had
applications pending for $4,000 more.
Mr.. Whayne had applied for a pol
Icy of $25, 1000 with the Manhattan
company, and the policy was to issue
December %. Another application
had been made to the Mutual of YER
mont for an equal amount, and this
policy was to be dated December "a.
1t was upon the fact that Mr.. Whayne
carried such a large life insurance
and was said to be suffering from
rheumatism that a theory of suicide
is based. Coroner Kelly went to the
place of death Thursday morning. He
said the circumstances were such
that the case would require exhaust
i've investigation. An inquest will be
held Saturday next.

CARNEGIE NOT A SANTA CLAUS.
Denial of the story that He Made
His Daughter "A Christmas Gift
of His New .Mansio ON.

New York, Dec. 1o.-The Evening
Post prints the following: "In our
real estate columns, in our reference
to the sale by Mr.. Carnegie to Mr..
Burden of certain lots in the high
lands of Fifth avenue, we spoke of
Mr.. ~Carnegie's house, which is to be a
Christmas gift to his daughter. This
item has been printed before and we
took it to be an undisputed fact. We
now learn that it has no foundation
whatever, and that nothing could be
less in harmony with the ideas of Mr..
and Mrs. Carnegie than that their
daughter should now, or ever, be bur-
dened with great wealth. Least of
all is she to be taught while in youth
that she has great expectations nor
expectations at all beyond a moderate
competence. Neither of her parents
deems great wealth a desirable pos
session for the morning of life, or for
any part of life, except as it may be
employed for the Advancement of the
human race

LAID IT ALL TO THE lamb
Novel Defense Set Up in a Damage
Suit for Injuries Received in
a Slaughter House.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 20.-Willis
Jones, a butcher, filed suit in the
common pleas court in Kansas City,
Kas., recently to recover $1,000 from
the Armour Packing Co. for personal
injuries.
Last September Jones started to
butcher a lamb, which was strung up
by it's heels. The dying animal kicked
the knife in the butchers hand, with
the result that the right hand was
badly cut. The attorneys for the Ar
0 company have filed this answer
to Jones' petition:
eff the plaintiff received any in
juries at the time and place stated in
his petition, said injuries were caused
by the carelessness and negligence of
the lamb, which the plaintiff and his
fellow-workmen had, without it's con-
sent, suspended by it's hind legs, and
made an incision across it's throat,
and whose front legs the plaintiff was
cutting, carving and mutilating while
it was yet alive; and instead of quiet
ly submitting to such treatment and
dying a lamblike death, as it should
have done, wantonly and willfully
struggled and negligently kicked,
striking the plaintiffs hand and the
knife held therein, thereby %inficting
said injuries"

HOMICIDE IN ST. LOUIS,
Thompson Morton Stabs JOhn w.
Barri&er, Jr., to Death and then
Attempts Suicide by Poison.

ST. Louis, Dec. 20.-John w. Barrl-
ger, Jr., office engineer of the st.
Louis, Memphis & Southeastern Rail-
way Co., at Claraville, Mo-, with head
quarters in ST. Louis, was stabbed to
death, Friday morning, by Thompson
Morton, an unemployed civil engi-
neer, in the corridor on the fifth floor
of the Granite building, southwest
corner of Fourth and Market streets.
Morton, shortly after his arrest,
was found to be suffering from BIZ
chloride of mercury poisoning, and
was taken to the city ~dispensary for
treatment. His recovery is a matter
of question.
The fact that Morton took poison
before he was searched at the Chest
nut street police station, and that he
was captured in the corridor imme-
diately after the killing, indicate that
he went to the scene of the assault
with the poison upon his person, to
use in committing suicide.
Morton has refused to name any
motive for the killing of Barriger.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF CUBA.
The British Minister at Havana Makes q
Significant Report to His
Government, EE

Washington, Dec. 20.-A striking
picture Of the development of Cuba
since the Spanish war is presented in
a report to his home government by
Lionel Garden, the British minister
At Havana, a copy of which has just
reached Washington. The minister
says: !.
1T is highly satisfactory to note
the remarkable progress the island
has made in the past three years, in
spite of the deplorable condition in
which it was left at the end of the
war. The production of sugar has
risen from 1916, 900 tons in 1899 to over
100000 tons in 1901, and probably will
reach 1000, 900 tons in this years
crop. The cultivation and manufac-
ture Of tobacco, as well as the minor
industries, show considerable i'm
provement; the stock of cattle on the
island, thanks to large importations,
as compared with less than 200 1000 at
the beginning of 1899; and finally, the
value of the exports has increased
from G9,260,000 to L., 100000, and
would have reached much higher fig
ures but for the fall in price of sugar.
considering how little financial as
sistance the Cubans have received
from abroad, it speaks very highly
for their energy and industry that
they should have achieved so much
in so short a time, and with so linn
tied at their command, and
affords strong ground for believing
that the work of developing the ISL
and's industries anew, commenced
under such difficulties, will be perse-
vered in"
All through the minister's report
treating of the details of each branch
of commerce he points out to his
c~ountrymen the ever-growing compe-
tition of the United States. The re-
port is full of advice to English
traders as to the best means of meet
ing this competition and of holding
the ground in Cuban trade which is
being taken rapidly from them by
the United States.

IMPERIAL AMNESTY GRANTED.
Banished Russian Students May Re-
turn From Siberia Under
Certain Restric tiOns.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 20.-The ear
has granted amnesty to the students
who were banished for rioting on his
nameday. He telegraphed to the min
lister of the interior as follows:
LET the students who were ban
ished for creating disturbances re-
turn from Siberia, although they
should not for the present be allowed
to live in towns where there are
high schools. Care must nevertheless
be taken that the young men, on
their return, be intrusted to the keep
ing of their families, as such sur
roundings will familiarize them with
order"
The telegram, which is equivalent
to an imperial decree, pardons SO
students eXiled to Siberia, in addi-
ton to the 90 students previously par
doned.

MAKES A STATEMENT.
TIL &8slayer of Fitzgerald, In Guate-
1fnln, Claims He Was Assaulted
and Acted In Self-Defense.

New York, Dec. 20.-A cop of
the statement made before the court
of third instance in Guatemala, by w.
G.. Hunter, Jr., son of the United
States minister 70 Guatemala, regard
ing the shooting of William A. Fitz-
gerald, has been received here.
Hunter says: IT left the legation
of the United States on the afternoon
of Thursday, November 30, 1902, in
company with Hon. James u Bailey,
secretary of legation, for my accus-
toned daily walk, and upon reaching
the Plaza de Armas, as usual, at
about five o'clock. we took a seat to-
gether. We had been seated there
but a few minutes, when Fitzgerald,
whose presence was unknown TO me,
and without a word being said or
anything being done to provoke an
assault, seized me by the coat collar
with his left hand and with his right
struck a severe blow under the left
eye, which drew the blood, and while
thus holding me firmly down on the
seat, drew a revolver, which he
snapped two or three times in my
face. Recovering from the shock of
this assault, I at one sprang with
superhuman effort to my feet, thrust
him from me, drew my revolver and
shot the would-be assassin dead in
self-defense, firing five shots, the con-
tents of my weapon, in so doing. I'm
mediately after the tragedy 1 walked
the scene of the occurrence and sur
rendered to the local authorities"
Mr.. Bailey made a statement con-
firming that of Mr.. Hunter.

OPERATION BY DR.. LORENZ.
The Eminent Surgeon Reduces a
Club Foot for a FOur-Year-
Old New York Girl.

New York, Dec. 19.-Dr. Lorenz, has,
for the first time since his arrival in
New York, operated on a club foot.
The patient was a four-year-old girl.
DR.. Lorenz kneaded and twisted the
crippled foot until it was as soft and
pliable as a piece of putty. Then he
deity moulded it into it's proper
form, and announced that the opera
ton was completed, and a plaster cast
fitted on the foot. The doctor
said that the child should be allowed
to use her foot as much as she could,
after four or five days, and that it
would be necessary to keep the cast
on for six or seven months, after
which she could walk.

A Newspaper Complains of Ameri-
can Criticism.
Berlin, Dec. 20.-A semi-official
statement in the Nord Deutsche-AIl.
gemeine Zeitung says:
"A local paper has published a ca
blegram from New York saying:
The greatest excitement prevails
here. The entire press holds Germany
to be responsible for the present stu
alton. Germany is attacked in hos
tile articles, while Great Britain is
praised. The newspapers insist thai
Germany intends to acquire colonies
in Venezuela and Brazil We have
noticed similar kilograms in English
papers," says the Nord Deutsch All
gemeine Zeitung, land if these state
ments are representative of the feel
ing in the United States with even APP
proXimate correctness, we would
have sincerely to deplore that the
American press shows itself %accessi-
BILE to wholly unfounded suspicious
of the German Policy. The gov
eminent of the United States long
ago was c~ategorically informed that
Germany is seeking nothing in Vene-
zuela beyond satisfaction for just
claims and compensation. The An
glo-German cooperation is based up
on the similarity of the interests af-
fected, and only wilful prejudice
could detect a difference in the pro-
ceedings of the two countries. The
course of events will demonstrate
that the intentions Of the German
government are free from adventur-
OrS motives"

MAKING HASTE SLOWLY.
Secretary Hay Receives Partial Re,
sponses From Great Britain,
Germany and Italy.
ARBITRATION LOOKED ON FAVORABLY.
ihere Are, However, So Many Nice
POINTS to be Adjusted as n Pre-
ifminary, hat Progress In the
Matter Promises to be Danger
OusIy Slow.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-The official
day closed without further develop
ments here respecting the Venezuelan
complications. The status Of the ar
bitration proposition, on which every
waits, was, that with a willing
ness to accept such a solution in prin-
ciple, no one of the allies was ready
TO submit ~unreservedly to arbitra-
tlon; In each case there were eser-
vations or conditions insisted upon.
Respecting the method of arbitration,
III IL should come to thai form of ad-
Justment, it is noted that the feeling
Is growing that The Hague tribunal
Should undertake the case.
Mr.. Bowen, it is reported, wishes
to come to Washington in order per-
sonally to effect an adjustment with
the resident ambassadors of the al
hes, but while the state department
makes no statement upon the point,
1T is believed that it does not regard
RN"h Win ldNol. IL ID polhtCd
out here, in connection with the prof
ect to refer the matter to The Hague
tribunal, that in some phases the dis
putes Will not admit of arbitration.
Such is the case, for instance, where
attacks on British and German sub
Jects and the German legation at
Caracas, and arrests of consular Off
GERS, have made the Venezuelan of
Tense equivalent to attacks on the ma
tlonal honor of the allies, and as such
to be atoned for only by an ample
apology. The Hague tribunal could
not arbitrate such issues, but 1T is
pointed out at the state department
that the claims are Invisible. and that
If President Castro chooses to tender
the necessary apologies the remain
Ing questions can properly go to The
Hague. 1t is believed hat the United
States government inclines to the
view that there is a disposition to in
sist needlessly o guarantees for the
payment by Venezuela of any judg-
ment hat might be rendered against
her by the arbitration. 1t believes
that the force of enlightened public
opinion would absolutely insure a set
tlement of any judgment rendered by
the august tribunal, and that Presi-
dent Castro would not be sustained
by a single American country in de-
faulting.

THE NAVAL PROGRAMME.
Admiral Dewey's Christmas Holt
day Itinerary for His Fleet
Sent to Washington.
IT IS APPROVED BY SECRETARY MOODY.
The Approval, CabIed to the Adj
mlral, Sets mt Rest All stories of
to Send q Large Naval
Force Into the Waters Of vene-
EueIa.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The navy de-
partment contributed the most i'm
portant developments in the Venezue-
Ian situation over night in the form
of a cablegram from Admiral Dewey
announcing the proposed itinerary of
the vessels of his fleet during the
Christmas holidays. 1t is clearly seen
that the plan provides for no undue
concentration of ships along the Ven
ezuelan coast, and SO %prudently and
advisedly have it's details been drawn
up that Secretary Moody at once ca
bled the admiral the departments ap-
proval of his orders. This message
will set at rest the rumors that the
United States contemplates complicat-
ing the situation by dispatching a
large force to La Guayra as an offset
to the allied fleet.
Admiral Dewey's cablegram, dated
San Juan, December IA, is to this eff
feet:
Proposed itinerary of vessels for
Christmas holidays: Kearsarge, Ala
bama, Massachusetts, Iowa, Scorpion,
Trinidad, Illinois, Indiana, Hist, to st.
Thomas; Texas, to Pointe-a-Petrie;
Chicago, Newark, Eagle to Curacao;
San Francisco, Albany, Wasp,to Maya
guez; Cincinnati, Atlanta, Prairie,
tugs and torpedo boats, to San Juan;
Culgoa, to Mayaguez and San Juan;
Olympia, Nashville and Machias, to St.
Kits; Detroit, to antigua; Mayfower
and Vixen, to Porto Rican waters and
vicinity, and Dolphin to Antigua and
vicinity"
In reply Secretary Moody sent tie
following:
