Discusses the Isthmian Canal Before
Body of Students.


Before the Junior Congress Of the Column
bian Law School Saturday evening Senator
William E. Mason of Illinois gave an inter-
esting address on THE Isthmian Canal"

on the grounds of the scientist and engi-
neer. He reasserted that England had long
ago forfeited her rights under the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. and that until the signing
of the last Hay-Pauncefote treaty England
had the upper hand OF America at every
turn.
A general debate among the members of
the law school followed the address. The
measure, when put to a vote. resulted in
Ii for and p against. 1t was not party
vote, the bill having supporters and op-
ponents on both sides of the house.
Lieut. Gen Nelson A. Miles will address
the law students next Saturday evening.

BlR7HOLIH COMMITS SUICIDE.
Leaves a Letter Gonfsssing That He
Killed His Mother and Sweetheart.

Riceville, Ia, Sept. THE body
which was buried here yesterday morn
ing which was believed to be that of
William Bartholin was exhumed this
afternoon and positively identified as
that of the Chicago double murderer.
The Identification was made by Will
liam Mitchell, brother of one Of
Bartholin's victims, and Detective
Andrew Rowhan Of Chicago.
Bartholin's body was found last
Friday afternoon about six miles from
Riceville, as told in The Associated
Press dispatches last night, by j. G.
Pratt, resident of Riceville. Mr..
Pratt was driving to Elma and when
passing fax field saw the body lying
against stack OF fax. Thinking it
was man asleep, he paid no attention
but on returning be saw She man still
there and upon Investigation discov-
cred he was dead with revolver lying
by his left hand. Coroner T. S. Car
penter was notified and the body was
removed to an undertaking establish
ment at Riceville. There J. B.
McCook, editor of a Riceville paper,
discovered that the dead man bore a
striking resemblance to the published
pictures of the Chicago murderer.
The text of confession left by the
suicide, as made public by Dr.. T. S.
Carpenter, is as follows:
TO whom it may concern:
I want to state [ am the Bartholin
the police are looking for. Also want
to certify I had no assistance of any
kind from any one. Thompson, Clafey
and Counselman are all is innocent as
an unborn child and should be freed
at once.
st cannot GO into details in regard
to the crimes. They we're not planned.
It was all Minnie and I could do. Ny
mind is wandering. Such a drop in life
in short time. Two months ago l
was living in the best company; today
living the life of hoboes-a murderer.
81 intended to go into details and
tell all, but I cannot get my mind set
tied. Even nay handwriting is dis
graceful.
81 But above all things, I ask to clear
everybody from under supicion. There
is no second party I am the last.
"W. B. Bartholin. -
"The charges preferred by the police
against Clafy, Thompson and Counsel
man will be heard by the next grand
jury, which convenes one week from
Tuesday, said an attache Of the
States attorneys Office tonight. The
confession of Bartholin is not ukase
guaranteed to free everybody. The
fact that Bartholin killed three peo-
pie, including himself, will add no
great weight to this piece of written
testimony he left behind. There may
be other strong evidence involving
these three men. This evidence must
be heard wherefore the accused must
remain in jail in default of bail, I'M
less released on habeas corpus and I
hardly believe that is possible

St. Louis BoodIers Arrested.

st. Louis, Sept. s.-A sensation vas
caused today by the issuance Of bench
warrants for the arrest of 1S members
and former members OF the house Of
delegates on the confession of Delegate
j. X. Murrell, who fed to Mexico last
spring after being indicted for bribery
by the December grand jury in con-
nection with the alleged boodling ope-
rations of the municipal assembly in
relation to the granting Of street rail
road franchises. He unexpectedly re-
turned to the city through the efforts
of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and sur
rendered. Murrell is now in the Gus
tody of Circuit Attorney Folk and
will, it is stated, be granted immunity
from punishment for turning States
evidence.
j. K. Murrell made the following
statement for publication today:
81 have surrendered unconditionally
to the circuit attorney and have made
a full and free confession. I could no
longer stand the agony [ endured as a
fugitive from justice, and the wrong
done me by the parties just rs guilty
as I, who made me their catspaw.
!" I held the key Ito the box in the
Lincoln Trust Company containing the
$4,000 bribe money to go to the house
of delegates upon the passage of the
suburban bill. This money was put up
as the purchase price for the votes of
the combine, that price having been
agreed upon.
1.-the combine of the house Of dele
gates was composed Of l9 men. This
combine held frequent meetings in
the room adjoining the houes Of dele
gates chamber.
"There most Of the schemes to get
money for votes were concocted. When
the suburban matter came up before
the combine was selected to negotiate
with Philip Stock, the representative
of the suburban railway, as to the
best price we could get for our votes
upon the passage of the bill. report
ed the various negotiations to the
combine meetings, and was instructed
by the combine from time to time
what to do.
'When the price was agreed on they
designated me as the person to hold
the key to the box containing the S75,-
600, which we we're to get when the
bill was passed and signed. by the
mayor.
1.-The purpose of the combine was to
control legislation and sell legislation
for the benefit Of the combine. Short
ly before the suburban bill the COM
bine sold their votes on the lighting
bill for SAT, 500.
Es' This money was handled by Kelly,
and was paid to the members OF the
combine at meeting arranged for that
purpose at julius Lehman's house.
Each member of the combine received
8, 800.

Griggs of the Democratic congression-

New York having in tow, it. is said,
enough "boodle' to pay for all the

Rumor has it that much of this money
has been contributed by disgrhntled
Wall street fnanciers who have de-
clared hostility to the Republican
party because of the antitrust speech
es of President Roosevelt in New Eng
land and the vaccilating views of
Chairman Babcock of the Republican

question.

Last Kentucky Duel.

The death of Capt 10 Desha, at
Cvnthiana, few days ago, recalls
duel which was fought in Scott Coun-
ty soon after the close of the civil war
"a cold day in March, 1S66-in which
Capt. Desha and Lieut. Kimbrough, OF
Cynthiana, were the participants.
Capt. Desha had served in the Con-
federate army and Lieut.. Klmbroughl
was in the Federal service. The duel
was fought on the line dividing Fay
cite and Scott counties, on the james
X. Duke farm. Lieut.. Kimbrough
was the challenging party. Two shots
we're exchanged. At the second shot
Kimbrough was shot through the
upper part of the thigh, the ball pass
ing through the body. He recovered
from the wound, but always llmped
afterward. He died a few years ago
in Texas. At the time of the duel
Capt. Desha's left arm was useless IN
consequence of a serious wound recelV-
ed during the war.
Desha and Kimbrough were neigh
Dor boys and schoolmates, and the
trouble began between them when at
school. 1t was renewed after the war,
the duel resulting. Major Harvey
Mcdowell, OF Cynthiana, was Desha S
second, and Major Long acted for
Kimbrough. DR.. Benedict keene,
then prominent physician OF George
town, was surgeon to the latter. Ihe
duel was witnessed by Warren Smith
and George ". Downing, of George
town. This was probably te last duel
ever fought in Kentucky.-Leadville

COUNTRY CHANGED IN 4 NIGHT.
The Rabacca River is Now a
Stream of Fire Quarter ola
Mile Wide.

Kingston, Island of st. Vincent, Sat-
urday, Sept. 6.-The sights in the
Windward district of this island re-
sulting from the eruption of the Sou
friere volcano Sept. 8, are very inter
esting. The Rabacca river even now
is a stream Of fire a quarter of mile
or more wide. The greater part of the
Rabacca is wrapped in vapor and
there are mimic eruptions every
where. The river bed is continuously
throwing up columns and dense clouds
of steam, mud and pebbles. The land
has spread farther seaward and is
changing considerably the appearance
of the district from what it was prior to
Sept. 3. This was probably caused by
the elected matter that flowed down
the slopes filing the sea about The
coast.
Fifty laborers, deceived by the appa
rent quietude of the volcano, were
working within the fire zone on
Wednesday at the extreme north OF the
island, when they suddenly saw evi-
.dence Of an approaching disturbance
of the mountain, but were unable to
leave the spot before electric flashes
and an outpour of gases drove them to
their shelter, where they remained, at
the base of the mountain throughout
the terrible night, while forked light
ming darted in all directions around
them. TIE men miraculously escaped
unhurt and arrived at Kingston yes
terday.
The port officer of Chateau Belair
who saw the Soufriere from the sea
yesterday says that the mountain is
considerably lower than before.
He declares that the appearance OF
the summit has changed. A large
proportion has evidently been blown
off and the hill has much more jag
ged contour. The neighborhood is al
tered. New ridges, valleys and
strange ravine have been cut in the
west side of the volcano, down to what
was formerly the Carib settlement OF
Haracai, where liquid matter was seen
flowing during the afternoon, Sept. ).
TIE northeastern estates, Petit Bor-
dele and Sharpes, are covered with
from ten to twenty inches Of gritty
substance. The crops of arrow root
and cocoa are ruined.
During the night of Sept. 4 there
was terrific storm. accompanied oy
binding lightning and terrible peals
of thunder and moaning sound from
the agitated crater.
