Killing Carrie Jennett, Pu-
pill With Whom He Was
Infatuated,

Detroit, April 1O.-What the
police consider to be a strong link
in the chain of circumstancial cyi-
dence that they are weaving about
Prof. Joseph M. Miller, aged ~,
u music teacher and married man

picicn Of brutally numbering Miss
Carria M. Jennett, on Thirteenth
street, just before midnight, was
diseovesed this evening. 1t is a
| blood stained hatched which was
found in the drawer of table in
Miller's kitchen. There is now
the following circumstantial evil
dence against Milter, who was the
girls music teacher and had paid
her such marked attention that
her father had asked him to keen
away from the house. When he
was examined at the Grand River
avenue police station today what
are supposed to be blood stains
were found on his shirt sleeves,
his trousers, shoes, hat and over
coat: a towel was discovered in his
kitchen with what are supposed to
be blood stains on it; when he was
asked for an explanation of the
stains on his clothing he gave
none and finally the blood
hatchet was found tonight.
Miss Jennett, who was % years
OF age, and who would have be-
come a mother in few months
was most brutally dene to death
Just before II o'clock last night.
She was felled by terrible blow
on the head, which broke her
neck and her throat was cut from
ear to ear. \ blow from some
instrument made hole in the
middle of her forhead and behind
her left ear was deep stab wound
evidently made by the same in
strumcnt that was used to cut her
throat. In addition to these CASH
wounds heavy blow had been
struck on the side of he, face.

mutllated body was found in this
condition in a lonely spot on
Thirteenth street. 1t wss taken
to the morgue and not identified
until this morning
Miss Jennett left her home last
evening to attend a meeting of
the Rebekah Lodge, of which she
was a member. She left the meet
ing about 10 o'clock and was not
seen again alive. Her parents
were alarmed at her not coming
home and when they heard of the
murder became fearful that it
might be their daughter. Mr..
Jennett hurried to the morgue and
there identified the mutilated
body. The police were working
on the case and questioned him
about the girl. He told them of
her infatuation for Prof. Milled
and the teacher was placed under
arrest.

he spoke In the most IL qualified
terms of appreciation of the con
spicuous gallantry and services of
Lieut.. Jenklus during the Spanish>
Amer lean war.
He subsequently made tour of
inspection of the grounds OF the
exposition, and after having par
ticipated in a reception given at
the Woman's building in honor of
himself and Mrs. Roosevelt, he
and his party left the city at o.
clock this afternoon for Summers

and tomorrow as the guests of
Capt. f. w. Wagner, president
the Exposition Company.
THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
TN his address in the auditorium
today, President Roosevelt spoke
at some length of the remarkable
progress which has been made by
the south, and especially South
Carolina since the late war. He
emphasized the necessity of unity
of action between all of the people
OF the United States in order that
the marvellous era of prosperity
which is now upon the country
might be perpetuated.
Probably, however, the portion
of his address which was listened
to with the closest attention and
which called forth the most un-
stinted applause, was that which
treated of the absolute disappear
ance of all sectional lines in the
nations feelings and affection.
In this connection be said:
''It is to me peculiar privilege
to speak here in your beautiful
city. My mothers people were
from Georgia; but before they
came to Georgia before the revo-
luton, in the days of colonial rule,
they dwelt for nearly century in
South Carolina: and therefore |
clrim your State as mine by in
heritance, ne less than by the
stronger and nobler right which
makes each foot of American soil
in sense the property of all
Americans.
"Charleston is not only typical
Southern city; it is also city
whose history teens with events
which link themselves to Ameri-
can history as whole. In the
early colonial days Charleston was
the outpost of our people against
the Spaniards, in the South. In
:he days of the revolution there
occurred here some of the events
which vitality affected the out
come of the struggle for inde-
pendence, and which impressed
themselves most deeply upon the
popular mind. 1t was here that
the tremendous, terrible drama of
the Civil War opened.
"Wlth n delicate and thought
ful courtesy you originally asked
me to come to this exposition on
the birthday of Abraham Lincoln.
The invitation not only showed a
fine generosity and man!iness in
you, my hosts, but it also EN-,
phasized how completely we are
now united people. The wounds
left by the great Civil War, in
comparably the greatest war of
modern times, have healed and its
memories are new priceless heri-
tages Of honor alike to the North
and to the South. The devotion.
the self sacrifice, the stcadfast

main forevcrmnre to mark tut
level TO which we, in our turn,
must rise, whenever the hour of
the nation ; need may come.
wv hen four years ago this ma
ton was compelled TO face 3
foreign foe, the completeness of
the reunion became instantly and
strikingly evident The war was
not one which called for the exer-
else of more than an insignificant
fraction of our strength and the
strain put upon us was slight in
deed co impaired with the results.
But IT was satisfactory thing
indeed to see the way in which
the sons of the soldiers of the
Union and the soldiers of the Con
federacy leaped eagerly forward,
emulous to show in brothcrly
rivalry the qualities which had
WON renown for their fathers, the
men of the great war. 1t was my
good fortune to serve under an
eX>tonfederate general, old Joe
Wheeler, who commanded the
cavalry division at Santiago.
In my regiment there were
certainly rs many men whose
fathers had served in the South.
ern rs there were men whose
fathers had served in the North
EN- army. Among the captains
there was opportunity to promote
but one to field lauk. The man
who was singled out for this pro-
motion because OF conspicuous
gallantry in the field, was the son
of Confederate general and was
himself citizen of this, the Pal
metto State: and no American
officer could wish to march to
battle beside "A more loyal, gallant
and absolutely fearless IL comrade
than my former captain and major,
your fellow citizen, Micah Jen
kins.
"a few mouths ago, owing TO
the enforced absence of the Gov
ernor of the Philippines, it be,
came necessary to nominate vice
Governor to take his place, one
of the most important places in
our government at this time, and
l nominated as vice Governor an
eX>Confedernte general, Luke
Wright of Tennessee. 1t is,
therefore, an cx-Coniedera,e who
now stands rs the exponent of
TINS government and this people
in that great group of islands in
the eastern seas over which the
American flag floats. General
Wright has taken a leading part
in the work of steadily bringing
order and peace out of the bloody
chaos in which we found the Is
lands. He is now taking lead
ing part, not merely in upholding
the honor of the flag, by. making
it respected as the symbol of
power, but still more in uphold
ing its honor 10y unwearied labor
for the establish nent of ordered
liberty, of law creating, law abid
ing civil government under it's
folds. The progress which has
been made under General Wright
and those like him has been in
deed marvellous. In fact, letter
of the generals the other day
seemed to show that he considered
here was far more warfare about
he Philippines in this country
han there was warfare in the
Philippines themselves. 1t is an
added proof of the completeness

BANQUETlTO GOV. TAFT.
Given by the Federal Party in Manila
Yesterday.

MANILA, September 9.-The federal party
gave a banquet to Governor Taft yester-
day, during which1 the native speakers COM
plimented the governor, expressed faith in
and affection for film and promised to sup
port his administration.
In responding Judge Taft denied that the
federal party was2a creation of the Philip
pine commission. and complimented the
party on Reorganization and common sense
and on it's service in shaping public opinion.
He said It, was proposed that the leg's-
lative assembly should contribute to the
political education of the people and fur
nsh means for determining the future Of
the country. The governor added that the
people were in a deplorable condition, ard
that it would take two or three years. at
tention to agriculture to restore prosperity.
He advised all Flipinos to unite in the work
and to refrain from agitation.

NOT OFFICIALLY REPORTED.
Alleged Killing Of Americans in Por-
tuguese East Africa,

In a mail report to the Department of
State Minister LOOMS. at Lisbon, says
that the Portuguese government has re-
ceived no official report of the alleged kill
ing Of a couple of American missionaries
at a place called Bihe Boru, in Portuguese
East Africa, which figured in the press
dispatches some time ago. Consequently
Mr.. Locmis rather discredits the story, al
though he intimates that an investigation
will be meda
Minister Loomis also reports that the
minister for the colonies says that he has
no information which points to the belief
that any missionaries had been massacred.
News from the seat of the uprising is slow
in coming and is generally lacking in de-
tails, but from the news received there
seems to be no reason for the friends of
American missionaries in the Portuguese
colonies of Africa to feel unduly alarmed
as to their safety.
Several letters received by Mr.. LOOMS
would seem to indicate that the sensational
newspaper reports to the effect that Amer
lean and other missionaries had been killed
by natives in the recent uprising near
Biho, Baru and other points in the Afri-
can colonial possessions had been the cause
of much uneasiness.

SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARIES.
State Officers and United States Sena-
tor Voted For.

COLUMBIA, g. c.. September 9.-Demo-
Gratis Of South Carolina today will. in the
second primary. finally determine upon
their candidates for United States senator,
governor and other state officers. The first
primary was held two weeks ago and the
candidates for each office who polled the
two highest votes were rendered eligible
to today's contest. The two aspirants for
United States senator who will be voted on
today are Representative Asbury c. Lati-
mer and former Governor John Gary Evans
In the first primary Latimer secured lead
of about 1900 votes over Evans, but with
the elimination Of the other four candidates
the chances Of Evans and Latimer are re-
garded about even.
The two candidates for governor are Capt.
Duncan C. Hayward and Representative w.
Jasper Talbert. Capt. Hayward was far in
the lead in the first primary, and his selec-
ton today is looked upon as almost certain.
In the city of Charleston great interest cen
tiers in the candidacy OF George F. Won
Kolnitz for state senator. He is bitterly
opposed by United States Senator Tillman,
who charges that Won Kolnitz supported
Mckinley In 1896. Won Kolnitz led by a
large plurality in the first primary. HIS
opponent today is John P. Grace, who is
regarded as the Tillman candidate.

MUCH INTEREST IN MINING.

Consul General Gudger at Panama re-
ports to the State Department that consid-
cradle interest is being shown in mining
and mining property In that country in con-
sequence of a belief thar great wealth in
gold, silver, copper ana coal Is locked up
In the surrounding hills and mountains
Some Of these mines have been worked
with encouraging results and a number Of
new companies are organizing for immed-
ate operation The mining decree which
went into effect on the LIST of June last
radically Increases the expenses involved
The COST Of denouncing property for min
eral purposes Is now about $40, whereas
before such decree it cost nothing The
tax tile, which formerly cost but $40, now
costs $50 The annual tax for each square
OF alluvIal claims, which was formerly ST.
Is now $lJD. With these charges Mr.
Gudger says, the cost of the smallest claim
Will amount to a least $50
y great deal Of dissa tisfa ction is ex-
pressed with the increased charges and
many persons think they Will retard the
development Of the mines. Consul Gudger
adds that the outlook for mining invest
ments at this time is not good. owing to
the unsettled condition OF the country.

GENERAL MILES TRIP
EXPECTED TO RETURN ABOUT
THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY.
Arrangements Completed for His Tour
OF Inspection Of Military Posts
in the Philippines.

Lieut. Gen. Miles, commanding the army,
mas returned from a brief visit to New
ork, and today presided over a meeting
OF the army board of ordnance and fortifi-
cations, which Is giving final considera ton
10 Its annual report to Congress. Gen.
Miles has practically completed arrange
ments for his tour Of inspection of the prin-
cipal military posts In the Philippine Islands.
He will leave this city Thursday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock, and make a short stop at
Chicago, and possibly at other important
points on the way to Portland, Ore, from
which city he will proceed leisurely down
the coast of California in order to inspect
the recent extensive improvements in the
coast defense system on the Pacific. He
may go as far south as San Diego His
movements will be timed so as to enable him
70 take passage for Manila on the transport
THOMAS. which Is scheduled to leave San
Francisco about the Both instant
In addition to Gen. Miles, the party will
consist of Mrs. Miles. Col. NJ. P. Maus. aid
de-camp, and Mrs. Maus. and stenogra-
pher and messenger from the army head
quarters Col. H. H. Whitney will probably
join the party later on and accompany it
back to the United States.
To Be Gone Over Three Months.
The itinerary of the trip has not been
finally arranged. 1t has been decided, how
ever. that Gen. Miles will spend about a
month visiting the principal military posts
in the Philippines, and that he will re-
turn home by one of the eastern routes.
most probably through Europe by way of
the Suez canal. thus circumnavigating the
globe. 1t is estimated that the entire trip
will consume at least three and a half
months. and that the party will return to
this city about the middle of January.
The visit of Gen. Miles to the Philippines
is simply for the purpose Of making an or
binary inspection Of military conditions,
such as he makes at regular intervals In
the military departments in the United
States, and has no more significance than
would a similar visit to the department of
the east or to any other Of the geographic
cal departments in this country In the
order issued by the Secretary Of War ap-
proving Gen. Miles application for author
ity to inspect that portion of the army serv-
ing in the Philippines he was instructed to
inspect the condition of the army and ito
give particular attention to it's instruction,
discipline and to supplies of all kinds"
Gen. Miles has nearly completed the prep
aration Of his annual report upon the OPP
erations Of the army during the past year
and expects to put on the finishing touches
during his trip across this country in order
to be able to forward it to the Secretary Of
War before his departure from San Fran
cisco,
