Milton Gorton, who were found burned
to death in their home last night, were

have evidence that convinces them
that double murder was committed
for the purpose of robbery. Inquest

track instantly killing Engineer James
Herston and seriously, if not fatally
scalding his fireman, whose name is
Wilcox. The caboose, which contain
ed the physicians and other passen-
gers remained on the track, and be-
yond cuts and bruises sustained when
the sudden stoppage of the train
came, the occupants were uninjured.
The doctors first attended to those
injured in the wreck and then pro-
ceeded to Jennings to render what as
sistance was possible to the victims

granddaughter lived but a short time
While Sullivan is still alive he can
not recover. So far as known there
was no motive for the crime.

whole population.
General Matos is we'll known at
Fort de France, where he has many
friends. Local newspapers have pub
lished articles expressing hopes for
the prompt success of the expedition
and downfall of President Castro,
whose attitude the papers add, has
earned for him the enmity vf the
whole world.
Previous to his departure from Fort
de France, General Matos issued a
manifesto calling on all his fellow
countryment to take up arms.
While the libertador was at this
port her sides we're strengthened by

We're protected. Her armament is of

St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 2.-Govenor
Van SAINT and Attorney General Doug.
lass reached home this afternoon.
Both drove straight to the capitol and
went to work. There is no rest for
either.
The attorney general will hence
forth be the central figure in the fight.
He leaves tomorrow night for Wash
ington and will institute the states
suit Monday in the federal supreme
court His appearance Monday will
be formality. The court will set
date for hearing and Mr.. Douglass
will return to Minnesota.
When he next goes to Washington
he will be accompanied by George P.
Wilson and M. D. Mum, his asso-
ciates in the case. Then the great
battle will be on in earnest.
The institution of the first suit in
the United States supreme court is
in line with the original plan made
by Mr.. Douglass, as, regardless of it's
effect on the ultimate result of the
fight, it will definitely settle the ques-
ton of jurisdiction, which is some
what clouded. Suit in the United
States supreme court may be imme-
diately followed by an action along
the same lines in the supreme court of
New Jersey.

MANUFACTURES INCREASE.
Year 1901 Remarkable for Industrial
Growth.

New York, Dec. 31.-Dun's Review
will say on January A: Most mar
yelous of all the phenomenal evidences
of the advancement in business dur
ing the year was the progress made
in manufacturing. It is impossible
to be too extravagent in delineating
the movements of the industrial world.
Never in the history of this, or any
other nation, has such development
occurred within the space of 12
months. The expansion of productive
capacity was enormous, improved
method of work and organization were
conspicuous, wise economies were in
troduced. but more than all other fac
tors that made for permanent prosper
. y was the conservative resistance to
vice imitation"

TERRIBLE CONDITION OF MA.
TlvEs IN CENTRAL AFRICA.
HANDEDOYE TO CANNIBALS
Belgian Methods a Disgrace to White
Mans Work in the Dark
Continent.

London, Jan. captain Guy Bur
rows, who has just retired from the
employ of the Congo Free State gov
ernment after six years service, de-
clared in an interview today, with
representative of the Associated Press,
that the conditions prevailing in
Congo Free State are disgrace to
civilization and far worse than ever
before. iHe pictured atrocities of the
most horrible character perpetrated
on the natives by officials and whites
who had concessions of rubber land.
AS typical instance of the means
employed by the Free State govern
ment, Captain Burrows corroborated
statement Of an American mission
airy to the effect that the officials en-
ployed 500 cannibals TO whom they
issuer rifles ito massacre and capture
unarmed natives who had rebelled
against their brutal methods" Il have
sworn testimony said Burrows, "of
Belgians handing over natives to can
nibal tribes for the express purpose
of being eaten. Forced labor prevails
everywhere and shotgun rule is the
truest description of the present ad-
miniStratiOn.
The companies deriving wealth from
the collection of rubber are all more
or less state enterprises, as third or
half share in them are invariably held
by the government Latterly King
Leopold and the government have
made some show Of action against the
agents of some of the upper Congo
companies. but only minor officers are
ever touched and the so-callsd reforms
are merely intended to throw dust in
the eyes of the public, whose indigna-
tion has been arounsed by stories Of
this reign of terror
while the present systems for the
collection of rubber and recruitment
of natives continue the Congo Free
State will remain a disgrace to the
white mans work in Africa

Mr.. Choate communicated his inten-

giving as his reason that his duties Of
state as ambassador from the United
States to England have prevented his
active participation in the affairs of

so much of his time for several years
to come that it would be impossible

Washington, Jan. 2.-State depart

news bearing on the case of Miss
Stone, and therefore cannot confirm
a dispatch from London transmitting
At the same time such consumma-
tion of the efforts in her behalf would
