HUMAN HEADS IN A SAcK.-The
mystery of the sack washed ashore at
Genoa, and containing the heads of a
man and woman, has been cleared up.
The woman was the wife of a Milanese
merchant, who killed her through mo-
-tives of jealousy, dismembered the body,
and brought it piecemeal to Genoa.
With the object of concealing his crime
he put in the sack along with the muir
dered woman's head the head of an
executed criminal, which his brother, a
physician, obtained from a hospital.
The heads were wrapped in newspapers
of different countries, to further throw
the police off the true scent.

Col. S. G. MILLS, Inspector-General
Of the United States army, in his Off
cial capacity paid the Virginia Military
Institute visit on Wednesday and made a
thorough inspection of the cadet corps
and everything pertaining to the school
When he had finished the inspection
Colonel Mills stated that there was no
school in this country that could COM
pare with this, outside of the Military
Academy at West Point. This was a
high compliment to Virginia's military
school. but one in every way deserved.
The V. NJ. |. has always been regarded
as the West Point of the South and if
that institution had one-tenth of the
money for its support as has the govern
ment military academy, it would equal
the latter in every respect.

nesdav night. A band Of 1900 Bulgarians

considerably discouraged the friends Of the
agitators in Armenia.

Rig Atlantic Liner Aground.

New York, June 3. The giant steam
ship Deutschland, ofthe Hamburg-Amer-
lean line, left her pier shortly after one
O'Clock yesterday afternoon with many
distinguished passengers aboard. While
making her way slowly down the bay in
the heavy pail of smoke and haze, she
grounded on the north side of Gedney
channel. Four tugs with the assistance
of wrecking steamer passed hawser
lines to the big ship and when the tide
was at food this morning tried to pull
her off the bar. Craftsmanship would not
bulge, and further effort was postponed
until high water this afternoon. Many
vessels have grounded in the mud in the
thick weather where the Deutschland
lies. Though one-third of the ships
length is grounded it is not believed she
is in any way damaged or in any danger.
The Deutschland has 1850 passengers on
board. In her strong box is 81, 900, 900
in gold belonging to New York bankers.

SUICIDE OF YoUTH.-Earl Kauff-
man, seventeen years old, living with
his parents at 602 f street northeast,
Washington, yesterday afternoon COM
mitted suicide by hanging in the base
ment of his home. The boy was the
son of E. T. Kaufman, a plumber liv-
ing at the above number. He was the
fourth of eight children. He was an
industrious boy, having worked for his
father for some years. He was so en-
gagged yesterday, the two being employed
until early in the afternoon doing some
plumbing in house near Fort Myer in
Alexandria county. He returned home
and shortly after 4 o'clock his mother
found him in the basement hanging
from gas pipe, hands and feet pinioned
and a cloth pulled over his face, and
dead. The lad had never given the
slightest intimation of suicide, nor was
he of respondent nature, but was
moody, and inclined to vagaries. His
father says that he was formerly great
reader of trashy novels, and was inclined
to day dreams of great inventions which
he was to make.

AT SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, yesterday
President Roosevelt made a speech in
which he said:
at seems to me eminently fitting that
the guard around the tomb of Lincoln
should be composed of colored soldiers.
1t was my own good fortune at Santiago
to serve beside colored troops. A man
who is good enough to shed his blood for
his country is good enough to be given a
square deal afterward."
OF course this speech was made to
catch the colored vote, but Mr.. Roose-
velt took good care not to say that but
for the colored troops at San Juan, the
Trough riders" would have been deci-
mated.

St. Louis ENDANGERED.

St. Louis, June 5.-The food waters
are rising rapidly in st. Louis, East st.
Louis, and contiguous territory, and the
situation is alarming in many parti-
culars. The water stood at 1873 at 10
a. m. today, 9.S feet above danger
mark. The conditions along the st.
Louis leyee are becoming more serious
every minute. In the lower portion Of
the city, both north and south, many
families are homeless and property
losses will be heavy. East st. Louis is
in immediate danger of repetition of
the food of 1892. The south portion of
the city was flooded this morning. Two
feet more of water will bring the in
undation of East st. Louis, and it now
seems certain this rise will come.

TODAY's DISPATCHES seem to show a
rift in the strike cloud which recently
reappeared in the mining district of
Pennsylvania. All sincerely hope it
may break and pass entirely away.
Those who hold the key to the situa-
ton have it in their power to save the
country from repetition of last year $
scenes. May the issues involved be
considered in a conservative and con-
ciliatory spirit and settled to the salts
faction Of both mine owner and miner.
In the disputes of this world litigants on
both sides are often 81 lcefe Both be-
lieve they right, and in some features
probably the cause of one is rs just as
the other; but the services of disinter-
ested arbitrator are needed to calm the
troubled waters and show how both
parties should make concessions in the
interests Of the common good.

ANOTHER SLAUGHTER.

Horrible details are arriving at Mon
astir, European Turkey, of the slaughter

ing any loss. AS no rebels were left in
the village, the inhabitants experienced
no anxiety until suddenly, at sunset,
the Turks, who had completely sur
rounded the place, began a regular bonn
bardment, whereupon all the villagers
assembled in the streets. Though the
artillery ceased firing during part of the
night, the Turkish infantry fired all
night long. The artillery bombardment
was resumed at daybreak, but as
it was ineffective the Turks
set fire to the village on all sides,
and began general massacre,
slaughtering women. children and the
aged. About 800 houses were burned
and upwards of 200 persons, mostly wo-
men and children, we're killed. The wo-
men and girls were murdered while resist
ing outrage. Whole households were
slain. One family of seven were slain
and their bodies were heaped on the
hearth. Not living soul was left in the
village. The survivors, many of them
half burned or otherwise injured, fed.
Some Of the fleeing villagers were cap
tured and their ears and noses cut off be-
fore they were butchered. The report
adds that 800 villagers were in the
mountains, without clothing or food.

and children, we're caught by soldiers in

Lacrosse, Wis, June 5.-The United

night that owing to a certain climatic
condition existing throughout the north

scientific theories to bear out his remark
able statement, and chief among them is
the claim that the low barometric pres
sure introduced a morbid, morose dispo-
sition, which leans naturally toward
crime and murder.
