dence, corner of 9th and streets south
east, yesterday morning, and her remains
were taken to Zurhorst's undertaking es-

tragic murder by her two brothers, John
and James Devln, of her husband, Thomas
Berry, about fifty years ago at the Devlln
family residence, No 215 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast. On account of Berry having
wife living at the time of his m irriage
with their sister there was lll-feellng be-
tween him and the brothers, and one day
when he visited the house fight ensued,
during which Berry was stabbed to death
by the brothers, who were tried ana con-
Victed of mansla lighter, the elder one, John,
being sent to the insane asylum. and the

United States Marine Corps and her mother
a daughter of Sergeant Major PuliZzl or
the Marine Corps, and the family owned
valuable property in this city, particularly
on CAPITOL Hill, all of which came into pos

for the nomination. He was the demo-
cratic standard bearer during the cam
paigns of 1900 and 1902, and was badly
defeated by Representative Sydney E.
Mudd, who has again been nominated by
the republicans. His friends say that,
having made the fight when there was
absolutely no chance for success, he is
entitled to the nomination as a reward
for sacrifices then made.
The candidacy of Mr. Robert w Wells.

UPPER MARLBORO, August "a, 1904.
The death of Senator JOS S. Wilson is
likely to precipitate a lively contest for
the congressional nomination in the fifth
Maryland district. DR.. Richard S. Hill of
this place is believed to be the choice of
the state leaders, and it is said by those
in a position to know that he would re-
ceive their moral and substantial sup

the United States Senate.

The Perdicaris Case.

THE alleged kidnapping of Perdicaris
sidered a great joke at Tangier." said Mr.
auckland, who stopped at Tangier three
days after the disappearance of the Amer
lean. While there 1 had for guide an
old Moor named Mustapha. He informed
me that Perdicaris and Raisouli were
tanned Perdicaris at his home On that oc-
casion Raisouli explained to his guest that
he had been badly treated by the sultan,
who had imprisoned him for four years
Upon his release he threatened to even up
matters with the sultan. He proposed to
Perdicaris, 1t is said. that he allow him
self TO be kidnapped by the outlaw chief so
he could put the screws the sultan
by demanding a big ransom which he
would have to pay. Perdicaris objected to
the proposition at first, but when Raisouli
informed him that force would be used If
necessary to accomplish his object his OPP
position Is said to have weakened, and he
was spirited away"
II regard that kidnapping matter" added
Mr.. Buckland "as political move against
an opera bouffe government. The foreign
at the hotels at Tangier also regard
the whole matter as huge joke. They
say If Perdicaris was not actual party
to the scheme. he was not an unwilling
participant.
Speaking of the Moorish soldiers Mr.
auckland said they are mostly boys who
do not appear to be strong enough to prop
erly level their guns Some OF them are

JAPANESE TRANSPORT SUNK.
Common Soldiers Prefer Death to Sur
render.

Common Soldiers Prefer Death to Sur
render.
Russian torpedo boats belonging to
the Vladivostok squadron, according
to st. Petersburg cable sank a jap
anese military transport, the Kinshiu-
Maru, of 1000 tons. during the night
of April 26, with all on board with the
exception Of II officers. 20 soldiers, IS
of the crew and IS Coolie carriers.
The others, who refused to surrender,
were sent to the bottom with the ship.
The official report Of Rear Admiral
Yeszen to the emperor is as follows:
During the night Of April 26, two
Russian torpedo boats met at sea the
japanese military transport Kinshiu-
Maru Of 1000 tons, laden with rice and
military stores and about 1,5OO tons OF
coal. The transport was armed with
four Hotchkiss guns Of AZ milli-
metres. The Russians captured on
board II officers, 20 soldiers, S5 mill
tary carriers, or coolies, and IS Of the
crew, who surrendered. The remainder
of the men, who were to form land
ing party and who were left without
officers obstinately refused to surrender
or 20 on board Russian cruiser. Fur
thermore they offered armed resistance
to the Russians. In the end they were
sent to the bottom with the transport.
Admiral Yeszen reports that besides
the sinking Of the Japanese steamer
Goyo- -Maru at Won San (Gensan) April
25, the Russians sank at sea the same
evening the japanese steamer Naka-
mura- -Maru, of 220 tons, whose crew
was saved.
The satisfaction of the people of st.
Petersburg at the exploits Of the Vlad-
ivostok squadron is tempered with ad-
miration for the bravery Of the Japa-
nese soldiers who were on board the
sunken transport Kinshiu-Maru and
who preferred to drown rather than
surrender.
Rear Admiral Yeszen's full report
says that 200 men went down with the
ship.
The admiralty admits that the men
acted heroically but holds that Admiral
YesZen had no other alternative than
to sink the transport, since he could not
spare a prize crew or hamper his swift
squadron with a slower steamer IT
is pointed out that the officers on board
the Kinshiu Maru appreciated the sit
uation by accepting imprisonment rath-
er than death.
In the case of the smaller Japanese
transports sunk by the torpedo boats
at Won San, the crew was sent ashore
because there were no accommodations
for them on the torpedo boats.
The crew of the Japanese steamer
Nakamura- -Maru. as we'll as the Japa-
nese of the Kinshiu- Maru who surren-
dered, have been taken to the Russian
cruisers.
The admiralty here processes igno-
rance as to the future plans Of Admiral
Yeszen. but it is believed he is in COM
munication with Vladivostok by wire
less telegraphy and is not likely to be
surprised by the Japanese squadron
sent to prevent his return.

having been a gain Of something like
q mn mn ,3,,,;ror ha

having been a gain Of something like
$4,000, 900 during the week.
This unusual situation Is explained
from several causes. In the first place,
the money is coming from the south
and west where it has been in use
since last summer and fall in the
movement Of the wheat and cotton
crops and in the second place, the large
are in a state of doubt and
hesitation as to where to find profitable
investment.
Until recently, when there was a
plethora of money, those who had con-
troll of large sums, were disposed to
invest in the securities Of one or the
other of the great manufacturing or
railroad trusts; but since the decision
in the Northern Securities case this
character Of investment Is less attrac-
tive than it was. But this one fact
does not completely account for the
remarkable congestion described.
There is more or less doubt and hesi-
tation on account Of the possible atti-
tude of the government to the tariff
and other questions of financial policy
after the next general election, and
large capitalists are not disposed to
take unnecessary risks until the Sit
uation begins to settle.
Most of the large banks Of New
York pay from to per cent on de-
posits, and they are very much con-
cerned because they are finding so
little demand for their money. Large
sums have been put out by various of
these banks recently, on call, at 1 per
cent, thus netting themselves fixed
losses until they can find more profit
able loans.
Under ordinary circumstances, the
s4O,00O,O00 that the government Will
have to pay on account Of the Panama
canal concession would have serious
effect on the financial situation; but
as matters stand now, the payment will
be made without causing ripple. If
the transaction were not Of such a
public nature, the public would hardly
know of the payment, so small VIII It's
effect be on the money market.
But while this problem is one of
great concern to the bankers north,
the bankers south and west are not
so seriously troubled. AS a rule they
are finding a ready market for all the
money they have to lend. and the
situation in New York furnishes facil-
tiles for discounting such as have not
been enjoyed in this locality for a
long time.

Homicide Near Kings Mountain.
Jim McMackin killed Rufe Froney-

ground last Tuesday evening, and sur

Probably Ineendiary.

by fire last Wednesday night, and Tom
Wells, colored, was committed to jail
Thursday on the charge Of having
burned it. Mr.. Clinton lost barn

the testimony was not sufficient to
convict.
