Double Murder and Suicide.

HillsbOro, o., June 8. The home of
Edward Hines, farmer living two miles
north of HillshOro, was the scene last
night of what is now thought to have
been double murder, and suicide.
When Hines and his wife who had been
in HillsbOro to hear a baccalaureate ser
mon returned home and entered the
house they stumbled over what proved
to be the dead body of David Baldwin, a
young man whom Hines had taken in
about two years and cared for as if he
we're son. A further examination dis
closed the fact that in an upstairs bed
room, the daughter of Mrs. Hines, Miss
Madge, aged l6, and companion, Miss
Nellie Bart, were also dead. The dis
ordered room showed that struggle had
occurred, and it is thought that the young
women fought for their lives TO the last.
A revolver was found in their room, and
it was with this weapon that both were
killed. Beside the dead body of the
young man was found shot gun, which
had been discharged He was lying on
his back, with his hands across his breast.
When found the young women were
dressed for bed. One of them was lying
on the bed and the other on the floor. 1t
is learned on good authority that no
attempt was made to criminally assault
the young women. BloOdhounds have
been sent for and they will Immediately
be put TO work.

that seven japanese destroyers are re.
ported to be lying inside of CorregidOr
Island. The Russian cruisers Aurora,
Zemschug and Olega reached Manila on
Saturday in badly damaged condition,
after escaping from the japanese in the
great naval battle and it is supposed the
japanese deslroyers are lying in wait
for their enemy in case the cruisers try
TO leave Manila harbor. No word has
been received here as to what disposition
is to be made OF the cruisers, and until
this all important question is decided
the japanese vessels can do nothing but
lie in wait for the Russians.

RUSSIAN SHIPS AT MANILA.

Rear Admiral Enquist, who with three
battered and disabled Russian cruisers,
arrived at Manila Saturday, has asked
for IA days ia which to repair, coal and
provision his ships. The cruisers are
all damaged below the waterline, which
renders them unseaworthy.
Admiral Train appointed beard 10
investigate the condition of the Russian
warships. The board will begin its in-
yestigatiOn Immediately.
The naval board examined into the
condition of the ships, and reported that
the Olga will require so days, the Au-
rora 30 days and the Jemtchug days
to effect repairs. Admiral Enquist has
requested permission to repair at Manila,
saying that he would be unable to sail
except in smooth sea.
1t has been learned that when Admi-
raj Train agreed to allow the Russians
IA days in which to coal, Admiral En-
quist significantly replied that they
would not be able to take aboard enough
fuel to permit them TO reach Vladivo-
stOk, as its weight would sink their
hulls below their many insecure patches.
The vessels will likely be interned at
Manila.
The japanese consul at Manila called
on Governor General Wright twice yes
terday to make inquiries regarding the
disposition of the Russian vessels.
Admiral Train has offered the Russian
ships the necessary coal in lieu of IA
days stay at Manila, but there is
question whether the Russians will be
able to carry such quantity of coal on ac-
count of their damaged hulls.
Prince Poteaten is among the wound
ed Russians in the hospital.
The deaths yesterday aboard the Russian
ships nbw bring the total of killed up to
Al, and there are FIVE additional cases in
the hospital. American navy surgeons
are assisting the Russian surgeons in
their work of caring for the wounded.
The battle had not ended when Adj
miral Enquist left with his squadron.
lie says that his squadron was complete
when it entered the fight on the morning
of May 81. He exchanged shots with
the enemy at 1000 yards He attempt
ed to pierce the japanese line aud make
dash for Vladivostok, but he was at
tackled by cruisers and torpedo boats and
forced to make a running fight. The
main attack of the japanese was concen-
trated on the Russian battleships.
His own flagship was sunk and he
transferred his flag to the Aurora. He
was ultimately forced to flee to The south
west, taking that course at 10 O'Clock
Sunday night, and succeeded in max
ing his escape with three of his ships
in the darkness. He headed for Shang-
hal.
A heavy sea was running, which
threatened to swamp the vessels, owing
10 their injuries below the water line,
and in order to ease them a. much az
possible he headed TO the south. lie saw
nothing of the enemy and sighted only
few merchantmen until he encountered
the Americas squadron off LuzOn.

No Settlement i'm Sight.

Adjustment of the teamsters' strike in
Chicago by mediation seemed as remote
last night as it did two mouths ago.
Peace negotiations have been abandoned
for the present, and the strike will be al
lowed to take its natural course" &C
cording to President She's, of the team
sters organization. All the business
firms now involved in the trouble refuse
to concede anything further in the con-
troversy, which they now regard as a
thing of the past. "Peace negotiations
are off for all time" said Levy Mayer,
chiefcounsel for the employers, last night.
ave absolutely are finished with all con.
ferences with the strikers. The only
thing that prevented settlement of the
whole trouble Saturday night was pique
on the part of President Shea because he
had been sighted in'the conferences and
because of his arrest in connection with
libel charges filed by Mr.. Thorne, Of
Montgomery Ward & Co."
"The employers blocked settlement
Saturday night" said President Shea
yesterday. "Their objection to the
men wearing union buttons and . re-
fusal to agree not to discriminate against
the strikers was all that prevented the
calling off of the strike"

Blew Up His Heme.

New York, June John ZelIer, a
Ridgewood contractor, blew up his home
Sunday night, in an effort to kill his
wife, son, and himself He succeeded
in killing himself, but his wife and son
we're blown through an open easement.
The mother escaped with few bruises,
but the son, a boy of 20, may die. Zel-
Ter was a hard drinker, and his habits
naturally led to domestic jars. He had
often threatened to blow up his family,
with dynamite, and he finally tried TO
keep his word.

thing would be hurt by change as certain
conditions had existed long enough. 1t
is principles that count; not appropri-
ations and department work. The lat
ter made the democratic party no better
than the republican. The Governor
then formally announced his candidacy
for the Senate. He said he is foot-free
and united has no boss at home or in
Washington, nor is cog In any wheel.
He appealed to his course as pub
lie servant, referred to his stand on
school books, his course in connection
with the.pardoniDg power, his vetool bills,
&C., but said he had nothing to exploit.
He referred to newspaper attacks in one
breath and to the American principle
of free discussion 10 another, aud plumed
himself upon the assertion that he had
never scratched democratic ticket.
II is not uncharitable to say that from
an argumentative point of view the
speech was failure, and there was an
appavent disappointment on the part OF
many who had heard the Governor on
other occasions.

the stage during the speaking we're

Murder Trial.

Rochester, n. Y, June 5.-Before
Justice Edwin A. Nash, in the Supreme
Court, this morning, began the trial OF
Erwin NJ. Smith, on a charge of murder
in the second degree, trial that
promises to be most sensational in local
criminal history. Smith is charged
with the murder ofhis sweetheart, "Bir-
die" Hart, a young country girl. Dis
coyery Of the murder was made during
an investigation Of an att mpt to burn
J. Whaller Company's packing house in
the village of Webster, the home of the
murdered girl and her lover On the
night of July s, last, the packing house
was fired, but the flames were extin-
guished before any material damage had
resulted. Two nights later the night
Waterman at the packing house heard
some one moving about the place, and
made an investigation. The result OF
The search was the finding Of the girls
body in a corner OF the basement. The
coroner's investigation showed that the
girl was in delicate condition, and that
her death was due to strangulation.
Smith, as the last person seen with the
girl when she was alive, was suspected
and ten days after the finding ofthe body,
was arrested on a charge Of murder.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS are still
causing the new possessors trouble.
Part Of the dismembered Russian feet
has put in at Manila and friction be-
tween the United States and Japan is
likely to occur. The Russian ships are
in no condition to proceed and their
commanders are invoking permission of
this country to remain where they are
until the vessels can be repaired, coaled
and provisiOned. Should the request be
denied the United States will be looked
upon as cruel and strengthen the belief
that this country, if not an ally of
Japan, is in sympathy with her, and re-
creant TO Russia which country was the
only foreign nation friendly to the
federal government during the war.
This incident is but the beginning of
serious complications which are immi-
nent as long as the flag of the United
States remains in far-awsy Asia. The
country lost its head seven years ago and
rushed in a mad career of conquest. 1t
is now reaping what it then sOwed.
Japan was naturally incensed at France
for allowing Admiral Rojestvensky's
fleet to recuperate in French waters;
she will not be slow in manifesting
resentment at the United States for
similar breach of neutrality if the Cars
ships remain at Manila beyond the time
allowed by international agreement.
