FAMILY OF SIX KILLED.
Mother and Five Children Murdered
and Husband Held for the Crime.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 25.-Mrs. Will
liam McWilliams and her five children.
ranging from 8 years to Is years Of age.
nave been found murdered at their farm
home, six miles south of Independence,
Ia. The husband and father William
McWilliams, is now under arrest at IN
dependence, charged with the crime.
Ihe murder was the most brutal in
the history of eastern Iowa. Evidently
the mother had been killed while prepar-
ing meal, for when the bodies were
found food was on the stove. cooking.
She had been killed by blows of a ham
mer, and her skull was terribly crushed; !;
then she had been savagely hacked with
a knife. After her murder the children
had evidently been called in one by one
and murdered in a similar manner, for
all wore clothing that indicated that
they had been at work on the farm just
before death.
The babe, not years old, when
found still wore hood and mittens and
had in its hand a piece of buttered
bread One blow of the hammer had
suhced for it, and then the murderer
laid 1t IN its mothers arms. The only
evidence Of a struggle was found in the
/ Injuries sustained by the 16-year-old
daughter, whose hands were badly
lacerated where she had apparently
clutched at the murderous knife.
The murder was discovered by q
milkman named Saunders, who called
at the house to get milk. When Off
GERS reached the house no trace of the
husband could be found, but an aban-
dOned suit of his clothing was found
badly smeared with blood. Later il
was learned from rural mail carrier
that A4cWilliams had been seen on his
way to Independence, and that he had
cOolly told the carrier that his family
had been killed. He came to Inde-
pendence by a circuitous route, and
was not found until this evening.
McWiIliams denies his guilt. He
will be examined as to his sanity.

Sultan Angry at Germany.(?)
Berlin, Nov. 25.-The foreign Office
emphatically denies that Turkeys at
titude is due to German influences. So
far from this being true, it is said that
the sultan is actually angry at Ger
many because the foreign Office had
repeatedly advised him to accept the
powers demands.
Reply of the Powers.
Constantinople, via Sofia, Bulgaria,
Nov. 25.-The ambassadors of the
powers at a conference just held de-
cided to proceed with the naval dem
Onstration as the best reply to the
pOrte's note.
There is absolutely no sign among
the MussulmanS of Constantinople that
they are in the least way disturbed
concerning the question of the fnan-
cial control of Macedonia. The vast
majority are not aware that such a
question exists. The aspect of the
city is perfectly normal and there ap-
pears to be no chance of an anti
Christian movement unless the word is
given from high quarters.
1t is persiStently reported, but not
yet confirmed, that the grand vizer,
Ferrid Pasha, has been dismissed and
replaced by Abidin PaSha, governor
general of the archipelago. AS the ac-
ceptance of the demands of the powers
require scapegoats, there is a disposi-
ton in some quarters to credit the re-
port as being the precursor of the
abandonment by the porte of its pres
ent attitude.
Following the precedent which he
set when the Russian feet made a
demonstration off the coast of India
in 1908, the sultan has charged its
Vice Admiral Husni Pasha, who left
Constantinople November %, on a
special steamer for the Dardanelles,
among other duties to welcome the in
ternational fleet with presents of fruit,
candies and cigarettes.
Balkan States Warned.
Paris, Nov. 25.-It was learned at the
/ foreign office today that Austria and Rus
sIa. in behalf of the powers have address.
ed strong note to Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece, warning them that the powers
naval demonstration against Turkey
should not be made a pretext for revolu-
tionary movements on the part of these
countries against Turkey. It is now def
initely determined that the objective of
the demonstration viii be the island of
| Mytilene, where the customs will be seiz-
/ ed but the international feet will not act
within "a hours and probably not within
/ 4S hours. In the meantime the porte
and the ambassadors continue their dis
| cussions with some prospect that Turkey
/ will yield before the fleet acts.

As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.
