Affairs la Japan.

Toxic. Dec, 2S.--Siress was laid by
the Mikado in his speech before the
House of Peers at the openi " Of the
Japanese Diet today on the increasing
cordiality Of the cou atry's fore gn re-
lalions.
The houses will reply briefly and
formally, and then adjourn for three
weeks, after which the sessions real
business will begin. The government
has so overwhelming majority in the
Diet that there will hardly be con-
troversy over fiscal measures. Even in
the emigration matter there is no doubt
that the governments policy OF restric-
ton will be upheld.
A motion of lack OF confidence will
probably be introduced on account Of
the proposed increase ia taxes, but
it will urques,ionsbly be voted down.

MYSTERIOUS Death,

Rome, Dec. 2S.-The beautiful young
Marchioness Gnglielmetti, daughter OF
one of the wealihiest aristocrats in Rome,
and her wooer, signor Spalletti, q rising
tenor, engaged by Conreid to appear next
season In New York, we're found dead
under mysterious circumstances today In
the conservatory adjoining the 7ills Of
the young woman's father. The tragedy
was PROFESSIONALLY due to parental OPP
position 10 the couples courtship. SQal
letti and his sweetheart had met clandes-
timely in the conservatory. When
found they we're locked in from the out
side. There were several doors, all Sc
curely fastened, rendering escape impos-
sible without commotion which must
have alarmed the house. How they died
has not been defuitely determined.
One explanation offered is that, finding
discovery inevitable, they poisoned
themselves rather than face disgrace.
The police incline TO the theory ad-
vsnced by several physicians, that they
were suilocated in the cloaely shut con-
servstory, by the intense fragrance of the
magnoliss. gardenias aud tube roses
with which the room was filed. Actiog
on the superstition that the sweethearts
were locked in by some one who waited
them discovered in each others company,
the detectives have arrested the Marquis
Guglielmelti's wife, formerly the famous
prima donna, Deiarro. The Marquis,
an aged ridower, welded Signorits De-
faro but short time ago and his daugh-
ter by his former marriage is known to
have opposed the match. The step
mother denies responsibility for the
irapedy.

MYste rious Suicide.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Through a
note written by Henry F. Terry, prev
ious to an attempt to kill himself in
San Francisco a year ago, his relatives
are hopeful of clearing up the mysterious
which drove him to end bis life some
time last night in Prospect Park,
Brooklyn. This note said in part that
he was dying ito save the honor of mo. g
than one woman snd the family from
which sprung" The letter has never
been explained. Terry comes Of a we'll
known old family Of Brooklyn and was
reputed 10 be worth $3.50, 900, largely
accumulated through operation of fruit
farms in California and Arizons. So
far as known to his relatives there was
no csuse to end bis life. They deny
grief over his mothers death had uu-
blsnced him and that he had not had q
love affair in years.

MYSTERY UNSOLYED.

Among the hundreds OF people who
fled into the back room Of the under
sker's shop in Harrison, N. j., yester-
Ia, to look at the body which was found
Thursday morning in Lamp Black
Swamp there was not one who could
identity the woman, They came from a
doz,n towns in that part of Jstsey--
husbands in search OF runaway wives,
mothers who besitsted to glance under
the white sheet fjr fear that the face of
daughter might be disclosed, brothers
looking for a sister, detectives, swarms
Of the morbidly curious,
One person only, William Snyder,
had ever seen the woman before, so he
said. He was standing in front OF a
restaurant in Market street, Newark,
when a goodlooklng woman wearing a
tailor-mado, claret-cOlored suit of mill
tary cut stepped up to him and asked
him where she could find cheap restau-
rant,
"Irs got to be pretty cheap, too, "
che said, "because I'm pretty nearly
broke"
Synder showed her TO lunchroom.
When he looked at the body yesterday
and the clothing that had been taken
out CT the river and picked up along the
edge Of the swamp he was positive that
the dead woman was the same who spoke
to him on Christmas night.
The mystery of this woman's death Is
as complete as it was the morning she
was found. To the questions as to what
caused her death, how the body was
lhrown into The swamp back OF Har'i-
SOD, who she was, where she came from
the police have not found the slightest
answer.
