Tile Criuuen Case.

London, Aug. G.-The body foun
in the cellar Of DIR. II. III. Crippen S
house in I1illdrop Crescent was that oil
a woman, who in life was large and
robust This much was settled today
when DR.. Pepper, a chemist OF Scotland
Yard, made his report, following q
careful examinatian of the remnants Of
the body.
The report of the chemist, however,
instead of increasing the hope that the
authorities will ever be able to identify
the body, has tended to show highly
improbable it is that the identity can
ever be proved. II it required DR.. Pep,
per all this time to determine merely
the sex and probable size of the body
how do the authorities expect 10 show
who the dead woman was, the public is
asking.
DR.. Pepper says the body was of a
woman about the size of Belle Elmore,
DR.. Crippcn's wife, for whose supposed
murder he is now held in Quebec.

Yesterday to the Speaker who campaign
ed in Kansas:
In this glad hour OF splendid vic.
tory, which in the denomination OF
Governor Stubs and the nomination
of six insurgent congressman from TINS
state, signalized an emphatic indorsc'
ment of that progressivcness peculiar
to Kansas, the insurgents OF Chanutte
wish to voice one regret. We re,
greet that you did not lend more OF
your time and elequence to Campbell

might have met the defeat and repu'
diation they so richly deserve.
Both Miller and Scott, i'll whose dis
tricts Cannon spoke, were beaten.

WILL the leaning Tower of Pisa fol-
low the Campanile of Venice That is
the question which is now engaging the
attention of an architectural commits
sion, says The Journal, OF Rome.
The tower is sinking, and there can be
no doubt of the fact, and the commits
sion was appointed in order to avert 4
catastrophe. The first step taken by
the architects was to remove the chimes
from the belfry which weighed several
tons. They have also made the state
ment that contrary to popular beliei
the tower, now nearly Il thousand
years old, was not built TO lean, but
acquired it's present position through

Minneapolis, Dec. 22.-Norval Baptie
the famous Bathgate, N. D., ice skater
who at present is at the ice palace In
Chicago, sent a message to the manag-
ers of the Hipprodrome rink yesterday
in which he stated that he was willing
at any time to meet the now wonder
from across the waters, Majoe Ohlom
Baptie also said he was willing to back
himself for neat little side bet that
he could trim the new wonder from
across the pond.
If the Hippodrome stages the race
between these two men 1t should prove
to be one of the best racing events
that could be put on.
Oholm is a new man in this coun
try, but Is credited with some miles
and half miles done in remarkably
fast time across the water, and II
might prove that Baptie would find
that he would have ito accept defeat
from a younger man. as have SO many
of the other fellows before him.
However, judging from the marks
that Baptie has been hanging up this
winter the miles will be done in time
very near that of the worlds records
before the little favorite Is defeated
