Alloys OBRIST KILLED
Musician and Woman Singer
Found Dead Together.

Stuttgart. Germany, June 2.-Dr. Alloys
Obrist, a we'll known musical conductor,
and Anna Suffer, a court singer, were
found dead together here to-day. Both
had been shot, and there were indications
that one had been murdered and that the
other had committed suicide.
The discovery of the bodies of the musi-
clan and his companion was a shock not
only to his friends In musical circles, but
to the public at large. Considerable mys-
tery surrounds the affair, but the impress
sion is strong that the same hand killed
both.
Dr. Obrist was born at San Ramo, Italy,
I'm 1861 He was of Swiss-Scotch descent
His mother came from the north Of Scot
land, while members of his fathers family
were engaged either In the government
service or in agriculture near Zurich for
six hundred years.
DIR. Obrist had made Weinar his home
since 1875, and for many years had occu-
pied the Villa Alisa- He was director OF
the Liszt Museum and was appointed
rovaI conductor OF opera In 1907 by the
King of Wurtemberg. He was the author
of several noteworthy contributions TO
musical literature.
New-York tribune., 1910-06-30

Whether in private life or in his intercourse
with his Senatorial colleagues. his courtesy
was unfailing Even in the heat of debate
and often under provoking circumstances, he
never failed to submit to Interruptions and
TO make polite response to inquiries and OBJ
tections His treatment of his friends was
worthy OF the best days Of the Old Do
minion. He was the senior minority mem
Der of the Senate Committee on Finance,
and held high place IN many others OF the
most important committees. He was chair
man of the Committee Of Private Land
Claims.
Senator Daniels character was shown
when he assumed personal debts of his
father amounting to 10000. for which there
was no moral claim upon the son. He felt
Ii his duty, however, to discharge these,
and on mis- sixty-fifth birthday had the
pleasure of making the last of the pay
ments.
Major Daniel was loyal Confederate
veteran, having been for number of years
commander of Dearing Camp, at Rust
burg. His last public utterance was be-
fore Garland-Rodes Camp. of Lynchburg,
when that organization commemorated the
recent anniversary of the birth of General
.R. E. Lee.
On November "a. 1859, Senator Daniel mar
ried Julia Elizabeth Murreil, daughter of
DR.. E. II. Murrel. of this city, who, with
four children, survives him.

AMERICA AND MANCHURIA
State Department Hopes for
Speedy News of New Treaty.

washington. June 29.-The State De-
partment Is without any official informa-
ton regarding the reported conclusion
of a treaty between Russia and Japan
regulating the railways and administra-
tion In Manchuria-
The officials are loath TO believe that
the scope of the treaty has been accu-
rately described. in view OF the ex-
pressed undertaking on the par. of
Japan, as set out In the famous Root
Takahira note, to consult with America
before any change which may affect
American interests is made in the status
of Manchuria.
1t is assumed that the department will
be informed by one of the parties to the
treaty of its exact scope, in order to re-
lieve 1t of the unpleasant necessity of
making direct inquiry.

Mr.. Mann was amusing, but his method
