she had assisted In poisoning her father,
and at the same time Implicating her
aunt, Mrs. Ellen Leader. This letter fell
into the hands of the detectives as did
also the correspondence following. In
her confession she said that the poison
used to kill her father was purchased
by her aunt, Mrs. Leader, and that
Mrs. Leader administered several doses,
but the one that caused her father'!
death and the last dose given was by
her own hands. The object of the mur
der was for the purpose of getting the
Insurance which Smith carried on his
life. The amount was $6,000. but after
the conviction of Mrs. Smith for mur
der the insurance companies refused to
pay the policies. Smith was one of the
oldest engineers on the Rock Island

CUBANS PLAN A COUP,
F.i pec t to Ask Recognition of Thelf
Provisional Government.
Washington, April 1. The success
es which are said to be attending the
operations of the Insurgents In Cuba
will, If they are continued, soon lead to
a determined effort to secure recogni
tion from the United States. While no
communication, either formal or Infor
mal, has as yet been received at the
state department, its arrival Is not un
expected.
It has always been the policy of the
United States to recognize de facto gov
ernments. If, therefore, the Cuban in
surgents can create a provisional gov
ernment, they will have taken a long
step forward In the direction of securing
recognition as belligerents. This coun
try also demands, as a rule, that the
new government shall issue currency
and shall be In possession of a consider
able portion of the territory over which
It assumes control.

SHOWS HEALTHY GAIN
TRADE IMPROVEMENT SEEMS
TO BE A REALITY.
The Lifting Begins at the Bottom
Encouraging Reports Received by B.
O. Dun b Co. Failures Reported fof
the Week.
New York, April 1. R. G. Dun's
Weekly Review of Trade says:
"Signs of improvement are all the
more satisfactory because neither ac
companied nor apparently produced by
a speculative craze. Dealings in stocks,
cotton and wheat are not diverting all
the interest and capital from productive)
industry and legitimate trade, though
these products are all a shade stronger.
But railroad earnings, bank clearings,
and industrial indications are more en
couraging this week. It is a remark
able feature that the lifting this year
begins at the bottom, so to speak; raw
materials are raised before there Is any
larger demand for their finished pro
ducts, a thing not often done with suc
cess. Higher wages for coke workers
have been followed by a formal ad
vance of 40 cents In the price of coke,
and now Bessemer pig has risen 35
cents at Pittsburg and 25 cents at Phila
delphia. It is a sign of strength that
an eastern mill has secured in compe
tition with British makers, who had an
advantage of $2.50 In freights, the con
tract for 12,000 tons rails for a Cali
fornia road, and other contracts for
about the same quantity have been
placed.
"Raw cotton has been hoisted until a
stronger market for goods resulted with
some advances in prices. The tone of
the dry goods market has been de
cidedly improved, though it does not
yet appear that rail distribution has
correspondingly Increased. But stocks
of retail dealers are light, and when
they feel that prices are bound to rise
the demand may grow rapidly.
"In the woolen trade cancellations in
some lines have been startling In mag
nitude, many mills which supposed
their whole product sold finding them
selves in great need of customers.
Quite large orders have been taken by
foreign agents for finer worsted and
woolens, and all the way from the poor
est shoddy to the best goods the com
petition will doubtless be sharp for
more than one season. Sales of wool
for the week have been quite large,
5,829,800 pounds, against 4,079,200 last
year, partly because a quantity held
for a loan was forced to sale. But sales
in four weeks have been 19,546,200
pounds, against 17,919,000 last year, and
21,133,400 in 1892.
"Cotton speculation reached a halt
with the enormous realizing of last
week, and sales have been a third
smaller, with no advance. But the sup
ply of cotton now In sight or in spinners'
hands Is over 2,200,000 bales more than
the world's requirements for this year,
with receipts for five months yet to
come. Guesses about the condition of
wheat have varied widely this week
and prices are not much higher, tht
net advance being 1 cents. Atlantlo
exports, flour Included, have been 1,391,
091 bushels, against 1,446,613 last year,
and meanwhile western receipts for
the month have been 7,747,361 bushels,
against 7,084,513 last year. Corn Is a
cent lower, while pork is 75 cents per
barrel and lard and hogs 15 cents per
hundred pounds higher.
"The failures this week have been
234 in the United States, against 238
last year, and 42 In Canada, against 30
last year. But the recent increase In
dicates past rather than recent condi
tions of unsoundness."
STATE AUDITOR ACCUSED.
Minister Alleges Fraud in the Conduct
of an Iowa Loan Association.
Burlington, Iowa, April 1. State
Auditor C. G. McCarthy Is the subject
of sensational charges preferred against
him at Des Moines by Rev. E. C. Spin
ney. The latter was recently Indicted
for alleged libel against the state andl
tor. 1 1. t jr: - it h m bps applica
tion for an order of court compelling
McCarthy to produce the books of ac
count of the Iowa Savings and Loan
association. Spinney claims the books
will show McCarthy has impaired the
capital stock to the extent of $125,000;
t't 1 lias expenled oer $20 000 more
than the' by-laws of the association
permit, and that he is guilty of issuing
statements to the effect that the asso
ciation Is earning 23 per cent dividends,
when, In fact, there never have been any
dividends. Sensational developments
are expected.
Ex-Consnl Waller's Case.
Washington, April 1. The Presl
dent, after a consultation with his cabi

Cambell at St. Louis will be looked to

instructed to lay the matter before the
French foreign office and ask for an ex
planation of the course pursued by ths
officials in Madagascar.

ferdams quickly expanded and closed

lose has been tested in a naval battle.
