Lincoln, April 21. The chemist at Ann Arbor to whom was submitted an analysis of the contents of the stomach of John Sheedy, the murdered man, has finally completed his work and re ported. The result is one that will probably save Mrs. Sliced y from a felon's punishment, as the chemist de clares that there is no trace whatever of poison in the stomach of the mur-d-jred man. He adds, however, that morphine might havo been given, but as the evidences of that drug pass away In a few hours of course he could find no trace of it in the stomach. It U therefore thought that the death of Sheedy was caused either by morphiu'J or by the blow from the cune in tho hands of Monday McFarland. One or two of the physicians who e.iwSheedy boforo dent'idic'are that ho showed evidences of morphine poifon- ing. As tho physicians who held the post mortem found no blood clot in the brain the moi-phim; poisoning theory is thought o bo the correct one, but as there is t.othing to prove it Mrs. SheoJy will probably go free. - . - A Carcfiilly Planned Deed. New Vokk, April 21. A young couple registered at the Grand Union hotel Sunday morning as "P. B. Brand and wife," and were assigned to a room on the third floor. This evening at 8:30 oclock they were found locked in each others arms, cold in death. They had employed the fam iliar method of inhaling gas through rubber tubes held in the mouth to bring them to an untimely end. On tho woman's breast lay a largo and bjautiful boijtiotof roses. This showed conclusively that tho self murder hud been carefully planned by the couple, as it was in many respects what the reported suicide of the Archduke ltu dolph was like. and of which the couple pie had evidently thought. Tho man Mas ab.Mil twenty-five years of ayo and t!io woman was twenty-two. Tho cou lo left four hitters. Their o itents have not been made known, and no cause has been learned for the rush deed, but there is little doubt that there will be developed a romance. Mrs. Mutter, to whom one of the let ters was addressed, was aeon tonight but rt f isod to tuik of tho affair. Mm said she knew the couple and that the young man had registered his name 0 irrectly. In, she, gave tho impression that the wo nun was nut wife. I rat i u red Hie Hkull. 8l llos. Sell.

CONCESSIONS TO CUBA. Tbe New Consrutlon rermlla the Knlrj of Amerlran I'rodurta I'rart Iralljr Free of Duly Abolition of th. Tarlft tm Flour Utlier Foreign M.we. Maprid, April 21 The reciprocity convention between Spain and the Unit ed States provides in return for the priv ilege of free entry into the United States of Antilles sugars, molasses, coffee and hides, and a reduction of the duty on tea. America will obtain ex emption from duties on most of her raw and manufactured products and a re duction of tariff ou cereals and flour. Negotiations were protracted on cereals, flours and oils, including petroleum and lard. The same question in regard to tobacco was also raised, but, not coining within the scope of the reciprocity sec tion of the American tariff, was put aside. Premier Canovas offered a protracted resistance to the abolition of the tariff on flour, owing to the protests of .Span ish traders. Eventually the representa tions that American reciprocity would lie impossible without the free admis sion of American cereals induced Pre mier Canovas to assent to such a reduc tion in tariff that will place American flour utKHi nearly an equal footing with (Spanish flimr. Kantander merchants declare that taking into considera tion the cost of transportation, American flour will crush out the Hpanish product in the (Spanish West Indies. Cuba now consumes ooo.OoO barrels of flonr yearly chiefly Hpauish which enters free of duty and pays for it $13 ier barrel. Trade in American flour, burdened with the ex tra duty of 20 jier cent, since 1MB has been completely wijied out to the ad vantage of the Spanish prodect. Under the new convention the enty of Ameri can flour will be practically free of dot, will lower the price to about fl er bar rel and will extinguish the exportation of Spanish flour, while increasing the Cuban consumption to 1, 000,000 barrels yearly, all ot which will be American product. If the pressure of the Spanish inter ests had not been counteracted by the demands of the Cuban commission Can ovas would have declined to make such concessions. The prospect of a danger ous tension of the relations of Spain with Cuba and Porta Hico, resulting possibly in a civil war, will oblige the government to sacrifice home industries to colonial interests. Under the new convention America will obtain a kind of zollvcrein with the Spanish Antilles. Her wheat, beans, flour, lard, petrol eum, manufactured products and ma chinery will enter practically free of duty. Among other Spanish exports olive oil will le replaced by American lard, and beans, now exported to Cuba in largo quantities, will cease to lie sent, The advantages resulting to Cuba will be great, but it is impossible to esti mate tiie injury to Spanish trade. Th. Wlllmighuy BHuire. London, April 21. The Telegraph, commenting on the Willonghby seizure, says the Portuguese goveyiment ap pears to invite a visit from the English fleet. Both Tho News and Standard, in com menting upon the seizure of the Wil longhby expedition, say that Portugal is goading England to the utmost limits allowable even to a weak power. The Standard says President Harrison's ut terances during his tour have a "rule Brittania" air, which betray his parent age and are by no means unpleasant to the English ear, and thev are confes sions of failure. At the fast elections home protection was all-suflicient for the Republicans, but now foreign mar kets must be opened. In AtiKtrlM. London, April 21. A Vienna dis patch says that Count Tuafo is accused of favoring the anti-Jewish movement in order to draw the anti-Semites to his support.

Ohio Brethren Subscribe Liberally to Aid the Kan. a. Farmrra. . t . 'T- T t.l ATI Histw, April xi. ine L.awierani i of Ohio have adopted a practical way of assisting their impoverished brethren on the Kansas frontier, and in their good work they are receiving substan tial assistance from the Lutherans at Atchison. Some time ago the Ohio fynod appointed the Rev. C. Meyer of lierudon, Kan., to purchase seed wheat for distribution in such counties as Cheyenne, Thomas, Rawlins and others in the northwest corner of the state. The synod made aliberal subscription to the fund, and Mr. Meyer wa authorized to collect more from charitable people. Three weeks ago he hauled twelve wagon loads of wheat to his people in Thomas county. This came mainly from the Lutheran congregations at Strut ton anl Trenton, Neb. Since then he has visited all the other counties in his district and distributed seed. Much of the seed was given by pros perous farmers of Nebraska, but the most of it was purchased with money sent from the east or raised by Mr. Meyer. The congregations of the Ohic synod sntiftcribed over fi.ooo in cash in aid of Mr. Meyer's charity. THE BEECH ER MONUMENT. A Kile ftelected In Front of the Hrooklyr C ity Hall. Nkw York, April 1. The Brooklyn park commissioners, the Bcecher monu ment committee and Sculptor J. A, Ward met in front of the Brooklyn city hall to select a site for the Beecher monument. Mr. Ward thought the monument would show to the b"wt ad vantage on the green in front of th city hall, midway between the two floral urns and about fifteen feet from the coping. He also suggested that the statue should lie placed with the face toward the city hall htejm, The monu ment committee believed that Mr. Ward, who is the sculptor commis sioned to do the work, knew what was best, and reported his suggestion favor ably to the park board then and there. Then the nark commissioners held a meeting and adopted the spot suggested by Mr. Ward as the site. Tiie superin tendent of parks, who was present, re ceived instructions at once to have the ground prepared for the foundation of the pudental without loss of time. The monument is to be unveiled on June 11. RUMORED BURLINGTON DEAL. The Dradttood Central to lie I'lirrhased by the H. and M. Company. Deadwoud, H. D., April 21. Presi dent Perkins, of the Chicago, Burling ton and Quincy railroad, accompanied by Messrs. Wittam and Callen, director of the same company, arrived in the city and spent the morning inspecting the Deadwood Central railroad, which has just completed its line to the mining districts of Bald mountain and Ruby basin. It is ru mored in local railroad circles that a deal is pending by which the LVadwood Central and all its rights of way are to be sold to tbe Burlington and Missouri, a part of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy system, and that the visit of the officials of tbe latter road is really a preliminary to the conclusion of nego tiations. The consideration for tho Ueadwood Central will be 1,000,000. Urate of Cut. Weeks. New Yohk, April 21. Col. Henry Astor Weeks, died of pneumonia at his residence.

All Conimaails that Hare Ilree Tout Vrara at Una Point la lie Stored Ki perlmental free lellery Post poiied tbe Argument. Wasbisutos. April 21. The attor ney general has received a letter from the district attorney at New Orleans, stating that there is much difficulty in securing evidence as to the nationality of the men lynched by the New Orleans mob. The district attorney says that the affair lias left the community in each an excited frame that those who could tell the most will tell the least. He had no federal grand jury to aid him in ferreting out the facts, and he must get at them through the aid of de tectives or through tbe voluntary con sent of parties to give their evidence.The Italians of the locality who know most almut the antecedents of their fellow Italians who were lynched are naturally disinclined to give voluntary testimony against their countrymen or those who were associated with them. The dis trict attorney rejsirts, therefore, that he is necessarily hamiered and must proceed slowly. His report was expect ed a week ago, but his letter indicates that he will need some days aud perhajis some weeks before forwarding the in formation upon which Secretary Blaine and tbe president will supplement the action they have tbos far taken. The attorney general is yet confined to his house with la grippe and a boil, but is fant recovering, aud expects to take personal charge of tbe New Orleans in quiry by the latter part of the week.

(inboth then went to tho next room and thrust the stiletto Into the neck of old Chincella, meaning to end th father-in-law's life with one blow.
