Helperatn Attempt In Kill a Deputy.
Ltnr.nrv. Ma, Nov. 30 About 4:34
o'clock yesterday afternoon, William
Cnrr, murdorerof his 3-year-old dough
ter, Helle, uttemptod to commit sul
cldn by swallowing pounded glass.
Ho fought desperately against reme
dial measures and had to be choked
into submission. Dr. Sovler, who Is
attending him, does not nay whether
or not Carr will recover, but it is
probable that he will.
Carr's wife called to sco him yester
day afternoon, and Deputy .Sheriff Ed
Cnvo took Carr up to the sheriff's
ofllce that he might talk tohor. Cuvo
left the two there with Night Watch
man Will Wymoro and went
down to tho jail to see it Carr
had made any new plans. The
prisoners told Cave that Carr
had takon n bottle of medtclue
belonging to ono of tho prisoners Sat
urday night and, after pouring tho
medicine on tho floor, had poundod tha
bottle until tho glass was reduced
almost to powder. Carr put thn
pounded glass Into a tobacco sack nnd
went back to his bunk and went to
sleep. The prisoners wcro afraid to
say anything about It to the ofllccrs,
and did not nny anything until Can
was up In the sheriff's ofllce.
Just before Carr wns taken to tho
sheriff's ofllce, he went Into the closet
with n cup of water in Ills hand. He
took something out of his pocket,
poured It Into the cup nnd drained Hi
contents. He then walked upstair;
and talked to his wife. When Cava
learned of Carr's queer actions ho took
him back to tho Jail nnd went
for Dr. Sevlor. Tho doctor requested
Carr to take uu omattc, uud lm
refused in very strong terms.
The doctor then gave hltn
a hypodermic Injection designed to
make him throw tho glass up. A few
minutes Inter ho tried to give him an
other, and Carr grew threatening in
his atlttude and looks and refused tu
permit It. Cnvo left tho jail to get
some officers to assist This loft tho
doctor ntono with Carr, who picked up
a chair and started nt Sevlor, but did
not strike hltn. Then ho said ho would
kill Cave when ho came back.
Cuvo soon returned with Officers
Thompson and Wymorc. Carr lifted
the chair to brain Cave, but Cavo was
too quick for him. He leaped and
caught Carr by tho throat, und tbo
two other officers rushed in to assist
Carr, however, fought desperately, and
kept tho three men off several minutes.
Flunliy they downed him ami Carr
was choked into submission. Ho
begged Cnvo not to choko htm to death.
It Is evidently his desire to havo tho
ofllccrs shoot him. A second injection
was given. Carr, but tho glass failed
to come up. Sovler said that he could
not say whother Carr would recover
or unt, It Ih thought that ho will re
cover, as ho has Mich a strong constb
tutlou.

URGES EVICTION STRONG.
Indian Agent Wlailom lleports The In
truder. Mast do.
WAflinxoTO.v, Nor. 30. In lib report
to tho interior department, I). M.
Wisdom, agent of tho Union Indian
agency, In tho Indian territory says;
"Tho intruders must ga Tho In
trudcri havo tnado tho Indians doubt
the good faith of the government and
mndo It moro dlfllcult to treat on
tho mora Important issues of
allotment nnd the breaking up
of tribal autonomy in tho nation to
which the Individual Indian belongs.
A sound public policy demands tho
eviction of all declared intruders, nud
any mensuro of expediency on the pnrt
of tho department that temporizes
with tho intruder or postpones his re
moval on mere technicalities is falla
cious and misleading. Let nil tho
treaties be enforced and all tho safe
guards secured to tho Indians bo up
held In letter and in spirit, and then
the Indians will mako liberal conces
sions and ncccpt without murmuring
that changed condition which con
fronts them."
Tho report deals with a number of
Important Indian developments. It
says the clamor for a change in tribal
autonomy has produced Indian unrest
and disquietude, resulting in a deter
mined purposo on tho pnrt of many of
tho fullbloods, who will act in their
Individual capacity, to emigrate to
either Mexico or South America and
thero purchnse now homes for them
selves nnd families. This movement,
the report says, may grow to tho pro
portion of a colony, and it Is under
stood liberal grants of land can
bo secured from tho countries men
tioncd. "This movement," ho saya,
"may sottlo tho Indian problem tn a
degree, and thus happily rollcvo tho
Dawes commission, congress nnd
others who havo combatted with the
question for years. Tho movement
may bo chimerical or visionary, but I
am disposed to present it seriously."
Discussing tho judicial complications
In tho territory, the report Htamps tho
chango mndo in putting deputy United
States marshals back on a fee basis as
a great mistake. It takes a roseate
view of tho possibilities of success of

Vikxxa. Dec. 1. That tho re
assembling of tho llelchsraih will bo
marked by a repetition of tho recent
disorders despite tho retirement of
Premier Undent Is certain. The Klght
Ists have formed a union to oppose tho
new government nnd will cspectnllv
object to nny proposal for tho repeal
of the langungo ordinance. The Left
ists will demand the repeal of tho lan
guage ordinances and Insist on tho
resignation of Dr. Abrnhamovlcs,
president of tho lower houso of tho
Itelchsrath, und proposo to renew tho
demonstrations.
That Austria is trembling on the
brick of revolution is acknowledged
by nearly everyone, but pooplo out
side of the em I tire do not understand
the gravity of the situation. Tho Uer-'
mans in the empire propoo to light '
against tho domination of the Poles '
nnd Czechs who, they know, bnto '
them with undying bitterness. In
some of the provinces ticrmuus nre
virtually outlaws In business nud so
cloty. The struggle In the Itelchsrath only
reflects the conflict all over the country
and '.very ono from the emperor down,
expects nn .outbreak, which may sur
pass tho revolution of IMS, for thero
nro too mauy conflicting divisions in
tho empire to bo reconciled for nny
length of tlmo.
The capital and all tho (icrmnn
provinces received tho news of tho fall
of the liadcnl cabinet with great re
joicings, evidenced by illuminations
and torchlight processions in many
cities. At monster incetlnt-s, Soclllst

Washinoto.v, Dec. 1. Senor Dupuy
do Lome, tho Spanish minister bus
received long dispatches from Madrid
showing in detail tlio plan of autono
my which Spain Is about to npply to
Cuba. Speaking of tho now laws, the
minister said to-day:
"If tho now homo rulo law Is com
pared with tho systems prevailing in
tho sovernl states of tho United States
it will be found that Cuba Is to havo a
far greater measure of control of her
own affairs than do the several states
In this country. For Instance, she is
given control of her postal affairs,
control of her banking and currency,
control of her customs.
"Thero is another featuro which
should bo noted. For tho first tlmo
tho government has said ofllcially that
Spain will assume a part of the debt
of Cuba. Tho payment of this debt Is
to bo arranged by tho cortos, but it Is
to bo on a basis satisfactory to both
parties."

MORE GERMAN WAR SHIPS
The Kaiser Makea u I'ortoual Appeal
Speech to I'ttrll.tmcnt.
Jlr.nr.i.v, i)0(.. L Kmporor William
opened tho session of tlio rclchstag
to-day for tho first tlmo slnco 1804 and
read the spocch from tho throne.
Tho nnvy occupied tho principal
place in tho speech. Tho passage on
this subject was as follows: "The de
velopment of tho German navy does
not correspond with Germany's mis
lion nt sen, undilu tho event of war
like complications It would not sutllco
to assure tho security of tho home
ports und coasts against a blockado
of moro extensive operations
upon tho pnrt of the enemy.
Neither has it kept paco with tho
rapid growth of German truns-occanic
Interests. While German trade is par
ticipating increasingly in tho world's
sxchange of merchandlso the number
of our war vessels docs not sufllco to
afford our countrymen abroad tho
measure of protection corresponding
with (lormauy's position nor tho sup
port which can only bo secured by a
display of power. Although It Is not
our object to vie with tho maritime
powors of tho first rank, Germany
must nevertheless bo placed In n posi
tion to maintain by means of prepared
ness at sea her prestige among the
people of tho globe."
Koforrlng to tho naval demonstra
tion iu Kiao-Chou bay, China, the em
peror said: "The murder of the mis
tlonarlcs In Ch lim and the attacks up--n
mission stations which havo been
placed under my imperial protection,
tnd their welfare, which I havo at
heart, have compelled mo to cause my
quudron in Eastern Asia to proceed
to Klao-Chou bay, tho point nearest
the scene of the outrage, and laud
troops in order to obtain full repara
tion und security against n recurrence
af similar lamentable events."
Touching the general political situa
tion His Majesty said: "Our political
relations with foreign states are in
jvory way gratifying and valuable
juarautces of tho maintenance of
those rotations have again been uf
forded me by meetings with tha allied
and friendly monarch, as well ns by
tho brilliant and cordial receptions
accorded mo lu my visits to l'cterhof
nd Iludn Pesth."
Tho speech concluded: "All indica
tions justify tho expectation that,
with God's help, wo may in tho future,
as in th past, look forward to tho
peaceful development of Europe and
the German futherlaud."
GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS.
Another Large Dellclt In Uovernmeat
Reveoaes for November.
Wasiusoto.v, Dec. 1. Tho forth
coming November statement of tho
government revenues and oxpenses
will show receipts during November
of about 825,000,000. This Is a trifling
improvement over October, when the
receipts wero 8J4.301.41fi. Tho deficit
thus far during November stands at
33,572,100, which Is larger than was
expected.
The deficit for tho fiscal year stands
nt SlO.iHl, l''i, the receipts having been
Sl','7,701. liio, und tho expenditures
SIV-l.US'JJSO.
Tho receipts from customs so far
this fiscal year undoubtedly will fall
considerably short of tho estimates
made by the managers of tho now tar
iff bill during its pendency In Congress.
At that tlmo it was estimated that
customs would yield about S180.O0O,O0O
during tho first year. The Indications
now aro said to bo that the receipts
from this source will not aggregate
moro than 805,000,000.
