SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. r , DUTY TO PROTECT THE WEAR Einperor "William Faithful to the Traditions of His Ancestors and Allies , KAISIR'S ' LATEST MISSION ON EARTH OH III * Parliament n Mitigation of > Koclnl Differences unit tha llullng Down of the Unruly Opening of the ItolchstiiR , BERLIN , Dec. B. Emperor William , wearing a British uniform , this morning visited the prince ot Wales and the duke of York , who returned his majesty's visit an hour later , and then started for England. After the departure ot the prince of Wales and the duke ot York , Emperor William donned a Prussian uniform and prepared to open the Reichstag. The radala ! are furious that the monarch docs not come to Parliament , but that In stead , his majesty must go to the castle for the ceremony. The course of his majesty , Bays the Frclsslnlgo Zcltung , shows how modest al part parliamentarism ho'.ds In Germany. The session of the Reichstag was opened at noon In the Rlttersaal of the castle in stead of In- the usual white hall , which Is being renovated. Emperor William In per son read his speech from the throne. It was as follows : "Honorable Gentlemen : In the name of my exalted allies , I bid you welcome at the beginning of your constitutional work. You will transfer your labors to your new home , which after ten years of earnest work is now upon the point pf completion , a monument ment of our national industry. May God's blessing rest upon the house , nnd may the greatness and welfare of the empire be the goal for which all who are called upon to work within Its walls will aim with self- denying loyalty. I entertain this wish all the more strongly In view ot the economic and social political tasks which must bo solved with your co-operation. FAITHFUL TO TRADITIONS. "Faithful to the traditions of our an cestors , my exalted allies and myself re gard It as our foremost duty to the state to protect the weaker classes and to assist them In attaining higher economic and mora development. The duty of the state be comes more Imperative as the struggl. for existence upon the part of certain sec tions of the people grows more serious. The federal governments will continue their efforts to promote feelings of content among the people by mitigating economic and socla differences. "But If these efforts are to succeed It appears necessary to oppose more effectually than hitherto th ? pernicious conduct of those who attempt to disturb the executive power In the fulfillment of Its duty. Experience lias shown that the existing legislation does not afford the means required by the federal governments. You will therefore consider means of supplementing our common law > nnd a necessary bill will be submitted to you without delay , which , chiefly by extending the present penal provisions , will Incraase the protection of public order. "I entertain the confident hope that ycu will lend your energetic co-operation * o this serious task. " His majesty next alluded to the prejudicial effect of the abuses of bourse speculation upon national prospeilty , and said to remedy these evils a bljl was being prepared which would probably bo submitted during the course of the session. Continuing , the em peror said : "The same U the case In regard to 'a bill which is Intended to protect the trading community against competition which does not scruple to employ unfair mejns and which will contribute to strength ening confidence in business and commerce. ' 'In ' consequence of the change In tbo financial situation to the dis advantage-of the Individual states , which , In stead of receiving , as heretofore , surpluses from the Imperial revenues , have been lately called upon to contribute to the Imperial expenditures , the creation ot such sources of revenue has bscomo necessary. This op pressive state of affairs can only bo partially remedied by an Increase ot the stamp tax and the opening of other fresh sources renders " dors the revenue Indefensible. To this end a bill for the reform of the tobacco taxation will be submitted to you. CONFIDENT OF PEACE. "To my lively satisfaction , my confidence In the maintenance ot European peace ha been further strengthened during the st few years. Faithful to the spirit of ar alliances , we cultivate good and friendly re lations with all the powers. "During the courfce of the last few months two neighboring empires have been deeplj stirred by grave events. Germany has sin cerely Joined In the sympathy which was evinced on nil sides , nnd which once in on pnvo evidence of the solidarity ot the humar feeling and peaceful wishes. In the death inof the emperor ot Russia I deplore the loss o a friend and a tried co-operator In works o peace. " Emperor William's delivery of this speed was Impressive and was accompanied b gestures. Several times ho raised his volci and looked sternly around , especially at th uV < passages In regard to the agrarian questloi y nnd the revolutionists nnd during his patlietl V references to the late czar. I His majesty afterwards went to the Relchs I tag building In order to formally perforn ) the ceremony of laying Us corner stone , whlcl 1 Is combined with the dedication ot the build _ Ing and the formal opening of the new ses ! A , slon of the Reichstag. r" Immense crowds ot people were gatherei along the route and outside the new bulldlm and cheered the emperor nnd the Germai reigning princes upon their way there am upon their arrival. Prince Hohcnlohethe / chancellor , am Field Marshal Dluementhnl. chief of the general innit oral staff of the Prussian army , who Is nbou SO years of age , were accorded an especial ny ! warm reception. The Imperial carriages arrived at the ne\ Reichstag building at 3 o'clock In the after noon. The position sot apart for the roya party , the portal opposite the column o victory , was conspicuous from the fac icty. that It was decorated with a velvet canopy The weather was raw nnd blustering , IUt this did not deter Immense crowds of ptopl * " * from gathering everywhere In the neighbor licoil ot the now building. WAS A URILLIANT SUCCESS. The dedication ceremonies passed off with out a hitch. The cccno was most brllllanl A large dais had been constructed for the ise ot the Imperial family and highly favore 1 guests , and over it was a canopy topped b the Imperial crown. Beneath this canopy th emperor and fjn'press and the Gcirmoi r ' princes were gathered. Opposite this struc ture were the military and other notabilities as well as the members ot the illplomati corps. Prlnca Hohonlohe , when ovorythln was ready , advanced toward the rmperc with agile and sprfngy step and asked hi majesty's permission for the ceremonies t begin. The prince spoke In a clear bi strident voice. The ceremony was a tedious affair , all tli participants climbing down from the dais t the stone and giving It tlireo taps. At the : , conclusion of this ceremony three "hocha V for the emperor were given , the band playc the national anthem and his majesty and tl lirperlal party retired to an Inner chamlx ot the Reichstag building. The crowds the gradual ! ) ' dispersed , while tha emperor > i cpectcd the building thoroughly , under tl BuWance ot Hcrr Wallet , the chief arch tect. tect.Tlio absence ot General von Caprlvl , tl former chancellor , frpm today's ct-rcmonli , was much commented upon.

The offi cials all denied the report , but officers of the Empress of China threw light on the sub ject. Ever since the Empress boats have been on the route their guns- have been In the arsenal at Hong Kong , but were never placed In position , as the mountings are not there. The latter .have now arrived , being somewhat hurried out from England on ac count of the war.

SHOWS SIGNS OF ANIMATION Foreign Affairs Orcatos the First Stir in tha Session in the Senate. VEST ACKNOWLEDGES HIS CONVERSION I'ormcrly Opposed. Cloturc , but Was Com pelled to Acknowledge. It Had ilo. coino u Necessity Allen Asks .Sumo Questions. WASHINGTON , Dec. D. The senate showed Its first signs of animation today , and , al though the session lasted only until 2:30 : , there was time enough for several brisk de bates. Mr. Vest's efforts to secure a change In the rules In order to expedite business was the chief event of the day , Mr. Vest , who was formerly opposed to cloture , today an- ncunced his conversion. Another feature of the day was the sharp debate on the China- Japan questions brought out by Mr. Lodge's resolution calling for Information as to the torturing of Japanese students who were under American protection. Mr. Peffer made the first formal speech of the session , criticising from a popullstlc point of view the recent issue of bonds and giving his views on finance. Bills were Introducsd by Mr. Berry , demo crat of Arkansas , to form the territory of Indlanola out of portions of the Indian ter ritory ; by Mr. Dolph , republican of Oregon , to exempt from duty foreign exhibits at the Portland , Ore. , exposition ; by Mr. Hunton , democrat of Virginia , to remit the fines und penalties on the naval ships Yorktown , Balti more , Newark and Philadelphia ; by Mr. Dolph , to forfeit the unearned public lands granted to railroads ; by Mr. McPhcrson , democrat of New Jersey , for an Investigation of the merits of the plan for a unit of labor. The venerable Mr. Morrlll , republican of Vermont , arose at this point and with much earnestness in his tremulous tones stated that on Wednesday ho would address the sen ate on "some marvelous senatorial bills and some quack panaceas for real and Imaginary Illnesses. " The vice president laid before the senate the resolution of Mr. Lodge calling on the secretary of state for Information as lo the exe cutlon of the two Japanese students by Chi nese authorities while the students were under the protection of the United States. Mr. Lodge said ho appreciated the delicacy of the question. He reviewed the hideous cruelties to which the Japanese students were subjected while under the protection of this country , and said If the facts were as had been published some one was very much to blame. If they were not this government should be vindicated. Mr. Chandler , republican of New Hamp shire , suggested that as the senator from Alabama , Mr. Morgan , was chairman of the foreign relations committee , It would bo well to know If he saw any objection to securing speedy Information. Mr. Morgan , replying , stated war was now progressing between China and Japan , and It would be unwise to take any action which would appear favorable to one belligerent or the other. Mr. Morgan said his main ob jection to the resolution was that It was pre dicted on an Impeachment of the president or secreary of state. LODGE WARMS UP. Mr.'Lodge answered with much vigor that he had not Intended to present any Impeach ment or make any attacks. "This country has done a good deal of meddling In this China-Japan mix , " said Mr. Lodge , sharply "It began by warning Japan concerning her advances In Corea. From that time we have been meddling , constantly meddling. " Mr. Morgan stated that n meeting of the foreign relations committee would be called at once to consider this resolution If It was sent to the committee. On .his assurance i was read. Mr. Pefler , populist of Kansas , then secured the flocr for a long and carefully prepared speech , which He read from printed sheets. It referred to his resolution calling for in formation as to the action of the secretary of the ticasury In Issuing bonds and arraigning public officials for perfidy and usurpation of authority. At the close of Mr. Peffer's speech the . resolution was adopted without division. It asks the Judiciary committee to Inquire into the action of the secretary of thn treasury In Issuing bonds. Another resolution by Mr. Peffer for Information from the president as to the use of United States troops nt Chicago 1 during the Pullman strike brought out considerable siderable debate on the question of Its refer ence to committee. Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire supported Mr. Peffer's contention. "Now that , the presi dent had congress on his hands , " said Mr. Chandler , "It would be well to get all this and other public information at the earliest - losslble moment so congress could proceed to - deal with them. The resolution was finally efcrred to the Judiciary committee. . VEST ACKNOWLEDGED CONVERSION. Mr. Vest of Missouri then addressed the senate on the need of a change In the senate rule. He modified the form of his previous esolutlon to the committee on rules U to report by December 15 a plan for closing debate. Mr. Vest said he had formerly op posed cloture , but he was now convinced cloture , ture was Inevitable , and that It should be effected as soon as possible. The question was thoroughly understood , having been de- jated for years , so that ths senate was In a position to act at once. When the senate numbered forty members there was no need of cloture , but with the senate. Increasing so that its membership would soon reach 100 , It ; was Imperatively necessary to have a rule bringing debate to a close. In reality the present rules stifle debate. Senators will not ; debate on a question when they recoznlze the liopeless opposition under which they labor. "These rules encourage parliamentary black- mall , " declared the senator. "Amendments to bills are offered under of the deliberate threat that If tlipy arm not ac - cepted an indefinite opposition will bo In augurated. Bills of vast public Interest lin J. gered hero until they were dead , and the people nt < ple were weary and disgusted with the spec - tacle of a powerless senate. Even when the bills passed after a contest they were so dis credited as to have no moral support from the public. " Mr. Vest raid ho had no ulterior purpose of securing the advancement of the separate tariff bills. He would vote for these bills. Dut In the present case his only object . was to secure the change of rules , which was essential and Inevitable. Mr. Harris of Tennessee added his opinion In favor of a change of rules. But he sug gested that the absence from the city of the chairman of the committee on rules , Mr. Blackburn , made It unwise to compel a report of a form of cloture by December 25. Mr. Harris said he would undertake to promise that some tuch resolution would bo presented teen after the return of Mr. Blackburn. "I understand , " said Mr. AlJrlch. "that this a new rule Is not to apply to legislation of this session , nor to the pending tariff bills. " "It applies to everything , " * ald Mr. Vest. "If this rule Is adopted , " asked Mr. Allcr of Nebraska , "will any effort be made towart financial legislation on the lines of the pros Ident's message ? " Mr. Vest said he was not authorized to t < state what would be done In that regard. 's. In order to terminate the random dlicus islon Mr. Harris moved to go Into executlvi ee lon. in Mr. Ransom of North Carolina securec recognition to present the credentials edof Patrick Walsh , re-fleeted as senator ofm Georgia. Arm In arm , Messrs. Walsfl am Hansom went to the desk of the presldlni officer , where the oath of ofllce waj admlnls dl- tered. Mr. Vest gave notice ho would renew ils motion In behalf of the resolution tomorrow ' e . Then the senate went Into executive sessloi and teen after adjourned. llullro.nl rooTTiiu Hill cn\on I'rJference. , WASHINGTON , Dec. -The commltte 2 on rules this morning decided to give toda ; nftcr the second morning ; , nohr nnd each day theraftcr to the consideration of the railroad pooling bill , the order , however , not to Interfere with iirprojtrtatloti bills. roor.iNd im.t > c uaiu ur. Made a Special Onlcr fri'ini Day to Day Until Il po eil r. WASHINGTON , Dec. D. Ho attendance on the floor was again small when the house met at noon today and the Indications pointed to another dull day. Immediately otter the reading of the Journal Mr. English , demo crat of New Jersey , asked unanimous con sent for the consideration of a bill , Mr , Saycrs , democrat Cf Texas , objected , whereupon Mr. English promptly objected tea a resolution offered by Mr , Blair , republican of New Hampshire , calling on the president to furnish the house , If not Incompatible with public Interest , with all correspondence , telegraphic and otherwise , between this country and China , relating to the war be tween China nnd Japan. The resolution wont to the committee on foreign affairs. Mr. English then demanded the regular order of business. In the morning hour Mr. Mcllao of Arkan sas , from the committee on public lands , called up the bill to prevent thei free use of timber on public lands and * to prevent fur ther issue of permits for cutting timber in Wyoming , New Mexico nnd Arizona. The section of the bill repealing- ? act of Match 3 , 1S01 , fixing a limitation of five years against the United States for the Institution of suits to vacate land patents , met sttenu ous opposition and It was amended so a ; , to exempt patents Issued to Individual settlers. As amended the bill was passed. A bill authorizing the secretary of the in terior to .receive unsatisfied military bounty land warrants under the act of 1S5S at the rats of $1.25 per acre tn payment of lands located under subsequent acts was also passed. Mr. Richardson of Tennessee then called up the conference report on the printing bill , which was under consideration yesterday. The report was adopted 136 to B5. Mr. Outhwalte , from the committee on rules , thereupon presented the special order for the consideration of the railway pooling bill each day after the morning hour until disposed of. The order was agreed to with out division. The object ot the bill Is to authorize competing cotnmAn carriers , sub ject to the provisions of the Interstate com merce act , to enter Into contracts for the division of their gross or net earnings and to secure a more expeditious and efficient enforcement of that law. Applications for pooling , together with cbplcs of the con tracts , must , according to the terms of the bill , be filed with the commission , and unless disapproved bscomc operative twenty days after filing. Another section requires an nual reports from railroads , Including an swers to all questions , askfd by the com mission , with fines for refusal. Mr. Patterson of Tennessee , who was in charge of the bill , dwelt al length on the oppressiveness of Illegal fate cutting for the benefit ot large shippers , clt ng as nn exam pie the Armour Deet J'ackJng company a Chicago. That combine , he jsald , handled li. dollars more beef than tile entire cotton crop of the United States ) amounted to. The rates made for this corporation practically drove small competitors froin the field and fixed the price of every bhllock on every farm In the south and west. ; Under the pres ent law , he said , It wa Impossible to sccun convictions for violation .ofthe ( anti-pooling section because both parlies to the cut rate were equally guilty before the law. and on could not be made to 'testily agalfist th other. The pending bill wojld compel test ! mony and did not'aim nt the punlshmen of the clerk or agent , buljnf the railroad com1 " pany Itself. ' , Mr. Cannon did not think administrate functions and responsibilities should bi shouldered on to the courts , but that th revoking of pooling arrangements should bi entirely within the control ot the commission . I'at'ersun'- Upon the conclusion of Mr. remarks the house at 5 o'clock adjourned. TUHKV b" > < < - ' THE STOKY. . Clulin t'io Armenians Were Insurgents bu Wore Not Mistreated. WASHINGTON , Dec. G. The Turkish legation has received thd following com munlcatlon as regards the Armenian troubles : "Towards the end of July last and under the instigation of an Armenian named Hamparzoun ( , the men of ten Armenian villages near Mooch formed eep arate bands , and armed vlth guns , daggers , hatchets and other instruments , attacked the trlba of Dellkan , killed a few men o that tribe , and atterwdrds. fell on the tribe : i of Beklran and Badlkan , . These band i burned alive Hadji , nephew of Burner Ahga , ono of the chiefs of the linkjran tribe , and i not only assaulted Mussulman women of t the village of Kulllguzat , but also put them ' to death In an atrocious manner. Men were also treated In a most ferocious way. Not satisfied with nil those lawless and I criminal proceedings , tjie same bands burned also a few vlllakes Inhabited by Mussulman people. Thanks , however , to the measures taken by the la'wful authorities , the bands In question were dispersed and the Insurgent chief , HampartzQiln , as well as the priest , Mlghlrdltch , of Kozll-Klllsse , and other guilty persons , were arrested and ' brought before Justices. The statement often published in some qf the European papers that some of the regular troops fired on defenseless men and.women is utterly untrue. No Individual carrying no arms was killed. Twenty Insurgents having sur rendered were triated with all possible con sideration , and after their depositions before the legal authorities of Mooch were taken they were given their freedom. It was t..eso twenty Insurgents ' .who Indicated the plain where the chief , Hampartzoun , and his accomplices were hiding. The above facts show that among the Insurgents only twenty surrendered and that with the excep tion of the brigands , who broke In revolt , no one else was ill-treated. rillU'AHING A I'UUKUNCY UILL. Committee on liunklnc'nnil Currency Al ready nt , VTorU. WASHINGTON , Dec * , GAn Important conference of most of the democrats of the house committee- banking- and currency was held after the adjournment of the house today , as a result of which tarly action look Ing to the reporting of 'a ' banking bill In line with the scheme preseijted by Secretary Carlisle In his inessngti vas taken. Chair man Springer said that Secretary Carlisle has Intimated a desire ) to appear before the committee himself and has- suggested the names ot several persona whom It may be well for the committee to call for the pur pose of learning their views. Among the names In the list furnished by Mr. Carlisle were those of ex-Secretary Falrchlld , Horace White of the New York Hvenlng Post , Mr. St. John of New York , and George A. Butler of New Haven , Conn. The menibera presj ent decided to hold a meeting ot the. full committee on next Friday ; when a resolu tion will be offered providing an Invitation be extended to Mr , Carlisle and Mr. Eckeh to appear on Monday and Tuesday respec - tively and the other gentlemen to appear on the remaining days of the week. Effortr will be made to close the hearing by the 15th Inat. , and , according to one member ot the comm.lUee , Immediate wbrk on the preparation of a bill will be begun. Collection of the Income Tax , WASHINGTON , Dec. 6. Secretary Carlisle "had a conference with Commissioner Miller ; ' ot the Interna'l revenue bureau , at which ; - were discussed tie regulations recently pre pared to govern th collection of the Income - come tax. The regulations are very lengthy . and cover every question which la likely to arise In the administration of the law. They are not , however , likely to ba promulgated for some days yet , an tto secretary hai granted the request ot some gentlemen to be heard before the regulations are finally ap . proved. POOLING BILL ENDORSED Interatato Commerce Commission Think it is Advisable , UNIFORM CLASSIFICATION NECESSARY Statistics of tlio Itoad * 'In Operation Ono Hundred anil Fifty-Six In tlio II.uuls of Jlccelvor * Knrnlng * 83,314 Per Mile. WASHINGTON , Dec. G. The Interstate Commerce commission transmitted Its eighth annual report to congress today. The re port says It Is the duty of shippers , railroad managers and citizens generally , to assist the government In running down violations of the statute designed to protect their Inter ests , It recommends the carrying corpora tlons ba made Indictable and subject to fine for violations ot the act , The commission explains the necessity of providing a tingle classification of freights for the whole country , saying that experience has shown the necessity for congressional ac tion , and supports the belief that uniform classification depends upon the passage of a statute requiring Its accomplishment. The report states the railway service , which per tains to shipping , billing and collection of charges , especially as to the crufilc over con nectlng roads , Is conducted with much un certainty , lack of system and regularity , so It justifies charges of gross carelessness und disregard of the rights of the shipping pub lie. Carriers ought to publish their tariff rates and schedules plainly enough , and cm- ploy agents sufficiently skilled to enable them to correctly quote rates to shippers. The fact that carriers undertake , after the collec tion of overcharges , to adjust the same , while right and proper In Itself , does not furnish an excuse or Justification for the practice of over charging to the extent to which It Is carried on. The present method ot adjusting claims of this character is attended with such de lay and vexation to claimants that It Is ex tremely unsatisfactory , resulting In great in justice to shippers and consignees. Under charges also result In grave Injustice. It Is stated the provision of law relating to through routes and rates , on account of the meaning which has been given to It by the courts , Is practically Inoperative , and it Is strongly urged that the law be amended. In order to give effect to the Intention of con gress In respect to this matter. After a lengthy review cf the railroad poolIng - Ing bill the report says : "Wo submit for the consideration of congress that pooling , without other remedial legislation , Is unad- visable. Pooling under conditions to bo ap proved by the commission and rendered capable of easy and direct regulation , with accompanying effective remedial legislation we believe might bo safely tried. " On the government ownership of rail roads the ccmmlsslon refrains from express ing an opinion. As to the great strike o IS'JI , the commission states Its reasons for not entering upn an Investigation of this matter. The controversy Included matters outside of the commission's jurisdiction. I Is urged the.commission should have express authority by statute to Investigate the acts of all parties in relatbn to such matters. On Juno 30 , 1894 , there were ICG roads In the hands of receivers. While the financla depression has been a factor In bringing about the embarrassment of the railways , 1 is believed that many of the receiverships were the natural sequence of mismanage ment , overcapitalization and ill-advlset projecting. The commission Includes in Its repor statistics cf railways for the year ending Junfe 30 , 1S94. On that date there wen 174,401.77 miles of line in the United States being an Increase during the year of 4,987.95 miles. The number of railway corporation : was 1,890 , being an Increase of slxty-elgh ever the previous year. The capitalization of the roads reporting was $10GOC,235,410 the number of passengers carried was 593 , 560,612 ; the number cf tons ot freight carrlei was 745,119,482 ; the gross earnings wer $1,220,751,871 ; operating expanses , $827,921 , 299 , leaving net earnings , $392,830,575 , whlcl Is equivalent to $2,314 per mile. The com mission stated that all new cars ordered by the railways are being supplied with auto matlc couplers and a larger prcportlon with air brakes. The accidents of the yea show little decrease on occunM. ot the us of automatic couplers. Xotlco of Abrogation ot the Heclproclty Treaty nn I Oreslmm'H Kcply. WASHINGTON , Dec. 5. The president to day sent tc the senate the correspondenc with the Brazilian minister here In referenc to the termination of the Brazilian reciproclt arrangement , about which there has bee some controversy. The correspondence be gins with a note to Secretary Gresham from Minister Mendonca of the date of Septembe 21 last , In which the minister notifies th secretary that his government has Inforrrfc Mr. Thompson , United States minister a Rio de Janeiro , of Its Intention to terminal the agreement In accordance with the stlpu latlon therein contained regarding its dura tlon , so that the termination shall tak effect January 1 , 1895 , In response , unde date of October 26 , Secretary Gresham con ments on the fact that the Brazilian gov crrment deems It necessary to terminate th tieaty on January 1. He says the act o August 28 last appeals these agreement where they were Inconsistent with Its pro visions. Consequently , notice of an Inten tion to terminate them was not contem plated and was unnecessary by reason of their Immediate termination. The minister's note , however , seems to Imply that the United States and Brazil had contracted an obligation not to terminate the arrangement except In the manner stipulated In the ne- got'atlons ' leading up to it. The secretary proceeds to discuss that question at some length. In conclusion , the secretary says the friendly disposition of this government toward Brazil te attested by its present tariff legislation , placing the great bulk of Brazil ian exports on the free list. While our im ports from Brazil from 1890 to 1893 increassd to the extent of nearly $17,000,000 In value , our exports to that country In 1893 show an Incicaso ot less than $500,000 over 1890.

MINNEAPOLIS MURDER A DEEP MYSTERY Pollco Can rind I.ltllo to Work On In the Search for the Man Who Itodo with Miss ( ling anil I.oft Her Deaden on th Itoudsltle. MINNEAPOLIS , Dec. C. The deep mys tery that enshrouds the Identity of Cather ine Glng's murderous companion In her evening drive night before last Is appar ently as Impenetrable as ever. It Is cer tain that this companion was beyond the peradvcnturo of doubt her murderer , but thus far there Is scarcely the shadow of a clew to his Identity. But ono man has up to the present turned up who ever saw the murderer. This Is Mounted Officer Gctschell , and his was but a fleeting glimpse of the face In the moonlight. The officer was making his rounds on Lake street , near Portland street Monday evening. A carriage passed him In which the occupants were loudly quarrel ing. Ho glanced at the man , nnd saw that he was thin of face , nnd had a dark heavy mustache. More ho could not see. He now claims that he looked at the rig as It passed sharply , and positively Identified It as the Goosman rig which Miss Glng hired , and which came back to the stable empty and bloodsoaked. The spot where the body was found is about two miles from the spot where Getschell claims to have seen the pair. That Is up to date the only actual clew to the Identity ot the stranger. Even by that It Is by no means certain that the couple that Getschell saw was the couple In question. There Is just ono other clew from which , something may vet bo learned. SEARCHING THE WASTE BASKET. This Is the note which Miss Glng received In the morning nnd which , after reading , she tore Into small bits. Her waste basket Is now In the hands of the police , who ore making nn effort to piece the various bits of paper found there together. So far this effort has not been entirely successful. Ap parently there are several notes. Ono signed "R" seems to nsk her to meet a friend from St. Louis. This Initial at once called to mind Frederick I. Reed of St. Paul , manager of the Golden Rule store. Reed , It Is learned , was once engaged to Miss Glng , and gave her a diamond engage ment ring , the one which was found In a small chamois bag beside her corpse. For borne reason the engagement was broken more than a year ago. Reed has a thin face and a heavy dark mustache. But ho proves that ho was at work In the store all the evening with his clerks. The police last night sent word to Heed to come over and enter the sweat box. Ho declined un less a warrant was Issued for him. The police did not feel justified In Issuing a war rant. According to the testimony of her friends MUs Ging had entirely broken oft v her connection with Reed , and held no com- ' munlcatlon with him for over a year. Yet she retained and cherished the ring. Thus far all search for the messenger boy who carried the note has been futile. An A. D. T. boy has been found wh.0 carried a num ber of notes from a man at the Nicollct house , but ho did not carry the note Mon day. The man for whom ho carried notes and whose picture was found In Miss Glng's boudoir wai Harvey Axford , a clothing manufacturer's agent , with whom and whoso wife Miss Glng was friendly. Ho had no trouble In convincing the police that he had nothing to do with the murder. Carl J. Wnrneke , another former intlmato of Miss GliiR , was also subjected to the sweat box process , but without result. He satis factorily oxp'alned his former relations with the girl. He is now married. ONE OTHER CLUE. The only other suspect Is Harry Hayward - ward , the landlord , friend and cred itor of the dead woman. Hayward'i admissions with reference to his finan cial and business relations with the woman constituted the serious part of the case against him. His alibi Is perfect and relieves him from direct connection with the crime. It is established that ho was at the theater at the time the murder won committed. Yet he knew more of her busl ness affairs than any other person , Ho lent her largo sums with security that would not bo deemed gilt-edged. He says he did so out of friendship and with confidence in her honesty. His last loan was $7,000 cash , nnd It Is pretty certain that she had this amount * on her person at the time of the murder , and ; that the murderer took It from her. Hay- ward's security for this was Miss Glng's two Insurance policies ono an accident policy for $5,000 In the Travelers , and the other a regular life policy In the same amount In the Now York Life. These were asblgned to him. The police have enough confidence In the theory that Hayward knows more of the case that he will tell , and that possibly he instigated It , to hold him under close surveillance. Mayor Eustls who has taken charge of the case , believes that this latter theory Is the true one. In this connection an alleged holdup that oc curred last April Is being recalled. Hayward - ward was out driving with Miss Glng and Miss Vettcr , her t'riond. They were stopped by two men and forced to give up what they had. It Is now claimed that Miss Glng had a large sum of money In ready cash at that time , and was supposed to have It on her person , but that as a matter of fact she did not have It with her. It Is conjectured that the men knew the fact In this way. and ex pected to get the money. It Is even hinted that Ilayward gave them their Information , But aside from the Insurance policies there Is not a scintilla of evidence that Hayward desired the death of Miss Glng or would profit by It. He was her creditor to a largo amount , was very fond of her , and stood better In her confidence than any one. The theory that he Instigated the crime Is hard to believe. Supposing It to bo true , how could ho have Induced Miss Glng to go driving In so mysterious a way thrice with a hired thug , and hqw ho could have In duced her to take with her on the fatal drlvo so large a sum as $7,000. It Is evident that there was a peculiar relation , not en tirely a pecuniary ono between Miss Glng and her mysterious companion. And so the investigations of the mystery come around to the point from which they started , with the mystery as deep as ever. IIAYWARD UELEASED. Harry Hayward has been released from surveillance by the police , a fact which Is taken to mean that they have given up any theory connecting him with the murder , Frederick Heed , In an Interview this mornIng - Ing , declared that ho had never been en gaged to Miss Glng , but simply her friend. Ho had not seen her for six months. Ho declared his willingness to come over from St. I'aul at any time and tell the police all he knew of her. The police have not yet summoned him and apparently do not take any stock In the theory that connects him with the affair , The authorities ore ap parently completely at tea. The dead woman's financial agents Mate eho had been In pressing need of money , for which Bomo one was pushing her with in the last week , and that they had gotten $1,000 for her. The head waiter In Marge's restaurant tells of Miss Qlng and Hayward meeting there as late as last Saturday , on which occasion Miss Glng thowed nearly 13,000 In bank bills. SYRACUSE , N. Y. , Pec. C. Catharine Glng , murdered at Minneapolis , was horn In Auburn about thirty years ago. She left Auburn twelve ycar4 ago and came to thin city , when she and her twin sister were dressmakers. She remained here o year or two and then went back to Auburn , thenc * eight years ago to Mlncnapolli. The woman hail an excellent reputation ,
