WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED.
Klattke Kills Wile nnd Children and
Then Himself.
A Chicago special says: An entire
family of six, father, mother, wife and
three children, were murdered Tues
day night by Richard Klattke,at Lake-
view, who then killed himself.
The dead are Richard Klattke, car-
penter, thirty-eight years of age; Kate
Klattke, his wife; John IClnttke, his
father, aged 79 years; Wilhelmine
Klattke, liis mother, aged 71 years;
Mina Klattke, daughter, ago 0; Anna
Klattke, daughter, aged 8; Emma
Klattke, daughter, aged 7
The members of the Klattke family
wero found dead in their little cottage
nt No. 207 Berseau avenue, two blocks
from Cuyler station, a suburb, on the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad.
The discovery was made hy Matthew
Brown, a saloon keeper. Mr. Brown,
who wished to have some work done,
called ut the Klattke residence to se
cure the si rvices of the carpenter. He
ropptd on tho door, but. there was no
response. Knowing theKluttkes wero
early risers, ho became suspicions,
called neighbors and forced an en
trance.
Found Seven Dead.
In the house he found the seven
corpses. Each had a bullet wound in
the head. In each case the boll hud
penetrated tho bruin and death had
evidently been instantaneous. Beside
lhe body of Richard Klattke lay a re
volver and empty cartridge shells were
scattered about the room. A heavy
odor, which appeared to be that of
chloroform, pervaded the house. From
this it was surmis cl lhatRichard bad
first chloroformed the entire family
and had then ut his leisure taken de
liberate aim and put the bullet into
the bruin of each.
Officers were notified and went at
-once to tho scene in u patrol wagon.
Everything pointed to a deliberately
planned murder by tho he id of the
family and a desire to place himself
and family beyond any further earthly
troubles.
Republican Birthday Party.
The Union Republican Club oi
Washington, L>. C., is arranging for a
celebration to be held the 22d inst.,
of the fortieth anniversary of the birtb
of the national republican party.
NATIONAL CAPITAL
GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON IN
BRIEF PARAGRAPHS.
Doings of tho Chiefs and Heads of the
Various Departments.
The death of Itopresentativo Crain
will delay tho vote on tho silver sub
stitute in tho house until Thursday
afternoon nt I o’clock.
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, has
introduced a bill to pension all ex-
slaves freed by tho Lincoln proclama
tion. Tt provides fur a lump sum to
each, depending upon age, and tho
payment of a regular monthly ponsiou.
The Red Lake and White Earth In
dian reservations, comprising about a
million acres, forming part of tho old
Chippewa reservation in Minnesota,
will ho opened to settlement on May
1st by a proclamation to be issued by
the president shortly.
Senator Morgan will mnko an effort
to have the senate consider and pass
the Cuban resolutions at once. Tho
opposition of tho administration, how
ever, may cause a long delay before
these resolutions are finally adopted.
The president is opposed to immediate
notion.
It is stated at the sub-treasury that
$10,609,G40 gold was turned iu Satur
day on account of tho new bonds and
82,000,000 for examination. Tho lat
ter will also bo used for bond pur-
pesi n. It is estimated that fully
$20,000,000 gold is now iu the gov
ernment vaults in this city to pay for
new fours, just, allotted. This provides
for the first installment due ten days
ufter allotment.
The populists of tho senate caucuss-
ed Saturday afternoon and nominated
Turn Watson for sergeant-at-arms of
the senate, and Taubenock for assist
ant doorkoeper. Friday, when Sena
tor Frye, of Maine, was elected presi
dent pro tern of tho senate, tho popu
lists intended to propose the name of
Senator Ivylo, but the fact that Sena
tor Harris, tho former democratic
president pro tern, withdrew his name
and proposed tho unanimous election
of Mr. Frye, caused the populists not
to propose Kyle, but simply to an
nounce that they had intended to do
so. Tho populists nominated nobody
for secretary, wishing to honor H. L.
Grunt, the North Carolinian, nomi
nated hy the republicans.
Statement as to Coast Defenses.
In response to a resolution of in
quiry the secretary of war has sent to
tlie senate a statement of the amount
of money which could be used advan
tageously in coast defenses.
He says that $25,678,800 could bo
so used by the department prior to
July 1, 1897, of which amount $4,722,-
000 should be made available during
tho present fiscal year. Of tho total
amount he recommends that $15,807,-
000 ho designated for fortification,
$1,000,000 for Bites, $2,500,000 for
submarine defenses, $6,316,860 for
guns, mortar projectiles, ete. 'i’ho
special advantage of tho increased ap
propriations as enumerated by tho
secretary are:
The utilization of the army gun fac
tory to its full capacity; the moro
rapid armament of our fortifications ;
tho addition of twolvo mortars and
carriages to those already estimated
for ; tho purchase of an additional five
hundred deck-piercing shells and tho
supply of heavy material for sea ser
vice.
Nicaragua Affairs.
Wm. Baker, Uuitod State minister
to Nicaragua, has supplied to the state
department extracts from tho annual
mossago to congress of President
Zelayu, to indicate the excellent finan
cial standing of Nicaragua and tho
material progress mado during tho
year. ,
'The president, who found a large
deficit in the treasury when ho as-
fumed office, now reports that ho has
paid off $379,379 of the foreign debt,
which now amounts to but 285,000
pounds at 4 per cent, having twenty
years to run, and lias also paid $2,-
157,446 of the domestic debt, aud re
tains $713,179 in tbo treasury. At
this rate tho republic would ho free of
debt inside of three years. It is not
proposed, however, to keep on ex
tinguishing the debt, but instead, to
apply tho surplus receipts to the build
ing of a railroad to connect Lake
Nicaragua with the Atlantic at Ramaba
und there to connect with the steam
ers to tho United States aud Europe,
which is expected to d<> much to de
velop the commerce of the country.
Big Imports of Sugar.
Mr. Worthington G. Ford, chief of
the bureau of statistics, issues the nd-
vanco figures of the import of sugars
iu tho month of January, 1896, and
states that the imports have not been
so heavy in the corresponding months
of any years in last ten years, with
the single excoyflion of January, 1890.
The five pprts of New York, Boston,
Baltimore.’JIhiladeiphia and Galves
ton, imported ia January, 1896, 233,-
264,828 pound! of sugar, valued at
$5,115,608. No account is taken of
the imports at Sun Francisco, of
New Orleans, and in addition to what
those two ports might bring in an al
lowance may bo made of eight mil-
linns for tho rest of the oonntrv
which would bring tho total up to at
hast tho point reached in January,
1890, when tho imports wero 210,047,-
863 pounds, valued nt $7,040,422, A
further fonturo of the January imports
is the improved prico of sugars, which
was a shado below 2.2 cents per pound.
A year ago the price was 1.8 cents a
pound, showing an increase of nearly
25 per cent, in import value. ’ ho
treasury will thus got. moro than
$2,0(10,000 in revenue lor the imports
of tho last month.
TRADE TOPICS.
BradstreotS’ Review of Business for
the Past Week.
Brndstreet’s review of trade condi
tions for the past week says: General
trade waits tho results of subscrip
tions to the bond issue, and the senti
mental effects of tho unexpectedly fa
vorable outoomo have been for easier
money nnd improvement. Additional
favorable influences are found in heav
ier bank clearings, coni tinted firmness
of prices sustained demand for iron
and steel. The announcement from
St. Paul, Milwaukee, Omaha and Dos
Moines of a revival iu business with
jobbers in staple lines. At tho oast,
Baltimore nnd Pittsburg, report favor-
nblo trade conditions. At tiio south,
gains in wholesale linos are announ
ced from Nashville, Memphis, Atlan
ta aud Birmingham. The rovorso
includes the depressing influence of
stormy and wot weather, indifference
of consumers of domestic woolen dress
goods, renewed sales of print, cloths
and other makes of cotton goods after
a reaction in prices, continuance of
extreme conservatism in almost all
lines, and in fact that the relief to the
treasury hy the heavy over-subscrip
tion to the bond issue in the absence
of sound currency legislation by con
gress will probably prove only a tem
porary device to maintain the geld
reserve. General trade at Chicago,
St. Louis, Buffalo nnd Pbilapelphia
shows no real gains from the preced
ing week, when tho situation was
quite even to dullness, and the outlook
unsatisfactory.
The total number of business failures
throughout the United States for the
week is considerably smaller, 338, as
contrasted with 393 tho week before,
293 iu the week one year ago, WF-i^pr
almost exactly the same nmflbef In-the
first week of February, 1894, 228 in
1893 and with 214 in 1892.
TROUBLE FOR PUGILISTS.
Harmon, Culberson and Diaz Say
“They Shall Not Fight.”
Itolativo to tho Fitzsimmons-Maher
tight, United States Attorney-General
Harmon says:
“If they fight on any territory of the
United States wo will follow them to
the ends of tho earth if necessary to
bring them to justice.”
Opinion in Washington is that Gov
ernor Culberson will certainly prevent
the fight on Texas territory and no
doubt lias influence enough with Mex
ican authorities to prevent its taking
place in Mexico. It is understood that
Governor Culberson has gone to tho
frontier to direct iu person tho move
ments of militia if necessary to pre
vent the battle taking place on Texas
territory.
Texas undoubtedly will nssumo ju
risdiction of tho disputed territory for
tho time being. If it is definitely
known where the fight is to come off,
the authorities in that jurisdiction can
arrest the principals before a breach
of tho peace takes place.
Mr. Bomero, the Mexican minister
nt Washington, soys that it was his un
derstanding that the Mexican state au
thorities would certainly provent tlio
Maher-Fitzsimmons mill taking place
on Mexican soil.
THE KENTUCKY MUDDLE.
Senator ial Contest is Nearing a Crisis
and Lively limes Expected.
A dispatch from Frankfort, Ky,,
states that this week is expected to de
velop a number of sensations in the
senatorial contest, and many of the
politicians think that a sonator will be
elected before its close.
It is said that the house will tako up
at once and dispose of tho two con
tested election case", putting in both
Dunlap nnd Werner, republicans. If
this is done there will bo lively times
that will furnish excitement for tho
people of the state.
Tho democratic majority in the een-
nto is ready to declare vacant the Boats
of half a dozen republican senators.
If thiH is done tho state will ho fqrtu-
nate if disgracelul scenes of disorder
and violence do riot follow.
The roll call for the seventeenth bal
lot, taken Monday, showed 102 mem
bers present, necessary to a choice 52.
The ballot resulted: Hunter, 51; Black
burn, 45; Carlisle, 3; McCreary, 2.
Hunter again lacked tho one vote
necessary to elect him.
Tills Will Stop Prize Fighting.
In the house, Wednesday, Delegate
Catron, New Mexico, introduced a bill
to prevent the pugilistic festival from
taking place neur El Paso, Tex. The
bill makes prize fighting a misdemean
or punishable by imprisonment for
not less than five years. The house
passed tho bill without division.
Bins FOR BONDS
WERE INPLENTY ANI) REACHED
A9 HIGH A8 410.
Secretary Carlisle Pleased—Morgan
Expects Sixty Per Cent of Them.
The secretary of tho treasury Wed
nesday opened the bids for the pur
chase of $109,000,000 United States
four per eont thirty-year bonds, which
had been received under liit-i call dated
January 6 last. Tho bonds, whioh arc
redeemable in coin, will bo issued in
denominations of $50 or multiples of
that sum, ns may bo desired by tbo
bidders. Only United States gold eoin
or gold certificates will bo received in
payment fur.tho bonds.
Under tho terms of tho secretary's
circular calling fur the bids, the first
payment of 20 per cent and accrued
iutori st must l>o made upon receipt of
notice of the acceptance of the bid,
Tho remainder of the nmounts bid may
be paid in installments of ten per cent
each and accrued interest at the end
of each fifteen days thereafter. > Ac
cepted bidders, however, are allowed
to pay the whole amount of their bids
at the time of the first installment, or
at any time previous to tho maturity
of tho last installment, provided that
all previous installments have beou
paid.
Ilow the Interest Figures Out.
The bonds will be dated February!,
1895, to run thirty years from that
time and will, therefore, mature Feb
ruary 1, 1925. According to tho cal
culations of tho actuary of the treas
ury a bidder iu order to realize 1 1-2
por cent interest on his investment
should have offered $120.8449 for each
$100 bonds bid for. To realize higher
rates of interest bids should have been
made as follows: 2 3-4 per cent
$124.9234; 3 percent, $19.3229; 3 1-16
por oent, $117,9749; 3 1-8 per cent,
$116.6471; 3 3-16 per cent, $115.3281;
3 3-14 per cent, $114.0506 ; 3 5-16 per
cent, $112.7814; 3 8-4 per cent, $111.-
5310; 3 7-16 per emit, $110.2992; 3 1-2
per cent. $109.8900; 3 5-8 pur cent,
$106.7121: 3 11 -16 per cent, $105.5516;
3 3-4 per emit. $104.4082; 3 3-16 per
emit, $103.2916; 3 7-8 per cent, $102.-
1710; 3 15-e6 per cent. $101.0778; 4
per eont, $100,000.
All the morning bond bids came in
rapidly, swelling largely tho already
long list of holders, great and small.
Every train and every mail brought n
list of bond bids and at 11 o’clock tho
expectations of tho treasury officials
were rising aud predictions wore mado
freely that tho loan would be largely
over-subscribed aud that the bonds
would bring a good price.
At 11 :30 o’clock the large crowd as
sembled about the secretary’s door was
allowed to enter, nnd all of the avail
able space was soon occupied.
At 12:16 p. m. Mr. Echols, of tho
committee, announced Unit up to that
time there had had been received
3,077 bids aggregating $380,232,590,
ranging iu price from par to $119 und
a fraction. Other bids not yet opened
would probably raise tho number to
4,500 aggregating $75,000,000 more.
Secretary Carlisle entered tho room nt
12 o’clock. Tho room ut that timo
was so densely crowded that it was
with much diffloulty he could make his
way to a seat.
J. 1’. Morgan, Harvey Busk & Son
aud tho Deutcher hank, of Berlin, ns a
syndicate, bid for $100,000,000 nt
l’l 0.0878. Up to 1 :40 o’clock 4,640
bids fur $084,269,850 hud been opoued.
Mr. Eckels announced that a bid for
$100,000,090 from a doctor in Michi
gan and $16,000,000 from some one in
Texas wero legardod as bogus bids nnd
that tho total of $684,269,850 should
bo roduced by that amount.
How the Bonds Will Go.
Tho public will probably get fifty
million of the issue nt a fraction less
than one hundred nnd elovon.
Tho liveliest bidding was between
the Stewurt-Sngo syndicate nnd tho
Morgan syndicate. Tho latter’s bid
was 110.6877, a fraction higher than
tho Sage crowd, and they will got at
least fifty million of tho bonds. This
latter bid insured tho success of tho
bond issue, und thoro was lively up-
plauso when tho bid was read out.
Tho entire issue will go ut a prico net
ting interest between tliroo and throe-
eights and throo aud ouo-hulf per
cent.
Thero were numerous bids from
southern banks, but tho majority of
them ranged from 109 to 110 1-2. The
Atlanta National Bank made a bid for
$250,000 worth of tho bonds at 110.75.
This-was unusually close figuring and
the possibilities are that the Atlanta
bauk will got its bonds at the very
lowest price of any that are sold.
Tho closeness of the figuring be
tween the New York syndicates, trust
and insurance companies was evidence
of parsimonious shrewdness. As it is
runny of tho New Yorkers’ bids, per
haps a mujority of them will be frozon
out. The Stewart-Russell Sage syn
dicate und many of tho largest insur
ance aud trust companies will get no
part of tho issue, missing it by the
merest fraction of a por coht.
Some Southern Bids.
The following are some of tho bids
£r;;m southern states: Beruy National
bank, of Birmingham, Ala., $5,000,
at 109; Lynchburg National bank,
Lynchburg, Ya., $25,000, at 100; Bank
of Charleston, Charleston, S, C.,-$75,-
000, at 110.50; Citizens' National
bank, Knoxville, Tenn., $10,000, at -
111.50; Germania Havings bunk,
New Orleans, $25,000, nt 112; -First
National bank, St, Augustine, Fla.,
$25,000, at 112; First National-
bank, Columbus, Miss., $20,000, nt
112; J. T. Allison, Statesville,
N. C., $10,000, at 112; First-National
bank, Mobile, Ala., $15,000, at 110;,
Fort, Worth National bank, Texas,
$50,000, at 110; Texarkana National
bauli, Texas, $25,000, at 110; Edisto
Havings bank, Orangeburg, B. O.,$20,-
000, at 110; Bank of Charleston (IT.
B. A.), Charleston, 8. G., $25,000, at
112 1-4; New Orleans National bank,
$100,000, at 114.0506; Hibernia Na
tional bank, New Orleans, $50,000, at
110.2902; First National bank, Bnr-
num, Tex., $30,000, at 110.2992.
Half Will Be Foreign Gold.
Tho interest manifested in tho open
ing of the bonds was intense. In tho
corridors of the treasury department
newspaper men, J. PierreDont Mor
gan, Bussell Sago and other Now Yol k
financiers jostled with the general
public to hear Comptroller Eckels
read the bids. One of tho amusing
features which broke the strain was a
fako bid from a Michigan doctor for
one huudrod million und another from
from a Texas woman for sixteen mill
ions.
That portion of the Morgan bid
which will prevail absolutely insures
foreign gold. Treasury officials believe
that the gold which Iibh already beou
withdrawn represents the totnlnmonut
homo bond buyers intend usiug to pay
for them.
Carlisle Greatly Pleased.
The total number of bids received
for the new loan is 4,640, aggregating
$558,269,850.
This number and amount do not in
clude these bids of $100,000,000, $16,-
000,000 nnd $1.6,000,000, which uro at
least of doubtful authenticity.
Secretary Carlisle said tnat it prob
ably would bo three or four days bo-
foro the bids could all bo verified,
scheduled and classified,nnd until that
time he could give no definite infor
mation as to how low bids would bo
accepted. He had tho impression,
however, from hearing tho names and
amounts read tlmt it would bo neces
sary in all probability to accept Homo
bids ut a rato slightly lower than
111, but how many or in what
amount he could not now toll. As the
Inst bids wore being read tbe secretary
was shown a telegram just then re
ceived by one of the New York bank

BUTLER TO POPULISTS,
And All Voters Opposed to the Single
Gold Standard.
Sonator Marion Butler, chairman of
the populist state committee of North
Carolina, has issued an address lathe
North Carolina populists and j-ftther^
voters of the stato who are opposed to
the single gold standard. He declares
that tho overshadowing issues in this
year's campaign are national; and of
all these tho greatest and mpat mo
mentous is the financial.
“Wo have proposed to- oo-operate
again with tho republicans, making tho
basis tho silver pledge adopted by the
silver convention at Raleigh, Septem
ber 25th. A large majority of the vo
ters of North Carolina are opposed to
tho single gold standard, and indorse
that pledge, nnd we iuvite all those
who arc for the money of tho* con
stitution to co-operate with ns
to give North Carolina’s eleven
electoral voteB to a candidate,
who is nn American patriot and who^
will fight to the bitter death the'in
famous gold conspiracy. The people
aro tired of goldbugs, but they arc
moro tired of straddle-bugs, hntnbugs
aud hypocrites, nud they want to see
the issue squarely drawn between the'
peoplo nnd the common enemy. In.
the coming campaign tbo people, will
have nn opportunity to vote for an
olentoral ticket that is sound upon this
great question. They will have an
opportunity to vote for a stato ticket
and for congressmen and for a wholo
ticket that is equally sound and relia
ble from top to bottom. The fight
will bo drawn square in the nation
from ocean to ocean and in North
Carolina from the mountain to the sea.
Lot every patriot prepare for the
struggle iu which onr homos, liberty
and nrospority are all at stake.”
