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 ers present,stating Unit the uew bonds were being quoted on the stock ex change at 116. Tho great success of tho issue he thought would have a very beneficial effect upon tho finan cial nnd commercial interests of tho whole country, aud ho looked forward to a year of marked business improve ment. Mr. J. Plorpont Morgan, who was present, expressed himself as greatly pleased ut the success of the loan. REPRESENTATIVE CRANE DEAD. Member of tlio Texas Delegation in Six Congresses. Wm. IT. Crane, representative from tho eleventh district of Texas and a mombor of congress for many years, died at his homo in Washington at 4 o’clock Monday morning. Win. H. Crane, of Cuero, Texas, was born ut Galveston, November 25, 1848. Ho graduated at St. Ernncios Xavier’s college iu New York city on July 1, 1867, nnd received tho degree of A. M. several years afterwards. Ho studied law at Indinnola, Texas, aud was admitted to practice in February, 1871. Hu practiced law sinco that time. In 1873 ho was olectod as tho democratic candidate for distriot at torney of tho twenty-third district of Texas, aud was elected a state senator on tho democratic ticket iu February, 1876. Ho has occupied a seat iu tho past six congressos, beginning with tho forty-ninth and being successively re elected to tho fiftieth, fifty-first, iifty- socond, fifty-third and fifty-fourth congresses. PACKING HOUSES FAIL. Receivers For Four Concerns Asked For In Baltimore. A petition was filed at Baltimore Friday asking that receivers be ap pointed for tho following con-corlm : Tho Highland ..Packing Company, .$150,000. Tho J. Winslow Jo'n'e's’Packing Com pany, $150,000. The Patuxont Canning Company, $10,000, all incorporated in West Vir ginia, and tho Kiverton Livo Htock Company, $25,000, incorporated in Maine. Allegations of insolvency are made and admitted in tho pleadings. It is understood that the trouble grows out of tho failure of tho Fort Btanwix Na tional Bauk in Rome, N. Y., iu which J. Winslow Jones, tho heud of tho concerns above mentioned, wus deeply involved. A man can nover bo a true gentleman in manner until ho is a gontlemau ut heart. WEYLER 8WORN IN ANJ) CUBIAN9 MAY NOW TREM BLE FOR THEIR LIVES. Ho Toole the Onth as Captain General of Cuba. • i A Havana special says: Tlio Span ish ‘cruiser Alfonso XIII, with Geuoral Weyler,' tho newly appointed captnin gen,oral and commander-in-chief of the Spanish forces in Cuba, on board) arrived .off Morro castle at 9 o’elook Monday morning and nt 10 o’olock en tered the harbor and steamed up to the city. Ah the warship passod Morro castle she was saluted by the guns of that fortress and as she proceeded was welcomed by thunders of artillery from tho Cabanas fortress aud the dip ping of (lugs and other grootiugs from the ships in tho harbor. Genernl Weyler, who was accom panied by Generals Barges, Arolas and the Marquis do Ahumada, the latter having been designated by tho queen rogent to be second to General Weyler iu command, disembarked shortly be- foro noon nud was met by civil nnd military officials, who escorted him to the palace. The streets wero lined with people and tho entire city was decorated with tings, hunting, flowers nnd every con ceivable bit of color, ovon to the hanging of red blankets out of the windows of dwellings. General Weyler proceeded on foot from tho landing to tho palace, whore he at once took the oath of office as captain geuoral of Cuba. After this ceremony tho new gover- ernor aud oommander-in-ohief hold a reception in tho palace, receiving the leading citizens of Cuba; a number of grandees of Spain, ttyo heads of the various commercial bodies, tho loaders of tho political .parties und tho foreign consuls. 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.
