CAUSE: JEALOUSY OF "KANSAS" Calls xr Her in Her Room, Persnaies Her to Open Door, Pulls . Pistol, and Fires Fatal Shot. George Smith, colored, shot and killed his white -wife yesterday at a little before noon, In a room over the Boston saloon, on the corner of . Second and Couch streets. After a short chase, the police captured the man, and he was taken to the station-house, -where he was given a summary hearing before Chief McLauch- , lan. At first he denied having committed the deed, but later oh he confessed that he fired the fatal shot. J Smith has been married about three years, and has resided in Portland for over ,10. He Is a moldcr by profession. but of late he has been In the bootblack business. He has been arrested various times, notahly in January, 1895, on a . charge ot robbery, and the records of i the rogues' gallery state that he Is an ex-convlct. Nearly a month ago his wife, whose name was Annie, and he had a quarrel, and they separated after some hard words. The pair lived, on First street, near Everett, and after the separation, Mrs. Smith's household and personal property remained in the rooms, Smith refusing to give them up. A few days later Smith met his wife and a colored cook named "Kansas" on Second street, and be used such abusive language to- , ward the pair that "Kansas" beat him over the head and told him to mind his own business. In the meantime Mrs. Smith took up her quarters with Fay Severe, at the sa loon of Julius Severe, on Everett street, between Third and Fourth. Smith kept ' growing more Jealous all the time, and one day he went around to Severe's place and had such a row with his wife that Fay Severe, the saloonkeeper's wife, had him arrested on a charge of using abusive language. At the trial he was given a short sentence in the City Jail, and was soon out on the streets again, with very hostile feelings toward his wife. Yesterday, about 10 minutes -of 12 o'clock, he went around to tho Boston saloon, on .the southeast corner of Sec ond and Couch streets, and went up to the room his wife was occupying on the second floor. 'The door to the room was jEhut and Smith knocked rather vigor ously and his wife asked who was there. He told her, and added that he was go ing to leave town, and was there to give back the keys to the room on North First street and to tho boxes of personal prop erty that remained In tho room. After some little argument, she opened the door, and Smith found that another ne gro was in the room with her. This roan's name later proved to be Collin. The would-be murderer held out the bunch of keys and said: "Here Is the one for tho Toom, and this one Is for one of the padlocks " when suddenly he whipped out a 38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver and shot his wife In the breast. She staggered back and fell dead Into Collin's arms, while Smith bolted down the stairs to the street below. He made his way to the Sporismen'3 saloon and walked in and asked for a drink. He stood a - minute, -and then- said--to -(he barkeeper: . "Well,' I've dono it." "Done what?" said the barkeeper. "Killed Annie. I am going t6 kill my self, too." The barkeeper fled, fearing that there might be another shell in Smith's gun. Smith went out and started down the street toward First and Everett, but the news had flown fast, and Officers Rob erts and Kltzmlller were even then on his track. Within 10 minutes he was under chcrge and quickly taken to the City JalL Smith was soon taken Into Chief McLauchlan's private office, and was questioned about the deed in the presence Of a stenographer. He denied that he had flred tho shot, or that he was re sponsible for (he death of his wife. He maintained that his uncle shot her over his shoulder while he "was handing her the "keys, and that he ran down the stairs after him to catch him and bring him to. Justice. After he was questioned for an hour or more, ho was put In one of the dark cells and left to meditate. Ho had Jjeen there but a few minutes 10 at the outside when he began tp pound on the walls and to yelL Hd rat tled away on the bars for a few min utes, and the captain went In to see what he wanted. He said he would like to see the chief, and being shown In to that person, he confessed all that he knew of the crime, and was sent back to the cell. His motives were clearly Jeal ousy, and the murder was premeditated. The murderer Is a short person, and weighs about 130 pounds, being 33 years old, born In Kansas. He has been ar rested a number of times, and he Is an k important witness In the case of the mur- der of Louis Bargus, which occurred near the Willamette Iron Works on June .20. His wife's name was said to be Hess be fore he married her, and she came from Sherwood. Or. When arrested, Smith wore a white sweater, gray trousers, sup ported with a leather belt, and a soft gray felt hat. He did not seem to be particularly disturbed by his deed, and went Into his ceH willingly and with a smllinsr face. At the Inquest held last night over the remains of the murdered woman, the Coroner's jury rendered a verdict charg lag George Smith with murder.

Referring to the fact that the construction of the Panama Canal will necessitate the transportation of hundreds of cargoes of construction material,' food supplies for workmen, etc., the Journal of Commerce says: Panama and Colon are foreign "ports, and there is nothing therefore to prevent foreign shipowners from competing at low rates for. carrying material. It Is said by a representative of the Panama Canal In terests that the material required In the construction of the canal will certainly exceed 510,000,000. In addition to food sup plies. This material will .consist very -largely of cement, granite, lumber and machinery. The lumber will undoubtedly como largely from Oregon and that sec tion of. the country, and will not be a matter of much concern to shipowners on the Atlantic Ocean, as it will be car ried by the ships of the Pacific, but In the case of cement, stone and machinery, the Items will be- of great importance and communications have already been sent to the Government "at Washington be decided upon whereby Jtbls enormous carrying -movement can be confined to American ehlps. It is proposed that .a construction of the coastwise law could be made, declar ing the six-mile zone on either side of the canal to be American territory, and this would convert Panama nnd Colon Into domestic ports. This zone, under the treatv with Colombia, is merely to the United States, as Colombia does not! relinquish her sovereignty, and come doubt Is expressed whether the Govern ment need therefore assume the porte of roaoia anu iuion wunout incurring in ternational complications. 'Under the bill as pa&eed by Congress, no restriction of the carrying trade" to American vessels can be made. and. American- shipowners claim that they will not be able to meet the competition of foreign vessels in this trade, for the reason that a large number J or iruit vessel are available for the service largely Norwegian vessels, which bring fruit north and have virtually no southbound cargo. f These vessels would naturally be able to carry southbound cargo at much low er rates than could American vessels, which must make their entire expenses on southbound cargo and return north prac tically In ballast. To Ratify, BInine-Bond Treaty. LONDON. Aug. 22. Sir Robert Bond, the Premier and Colonial Secretary of Newfoundland, sailed from Liverpool yes terday for Montreal on the Allan Line steamer Pretorlan, on his way to Wash lngton with full powers from the Impc rial Government to reopen negotiations through the British charge d'affaires for tne ratification or tlie Bona -Blaine, convention. The Bond-Blalne convention was a spe cial agreement -entered into about 10 year.'? ago between the late James G. Blaine. then Secretary of State, and the Premier of Newfoundland. The convention on the part of Newfoundland granted to United States fishermen considerable privileges In regard to purchasing bait, and largely reduced .the duties on a considerable class of American exports Into Newfoundland The United Statce, on Its side, opened lis marKct to itewxounalana uener raw products and confirmed the privileges of transportation of fresh fish In bond to the United States markets. The Newfoundland Premier has de clared himself in favor of free trade with the United States as against a union of tne colony With the Dominion of Oinada. The Premier will lose no time In getting to work and the British charge d'affaires win communicate with the State Depart ment fihortly after hla arrival in America HILL AND GREAT CENTRAL CHIEF ENGINEER. KINNEY SAYS THERE IS SO CONNECTION. People Floclrtng; into the Coos. Bay Country Great Hotel to" Be Constructed. It came to light yesterday that the Chi cago, Burlington .& Qulncy Railroad owsn land Iff Salt Lake City for right of way and terminal facilities. This It has held for 10 or 12 years, paying taxes on It reg ularly and leasing a considerable share of It ori such terms that the property will be available for the railroad company when ever it shall choose to use It to build Into that city. It was bought when land was low, and Is deemed very desirable prop- that Hill and Clark would be glad to get o cross the country between Butte and Coos Bay. because the grades ot that route are much tighter than those of the North ern lines to. Puget Sound a premise that has. not yet been demonstrated to bo sound, however. Chief Engineer Kinney does not encour age the theory that President J. J. Hill is In any wise related to the Coos Bay rail road enterprise. "I am positive he has no connection with It whatever," said Mr. Kinney. After a moment's reflection he qualified this statement, saying: In these days It is a wise child, partic ularly a railroad child, that knows 1U own father. Perhaps I would better not say I know positively that Mr. Hill has no con nection with our project, for I am not ad vised exactly who. Is the real power behlnd lt all. But I may ay that I hae good reasons for the statement .that Mr. Hill does not have anything to do with the Great Central Railroad. Personally I would be glad to see him In it, for I regard him as the grand old man of the Western railroad world, but I am satl3fled that he Is not In It now." French Feellnp Agrntntit Germany. BERLIN. Aug. 22. The outburst of French feeling against Germany that took place at tne celebration of the an nlversary of the Battle of Mars la j. our, is aescnoea uy a. corres pondent telegraphing from Strasburg.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 22,-Through the medium of Izzel Bey, one of his sec retaries, the Sultan today sent a friendly message to the United States Minister, John G. Leishman, assuring him that all the pending claims of the United States would be complied with, and begging the Minister to.resume his visits to the Porte. In consequence of these fresh assurances Mr. Leishman today visited the Grand Vizier. Said Pasha, and the Minister of .Foreign Affairs,. Tewfik Pasha. Mr. Leish man and Robert S. McCormlck, the United States Ambassador to Austrla-Hungary.; will attend the .selamllk tnmnrrnnr an A win probably have an audience with the Sultan. WASHINGTON. Aucr. 22Th Department has received a dispatch from iu.iuuier aeisnman. at ffmhntinnnin saying that amicable relations have been re-established between tho Legation and the Porte. Tho Sultan has directed that a portion of the acrepmrnt rnrvm4 tween Minister Leishman and the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs be carried out. This agreement was annulled by the Grand Vizier. Minister Leishman has re sumed negotiations with the Secretary of Foreign Affairs upon subjects that had not been settled when the. intercourse between thfe Minister and the Secretary ceased. GEORGE SMITH, COLORED, WIFE-MURDERER. i . . . Q erty for railroad purposes. This Is said to indicate the purpose of the Burlington to build fnto Salt Lake City and to strength en the theory that J. J. Hill Is In some manner supporting the Great Central Rail road project to Coos Bay. Another straw that Is given some sig nificance as tending to Indicate which way the wind blows is the lnharmony that ha3 developed between the new Coos Bay en terprise and the steamer Alllanco, in which the O. R. & N. Co. is said to be the controlling force. The O. R. & N. Is. of course, a Harrlman property. Wherever Hill and Harrlman get In contact fire files, as witness the Wall-street panic ot a year ago last May, and the conflict be tween the Clark line to Los Angeles and the Oregon Short Line the latter part of last j ear. From this It Is Inferred that ln harmony would be natural between a Har nman steamer and a Hill railroad enter prise, if Hill be in the Coos Bay move ment. One railroad observer Is ot the opinion Major Kinney savs people are gulng to Coos Bay so fast that the hotel accommo dations arc. already exceeded, and the first building to be constructed by the Great Central Land Company On the new town site of Bangor will be a hotel. It will bo patterned after the Hotel Portland, except that it will be only three stories In height The second structure will be a general hospital, 40x100 feet, on the ground, and two stories tall. The general office build ing of cut stone will bo started first, but many others will be completed before that one will bt ready for use, which will be some time next Spring. Major Kinney says work at the quarry has already been begun in preparation for erecting the of fice building. The other structures, for which there Is more" pressing need, will be of wood. Southern Railway Passes Dividend. NEW YORK. Aug. 22. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Southern Railway this afternoon, the dividend on the preferred stock; which- has been -at the rate of VA quarterly, was -passed. The folllowlng statement was given put after the meeting: The consideration of the amount or October dividend on the preferred stock was postponed until a future meeting of the board on account of a communi cation received from the voting trustees stating that they had been requested by holders of large amounts of preferred and common stock to extend the period of tho voting trust and that in view of such request they had determined to issue a. circular to the stockholders suggesting and recommending such extension. "Fending the ascertainment ot tne wishes of the stockholders In this respect. the board considered it best to suspend action upon the dividend."

There Is a certain cure for these dis eases without resorting to those unpleas ant and painful methods still used by many, which aggravate,, rather than give relief. "With the same certainty as that of a perfect diagnosis, I adapt my special French treatment to the radical cure ot Stricture, Prostatis, Inflammation of the Bladder, Private Dlaordcra, Varicocele, And nil Genito-Uninry Dlacnne It affords Instant relief. I remove every veatlge of disease wltohut resorting- to those painful processes usually employed and which do not give satisfaction. It Is not reasonable to suppose that a man-can exercise the essential functions while the urinary channel Is blocked by stricture or other disease, which destroys the vital powerand which becomes more aggravated under'lroproper treatment. These diseases., whilo they last, nlways detract from the sexual and bladder functions, and an early care Is always advisable. EXAMINATIONS FREE VARICOCELE THE DISEASE. An enlargement of the veins surrounding the apermatlo cord, a twisted, knotted, wormy-like or swollen appearance of the scrotum. TltiS CAUSE Sometimes celf-pollution. but often blows, falls, strains, excessive horseback, or blcycle-rldlng. THE EFFECT At times a dull, heavy, dragging pain In email of back, extending down through loins Into the parts, low spirits, weakness of body and brcln. nervous debility, partial or complete loss of sexual power and often failure of xeneral health. THE CURE If you are a victim of this dlro disease, come to my office and lot mo explnin to you my process of treating It. You will then not wonder why I have cured, to Btay cured, more than 700 cases of VARICO CELE during the past 12 months. Under my treatment the patient Improves from the very beginning. All pain Instantly ceases. Soreness and swelling quickly subside. The -pools of stagnant blood are forced from the dilated veins, which rapidly assume their normal size, strength and soundness. All Indications of disease and weakness vanish completely and forever, and in their Head comes the pride, the power, and tho pleasures of perfect health and restored manhood. I also cure to stay cured forever. Stricture. Syphilitic Blood Poison. Ira potency, and all associate diseases and weaknesses of men. To these ma l2d!cs alone I have earnestly devoted my whole professional life. If you cannot call at my office, write me your symptoms fully. My home -treatment by correspondence Is always successful. My counsel Is free nnd sacredly confidential, and I give each patient a legal contract In ' -writing- to bold for my promise. Address J.H. KESgLER, M. P., Cor. Yamhill and Second, Portland, Or.
