THE MYSTERY IS UNSOLVED Re Clew aa to Who Waa tb Murderer of Mr. Taa Draft Eatper Vaa Draa Mad Moat Careful Pre pa ratio ai for Hia Death. Portland, Dec. 30 Late development in the investigation aa to tha cause of the suicide of Kaspar Van Dren, the tragic, unsolved mystery to the aational shooting affray and th sub sequent murder of hi wife, only serve to convince hi relative and friend that the lat act of the tragedy waa due to mental worry over th prospects of a second surgical operation, coupled with the multitude of family troubles. Furthermore, it ia apparent that, al though he did not confide hia intentions to a single living soul, all arrangements for the commission of the rash deed were thoroughly premeditated and carried out without creating the slight est suspicion in the mind of any one. These conviction are strengthened by the fact, which only developed today. that on the morning of the day of hi suicide Van Dran remarked to Mrs. V. J. Monticth, his aister-in-Uw, that he had paid a visit to th aafe deposit vaults. This action on hia part led hi relatives to think that possibly be had deposited thvre some final misnive ex plaining his contemplated act of self destruction or hia last will and testa ment. This morning hia brother, George Van Dun, and hi brothers-in-law, M. 8. Monticth, of Pendleton, and W. J. Mon ticth of this city, accompanied by Coroner Finly, repaired to the safe deposit vaults and made a thorough ex amination qf his effect: on deposit there. A careful search of the contents of the two bones failed to reveal the existence of note, will or document of any kind, and ao far aa any of his relative are aware, no paper was left making final disposition of his property, the value of which ia roughly estimated at from $13,000 to 5.000.

REPLY WILL BE OFFICIAL The Whole Cue Prom tb German Standpoint Will be Placed Before th Public Such Action Haa Bern Been Taken Before. Berlin, Dec. 30. The foreign office will iue, next week, a book on tha morocco controversy, containing docu ments omitted by the French govern-, ment from its. 3"tTEw book, and eorrrw- pondoac rrpelling th acca-ation ef bad faith made againat Coun Von Tat- tenbach-Ashbold, th former special German representative at Fea. Th whole case, from the German stand point, will be placed before the public. Such a book on a European diplo matic question, has never been issued by the imperial Foreign Office, which, unlike other foreign officers, has fol lowed Prince Bismarck's rule never to publish auch paper, but to hold for eign dispute m absolute secrecy. France' yellow book, however, produc ed an effect on the world's opinion that the (r.-rman government is not willing to let go unanswered, and the decision waa taken to disregard the former pol icy and publish documents tn rebuttal of France's presentation, which it re garded as that of a partial attorney d'terniined to arrange the facta ao as to produce a conclusion held In view from the beginning. The German government rearnta, es pecially, the statements designated to produce tb impression that Count Von Tattenbach-Asbold haa bee untruthful. The Imok is expected to clear away some impression abroad that Germany threatened France. MEET IN CLEVELAND. Chicago, Dee. 30.
