President McKinley for federal troops.
General Merriam occupied the distrk-t
and proclaimed martial law. A stockade,

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.

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

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.
