ALL IS HARMONY.
The President Denies a Rumor of I Die-

Wasniroros. Nov. Iii—The attention
of the president was called to the state.
ment contained in certain newspapers to
the sfleot that there had been a disagree-
ment between him and Mr. Carlisle in
regard to the issue of bonds and other
_ matters. and intimatiug that such dis-
agreement might result in the secretary‘s
retirement from the cabinet.
The president emphatically denied the
entire ‘ 'batch of silly misstatements” and
said: “Never since our association to—
gether has there been the slightest un~
pleasantnoss or difference concerning the
Iflalrs of the treasury department or any
other matter. I have every reason to be.
iieve that his attachment to me is as sin-
cere and great as mine is for him. I
should be much afflicted if anything
aahould cause him to entertain the thought
of giving up his position when he is do-
ing so much for his country. We have
agreed exactly as to the issue of bonds.
and there has been no backwardnoss on
his part on that subject. I see it is said
that I am formulating a financial scheme.
If such a scheme is presented, it will be
the work of the secretary of the treasury.
and I shall lndorse and support it.
“The trouble seems to be that those
charged with the executive duties of the
government do not appear willing at all
times to take the councils of the newspa-
pers and make public all that they intend
to do. "

hammer. Nev. io.—Androw Allison.
the chancellor. was shot and instantly
killed hero byGoergo K. Whltworth. The
murderer slid the judge had been at odds
over political matters for many months
putt When the chancellor came out of
thocourtroum. Whitworth attempted to
renew the quarrel. alleging that the
judge had done him a great injustice in
having his son, 'Granvillo Allison. Ip-
pointcd clerk and master of the court.
Whltworth had held the latter position
for more than six years.
Chancellor Allison remarked that if
Wbltworth had attended closer to his du-
did not concern him he would still have
remained clerk. Whitworth. who had
been drinking. replied with an oath that
the chancellor bad neglected his duty and
had appeared on the bench when he was
not in a fit condition to transact the busi-
ness of the court.
The judge was about to reply. it is said,
when the ex-olerk drew his revolver and
fired, the ball piercing the chancellor's
left lung. The report of the weapon. ro-
sounding through the court corridor, soon
brought a number of attaches and law-
yers to the scene. Before any questions
could be asked Whitworth turned his
weapon against himself. He is fatally
wounded and will probably die. Among
the spectators was Granville Allison. who
rushed from the courtroom just as Whit-
worth shot himself. There is great ox-
citement over the tragedy. .ae chancel-
lor was immensely popular ..mi an able
jurist.
Chancellor Owed the (.lerk €05,000.
Further developments show that the
killing was not caused by the proposed
appointment by the chancellor of his son
as clerk, succeeding Whitworth, whose
term expires today. it was generally be-
lieved at first that Whitworth killed the
chancellor because he refused to reappoint
him. The facts later developed do not
sustain this theory. From men familiar
with the transactions between the two it
is learned that the cause of the tragedy
was the failure of Allison to settle or see
cure a large sum due from him to Whit
worth for moneys loaned. said to be about
$25,000.
For seine weeks efforts have been made
by Whitworth to secure assttlementwith-
out success. Frequently arbitrators were
appointed. Samuel Keith. a prominent
banker. representing Whitworth and 'I‘.
M. integer. a leading lawyer, acting for
Allison. For some days they had been
trying to bring about a satisfactory set~
tlement. and yesterday Whltworth was
informed that they could accomplish
nothing. The shooting followed.
Last Sunday it was announced that
Wbltworth would not succeed himself.
and it was feared that trouble would re-
sult immediately by some. hates the days
passed and nothing happened the entire
city was duixlfounded when the news
spread abroad that the chancellor had
been killed by his clerk. Allison was
about 50 years old and had just begun his
second term of eight years. having been
re elected in August last. George K.
Whitworth was about 42 years old. held
several public oillces and was an active
Democratic politician.
Only one man—Joseph ll. Ackien~saw
the tragedy. The chancellor had just ad
journed the court and left the room. on-
tered the hall and was about to descend
the steps. Whltworth. who was in the
hall. said:
“Oh. judge?" and as be turned fired
at him.
Acklen rushed to him, and as he did so
heard two shots behind him. Turning.
he saw that Whitworth had shot himself
with a pistol. After the first firing lisp-
into the hallway and saw Whltworth
shoot himself the first time. He called
to him. and Whitworth told him to stand
of! and backed away from him. preparing
to about himself again. West grappled
with him. but too late. and the second
shot was fired. both taking effect in the
left breast.
Whitworth was perfectly cool and col~
looted during the shooting and also after
the affair. and expressed no regrets. but
desired to know if he had killed his man.
stating that no man who had treated him
as Allison had done could live in tiresome
country with him.
The body of the dead chancellor was
removed to his home. and Wbltworth
was taken to his.

BIRLII. Nov. iii—Tho massive germ.
meat building. the new reichstag struc-
, taro. was fonnoliy opened today. it is by
no means complete, but it is the young
kaisor's earnest wish that the German
parliament should hold its next session
in the great hall designed for It. There
is fully another year's work within the
building in the way of great decorations
and the making and placing of the state-
ary designed to illl the thousand niches
in the massive corridors of thismonu-
mental structure.
For iii years the workmen have been
busied on this building” which. with its
graceful front. faces the famous green
sword of the still more famous Thlorgon
ton and with its terraced roar looks down
upon the hustle and turmoil of busy Bee
liu. It is an ideal location. selected so it
was by the greatest of Germany's land-
scape artists. From its top. on whichtho
.mperiel crown rests like I gem set in
the sky. the visw of the great city is on—
traneiug. it towers oven above the great
column of Victory. which commemorates
the result of the Franco-German war.
The statue of Germsnio holds the place
of honor on the facade. and the friszos
underneath it are adorned with the Ger-
man arms and mythological figures tell»
ing the story of early Teutonic times.
Underneath this is thodedicatory inscrip
tlcn. “To the German People." Tia Ger-
man letters form the words. "Dem Dent
schen Volke." The ornamental work
and the statuary which already adorn the
outside of the structure are the work of
a host of Germany's masters. among
whom towers the sculptor of the Germs.
nia statue. Reinhold Vegas.
It was in 1880 that the reiehsrath first
gave to the world [the conception of this
new structure. It seemed to be an im-
pulse of the nation. and the German pop-
ulation showed in unmistakable ways that
nothing would tend more to completely
cement the German federation than a
monumental structure which would be-
long to the nation and be typical not
alone of its unity. but of its great ad-
vanws'in science. art and architecture.
It was to be a crowning event in the his.
tory of the new Germany. and this indeed
it has proved to be. When on June ii,
1884.- tho old emperor. William I. laid the
cornerstone. his impressive words, few as
they were. breathed the noble spirit of
patriotism. and were much in the nature
of a prediction that the completion of the
structure would find reunited Germany
the strongest nation on the face of the
earth.
Not until lbs-J was the prize architec-
tural competition decided. Hundreds of
plans had been submitted by the greatest
and the least. by the masters and the me-
diocre. and it remained for a man prac-
tically unknown to even his own nation
to win the great prize.
It was to Paul Wallet that the honor
was accorded. lie is now not alone a
great architect. but a talented landscape
artist and a remarkably clover civil en
ginoor. It was he who laid out the fat
mous Central cemetery of Dresden. and
in lli-‘il took third prize in the competi-
tion for the conception of the great Ste.
phanla bridge of Vienna.
The cost of the building will. when
completed. reach perhaps commune
marks. This is exactly double the amount
at first voted to carry out the colossal
project. Had the original design for in-
terior (laceration and statuary been car-
ried out. it is likely that the building
would have cost oysr 100. 0011.000 marks.
