As A result of the enactment of the Fond liquor law, imposing a license of §800' npon all saloons in the large cities, at the re- oeat session of the Ohio Legislature, the Re­ publicans were badly beaten at the municipal election*! throughout the State. The Demo­ crats earned Cincinnati, Cleveland, To­ ledo, Columbus, Mount Vernon and other cities by very decisive majorities, In Cincinnati the majority is about 5.000. Cleveland, which usually goes Republican by 3,000 or 4,000, gave the Democratic ticket 1,000 majority. Toledo elected the Democratic ticket by about 11,000 majority. Indianapolis, Ind., also gave a Democratic majority of 600, the German vote being generally cast against tha Republicans. THH Demoarats were successful in the Chicago municipal election, a majority of the Aldermen chosen being of that political persuasion. The Democratic candidates for dbwn officers were chosen in the North Di­ vision by 4,500 majority, in the West Division by 400, and in the South Division by 100. Minneapolis had an exciting contest on the saloon question, Ames, the rep­ resentative of the liquor interest, beating Loring, Republican, for Mayor, by nearly 2,000 votes. In Milwaukee John M. Stowell,.Demo­ crat, was chosen Mayor over Ludington by about 2,300 majority. The Democrats made a clean sweep of Madison, Wis., carrying every ward, and electing their Mayor by 908 majority. In Kipon, Janesville, La .Crosse, Watertawp, and Oshkosh, the Democratic municipal tickets were also elected, the Republicans carrying Berlin, Jeffer- aon, Manitowoc and Portage. Fort Wayn% Ind., elected s Deinocratic Mayor, while the Republicans were successful in Wabash, Elk­ hart and Madison. The Republicans made a clean sweep in the local election at 8t Joaepb, Mo., electing their Mkvor by 1,0361 majority. At Topeka, Lawrence, Junction City and Manhattan, Kan., the election resulted in the defeat of the Temperance tickets, the liquor question being the sole issue at stake. THE House Committee on Elections decided, 10 to 2, to report in favor of ousting Gen. Chalmers from the seat for the Sixth dis­ trict of Mississippi, and admitting Lynch the colored contestant. Under the recent reap­ portionment the county in which Chalmers re­ sides has been placed in a district with 10,000 Bepublican majority. THB municipal eleotion in Kansas City resulted in a sweeping victory for the Re­ publicans. Keokuk and D ubuque, Iowa, elected Democratic Mayors. Leadville, Col., elected the Republican municipal ticket. In the Michi­ gan local elections Democratic Mayors were ehosen in Niles, Marshall, Charlotte, Ionia, Tpsilanti, Alpena, Ann Arbor, Ludington, East Saginaw, Saginaw City, Adrian (succeeding the Republican "kid"), Mt. Clemens and Green­ ville. In Lansing and Grand Rapids, the Demo-Greenback fusion tickets were elected. The Republicans carried Cold- water.

Sbipherd reappeared before the House Peruvian Investigating Committee at Washington, on the 5th inst., and the taking of testimony was resumed. Chairman Williams read a letter from the late Minister Hurl but, stating that he would sail April 6, and that the United States had a bad reputation in Lima. Hhipherd read a postscript to his letter of May 20, in which he announced that his clients had reconsidered their intention of offering Gen. Grant tho Presidency of the company. He then expressed the opinion that Minister Hurlbut haa obstructed and frustrated his purposes, and was seconded by his chief; the late Secre­ tary of Stute. The examination of J. B. Shipherd was con­ tinued before the Congressional committee, on the 6th, wben he testified concerning an interview with Minister Hurlbut, May 30, as follows: " I think I can givo Hurlbut s exact language* In speaking of our claim he slapped his hand, upon his knee, with some emphasis, and said : ' Mr. Shipherd, I did not come all the way down here from Washington to assure you how in­ finitely , our Government would prefer to settle all this matter through the op- portutiKy your company offers;' " He also thought Minister llurlbut did not help the company owing to the fact that he was paid by Credit iiidnstriel not to call upon him a second time.

Being further pressed about sending copies of the, prospectus to members of Con- rgess, Shipherd, at first declining to give the names, finally stated that the only member of the House of Representatives whom he recollected as sending a copy was to Hewitt, of New York. He mentioned his name, as tuat gentleman hod already stated tha lact in the Houfswand his distinct recollection was that froinHewitt he had only a verbal response.

Hie following is the full test of the Presi­ dent's message vetoing the aati-Chineae bill: To the Senate: After a careful consideration of Senate bill No. 71.entitled "Anact toexeente certain treaty stipulations relating to Chinese," I herewith return it to the Senate, in which it originated, with my objections to its passage. A nation is justified in repudiating its treaty obligations only When they are in conflict with great paramount interests. Even then all pos­ sible reasonable means for modifying or chang­ ing these obligations by mutual agreement should be exhausted before resorting to the supreme right of refusal to comply with them. These rules have governed the United States in thei/ p*st intercourse with other powers, as one of tbe family of nations. I «m persuaded that if Congress can feel that this aot violates tbe faith of tho nation, as pledged to China, it will concnf with me in re­ jecting this mode of regulating Chinese immi­ gration, and will ottdeavor to find another which ».htH meet the expectations of the people of the United States without coming in conflict with the rights of China. The present treaty relations between that power and the United States spring from an antagonism which arose between our paramount domestic in­ terests and our previous relations. The treaty commonly known as the Burlin- game treaty conferred upon Chinese sub­ jects the 'right of voluntary emigration to the United States for the purpose of curiosity or trade, or as permanent residents, and was in all respects reciprocal as to citizens of the United States in China. It gave to the voluntary emigrant coming to the United States the right to travel there or reside there, with all the privileges, immunities or exemp­ tions enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the molt favored nation. TJnder the operations of this treaty it was fouud the institutions of the United States and the char­ acter of its people and their means of ob­ taining a livelihood might be seriously af­ fected by aHr-imreHtricted introduction of Chinese labor. Congress attempted to alleviate this condition by legislation, but tbe act which it paesed proved to be in violation of our treaty obligations, and, being returned by the President with his ob­ jections, failed to become a law. Diplomatic relief was then Bought, A new treaty was con­ cluded with China, Without abrogating the Burlingame treaty it was agreed to modify it so far that the Govornmont of the United States might regulate, limit or suspend tho coming of Chinese laborers to the United States, or their residence therein, but that it should not abso­ lutely prohibit them, and that the limitation or suspension should be reasonable, and should apply only to the Chinese who might go to the United States as laborers, other classes not being included in the limitation. This treaty is unilateral not reciprocal. It is a concession from the Chinese Government to the United States, or a limitation of the rights which she was enjoying under the Burlingame treaty. It leaves us by our own act to determine when and how we will enforce these limitations. China may therefore fairly have the right to expect that in enforcing them we will take good care not to overstep this grant, and take mere than has been conceded us. It is but a year since this new treaty, un­ der the operation of the constitution, became part of the supreme law of the land, and the present act is the first attempt at the exercise of the more enlarged powers which China re­ linquishes to the United States, in its first ar­ ticle the United States is empowered to decide whether the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States, or their residence therein, affects or threatens to affect our interests, or to endanger good order, either within the whole country or any part of it The act recites that 44 in the opinion of tho Government of the United States, the coming of Chinese laborers to this country endangers good order in cer­ tain localities thereof," but the act itself is much broader than the recital. It acts upon residence as well as immigration; its provisions are effective throughout the United States. I think it may fairly be accepted as an expres­ sion of the "opinion of Congress that tbe coming of such laborers to the United States, or their residence1 here, affects our interests and en­ dangers good order throughout the country. On this point I should feel it my duty to accent the views of Congresa. icle further oonfers the power ?psaa?6.."eJs of such" Mflboftimx>, dt their residence in, the United States/ The negotiators of the treaty have recorded, with unusual fullness, their un­ derstanding of the sense and meaning with wbich these words were used. As the clasB of persons to be affected by the treaty, the Amer­ icans inserted in their draft of the provisions' that the words "Chinese laborers" signifies all immigration, other than that for teach­ ing, trade, travel, study and curiosity. The Chinese objected to this, in that it operated to include artisans in a class of laborers whose emigrations might be forbid­ den. The Americans replied that they could not consent that artisans shall be excluded from the class of Chinese laborers, for it is their very competition of skilled labor in cities where Chinese labor immigrants concentrate, which Las caused embarrassment and popular discontent In subsequent negotiations this definition was dropped out, and doefe not ap­ pear in the treaty. Artlole 1 of the. treaty oonfers the rights, privileges, immunities and exemptions which are accorded to citizens and subjects of the most favored nation upon Chinese subjects proceed­ ing to us as teachers, students, merchants or from curiosity. The American Commissioners report that the Chinese Government claimed that in this article they did, by exclusion, provide nobody should be entitled to claim the benefit of the general provisions of the Burlingame treaty but those who might go to the United States in these capacities or for these purposes. I accept this as a definition of the word "laborers" as used in the treaty. AsHo the power or legislation respecting this class of persons, the new treaty provides: "We may not absolutely prohibit" their coming or their residenos. The Chinese Commissioners gave notice in the outBet that they would never agree to the prohibition of voluntary emigra­ tion. Notwithstanding this, the United States Commissioners submitted a draft in which it was provided tho United States might " regu­ late, limit, suspend or prohibit" it The Chinese refused to accept this. Ttie Americans re­ plied ihev were willing to consult tbe wishes of the Chinese Government in preserving the principle of free intercourse between the poople lot the two countries, as established fjy existing treaties, provided the right of tho United States Government to use its discretion *iu guarding against any possible evils of the immigration of Chinese laborers was distinctly recognized. Therefore, if Buch concession removes all difficulty on tbe part of the Chinese Commissioners (but only in that cause), tho Untied States Commissioners will agree to re­ move the word "prohibit" from their article, an 1 to use the words " regulate, limit or sus- puutl." The Chinese reply to this can only be inferred from tlie fact that--in placo or'the agreement as proposed by our Commissioners that w< might prohibit the coming or residence of Chinese lal>orers--there was inserted in the treaty an agreement that we might not do it Tho remaining words, " regulate, limit, and suspend," first appear in the American draft When it was submitted to the Chiuese, they said : " We infer that, of the phrases, regu­ late, limit, suspend or prohibit, the first is a general expression referring to the others. We are entirely ready to negotiate w tU your Excellencies to tho end that limitations, either in point of time or numbers, may be ttxed upon, of the emigration ot Chinese laborers to the United States. At a subsequent interview it was understood that by "limitation of number1' they meant, for eximple, that ttie Untied States, having, as they supposed, by record, the number or im- migrtitious in each year, as well as the total number of Chinese now here, that no more should be allowed to go in anv oue year in tbe future than the greatest number which had gonu in the past or tUat ttie total number should never be allowed to exceed the number now there. As to the limitation to time, they meant, for example, (hat the Chinese should be allowed to go in alternate years, or everv third year, or, for example, tb»t they should not be allowed to go for two, three or five years. At a subsequent conference the Americans said the Chine.-it: Coatnissiouers have in their project ex illicitly recqgnized the right of the United States to use <ome discretion, and have projwsed limitation ts to time and number. This is the right to wgulate, limit or suspend. In one of the conferences the Chinese asked the Americans whether they could give them any idea of the lawa ntbioli would be passed to carry these powers into execution. The Ameri­ cans answered this ootid hardly be done ; that tue United Htates Government might never deem it necessary fco exercise this power. It would depend upon circumstances. If Chinese immigration concentrated in cities where it threatened public ord<|r, or if it confined itself to localities where itffas an injury to the inter­ ests of the American jjeople, the Government of the United States ^ould undoubtedly take step* to prevent suck xvnmulaQons of Chi- nssfc {f, on ths oont ary, there wss no laigsr &m,art> then wero •sottom at (in this power would be adapted to mh . iteaet*, For example, there aright bs a Swasnd for lIMasw labor in the Boofltiiada surplus of mek Jabor in California; then Oon- grsss ariyht isgisiale in s«otjhnes with these faets.

With this entire accord as to the meaning of the words they were about to employ, and the object of the legislation which ought be had in consequence, both parties signed the treaty. In article 1, in which the Government of China agrees that the Government of the United States may regulate, limit or suspend such coming or residence, but may not abso­ lutely prohibit it, it is stated tbe limitation the limitation. The legislation taken in regard to Chinese laborers will be of such character only as to necessary to enforce the regulation, limitation or suspension of immigration. The first section of the set provides that from and after the expiration of sixty days next after the passage of this set, and until the expiration of twenty years next after the passage of thin act, the coming of Chinese laborers shall be, and the same ia hereby, suspended, and during such suspension it shall not be lawful for any Chinese laborer to come, or, having so come after the expiration of said sixty davs. to re­ main in the United States. The examination which I have made of the treaty and of the declarations which its ne­ gotiators have left on record of the meaning of its language leaves no doubt in my mind that neither contracting party, in concluding the treaty of 1880, oontemolated the passage of an act prohibiting immigration for twenty years, which isjiearly a generation, or thought that such period would be a reasonable suspen­ sion or limitation, or intended to change the provisions of the Burlingame treaty to that ex­ tent. I regard this provision of the act as a breach of our national faith, and, being unable to bring myself in harmony with the views of Congress on this vital point, the honor of the country constrains me to return the act with this objection to its passage. Deeply convinced of the necessity of some legislation on this subject, and concurring fully with Congress with any of tbe objects which are sought to be accomplished, I will avail myself of the opportunity to point out some other features of the act which in my opinion can be modified to advantage. The classes of the Chinese who still enjoy the protection of the Burlingame 'treaty are entitlod to the privileges, immunities and exemptions accorded the citizen? and sub­ jects "of the most favored nation. We have treaties with many powers which permit their citizens and subjects to .reside within the United States and carry on business under the same laws and regulations which are en­ forced against citizens of the United States. I think it may be doubted whether the pro­ visions requiring personal registration and the taking out of passports, which are not imposed upon natives, can be required of the Chinese. Without expressing an opiuion oq that point I may invite the attention of Congress to the fact that the system of personal registration and passports is undemocratic and hostile to the spirit of our institutions. I doubt the wisdom of putting an entering wedge of this kiud into our laws. A nation like the United States, jealous of the liberties of its citizens, may well hesitate before it incorporates into its policy a system which is fast disappearing in Europe before the progress of liberal institutions. Wide experience has shown how futile such precautions are, and Low easily passports may b© borrowed, exchanged, or even forged by persons interested. If it is, never­ theless, thought that a passport is the most convenient way for identifying the Chinese en­ titled to the protection of the Burlingame treaty, it may still be doubted whether they ought to be required to register. It is certainly our duty under the Burlingame treaty to make their stay in the United States ami the opera­ tion of the general laws upon them as nearly like that of our own citizens as we can consis­ tently with our right to shut out the laborers. No good purpose is served in reqairiqg them to register. Hy attention has been drawn by the Chinese Mtniatw to tba. rMtTthmt the V&~Wlt"H0W stands, makes no provision for the transit across the United States of Chiuese subjeots now re­ siding in foreign countries. I think this point may well claim the attention of Congress in leg­ islating upon this subject I have said that good failhjretiuires us to suspend the immigra­ tion of Chinese laborers for a less period than twenty years. I now add that good policy points in the same direction. Our intercourse with China is of recent date. Our first treaty with that power is not yet forty years old. It is only since we acquired California and established the great seat of commerce on the Pacific that we may be said to have broken down the walls which fenijpd tuat ancient monarchy. The Bur­ lingame treaty naturally followed, and, under the spirit which inspired it many thousands of Chinese laborers came to the United States. No one can say the country has not profited by their work. They were largely instrumental in constructing the railways which connect the Atlantic and Pacific. The States of the Pacific are full of evidences of their industry. Enterprises profit­ able to the capitalists and to the la­ borers of Caucasian origin would have been dormant but. for them. The time has now come when it is supposed they are not needed, and when it is thought by Congress and by those most acquainted with the subject that it is best to try to get along without them. There may, however, be other sections of the country where this species of labor may be advantage­ ously employed wiihotit interfering with the laborers of our own race. It may be a part of wisdom, as well as good faitb, to fix the length of the experimental period with reference to this fact. Experience has shown that tho trade of the East is the key to national wealth and influence. Hie ooemng of China to the commerce of the whole world has benefited no section of it more than the States of our own Pacific slope. The State of California and its great maritime ports especially have reaped enormous advantages from this source. Blessed with an exceptional climate, enjoying an unrivaled harbor, with the riches of a great agricultural and mining State at its rear, and the wealth of tho whole Union pouring into it over its lines of railways, San Fran­ cisco has an incalculable future, if our friendly and amicable relations with Asia remain undisturbed. It needs no argument to show the policy which we now propose to adopt must have a direct tendency to repel Oriental nations from us, and drive tbeir trade and commerce into more friendly hands. It may be that the great and paramount interest of protection of our labor (rom Asiatic competition justifies us in the per- muiu nt adoption of this policy, but it is wiser in the first place to make a shorter experiment, with the view hereafter of maintaining perma­ nently only such features ss time and experience may commend. I transmit herewith copies of papers relating to the recent treaty, which accompanied the confidential message of President Hayes to the Senate on the 10th of January, 1881, and also a copy of the memorandum respecting the act herewith returned, wbich was handed to the Secretary of State by the Chinese Minister in Washington. CRESTKB A. ARTHUR. EXKCITTIVB MANSION, XVABHIUGTON, April 4,183S. OBJECTIONS SCLTXABIZED --THE FBXSIDENT'S NOTES. Following are the momoranda attached to ths veto uiess'.'ge: 1. Tne time fixed in the bill, namely, twenty years, is unreasonable. The language of Article 1, that "laborers" shall not be abso­ lutely prohibited from coming to the United States, and that, "suspension shall be reason­ able," as well as the negotiatons, indicate that a brief period was intended. A total pro­ hibition of the immigration of Chinese labor­ ers into the United States for twenty years wouM, in my opinion, be unreasonable and si violation of the meaning and intent of the treaty. 2. The inclusion of "skilled labor" in the bill is an addition to the words and intent of the treaty. It will operate with harshness upon the class of Chinese merchants entitled t J admission to tho United States under the terms of the treaty. The shoe merchants and cigar merchants of China manufacture the goods they sell at their places of busi­ ness, and to shut out "skilled labor" would practically shut, them out as well, since it would prevent tin m from carrying ou their business m this country. A laundryman who beeps his shop and has a. small capital with wbich to pros ©cute his trade cannot in any just sense be termed a " laborer." and the merchant tailor comes in the same categorjr. 3. The clauses of the biil relating to registra­ tion and passports are vexatious discrimination against Chinese residents and immigrations, when article % provides exolidtly that they shall be entitled to all privileges concerted to the subjects of tbe most favored nation.

Jesse James, probably the most daring and soocsssful bandit that ever operated on this continent met his death at St Joeeph, Mo., on the morning of the 8<1 of April, under most un­ expected and extraordinary circumstances. The treachery of two trusted friends and companions in crime--men in whom Jesse James must have ihposed unbounded eon- fidence--accomplished in an instant what the State of Missouri, with her numerous Sheriffs, conatables, policemen and detectives, all stimulated by fabulous rewinds to do their bravest and cleverest, had failed to accomplish. Unknown to his nearest neigh­ bor, Jesse James had for several months lived with his wife and two children in a humble dwelling in the outskirts of St Joseph. In his stable were several fine hones, either stolen or purchased with stolen money ; upon his person a gold watch, stolen some years ago from the man who is is now Governor of Missouri; in his house a perfect arsenal of guns, revolvers, pis­ tols, bombs; knives, dirks and other weapons; and yet wo one knew anything of all this--no one in tho city except the two brothers, Charles and Robert Ford, who had for ton days or more lived in the house as members of the family. These men? tempted by the vast eums of money set as a prioe on the bead of the out­ law, a,t last found the ooveted opportunity. White James wss dressing, having for a mo­ ment laid aside his belt of revolvers, one of the brothers, taking the precaution to step be­ tween his victim ana his weapons, sent a bullet into the back of his head, and the bloody ca­ reer of Jesse James was ended then and there. The details of ths killing are furnished in ths following telegraphio report from St Joseph: There is little doubt that the killing was ths result of a premeditated plan formed by Robert and Charles Fnrd several months ago. Charles had been an accomplice of Jesse James since the 3d of last November, and entirely possessed his confidence. Robert, his brother, joined Jesse near Mrs. Samuels' house, mother of the James boys, last Friday a week ago, and accom­ panied Jesse and Charles to this city Sunday, March 23. Jesse, his wife, and two children removed from Kansas City, where they had lived several months, until they feared their whereabouts would be suspected, in a wagon to this city, arriving here Nov. 1,1881, accompanied by Charles Ford, and rented a house on the corner of Lafayette and Twenty- first streets, -where they stayed two months,, when they secured the house numbered 1318 on Lafayette street, formerly the property of Councilman Aylesbury, paying §14 a.month for it, and giving the name of Thomas Howard. The house is a one-story cottage, painted white, with green shutters, and romantically situated on the brow of a lofty eminence east of the city, commanding a fine view of the principal portion of the oity, the river and railroads, and aiapted as by nature for the perilous and des­ perate calling of James. Just east of the house is a deep gulch-like ravine, and beyond a broad expanse of open country, backed by a belt of timber. The house, except from the west aide, can be seen for several miles. There is a large yard attached to the cottage and stable where Jesse had been keeping two horses, Which wet* found there this morning. > Charles and Robert Ford baVe been occupy- tog one of the rooms in the rear of the dwtdl- kin ^ess!***aver îince " fall! *^"shorMmae ago, before Robert joined James, the latter proposed to rob the hank at Platte City. He said the Burgess murder trial would oommenoe there to-day, and his plan was, if they ooold got another companion, to take a view of the situation of the Platte City Bank, and, while arguments were * being heard in the murder case, which would engage the attention of citizens, boldly execute one of his favorite raids. Charles Fori ap­ proved of the plan, and suggested his brother Robert as a companion worny of sharing the enterprise with them, Jesse had met the boy at the lattei's house, near Richmond, three years ago, and consented to see him. The two men accordingly went to where Robert was, and arranged to have him accompany them to Platte City. As stated, all three came to Si Joe a week ago Sunday. They remained at tha house all the week, /esse thought it best that Robert should not exhibit himself on tho premises, lest the presence of three able-bodied men who were doing noth­ ing should excite suspicion. They had fixed upon to night to go to Platte City. Ever sinco the boys had been with Jesse tbey had watched for an opportunity to shoot him, but he was always so heavily armed that it was impossible to draw a weapon without huu see­ ing it They declare they had no idea of tak­ ing him alive, considering the undertaking sui­ cidal. The opportunity they had long wished for came this morning. Breakfast was over. Charles Ford* and Jesse James had been in tho stable cur­ rying the horses preparatory to their night ride. On returning to the room where Robert Ford was, Jesse said: " It's an awfully hot day." Ho pulled off his coat and vest and tossed them on the bed. Then he said: "I guess I'll take off my pistolB for fear somebody will see them if I walk in the yard." He uiv- buckled the belt iu which he carried two forty- five-caliber revolvers, one a Smith & Wesson and the other a Colt, and laid Ibem on the bed with his coat and vest Ho then picked up a dusting-brush with the intention of dusting some pictures which hung ou the wall. To do this he got on the cnair. His back was now turned to the brothers, who silently stepped be­ tween Jesse and bis revolvers, and at a motion from Charley both drew their guns. Robert was the quickest of the two. In one second he had tbe long weapon to a level with his eye, with the muzzle no more than four feet from the back of the outlaw's head. Even in that motion, though quick as thought, there was something that did not escape the acute ears of the hunted man. He made a motion as if to turn his head to ascertain the cause of that suspicious sound, but too late. A nerv­ ous pressure on the trigger, a quick flash, a sharp report and a well-directed ball crashed through the outlaw's skull. There was no outcry, just a swaying oi the body, and it fell heavily back upon the carpet The shot had been fatal, and all the bullets in the cham­ ber of Charley's levolver, still directed at Jesse's head, could not more effectually have decided the fate of the greatest bandit aud freebooter that ever figured in the pages of the country's history. The ball had "entered tbe bai-e of the skull, and made its way out through the forehead, over the left eye. It had been fired out of a Colt's 45, improved pattern, silver mouuted and pearl handled, presented by the dead man to his slayer only a few days ago. Mrs. Jumes was in the kitchen when the shoot­ ing was done, divided from the room in which the bloody tragedy occurred by the dinitig- room. She heard the shot and, dropping her household dutiej, ran into the front room. She saw her husband lying on his back and his slayers each holding his revolver in hand, mak­ ing for the fence in the rear of the house. Robert had reached the inclosure and was in the aot of scaling it when she Stepped to ttie door and called to bun, " Robert, you have doue this ; come back." Robert answored, " I swear to God I did not" They then returned to where she stood. Mrs. James ran to the side of her hus­ band and lilted up his head. Life was not ex­ tinct, and when a»ked if he was hurt, it seemed, to her that he wanted to say something but could not She tried to wash away the blood that was coursing over his face from the hole in his forehead, but it aerated to her " that the blood would oome faster than she could wash it away," and in her hands Jesse James died. Mrs. James was greatly affected by the trage­ dy, and heartrending moans and expressions of grief were sorrowful evidence of the lov tmm, Wm. He m also eonasstsd w*fe atthebaakotUbsrty.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo,, April f. , . The body of Jesse James was shipped from this city yesterday evening in custody of Mar­ shal Craig, of this city, and the family of tha dead desperado, consisting of L, W. JameS, cousin of Jesse, R. T. Mimms, the widow's brother, Mrs. James, Mrs. Samuels and the two children. It was taken to Kearney, Clay county, Mo., and buried on the James home­ stead. There has been considerable of a wrangle over the remains between H. H. Craig, Police Commissioner of Kansas City, Sheriff Timbcrlake, of day county, and the local authorities, who insisted upon seeing the body placed in tlie keeping of the relatives instead of being taken to Kansas City. Tbe body was officially turned over to Mrs. James by Coroner Heddens on an order from the Grand Jury of Buchanan county and the dispatch of Gov. Crittenden. The jam on the depot platform, as the relatives stepped from their conveyance to take the train, was tremendous. Mrs. Samuels was the most con­ spicuous personage in the throng. She insisted on having an official esoort from the citv, fear­ ing that an attempt would be made to take the hi! j from the train at Kansas City. TheFordboys are close prisoner! at the county jail, and when interviewed this morning they betrayed a nerv­ ous anxiety about their fate. Up to within twelve hours ago they did not seem to realize the gravity of their situation, but to-day Robert confessed to a reporter that if he had known that he would be thrown into a dingy cell he would not have killed Jesse. The arms and jewelry found in the outlaw's home are in tha bands of tho police, who refuse to surrender them until the question of their ownership has been fully determined. The households effects will be sold to the highest bidder. Cept E.- Ford, a brother of Robert and' Charles, arrived here yesterday.

The Faacial st the Dsapavsds, The funeral of Jesse James, the dead train-, robber, took plaoe at Kearney, the home of Mrs. Samuels, mother of the James boys, Mid was attended by a vast number of people, many •f whom had known the outlaw from bis boy­ hood days. The services took place in a* little Baptist church, where Jesse was converted, in 1866, through the influence of Miss Mimms,' his own cousin, who afterward became his wife. The faneral party left the hotel at 2:10 p. m. First oame the wagon with the corpse and next the family, next mounted officers, and last a wagoa with the reporters. An immense crowd, on horseback, on foot and in wagons followed. The pall-bearers were Sheriff Timberlake, Deputy Reed, Charley Scott J- B. Henderson, J. D. Ford, lien Flanders and James Vaughan. On the hill around the church was a big crowd. After the body was carried into the church, the services began with the hymn, " What a friend I have in Jesus." The Rev. Jones fol­ lowed in prayer, after which the hymn, " Where shall rest be found? " was sung. The Rev. J. M. Martin followed with the funeral sermon. After the Rev. Martin had concluded his remarks, which were full of comfort for the mourners, and in which he dwelt on the for­ bearance and willingness to forgive of Christ, the procession started for the farm iu the same order in wbich it weut from the hotel to the church. It wss followed by an immense orowd. The sendees at the church were very dra­ matic, as Mrs. Samuels raved and made herself so Obnoxious that many persons left. She de­ nounced the slayers of her son as cowards and murderers, and invoked the vengeance of Heaven upon tbeir heads. The body was taken to the Samuels home, about four miles from the town, aud buried in the doorvard of the house where as a boy he had played boyish pranks, and as a man driven off detoetaves fid officials scores of times. -* v - fHK MARKETS.
