The other of the gar- ments were found ina bundle beside the body. The man was frozen, At first it was thought that the man bad died from hemorrhage as the police reported that there were no marks of viplence on the body. An autopsy performed later by Dr. Derome at the mergue established that the man had died from wounds on the head. he coroner had the inquest postroned for a week to al- low the police to make further search but nothing new was discovered.

The work on the case was left in the hands of the police after the in- quest, and the case seemed to have been dropped. Yesterday, however, Inspector Robert, Captain Langevin and Lieut.

London, June 15.--On the strength of the military situation in France, the German militarist jour- nals apparently have been inspired to put forward new German peace terms of the most aggressive char- acter. There is not much talk now of peace without indemnities and annexations. On the contrary, there is to be the severest punishment for all Germany's opponents, according to these newspapers. The Kruez Zeitung says that as regards Great Britain, victorious Germany will require the reduction of the British navy to a martime police force; the cession to an In- ternational council Gibraltar, Malta, Aden and Singfpore; guar- antees against measures against German tradd¢; provision for the supply to Germany of raw ma- terials under most favored nation terms, and the restoration of all the conquered German colonies. In re- tarn for these concessions, Germany would bé prepared to retire from Belgium, "taking the Congo State in her pocket. The Kreux Zeitung says fit thinks this is, on the whole, a modest pro- gramme. RECORD STEER PRICE $18 Per Hundred on Chicago Market Yesterday.
