It appears from recent developments
that the condition of the Treasury of

in tho consideration of further action
as to the Panama canal. As the bill
which antagonized the treaty with Co

a moment later a pistol shot rang out.
One of his sisters ran in great haste to
his room, which was in darkness, and
making a light found her brother
lying on his backon the bed with a
revolver lying by nli ald. Physicians
were summoned, but his aim had been
true and he was quite dead and beyond

on the bed or had lain down and
pressed the pistol against his breast

Tbe rosin is valued at $10,000 and

gained big headway before the fire
men got their engines across the river,
which was done by means of lighters.
For a time the entire district where
are located 450,000 worth of naval
stores and other valuable property,
was in danger of burning. A shift of
wind at the critical moment enabled
the firemen to check the flames. Tbe
origin of the fire is unknown.
