Thn announcement from Colombo that Mnjor-Gencrnl Macdon ald Is to bo tried by court-martial ou most serious charges of immorul con duct will undoubtedly prove to be the greatest, sensation In liritlsh military circles since the case of Colonel Vuieii tiue P.nker, who was sentenced August '.1S".1. ti pny a fine of 27,(V) and to undergo twelve montliV imprisonment for Indecently assaulting a lady in a railroad en: iage. 1 Geni'Vfil Macdonald was re girded its one of Hritnln's great soldieis.

Two notes written in Knglish were found lying on a table in bis room, and these were taken possession of by the au thorities, but it is understood that their contents Lave no bearing on the sui cide.

Belter For Macdonald to lle aa He !ld Thau t'mtm Dlilionur, London. The tragic end of "Fight ing Mac," who rose from tlftjosltion of a draper's atsistant to atj'j&rfo'.wl ieheral in tlie British Aftuv. has caused great surprise and dep sorrow in London. V. nature of the offenses wirii which he was charged had not be come generally known to the public, but had been common gossip in mili tary circles, and although iu the Army and among his Highland comrade cs peclnlly, there Is keen grief, their feel ing is that it wns "better to die thus than face dishonor." Sir Hector Macdonald was separated from his wife many years ago, before he ohtained his commission. He had not lived with her since. He leaves a son, who Is being educated in an Eng lish public school. Sir Hector's great chance came when, as a Sergeant )n the Afghan campaign of 187!-lK'sV), with a small force, he. by a furious bayonet charge, cleared out a body of Afghans who were lying In ambush for Lord Roberts. For this feat Lord Koberts offered him the choice of the Victoria Cross or a coin mission. He chose the latter. His greatest military achievement was leaii'ig the Black Soudanese Jirlgade In the Soudan campaltm against' the Khalifa'., ,1'ho official announcement made by the Governor of Ceylon in tjie Legis lature that General Macdonald would be court-martialed and ' the publicity' given to the affair were evidently tl.o determining motives for the suicide. Macdonald' s friends attribute the im tortuuate buisiness to his broken health and shattered nerves, the-outcome of the campaigns In the Soudan and South Africa. An attack of dysentery and a touch of sunstroke at Paardeb'erg left serious effects, end a 'wound he re col red In ihe leg healed badly. ,It Is steted Hint lie often complained of pains In the head, and In Ceylon hls health ami ihe depression-from which he was suffering grew worn to such nn extent that there was talk of lu viilldlng hlni from the service." The newspapers here comment sym pathetically on the Inexpressibly pitiful end of a brave man. DOC PICKED OUT HUSBAND. , nioodhound Fixed I7joii IVUlarri Catt a III Formnr Wire's Murderer.
