On the I'd instant the dead body Of a
man was found by some haymakers
lying on the river bank near the
old Clayton ranch, in Douglas county.
1t is supposed to be the body of a man
named Grady, Notwithstanding the
fact that a body which was supposed
to be Grady's was found sometime
since in the Carson Q Empire. The
corpse was dressed in pantaloons, and
the feet had boots on. One Carson
Smith was lately drowned, but the
body found Is not at all in appearance

A gentleman who came up from the
West last Thursday informs the Elko
Independent that a courier arrived on
horseback at Carlin about daylight the
day before, bearing secret dispatches
for the Leopard Mining Company, San
Frarcisco-having ridden from Cornu-
copia the night previous. The fact of
dispatches being rushed through in
this manner would indicate that some-

The Debate I'm the House Of Lords
on the Ex% tradition Question.
LONDON, Ang. 3.

LONDON, Ang. 3.
In the House Of Lords this evening
the debate on the extradition question
was resumed. Lord Cairns made a
speech in defense of the position as
sumed by her Majesty's Government
in the controversy with that OF the
United States, arguing with copious
citations to show it was supported by
the principles laid down by all writer's
on international law, and maintaining
that that course was justified by the
treaty itself.
Lord Selburn acknowledged that the
speeches by Lords Derby and Cairns
in 1866 were consistent with the argu-
ments put forward by them to-day,
butwith these exceptions the views held
by Great Britain on the subject had
been uniformly the same as those
taken by Secretary Fish, that the
United States had the right after the
surrender of a prisoner under the
treaty to try him on any charge ex-
cept of a political character.
The motion of Granville calling for
the correspondence with the United
States was then withdrawn and the
debate ended.
The Cause Of the Turkish.Servian
War.
LONDON, Aug. 3.
The text of the official declaration of
the Turkish Government explaining
why it entered into the war against
Servia, has been received. The docu-
ment charges that the Servians TO-
mented the ~insurrection in Herzego-
vina, and the Porte was compelled to
ask an explanation of the extraor-
binary preparations made by Servia.
Prince Milan subsequently invaded
the Turkish provinces and was Joined
in his hostile movement by Montene-
gro, and Turkey has no alternative.
silver I'm Demand.
LONDON, Aug. f..
The Times says: Silver was in de-
mand last night at 81 pence per ounce,
and some Indian buyers have tried to
get a supply at 51I pence, but there Is
no stock here. The impression pre-
walls in some quarters that Germany
is holding back her supply for higher
prices; but it is very doubtful whether
Germany and her supply of silver may
o he merely a bugbear; but bat
there must he now considerable gen.
uine demand for it is certain. Finan-
ciers say bar silver was yesterday
quoted at 51M pence to so pence, but
no transactions were reported in con-
sequence OF the absence OF supplies.

PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES
FROM
Singular Suicide.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4.
A young man named Paul FISCHER
committed suicide last night in a build
ing on the northwest corner OF Broad
way and Mason streets, under novel
circumstances. Deceased was % years
Of age, followed the avocation OF a
shoemaker, and has been for a long
time a nightly visitor at the saloon in
the building described. His regular
attendance was attributable TO an at
tachment he had conceived for the
sister-in law of the saloon proprietor,
a German girl, aged about Y years.
He piled his suit with great assiduity,
but was firmly refused by the young
lady. Last he was in the sa
loon, as usual, until a late hour. Al
IL 80 o'clock the girl sought her room
on the second floor, and while disrOb-
ing she was startled by hearing a voice
under her bed exclainI, "Oh, my God!
| am killed." and Immediately after
ward a pistol shot. She screamed and
a moment after her brother-in aw
rushed in, and looking under the bed
found the body of young Fischer ly-
ing face downward in a pool of blood,
with a revolver in his right hand
pointed al his head. He had been shot
through the head and had evidently
died almost Immediately. He must
have stolen into the room some time
before the astonished inmate entered,
though what motive he had In COM
hitting suicide under such singular
circumstances is a subject for con

ing says the Indians have stolen all
the saddle horses from the Mexicans
in and around Tecarte. The Indians
were passing too and from across lines
all night, while flags were flying
over most of the houses waiting
the arrival of the Governor. A dis
patch from Captain Bernard this even
ing says the Indians, numbering, the
report says, from 60 to 800, have taken
a stand in the mountains south of Te-
carte, waiting the arrival of the Mexi-
a II from San Rafael, and say NO Mex
leans can pass there. They have
brought their families and baggage to
this side of the line. Well informed
persons here say this condition OF af-
fairs has been brewing for q long time.

ing well his appetite. His operations were
gigantic, but they were all shaped by the
Well-detined laws of trade. He was not a
rash speculator, defying prudence and over
reaching himself in spasmodic efforts to be-
come rich. The times undoubtedly favored
him ; his commercial transactions were car
ried on in the period which marks the
greatest development America has ever, Or
possibly ever will, know in the same num-
Der of years still it must be admitted that,
it required a keen intellect and remarkable
industry to expand five thousand dollars in
to fifty millions. Mr.. Stewart was a man
among ten thousand. He was the king of
merchants. We doubt if the mex century
produces another like him. Although he
toiled from youth to old age like a slave and
amassed a gigantic fortune, he was as poor
as any beggar who walks the street when
the hand OF death was laid upon him. When
the summons came he had to 60 and leave
the millions so patiently gathered to be
scattered, possibly, by unknown hands. He
died in a palace, but the worm will feed as
greedily upon his cheek as it does upon that
of the miserable wretch who was carried
from the Morgue to a pauper's grave.
Mr.. Stewart was aged IS when he died.
He had lived the allotted span, and should
have been content to go. 1t is gratifying to
learn that he provided for the carrying on
of his great commercial business. 1t would
have been unfortunate to have broken up
we'll established lines of communication and
to have thrown thousands out of employ
ment at a moments warning.-7mJ Field
