SUICIDE or W. II. CLARKE.

A dispach sent out from Virginia City
last Saturday announced the suicide of
w. H. Clarke, who in the palmy days of
Phoebe was the foreman of the Raymond
4 Ely mine, also the superintendent and
one Of the principal owners Of the Her.
mes Company. The dispatch gives the
following particulars Of the suicide:
Shortly before s o'clock this morning,
William Woodward, clerk for the broker
age firm Of w. H. Clarke & Co., opened
the Office as usual and was arranging for
the, customary business Of the day when
he noticed the door of the vault ajar
Upon pulling the door open, he discovered
man lying on the floor apparently
asleep. Being alone, and supposing that
the sleeping man was burglar, he closed
the door and waited for the arrival of
Mr.. Osborne, the book-keeper, who ar.
rived about 9 o'clock. The two then
were consulting as to the course to pur.
sue, when customer of the firm came in,
and upon being apprised of the affair,
went to the vault. Upon opening the
door, he exclaimed, "My God, it is
Clarke, and he is dead!" 1t became ap.
parent, however, upon closer examina.
ton, that life was not extinct. Drs.
Bronson and Weber were summond and
the wounded man was taken from the
vault into the main office. The doctors
found that he had shot himself in the
head, behind the ear. The weapon with
which the deed was committed was an
old-fashioned Colts revolver, with the
barrel cut short. 1t was found on the
floor of the vault, on the left side of the
postrate man. On his right breast was
large bowie.knife attached to his vest.
The floor of the vault was covered with
blood and about two ounces Of brains
were scattered against the walls. The
physicians from the first pronounced the
case hopeless, but though unconscious, he
chung to life with wonderful tenacity.
On the floor of his Office, he moved his
limbs as one in nervous sleep. Wild
reports were Immediately set aAoat of the
act Of Clarke, that it was due to financial
embarrassment. His numerous custom.
ers soon thronged the sidewalk in front
Of his Office. He had q large clientage
among the miners, and these composed
the majority of the anxious throng.
Many Of them declared that all their
hard earnings were in his hands. The
statement, however, was repeatedly made.
and apparently from reliable sources, that
i'll health and resultant dependency were
the causes that impelled him to suicide.
On this the excitement abated. 1t is as.
serted on good authority that Clarke is
not financially embarrassed; but that, on
the contrary, his business affairs are in a
good and solvent condition. His native
State is New York. He is 50 years Of
age. He has a, wife but no children.
The opinion Of the physicians is that the
wound Is necessarily fatal, and though be
may possibly survive for two or three
days, death is liable to occur at any mo.
ment.

The Greely Party.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-Army Of
ficials who recently read e portion OF
the diary of the Greedy party said to.
day that they revealed q more seri-
Gus condition of affairs than the sur
vivors will admit. It seems that
from the beginning of the expedi-
ton there were disputes among menu
bers of the party. These led to a
division which existed at the time of
the rescue. When found there we're
two parties, one in charge of Ser
geant Long and the other in charge
of Sergeant Brainard and they were
living az separately as tvo tribes.
While Greedy WAS an invalid and
during the last few months of Arctic
life, he was in the party headed by
Brainard who cared for him daily.
The diaries show that stealing
rations was a common practice, One
says Pavey stole them whenever an
opportunity offered and that he
sometimes took such as were appor-
toned to the indisposed members of
the party. At another time when
the men were sent to shoot birds and
were successful, the diaries say not
all the birds killed were taken to
camp but some were concealed in the
snow for the future use of the hunt
ers. No mention is made of can
niba lem in the portion of the diaries
that have been read and officers who
have e them refuse to say whether
or not any other member OF the
D8rtV than Privaf. Honrv was ahot
Army officials say the contents OF the
diaries will not he made known IN
til an investigation Is ordered.

TO WORKINGMEN.

Workingmen who propose SUP
porting the Republican party, should
note the manner in which MI. Blaine
treats his employees in the West Vir'
ginia coal mines. BY promptly dis
charging every man who asked TO,
the same pay other miners were re.
celving, he compelled his workmen
to work for lower wages than were
paid elsewhere, and when they had
been brought into proper submission
he made q further reduction to 40
cents per ton, when others were pay
ing IS cents. No one can wonder that
the patience of these men became
exhausted when q new vein was
opened in Fairfax Stone, for which
the same pricewas paid, and that they
refused to work at literally starva-
ton wages. The simple story of the
way Mr.. Blaine treats his own en-
ployees will outweigh with working
men the most eloquent promises that
can be made by Republican CAM
paien orators. Men of sense judge
party leaders by what they do, not
By what they promise.

The warfare has begun in China
and the Mongolians will now have
an opportunity to put their knowl
edge of ingenious explosives to q
pactical use, by manufacturing dead
ly missiles that will paralyze the in
vading Gauls. It is safe to predict
that more attention on the
part of the European monarchs
will be directed to France in
the present crisis than has been
exhibited during the petty brawls
that have distinguished the French
campaign in Tonquin and Madagas-
car. China does not expect to carry
on the combat alone, hut cherishes
the hope that the excitement will be
communicated to what at present are
passive onlookers, but who may at
any moment join in the strife on
their own account, especially if their
commercial interests are likely to be
endangered byFrance's precipitation.

Nearly all the candidates for the
Presidency and Vice-Presidency are
musicians to a greater or less extent.
Blaine toots the cornet and Logan
sounds the slogan; Cleveland learned
to whistle before he went into the
woods, while Hendricks has long
been an accomplished player on the
accordion. 1t IL not definitely known
what is the favorite instrument of
the gallaut but giddy Butler, though
it is suspected that he takes great de-
light in blowing his own horn.
There is no reason why this cam
paign should not be . musical one.
If each candidate furnishes the mel
ody for his constituents the over
worked brass bands can take . much
needed rest.

the single exception of one member

not, during the past twenty years,
turned out and punished any one of

eminent. Those who did not "re-
tire" on magnificent fortunes "stood

The great labor riot in Ohio will
lead the thinking to the conclusion
that there is still much to do In the
matter of tho adjustment Of wages.
It is certainly not . flattering COM
mentary upon the tariff system of the
Republican party that capital cannot
afford to pay laboring men living
wages. Republican orators through
out the country and in Ohio espec-
tally, will have some difficult ex-
plantations to make to voters. They
will naturally inquire why under the
boasted system of protection work.
ingmen are not placed in more favor
able circumstances. The nut is for
Republican statesmen to crack.

wOLsELEY'S EXPEDITION,

General Gordon is in q most peril
GUS position and an expedition for
his relief is now on the way. Some
OF the boats have already passed the
first cataract on the Nile. This river
will continue to rise until the latter
part of the month and its floods will
carry the germs of disease over a
wide area. so that q land expedition
for the relief of Gordon would suffer
severely. Says an exchange: 1t is
probably on this account that STAN
ley opposes the removal of the base
of operations from Cairo to suakim.
English soldiers can resist disease
and the attacks of the Soudanese
much better on water than on land,
and the authorities of the war Office
are firm in their purpose to have the
expedition follow the Nile. 1t Is de-
cided that q supply of row-boats
bel in readiness at Wady Halfa,
