more, one of the best known women in Rock
land county, committed suicide yesterday.

near the Hook mountain, whore, so far as Il
known, she lived happily. A few days agi
she was taken i'll, and Inflammation Of tho
lungs set in. She was found dead IN bed
and as blood was seen on her clothing thu
natural presumption was that she had died Of
hemorrhage Her body was not then dis
turbed, but physician, an undertaken and
Coroner Ackerson, from Roekland Lake

Later IN the day an examination was made
One Of the woman's hands grasped a revolver
pressed against the body, with the muzzl
pointing outward Her head was moved
when II was found TINT her throat was cut.
Besides this ugly wound a bullet hole was
seen IN her head. After an examination il
was decided that the woman had cut her
throat and then, to make sure Of her wol k
had fired a shot upward through the wound
into her head. This is the natural supposi.
ton from the facts that are now known. The
coroner has taken charge OF the body, but the
inquest has been deferred.

and universally respected. She possessed a
remarkable degree Of intelligence, and until
recently did cons derable literary work,

New YoRK, Nov. 3-Judge Barrett de
cides that the law requiring the polls to close
at p. m. Is mandatory This is shown by
several things in the context For example,
the law provides that Immediately after

quire three distinct directions Of the law to
be violated. The closing Of the polls means
the closing Of the vote 1t cannot mean the
closing of the premises where the boxes are,
for the law expressly says that the premises
must not be closed until the canvass is
finished. This is a provision for allowing
citizens to watch the count
The constitution confers the right of suf-
frege but leaves 10 the legislature the pro-
viding OF means TO exercise that right If
the legislature makes inadequate provision
there is no more remedy in this matter than
IN regard to other bad or defective laws
The remedy is by legislative amendment.
The courts can declare law unoonstitu-
tional and void, but cannot alter constitu-
tlonal law because it is defective II the in
spectcrs receive votes after p. m. they not
only violate the law, but the validity of the

important that no citizen be deprived of his

Los ANGELES, Cal, Nov 3-The Times of
this city, the paper that first printed the
Lord Saclville letter 10 the Pomona En-
quirer, publishes what the editor claims are
the real facts connected with the Murchison-
West correspondent The Times saws; ..In-
formation has been gathered directly from
the few persons who are on the inside and
possessed of all the facts in the case. The
idea Of writing the letter to Minister West
originated with Murchison himself in the
latter part of August or early in September.
He is a reputable citizen Of Pomona, iii this
county, and is of English parentage.
The conception of the letter was his
thought. He consulted confidential friend
in its preparation. Murchison said at the
outset, and before sending tho letter, th,g the
object was not to prepetrnte a joke or crafty
curiosity, but to get Minister Vests opinion
on the topics embraced in the letter. Muir
chison's letter was dated Sept and Vests
answer Sept. 13 The minister's letter was
received at Pomona Sept 90 and kept by the
receiver until Oct. 10, full month, when it
was brought to Los Angeles by w. A. Bell
the city attorney Of Pomona, and laid before
W. p. Fitzgerald, member Of the state Re
publican committee Henry q. Gage, delegate
at large at the Chicago convention; Harrison
Gray Otis, the editor Of The Los Angeles
Times, and one other local candidate. They
saw the Importance of the West letter In a
political point Of view, and it was unani-
mously determined by the persons present to
make the letter public without delay. which
was done, the date Of the first publication

lowing the publication Of the Murchison let

are false, as he has not seen reporter since
the first days events growing out of his let
ter, and then he simply said that in view Of
the breach Of confidence the writing Of the
letter was a mistake
The curtains at all the windowsof the man
sion occupied by the legation have been
drawn. The minister himself has remained
indoors and viii not appear in public. He
viii leave here when his preparations are
completed-possibly about the latter part Of
the present month. After completing the
necessary forms incident TO assuming his title

10 is intimated in diplomatic circles that
the action taken in his case by the American
government would have been regarded as a
casus helli among European nations, but was
not so regarded toward the United States on
account Of American methods
There is much speculation as to the successor
TO the mission. Second Secretary Herbert
has been formally designated to take charge
OF the legation until the return Of Mr.. Ed
wardes, who is now in London on leave.
The report Of Mr. Phelps to Mr.. Bayard
upon his recent conferences with Lord Sails
bury on Lord Sackyille's case is still with
held. II. is understood to be quite volumin-
GUS. The ground upon which he placed Lord
Salisbury's declination to take any serious
notice Of the affair is that the letter was
private and confidential, and therefore not a
subject Of serious diplomatic conference.
LONDON, Nov. 3.--In diplomatic circles
here the suggestion that Lord Dufferin shall
succeed Lord Sackville as minister to Wash
ington is regarded as absurd Lord Duferin
is an ambassador, draws the salary Of the
first rank in the diplomatic service and is
eligible TO the highest pension. If he were
appointed minister to Washington he would
occupy a second class position, with dinin-
ished pay.
To the general public In England Lord
Sachville is almost unknown, and this il
taken TO account for the absence Of public
excitement over his dismissal The newspa-
pers keep up running fire Of comments on
