ST. CLAIRsvILLE, OHIO, January 23.-
William Parker, sged 30 years, a membel
of the choir of the Methodist Episcopa
Church, attended meeting of Professor
Schofield's large singing class on last even
ing. After the organization was completed
he mingled freely with the Others, chatted
with bis friends and seemed to be perfectly
happy and contented.
When be arose this morning his wife and
mother noticed that his spirits were much
depressed. He complained of his ill-luck
and declared that there was DO chance of his
obtaining employment. At the breakfast
table also he was very gloomy and ate in
silence. He had an air Of pre-,
occupation and paid but slight attention
to the conversation OF the family. Natu-
rally, they were much distressed about
him. They suggested that he was sick,
and urged him 10 go to bed.
When the meal was finished his spirits
seemed 10 revive, and he began to play
with his three small children, WHO sport
lively ran about from room TO room. Short
ly after eight o'clock his mother, who was
in au adjoining room, happened to glauce
through the open door. She saw him kiss
the baby and then lay it tenderly upon the
bed.
A moment later the report of a pistol shot
rang out, and the wife aud mother with
blanched faces rushed into the room.
Parker's prostrate form was stretched
upon the floor. In his right hand he
clutchsd big revolver, sDd the warm
blood flom an ugly hole forward and
above his ear, showed that he had resolved
TO die. HE death was almost iustantane-
GUS, for the heavy lead ball had cut into
the brain.
The aged mother and yOuDg wife were
completely prostIated by the shock. Parker
was a nan of good habits, kind hearted
and generous. The condition Of his fl
nancss and inability to get work doubtless
unbalanced his mind and prompted the
act.

Consul General S.walrs Story-Ths Germans Have
Closed the Municipal OOurt-Amsrcan
Citizens at the Mercy Of an
Adyeniurer.

WASHINGTON, January 23.-The Sam
oan troubles were subject of discussion at
the meeting Of the Cabinet to-day, and
they have also been general topic Of con-
versation at the Capital. At the State
Department the claim is made that every
thing possible has been done to uphold
American dignity, and it is stated that the
reports OF insults to the American flag
exaggerated.
1--WE can not take notice Of newspaper
reports" said State. Department official
to- day. 1--WE must await official reports.
We have no confirmation of the
statements concerning the insults
to the American flag and personally
DO not believe them. think that this
department appreciates the importance Of
keeping the Samoan Islands ont of Ger
man hands, and do not think that Ger
many is in position TO get into trouble
with us. OF course, we wonld hardly 20
to war about such thing, but we might
enforce our rights in the future when it
would be very inconyenient for Germany
The State Department is in expectation
of official reports by mail at the end Of this
week.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions held meeting to-day, when the
Samoan question wss taken up and dis
cussed at length, with view TO making
an immediate report to the Senate. Prin-
ted copies of the testimony Of Counsel
General Sewall have been placed in the
hands of the members of the full COM
mittee, in preparation for the considera.
tion Of the matter.
Mr.. Sewall described al length the in
dignities 10 which Americans had been
subjected. The Germans, he said, had
closed the municipal court and the jnris-
diction in cases against Germans was with
the German Consul only. The Americans,
be said, had received no notice previous TO
the declaration OF wsF. No American, he
said, could speak to native without plac-
ing that native under suspicion. He read
a private letter from Mr.. Moore, the lead
ing American trader, whose land had been
seized by the German trading firm, who
wrote TO Mr.. Sewall that Brandeis WAS said
to be keeping block book; that he spent
his time devising new modes of punish
ment, and that the island would become a
great slaughter-pen if the Germans ever
came into full control of the island. Mr..

of the pitiabe condition of the American
citizens in Samos, many of whom had

the law to the managers of the various

that their recommendations would be COM
piled with and the illegitimate and un-
lawful practices reeorted to in transacting
theiI passenger business be abandoned.
They have learned, however, that the con-
ditiOn Of affairs has but little improved
since then and that ecalpers still continue
to sell ticket at less rates than they are
sold at regular ticket offices and they have
therefore concluded to make another trip
to this city and adopt measures that will
compel the railroad companies to comply
with the law. They are expected to ar
rive here next Monday, and will at once
proceed with their investigation.
