man about fifty years old. who. late
Thursday night, came to the MetrOpoi-
tan hotel and registered as B. Smith,
Washington. D. c., was found dead in
his room at the hotel to-day. 1t is sup
posed that he committed suicide, as he
had disposed of everything that would
lead TO his Identification. Not scrap
of paper could be found among his ef-
fects. His pocketbook contained only
a few cents. On his sleeve buttons was
the monogram E. S. His clothing
was well worn, but neat. 1t is
supposed that he came from Chi
cago, as a white straw hat and
a soft black hat had been bought
there. The straw came from Bishop q
Co., 156 State street, and the soft one
bore the stamp of "Hawes, Chicago" :"
In his small black leather satchel two
new index books were found, which had
been bought from Carmen. Amberg &
Co., stationers, of Chicago. Smith was
last seen ON Saturday night, when he
complained of feeling sick. At noon
to-day the chambermaid found him
dead on his bed. The right side of his
face was drawn up as though he had
died in great pain. The body was re-
moved to the mOrgue. lie was five feet
eleven inches in height, of medium
build, with gray eyes, light complexion
and brown hair. In one of the memo
randum books were notes relating to a
patent gas-saving machine, for which
it is believed, he was an agent.

Members of the Order Of Elks
Gathering at Cleveland in
Large Numbers.
The Suspension Of New York
Lodge No. 1 to Be Given
Attention.
Most Of the Members Indorsu
the Action of the Exalted
Ruler.
Forty-Four New Lodges In
stituted the Last Twelve
Months.

CLEVELAND, O., July 6.-The fourth
annual reunion and grand lodge meet
ing of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks, which will begin in this
city tomorrow and continue Tuesday
and Wednesday, promises to be the
most largely attended and interesting
ever held by the organization. This
will be the first time that the grand
lodge has met outside of New York, but
reunions have been held in Cincinnati,
Pittsburg and other cities. A number
OF delegates to the grand lodge
from Boston and other New
England cities arrived to-day.
Many more arrived Oh the night trains,
and they will continue to come in all
day tomorrow. DR.. Samuel Quinlan,
of Chicago, the exalted grand ruler of
the order, and John White, of the same
city, the acting grand secretary, arrived
early this morning. Acting Grand Sec
retary White was seen this afternoon
by reporter. He was surrounded by
mass of papers and correspondence.
and was very busy. but he readily gave
some information about the coming
meeting. ''As far as heard
from, this will be the most
largely attended reunion and grand
lodge meeting ever held by the order.
We now have 1913 subordinate lodges
scattered from Maine to Texas, with an
aggregate membership of $4,000 in
round numbers. The grand lodge is
composed of about 1000 delegates, and
at least $50 of them will be in attend
ance. There is no doubt that about
5000 Elks will be in Cleveland during
this week. The order is growing very
fast, forty-four lodges having been in
stituted during the past twelve months.''
When asked what would be the result
of the injunction sued out by New York
Lodge No. 1 to prevent the meeting
of the grand lodge in Cleveland and the
subsequent suspension of the New York
lodge by Exalted Grand Ruler Quinlan,
MIR. White said: "The grand lodge does
not meet until Tuesday, and we are not
crossing over bridges when there is no
water within a hundred miles. The
only Inconvenience that we will suffer
will be that the property of the grand
lodge may be kept away from us, but
we can get along without it. Almost
the entire membership of the order, of
course with the exception Of New York,
is in sympathy with the ruling Of DR..
Quinlan."

FIVE CHILDREN DIE.
Awful Result of the Powder Ex-
DIOsiOn at Industry.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July Give of the
seven little victims of the powder eX-
plosion at Industry, Pa, last night
have died. Their names are August
Smith, aged fourteen years, his nine
teen-months-old sister Mary, George
and Willie Kohler, aged respectively
eight and SIX years, and John Brennan.
aged ten years. Willie Kohler
lived till this afternoon suf-
fering fearfully until death relieved
him. The other four died before mid
night last night. Emma Smith, aged
nine years. and Charlie Shaw, aged
eight years, the other victims, will re-
cover. The father of young Brennan
is crazed with grief, and last night tried
to kill Smith, the owner of the building
where the powder was stored. This
morning he wandered away from home,
and was found near Elizabeth, Pa,
seven miles from Industry. A close
watch is now being kept over him.
Four of the victims were buried to-
day. Willie Kohler will be buried to-
morrow. The coroner's jury rendered
a verdict in accordance with the facts as
stated in last nights dispatches, and
condemned the practice of merchants
keeping powder and other explosives
where children have access to them.
Mr.. Smith has frequently been warned
about the danger of keeping his powder
under the counter, but failed to heed
the warnings, and to-day many harsh
words were said against him, notwith-
standing the loss of his two children
and his wrecked house.

Tronhies of CONQUEST.

There is young woman IN an East
ern city who has worn about her white
throat during the past season a very
handsome diamond necklace set with
thirteen stones of considerable value.
AS the parents of the young woman
were not persons of wealth, the orna-
ment naturally was the occasion of con-
siderable speculation among her women
friends. Finally, one young woman.
more privileged or more audacious than
the rest, remarked on the beauty of the
necklace and asked how she came to
have it. With charming franknesS she
replied: "Of course it is very valua-
BILE thing, but really its chief value is
in its associations. Each one of these
stones has separate and sweet memory
for me. You see, it's composite, and
it is made out of the diamond engage
ment rings that have worn at different
times. There were thirteen of them,
and naturally couldn't go on wearing
them. and as | didn't return them for
fear of wounding the feelings of the
men, just had them all set together iD
a necklace. And now can wear them
all at once comfortably. and besides you
see how handsome an ornament have"

Several Gifts.

W. M. Gilbert, the millionaire philan-
thropist OF Winsted, gives 100000 to
the Gilbert Home for the Friendless at
Winsted, which was founded by Mr..

in his lifetime. The Gilbert School for
Colored Girls at Winsted, La, receives
$4,000. The sum of S50o.0OO is given

chester is given $4S,O00 for the purpose
of tunneling the mountains In order to
obtain a better water supply from the

above named, the 5000 is to be added
to the fund for the high school. The
Congregational church at Northfield re-
celves $4,000 and the Episcopal church
at that place $4,000. Mr.. Gilbert's stock

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Republican Senators Averse to
Discussing 1t.


WASHINGTON, July 6.-The members
of the senate finance committee show
no great disposition to get together for
the further discussion of the tariff queS-
ton, and from this indication it seems
more than likely that the real battle on
the tariff will not begin for some time
perhaps the end of the week which is
Just opening. The committee has yet
to take under consideration the reci-
procity question. 1t is the desire
of several of the Republican
members of the committee that
this question be acted upon in
committee before 1t is brought before
the senate. Mr.. Hale, who introduced
the amendment embodying Mr.. Blaine's
idea, told reporter some time ago that
he did not expect the finance commit
tee to act upon it, but that it would be
taken up in the senate as an independ-
ent amendment and debated there. 1t
now appears that not only did the
members of the finance committee have
the reciprocity question under discus
sion before Mr.. Blaine's letter was sent
to the senate, but they laid the matter
informally before the president for his
sanction, They then learned that it
was the intention Of the president to
send to congress letter on the subject
written by Mr. Blaine, and, not wishing
to anticipate this actiou, they did moth
ing further in the matter. They can
hardly be said to favor Blaine's
proposition, for the proposition
that was laid before the presi-

dent by them differed materially from
that of the secretary of state. A men,
Der of the finance committee, who has
been quoted as favoring Mr.. Blaine's
reciprocity scheme. said to a reporter
a few days ago: 1--WE cannot agree to
reciprocity on sugar which would
affect only one-sixth of the amount we
consume. That would be simply to in
crease the profits of the producers of
that sugar which is admitted free with
no reduction of cost to the consumer"
The same Republican senator said that
the senate would not accept any reci
procity proposition which involved the
admission of free wool. suggesting that
there was ''too mnch politics in WOOL"
The reciprocity question has taken very
vague form as yet. but it is quite among
the possibilities that in some shape it
will be adopted by the senate. An effort
will be made during the coming week to
bring the Republican members OF the
finance committee together to con-
slider it.

CAPE MAY POINT. July 6.-Mrs. Rar-
rison has been interviewed about the
acceptance of cottage here and the
criticisms growing out of the gift.
After describing the unsuitableness of
the White house for family life in sum-
mer, she said there had been
suggestions made to the president
from various sources about pur-
chasing a summer home in the
suburbs of Washington. which.
at the end of his official term, might be
sold at considerable advance. The pres
ident objected to this on the ground that
that it would be an improper specula-
tion. While they were considering in
vitations from friends who had homes
in healthful localities near the capitol it
happened that Mrs. Harrison was sur
prised by the gift of cottage. She
continued: sits acceptance seemed to
me to be the best thing which could be
done. None of the gentlemen con-
cerned could have any object other than
the courtesy of making US comfortable.

CAN THIS BE TRUE (?
British Police Charged With Tor
-; ture.

LONDON. July 6.-Further advices
from Burmah give painful accounts OF
the cruelties perpetrated by the British
police authorities on the wretched In,
habitants. Although torture is ex-
pressly prohibited by law throughout
the British empire, Burmah appears to
be an exception. it being the custom of
the police in certain districts to extract
confessions from accused persons by
methods amounting to torture. In the XII
anski district of upper Burmah a magis-
trate, at the request of district super
intendent of police, refused to grant
bail to persons accused of bailable of
fense. One of the accused was put in a
solitary cell and handcuffed for three
days and two nights, until he made
confession duplicating himself and an
other. On being released he immedl-
ately withdrew the confession, claiming
that it had been extorted from him by
physical suffering. Itproved that there
was no evidence whatever to sustain
the charges. 1t is proposed to
establish judicial commissioner
for the conquered province in order to
put an end to the outrages perpetrated
by practically irresponsible officials.

New YORK, July 6.-Among the pas

French steamer La Bretagne was Mgr.
Bernard O'Reilly, who left here eight
years ago to champion the Irish ques-
tion in Rome, and who faithfully de-
Tended it at the Vatican. While abroad
Mgr. O'Reilly wrote the life of Pope
Leo XIII. in French and English, and
also the life of the famous Archbishop
of Tuam. The monsignor said that the
English are making every 'endeavor to
influence the Vatican Oh the Irish
question, but that the friends of
LELAND are constantly OIL the lookout
and have thus far, with the aid Of the
pope, managed to hold the upper hand.
The general public, he said, have no
idea of the moves the English are max
ing, as only the big ones come to the
surface. Concerning the controversy
between DR.. Burtsell and Archbishop
Corrigan, concerning DR.. McGlynn, he
said that as he had not been here, and
was not in Rome when it came up, he
could say nothing further than that it
was better understood here than across
