TOLEDO Ohio, March S.-There is con-
| siderable excitement in Toledo tonight
over the mysterious suicide of we'll
dressed stranger, in the best hotel in the
| town.
Friday night young man registered at
the BOody House as Charles }. Edwards,
but gave no place of residence.
Saturday afternoon Rev. Father Quigley,
a prominent Catholic priest, called up the
Boody House and asked if Edwards was
there. Receiving an affirmative reply,
he notified the Chief of Police that he
| feared Edwards would commit suicide.
The Chief promptly Investigated the
matter. The door being opened, he found
the man dead. On stand near by was a
vial of laudanum, vial of aconite and
one of prussic acid. The examination re-
vealed the fact that everything which
might reveal the suicides identity had
been destroyed except much worn gold
ring with the initials, ''M. n. c."
Father Quigley says the man came to
his parsonage Friday evening and told
him that he was going to suicide. Quig-
ley finally obtained a promise from Ed
wards that he would not commit suicide
for twenty-four hours. Quigley says he
believes the man came to murder him,
and whom asked why Edwards should
want to kill him, replied significantly ::
You notice that the Commercial this
morning said the suicide wore Masonic
emblem.'
This recalls highly sensational sermon
preached by Quigley about a year ago,
when he claimed that the Free Masons
had sent a man to kill him.
The suicide has not yet been identified.
On the lapel of his vest was pinned a
small Masonic badge-the square and
compass of the Master Masons. His
laundry mark is &c c t."

Several More Vessels to be Added to

NEW YORK, March S.-The HerdlTs s
Washington correspondent says that he
learns that several vessels will shortly be
added to the Pacific squadron. AT least
two vessels of the Squadron of Evolution
will shortly be detached and sent around
the Horn to join the Pacific. One of these
will be the Atlanta and the other will
probably be the Dolphin, as she is
wanted for making a survey for the pro-
posed submarine cable between San
Francisco and the Hawaiian Islands.
There is also some talk of sending the
Philadelphia to the Pacific. The Mon
terey is practically ready to leave her
ways, but the Messrs. Scott will probably
postpone the time of launching until the
arrival of the Presidential party ON the
Pacific Coast, about April lst.

ISLAND OF CUBA,

A Spanish Journal Objects to It's An
neXation With the United states.
MADRID, March ST. The Herakdo in an
article protesting against the supposed
scheme of the United States Government
to annex the island of Cuba, says that
Blaine ought to recollect that the Congress
of American Nations plainly proved that
the Spanish-Americans are not disposed
to allow themselves to be absorbed by the
great northern Republic. The people of
Cuba, it says, are strongly Spanish and
equally opposed to becoming part of the
United States. Probably, with the ex-
ception of the tradesmen, there is no one
in the islands who is at all desirous OF
annexation.
Spain, the Heraldo continues, would
shed her last drop of blood in resisting
any attempt to deprive her Of her colony,
fearing neither Cuban revolution nor a
war with the United States

lucky.
EThe prevailing epidemic of influenza
has been the cause of using up and inca

from performing their duties. The result
has been that those who have escaped be-

given for the longer hours of labor, there

TEE NEW JUDGESHIPS.
Can They Be Filled Without the
Senate's Approval /?
OPINIONS DIFFER AS TO THE CON.
STRUCTIoN OF THE LAW.
Close Friends of the President Believe
He VIII Defer tho Appointments
Until December, in Order to Avoid
Following What Is Said to Be a
Questionable Precedent.
Special to the RFcoRD-UNIoS.


WASHINGTON, March S.--The appoint
ment of James H. Beatty as United States
District Judge of Idaho was thought to
be an official announcement that Presi-
dent Harrison considers it proper for him
to appoint the nine Circuit Judges under
the new law without waiting for their
confirmation by the Senate.
The case OF the Idaho District Judgeship
and the new Circuit JudgesIips are SINH
lar. The former is new Office, it not
having existed prior to the admission of
Idaho to Statehood.
The President nominated Beatty to the
Senate several weeks ago, but tho idaho
Senators caused delay in acting upon
the nomination that proved fatal Tues
day when the nomination came before the
Senate. and, on motion of Farwell, it
went over one day. The Senate took no
adjournment after that, and the next day
never came, and when Congress expired
on Wednesday Beatty's nomination ex-
pired with il.
| 1t was held by several Senators that the
President could not appoint him to the
new office without action by the Senate,
but he has done so, nevertheless.
| Those of the Presidents advisers who
asking him to appoint new Circuit
Judge, have found a precedent which
| they think answers all purposes.
! AT the close of the Forty-ninth Con-
gress President Cleveland appointed
Judge Lacombe of New York to a Circuit
Judgeship then just created, and after a
! long controversy when the Senate met he
was confirmed. The Committee on
Judiciary, to whom the nomination was
referred, were hopelessly divided as re-
CARDS the legality of the Presidents
action, but majority were OF the opinion
that when Judge Lacombe was nominated
a vacancy in the meaning of the Consti-
tuition did exist.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
ers were appointed and confirmed in a
like manner. They were appointed after
the adjournmenS of the Congress that
created the commission, and were con-
firmed at the regular session of the Senate
in December.
Notwithstanding these precedents, there
are many able lawyers in Washington
who hold that the appointment of men to
newly created offices is in no sense filling
a vacancy, and that President Harrison
will hardly have the temerity to follow
the questionable precedent set by Presi-.
dent Cleveland in the case of the appoint
ment of Judge Lacombe. Moreover,
close friends of the President say that he
is now considering the advisability of not
appointing the nine Judges until next
December, and thus avoid the necessity
of calling special session of the Senate,
or indorsing precedent that has been
quite generally regarded as bad one.

A New Discovery.

The telephone is about to have new
application-that offoretelling storms. A
new discovery has been made as to one of
the properties of this means of transmit-
ting sound. BY placing two iron bars at
seven or eight meters distance from each
other, and then putting them in commu-
nication on one side by copper wire
covered with rubber, and the other side
with a telephone, a storm can be predicted
at least twelve hours ahead through a
dead sound heard in the receiver. Ac-
cording as the storm advances, the sound
resembles the beating of hailstones
against the windows. Every flash of
lightning, and, of course, every clap of
thunder that accompanies the storm pro-
duces shock similar to that of the stroke
of a stone cast between the diaphragm
and the instrument.
