bore curious resemblance to that de-
scribed in the romances of Gaboriau, who
is admittedly the grand master of weird
and ingenious plots and fascinating de-
tective tales. As the clews were I tched
together it seemed very simple under
taking to bring the crime home to
Frenchy, but, all things considered it re-
quired a large amount Of skill to effect
that result. The master eye that found
bloodstains on the mans clothes, the alert
brain that conceived the plan of utilizing
the scrapings of finger nails as an aid to
the unearthing Of crime, did not depend
upon the element of luck. Every move
ment was carefully planned in the light Of
past experience. guided by judgment rem
dered keen by minute study of the meth
DDS of rascals of ell kinds. Inspector
Byrnes has the history of every great crime
at his tongues end; he has pondered over
the devious ways of the lawless classes
until he is familiar with the inner work
ings of their minds, and he can often pre-
dict the manner in which the most clever
will seek to evade pursuit and punishment.
All men who aspire to become great de-
tectives have to undergo a species of hard
training Of which the public knows little
or nothing There is none of the glamor
OF romance about the actual work. The
detective is rarely hero; his occupation in
a measure units him for the display of fine
moral faculties, and those are the faculties
which he rarely has to employ. Criminals
are as often caught by trickery as by as
tuteness, and the public, which is deeply
interested in the results. never questions
the methods employed so long as they are
successful The detective cannot afford 10
be too scrupulous; as the enemy of the
classes which prey upon society he must
fight them with any weapon at hand. Pa
thence, perseverance and pluck are the quail
tiles that win in this profession, as in

From the reports made by the various

of the festival addresses would be deliv-

UNDER TIE BLUFFS.
An Unknown Suicide Near the
Cliff House.

The ocean beach in the vicinity of the
Cliff House is becoming quite fayorte re-
sort for suicides. Another was added to
the Morgue records yesterday. About u 80
O'clock o. Larsen, one OF the men employed
at Sutros aquarium, was passing along the
bluff, near Parallel Point, and about 200
yards from the Cliff House. He noticed a
man who appeared to lie sleeping on the
hillside. Ging closer, Larsen was startled
by the discovery that the man was dead.
His back rested against the bluffs. By
his side lay q 32-calIber revolver, and a
bullet-hOle in the right temple told the rest.
Information was teephoued from the Cliff
House to the Coroner, and within two
hours the body Of the suicide lay on sla b
at the MOTgue. The remains we're laid out,
and over them hung the sign unldenti-
fed" There were no letters or anything in
the pockets of the clothing by which the
man could be identified. He had the ap-
pearance of a German, aged about 50 years,
with sandy hair and mustache. He was at
tired IN a now suit OF black material and
wore striped sateen shirt.
In the c0at-pochet was a small men,
orandum- book with some shorthand notes
and these written entries: Arbeter Zei-
tung," " this is shorthand" "2633 Mission
street." and 1912 jackson street" The
other property found in the pockets of the
clothing consisted Of a room key numbered
80 some smaller keys, SIS so in money aud
a boX-key No one heard a shot in the
vicinity OF the Cliff, but the man had not
been dead very long when found, for his re-
mains were still limp.

MEMPHIS (Tenn.) Sept. pa special
from Mariana, Ark, says: Bands of Iiotous
negroes have almost taken possession Of
Lee County, Ark. The killing of Tom Mil
Ter. white man aud agent tor j. F. Frank,
By the rioters here. has precipitated a seri-
GUS state of affairs. Indications for some
time, indeed since the reduction of the price
of picking cotton has been inaugurated,
have been that there would be trouble be-
tween blacks and whites. Cotton picking
has been suspended in Lee County for sew
eral days. Saturday an armed gang of
about 100 mounted men took up position
along the roadside leading to Franks plan
tation. The agent of Frank, Tom Miller,
met the infuriated negroes and tried to dis
suade them fIom their riotous intentions,
but they shot him down without moments
warning. They proceeded on their way,
cursing and abusing every white person
they met and threatening all property with
destruction. When they reached the plan
tatiOn known as the Park Place." the gin
houses of Bond & Terrell were set on fire
and burned to the ground, and afterward
several others in the neIghborhood met
similar fate. The demonstration or the part
OF the blacks has aroused the entire coun-
try, and the Sheriff with posse of fifty men
are in pursuit of them. 1t seems the rioting
negroes were baited with barbecue in the
cane brake near Hodges place, and whites
surrounded them in the cane last night. No
casualties are reported. except that two of
the negroes who effected their escape
through the cane and attempted 10 cross the
river were shot and wounded

GETTING SERIOUS.
Rumors Of Complications Between Chile
and the United States.

WASHINGTON, Sert. 28.-For two hours
this morning the President was in consulta-
tion with representatives, Of the State and
Navy departments. While no official in
formation upon the subject can be obtained,
there is reason to believe the Administra-
tion Is confronted with serious aspect OF
affairs in Chile. Since last Friday cable
grams In cipher have been passing between
Washington and Valparaiso, but the officials
refused to make their contents publS- 1t is
gathered, however, that they relate ~ affairs
in Chile. and that serious complications
have arisen between the JGnta and the
United States representatives in that coun-
try.
At present the United States naval force
in Chile consists of one vessel, the Bati-
more. The San Francisco touched at CAL
lao. Peru, last week, on her way northward.
An effort was made by the Navy Depart
ment to communicate with her, but she
sailed for Acapulco, Mexico, Friday, before
the cablegram reached her. There is no
other modern vessel on the Pacific side that
could be dispatched TO Chile.
1t is assumed that Commodore Ram sey,
Chief of the Navigation Bureau, who was
called into consultation with the Cabinet
officials, was asked to explain the exact ex-
tent of the resources OF the Navy Depart
ment.
Senior Montt, the Chilean Congressional
Envoy mere, mas received uISpaUcN from
Senior Malta, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
stating that the peace was not disturbed by
revolt Of the military.
Secretary Tracy, while declining TO make
any statement relative to the conference at
the White House this morning, said he did
not intend to send any more ships to Chile,
and that he did not regard the situation
there as threatening.
1t is conjectured here that the matters
under consideration at the conference were
statements from Minister Egan and Captain
Schey Of recent occurrences in Chile, which
are also conjectured TO accord with special
dispatches from Valparaiso printed in the
New York Herald this morning. Just what
Captain Schley had to communicate TO the
Navy Department cannot be learned, but it
is surmised that it related to the tire ltment
OF refugees, or that the bitter anti-American
sentiment in Chile, resulting from the seiz-
ure OF the Itata, has revealed itself in hos
tile, unfrendly demonstrations toward the
officers and men of the Baltimore. How
ever this may be. il is certain that the
officials of the State and Navy departments
are not at all alarmed at the situation, and
if the conference was called to devise a
means Of meeting any emergency it is ap-
parent the persons who participated are
satisfied that this has been done.
