made the miners heads swim, though
they accepted the proposition with Il
smile. This action means practically
that the interstate agreement has been

harmonious relations that have existed
between the tive classes for the past five
years are broken off and may not he re

mine workers Of the two regions will stop
work ON the lst Of May affecting 10000

CRoNsTADT, July 2S.-At the din

day at Cronstadt the exchange was
marked by a lesser degree of official
character than any of the previous
festivities.
There were about 500 sailors present
and all toasts of significant nature
were drunk amidst the greatest en-

the French fleet appeared upon the
balcony of the exchange where the
enormous crowds of people greeted
them with frantic cheers and fought
and struggled to get piece of the tri-

detached from the decorations of the
exchange and threw among the pop

the exchange responded to the cries
with "Vive la France,n and in every
way the utmost enthusiasm prevailed.
The crowds also several times insisted
on hearing the "Marsellaise."

WITH HER OWN HAND.
BEAUTIFUL GALVESTON
BELLE TAKES HER LIFE.
Laughing and Chatting With Friends in Her
Room She Suddenly Sends Bullet
Crashing Through Her Young
Heart and Falls Dead

GALVESTON, Texas, Jaly 2S.-A de-
plorable suicide occurred at 11:3O to-
day at the residence of Mrs. Maude
Smith, corner of Avenue o 1-2 and
Twenty-first street. The suicide was
the beautiful 17-year-old daughter OF
Mrs. Smith. No cause for the suici-
dial action of'the young lady has been
ascertained. The following facts rela-
ting to the unfortunate affair were
derived from the various members of
the afflicted family:
The unfortunate girl arose late this
morning, but to all outward appear
ances was bright and happy, and no
act or word aroused any suspicion in
those about her that she contem-
plated anything rash or unusual. At
1890 she was in her bed chamber
with her aunt and was engaged in
making her toilet, all the time gayly
chatting with her aunt, who had her
back turned to her niece. All at
once the girl ceased her chatter, and
the next instant her aunt was startled
by the report of a pistol and turning
quickly saw her niece standing before
the mirror with the smoking pistol in
her hand and blood spouting from her
left breast. The aunt stood as one
transfixed with horror. Maude, a
sister dawn stairs, heard the shot and
went bounding up the stairs, OPP
pressed with a nameless fear.
AS she entered the room the dying
girl, with smile on her face, staggered
toward her, threw her arms around
her Mortified sister and died. The
ball, which was from 32-calibre pistol,
penetrated the breast just below the
heart and ranged downward. The
family is Frustrated with grief, and
nothing can be learned from any
member of it beyond these meager
particulars, but every character of
rumor as to the shooting is afloat, but
to give them currency might be an in
justice to the dead girl and cause un-
necessary anguish to the family.
She was q native Of Algiers, La,
and her father, Captain Alonzo Smith,
has been for many years connected
with the Morgan Steamship line. Miss
Smith was considered rather eccentric
for girl of her age, and was inclined
to fits of melancholy, and always
slept with the little pistol with which
the ended her life, under her pillow.
Corner Spann began an investiga-
tion of the case but after the eXamina-
tion of one witness adjourned further
proceedings until tomorrow. The
witness examined was Miss Lottie
Shae, The-.girl testified that she en-
tered Miss Maude's room shortly after
II o'clock for the purpose of dressing
herself, that Maude at that time was
in the act of doing the same thing and
appeared in her usual mood. She
never heard any intimation then or
before that she contemplated suicide;
That few moments after she entered
the room she saw her with the pistol
in her hand pointed at her breast,
saw the flash, heard the report and
saw her fall and that she died in fif-
teen minutes,
