Epecial to THE MoRSISs CALL

NEVADA. July 19.-William A. Findley.
foreman of the Nevada County Land Asso-
clation's ranch near Glenbrook Park, last
night attempted suicide by shooting himself
in the left breast. above the heart. The bull
let followed the rib around to the back,
where it lies just under the skin. He will
probably recover. Findley was previous to
twelve years ago prominent farmer near
Wheatland. and was engaged in raising
race-horses. After falling for large sum
he came to this city, and has followed
freighting for livelihood. For two or three
years past his intellect has been showing
signs Of weakness as result of brooding
over his reverses. and on several occasions
he has threatened to kill his wife, children
and himself. Last week his family fed to
the woods and spentth day, because of fear
that he would slaughter them. Last even
ing he drove to the ranch of his brOther-in-
law, Peter Arbogast, and after some CONVEX
sation drew his pistol and shot. He then
handed the weapon to Arbogast, saying:
Now take me home so can see my family
before die." Findiey is temperate, hon.
est and Industrious man, and belongs to the
Knights of Pythias and the Ancient Order
of United Workmen. To-day he is conscious
and declares he did not know what he was
doing when he fired.

PARIS. July 19-The press is generally

Several opposition organs predict the
fall of the Cabinet within three months,
saying that Constans and Ferry are plot

reins of government.
Comte 'Haussonvlle. representing Comte
de Paris, speaking at Neulise, attacked Car

the republic. saying that clericals desirous
OF forming Catholic Republican party were
victims of an illusion. The watchword of
the French Republic was now, as always,
War against religion" 1t was not his
place to lay down a line of conduct for tho
clergy, but the policy of Cardinal Lavigerie
was not the best way of defending the in-
terests of the church.
A project has been started, with the ap-
pIOyal Of several of the French Ministers,
to hold Russian exposition on Champ

PITTsBURG, July 19.-In an interview to-
day Senator Quay said, regarding the rumor
that he wanted to retire from the chairman
ship of the Republican National Committee ::
The time is approaching when the work of
the campaign OF 1892 should be commenced.
do not take charge of that work, still |
don't say positively that will resign from
the chairmanship of the committee.
1t was my intention to retire imme-
diately after Harrison's election, but
Circumstances well known to my col
leagues on the committee, prevented. My
desire to get out of e place incumbered
with so many duties has never abated, and
the time now comes when l feel at liberty
to do so. The coming campaign has fore
cast of being an educational one. 1t will
be conducted with vigor by both parties.
The man who manages the prelimary work
as Chairman of the Executive Committee
should be in that position now, and hence
forth largely devote his time to its duties "
Regarding his probable successor in case
he resigns, Senator Quay said that while
to his knowledge no letters have been sent
to the members of the committee asking to
have General Clarkson succeed him, it was
generally conceded that Mr.. Clarkson
would be chosen. He is more fitted for the
position, but Quay did not know what
action the committee would take.
Being asked his opinion of the national
outlook, Senator Quay said: 1T is too far
ahead to say much about it. l have no
doubt if Mr.. Blaine is candidate he will
receive the Republican nomination. Mr..
Cleveland seems to be in the lead on the
Democratic side. Pattison, / am told, is
being favorably discussed by eminent
Democrats outside of Pennsy lvania. He is
popular. has a clean record and would be a
strong candidate"

Young Man, Supposed to Be E. ]. Kane,
Found Murdered.
SACRAMENTO. July 19.-On Saturday a
man discovered the body of man floating
down the river and secured it to the brush
opposite Freeport. Justice Kaup of Wash
ington and the Deputy Coroner went to
where the body was and found it to be that
of an unknown man, apparently 20 years Of
age.
The deceased was person of light COM
piexion and hair, with no beard. The
body was dressed in light tweed suit, the
coat double-breasted square-cut sack {;
white shirt, standing collar; in the shirt
was an imitation diamond. In one of the
pockets of the coat was a receipt
in the name of E. j. Kane for a
registered letter-No. 7551-addressed to
Morris Harvey, Orangeburg, n. Y,
a Postoffice key numbered 631, postal cards,
envelopes and blank sheets of note paper, a
pocket knife, a 32-caliber pistol cartridge
and 81 IS money. After the names on the
receipt were the words 4" Young Mems

was on tile body. That was in the right
temple, showing where the bullet had en-
tered the brain.
1t is evident the body had been in the
Inquest there. the jury finding that the de-

known. The body was buried on the Yolo

FEMALE SLAVES.
The Prices That Are Paid for Young Ana
mese Women.

The Prices That Are Paid for Young Ana
mese Women.
The French authorities in Tonquin have,
1t is claimed, adopted extreme repressive
measures in connection with the clandestine
trade in young Anamese women between
Tonquin ports, Hong-kong, Canton and
Hainan. which has reached serious proper
tions within the past eighteen months.
The Chinese authorities are acting in con-
cert with the French, and are beheading
kidnaperS and slave-traders as soon as they
ara deported from French into Chinese ter
ritory. Large numbers of the young women
who are smuggled over the Tonquin- China
frontiers are, ii is said on good authority, the
property OF pirates who swoop down on vii
lageS in the interior of the country, loot the
houses and carry off large numbers of eligi-
BILE young women, whom they deliberately
sell to Chinese deSperadOeS, to be either
taken overland to the big cities in the Prov
ince of Yunnan, and there sold at from $50
to $50 each-according to the woman's build
and general appearance--or smuggled in
junks and steamers to Pokhoi, Hainan or to
Canton, via Hong Kong.
Until the French succeed in thoroughly
extinguiShing piracy, which is now so RAM
pant on the Red River. there can be but lit
tie hope of a cessation Of one of the worst
phases of the slave trade, which is virtually
being carried on at our very doors, and
seems likely to become as great public
scandal as the inQuitous traffic in human
beings which Stanley's ally, Tippoo lib,
conducted in Africa with so much pecuniary
benefit to himself and abJect misery to his
ill-fated victims.-Houg-Kong special to N
Y. Advertiser.
