An Ambassador Attempts Suicide.
VIENNA-It was announced in this city
yesterday that Sadullah Pasha, the Turkish
Ambassador here, was suffering from the eff
fects of fit. 1t now transpires, however,
that the Ambassador attempted to commit
suicide in his bathroom. 1t is said that he
first tried to strangle himself, and that, fail
ing in this, he attempted to put an end TO
his life by stopping up all the apertures
in the room and allowing the gas
in the burners to escape. He was
discovered before life was extinct and
doctors were hastily summoned. They
worked over him for long time, and at
length succeeded in restoring respiration,
but were unable to bring the patient back
to consciousness. Although every means
known to science is being employed in the
case, it is thought the ambassador will die.
The attempt to end his life is believed to be
due to family troubles, as his wife is suffer-
ing from an Incurable disease and his favor
lite daughter has become insane.
