TACOMA, Nov. 25.-[Spsoial, Robert J.
Walker, who came here month ago from
Helena. to-day jumped from the third
story window Of the Fannie Paddock hos
pital to the ground, forty feet below. His
neck and back were seriously injured by
tho fall, and, despite all possible aid which
was rendered, he died at four O'Clock In

the expectation of securing employment in
the engineering department of the North

quartered at the Tacoma hotel. II 10 un-

the remains, which will be sent to Helena.
He went to the hospital yesterday explain
ing to the doctor that he was not we'll and
that he could get such attention as he
needed at that place better than in hotel.
Fairly last evening he showed signs Of suf-
fering great pain. An injection Of NOR
phine quieted him for the night. At 11:45
to day he was apparently asleep, and the
nurse went out for q short time. When he
returned q moment later Mr.. Walker was
not to be found. An open window revealed
his method of exit. search revealed his
body on the ground beneath it. He was
carried inside and given every care until
death ended his sufferings.

Being Enacted Against the Commerce Of
England by Rivals.
BIkMiNaHAM, Nov. 25.--The unionists gave
luncheon in honor Of Lord Salisbury to-
day. In a speech referring to the tariff
question, he said that on all sides there ap-
peared constantly increasing protective du-
ties, calculated to stife British trade. The
protection heresy. on which tariffs were
founded, grew like other evil passions, upon
what it fed. Watching English statistics
he could not but feel anxiety lest the efforts
Of foreign protectionists should be partially
successful. The error Of foreign statesmen
might be translated to Great Britain. I'm
dpubtedly British trade is being hindered
for the moment by foreign legislation.
Continuing he said the government will
seize with avidity any measure .pt omisinR
le0itimately to increase employment for
laborers, either in town or rural districts.
One OF. the most acute of the governments
anxieties was the fact that people in their
Ignorance tried remedies. which, il oh.
tanned. would plunge them into far greater
misery. The government had narrow
path to tread. II must avoid dangerous
apathy in attempting to euro suffering by
simply ignoring causes. On the other band,
it must shnn the far more dangerous course
of wandering into economic errors that
might plunge the whole country into ire
parable disaster. He concluded by con-
pratulating the liberal unionists on their
steady adhesion to their conservative al
lance.
Joseph Chamberlain predicted that Eng
lands foreign relations would be seriously
menaced II Gladstone again came into
power thus giving effect to views against

Not Very Desirable Place In Which to

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Superintenden
Borden, of the refuge station at Point Bar
row, Alaska, in report dated August 8,
says he has heard nothing from any ships
thia year, and as it is getting late and
winter is setting in it is doubtful il any will
arrive. Ice in heavy masses and very COM
pact extends off shore from the bar as far
rs the eye can reach. Forty tons of coal
and stores sufficient are on hand to carry
them comfortably through unless some
disaster befalls the ships another year. The
winter has been mild, with much pleasant
weather. The coldest weather was in Janu-
ary, when the Thermometer stood 49.9
degrees below. The superindent expresses
the opinion that refuge station filed with

year and the assistance rendered the crew.
He also tells of conspiracy formed against
him by gang of seamen, one Of whom.
Larson, made an attempt to kill him with
club. Larson was placed in irons and taken
to place of safety.
Borden says the past year at Cape Symthe
village there were four births and seven
teen deaths, among the latter being the
principal native chief, who died from alco-

man Mills candidacy for the speakership.
sayipg in part thath reconized the strength

asserted" says Mr.. Warner, that Mills is
untitled by temperament to make digni-
fed and effective presiding of1icer.'' War
ner begged Carlisle's opinion on the sub
ject. Senator Carlisle, in reply. refutes the
assertion, and says he is sure if Mills is
elected no one will ever have just cause to
complain of his demeanor or general course
on political questions. Referring to the
unfortunate disposition in some quarters
to subordinate the question Of tariff reform
to others less important to the people,
as dangerous to harmony and success in the
democratic party, the senator says: "Upon
the tariff question we are practically
united, while upon the silver question, and
perhaps upon some others, there are wide
and honest differences of opinion among
the members OF our party, which can only
be reconciled by patient deliberation. Why
shall we, on the eve of great national
contest, when victory is almost within our
grasp. abandon and ignore tho vital issue
upon which we are united and waste
strength IN fruitless controversy over ques-
tions which can better be adjusted after it
has been determined what part of their own
earnings the people shall be permitted to
keep. The first duty Of the democratic
party is to change the laws under which the
OF the people are taken away from
them by unjust taxation for private pur-
poses, and whoever proposes to post
pone the performance of this duty
iii order to inaugurate among ourselves a
war over the silver question, or any other,
is not wise councillor and would not make
a safe leader."

services in the surveyor generals Office OF

Louisville, Ky. The results of all disasters

R1o DE JAN1ERo, Nov. 25.-President
Peixotte has promulgated manifesto,
which was received with general satisfao-
tion. In it be altogether abendons tbs ar
bitrary and distatorial authority assumed
by Da Fonseca and declares the legal order
of affairs re- established. 1t announces the
dissolution Of the congress decreed by Da
Fonseca is annulled and the state of siege
in the federal district is raised.
The manifesto summons congress to re-
assemble on Dec. 13, and resume its func-
tions. This proclamation makes it clear
that the president does not in any way
sympathize with the policy inaugurated by
Dn Fonseoa. and that no proposes to do all
in his power to restore the political situa-
tion to it's normal condition. Premier
Pereira, the minister of justice, will take
charge temporarily of the ministries of pub
lie instruction ana the interior.
Everything indicates a normal condi
tion; that the government is in sympathy
with the dominant political party and that
the mandates of the constitution will re-
sumo their sway. The Exchange Telegraph
company publishes private dispatch from
Para to-day and according to this the abdi-
