A Young Man Suicides by Jumping
From the Oakland Ferry.
SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-Great con-
sternation was created on board the ferry
boat Oakland, which arrived on this side
at S:45 this morning, by young man who
was standing on the rear deck suddenly
starting on run and jumping over the
boats stern into the water A great
shout of ''Man overheard" wentup. The
ferry-boat was stopped, and small boat
lowered, in charge of First Officer Nc
Lean. AS the little craft was leaving the
side of the larger one, an Italian jumped
into it from the deck and landed on Me-
Leans shoulders. At this the confusion
among the passengers became greater.
Whats the matter with you? What are
you doing here" demanded Mel can.
angrily, of the unwelcome addition to his
boats crew. The Italian, whose name
was not learned, replied, in broken Eng
lish, that he thought the ferry-boat was
going TO the bottom and he wanted to
save his life.
The young man who first jumped over
began to swim away from the boat as
he rose to the surface. He was too far
away for the boat to reach him before he
became exhausted and sank. All that
was recovered was his hat, a stiff derby,
with the inscription 'Best London makes
inside. Nobody on board seemed to
know him, and his name has not yet been

come from one of the Halcyon's dis
charged crew, and touches on the cruise
of the schooner Fearnaught, which sailed
from San Diego four or five weeks ago,
ostensibly to intercept and seize the

The discharged sailors story is that the
Fearnaught did meet the Halcyon, but
instead of seizing her the crew of the
privateer took 800 ginger jars presumably
contained opium. The transfer was
made off the California coast, according to
the story, but the Fearnaught never re-

Proposition to Extend Them at a Re-
duced Rate of Interest.
WASHINGTON, June S.-Several 6fers
for the extension of four-and -a-half-per-
cent. bonds were received at the Treasury
Department this morning They were
all from Western banks. Secretary Fos-
ter called on the President this morning
and informed him of the result of his re-
cent conference with the bankers and
brokers of New York and of their prof
tered willingness to take up the entire
43-per-cent. loan if extended at 2 per
cent.
No conclusion was reached at the con-
ference, and the question will be consid-
cred at Cabinet meeting tomorrow.
There is much conflict of opinion as to
the future action of the Treasury Depart
ment with respect to the loan, but it is
generally understood that Secretary
Foster favors its extension at 2 per cent.
He admitted as much this afternoon.
lie said such course would raise the
credit OF the Government, and at the
same time enable the national banks to
increase their circulation, a thing greatly
needed after the recent heavy shipments
OF gold. He said also, however, that
there were so many strong arguments in
favor of the extension at lower rate of
interest that he really did not know but
lItL IL might nidlIy De COnc1uQeQ TO INK
the rate at one per cent.
The Western banks, which are said to
favor one per cent. rate, hold more than
half Of the entire amount owned by the
national banks, but the Eastern bankers
will purchase the entire outstanding loan
of So, 900, 900 at two per cent, while the
Western bankers have spoken only with
respect to the bonds now held by them.

THE WHISKY CONSPIRACY CASE.
United States Courts Have No ,Juris-
diction in the Matter.


CHICAGO, June S.-Judge Blodgett this
morning quashed the United States in
dictment against George j. Gibson, Sec
retary of Whisky Trust, and charged
with conspiracy to destroy the Shuefeldt
Distillery. The decision was on the
ground that the case is one for the State
Courts, and not for the United States
Courts, in which there was no statute
providing a penalty for the crime for
which Gibson was indicted.
The Federal Indictment against Gibson
charged him with conspiracy TO bribe
Gauger Dewar TO set fire to Shufeldt's
distillery. Judge Blodgett said the
statutes make it crime for anyone to
offer bribe to States officer to do any
act in violation of his lawful duties. To
bribe or induce such officer to do an act
not contained within line of his official
duties infringes upon no statute of the
United States. The distiIleries are not
under the protection of the United States.
and the offense charged is not within
Federal cognizance.

we are inclined to the belief that it was

Judge HuGHEs's letter in yesterdays Dis
PATCH is none the less worthy of perusal.
1t is, we think, the ablest of the letters

yer question exhaustively, and possibly
may legislate thereon. But We do not an

TO some sort Of scheme for increasing
the circulating medium, and the red-hot

selves heard in that body.

to do so. We simply say to you that il

The Great Northwest.

Minneapolis is to be the seat OF the next
Republican National Convention. Mime
sofa stands between the West and the
Northwest, or, rather, between what used to
be the Northwest and what we are all now
disposed to regard as the real Northwest.
II has not been many years since Hole-in-
the-Day was an important character in
Minnesota. The selection OF Minneapolis
had in il somewhat Of sentiment. 1t also
reminds the world of the fact that the
Northwest and West have manifested an
inclination to lean over to the Democratic
side in national politics. II is, too. pro-
phesy that the next Republican National
Convention will be held In Rocky-Moun-
tain State or Pacific State.
How it does enlighten Bostonlan. a
New Yorker, or O Philadelphia to spend q
week in Chicago, st. Louis. or Minneapolis,
or even in Cincinnati. II does resident in
any oae of those eastern cities power OF
goodD to spend o few days among men
who refuse TO talk about those places, and
feel supreme contempt fer the men of
narrow horizons who dwell on the shores
of the Atlantic or IN some other locality
where the people whose home is in the
setting sun are treated as strangers.
We are glad that Minneapolis has been
thus honored by the Republicans. That
city, with the aid of st. Paul, practically a
part of it, will have no difficulty in &C
commodating the convention.
