New YORK, Jan. 4.-Jay Gould and
family are thoroughly alarmed over let
tiers addressed to Mr.. Gould by q man
signing himself ga. B. 50, who de-
mands several thousand dollars on q
threat to dynamite the millionaire if
the request is not needed. Scores Of
letters of this kind are addressed to Mr..
Gould, but this IS the only one that has
been permitted to reach him recently
The reason that this letter causes par
ticular alarm lies in the fact that the
writer claims to be closely watching Mr.
Gould's movements, and statements
contained III the letter show that his as
sertions are true, and from what he
writes it is known that he has a record
of every movement made by the Goulds
for two weeks. GA. B. 35'' says he car
ries dynamite cartridge in his hat and
will drop it under the Gould carriage if
money is not sent to him at once.

New YORK, Jan. 4.-Advices from Sa-
moa to-day are to the effect that blood
will soon flow as a result of fighting be-
tween the natives, which is almost on
the point of breaking out. King
Malietoa has been very patient
with the rebels, but his paSence is
almost exhausted. If news comes to
the King that Won Pilsach's acts as
president of the council are approved
by the three powers, and that the Ger
man is to resume his official duties,
then war will begin at once, for the ma
tives are determined to submit to his
outrageous conduct no longer.

TRIED TO END HIS LIFE.
De Maupassant, the French Author
Makes Two Attempts at Suicide.

De Maupassant, the French Author,
Makes Two Attempts at Suicide.
PARIS, Jan IN. Henri Rene Albert
Guy de Maupassant, the well-known
French author, who is resting at Cannes,
to recover from the nervous disorders
from which he is suffering, and which
are due to over-work, attempted to
commit suicide last Friday night He
got possession of a revolver and fired
six shots at his head. The members of
his family had suspicion that he in
tended to kill himself and had re-
moved the bullets from the cartridges
with which the revolver was loaded.
After NJ. de Maupassant found that he
could not destroy himself with the re-
volver, he took razor and cut a cash
in his throas, but this attempt
also failed, and the injury he
inflicted upon himself was not
serious. 1t was announced at the be-
ginning of December last that NJ. de
Maupassant was suffering from disease
Of the nervous system, and that he had
been ordered by his physicians to take
complete rest. Rumors were circu-
lated that he had become insane, but
these reports were strenuously denied,
it being added that they were due to
the jealousy of unsuccessful rivals in
the field OF literature. NJ. de Maupas-
SAINT, it was admitted, was somewhat
broken down and was suffering from
nervous exhaustion, but his friends
claimed that there was no reason to be-
lieve that his brain power was in any
way impaired.

REPUBLICANS RESPONSIBLE
Expenditures of the Government
Fixed by the Party in Power.

WAslIlNGroN, May 1f,-Scnator Cor
man, speaking to the river and harbor
bill Yesterday afternoon in the senate,
said there was no power on earth that
could enable the democratic party to re-
duce the one hundred and fifty millions
of pensions year, or to reduce the fixed
expenses OF the government, or the inter
est on the public debt; or to reduce
taxation. Ii had no power so long
as the government was divided between
the two parties. The country ought to
know that. But the great issues be-
tween the two political parties were
fixed in the minds of the people They
had been made in the national demo
cratic platform i'll 1883, and i'll the plat
form of every democratic convention
held since 1888. And they would
stand there until victory was won
on one side or the other Or
one side was the party that had beer
in power, with every branch OF the gov
ernment at its control, and that hac
fixed the expenditures at too high a rate
as democrats thought. But those ex
penditurcs had been fixed and could no
be repealed or modified until the dem
; ocratic party got control OF ever
, branch OF tie government. The den
ocratic party was not to be held respor
: siblc for what went on until then.
