Trouble Between the Sailors Union nd
Others.
Port Townsend, Wash, March 25.---
Captain Davis Of the ship Empire
bound to France from Port Blakeley.
stated tonight in reference to Miss
Martha Conradt's flight from San
Francisco to avoid Henry Wendell her
aged fiance, that the girl was on Puget
Sound. He declined TO make known her
whereabouts but stated that she would
remain in the United States. He said
that the girl did not come north on his
vessel and the only knoledge he has is
that she called on his family at Port
Blakeley.
Captain Davis was served with a
writ of habeas corpus commanding him
to produce several seaman now on
board his vessel in the superior court.
Next Monday a writ will be issued on
affidavits of Union sailors who allege
that the men were illegally shipped
and deprived OF their liberty. The Un-
ioa's attorney wired the department at
washington, D. c. tonight that the
same seamen were engaged in Victoria,
B. c, by the ships agent in violation
of the law regarding the Importation
of alien labor under the contract sys-
TEN. This action on the part OF the Un-
ion appears to be the final struggle be-
tween the warning factions.

PROMOTION OF DIPLOMATS.

Washington, March 25.-J. Potenotre,
the French minister to Washington,
has notified Sectetary Gresham that his
government has raised his mission to
the rank of an embassy. AS a result
of this action on the part of the French
government 1t is learned that the rank
Of Eustis, the newly appointed minis
ter to France, will be raised to that of
ambassador. One result of the ad-
vancement of Sir Julian Pauncefote
tnd Patenotre to the rank OF ambassa-
dor will be the reorganization of the
diplomatic corps In Washington, and
Sir Julian becomes a Dean by virtue of
his rank, followed next in rank by Pa
tenotre.
The seven European powers which
maintain ambassadors at each others
capitals, will, 1t is said. be soon repre-
sented at Washington by diplomatic
agents of that rank. Senators are
united in the belief that II President
Cleveland sees fit to promote United
States minister to the rank of ambas-
sador, such promotion will amount to
a new appointment and must be sub
jected to the approval OF the senate.
A rumor with many elements of prob
ability is current in the corridors of
the state department today that W. C.
Whitney, of New York, will succeed
Robert T. Lincoln at Court st. James.
The only doubt in the matter is in re-
gard to Whitney's wishes.

Nashville Tenn, March 25.The Com
mercial National Bnk of this city sus-
pended this afternoon after banking
hours. The cause Of suspension was the
failure two days ago of Dobbins, DOGGY

the Commercial National Bank. The
Cmmoercrial National has capital
stock Of 100000 and surplus fund and

lieved that all the depositors will be
paid in full and that the stockholders
when the affairs of the bank ars wound
up will lose little If anything. The bank
owes depositors $5OO.OOO. Mr.. Spur the
president of the bank, says the failure
of Dobbins & Dazey invilved the bank
in a heavy loss the exact amount of

Portland, March 25-Conrad J. Smith
.bookkeeper for Levy, Spiegel & Co., was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded
about 7:SO tonight, at the corner Of
Third and Alder streets by c. A. Cove

his own brains out. The men were
standing on the corner indulging in
heated controversy, when suddenly
Cove drew a 3S-calibre revolver from
his pocket and began firing. When
Smith saw Cove reach for his weapon
he started to run Gove's aim, however,
was accurate and he hit Smith in the
back, the ball lodging in his abdomen.
After firing two shots at Smith he
turned the weapon to his own head and
fired. He fell and died in a short time.
The street was crowded at the time and
the shooting drew an immense crowd
to the scene.
Smith was taken to the hospital and

Mrs. Cove is well known teacher in
public schools Of this city and about
ten years ago she was elected county
school superintendent. The supreme
court held that she was not eligible and
her husband was appointed to the posi-
