that he had committed suicide, although
there are no marks OF violence on his
person and nothing could be found to
show that be bad taken poison. He was
employed i'll the Vulcan iron works. and
left Tuesday to go 10 Tacoma to collect
some money. His sister, with whom be
made his home, says he was not melan-
choly. but the letter shows be was OF a
morbid temperament. After saying he
intended ending his life, he wrote:
"This Is not the freak of an idle and
foolish mind, but the result of years of
suffering, pain and misery; the conclu
sion of life that had no pleasure in it,
the result of wild, wlltul and wsyward
disposition, kept in close confinement by
the rules of honor and social laws, But
now I am free from the torturing thought
and contemptous looks that are cast on
me by those who know of my dissipated
and morbid career"
He then goes on with an address to
his soul, which he declares will go to
meet the punishment it richly deserves
and says:
"You, my soul, can go on the course
the great chief has designated aud meet
the tate 1t so richly deserves. I have al
ways been unfortunate and I always was
in the wrong. can never remember a
day that there wasn't some dark cloud
hanging over me ready to burst and pour
forth volume OF disgrace and abuse. I
have committed many crimes against the
laws Of God, man and nature. I have
turned away from them in disgust, only
to return again at the next temptation
and install myself In the opinion of my
friends aud companions as base, heart
less wretch, capable neither of love nor
honesty. And, therefore, I was Stunned
by all. But there was one who did not
desert me, and who understood me as
well as did myself; to whom could go
for advice and comfort; to whom 1 had
confessed all my misdeeds and shortcom-
iDgs. But now he, too, has passed over
the dark moat into the future whence
none comes again. l can only follow IN
bis wake, as there is no hope, no prospect
of anything but misery, SIN and disgrace
for me. SO forward go to meet the judg-
ment that long ago has been confirmed
and earned"
He closes by begging all who bear of
his lot to treat young men with kindness
He had a comfortable home and was his
own master, and his relatives say be had
no known cause for ending hi life.

regarding the Behring sea resumed its
session at II As A. M. today. Hon. E.
]. Phelps, counsel On behalf of the
United States, continued his argument.
He contended that the British supple
mentary report was inadmissable. The
admission of new evidence at this stage,
Phelps said, was gross injustice to the
United States, because it deprived them
of any chance to adduce rebutung testi-
mony Phelps discoursed at some length
on the technical meaning of the treaty of
arbitration and conditions and methods
of procedure to be followed nnder the
treaty. Sir Charles Russell, IN replying

that ha. occurred in Allegheny for years
broke out soon after ago O'Clock this after

Clark Paper Company, on South Canal street
Owing to the high gale which was blowing,
the fire department was unable to prevent the
spread of the flames, which communicated
rapidly to the malthouse of the Eberhart &
Ober Brewing Company. At this juncture
Pittsburg was appealed to for aid and re-
sponded with three companies, but, notwith-
standing this additional force, the fire could
not be stayed. and in a short time the large
grain elevator of the Eberhardt & Ober Com
pany was on fire. The elevator, which was
iron-clad and ISo feet high, burned swiftly
inside and scattered the sparks IN all dlrec-

THE CAUCUS.

Hon. J. IL. Mitchell made the ar
gument before the United States SEN
ate in favor of the adoption of the
minority report of the committee
which was against admitting the sem
ators, appointed by the governors, to
seats. He may have been conscien-
tious in the stand he has taken on this
question, and if so the consciousness
of doing what he believes to be right
may be all the reward he will receive.
One of the reasons stated by him was,
if these senators were admitted, 1t
would impair party discipline and
give license to the minority to OBJ
struct elections This may sound
all right to those who believe in ma
chine politics; but in all representa-
tive bodies, it must be recollected, by
combinations between populous dis
tricts, the rights of the minority may
be completely ignored, and the demo
cratic element in government en-
tirely obliterated. A stubborn mi
nority, it is true, may block legislation
indefinitely; but the rights of the few
representatives from the sparsely set
tied portions of the state should not
be under the heel of the many from
the large cities In the legislature.
The same is true of members of the
lower house of congress from the diff
ferent states, aud Mr.. Mitehell's line
of reasoning would undoubtedly result
in this state of affairs. The power of
the caucus in county conventions,
state legislatures and in congress
should not be absolute, and, while con-
sideration should be paid to its decis-
ions in all matters touching legislation
and elections, yet, when by SO doing
the sovereignty of the people is jeo-
its supremacy should cease.
It has frequently happened in all rep
bodies, that the wishes of
the public have been trampled under
feet, and combinations and cliques
have ruled In despotic manner. The
democracy in our institutions cannot
be too carefully guarded, and one of
the greatest dangers it encounters is in
the sovereign sway Of the caucus.

The story that the correspondent of
a paper started about Ex-Secretary
Foster and Paymaster Halford giving
themselves very liberal allowances for
work performed, appears to have been
child of the imagination, and it Is
difficult to trace it to any responsible
source. Perhaps some Jealous Demo
