THE ASHES OF COLUMBUS

SEATTLE, April 29-Mrs. Jansen, q
widow about 3s years Of age, living
nearly opposite the power house on
Madison street, was shot and killed by
an old man about 60 years of age,
whose name is not yet known, some
time today. The man shot and killed
himself at the same time, as his body
was found and he held a revolver,
which was clasped in his hand, two
chambers being empty. The discovery
was made by lady, the wife of a
butcher living on Woodhouse street.
Going to visit Mrs. Jansen, the butch
er's wife saw the body Of Mrs. Jansen
lying on bed. Thinking something
was wrong she summoned her hus-
band, who broke in the door about 3
O'Clock this afternoon, and found that
Mrs..Jansen was dead in her bed and
that lying on the floor was the body of
a man holding a revolver i'm his hand,
while a bullet hole under his ear
showed how he had met his death.
old pioneer, having lived in Seattle for
the past seventeen years in the little
log house nearly opposite the power
house, where she cultivated quite a
little farm. The man who shot her
ard himself is said to be "a Swede, who
was employed by Mrs. Jansen as a
gardener. The cause for the double
crime is said to be that the gardener
wanted to marry Mrs. Jansen for the
sake of her property, but he discovered
that she was about to be married, and
it is believed that, finding his efforts TO
scare her into marriage with him were
unavailing, he shot her, and finding
that he had killed her, then committed
suicide.
The name of the suicide was Andrew
Sanburn, and ex-City Delegate Davis,
who knew Sanburn, said that about a
week ago Sanburn had told him that
he had taken to drinking, that he
loved Mrs. Jansen, who had encour-
aged his attentions, but that latterly
she had thrown him overheard and
was to marry another man, and there
was now no hope in life for him. Mr..
Davis said that from Sanburn's actions
he thought he was a little cracked.
Mr. Davis says the name of the woman
was Mary Jansen and that she owned
the property on which she lived, and
was believed to have other property
and to be rich.

List of Articles Imported by the Ha-

A market not only for our natural
products, but for our manufactured ar
ticles as well, is a matter Of prime inn
portance. And in view of the situa-
ton in Hawaii, and the recent opening
up Of direct communication by steam
ers between Puget sound and these
islands, 1t may not prove uninteresting
to note such products as are or may be
in demand at Honolulu, and to secure
in exchange return freights Of sugar,
molasses, rice, coffee or any other pro-
ducts of the Hawaiian islands which
may find a market in this state.
The following statement, compiled
by James G.. Swan, Hawaiian consul at
Port Townsend, from the report of the

shows the amount Of business trans
acted between San Francisco with arti-

CHURCH UNION.
H Seems to he In the Near Fu-
dslre.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The devo-
tional exercises which opened the second
days session of the Presbyterian General
Assembly was conduced by Rev. DIR.
Smith of Baltimore. Previous to the
reading of the minutes of yesterday, per-
manent Clerk Moore requested that the
brother who had exchanged overcoatS
with him would come and get his own;
also that the person who had the mode
rator's overcoat would return it.
Rev. Mr.. McCauley, of Dayton. Ohio,
moved a reconsideration of the vote yes
terday on the Worlds Fair Sunday
opening for the purpose of offering. a
substitute for that resolution, going
more into detail. Reconsideration was
refused by an almost unanimous vote,
and McCauley then moved to add a
substitute to the resolution of Yesterday
but the Assembly refused to consider it.
On motion of DIR. Harsha of Nebraska,
a resolution was adopted tor the ap-
pointment of committee to formulate
an expression of opinion upon the Chi
nese exclusion act, as 1T effects foreign
missionary work.
Stated Clerk Roberts announced that
the reports of various boards. commit
tees and officers of church and assembly
had been received.
DR.. Smith of Baltimore introduced
Rev. Dr. Duncan. of the Episcopal
church who represented the joint com
mittee which had under consideration
the subject of church unity. This COM
mittee has been in session the past two
days, and DIR. Duncan was selected to
represent the Episcopal church before the
assembly. He said there were four points
which the Episcopal church believed to
be essential to a basis of union, and
upon three of them they had practically
agreed. The fourth, upon which no
conclusion had been reached, involved
largely difference in terms only. AS a
final outcome of the committee work
DIR. Duncan prophesied that in the not
far dist ant future instead of two church
organizations there shall be but one.
The moderator then announced the
standing committees.
