AN OLD SOLDIER SUICIDES.
He First Prayed for Republican
Success.

Los ANGELES, Nov. S.-Major H. H.
Hassack, resident of West Virginia,
committed suicide today with a small
% calibre revolver, borrowed from
boy. The deed was committed in 8
room over Sharp's undertaking rooms.
He had been in Los Angeles but short
time and was endeavoring to work up
stock company for the sale of the
Worlds Fair photographs. He left
several letters to his wife in Wheeling.
In one letter he said that dependency
was the cause, and he also prayed that
the Republicans might be successful all
over the country. The letter winds up
by stating that he had changed his
mind about committing the deed upon
the church steps. He said it would be
shameful and concluded to get room
over an undertaking establishment. He
said he would be willing to leave life if
he could only demolish one enemy be-
fore "taps' was called. Hassack was
evidently soldier and was very courtly
in his bearing.

Apparently Successful.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 8.-The Plain
Dealer, Democratic, says: By major
ity certainly large enough for all practi-
cal purposes, Mckinley succeeds him
self as governor of Ohio. To those
closely in touch with the events in the
Ohio campaign. this is not surprise,
while the vote given Mckinley by no
means indicates either personal or party
strength IN more stirring political times
to come, it is patent that Ohio has just
been the field of preliminary presi-
Dental skirmish according to plan to
that effect long ago mapped out and cir
cumstsnces conspired to render it ap.
parently successful.

Spreads Death in a Crowded Opera
House.
BARCELONA, Nov. S.-The second act
of the opera had just commenced when
a bomb was thrown either from the
fourth or fifth gallery. Thirteen per-
sons were killed instantly and several
others badly injured. Eight persons
are in a serions condition. Several were
trampled to death and scores were in
jured during the panic after the explo-
sion. The interior of The opera house
was badly wrecked.
The authors OF the terrible disaster
were not arrested and are apparently
unknown. An Italian, Saldini, was ar
rested on suspicion OF being responsible
for the outrage, and declares innocence
but his statements are contradictory.
At council OF the ministry tonight
special power was granted the police to
pursue persons connected with last
nights crime. The new powers con-
ferred are equivalent TO a suspension of
the habeas corpus.

JUDGE MORROW WAITS
And the Department of Justice Is
Thereby Surprised.

lHSTSOy our
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The action of
Judge Morrow, OF San Francisco, in
taking under advisement the telegram
of Attorney General Olney, directing
him, in view of the amendments of the
Geary act, to release the Chinese held
for deportation under the original act,
is somewhat of a surprise to officials of
the department of justice. The only
reason they give for the judges action
is desire on his part to await receipt
of copy of the amended act before
passing upon the order of the district
attorney, to ascertain if it bears out the
Interpretation placed upon it by the
encouragement concerning the release
of the prisoners. Technically, they
say his action would be proper and
regular, though they fail to see how any
other construction of the act can be ar
rived at. No communication on the
subject has been received at the depart
ment from the district attorney. A
printed copy of the act should reach
San Francisco in a few days.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The Post, edi-
torially, will say tomorrow: If the re-
suits of the great political landslide of
Tuesday demonstrates one thing more
than another it is that when really
great principles or great economic inter-
ests are involved in contest the merely
party yoke hangs loosely around the
public neck. In Massachusetts, in
Ohio, and in Iowa the tariff question
undoubtedly exerted powerful inau-
ence in maintaining and increasing the
Republican majority. The great Re
publican victory in New York, however,
furnished the most impressive lesson OF
the day. This is lesson which, if
wisely conned, the Democracy of the
Empire state may profit by.

New YORK, Nov. 8.-The Evening
Sun, Democratic, Gays: The defeat of
the Democrat party throughout the
country must be assumed to be due
more to Democratic detection than to
Repu blican gains. The whole election
turned upon national issues, yet the
people voted, heretofore to reform an
unconstitutional tariff,in the interest Of
those who wished to reform it in the
direction of a tariff for revenue only.

PopuliSt Decay,

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. S.-Indications
tonight are that Harrison. Republican,
for supreme judge, will carry the state
by from 1000 to 5000 plurality over Hol-
comb, Populist. Only about half the
state isTheard from. Returns chow a
heavy falling off in the vote, probably
ten per cent, per cent Republican and
5 per cent Democratic. Five per cent
Of the Republicans went to the Populist
candidate for supreme judge and prob
ably ten per cent of the Democrats. In
spite of this the Populist vote shows
decrease. and it is taken as good evil
dence that the party in Nebraska is on
the decline. Twenty-four counties out
of ninety in the state show Harrison,
Republican, 1850; Holcomb, Populist,
sl6, ,440; Irvine, Democratic, 9l89; Mrs.
Bittenbender, Prohibition, 164O.

a different result.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. 8.-Returns

Twenty Lives Lost on Burning
Steamer.


NORTH BAB, Ont, Nov. s.-The
steamer Fraser, owned by Davidson,
Hay & Co., of Toronto, for Franks Bay,
Lake Nipissing, with supplies for lum-
bermen, was burned and twenty lives
were lost. She caught fire about three
miles from Goose Island and a panic
must have ensued as only seven lives
were saved out of twenty y-seven or
twenty y-eight.
The fire was witnessed from Franks
Bay by Capt. Burritt and a young In
dian. They Immediately put off in a
boat but by the time they reached the
spot the steamer was burning to the
waters edge and seven survivors had
reached the top of the scow, which was
in tow. The hull of the boat sunk in
about twenty-five feet of water and all
that now marks the spot of the catas.

which appears above the waters edge.

A CYCLONE IN BULLOCK.

Pembroke, Sept "a severe cyclone
passed through Bu1loch county this morn

winch was about seven miles from here.
According to the reports given out by The
farmers who live near the track of the
storm and L. F. Wood, it originated one
mile on this side of Ashes branch and
took a northeast course. Ashes branch
is a half mile wide in a swamp, covered
thicl1ly with large trees. Through this it
cut a path equal to railroad right-of-
way, and passed on, not leav-
ing a tree standing. It also
went through Mr.. j. M. Bowen's. fields,
scattering fences through the air, and
blew down and tore alto pieces an out
house, buggy and cart. From there it
passed through the farms of Willie La
nier, w. H. and e B. Hughes, blowing
down two cotton houses, but missed the
residences. As far as known no one was
hurt The force of the wind was evil
IDENTIFY sufficient to blow down any ordi-
nary wood house, and doubtless some Sc
rious damage was done in localities from
which no report has been received here.
At the beginning its path was about fifty
yards wide, but this width rapidly in
creased. Large tree~tops were taken up
and carried almost out of sight and off a
mile or two. The trash the cyclone was
carrying could be seen revolving high up
in the air. The roaring of the cyclone
was plainly heard a very long distance.
