the shots without reason. She would not
say whether she was on friendly or init

Flint was seen at the Plaza earlier in
the evening and was spoken to by Officer

spirits and showed no sign of being in
toxicated or discomposed.
A number Of persons heard the shots

DEADLY LAUDANUM.
Four Ounces of 1t Ends the Life of
F,P. Grogan.
An Eccentric Man, Who Seems to
Have Concluded Life is Not
Worth Living.

f. P. Grogan, man about 60 years of
age, died last night at the residence of
George Bronner, 1925 L street, from the
effects of laudanum, presumably taken
with suicidal intent.
Grogan had been acting in an eccentric
manner for some time, and on Tuesday
told lady at the house that he would
commit suicide.
She talked him out of the notion, at the
same time not placing much confidence
in what he said, as she thought that he
was merely temporarily out of humor.
Yesterday he borrowed some money of
person at the house, saying he wanted
it to purchase some medicine, and he
went down town, returning about 10
O'Clock in the forenoon. He told the
houss keeper that he was not feeling WELL
and wonld go to his room, and that he
would not want any dinner.
About two hours later some one
heard heavy groans coming from his
room. and when the door was opened
suffering, but it was some time before it
was suspected or discovered that he had
| taken laudanum.
AS soon as the discovery was made the
| City Physician, DIR. G. b. Nichols, was
summoned. BE at once comprehended
| the case, and endeavored by prompt ap-
plication of antidotes and other methods
| 10 save the mans life. He arrived too
late, however, for although he worked
with Grogan for several hours it was
without avail, and he died about $3.50
o'clock last night.
1t was ascertained that he took fully
four ounces of Iaudanum, and when DR..
Nichols reached him he saw that there
was but very slight possibility of his
being able to save his life, yet he spared
no efforts to do so.
Grogan was employed at various places
as a gardener, latterly at the State Print
ing Office, and is said to have had plenty
of means.
On the 10Th of April last he was arrested
on a charge of striking Mrs. NJ. @. X kent
with a cane, and was convicted and fined
$50 therefor. 1t is evident that for some
time past he had not been fully response

The japanese cotton rug is picturesque.

protect the floor from sparks of fire as

while the same accident with a wooden
rug need lead to no disastrous conse-

smothered. For this reason both cotton

great care. They are expensive, when

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The shipment
of gold from London to New York, news
Of which was received this morning, is
looked upon as showing that the tide in
gold exports has turned. For the past
three weeks no gold has been exported.
AS consequence. the Treasury Depart
ment has been gaining gold during that
period, the net balance to-day standing
at s94, ,050, $40. In the building up of this
gold the Treasury Department redeemed
nearly S6,0000OO of gold certificates, the
amount outstanding to-day being $685.

S26, ,420, 4I5. S12, ,253, 900 in subsidiary silver
and minor coin and S1I. .92l, 900 in national
bank repositories. The statement shows
that the Treasury is provided with good
working currency balance, so much so,
indeed, that it is probable, though as yet
not determined, to anticipate the quar-
terly interest due on July lst on United

charges, in substance, that the recent re-
movals of Federal officials in the District
of Washington, including my own, from
the Office of United States Attorney, were
occasioned by the discovery that these
officials formed the most extensive and
successful conspiracy ever formed to
smuggle Chinese and opium into the
United States. So far as this dispatch
concerns me it may be necessary in this
era of partisan politics to say to those
who do not know me that whoever in
spired it is a common liar. 1 have also

Ex-senator Edmunds Favors Repeal
ing the Sherman Act.
New YORK, June 2I.-An interview
with ex-senator George F. Edmunds is
printed, in which he says: 81 have no
legislation to propose beyond the repeal
of the Sherman law and the return to the
monetary laws which existed before 1873.
l have no doubt the operation of the
Sherman law had helped to bring about
the present crisis. When we passed the
Sherman Act we were between the devil
and deep sea. Something had to be
done. a crisis was pending. 1 voted for
the measure, and am willing to take my
share of the responsibility, although L
was not personally in favor of 1t. A can
vass showed us that if we did not pass
the Act the silver men would pass a free
silver bill. About hree-fourths of the
Democrats and one-fourth of the Repub-
Gcans would have voted for the free coin
age bill.
81 voted for the Sherman law to prevent
a financial crisis on the free silver bill.
| urged in the caucus that the operation
of the Act be limited to five, then to ten
years, but the amendment was not ac-
cepted.
Il think it would be we'll to go back to
the currency law which existed before
the Bland law-gold coined at the Mint
free of charge; silver also coined upon the
payment of seignorage by the owner of
the bullion, and if not enough for the
needs of currency presented, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury was authorized to
b11U en- FIJI Ct1antifiaS T,, ,.,o--
the demand and supply regulated itself
and silver was not driven out of use.
II do not believe in dispensing with
silver. If such an arrangement cannot
be lmade, why not fix a new ratio be-
tween gold and silver, based on the pres
ent market value? No such ratio would
be permanent. 1t would have to be
changed from time to time, as the pro-
duction of gold or silver increased, but 1
think fair ratio fixed now would last
twenty years. l have not much faith in
the settlement of the currency by inter-
national congresses. The European idea
of the use of silver is different from ours,
''I am not in favor of annexing Hawaii,
bnt think we should take good care that
no other nation gets the islands. If we
should annex them it. would be only a
question of time when we should admit
them as State. They would then have
two Senators and be as powerful in the
Senate as the State Of New York. This
is only one of the good objections offered.
l think we ought to make close treaty,
practically establishing a protectorate
over the islands, keeping an American
influence predominant and making their
interests Identical with the interests of
the United States"
