press our interest in this question. and our
earnest hope that you may decide this mat

was played out and wanted to get good.
long rest before going to work Before GO
ing up he purchased a half-pint bottle of
whisky to take with him. and asked for
a glass out of which to drink it. He picked
up a small piece of sausage from the lunch
counter. saying it was all the breakfast he
wanted. About o'clock a telephone mes
sage was received from the ticket office,
and the hotel clerk sent ii to Mr. Hays
room. When the bell boy reached there he
found Mr. Hay sleeping soundly, and, on
his being unable to arouse him. he hastily
called the clerk, who ran to the room and
found Mr. Hay in a conatose condition.

that it was a joke, but on looking toward
the mirror anu seeing written tnere in

of a serious nature had happened. He
sent for doctor at Cnce ard in few
minutes DR.. Guile responded, and later
Drs Smith and Purvis appeared. These

of the dying man. have been working on
Mr.. Hay all night, using every restorative
known to the medical science and though
he is still alive, but little hope is enter
tained of his recovery.

MATARAM BESIEGED.

The Dutch Bonn ba riding the Capital of
LOmbOk.
AMSTERDAM, August 30.-A dispatch re-
ceived here from Batavia says that Mata-
ram. capital of the Island of LOmbok.
where the Dutch troops have recently met
with serious reverses at the hands Of the
Balinese. is in the possession Of the rebels.
The dispatch adds that Mataram is being
bombarded by the Dutch fleet.
1t appears that the attack upon the Dutch
expedition sent to chastise the Rajah of
Lombok was planned by one of the old
princes. who had been melted to do so by
the native chiefs.
The Dutch commanders are taking steps
to stir up the Sassak chiefs against the
Balinese. The latter have been reinforced
from the land side OF Mataram.
