HAD TO WORK LABOR DAY.
Hiram Adams Was So Much Opposed to It
He Killed Himself.

South Norwalk. Conn.,, September r.
Hiram L. Adams, first mate of the steamer
Agile of the New Yorksand Norwalk steam
boat line was shot shortly after midnight
this morning. The police arrived very
quickly after the deed was committed and
found Adams with bullet in his brain
The ball was from SO calibre revolver
Sheriff James Toner placed Mrs. Adams un-
der arrest on suspicion. Coroner Burke ex
amined the remains and advanced the
opinion 1t was suicide. Further investiga-
tions will be made. Mrs. Adams said Adams
acted strangely for two days and was intox-
icated when he arrived home about eleven.
He complained of the necessity of having tc
work Labor day. and said if he shot himself
his troubles would cease. According to her
story he went to bed, and subsequently
rose, dressed and sat down in a chair near
the kitchen window, and drawing pistol
from his inside pocket placed it to his
temple and fired. Death was instantaneous.
The dead man is thirty years old and Mrs
Adams is somewhat older.

squelched by Police.

Berlin, Septem ber 2.-The anniversary
of Sedan was observed here with the
usual decoration of the streets, although
the popular enthusiasm was dampened
by rumorssof the Emperor's disapproval.
If the police had allowed the Sedan Gel
ebration to take its course today there
would have been such a demonstration
as the empire has seldom seen since the
war. Not only in Berlin, but in the
provinces. rumor of an effort to suppress
the festival caused strong reaction of
feeling. In Berlin, at the suggestion. ..of
the authorities, most of the schools held
exercises and plcnics yesterday. Social
democrats were somewhat disappointed
by the change as they expected to use
big crowds as q background for their
demonstration at the funeral of Agnes
Wabnitz, the socialist3 waitress who
killed herself in Friedrichschaen ceme-
terry last week. The police warning
against big socialist funeral was obeyed
without protest. A few delegates from
socialist clubs and half a dozen person.
al friends accompanied the body to the
cemetery.

uNsATIsFiED SAMOA.
She Wants to'be Annexed by Germany
What Would be the Result.

Washington, September 2.-News
from Berlin that 60 foreigners in Samoa
including two Englishmen. and one
American, had asked the German gov
ernnient TO annex the islands, is all the
more significant in view of the present
attitude of the United Estates concern
ing the Samoan affairs. Samoa and this
country have practically parted compa-
ny. No United States warship is kept
at Apia, and probably none will be sent
there during this adm inistration, except
for the protection OF lives and property
of Americans in the event of hostilities.
That the United States government has
abandoned its share in the triplicate
protectorate over the Samoan Islands, is
now accepted as a fact in diplomatic
circles. The opportunities such co urse
opens for other parties to the agreement
is emphasizes by the petition to EN-
peror William. In his last annual mes-
sage to Congress, President Cleveland
showed clearly what would be the atti-
tude of this government in future rela-
tions with Samoa as outlined by Secre-
tary Gresham, in effect the policy adopt
ed is, it unwise fol- the United States to
meddle in the affairs of Samoa, because
the islands are too far away to do us any
good, and continuation of the protec-
torate is a constant menace to the
American place. 1t would be interesting
to note what the attitude of the United
States will be If Germany acts favorably
upon the petition presented to its emper-
or and attempts to annex Samoan terri
tory. Whatever the policy of this gov
ernment, shouldssuch attempt be made,
it is certain Great Britain would not
submit tamely to surrender it's rights
soon again be a centre Of interest for the
civilized world.
