HIS WIFE A HINDOO PRINCESS
Who Was nsanely Jealous, BerateS Him for
 Some Unknown Cause
AND HE sPRAnG INTO THE RAGING SEA
After Warning Her of His Purpose-He Car ried Several Thousand Dollars Worth of Jewels With Him-Efforts
 at Rescue Unavailing.

Port Townsend, Wash, June 6.-Prof. T. Nash, chief of the British educational bureau of India last Monday afternoon committed suicide by jumping overheard from the steamship City of Topeka, near Queen Charlotte Sound, Alaska. The deed was committed in the presence of his wife, who is daughter of a Hindoo prince, and immensely wealthy. Mrs. Nash, who is finely educated and quite pretty was intensely jealous of her hus- bands actions. In consequence they engaged in many petty quarrels. When near Queen Charlotte Sound, about o'clock Monday afternoon, she called Professor Nash from the smoking room, and, going on deck, began to berate him for some unknown cause. In the hearing of other passengers he told her if she persisted he would jump overheard. She retorted that she would report him to the captain, who would place him in irons. As the wife turned half round her hus- band deftly leaped over the rail into the sea. A general alarm was sounded and life buoy thrown him, but he made no effort to reach it. The steamer was stopped and boats lowered, and a most diligent search instituted without avail.
 Professor Nash belonged to a wealthy family living in England, and after fif- teen years residence in England was re- turning home. When he sprang into the sea he carried jewels on his person val ued at several thousand dollars.

WEAVER PROMISES HIS AID
To the Free Silver Democrats of Iowa-The
 State Conference.

Des Moines, Ia, June 6.-The state conference of free silver democrats, which opened here at o'clock was called by Ex-Lieut.-Gov. s. L. Bestow and others flor the purpose of deciding upon a plan of action" It is a practical continuation of the democratic end of the non-partisan conference held here yesterday, with an augmented list of participants. The conference yesterday resolved to support none but free silver candidates. It is now the object of the managers of the present conference to shape over this so that the coming demo- cratic state convention will name free silver men and thus take advantage of the non-partisan action. General Weaver has promised so much of the populist support as he can swing for a suitable democratic ticket, and some assurances of free silver republican help have been received.
 The candidate for governor who has been most acceptable to all the silver elements is Ex-Congressman Fred White, but he was earnestly opposed by Ex- State Senator Bolter this morning and s. IT. Bashor w. H. Taylor and MT. Bolter himself was added to the list of candidates. No nominations will be made today nor has any programme for the afternoon been adopted. The attendance is about 100, and includes the leading free silver editors of the state.
