Jealousy Leads r. G. hdin to Pat an
End to His Life.
PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 11.-R. c. Kahn,
a well-known carpenter living at 800 Tay-
lor street, this morning shot himself in the
mouth with suicidal intent, and died at {
o'clock this afternoon.
The cause prompting Kahn to kill him
self was jealousy. His wife, with whom
he had lived happily for twelve years,
transferred her affections year ago to a
Sellwood grocer named Brockwell Since
then the Kains have not been living q
peaceful life. A week ago Kahn attempted
but was saved. He then stoutly denied
having had suicide in contemplation.

MYSTERIO DISAPPEARED.
Thomas Burns, q Well-to-Do Farmer.
Missing From His Home.

Thomas Burns, Well-to-Do Farmer.
Missing From His Home.
STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. u-Thomas
Burns, one of the best-known farmers in
San Joaquin County, has disappeared, and
not the slightest clew to his whereabouts
has been found. The last person who is
known to have met Mr.. Burns was Lyndall
Miller, broker of this city. This was on
the afternoon of October %, and he was to
call again the next day to arrange some
business matters.
Mrs. Burns on that morning drove with
her husband from his ranch near Wood
bridge to the railroad station. He had
been suffering from injuries received some
years ago in a runaway, and one of the
purposes of his visit was to see physician.
This he did not do.
Mr.. Burns affairs are all IN good shape,
and his large ranch, upon which he has re-
sided since 1870, is one of the most valuable
IN the county. He was a very sober and
domesticated man, and the members of
his family fear that he has met with some
accident and is unable to communicate
with them. None of his relatives or
friends have seen him since the date of his
disappearance, and the mystery deepens
each day.

LULU ISLAND GOLD CRAZE.
Knights of the Cloth Investing in Place,
Claims.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. 16.-The
mining boom in'British Columbia has
spread even to the clergy. A well-known
Methodist minister of Richmond, near
this city, was the first to announce the
news of the gold finds in his district, and
the ministers on Lulu Island are said to be
considerably interested. Now the Rev.
rather Coccola, the energetic head of the
st. Eugene Mission in East Kootenay, has
successfully negotiated the bonding OF the
Nip and Tuck placer claim in the Mis-
sion, district. Father Coccola, who is
locally very popular, has thus further es-
tabllshed his previous reputation as a good
business man as well as devout priest.

The Tracklayers Have Reached
a Point Half Way to
the River.
FOUR THOUSAND FEET A DAY
Progress Of the Construction Force
Will Be Rapid From This
Time Forward.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. 1.-THE con-
struction forces on the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad have reached point nearly mid
way between this city and the Stanislaus
River, or about twelve miles from the
Mormon Channel crossing. In order to
make the best of the present pleasant
weather the crews are working from sun
up to shutdown.
As the scene of operations is now so far
removed from the city il has been decided
to send boarding-car out on the line to
accompany the men as they move along
the grade. This will save the time wasted
in going to and from the city.
The construction train is now making
four trips daily over the line, and hauling
six cars of material each trip. This is
used up by the gangs as fast as it is I'M
loaded. The engineers are greatly pleased
over the settlement of the Chalmers mat
ter and the securing of this land removes
the last possibility of the work being
checked between here and the river.
The men are now working on straight
line, and the next five miles are without a
curve. There is little or no grade between
here and the river, and the programme of
putting down 1000 feet daily can easily be
carried out.
Grant Brothers and their force of
graders are now at work on the last stretch
of the grade and will finish it in about two
weeks. Christmas day will see the track
layers operating within sight of the river.

MOBILE BAY.

At the twenty-fourth annual meeting
of the Cotton exchange, held at Mobile
on Thursday last, the president, Lyman
c. Dorgan, Esq, said:
During the year the dredging of the
channel to % feet has been accomplished
but the work should progress until the
deepest cut is materially widened. Our
greatest need now is more wharf space,
|. e., deeper water at our wharves par
ticularly for unloading inward cargoes
The trustees of the city wharves will
doubtless receive permission from the
chancellor to raise funds for dredging in
front of the city wharves. I believe the
river commission will finally conclude
that the bulkheads of the wharves should
be extended to the present wharf line.
AS they are, there are 40 feet of wooden
wharves under which accumulates dead
wood, decayed fruit, bodies and garbage
of all kinds, which can not be conducive
to good health. Besides, believe by ex-
tending the bulkheads whatever dredging
is done will be more easily maintained
at Is unfortunate that the government
has found 1t necessary to dredge the river
channel so far to the eastward of the
north end of the city as to be practically
useless to the city proper
There seems to be some cause for de-
lay In giving us and maintaining the
splendid system of channel lights SO long
promised. To this and other matters
pertaining to the channel l respectfully
call the attention of our river and harbor
committee"

THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION

There is very general apathy as to the
action of the South Carolina convention
on the suffrage question. The opinion of
the people of the north is indicated by
the following language of the Philadel-
phia Bulletin. That paper says: 1.-THE
plain truth is that the republicans gen.
orally have come to the conclusion that
universal negro suffrage has been
failure, and that the desire of the south
to free itself from the evils of a great
mass of ignorance. stupidity and super
stition at the ballot box is largely par
donable." This Philadelphia journal

THE RUSSIAN PLAN,

There Is no shadow of doubt that the
United States sympathzes with Russia
in her plan to get strong foothold on
the Asiatic Pacific coast 1t is contest
between Russia and Great Britain. and
this nation Is always against the agrees
sions of Great Britain, not that we do
not admire the results of her rule, but
because it is very evident that she is get
ting too strong and that pretty soon, I'M
less she is stopped, she will interfere with
the free and independent trade of all 9TH
er nations. There must be a balance of
power and there can be no such salutary
balance so long as England assumes to
dictate to the whole world. She has a
Gordon of military posts and colonies at
present all around the world. and she
darts out at pleasure from her fortified
posts. like the robber barons of the dark
ages from their castles, and levies con-
tributions upon the entire world. 1t is
gratifying to know that Russia is ready
to measure weapons with her, and that
France stands ready to aid Russia if
Germany should come to the assistance
of John Bull. The United States would
not object to a condition of affairs that
would give Russia slice of upper China
and France another slice of lower China
adjacent to her Tonquin and Cochin
China settlements. Nobody lays much
stress upon the Frenchman as coli
onzer. but he is infinitely better than the
coolie; and while we do not particularly
admire the Cossack we are willing to see
him thwart Great Britain in her scheme
to rule the world. In this connection 1t
is interesting to have the views of Sena3
tor Morgan, chairman Of our senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, upon this in
terestfng question.
In a recent interview our senator saws,
whether the newspapers are technically
correct in stating that treaty has been
contaminated between Russia and China
for the occupancy of the harbor at Port
Arthur by the Russian fleet, and the ex-
tension of the Siberian railroad through
Manchuria, I am confident that such an
arrangement is among the probabilities
of the near future, and when it is made
the government of the United States
should do nothing to prevent Its consum-
nation. 1t is the legitimate result of the
situation. Our interests in this instance,
as in most others. are antagonistic to
those of England. The country is merely
seeking in antagonizing Russia in this
matter, to hold the trade advantages she
now enjoys in the Orient, and being her
