Ex-Represertative Baldwin of Minnesota,
who will be succeeded by a republican in
the fifty-fourth Congress, says that the
prospects of the democracy are brighten
ing in Minnesota. He says that the people
of that state generally favor the low tariff
IDEAS, even so prominent a republican as
Gov. Knute Nelson being a low-tarin ad-
vocate. Sentiment in the state, Mr.. Bald
win says, is divided on the financial ques-
ton. There is considerable strength for
silver in the state, especially among re-
publicans. The republican who succeeds
him in Congress is an active free silver
man. who is engaged in organizing silver
clubs.
The democratic organiza ton, he says, will
be controlled by sound money men, and a
sound morey delegation will go to the
democratic national convention.
He says that Mr.. Cleveland would make
a good enough candidate for him again and
that Cleveland democrats are numerous in
Minnesota, but he does not believe Mr..
Cleveland wants to be renominated
Speaking of the boom of Senator Davis
for the republican nomination, he said that

almost prehistoric. but don't think there

are in favor of true bimetallism. Neither
silver nor gold alone is going to do. They
will get together and agree on both. This

A Second Protest Has Been Received
by Mgr. SatOlH.
The protest against the manufacture and
sale of beer by the Benedictines of t. Vim

consideration by Archbishop Satolli. A sec
ond protest has been received here, this
time coming from a temperance society
of Buffalo, of which Rev. Father Zurcher
is president. Mgr. Satoln has sent a letter
to the Benedictines referring to the COM
plants. They have forwarded response,
saying that there was no scandal connect
ed with the sale of the beer, which, they
stated, was dcne merely to cover the cost
Of manufacture for their own consumption
and the expense of the internal revenue
tax. The total amount manufactured, it
was stated, was in the neighborhood of
four barrels a week, which they regarded
as an insignificant output. The Benedic-
tires announce, however, their readiness
to see what can be done in the matter to
quiet the criticisms. A second letter has
just reached the archbishop, in which the
Benedictines refer to pamphlet circulated
in Pennsylvania, criticising their produc-
tion of beer and reiterate their attitude
already outlined, citing the insignificance
of the output, the objects of the sale and
other reasons as a justification. Mgr. Sa-
tolli has not so far formulated any definite

Controllers Decision That Has
Caused Much Dissatisfaction.
A decision made by the controller of the
treasury that the statute allowing double
fees to United States marshals. district at
torneys and clerks in the far western states
and territories of Washington, Oregon, Cal
ifornia, Wyoming. Montana, Idaho, North
and South Dakota. New Mexico. Arizona
Utah and Nevada did not apply to mileage,
has caused much dissatisfaction among
those officials. Previous to the decision,
double mileage had been allowed, it being
cCntended that 1t was largely on account of
the greatly increased cost of travelling in
western states and territories that the law
for double fees was Passed. The United
States marshal of Nevada has written to
prominent judicial officer of the govern
ment that, in his opinion, mileage comes
u1 der the head Of fees, and has suggested
that the matter be brought to the attention
of the Department of Justice. This, it is
believed, will be done. Controller Bowler
based his decision on an opinion of the Su-
preme Court, made several months ago, in
a case involving the maximum of fees to
be allowed the court holding that mileage
was not a fee.

John q. Yakey, the Commission
Merchant, Commits Suicide.
DESP0NDENT OVER His REVERSES
He Hires a Boat, Rows Out in the
River and Jumps Overheard.
OF THE EED

John H. Yakey, a commission merchant
doing business under the firm name Of
Snouffer & Yakey, at 901 Louisiana avenue
drowned himself in the Potomac opposite
the arsenal shortly after O'Clock this
morning. About the hour designated a
well-dressed man, apparently between
forty-five and fifty years Of age, entered T.
Ritter's boat house, at the foot of p street
and adjoining the arsenal grounds, and
rented a rowboat. He entered the craft
and pulled away from the boat house
Half an hour afterward Mr.. Ritter noticed
a boat adrift on the river and went after
1t. 1t was the same one he had rented to
his early visitor. There were light-colored
sack coat and vest lying on the seat and
hat in the bottom of the boat. Mr.. Ritter
brought the boat to the float and notified
Harbormaster Sutton of the occurrence
Mr.. Sutton examined the clothing, finding
in the vest some small change amounting
to $1.3O, cigar, round-trip ticket to
Alexandra, pair of eyeglasses and bot
tie of laudanum, out of which about
tablespoonful of the contents had been
taken. The name of the druggist on the
label had been scratched out. In the hat
was found written the name of John II.
Yakey, PIG 11th street southwest
Harhormaster Sutton Immediately noti-
fed police headquarters, and word was
business. Mrs. Yakey was reluctant to be-
heve that anything had happened to her
husband, and proceeded to the store on
Louisiana avenue under the Bjou Theater.
She opened the safe and was shocked to
discover a letter addressed to her by her
husband. telling her that he intended to
drown himself, as he could no longer keep
up under steady reverses and disappoint-
ments. Mrs. Yakey's grief was pitiful when
the full meaning of her husbands letter
broke upon her, and strongly affected the
friends of the desperate man who had
gathered to comfort her.
Mr.. Yakey was about fifty years old, and
a native of Virginia. He entered the COM
mission trade here many years ago in part
nerSh1p with George w. Snouffer, but the
latter afterward withdrew and Yakey con-
Quoted the business alone. He was a man
of melancholy disposition, and had recently
become respondent over his affairs. His
domestic relations were amiable, but a con-
slant succession of business reverses made
him morose, and he grew nervous and ir-
ritable, and it is thought among his friends
that he was temporarily insane when he
committed his rash deed. 1t is believed he
left 4absolutely no property except that
found upon his person.
The finding of the steamer ticket to Alex
andria in Mr.. Gakey's pocket is taken TO
show that when he proceeded to the river
to carry out his determination he at first
intended to leave by the ferry boat and
jump overheard from that, but upon re-
Election he concluded that an alarm would
be sounded in such a case and rescue
perhaps accomplished, SO he decided to
take his other and surer course.
The body Recovered.
Mr. Yakey's body was recovered from
the river by the crew of the police boat
about o'clock this afternoon.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, August 29-The star
chamber session of the labor representa-
tives last night continuing for five hours
has created widespread comment among
the politicians here. By hair-breadth ma
Jority it was decided by the labor people 10

five Independent legislative candidates on
the ticket. This, it is claimed by the can
didates who have announced themselves,
will give them a better showing than ever.
1t is thought that this decided movement
on the part of the labor people will work
wonders toward abolishing campaign
speeches by the other candidates who are
not anxious to give full vent to their po-
litical views IN meetings where labor peo-
pie are largely assembled. The opinion
seems to prevail that the labor candidates
will be selected from outside the list al
ready in the field.

While pleased with the turn that our dip-

satisfied with the present representation
Of our navy in the waters Of that country,
the naval authorities here are still looking
forward with eager interest to the compile
tion OF the three light-draft gunboats I ow
In process of construction at Newport
News, Va. These vessels are designed es-
pecially for the Chinese service, and are
expected to be of great value in coast
navigation and in ascending the Chinese
rivers. 1t is felt that with so many inter-
es.s centering in China rs at present it is
important that the United States should be
prepared not only to protect American cit
liens, but If the opportunity offers, to pro-
mote American commerce. These vessels
are provided with "overhangs" FOR the
protection of their propeilers against the
driftwood and snass in the Chinese riv-
ers, and it is believed will be found to be
especially adapted for serving both these
purposes. They will also enjoy the advan-
taBe of being moved more economically
than the larger vessels and of being more
easily protected during storms in the WIN
ter season.
The 18TH Of September has been set as
tie date for their launching, and Assistant
Secretary McAdoo expresses the opinion
that they will be ready by that time After
they are launched from six to nine months
