AN ATTORNEYS SUICIDE.
Seligsohn's Supersensitiveness Led Him
to Avoid Responsibility.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. s.-The
body of Michael Seligsohn, a young at
torney, who has been missing for the
past ten days, was found floating in the
bay yesterday afternoon by H. e. Mich
olson and r. T. Holburg, while they were
out yachting. The yachtsmen towed
the body to Mission-street wharf and
notified the coroner.
1t was at first supposed that the de-
ceased had met with foul play, but SUBJ
sequent developments show that he
committed suicide after deliberate
preparation, and after notifying at least
three persons of his intention. The mo-
tive of his suicide seems to have been
a representative conscientiousness and
morbid fear that he was not equal to
the responsibilities and duties thrust
upon him. He had brighter prospects
than nine out of ten young lawyers of
no longer standing at the bar than he.
In fact. he had practice practically
given to him. Apparently it was the
fear that he would not prove worthy OF
the confidence placed in him, and the
dread of having to acknowledge that
he was not, that led him to the deter
mination to escape responsibility by
suicide.

EUROPEAN MARKETS.
Steady Advance of Prices of All Amer
lean Securities.

LONDON, Nov. S.-The presidential
election has had little visible effect on
the money market beyond the cessation
of gold shipments to the United States.
Discount rates remain unchanged until
it Is seen how events will shape them
selves. But it is impossible to overrate
the Importance of the election in restor-
ing confidence and healthy tone on the
stock exchange, where the only weak
spot at present is the mining depart
ment There is no actual bad news from
South Africa, but strong unexplained
feeling of apprehension keeps prices
down. All other markets are buoyant
and if Lord Salisburys speech this week
reveals no other clouds on the political
horizon there is every probability that
there will be no further advances estab-
lished after the settlement which COM
mences on Monday. Home railway Sc
curities have risen in the prospect of
American trade orders. Canadians ad-
vanced in sympathy with Americans.
while the American market displays a
steady advance with increasing dispo-
ston by investors to buy the better class
of securities standing at prices low
enough to return good interest.

makes numerous recommendations

makes numerous recommendations.
The first assistant says: THE atten-
ton of congress ought to be called to
the private letter box abuse in large
cities. It is in some cases impossible to
locate persons engaged in conducting
fraudulent and unlawful correspond
ence through the mails, who for COM
paratively small sum can rent a box in
some cigar or stationery store through
which to receive letters addressed to
them. Several bills have been introduced
within the past few years designed to
put an end to the practice of boycotting
postmasters at offices of the fourth class,
thereby depriving them of the compen-
sation properly belonging to them. This
matter should be called up and action
to that effect would result in postmas-
ters receiving at least the compensation
which properly belongs to their respec-
tive Offices"
Other recommendations are: Placing
dealers in obscene matter on the fraud
ulent list; penalty for the unlawful use
of the frank of a member of congress;
authority for the suspension of post
office employees; for substituting clerks
with pay in the place of regular clerks
necessarily absent; leave with full pay
to clerks or carriers disabled while OIL
duty; substitutes to assist regular car
riers on holidays and other emergencies,
and to require bonds covering negligence
or dishonesty Of money order clerks
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898,
the report asks for appropriations of
$17,000,000 for compensation of postmas-
ters, s11,000,O00 for clerk allowances,
S1,600,000 to cover rent, fuel and light at
first. second and third class postoffices;
$15O,0OO for miscellaneous and incidental
items, including furniture; $4,000 for
cancelling machines, $4,000 for adver-
tisins, s1950oo for postoffice supplies and
$13,320, 500 for free delivery, including
of II, $50 regular carriers.

HARVARD SATISFIED
With the Eligibility Of the Princeton
Football Players.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. s.-This
evening Prof. j. H. Beale, chairman of
the Harvard athletic committee, gave
to the Associated Press the following
statement in regard to the recent ques-
tioning of the standing Of Princetons
big center rush, Bradley:
There has been no dispute between
Harvard and Princeton upon any ques-
ton of fact, nor has Harvard at any
time taken a position which could by
any possibility have caused a rupture
Of the athletic relations existing be-
tween the two universities, or a refusal
by either to play the football game as
arranged.
"a question was at one time raised
as to Bailey's eligibility, but upon in
vestigation, he was found to be per-
fectly eligible. He has played two years
at Lafayette and one at Princeton be-
fore the present year. Harvard has
absolutely no objection to urge against
the eligibility of any man who played
on the Princeton team"

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Arangements
are complete for the opening of the horse
show in Madison Square Garden tomor-
row morning. 1t is the twelfth annual
exhibition under the auspices of the Ma
tional Horse Show association of Ameri-
ca, and while the entries for it are less
numerous, the number of rich boxhold-
ers less than in previous years, the
show itself will, it is expected, in other
respects be up to the standard Of other
shows. None of the Astors are among
the boxholders and the death of Mrs.
w. H. Vanderbilt will leave the leaders
of New Yorks swell set among the abb
sent.
The horse show in recent years has
been pronounced more of human show
than an equine exhibition, but while this
feature may not be so conspicuous dur
ing the coming week. the show of
horses, it is promised, will be better than
ever.
The number of breeders from different
parts of the country who have made
entries, is larger this year than usual.
There will be six thoroughbred stations
shown. They are A. A. Davenport's Pin
to, by Powhattan, II years old; Adolph
Nelson's imported Potentate, s years
old, by Peter; Judge Morrow, by Vaga
bond; and King Galop. each 16 years old.
by Galopin, both owned by S. S. How
land; Favorable, 10 years old, by Sensa-
tion, property of the Brookdale stable,
and F. d. Boards Lazarone, years old,
by Spendthrift.
In the ring will also be many favorites
of former shows. They will include sad
die horses, coach horses, trotters, high
steppers, hackneys and harness horses.
Racers do not figure conspicuously in
the lists.
The attendance this year. 1t is expect
ed, will be fully as large as in previous
years and among the distinguished for
eigners who will attend will be Prince
Luigi Of Savoy, nephew of the king of
Iatly.

Captain s. T. Mitchell Dead.

Captain S. T. Mitchell was buried
this afternoon at Rose Hill ceme-
terry.
Captain Mitchell came here as a
contractor of grade work on the
Texas e. Pacific in 1873, and has
made this place his home almost
continuously since that time He
was interested in the livery stable
business here at one time, and also
held an interest in the old Paragon
saloon. He has had many reverses
in late years, and although he was
67 years old at his death, he never
gave up, but scuflled with the
"wolf' as best he could and kept
it from his door. He leaves a wife
and two children.
We have been an intimate ac-
quaintance of the Captain for the
past twenty years, and always
found him a man of his word. We
tender our sympathy to his wife
and children.

THE WAY THEY TALK.
England Is Not "Much Pump
kins" After All Her Blow
and Sputter.
Her Strength, When it Comes to War
Would Not Amount to a Patch
Ing for this Country,

We have read what the leading
men of England say of the Royal
army, in case they were called upon
to face Uncle Sans army, or our
navy, in case we should decide to
invade that country, and carry our
conquest to its furthest limit. The
Duke of Connaught says
Half the men are not able to
carry their kit. We have not sim
gle infantry battalion at home, eX-
cept the guards; they are all like a
lemon when the juice is squeezed
out of 1t, and unfit in every way to
take the field. To resist an invader
we should have to keep all the many
immature men in the ranks and do
the bsst we could. "
Duke of Cambridge: 1T is doubt
full if we could even mobilize a sin
gle army corps at short notice, and
Lord Wolseley questions If we have
the necessary stores and equip
ments for even this modest force. ,
Lord Charles Beresford: "We
have no army except what is nee
essary for frontier police force for
our scattered dominions, and our
existence as an empire would in no
degree whatever depend upon the
strength of the army, though its
numbers were ten times as great as
at present.
Captain Gambler, r. NJ, "The
conviction cannot be evaded that
among the chief reasons why our
foreign policy is dangerous is that
we have no army to defend our
shores and carry out our foreign
obligations. l belive we are court
ing a great national disaster by not
forcing this question: disaster in
the form of loss of maritime pres
tige-for England would certainly
not be able to send out fleet from
home to ports sufficient to strike a
great blow, leaving our homes un-
protected.
Others speak in equally disparag-
ing terms about England's army
and navy. They have Mediterra-
mean squadron that floats idle on
the waves, as a sample of England's s
greatness, but they have no reserve
squadron to relieve it, should the
worst come. They have country
of their own to guard, and it takes
all of their available force to do
this, and they could lily afford to go
to war with any nation that claims
to be much. The United States
could easily invade England, lay
waste its chief cities and destroy
its shipping,
