BOTH SUICIDE AND MURDER J.IlLES ROAKEY OF NEW LONDON ERENZIED BY JEALOUSY.

Jumped Through the Window of HI
 Wife's Room and Shot Her as She Slept Returned Home and Shot Himself Twioe-Both shootings Fatal.
 New London, June 2S.-James Rom- key rose from his bed at 5:SO o'clock this morning at the Washington house in Bank street, where he was boarding. went to the house in West Colt street, where his wife, who was living apart from him, was sleeping, and shot her four times, killing the woman in her tracks as she fled. Romkey then re- turned to his boarding house, removed his coat and hat, reloaded the revolver which he had used in killing his wife. descended to the back yard of the hotel and killed himself. He fired two shots. the first taking effect in his head, but not fatally. He then gathered what strength he had remaining, and suc- ceeded in raising the muzzle to his breast, and shot himself through the heart, The murderer gained entrance to his wife's apartments by jumping
 
 fast asleep. He took steady aim and shot her through the left temple. In an instant she was on her feet, and fled from the room. He followed her. firing three shots as he ran The first took effect in her ankle. The second shot graZed the woman's right arm. The fourth and fatal shot passed through her breast, and out through her left shoulder. She dropped and ex- pired in a few minutes. The distance between the homes of the murderer and his victim Is about three quarters of a. mile. Romkey was a half an hour in covering the distance on his way to his wife's sleeping room, but he returned in great haste after having accomplish ed his fatal mission. The couple had been apart for some time It is said another man had come between them. and that to this fact their separation was due. They were not very we'll known here. They came to New Lon- don from Franklin, Mass, and engaged in the laundry business Not long af- ter they had separated, and about a. month ago Mrs. Romkey returned alone. He followed her back to this city but did not live with her. Mrs. Romkey has a father and mother liv- ing in Franklin, Mass, also two broth- CTS and sisters. Romkey was a man about forty-tive years of age, and she was trifie younger. They were mar ried in 1883 in Halifax, N. s. Coroner Franklin H. Brown of Norwich came here and reviewed the two bodies.

SENITOR THURSTON HOPEFUL.
"McKinley Will Win q Great Victory" He
 Says.

Cleveland, O., June 2S.-The members of the republican presidential notifica- ton committee were all assembled to- night with the exception of MT. Rogers of Utah, who telegraphed that he could not come. The committee goes to Can ton tomorrow. Senator Thurston, the chairman, said tonight: T don't think there is any question that Mckinley will win a great victory, but by what plurality I cannot say. I think we will lose Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Montana on account of the silver question.
 ''The rest of the west will wheel into line. The fight will shortly settle down and the tariff will force the money is sue into second place. Senators Teller and Dubois will be reelected to the senate on silver tickets. It is rather significant that these two senators were the only ones to bolt and that they were both up for reelection in silver communities. Those who did not bolt were not up for another term. I have no idea what MT. Hanna will do about the executive committees head quarters. I think he should be allowed to fix them wherever is handiest for his interest"

HIS POLITICAL PANACEA.
"C0IN'' WOULD COMBINE SILVER
 FORCES TO DEFEA T M'RINLEY.

Names Bland for President and Senator
 Butler for Vice President-Wants Sena-
 tor Teller at Head of Treasury-Combi-
 nation of Democrats, Silver Republicans
 and Populists Necessary Idea a
 Novel One.
 Chicago, June 2S.-A special from Ashland, Wis, says: W. H. C'CoinD Harvey in an interview said; My plan is to combine the silver forces of the United States. l am trying to combine the democrats, silver republicans and populists, and have suggested the fol- lowing plan to the leaders of the par ties:
 For president on the democratic ticket, Silver Dollar Bland. If elected, give him the appointment of one cabi- net officer only, secretary of state. Let the democrats indorse the populist nominee for the vice presidency, sena- tor Marion Butler of North Carolina. Let the populists indorse Bland. Let Butler dictate the appointment of sec- retary of the interior, secretary of ag- riculture. secretary of war and secre- tary of the navy. Concede to the sil- Yer republicans three cabinet positions Senator Teller, secretary of the treas ury; Judge Caldwell of the United States circuit court, attorney general, and Mayor Pingree of Detroit, post master general.
 The silver cause is desperate and we cannot beat Mckinley without We combine as I have indicated. I have suggested the plan to Altgeldt, Bland and other leaders. I tell the democrats not to make their platform too demo- cratic. They cannot win as democrats, but only as combined democracy, pop ulists and silver republicans. I am in favor of Bland for president, because his name is a platform in itself, just as McKinley's name is whole platform.
 The intention of our foretathers Tn establishing our electoral system was that the electors should be elected as they are now. and that they should then meet and after discussion vote for whom they wished: There is no law compelling an elector to vote for any man. It is simply custom. Republl- can electors vote for the man at the head of the ticket and the democrats do the same.
 q want to tell you that if the demo- crats. populists and free silver republic cans do not get together they will ultl- mately combine in the electoral col Iege. For instance, if straight demo- cratic electors are elected in the south, silver republican electors in Colorado and Nevada, and populist electors in North Carolina and Kansas these elec- tors will join and vote solidly for such men as Bland and Butler. Pingree can carry Michigan, Teller half a dozen western states, and Caldwell can carry Iowa and the southwest. There are 10000 republicans in Iowa who want to vote for Caldwell There are eight cabinet positions, and their distribution beforehand would carry eight doubtful states for silver"

A EiypIy Raid.

There was some lively tscrapping'' yesterday morning at 28 Redfield street when Patrolmen Streit and J. T. Me- Grath raided the place. Mrs. Bowman, who lives there, was the only occupant at the time. She attempted to make way with six bottles of whiskey, which McGrath tried to secure. While this was going on Martin Farrell, the fa- ther of Mrs. Bowman, returned and grabbed McGrath, and a tussle ensued. Streit then turned his attention to the whiskey and Mrs. Bowman looked out for Streit. The officer held on to the bottles while the woman rained blows upon him. McGrath had by this time recovered from his surprise and was making floor mop with Farrell. There were no arrests made. The case was reported to the prosecuting agent.

TO WELCOME ENDEAVORERS.
The Capital City Making Elaborate Prepa-
 tions for the Event.

uOnS Tor the EVent.
 Washington, June 2S-Much enthusi- asm is manifested here over the ar engagements for the international Chris tian Endeavor convention now fast nearing completion. The city will soon put on gala attire and the officials in charge of the public parks and gar dens have laid out the Christian En- deavor monogram and combinations of the letters 'Y. P. S. c. E." in flowers and gaily colored leaves in the parks of the city. The work of floral decora- ton will be very artistic. The largest design will be east of the Washington monument. The churches also are ac- lively planning for elaborate decora- tions. The national colors will play an important part and in addition the special colors of the state which each church will entertain will be used ef- Actively.
 The decorations of the stores will ex- ceed those of previous gatherings. Three mammoth tents are to be erected on the White Lot" and the seating capacity of the five large churches, im- mediately in the vicinity of the tents will soon be increased to the utmost by the addition of folding chairs. Thus nine simultaneous meetings with an au- dience of forty thousand will he con- ducted throughout the sessions of the convention. The program which has been nearly completed includes some of the best speakers in the country and widely known clergymen from across the seas. The list includes Postmaster General Wilson, Hon. John Wana- maker and General Neal Dow.

opposed to the republican principle of protection-that is to say, for equal rights for all as opposed to special priv ileges for a favored few This is the principle of free trade that goes to the bottom of all that is important in our politics. And if the coming convention is true in this to democratic principle, minor mistakes will count for little. Protection in its worst shape is em- bodied both in the platform and in the candidate of the republican conven- tion, Let us, on our side, join issue with them squarely, and meet their demand for more tariff by declaring the democratic principle to be no tariff at all.
