SUICIDE NEAR GRIDLEY.
A Woman Ends Her Life by Taking a
Dose of Poison,

GRIDLEY, May 12.-Miss May Sarah
Haugh, aged about 30 years, Oldest
daughter of John Haugh a wealthy
Sutter County farmer, took her own life
to-day under sad and mysterious cir
cumstances. No known reason appears
for the rash act, and the community is
mystified.
The Haugh farm is situated four
miles from Gridley, and at noon to-day
the whole family of five We're at home
A cup of liquid cobalt had been pre-
pared for poisoning flies, and without
giving warning of her intention she took
the cup, walked few feet from the
porch where her brother was seated
and deliberately drank the liquid; then,
turning the cup toward her brother,
who thought she had taken a drink of
water, said: See, Matt, ! have taken
poison
DR.. Thompson was at once summoned
from Gridley, and arrived an hour
later. To his query why she had taken
the poison she replied that she did not
know. All effort on the part of the
physician was fruitless, and the unfor-
tunate woman died at ) o'clock
Other than the fact that she had been
slightly indisposed for some days, no
reason is known for the deed. and the
sad affair is shrouded in mystery.
The Coroner has been summoned. and
arrived at the scene tonight

DOINGS IN THE ORIENT.
CONTRACT LET FOR A MINT TO BE
ERECTED AT NANkING.
An Entente Established Between
Japan and Russia With Reference
to COrean Affairs.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.-Advices
from Toxic, under date of April Goth,
We're received to-day per steamship
China, as follows:
An entente has been established be-
tween Japan and Russia with reference
to Corean affairs. The details of the
| arrangement have not yet been def
nitely settled, but it's general outlines are
| that the two Powers will henceforward
cooperate to preserve good order in
Corea. There is not to be anything in
the form of a treaty or convention, and
| it goes without saying that no idea of
an offensive and defensive alliance
is entertained. An exchange of diplo-
matte notes will represent the whole
procedure. Of course Russian and Jap
anese troops will be stationed in the
peninsula, but in what numbers or pro-
portions remains still uncertain.
The Viceroy of the Liangkiang has
contracted with the Shanghai firm of
Burichester & Co. for the erection of
mint a. Nanking, inside the city, for
silver and copper coinage. According
to accounts published in Shanghai, the
mint will be capable of turning out
100000 silver coins and LOCO 600 cop
per cash per day. The silver coins will
be dollars exactly equivalent to Mex
leans and fractional currency, and the
dollars will not have on them the state
ment that they represent III of a tael;
and this fact points to the dollar grad
ually superseding the tael as the unit
of Chinese currency. AT the present
price of silver or copper and spelter
1000 cash of the ordinary size cost
considerably more than 81, and the size
of the new cash will be accordingly re-
duced 1t is stipulated that a foreign
assayer is to be permanently employed,
SO that there may be no doubt of the
purity of the silver coinage
The members of the American Com
mission sent from Tientsin to Szechuan
last year have now returned from their
long and tedious excursion. They speak
in the highest terms of the courtesy and
kindness shown toward them by all the
Chinese officials along their route.
There is a strong probability that
Hotsui Toru, a prominent politician.
will be sent as japanese representative
to Washington to replace Mr.. Kurino,
who will be transferred to Rome.
The great English firm of Jardine.
Matheson & Co. have secured the first
contract in connection with Chinese
railway construction, 10000 casks Of
Portland and 1900 tons of steel rails
and fastenings. Japan ought to be able
to undersell Europe in the matter of
cement but probably the Chinese rail-
way contractors did not give her a
chance.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.-Secre-

interview with a representative of the
United Press this evening Mr. Morton
talked of the tariff, the possibility of

his object in coming West.

Il think the prospects are good in the

40 per cent. of the entire exports for
the last five years has come from the

think the Democratic National Conven-
ton will infuse Mr.. Cleveland's finan-
cial policy with the repeating by Con-
gress of the Sherman Act, compelling
the purchase of 100000 to $1,000, 600
a month of silver for free coinage. That
ought to be indorsed. The Govern
than it can create souls. AS an instance
of that, recall how worthless was the
Confederate paper money at the close
OF the war, whereas, when the Confed-
eracy stole the dies from the Mint at
New Orleans and from one in Georgia
and made gold coins, they were, accord
ing to law, counterfeit, still they We're
good in the circulation of the country,
and are to this day.
Il oppose the coinage Of silver on the
basis of 16 to 1, because it would put
an artificial price on silver. The DEM
ocratic party cannot straddle 1t must
either be for sound money or silver
For the same reason that 1 oppose sill
Yer on an artificial basis I oppose pro-
lection. L oppose protection because it
puts an artificial price on things I want
to buy"
Secretary Morton is accompanied on
his trip by large party, including sew
eral relatives. He will be ir the city
and vicinity about a week At 1
o'clock tomorrow afternoon he and his
friends will be taken on a cruise on the

Tomorrow the State Board of Trade
