One of the Best Known and Best Els

Tommy" Gates, as he was gen erally termed, was we'll known to al most every resident of Arizona. He was a native of Nova Scotia Early com ing to California, he was a resident of Los Angeles till 1874, when he re- moved to Tucson, there and at Yuma since holding his residence. Though genial in disposition and popular with all, he was quiet and undemonstrative, and so thoroughly self contained and self reliant that the news of his sui eide was received by his friends in Phoenix yesterday with utter incre- dulity. He will be mourned as are few men who die. He was a true friend and an honorable enemy, and better than that can be said of no man.

Democratic associates to allow his name to be used, never was candi=- date for any office of considerable emolument in the territory. He was a member of the constitutional conven- work, and was an attendant upon about all the territorial legislatures for the past sixteen years, an active member of the lobby. He it was who pushed through the famous bullion tax repeal bill and many other measures of importance have since been success fully advocated by him in itihe legis.a- tive halls.
 He had before filled the office of superintendent of the territorial pris- on, appointed to the place by Governor Zulick, and fn October of 1887 partici- pated in the contribution to the an- nals of the south west of most stirring chapter. He was seized, just within the main prison gate, by two desperate Mexican prisoners, who attempted, shielded by his body, to escape. Gates, nothing daunted, called upon Guard Hartley ito fire. At this one of the Mexicans stabbed him repeatedly and a score of conWicts made rush for the entrance. Hartley fired, shooting his man down even behind the shelter of the superintendent body, Gates, how ever, being saved only by the heroic aid of a convict named Riggs The guards ther opened fire upon the mass of escaping prisoners, killing three and wounding many, and the revolt was Quelled.
 But Gates thereafter was never the same man, and his thoughts seemed to revolve ever around the incidents of that dreadful afternoon. He has of late been moody and irritable, and there is little doubt that his wounds were the cause of condition Of mind that led to the suicidal determination.
 The prison is now in the charge of the warden, M. F. Shaw, formerly sheriff of Pima county, who, it is deemed probable, will be appointed to the vacant position. The governor at Tucson has been telegraphed for and will be in Yuma this morning.

YUMA, Ariz., March l3-(Special Dispatch to The Republican.)-A Il o'clock today the people of Yuma were paralyzed to hear that the Hon. Thomas Gates, superintendent of the territorial prison, had committed sui eide.
 At first no one would believe it and thought it was only a cruel hoax, but inquiry proved that the sad news was only too true. Soon a stream of sor- rowing friends were making their way up Prison hill to the superintendent s residence
 Justice Willis at once had coroner's jury impanelled and held an inquest at half past twelve o'clock, when the following facts came ffE.ts;
 At about 10 o'clock this forenoon, MT. Gates was sitting on the front porch of his residence talking to Dr. Cotter, the prison physician, for about twenty minutes. At the end of that time the doctor started to go into the prison. Just before entering he looked back and saw MT. Gates going into his house. That was the last seen of him alive.
 In about half nIihour the doctor came back and went into the house to see him.
 An awful sight met his view.
 MT. Gates was on his knees by the side of ,his bed, his right arm on the bed and left elbow on trunk beside the bed, his head lying on the edge of the bed and the blood flowing from a wound in his head.
 The shot, which was from A. caliber Colts pistol, entered the right side of the head, just above the ear and came out over the left ear. Death must have been instantaneous.
 MT. Gates has been dangerously sick for about three weeks, and very de- spondent Three or four days ago he asked Judge Masterson to close up his business affairs. He had made the re- mark several times the past week that he felt like taking shot at himself but no one thought it would come to that. He suffered a great deal of pain and it Is believed that the pain had affected his mind.

ONE KENTUCKY SENATOR No Possible Settlement
 at Frankfort. Stirring Scenes Tn the State
 Senate.
Governor Bradley Is Wildly De-. nounCed by HenChman Of
 Blackburn.

FRANKFORT, March 13.-The one thing that seems to be settled by to- days doings in the joint assembly is that Kentucky will have but one rep resentative in the United States sen ate from March 4, 1897, when Senator Blackburn's term expires, until at least January, 1898, when the next legisla- ture can meet and fill the vacancy.
 The Republicans adopted the tactics of breaking the quorum and thus brought from Lieutenant Governor Worthington the ruling that seventy members constitute quorum neces- sary to elect a senator. So long as this ruling stands no election can be had, except by breaking over party lines.
 At 1:30 p. m. Sheriff Armstrong re- ceived instructions from Governor Bradley to clear the senate cloak room in which were Blackburn and his friends, including Jack Chinn.
 The Blackburn leaders at once drew up a resolution of rebuke to the gov ernor, which the senate adopted Petrie asked that a committee be ap- pointed to confer with the governor
 
 sued.
 Bronston bitterly scored Governor Bradley. He said the governor had no right to interfere with the rights of the senate. "I, for one," he shouted, lam ready to protect my own rights and privileges
 Salier, Democrat, said it was the duty of the senate, out of respect to the governor, to send a committee to find out if he had issued such an or der. e
 Bronston said: Never will "a com mibtee go to the governor with my consent or with my vote" 1 Sheriff Armstrong here said he had received the orders mentioned from the governor.
 l Bronston said: 'sI would denounce the act of the governor if it were the last drop of my blood. It is an out rage, unlawful, treaeher0us act,' he screamed. Deboe announced the re lection on Governor Bradley as false and untrue. q say tito his face,'' he said, glaring at Bronston. Bronston jumped up and commenced unbutton- ing his vest. Before he could act the presiding officer succeeded in restoring order.
 Governor Bradley afterward denied giving the sheriff any such orders and Bronston begged Hhe governors par don.
 In joint assembly there were 12S members present, necessary to a choice, 65. The ballot resulted, Black burn, 50; Carlisle, IS; Buckner. L Ths Republicans again refused to vote There was no quorum. Populist Poor refused to vote

 Ai is admitted that King Hum bert at one time was face to face with possi- bility of an outbreak serious enough to develop into anything. This en- abled the socialists to obtain conces- sions which they could not otherwise have secured. To cap the peaceful climax comes the pleasant report that Emperor William of Germany, Elm peror Francis Joseph of Austria, and King Humbert will meet at Genoa in a few days and a series of brilliant fetes will be held to demonstrate to all whom it may concern that Italy in- stead of being friendless, upon the verge of bankruptcy, and encountered by tottering throne, is strong in the earnest support of Germany and will De backed by Great Britain in any emergency.
