Washington, June 16.-The Hawaiian
annexation treaty will not go so smooth

If President Mckinley persists in his
present intention and sends in the treaty
with the expectation Of ratification be-
fore adjournment of the special session,
he is destined either TO disappointment

mai ] knew Without opening 1t that It
contained news of his death. He was
such a brainy, such an unusual man,
and he acted so strangely at times, L
thought he would kill himself some
day"
Her sister, she said, had written much
about her husbands end. Miss Hol-
brook showed me eight closely written
pages. She was reluctant to give any
details of the suicide. She told me, how
ever, that her sister and her three chill
dren were with Barnato on the Scot
when he threw himself into the water.
THE Scot was Banratos favorite
ship" said Miss Holbrook. "and from
1t he went to his death. 1t was an aw-
full shock 10 my sister.
"Oh! What sad letter she writes,
what a ssterly letter. But she knew
as we'll as / that 1t would come some
day. He was such a remarkable man.
He was an illiterate man, but see how
he accumulated wealth. He was Hit
crate, but brainy. The parts he took
on the stage were drummed into him,
but he made a success Of 1t. He was
poor when he married my sister against
our parents wishes. and their domestic
life had not been happy. My sister
writes that perhaps his end is for the
best, and think so, too. But then, you
know. Barnato and / were not friends.
We were never friendly"
Miss Holbrook refused to take the ex-
act date on which Barnato committed
suicide but intimated that 1t was some
time before June 2. She was surprised
that the news did not reach her by cable
sooner, since she received a letter from
her sister Monday.
She told me that the ages OF Bar
nato's three children were years, 2h
and l year. She also said that Barnato
had left his entire fortune to his wife
and children. with the exception of a
few comparatively small bequests to
poor relatives. The fortune, according
to Miss Holbrook, amounts to 5000, 900.

Calcutta, June 16.-Telegrams with

Immigrant Landing station on Ellis ISL
and Destroyed.

Immigrant Landing station on Ellis ISL
and Destroyed.
New York, June 16.-Fire at an early
hour Tuesday morning destroyed the
immigrant landing station that covered
almost all Of Ellis island. causing
property loss Of about $7S0,O00 TO the
United States government. All Of the
government records and the baggage of
the immigrants were burned. Two hun
dred and fifty immigrants were rescued
from the burning structures and brought
safely to this city. Doctors, nurses and
attendants helped in the work of rescue.
Meantime some of the immigrants who
had escaped from the main building had
become anxious about their baggage,
and despite the fact that the vast build
ing was fast being encompassed by the
flames rushed back to save It.
In all the known tongues they insist
ed that their all was contained in the
boxes and bundles which they had
brought over Captain Burke and his
men had to fairly fight them back on
the boat. They wept and wrung their
hands when they found it was impos
sible to save their property. At 2
o'clock the flames were under control.
The big station, the hospital. the laun-
dry, restaurant doctors houses, and a
number Of small outbuildings were in
ashes. The engine house was the only
building of importance on the island
which escaped destruction.

though a beat was at once launched in

Had Been Sick Long Time.
1t has been known in England that
Barnato had been ailing for long time.
He had only recently recovered from a
long and severe Illness in South Africa,
and the trip to England was advised by
his physicians who believed that a
change Of air and climate would benefit
the famous mine promoter and specula-
tor. Barnato boarded the steamship
Scot at Cape Town on the 2d of June.
Nothing unusual was noticed in his de-
meanor, save that at times he suffered
from fits of depression. But the other
passengers attributed these attacks TO
his i'll state of health. All apparently
went well until the ship was nearing
the equator when the oppressive heat
had more serious effects on Barnato.
Then one day he dropped into the sea,
and a meteoric career was ingloriously
ended. 1t was supposed that Barnato
was the richest man in the world. His
wealth at one time was estimated at
a. lOO,OOO,UOO, out tnere were many WHO
doubted that all his stocks and proper
ties possessed this intrinic value.
Affected by the Transvaal Raid.
However, that may be, the Transvaal
raid made a huge hole in his estate.
The depression that 1t exerted on the
stock market, and the expense to which
II put Barnato affected both his pocket
and his health and the result was an at
tack of sickness which at the time
threatened his life. and finally ended
In suicide. The news from Funchal Of
the death of Barnato came too late to
procure opinions from financiers ana
spectators as to the result on the stock
market While, owing to the jubilee
preparations, transactions are stagnant,
still Kaffir shares are the most active
on the list. The expectation Is that the
London stock exchange will witness one
Of the most exciting days in its history.
The Daily Telegraph, in announcing
the death of Barney Barnato while
passenger on the steamer Scot, from
Cape Town, says on the authority of
news agency that he fell overheard.

then his firm had not received confirma-
ton Of the news. Throgmorton street
was filled with excited crowds of brok-
