M'GIFFEN 4 SUICIDE.
Tie Commanded the Chen Yuen at
the Battle of YaIu.

New York, Feb. l1.-Capt Philo H.
McGiffen. former officer Of the Chinese
navy, who was in command of the battle
ship Chen Yuen at the battle Of Yalu,
committed suicide this morning at 2
o'clock, in the post graduate hospital, by
shooting himself through the head He
was "a years old.
Capt. McGihn had been at the hospital
about month, under treatment for ner-
VOus DrOstration. He had however, for
some days past been considered GONZALES
cent, and 1t had been arranged to place
him in some quiet retreat in the country
until he should regain his normal health.
The captain had improved mentally as well
as physically, and 1t was deemed needless
to keep a close watch upon him. He was
kept confined to his room most Of the
time, however. He retired at 10 O'Clock
last night. His attendant, male nurse
named Barrett, marked nothing unusual
an his patients demeanof.
AT o'clock this morning Barrett was
startled by pistol shot. He hastened
to Can't McGriffin's apartment and found
his patient sitting bolstered up In bed, and
blood streaming from a bullet hole in the
right side Of the head, about two inches
above the ear. A large navy revolver lay
on the floor beside the bed and another on
the table. The mystery is how did the
captain gain possession of the pistols. lie
had been living in a boarding house for
several months, and had there become
violently insane. and had been removed
to the hospital. lie was only "a years
old The terrific strain to which he was
subjected during the fight of the Yula
was attributed as the cause or his mental
breakdown. In that battle both OF mis-
ear drums were ruptured, his eyes per-
manently affected, and his head and body
filed with splinters of woodwork ana
steel
He left a note on the table without date
or address, as follows: Memo: Look
alive that the bed is not set on fire by my
shot. My compliments and adieus to all.

Charleston S. c., Feb, 1.-THE flood
gates of heaven were opened up on Ad-
miral Bunce's fleet last night, and since
early this morning the crews of all the
warships have been making gallant, but
only partially successful, attempts to eX-
ercise their batteries in the down-pour
of rain. The storm is fortunately accom-
panied by comparatively little wind, but
the rain comes down in sheets flooding
every unprotected spot on shlpboard. The
guns have been kept going heavily, how
ever.
The maneuvers last night, consisting
in search light work until $50 O'clock
were coupled with considerable gun prac-

Pittsburg, Feb. 1.-THE situation in the

representatives in Chicago to sell steel
rails at S17, Chicago, of $l4.25 in Pitts

have been made between the two Zig con-
Germs operating west of the mountains TO

it could obtain. President Gates of the

roads of the west quoting rails al SIS. The
Carnegie company at once issued orders
