BOTTLE OF LAUDANUM
Sends H c. Davis Across the Styx
Without Delay.

II. C. Davis, aged twenty-five years, for
three months a night clerk at the Bruins
wick hotel. employed formerly at the Hotel
HymeT. committed suicide some time Mon
day night by swallowing the contents Of
a bottle Of laudanum in a room at the An
mex hotel. 255 First avenue south. The body
was warm when discovered by the propri-
etor. who fancied that life was not yet ex-
tiuct. A physician was hastily summoned.
and on examination he pronounced the young
man dead. No particular cause for the
deed is assigned other than that he was of
a peculiarly melancholy disposition, and at
times gave evidence of mental unsoundness.
Davis left the Brunswick at the usual time
Monday morning, and went Immediately to
the Annex. where he engaged the room in
whIcl ne took his life. He then pawned
his gold watech at a Washington avenue
pawnEh0p for S. and returned to the hotel,
being last seen alive at about 10 o'clock.
He took Q great deal OF interest in hypnO-
tism. and had been often subjected to hyp
notic tests having allowed himself to be
hypnOtiZed on two occasions while on duty
On the last occasion he was .rebuked by his
employer. and as he was sensitive to a
marked degree this is supposed to have
weighed on his mind.
His father. mother and sister live at Sid
ney, Neb. The father left for Minneapolis
yesterday in response TO a telegram. The
latter formerly lived in Minneapolis, and
was one Of the prOprietors of the Victoria
hotel, NicOllet avenue and Ninth street dur
ing 1884 and 1885

over the remains Of II. G.. Davis. who com
nitted suicide Monday night. at o'clock
this morning, after which they will be taken
in charge by the young mans father.

FINAL TARIFF WORK.
Senate subcommittee VIII Soon
Submit It's Report.


WASHINGTON, April 20-The pres
ence on the floor Of the senate today,
of the members of the Republican sub
committee of the finance committee.
which is engaged in revising the tariff
bill. was made the basis of much Specu-
latiOn. The members of the committee
were clOseted for time with Senator
Vest, of the Democratic side Of the
finance committee, and afterwards held
individual conferences with other sen
ators on both sides. 1t was generally
supposed that the commit. ee had re lcl =
ed a point from which the end of its
arduous work could be discerned, and
that preparation was being made for
full meeting of the committee. This
did not prove to be exactly true. but
the visit was made for the purpose Of
smoothing the way for the final work
The committee is approaching the end
of its labOrs and various senators who
are making persistent demands for
changes were called upon with view
to arriving at an understanding.
Among the problems which are yet
unsettled are those relating to sugar,
lead ore and wool Some senators have
manifested a disposition to hold out
persistently for certain notifications Of
the schedules referring to these ami
ether articles. The members Of the
committee, while not indicating their
own position or that of the committee,
have thought il we'll to talk over these
matters with the complaining senators.
They are anxious TO bring in bill that
viii command the united support Of
the Republican party, and that will be
sure to become a law. They think they
will succeed. but beyond this they said
little, except that they expect TO report
the bill to the full committee some time
next week. The committee say that
none of the changes will be announced.
until all are given to the public.
Members of the committee told their
colleagues that many reductions have
been made from beginning to end Of
the bill, because Of Gthec belief on the
part of the committee that some of the
house rates would be pr0hibitive. They
have listened patiently TO advocates of
increases, but have granted none of
the requests. One of the members said
today that the bill would be a revenue
bill and not a prohibitiye bill The
committee practically has agreed upon
a modification of the retroactive clause
of the Dingley bill, which it is hoped
will be satisfactory to the opponents
Of the house provision. The wool men
are still pressing for radical changes.
The wool growers are not satisfied with
the rates of the Mantle amendment.
but want complete change of CLASH
hcation and still insist that new woods
shall be admitted for less than cents
pound. While some changes are prob
able in this schedule, it is quite certain
that these demands will not be entirely

SPAIN REFUSES
To Pay Indemnity to Two Impris
Oned Sailors.

WASHINGTON, April 20-Secretary
Sherman sent to the senate today, in
response to resolution, the correspon-
dence in the case of two American sail
ors, Gustave Richelieu, of Boston, and
August Bolten. who asked Of Spain
$4,000 indemnity each, on account Of
their imprisonment for three weeks at
Santiago De Cuba. The sailors claimed
that they were shipwrecked on the
coast of Cuba, February -16, 1894 No
charges were preferred against them
and after three weeks they were re-
leased, one having contracted rheuma-
tism in prison, the other yellow fever
Their attorneys presented claims to the
state department and the case is still
pending although Spain has twice re-
fused to pay indemnity. In presenting
the case TO Minister Taylor, Secretary
OIney said that the treatment of Bolten
was in violation Of treaty stipulations
which provided for the hospitable re-
ception of American citizens driven
upon Spanish territory under stress Of
weather and that the citizens of the
United States taken without arms
should be tried by the ordinary civil
tribunals.
The Spanish minister of state in Sep
tember 1896 replied to Minister Taylor
| that the appearance of the sailors in
a boat without clearance papers at
ABOUT the Jlfn6 OF the nrSt nl1DuSteT1nS
expeditions, warranted their arrest and
that the proceedings against them were
the shortest permitted by the laws;
that their statements did not agree
and were evidently false and finally
that his majesty's government finds
itself obliged to reject in an absolute
manner the demand for an indemnity
considering his case finally and ir-
revocably ended"
March 1, 1897. the Duke of Tetuan re-
fused again to open the claim, stating
that many small crafts similar to the
boat in which the two sailors were
found, had brought munitions of war
to Cuba and that their detention was
preventive and not penal. Referring
to the treaty of 1895 the duke remarks:
who will maintain that those benefits
are absolutely unconditional and that
they extend even to those who bear
hostile intentons?" and adds: The
application of the treaty did not suffer
any alienation but only a justified
/ delay, which was followed by the full
and immediate application Of the treaty
as soon as it was possible to do So

WEATHER MAN JAILED.
Interesting Question of Jurisdiction
Raised at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., April 2O.-Maj.
w. B. Stockman Of the United
States weather bureau. was sent
TO jail by Judge Ong this after
noon for contempt Of court. Stock
man had been called as a witness in a
damage case and was expected to tell
the jury whether it rained on a certain
day. He did not appear when called
and Judge Ong issued an attachment
for him. The major was on the way
TO the court house when the deputy
sheriff met him Judge Ong lectured
the major severely Stockman upheld
with dignity that he was busy with
work for the United States government
and added that he held written orders
from the department at Washington
to attend courts only when he had
completed those official duties Judge
Ong replied warmly that he did not
understand that government officials
were above the courts or that the
courts had to wait until they had
leisure. He therefore fined StOckman
IS and costs and ordered him commit
ted until paid. Stockman was exceed
ingly indignant and announced that
he would report the case to the de-
partment at Washington. Judge Ong
told him to do so by all means The
major left the court room in a rage
without paying his fine. Judge Ong
sent a deputy sheriff after him and
ordered him taken to Jail. Maj. Stock
man declares that a government Of
fetal cannot be compelled to attend
civil court when busy, and that Judge
Ong will find It out
Later Judge Ong held a consultation
with District Attorney Dodge and as
q result of the interview the judge
decided to remit Stockman's fine.
Stockman was accordingly released.

Favorable Opinion by Firm of
Boston Law, yers.

City Comptroller Wallace G. Nye yester-
day afternoon received the following telegram
from Story & Thorndyke the Boston legal
authorities bonds: Favorable opinion
on both issues mailed today"
This means that there now remain no legal
obstacles in the way Of disposing Of the
school and reservoir bonds which were voted
at the last election. In regard to the mat
ter, Mr.. Nye had the following to say last
evening:
Il see by the newspapers that there is
some talk Of an injunction TO prevent the
city council from selling the bonds on the
grounds that the act of 1893 allowing peo-
pie to vote on the issuing Of bonds is un-
constitutional. My opinion is that, if such
action is taken, the only result will be to
delay the work. have a good deal Of faith
in the Boston firm Of lawyers, and I am sure
that they have considered every aspect of the
legal question before rendering a favorable
opinion as TO the legality of the bonds.'

IVORY TURNED DOWN.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The Unit
ed States government will not support
the demand for indemnity, upon the
British government, of Edward Ivory.
who was for some time in prison in
London under suspicion of being con-
cerned in a dynamite plot, and recently
filed with the state department a de-
mand for an indemnity of about $780,
600. The proceedings to which Ivory
was subjected, it has been found, were
regular in every respect, and similar
in every point to those that would be
imposed in the case of any foreigner
or native in the United States. so there
is no substantial reason for the inter-
ference of the United States govern
ment.

Of the bicycle race records went glimmering
last night. The former record held by Miss

Of 81 miles for 4 hours riding on a 14-lap
track, was broken last night by Claw, Farms

ing the same number of hours being SO miles
and laps providing the track at the expos1-
ton building measures exactly ii laps TO the
mile 1t is thought that it is little over 100
feet short of the mile, which will make but
little difference, however, in the general re-
suit.
The record breaking pace set by the three
leaders gave Babe Bartlett, the 15-year-old
girl from Chicago, an opportunity TO show
what she could do. When she started asst
night she was u laps behind Kalgren. When
the finish came at 1925 she led the Mime
apolis girl by miles and laps. This was
all Gear gain by downright hard work, with
the exception of about laps Kalgren lost by
leaving the track. In addition to this, Babe
set the pace for the leaders for several laps
during the evening and proved herself to
be a wonder in the cycling Ene She gained
friends by the score, and when the finish
comes on Saturday night the little miss from

direction of rehabilitation Of an old as
