ANOTHER SUICIDE.
William Blair Aged and Despon-
dent Takes His Life.

About II O'Clock last night H.
Blanchard, living near the soap works,
Iwilei, heard the report of a gun in
close proximity to his house, and a
moment later heard something strike
the side of his house. Then the odor
of gunpowder pervaded the atmosphere
and he arose from bed to investigate.
Two rooms away from him was a
cottage, occupied by William Blair, an
aged Virginian, whom he had taken in
out of charity, as he was without
friends or money Entering the room.
Blanchard found the old man had
blown off the left side of his face with
charge of shot from a double-bar-
relied muzzle-loading shotgun.
Blair had made careful preparations
for the act as was evidenced by the
powder, shot and caps in packages
about the room. To make sure that
there would be no doubt about the re-
suit, Blair withdrew the stocking from
one foot, fastened a string to the trig
ger, and left a loop which his toe would
pass through. After these details were
attended to he cut the artery in his
left arm five times with a razor.
Whether the man intended to die by
DleeuluS TO uSdLH, anu, uuuIHS the OPP
Grafton too slow, will never be known.
The wounds on his arm were fresh,
and it is possible the shooting was an
after thought.
When Mr.. Blanchard found the sui
eide he came in and notified the Police
Department, and Captain Parker went
out to the place, and decided, in view
of the fact that Mrs. Blanchard is in
delicate health, to remove the body to
the station house.
Blair has lived here for more than
so years. Several times he visited the
South Seas on trading vessels. He had
no regular employment, working at
whatever he could get to do. Some
time ago he started a chicken ranch
at Iwelei, but met with failure through
robbery of his hen rooSts. Then he
was taken i'll and went to the hospital,
being discharged from there four
months ago. Being without money,
Mr.. Blanchard gave him a room and
meals. About a year ago he was ar
rested for shooting at some natives in
the vicinity of his home. From his re-
marks at the time he was not cOnsid-

years ago. but is believed to be ma
tive of Virginia. He had not heard

members, had the right to investigate
any improper conduct of Senators,
and could compel witness to give tes-
timony. The sentence of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia to
80 days in Jail and to 500 fine was
affirmed, and Chapman's application
for writs of certiorari and habeas cor
pus was denied
The Chief Justice said that the case
was entirely different from the Kill
bourne case. THE subject matter as
effecting the situation he said, lis

ate. The questions are not intrusions

do not seek to ascertain in any facts
as to the conduct, methods. extent or

only whether that firm confessedly

and as to the particular stock named
was it employed by any Senator TO
buy or sell for him any of the stock
whose market price might be affected
by the Senate's action.

as amounting to an unreasonable

PARIS, April 16.-The Dingley tar
if bill has aroused considerable an
tagonism in French mercantile circles,
where it is pointed out that the meas
ure may lead to policy disastrous in
it's effects on certain French indus
tries. Some representations of this
nature have already been made to the
French Government. The Associated
Press sent to M Hanotaux, the French
Foreign Minister, a number of ques-
tons bearing on the tariff situation
and the relations of the two Republics.
The French Foreign Office returned
the following written reply:
''The Federal Government at Wash
ington will succeed, without any
doubt, in drawing closer the bonds
which unite France and the United
States by abstaining from an over
taxing of imported French goods,
such as sparkling and still wines,
brandies, silks, woolens, gloves, works
of art, etc. To shut out of the United
States. by quasi-prohibitive tariffs, the

cat the present time there are no
differences between the two great Re
publics. They are bound together by
too many memories and traditions for
a verbal spirit of hostility to grow be-
tween them. The situation of small
nh, rrirr vic 10
negotiations between the two coun-
tries is however, sometimes rendered
difficult by the argumentative spirit of
the American statesmen.
although France has no grounds
for complaining of the diplomatic and
consular representations of the United
States, there is, nevertheless, reason
for stating that she has been surprised
with the attitude of certain American
Consuls. One of them admitted to ex-
ercise his functions in one of the great
ports of France seems quite recently
to have undertaken the task of dispar-
aging the product of French vine
yards. Incorrect statements, denied
after the inquiry by competent author
tiles. have been reproduced in official
reports by the agent in question and
made public in administrative docu-
ments.
Another agent, who had also exer-
cised the functions of Consul in one of
the great towns of France, spoke of
French wines in the course of
speech delivered in the United States
in the most unfavorable terms-the
worst terms Both these agents repre-
scented French wines as watered, adul-
terated, mixed with plaster of Paris
and composed of all sorts of noxious
ingredients.
Ceases such as these denote the de-
plorable tendency and want of pru-
dence of certain American agents.
In answer to a question as to what
cooperation France would give to
bring about an international bimetal-
lie conference, M. HanOtaux said:
''The cooperation which France could
give the United States in the assem-
bling of a monetary conference would
naturally depend upon the state of
trade between the two countries. As
regards bimetallism, France seems
uncertain and much divided"

pense of maintenance of the depart
| ment will be assumed by them.
You will understand that the plant
ers are not going TO confine themselves
TO white men for laborers. That would
be too radical a change; it must be
done by degrees, and while the expert
ment is being tried the public must
support the planters. They are the
ones to suffer if the attempt is a fail
ure, and they are the ones who stand
to make a loss. If the plantations
which employ white labor as an exper-
iment. if the managers are willing to
risk their capital to show the United
States that they are willing to give
Americans a chance to make a living
here, then surely those managers are
the ones to be supported.
81 feel that this is the last chance
that will be offered. If if fails. nego-
tiations will never be opened again"
The conditions under which white
men could be engaged to work on the
plantations was a matter for grave
consideration by the plantation men,
as we'll as by Mr.. Fitzgerald. The ques-
ton of wages was freely discussed, and
then the cooperative plan was sug-
gested. w. J. Lowrey, manager of Eva
plantation, has been an advocate of
cooperation for some time. and after
carefully investigating the results. Mr..
Fitzgerald decided that it was the best.
''To give a man a piece of land and
let him work out his own salvation is
much better than to ask him to come
here for wages, and pit his sweat
against that of an Asiatic. He will be
given every possible advantage, and if
the class of laborers I send here do
not prove satisfactory, then there is
no use thinking any more about it
Regarding the appropriation men
toned by me the other night, I wish to
say that. Mr.. Smith explained to me
this morning that it was for the pur-
pose of assisting the families of white
laborers. The appropriation not being
intended to pay the passage of men
coming here, could not well be used for
that purpose. Mr.. Smith was afraid to
break in upon it, and | think he is
quite right
