HE KILLED ONLY HIMSELF.
But Steven Takatsh of Ansonia Attempted
 to Murder His Wife.

Ansonia, Conn, Aug. S1.-Steven Ia katsh, aged thirty-two, attempted to
 murder his wife tonight by shooting her and after he had supposedly accom-
 plished his purpose sent a bullet through his own head and died soon af- rewards. The affair was the result of
 marital troubles. Takatsh, who was a Slovenian, was the brother of Martin Takatsh, a
 wealthy saloon keeper, who is known as the King of Jersey street" a section
 of the city wholly occupied by foreign CTS.
 While Takatsh was absent from his home recently one of his boarders at tempted to assault Mrs Takatsh, and she was obliged to summon the police. The man was out under bonds awaiting trial, but notwithstanding that the evil dence was all in favor of the woman, and her testimony was corroborated by the police, when Takatsh returned and learned of the affair an estrange-
 ment resulted. Takatsh sold all the household effects and went to live with his brother and Mrs. Takatsh removed to Derby
 To-day Mrs Takatsh was on visit to the home of Joseph Finer in West
 Ansonia when Takatsh unexpectedly
 put in an appearance He accused her
 of infidelity and threatened to shoot her. The woman in alarm hastinly took up one of the Finer children to protect herself and as she was fleeing from the room her husband fired. The | shot, however, did not hit Mrs. Takatsh Takatsh then followed her into the | yard where he overlook his wife and grabbing her by the hand attempted to | fire at her head.
 The woman broke away in time to put up her hand and received the bullet
 in the wrist. She at once tainted from 1 the excitement, and Takatsh suppos- 1 ing he had killed her, at once turned | the revolver upon himself with deadly effect
 Officer John B. Carey, who chanced to | be in the vicinity, hastened when he | heard the shots and at once placed
 Takatsh into passing wagon and took him to Dr. Parmelees office, but he died on the way. Mrs Takatsh soon rallied and the bullet was extracted with little difficulty. Apart from the shock to her nervous system her inju- | ries will be light. Medical Examiner | W. H. Conklin viewed the remains of the suicide and gave orders for their removal.
 There was no evidence of intoxication about Takatsh and the affair was who'll | ly the outcome of jealousy.

Il ROMANCE DISTILLED.
Some Facts Concerning Senorita Evange.
 lima Cosio CisnerOs

Washington, Aug. 31.-Consul Gen eral Lees investigation into the cir cumstances attending the arrest of the young Cuban girl, Evangelina Cosio Cisneros, have resulted in sweeping away a great deal of the romance that attached to her case. He cabled the state department to-day from Havana that the girl is not the niece of the Marquise Santa Lucia, as has been publicly proclaimed, but is the daugh- ter of a poor and respected Cuban named Augusein Cosio. Her mother S name being Cisneros was added to her own, according to the Spanish custom, making her full name Evangelina Cosio Cisneros. Moreover, General Lee re- ports that this girl is not an only daughter, nor has she been raised in wealth and luxury, but is one of five or six children.

New York, Aug. 31.-Large amounts of money are being shipped south daily to help move the crops. It is estimated that fully s5,0O0,000 of "crop money has been shipped from this city within the past fortnight. It is interesting in this connection to add that southern credits are in better shape just now than they have been in several years. and the general outlook in that section and the southwest as viewed from here is bright.

EVERY RACE WAS 4 RATTLE.
Spirited and Exciting Finishes at Charter
 Oak Meeting.


 Hartford, Conn.,. Aug. S1.-Every race at Charter Oak park to-day was a bat tle although two of them were won in straight heats. Even in those races the finishes were close and the leaders had trouble shaking the other horses off their heels. Alcidalia, owned by Waldo T. Pierce of Boston, furnished the surprise of the day by winning the PIP trot in straight heats with such horses as Grace Hastings, Fred Kohl, Quechy, and Fred E, in the field. Grace Hastings was picked out to win the race, but she was not in the best of moods. In the third heat, however af- ter starting far behind the others, she closed up the gap and gave the winner a hot chase to the wire.
 Forest Herr also behaved rather bad ly except in the first and fourth heats, and thus yielded the pacing race to Passing Belle, who evidently has con- siderable speed.
 The three-year-olds furnished three spirited finishes, but there was an inn pression that American Belle, the win her, had few links of speed, which she was not compelled to show. Thorne and Timbrel set the pace for her and gave her three lively brushes coming home. The summaries:

at tbs close of business December
26, 1896.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-04-13

In 1895 the importations from the
United States, both Pacific and Allan
tic ports, amounted in value to 81 576-
944.3S, of which S3,01S. 755.42 represent
ed values of goods entering under the
treaty regulations. Of the total i'm
ported values for 1895 the United States
enjoyed 1904 per cent. the balance be-
ing divided among other countries.
During 1896, out of total value of
81. 164, SCI 40 for imports, 1908 per cent
of the whole came from our Pacific
Coast ports, and 3.19 per cent from the
Atlantic ports of the United States,
making 1927 per cent of entire trade
enjoyed by the manufacturers and pro-
ducers of the United States.
The carrying trade of the Hawaiian
Republic for 1896, both imports and ex-
ports. was conducted by American yes
sells. or at least 1888 per cent OF the
whole. In addition to this, 5.26 per cent
of the trade was enjoyed by vessels
that at least 10-16ths of which. are
owned by American citizens.
Again it may be stated that the car
riage of sugar from Hawaii to Atlantic
ports of the United States during the
season of 1896 was effected mainly by
American built and owned ships, 1880
tons out of a total of 81 III was ship
upon three vessels-two British and
one Hawaiian-owned.
As a matter of fact. the Hawaiian
trade with the United States is the
only sailing route on the face of the
globe monopoliZed in any measure by
the American flag, and this is simply
due TO the circumstance that American
citizens own the greatest bulk of the
property in Hawaii and control its in
tereStS.
Our trade with the Hawaiian Repub
lie increased over million dollars dur
ing 1896, beyond the values in 1895.
and it bids fair to show a yearly aug
mentation provided no adverse legis-
lation intervenes to prevent its growth.
In return for the sugar. rice. coffee
and other products of the Hawaiian
group. the consumers of the Islands
have bought the lumber from our for
ests, the coal from our mines. hay,
flour and grain from our farmers and
mill men. butter and cheese from our
dairies. fruits from our orchards and
cannerieS. wines from our vineyards.
and winemakers, textile and fictile
products of our looms and factories,
and a multitude of our varied manu-
facturers. Even the refined sugar
used upon the tables of families on the
Islands is returned from the Pacific
Coast.
Nothing is produced on the Islands
for home consumption except a few
fruits and vegetables. no factories or
manufactures exist. except for the max
ing OF raw sugars or the hulling of
rice. but everything needed on the ISL
ands comes in the main from the Unit
ed States.
The Hawaiian Islands are not and
can never be competitors in CONNER
cial sense with the United States, until
the day arrives when the Pacific Coast
produces sufficient beet sugar TO supply
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-04-13

their Hawaiian offspring, Germans and
Hawaiians OF foreign parentage
In addition to these sugar invest
ments. a sum of s6,15O,7O6 is invested
in various industrial enterprises. cleo
trio light and telephone companies.
railroads, incorporated trading firms
and other financial institutions.
Citizens of the United States and
their descendants own of this sum So
672, 041. Foreigners and natives own
s2.47S,O41. Within the past four years
investments by American citizens and
their descendants amount in the ag-
gregate to several millions, sums ex-
pended in coffee plantations, improve
ments 10 the sugar making plants and
various other enterprises.
With such a notable exposition, how
can contention be maintained that Am
eTican interests do not predominant?
And It is owing to that predominance
that "Americanism" today prevails N
Hawaii in it's best form.
The statement that the United States
has been the loser by the operations of
the reciprocity treaty is somewhat con
trary TO figures and facts, as the fol-
lowing resume will show:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-04-13

the demands Of the entire United
States home consumption.
The fruits sent to the Pacific Coast
in no wise compete with any products
of the United States, on the contrary,
the bananas and pineapples that now
arrive enables consumers to purchase
the same at lower rates than those ask
ed for similar products of Mexico or
Central America.
Then too, the increased production
of coffee, expected within the next few
years, will enable American consumers
TO obtain that valued article of con-
sumption, at lower rates than either
Central American or other countries.
can supply the demand.
The profits derived from this new
branch of industry Will revert into the
pockets of American investors, and
thus another source of gain will be
derived from the Hawaiian Islands.
The point at issue is, will the pro-
ducers and manufacturers, the export
ers and ship owners, the bankers and
insurance men, together with the thou
sands of laborers, farmers and mechan
les of the United States not object to
the abrogation of treaty that has en-
