Confirmed by Later Reports From
Madeira Island.
NO WARNING OF HIS INTENTION.

Was Walking on Deck, Arm In Arm
With Passenger, When Ho Sud-
denly Broke Away and Leaped Over
board-London Stocks Not Affected.
London, June 16.--The officials of the
Union Steamship company, to which
the steamer Scot belongs, confirm the
announcement that Barney Barnato,
the South African Diamond King"
committed suicide by jumping over
board while that vessel was on her way
from Cape Town, which port she left
on June for Southampton by way of
Funthal.
Barnato, who had been in ill health
for some time, seemed to improve after
leaving Cape Town, but he was never
left alone, and some one was contin-
ually detailed to watch him. Monday,
after lunch, he seemed to be in good
spirits, and was walking up and down
the deck, leaning on the arm of pas
senger. Suddenly Barnato asked his
companion to tell him the time, but
before he received a reply he wrenched
his arm away and jumped overheard.
The fourth officer jumped overheard
after him Immediately, but he failed
to save the life of the South African
speculator, as heavy seas were run
ming and the Scot was steaming at the
rate Of II knots an hour.
AS soon as possible the steamer was
stopped, lifeboat was lowered and
pulled to the spot where the two men
were last seen. The fourth officer was
rescued in an exhausted condition, and
later the body of Barnato was re-
covered. floating head downward. His
remains have been embalmed, and
will be brought to England on board
the Scot. Mrs. Barnato and her chill
dren were also on board the Scot.
Although the Stock Exchange was
excited by The news of Barnato's death,
there was no panic. The Barnato com
panies were not allowed to fall much
before they found buyers. The opinion
is expressed that the death of the great
South African speculator cannot have
much effect upon the market, as Bar
nato has paid little direct attention TO
business recently.
