DECISION IN BLYTHE CASE.
Under 1t Mrs. HinckIey VIII Probn-
bly, Lose the Property.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-United
States Circuit Judge w. w: Morrow rem
dered a decision in the famous Blythe
case this afternoon. which was In the
nature of a surprise. He ordered a de-
cree entered in favor Of the English
Rlvthes. as prayed for in their cross
complaint by default, and in his findings
made several rulings which are In direct
conflict with those Of the State courts.
Among other things. II Is held that
Florence Blythe was born an illesltinate
child in 1873, when her progenitors were
subjects of Great Britain. 1t is further
decreed that neither Florence Blythe
Hinckley. John w. Blythe, nor Henry
r Blythe have any legal claim to the
nroperty. and that their claims are
fraudulent. The next of kin to the late
Thomas II. Blythe are declared TO be as
follows: Alexander and William Jones'
lanes Maudsley, Elizabeth jacques,
pohert Dover. Hannah Monk, Jane Page,
James Blythe, Elizabeth b. Page, ana
George Page.
Under this ruling. it is considered very
nrobable that Mrs. Florence Blythe
Hinckley will lose the property which she
has fought for so hard and bitterly du-
ring the past ten years.

FOSTER AND THE SEALS.
sntisfactOry-Anne
ton of Hawaii.

LONDON. July 6.-John w. Foster, the
United States Seal Commissioner, has ar
rived here from ST. Petersburg, and has
paid a visit to United States Ambassador
Hay. Messrs. Foster and Hay will CO.
operate in pressing the Bering sealing
question upon the British Government. To
a representative of the Associated Press
Mr. Foster said the details of the ar
rangements arrived at with Russia could
not be revealed at present. but when dis
closed they would be entirely satisfactory.
Mr.. Foster had no doubt that Japan was
equally ready TO cooperate with the
United States in the protection of seals.
Speaking of Hawaii. Mr.. Foster said:
1--WE learned the sentiments of Russia
and France during our visit 10 ST. Peters
burg and Paris. They won't object to
annexation, and regard IL as natural and
inevitable. / do not believe Great Britain
will object The European governments
may not like it, but they are reconciled
TO it. The annexation of Hawaii would
not presage the annexation of Cuba. The
cases of the two islands are entirely dis
similar. Hawaii is settled in large part
by Americans, and the United States has
obligations TO fulfil there, whereas Cuba
is a Colony of a foreign government.

ED. ovERLEy ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
lie Takes Laudnnum in Limeade,
and Is in n Dangerous Way.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, July 6.-(Spe-
cial)-Edward Overley a comedian, who
was recently employed at Barton's Thea
tire. and whose home is said to be in
Richmond, attempted suicide this evening
under somewhat peculiar circumstances,
and IT is believed that he will die, despite
the fact that for the past five hours two
physicians have been constantly working
over him.
At about 6 o'clock Overley, whose stage
name is Ed. Carr walked into the War
wick Pharmacy. and after purchasing
10 cents worth of laudanum, asked for a
limeade. Hardly had he been served.
when he emptied the contents of the small
phial into the cooling beverage on the
counter before him, and proceeded to
drink the concoction. He then left the
store, visiting several saloons. in one Of
which he was found half an hour later
suffering great pain. He was taken TO
the police station, and when the physi-
ciars arrived he was insensible.
Before lapsing into insensbility, how
ever, he entered a cobbler's shop and,
asking for a piece of paper, wrote letter
to his mother, which he addressed to
215 north Twenty eighth street, Rich
mond, but gave no name. This letter up
braided his mother for the harsh usage
the writer had received at her hands, and
notified her of his rash deed.
Overley Is well known in Richmond,
where he lived until recently with his
parents at the address given above. He
left the city early last week He be-
came involved in some domestic difficulty,
and a warrant was sworn out for him at
the First Police Station, but he could
not be found. His last professional en-
gagement in this city was with Professor
Crew, the aeronaut. He had previously
played al a variety theatre here.
