Daughter Leaps From "A window.

Washington. Feb. 2-The suicidal mania,
which has caused a number OF attempts
at self-destruction. to this city for the
past several weeks may result In the loss
of the lives of Walter Taylor, a clerk In
the treasury department, and his pretty
2O-year-old daughter, Lucy. Miss Taylor
has been in III health for some time past
and last night her illness assumed a sui
cldal form. She was with difficulty per-
suaded TO retire TO her room, and about
o'clock this morning, after a violent
struggle with her parents, who tried to
hold her, she plunged through the window
of her home and fell into snow bank
in the front yard. She then ran, terribly
cut and bruised. through the streets, and,
after half an hours search, was found in
a snow bank almost nude by a policeman.
She was taken home and IL was then
found that during her absence her father
had hanged himself by a rope attached
to boiler of stove. He was cut down
and removed to a hospital unconscious.
It is feared that both father and daugh-
ter will die.

NEW POLITICAL CLUB HOUSE.
Union League Building at baltimore
Formally Opened.

Baltimore, Feb. 2.-The Union League
officials tonight formally opened what is
probably the most commodious club house
of any political organization in the coun-
try
The opening ceremonies included sew
eral addresses, the principal among them
being that Of Senator John M. Thurston,
of Nebraska.
Senator Thurston introduced his speech
with complimentary references to the Re
publican victories in Maryland, and to
the recent election of Judge McComas.
He admitted the present financial situa-
tion to be full of danger to the Republi-
can party, and said; 1--WE shall not be
stampeded nor frightened If history re-
peats itself at the next congressional cleo
ton and returns a Congress in opposition

Respecting the financial question Sena-
tor Thurston said: 1--WE have a congress
sioral situation at 'Nef lilgt9n which has
caused grave apprehension TO the business
interests of the country but which, in
my judgment is not to be deplored. 1t
is now evident to every citizen,
as IL was evident TO many of us on the
first day of the Fifty-ffth Congress, that
no financial legislation of any kind can
pass the two Houses as at present con-
stituted. 1t is therefore, plain that the
people are to be permitted to do business
for the next two years without legislation
on the financial affairs.
For my part i am glad the Congress
of the United States is unable to legislate
on the financial question. ! am in favor
of saving the country from the threatened
financial legislation, and in my Judgment
the man who at the present time and
under existing conditions seeks to force
gold resolutions through the House of
Representatives is no less politically I'M
wise than the man who forces a silver res
oiution through the Senate. Give the
business of the country a chance. Give
this country four years without financial
have outgrown the money question alto

CRUISE OF THE BROOKLYN.
The Big Warship to Go as Far as Rio.
Montgomery Going to Cuba,

Washington, Feb. 2.-The details for the
cruise of the Brooklyn, so far as arranged
at the navy department, provide for visits
by the ship to the following ports in the
West Indies and to the Caribbean sea in
the order named: st. Thomas. Santa
Cruz, Santa Lucia, Taguivra, Porto Ca
bello, Curacao, Saxanilla and Colon. At
this point on the Isthmus of Panama. the
snip VIII receive orders for her further
guidance.
Because of her heavy draft of water. 1t
is not probable that the Brooklyn will be
ordered up the east coast of the isthmus
and Central America, which have no deep
water ports, but rather that she will cruise
eastward again from Colon down as far
on the coast of South America as Rio
where she may be ultimately attached for
time to the South Atlantic station.
The gunboat Nashville arrived at Key
West to-day from Port Royal, S. C., so
that the North Atlantic squadron will
make good the numerical loss that it
would have sustained by the failure of
the Brooklyn to join it, as originally in
tened.
The Montgomery will sail tomorrow
from Key West for Matanzas, Cuba, as
the first port of call in Cuba.
1t is said at the navy department that
the Montgomery, after leaving Santiago
will stop at some other ports on the coast
of Cuba, and then proceed southward to
the coast of South America, perhaps ex-
tending the cruise as far south as Rio de
Janeiro, where she may join the South At
lantic squadron.
Other cruisers and gunboats probably
will follow the course of the Montgomery
from time to time, so that the United
States flag will be seen oftener in the fu-
ture in the waters south of us than it has
been for many years past. For this pur-
pose the small gunboats recently added to
the navy, originally for service in Chinese
waters, are said to be admirably adapted,
and they will be used freely
