of the richeess OF the newly disco

gaining consciousness.
Mr. Buckley has been i'll for the past
three or four day, with cold. He retired
frcm the firm Of Durham Buckley & Co.
on January 1.
Mr.. Buckley, who is ffty-f1ve years old,
IS reputed to be- millionaire. His hunt
ing stable is one of the finest on Long
Island.
There does not seem to be any doubt
that Mr.. Buckley committed suicide on
account of business troubles. 1t is alleged
that on January he had a serious misun-

ness partner, wnich resulted it is said,
in Mr. Buckley being forced out of the

family refuse to discuss the affair.
Mr. Buckley an expensive liver. 1t
Is said that Mr.. Buckley on returning to
his home, or January 2, was very despon-
dent.
Mr.. Durham said today that he believed
the dependency from which Mr. Buckley
had been suffering WAS brought about 20
great extent by"Mr. Buckley's retire
ment from active business Mr.. Buckley s
partnership in the concern was limited to
period of years, and this term expired
on December 81 last,
When asked if he had had any Disagree
ment with Mr.. Buckley, Mr.. Durham said
that nothing of the kind had occurred.
It was known some months before the
end of the year that Mr.. Buckley would

of routine business, Mr.. Allen of Nebraska
called up the bill providing for the hold
ing of a congress of the representatives of
different Indian tribes of the United States
at Omaha in 1898 and appropriating 49,
600 therefor. The idea of the congress is
to show the past and present condition of
the Indian tribes of the country at the
Omaha exposition. and to show what ad-
vancement they have made in education
and civilization. After some minor amend
ments to the bill were made, it was passed.
bill appropriating $175.OOO for a public
building at Fergus Falls, Mimi. was passed.
The consideration Of bill to protect the
name and insignia of the Red Cross brought
out some interesting facts. Mr.. Hale (Me.)
thought that the measure was rather sharp
In its restrictions.
Mr.. Gray Oel). who reported the bill,
said that Miss Clara Barton several years
ago asked that the insignia Of the Red
Cross Society be protected from those who
would use 1t for commercial or perhaps
fraudulent purposes. Under treaty entered
into by a majority of the civilized nations
Of the world the sign of the Red Cross is
known as an insignia of hospital corps or

January ct is alleged that Rafael Lam

quasi-official mission. Lancis is Cuban,
who speaks English. He was one of the
agents sent out by Congosto several weeks
ago to persuade insurgents to present
themselves. His efforts in Santa Clara
province We're fruitlesS, but he said if he
could go with authority of United States
government, he could accomplish some
thing.
Lancis exhibits a pass alleged to have
been given him by Gomez to pass through
the insurgent lines. The insurgents say
the pass is a forgery. He Is now in Ha-
Vana awaiting the sanction of the State
Department. While it is known that Lam
els Is authorized to represent Spanish
authorities, nothing is known at the United
States consulate here of his having official
standing as representative of the United
States. PEPPER
Judge Day says that he does not know
Lancis, but he does know that he has no
connection with the State Department
This would indicate that he does not rep

BERLIN, January 6.-The North German

THE development Of affairs in east Asia

cal antagonism now appears an economic

why one state should exclusively under
take the Chinese loan. Prudent considera-
tions suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of an inter-
national arrangement"

quire all officials to cooperate In their en-

Hamburg said
TT may be confidently stated that the
attempt to apply civil service rules to
river and harbor operations has resulted
in absolute failure and been productive of
no good whatever to that branch of the
service. The central and local boards in
no way facilitate the transaction of pub

to obtain through them men that will give
satisfaction 70 the officer in charge, who
is to be responsible for their honesty and
the work they are to do
In conclusion. Maj Hamburg says: ut
cannot be shown that anything has been
added to the convenience, economy or
efficiency of the works conducted by the
engineer officer by placing them under
civil service rules. On the contrary, it Is
apparent that these works cannot be con-
Quoted at all under these rules as at first
promulgated and applied to them, and
that under the enforced notifications they
are menaced with all the evil influences of
the Objectionable features of our political
system"

able the civil service commissioners and
others will be examined.
