Hama reviewed the war. A picture of
General Weylor was hissed but portraits Of
Washington, Lincoln, Grant and Mckin-

asm. He said of the Americans that when
an important question aros, the right
men were in the right place to handle it.
''Of President Mckinley" Mr.. Hanna
said you may depend upon IL that when
the time comes President Mckinley will
take the right step The ship of State is
in proper hands" Later he said, II de-
plore war, and pray that it Iuay be avert
ed, but the honor of this nation must ba
upheld, and will be upheld This was
greeted with applause. General Fitzhugh
Lees portrait was received with prolong-
ed hand.clapping, and the climax was
reached when the StOrs and Stripes were
shown. Despite the admonitions of Pastor

Polo will be the plenipotentiary in ar
ranging Cuban treaty. the Cuban
delegates above named. chosen by the
Cuban cabinet. will have entire control
of the terms of such a treaty.
When Senior Polo's attention was
drawn to recent critical phases Of the
Spanish situation he spoke with much
reserve. The Lee incident happened
while he was on the ocean, and he knew
nothing, he said, of the circumstances.
although he felt confident a misunder-
standing had grown out of some casual
illusions to General Lee, not meant as
any intimation that his recall was de-
sired.
The minister was then asked II he
viewed the present condition of affairs
between the United States and Spain as
indicating war. After a moments hesi-
tation he answered gravely:
Il am sure that the United States
does not want war, just as l am sure
that the Spanish government does not
want war, and will do everything hon
orable in its power to avert such a
calamity"

DEAD In HIS ROOM.
Robert Bradon Wallace of WashingtOn,P Pa
Dies by His Own Hand at Hotel Jen
ningS.

Robert Bradon Wallace, of Washing.
ton, Pa, came to Wilmington Thursday
afternoon, and committed suicide in his
room at the Hotel Jennings last evening
The body was found shortly before Z
o'clock Mr.. Jennings had not seen tho
young man about the hotel during the
day and sent call boy 80 Wallace S
room which was No. 10 on the first floor.
The boy could not get into the room and
so Informed Mr.. Jennings who unlocked
the door and fouud Wallacs on the bed
cold in death. The body was clad in II light
clothes. The hands and limbs were con-
vulsed and the fingers were half closed.
rhe mans face aud breast wero scratch
ed, evidently in his agony, and the
throat was swollen, presumably as re-
suit of the drug taken.
Mr.. Jennings summoned Captain Kane
and Deputy Coroner Chandler, the latter
taking charge of tho remains. On Wal
laco's clothing were found five pawn tick
cts, Oh Il Philadelphia house for diamonds,
u watch, ring and another piece Of jewelry.
A wallet, GU which was his initials, within
which was quarter, also was in pocket,
along with several letters, addressed to
Robert Bradon Wallace. They were from
Washington, Pa, and were signed "Your
dear mother" In one letter Wallace was
iMplored to return to his homo.
DR.. Smith was Summoned and pro.
nounced the man dead for five or six
hours. The symptoms were that an over
dose Of strychnine was the cause Of death.
A box labelled ''calomel pills was found
alongside of Wallace.
Tho symptoms of Wallace's death are
identical with those produced by an over
dose of strychnine. The tablets in the
box found, however, are supposed to be
calomel. and 1t may be that Wallace, in
r,1o ocit I,a to oblnt, in tho in
some manner mixed those of strychnine
and of calomel, the strychnine being
taken in mistake. This mixture of pills
could have been made easily by Wallace
at college, and it may bo that he had not
contemplated elf-destruction.f5 That,
however, is question that never can be
determined.
He was about 26 years cf age. and was
prominent young medical student OF
Washington; Herecently attended school
in Philadelphia. His parents have been
informed of his death,
