Consul Ashby Drowned

Washington, January 1.-THE state
department received official confirma-
ton today of the reported death of
United States Consul Ashby, as Colon.
from United States Consul General Gud
ger at Panama. 1t was a brief statement
that Ashby had been drowned, without
any particulars of the event, and an
that a man would be
temporarily put in h consulate. Mr..
Gudger stated further that he was go
ing from Panama to Colon, presum-
ably TO look after h efforts of the con-
sulate, install the new man and, if pos
sfble, arrange for the recovery of the
remains of Mr.. Ashby.
William w. Ashby was a native of
Spottsylvania county, Virginia and was
about forty v years of age. He was
a newspaper man by profession and
was extremely popular with his asso-
ciates in Washington during the time
he served as a correspondent for Vir-
ginia newspapers.

Raleigh, N. c., January 17.-When
Judge Robinson, of the superior court,
was holding court here last Novem-
Der he charged the grand jury regard
ing free passes, and as a result the
Southern railway was prosecuted.
Judge Robinson at Durham today
again charged the grand jury against
free passes. AS a result H w. Miller,
John B. Munson and R. L. Potts of the
Southern railway and Railway Com
missioner Ohio Wilson were tonight
subpoenaed to appear at Durham to-
morrow and give evidence before the
grand jury as to free passes. 1t is be-

force, top-heavy with the gold lace of
staff officers, many of whom had not
seen more active service than falls to
the lot of a member of the police force.
The army should, he declared, be en-
tirely re-organiZed. He said this in
no spirit of jingoism, but for the pur-
pose Of calling the attention of the
country to the fact that we are paying
a large price for a very inefficient
army, utterly unprepared for war
while a very small additional expendi-
ture with proper reorganization
would work wonders. One of the
gravest defects in the present organi-
zation, he said, was lack of a properly
instructed and competent staff. me
brains of the army should be in the
staff. In the modern sense Of the word
we lad no staff. Our ammunition
plant, was, he said, hopelessly def
cient. At the present rate of accumu-
lated reserve, he said, at the end of
five year we would only have enough
ammunition to supply the infantry for
two days at the firing rate Of the bat
tie of Gettysburg.
Mr.. Lewis, democrat, of Washington,
made a vigorous speech against any in
crease Of the army. He charged that
the trusts were in control of the coun-
try and constituted the mailed hand
of power behind the DEGREES of the
courts. If the army were increased,
the people would, he said, be justified
in asking whether it was not to be
used to barricade the courts and break
down everything that means the free
dom of the government. He quoted a
telegram which he said, Senator Han
ma had received from Frankfort, Ger
many, signed by A. Seligman, as fol-
lows: Il congratulate you on your
election. 1t is most satisfactory to
me-" That message, he said, came
from the man who helped to place a
mortgage on this government of $780,
00O, 900. Its insolence, he said, had no
parallel in history save in the mes
sage sent by Pontius Plate to the ex-
ecutioner of Jesus Christ, congratu-
lating him that his work was well
done.
Mr.. Hill, republican,, of Iowa, chair
man of the committe on military af-
fairs, expressed concurrence in the
views of Mr.. Mcclellan to the extent
that he believed the army should be
~reorganized as the present organiza-
tion was obsolete.
Without completing the bill the
committee rose and at $40 p. m, the
house adjourned.

Pensacola, Fla, January 17.-Last
Friday night Herbert Seeley and Miss
Alice Caro-, of Warrington, attended a
party at Millview. Miss Caro- and her
escort did not appear at Warrington
Saturday.
This morning a searching party was
organized and near a bridge a few
miles from Millville the horse attach
ed to the vehicle was found tied to a
tree. A few yards away in a clump of
trees the bodies of the young people
were found, both dead. Both had been
killed by pistol balls.
After viewing the bodies and sur
roundings, the coroner's jury were
convinced that the young man had
outraged the young lady and then
killed her and subsequently commit
ted suicide. 1t is said they were en-
gagged to be married and SO far as is
known there was no opposition to the
marriage. Both were we'll connected.

Boston. Mass, January IA re-
duction in the wages Of about I25, 600
operatives employed in nearly $50
cotton mills in New England, which
the. manufacturers decided upon as a
temporary remedy for depression In
the cotton goods industry in the north.
went into effect in a majority of the
mills today.
In several mill centres. mainly New
Bedford. Mass, and Biddeford, Saco
and Lewiston. Me-. dissatisfaction
among the mill hands is intense and
strikes are on. The eighteen mills
of the first named city, which give n
ployment to about 5000 hands, have
been shut down because the opera
tives have refused to accept the re-
d%uction, and the contest thus inaugu-
rated promises to be one of the most
stubborn in the history of the textile
industry. The situation in New Eng
land is very gloomy. Business there
had not recovered from the depression
which followed the failure of six mill
corporators last spring.
The $500 employees at the Laconia
and Pepperell mills in Biddeford, Me-,
refused to go TO work this morning I'M
der the new schedule and it is thought
the strike there will not be settled
easily. Some of the employees of
York mills of Saco also Joined the Bid
deford movement.
The Androscoggin mills in Boston
and the King Phillip plant in Fall Riv-
er were handicapped by a strike of a
number of hands and the Queen City
mills of Burlington, VT, nave been
closed on account of a strike which fol-
lowed the posting of notices of a re-
duction.
"O "a at SAe Hills
in New Bedford, in which dirt and
stones were thrown at the managers.
without doing any harm, was the
nearest approach to serious trouble.
This afternoon quiet prevailed in all
sections and the stores and streets
were almost deserted.
On January 3rd, the reduction took
effect in mills employing about $4,000
hands. The reduction today affected
the cotton mills of Maine, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut, the mills of New
Bedford, Lowell and a large number of
smaller places in this state and New
Hampshire. ThesAtlantic and Pacific
corporations of the Lawrence and pro-
badly the other cotton mills in one or
two places elsewhere will make a cut
next Monday.
The cut amounts to about 10 per
centres it is II 10 percent. and even
higher, while in a few small mills it
is only about 5 per cent.
The New Bedford strikers will be
supported financially by the operatives
in other centres and it is said they are
prepared to hold out until spring. The
national organization of textile unions
has also voted to support the New
Bedford strike. 1t is estimated that
the reduction means a loss of between
SIS, 900 and $S5, 900 a week to the wage
arners, and the additional loss to
strikers in the various centers if they
remain idle even for a short time will
swell this amount to a much larger
figure.

TIRED OF LIFE.

John Matthews, by Agreement with His
Wife, Kills Her aud Their Two Children
Then Takes His Own Life.
New York, January 17.-John Mat
thews a retail grocer, some time be-
tween last Saturday and this morning,
murdered his wife and their two
children, a boy 10 years old and a
girl II, by hacking them to death with
suicide by shooting himself in the
head. Before dying, it is believed that
he turned on gas, that asphyxiation
should complete his murderous work.
The crime was committed in a small
bedroom in the zeal Of the store kept
by Matthews. The wife and her two
children met death while asleep. 1t is
supposed that Matthews had become
respondent from pecuniary Difficult
ties.
From letters left it was ascertained
that for some time Matthews had been
intending to end his Own life. He
had been in the drygoods business
further up town and had failed. A
few months ago he opened the grocery
store and met with little success His
wife, a pretty little woman, had re-
Gently undergone a severe operation.
From a letter left by Mrs. Matthews
to a friend it was gathered that she
was a party to a suicide agreement
She wrote as follows. Herman is
going to die, and / am going with
him and we are going to take dar-
lings with u.s." Herman" is suppos-
ed to mean Matthews.
From other letters the impression
was gained that Mrs. Matthews, driven
to desperation by the serious effect OF
the operation which she had under.
gone. had even urged Matthews to Kill
his family, and that from time tc
time he had put of the execution OF
their plans. Mrs. Matthews had ever

ment for the entire family as High.

o'clock in order to permit senators to
attend the funeral of Mrs. Bright, wife
of the sergeant-at-arms of the senate.
Senator Vest made brief personal
explanation the purport of which was
that he had received a letter from At
torney General Grlegs denying that at
banquet in New York he had, as
quoted, expressed the opinion that the
constitution made for 10 half developed
colonies could not reasonably be ex-
pected to meet the demands of the
greatest nation in he world.
Senator Morgan presented memori-
al from the National Board Of Trade
favorable to the construction of the
Nicaragua canal, asking that the docu-
ment be printed in the congressional
record.
Senator Allen objected, and the OBJ
lection provoked the basis of an ami
mated discussion invoking the rules of
the senate as well-as the wisdom of the
construction of the canal. Senator
Morgan accepted the objection as an
effort to obstruct the legislation for the
canal and prevent the country's secur-
ing information on the subject.
Senator Allen resented this imputa-
ton, saying that he was favorable to
the canal on general principles, though
advocating government ownership. He
predicted that the canal would cost
$5CO.O0O,00O.
