ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
MISS JOHANNA COLLINS TAKES
A LARGE DOSE OF MORPHINE.
Circumstances Indicate the Intent
Was Suicidal, But Prompt Medical
Assistance Saves Her Life.

A young woman, 10 years of age
whose name is given as Miss Johanna
Collins. took a dose of morphine at the
South Temple, Monday night, and the
circumstances surrounding the case in
dictate strongly that it was taken with
suicidal intent.
Miss Collins home is in Independence,
Ida. but she had been employed as a
waitress in Oneida, Mont. coming to
Salt Lake only two days ago, She ap-
peared to be very Respondent and COM
pletely detected. Monday night she re-
tired about 10 o'clock to her room, say
ing that she intended to write to her
father. This was the last heard of her
until about II o'clock yesterday morn
ing. when one of the servant girls
caught the sound of peculiar and IN
natural breathing from Miss Collins
room. Mrs. Whittemore, the proprie-
tress, was called and, after an unsuc-
cessful attempt to enter through the
transom. they succeeded in gaining adj
mission through a window opening
upon the veranda- The woman was
found in bed, but in an unconscious
condition. Mrs. Whittemore reported
the affair to the police station and Dr.
INCO-A W1o AAC Sd(-
ceeded in relieving the woman, who
gradually recovered consciousness, and
so improved that last evening she was
resting comfortable and sleeping
quietly.
To Herald reporter yesterday, Mrs.
Whittemore stated that the woman told
her she had only taken the morphine to
bring sleep, as she had been feeling
badly and been unable to rest. The
landlady, however, volunteered the
further information that the woman
had said she regretted that the drug
had not done it's work The size of
the doze was 121A grains, which was
taken inwardly. From the letters found
in her room, Mrs. Whittemore failed to
discover that her relations with her
parents were anything but cordial. She
notified Miss Collins father of the af-
fair by wire yesterday.

MANY DISTORTIONS.
Regulars Do Not Want to Return to
Cuba.

New York, Sept. 6.--The following
deaths occurred at Camp Wikoff, Mon
tauk Point. last night and this morn
ing:
Alfred Gardner, company I, Eighth
Ohio, pneumonia; William II. Farley,
battery G., Fourth artillery, consump-
ton; James c. Brown, band, Fourth
infantry, typhoid fever; John c. Quinn,
company L, First Illinois volunteers,
pneumonia; William L. Leininger, COM
pany c, Eighth Ohio, commissions.
There are only 891 men in the gen
eral hospital today, which is low fig
ure. There have been many fur
loughS, and conValescents have gone
home. There are four convalescent
wards without patients. One hundred
and fifty men in the hospital are down
with typhoid fever One hundred men
left camp on the morning train today
on Burroughs. The Eighth Ohio volun-
teeTs left the camp at 2 o'clock, bound
for home.
More desertions were reported today
from the ranks of the regulars. This
is due to the announcement that a
portion of the regulars are to be sent
back to Cuba for garrison duty. There
is a strong sentiment among the regu-
lars against returning to Cuba, on
account of the killing climate there.
General Shafter is giving special at
tention 70 the numerous assertions and
the dissatisfaction among the troops
for not being sent home. He has not
indicated what he proposes to do, but
is expected to make some decided ac-
ton before the day is passed.

FUSION IN WASHINGTON.
Silver Party State Committees Will
Get Together Today.


Ellensburg, Wash, Sept. 6.-The Pop
ullst, Democratic and silver Republican
state committees will convene here to-
morrow for the purpose of renewing
the triple alliance formed two years
ago and nominating a combination
ticket, consisting of two congressman
and two supreme judges. Not enough
delegates have arrived yet to enable
any forecasting of results. Those al
ready on the ground did no work of a
preliminary nature, but spent the day
in discussing affairs pertaining to the
conventions in a general way. 1t Is
generally conceded that If fusion is &C
complished, Congressman James Ham
ilton Lewis and w. c. Jones will be re-
nominated There will be a contest
over the supreme judges. The Populists
will insist on both nominees being of
their faith, while the Democrats will
ask that they be allowed to name one.
The question of endorsing nominee
for United States senator will also be
brought before the conventions, and it
will probably be a subject of consider
able discussion.
Congressman Jones arrived this
morning and Lewis is expected late to-
night. The candidates for supreme
Judge are numerous.
Among those already on the ground
are w. H Moore of Seattle and G.. w.
Belt of Spokane, Democrats; B. F.
Houston of Tacoma, and Judge Can
field of Whitman county, Populists.

Colorado's Silver Republican Com
mitteemen Summary Removed.
A GOLDBUG CONSPIRACY
WOLCOTTS PLAN TO DISRUPT
SILVER REPUBLICAN PARTY.
State Chairman and Secretary En-
gagged In Plot to Turn the State
Convention Over to the Mckinley
ties, But It Was Defeated By
Towne's Prompt Action.

Denver, Colo, Sept 6.-Charles A.
Towne. chairman of the silver Repub-
lican national committee, arrived in
this city today. He comes for the pur-
pose of urging the silver Republicans
to stand firmly by Senator Teller and
defeat the attempt which, it is said, is
being made by supporters of Senator
Wolcott to prevent fusion of silver
Republicans with the Democrats and
Populists in the coming campaign.
Late this afternoon Chairman Towne
removed Richard Broad from the posi-
ton of chairman of the silver Repub-
lican state central committee of Colo
RADIO and William r. Freeman from
the position of secretary of the same
committee, on the ground of disloyalty
to the silver Republican party and the
cause it stands for.
Chairman Towne appointed James H.
Blood of Denver as chairman or the
state committee and w. H. Griffith as
secretary. This action was taken by
Chairman Towne on representations in
writing by Senator Teller, Congress
man Shafroth and National Commit
teeman Stevenson, to the effect that
fraudulent contests have been insti-
tuted in a sufficient number of coun-
ties so that one-half of the state con-
vention to be held at Colorado Springs
on Thursday next will be made up Of
contested delegates and that Chairman
Broad and Secretary Freeman have
joined in a conspiracy to give the Nc
Kinley Republicans or followers OF
Senator Wolcott control of the conven-
ton and enable them to defeat the pro-
posed fusion with Democrats and Pop
ulists in the coming campaign.
The effert of Chairman TOwne's &C
ton will be to put the friends of Sena-
tor Teller in control of the convention.
Chairman Broad and Secretary Free
man dispute the right of Chairman
Towne to remove them and declare
thew will disregard his action.

Under Shafter.

Camp Wikoff, Sept. 6.-Major General
Joseph Wheeler, Of the volunteers, will
continue IN command of a division of
regular volunteers under General
SAafter. The president when he was
Here, asked General Wheeler if il was
necessary for him to go to Alabama for
the campaign and General Wheeler re-
piled that it was not. Mr. Mckinley ex-
pressed desire for him to remain in the
army until the work of the peace COM
mission takes some satisfactory form.
General Wheeler, however is not likely to
stay with the army after congress meets
in December.
General Shafter today announced his
staff as follows: Adjutant general.

ing general, Major J. D. Miley; judge ad-
vocate, Major S. w. Broesbeck; chief

and the crowding in the detention hos
pital was now remedied.

the next encampment may go to Phila-
delphia, but the western cities are put
ting up the stronger fight for the next
location. Denver is making a very
strong bid and the friends of Sexton
claim that it viii not operate against
him, even if that city is selected.
There has been considerable talk
about Mack of Ohio withdrawing In
favor of Shaw of New York, as the
friends of w. c. Johnson of Cincinnati
insist upon him for senior vice COM

offices are not likely to go to one

The association adopted resolutions
expressing the utmost confidence in
President Mckinley and other execu-
tive officers of the administration in
their action with regard to the army,
and, further giving the opinion that
the alarming reports of the condition
of the soldiers were traceable not to
complaints from the soldiers them
selves, but to the efforts to create SEN
Sational matter for publication.

OUTBREAK At GAMBIA
Bloody Conflict Between British
Soldiers and MusSulmanS.
ANARCHY AND RIOTS
CITY BOMBARDED AND MANY
HOUSES IN FLAMES.
Reported That the British Consul Has
Been KilledTrouble Was Caused
By An Attempt to Install Chris
tan Officials - Christian Houses
Attacked By Mussulmans.

Gambia, Island of Crete, Sept. g.
collision between the Mussulmans who
were demonstrating against European
control and the British authorities who
had been installing Christians as rev.
enue officials, eliminated today in
bloody fighting between the Mussul-
mans and the British troops. Riots
took place in various parts of the city
and many have been killed.
When the outbreak was fiercest a
warship stationed in the harbor began
firing shells, with the result that por-
ton of the city is in flames. The
greatest confusion and uproar prevails,
and it is feared that the night will not
pass without further pillage and de-
Struction.
The trouble began with the attempt
of the British military authorities to
install Christian officials. They had
appointed a council of internal con-
troll to collect the 1.-THE revenues, and
a detachment of soldiers was stationed
outside the office as a precaution. A
crowd OF unarmed Mussulmans who
had been demonstrating against the
Christians attempted to force an en-
trance into the office. The British SOL
diers fired and wounded several.
The Mussulmans ran for their arms,
and returning attacked the soldiers.
Other Musulmans spread rapidly
THROUGH the Christian quarter, shoot
ing into windows and setting many
houses and shops on fire.
1t is reported that the British consul
has been killed.
Canta, Sept. (via Paris -Four
warships have started for Gambia,
where, it is reported, three English per-
sons have been killed and four wound
ed, and six Mussulmans killed.
Special precautions are being taken
here, and at Retimo troops are being
held in readiness.
The lighting has ceased at Gambia,
but the troubles continue.
