FOR LOVE OF A WOMAN
WEALTHY SYDNEY SAMUEL is SAID
TO HAVE KILLED HIMSELF.
Suicide Of Hebrew Whose Father
Objected to His Marriage with q
Talented Catholic.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-Word was re-
ceived in this city to-day of the suicide in
Portland. Me-, of Sydney Samuel, of this
city. Mr.. Samuel, who was thirty-nine
years of age, was an Englishman of wealth

that Sydney had been bounded to his death
by a woman whom he described as an au-
thor. who is celebrated in this country and
Europe. For three years." the brother
said. 'she mas prosecuted him. In every
way he has sought to evade her. but she
has pursued him relentlessly. If there are
any possible grounds on which 1 may bring
action against this woman, will certainly
do so. I will not, at present, disclose her
name"
The World, tomorrow, will say: 1.-THE
reason Sydney Samuel, a wealthy exporter
of this city, killed himself in a hotel in
Portland, Me-, on Monday night, was re-
vealed yesterday. He shot himself because
he could not marry the woman he loved,
Mrs. Anita yivanti Chartres, a beautiful

Samuers father. the Rabbi Israel. who is
looked on as the head of the Jewish Church

Chartres is a Catholic. Yielding to the plea
of his father, Mr.. Samuel broke off his en-
gagement to Mrs. Chartres almost on the
eve Of the day set for their wedding. From
that day he was a changed man. He lost
all interest in life and became so melan-
choly that his brothers employed a man to
watch him lest he commit suicide"

CARNEGIE WANTS CANAL
BUT is STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THE
HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY.
Like Blaine, of Whom He Tells n
story, He Would Smash the Clay
tOn-Bulyver Agreement.

NEW YORK, Dec 12-The Tribune will
tomorrow publish a letter from Andrew
Carnegie favoring an isthmian canal, bur
opposing any treaty with England on the
subject Says Mr.. Carnegie in his COM
munication: Much has been said about
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. as if treaties
were eternal. 1t is the common practice
to denounce treaties when conditions
change. Mr.. Blaine held the true position.
When he was with me in London, there
was a dinner party with some of the lead
ing statesmen of Britain present. among
them Mr.. Chamberlain. The conversation
turned on Mr.. Biaines disagreements with
England on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. I
shall try to give you the gist of the con-
yersation:
+" Mr.. Blaine. you have not been friendly
to England
"T don't see why you should say so; I
have always been friendly with England
You did not show IL in your correspond
ence about the Clayton Bulwer treaty
Well when L read the correspondence
passing between the two countries / found
her Majesty was always telling the Presi-
dent what she expected and the Presi-
dent was telling her what he ventured TO
hope. When I replied, / told her Majesty
what the President expected
'Ahr exclaimed one, you admit, then,
you changed the character OF the corre-
spondence?
Not more than conditions have
changed replied Mr.. Blaine. When the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty was negotiated We
were a small. weak country and expected
to borrow the money TO build the canal
from you; now we do not ask your money
and we have grown greater in population
than Great Britain Gentlemen, the Repub-
lie is past the stage of venturing TO hope
when any other nation tells US what Ii ex-
Tlats her Na lei " etvnr 70
hope, we shall not fail TO he as courteous,
and venture 10 hope In return.
1T is unsafe for the United States TO al
low the slightest participation or the shad-
ow of foundation for claim TO participa-
ton in anything pertaining TO this conti-
nent. Far better no canal than one under
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. But there will
be canal. Britain needs only to see that
we are in earnest and resolved that 1t shall
be American and nothing else.''

Won BUELow SPEAKS AGAIN.
Gives More Reasons for snubbing
Kruger-Anglo-Germ Agreement.

BERLIN, Dec. Pin the Reichstag to-
day the imperial chancellor. Count Won
Buelow, referring 10 the complaints which
have arisen on account of Emperor Will
liam's failure to receive Mr. Kruger, went
lengthily again into the reasons for the
nonreception of Mr.. Kruger. covering new
ground in a statement which he made as
to the relations between Germany and
Great Britain. The chancellor repudiated
the suggestion that the governments ac-
ton was due to any wish or proposal from
the English court or government to the
Emperor. or to himself. the chancellor.
For the Emperor only German national
considerations were authoritative. If fam
lily relations or dynastic considerations in
fiuenced the foreign policy he would not
remain a minister another day.
Continuing, the chancellor said the Anglo
German agreement of 1895 did not contain
a provision relating to war between Great
Britain and the South African republics.
The Yang-Tse and Samoan agreements had
no secret clauses. When the Emperor in
1885, sent the telegram to Mr.. Kruger, there
was no question of war between the
states. Tt matter of a fiilibustering
expedition. The chancellor did not re-
pudiate the telegram whereby the Emperor
gave correct expression of his righteous
feeling regarding international law. The
Emperor did not intend TO determine Ger
man policy forever by that telegram. The
chancellor added: II commit no diplomatic
indiscretion in saying that the reception
of that telegram outside of Germany left
no doubt that in the event of conflict with
England in Africa. Germany would have
to rely solely on her own strength"

submerged the hall in sea of color. Never

staid old legislative hall. with it's severe

whose wages have been largely in
creased; for the business men, whose
transactions have more than doubled;
for the great industries, whose prog
ress has been such that a diagram OF
them for the last three years looks like
the profile of the Palisades. and in
victorious war. for the honor and fu-
ture safety OF the Nation. How large
a proportion Of them will have these
fruits of their wise action in 1896 re-
called to them every day for five
months and then vote the other way?
OF course. there are cranks so consti-
tued that 1t is to them intolerable to
agree with sensible men, even with
their sane selves of yesterday. But are
they more numerous than the demo-
Gratis who have learned something
from the last four years?
Men who have the prophetic fit on
them may with advantage think OF the
revolution which has been wrought in
the feelings Of American citizens. 1t
used to be little fashionable for sons
Of other lands to commiserate the
weakness Of the republic. 1t used to
be doubted whether the people OF the
Southern states, in case of any foreign
war. would stand under the Stars and
Stripes. 1t used to be impossible to
put through congress in a day or two,
all parties helping, bills appropriating
s5O.OOO.OOO for defense, or 100000 for
charity, or raising $500, ,OOO,OO by loan.
This nation has not only been united
as It never was before by events of
the last three years, but it has reach
ed a maturity and soberness of thought
about national interests and duties ut
terly unlike anthing in its previous
history. The demagogues who expect
ancient tricks to work in the old way
may report the result next winter.
The prophets who ignore all the re-
cent past may discover that they are
a whole generation behind the new
born American nation.

Several days ago Premier Laurier Of
Canada announced that the joint high
commission would meet shortly. 1t will
be remembered that before this COM
mission are the disputes between Cana
da and the United States which have
not been productive OF good feeling be-
tween the two peoples. The question
Of greatest Importance TO the Cana
dians is the Alaska boundary dispute.
Canada claiming certain territory
which heretofore has been undisputed-
ly conceded to the United States. II
is Intimated that Premier Laurier's
announcement is at the instigation Of
the British government. That the
commission win meet is probable. but
only little time ago it was announced
at our state department that there
would ne no meeting. at least for a con-
siderable period. The inference is
drawn from the proposed meeting that
Great Britain. before consenting TO ac-
cept the -Pauncefote treaty as the
senate proposed to amend it-permit-
ting US to fortify the Nicaraguan canal
will want some concession from the
United States. The natural concession
she would desire would be the right to
Pyramid Harbor. Alaska, which she
claims is hers by right, which claim
the United States denies. OF course
the people Of the United States viii
not consent to the cession OF any Of
the Alaskan territory which Canada
claims. and they would far rather see
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty defeated
and be forced to abrogate the Clayton
BulSer treaty. which the Hay-Paunce-
fote agreement amends.
