years, but whose family resides in Aus

weeks visit to Chico Hot Springs, where
he went in June on account of i'll health.
AS he. sometimes had attacks which af-
fectedr his mind, it is thought that this
attempt at suicide, which will doubtless
result fatally. is the result of one of
these attacks.
eMr. Rakon worked in the mines yester-
day, and as there was no work today,
he, like his partners, was idle. He ate a
hearty dinner. as usual, and for some
time after dinner he talked with Joe
Trefel, the man with whom he was
boarding, and seemed as well as usual.
A little before 3 o'clock he went down

a reasonable time. the man of the house
went down to see what was the cause,

blood on the floor, with a razor by his

BRYAN's RUNNING MATE.
PennsylvanIans win Push the Candl.
dasy Of Form,r Governor
Pattlsol.

PORTLAND. June l9.--A special to
the Evening Telegram from Washing
ton says:
Pennsylvania may present candi-
date to the Kansas City convention
for the presidency This, at least
is the opinion Of the Philadelphia Bull
letln. and also OF some Of the leading
democrats OF the Keystone state. A
definite effort is being made by certain
influential Pennsylvania democrats TO
boom former Governor Robert E. Pat
tlson for the democratic nomination.
For several months Mr.. Pattlsons
name has been discussed in this con-
nectlon in Pennsylvania and other
states, and II is reported that during
the former governors recent visit TO
Chicago he received assurances that the
democrats OF the Northwest would not
be hostile 10 his candidacy. As a po-
litical foil for Bryan, Pattlson is re-
garded as especially available. While
loyal TO Bryan In 1896. he nevertheless
retained the confidence OF the sound
money democrats. and there are dem
ocratie influences at work in Phila-
delphla and elsewhere which believe
that Pattison as Bryan's running mate
would materially strengthen the
ticket.
1t is well known that Pattison is not
averse to being a candidate. When
interviewed on the subject some time
ago he implied his willingness If the
convention saw At to nominate him, TO
undertake the responsibility Of the
canvass. Acting under this assurance,
number OF the members OF the Phil
adelphia democratic city committee
are agitating for an Endorsement of
Pattison.

The committee had It's Hrgt formal
meeting today al the Hotel Walton

Of the convention. Practically the on

from Delaware and Tennessee. although
developments this afternoon have

missioner Evans and Representative
Brownlow OF Tennessee are fighting for
the control OF the republican organiza-

Alabama consumed the entire after
noon and resulted In the decision OF the
committee not TO place the names OF
any of the eontesting delegates OF eth
er faction on the temporary rolls OF
the convention, except those from the
Ninth district
The action OF the committee was
controlled largely by the fact devel-
opcd In the hearing that federal Office
holders have taken a very active part
on both sides Of the controversy in
shaping the result. This circum-

What are Delivers ehancesg" was
asked.
''Dolliver is an avowed candidate and

WASHINGTON. June 1S.-ofIicial dis
patches received n diplomatic quarters
In Washington show that the rioting
in Pekin has reached an acute stage,
with the rioters directing a number OF
their assaults against the members
of the different foreign legations
there.
One OF these dispatches states that
the secretary of the Belgian legation
was attacked twice on Monday, and
escaped after being maltreated by the
mob On the same day, two officials
of the British legation. serving as stu
dent interpreters. were attacked by a
large mob OF roughs. The young Eng
lishmen held the attacking party back
for awhile, but when the mob threat
ened to close in on them they drew their
revolvers. and by show Of force made
their retreat without bodily injury.
About the same zine the British
summer quarters, about four miles
from Pekin. were burned down. The
quarters were quite extensive. and had
Just been completed. They belonged to
the British government, and not to Sir
Claude Macdonald, the British min
lister at Pekin. which gives added sig
nificance to the depreciation. The kill
ing of the Chancellor Of, the japanese
legation at Pekin, Sagu Yamaka All
kari. is not referred to in official dis
patches received here. but full credit
is given to this report by Japanese
officials who are personally acquainted
with Mr.. Aikari and with many of the
circumstances detailed.
The killing of number of the di-
plomatic body and the foregoing as
saults upon officials of foreign countries
are regarded as representing the most
serious phase of the situation that has
thus far occurred.
