Was Recently Appointed Consul Gen.
eral to Singapore.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. S.-W. Irvine
Shaw. who had been filling the position of
United States consul at Barranquilla, CO.
lombia, and who was recently appointed
consul general to Singapore. committed
suicide in hotel here to-day. He opened
femoraI artery and slashed his throat
and wrists with a knife. Ill health is sup
posed to have affected his mind.
For three years he had attended to his
duties as consul at Barranquilla, while rev.
olutions shook the southern republic. Heat,
fevers and the arduous duties undermined
his health and he asked for and obtained
leave of absence. early last August. His
dislike for the old post increased and he
sought another appointment and was sue
cessful In his quest for new station and
was named consul general at Singapore.
After receiving the appointment he decided
to return to Barranquilla to settle his af-
fairs. He left the home of his sister in
Germantown, near here, where he had been
staying, two weeks ago, and sailed from
New York. That was the last heard OF
him until he was found dead to-day.
Mr.. Shaw was thirty-eight years OF age
and a native of Clearfield county, Pennsyl-
vania. He is survived by widow and two
sons.

Dec. Is and the work of the movement has,
as a consequence, been dropped in all that

where they were beheaded, and in the
meantime secret order had been sent to
the imperial troops to descend upon the

LONDON. Dec 2s.-The joint note of the
powers is now on the way to the Chi
nese court at Si-Ngan-Fu. and its
terms probably will be accepted with
out unnecessary delay. The note was
delivered on Monday TO the Chi

to attend the meeting of the ministers and
his credentials and those of Prince Ching
were presented by the latter to the foreign
ENJOYS. The ministers assembled at the
residence of Senor B. j. De Cologan (the
Spanish minister and the doyen OF the
the diplomatic corps), and received Prince
Ching TO whom the Spanish minister hand

Chang, who is still i'll, asked to be ex-

honor to accept the note concerning the
re-establishment Of good relations and will
transmit IL Immediately to the Emperor
and communicate to you his reply as soon
as received" He assured the ministers
that a speedy reply was the desire OF the
court, as it felt that all China wants peace
and prosperity.
According to a news agency dispatch
from Peking. dated Dec. "A. the foreign

NO SUBSIDY LOBBY.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. Ex-senator Han
ma was informed to-day of statement
which is in circulation to the effect that
there was a powerful lobby in favor Of
the subsidizing of American shipping at
the Philadelphia convention and in Wash
ington. '"The only lobby Of that kind
know anything about" was the senator's
answer, 'is a lobby of foreign steamship
companies which is trying to defeat the
bill. There was no lobby at Philadelphia
at all. The subsidy bill is business meas
ure, and there is no desire to force it
through Congress. We want it to go
through on it's merits. 1t has been three
years in preparation, and has been amend
ed twenty times. The President, in all his
messages, has urged the necessity of some
such measure, and it was made plank in
