NEW YORK, JAN 6.-The Evening Post
today quotes general officer of the Clan

as a fighter in the United States army,
as saying: 'It would be folly to send
men into Canada at this time of the year.
They would have more to fear from the

mother that man was sitting outside
their door with pistol pointed toward
the room Mrs. O'Brien was too Ill to
leave her bed and the little girl was SO
overcome with fright that she could not
be induced to investigate further and for
half an hour the body remained ghast-
ly spectacle in the chair, while those in
side feared every moment the man whom
they believed to be alive would enter the
room The body occupied a quiet, nat
ural position in the chair and more than
casual glance from q distance was
necessary to realize the tragedy that had
been enacted
FINDING. THE BODY.
The fact. that the man had killed him
self. was discovered by Mrs. OBrien's
son, Leo, who reached home about $50
o. clock In ascending the stairs he no.
ticed the stranger apparently reposing in
the chair, but was Mortified, on approach
ing closer, to see the pallid countenancc.
the blood stained clothing and the re-
voIver still clutched In the suicides hand
Running down stairs he informed Mrs
Neitman of what had happend and Pa.
trolman Hennessy was called. He eX-
amined the body and found it cold in
death. The head was slightly inclined to
the left, while the hand gripping the re-
voIver was pressed close to the body and
the other hand resting on the arm of the
chair. In the top of the head was bull
let hole, while in tie wall back Of the
body the plaStering was shattered, show
ing where the ball had gone after crash
ing through the mans skull. He had
placed the barrel of the revolver IN his
mouth, inclined upward and sent the
bullet through his brain.
CLEws TO HIS IDENTITY.
When Coroner Nelson reached the scene
the papers that established the man $
Identity as J. e. Sutton, of Logansport,
Ind, were found. One typewriter letter,
dated Logansport, Dec. %, and written
on letterhead paper bearing the inscrip-
ton, "Daily Reporter, j. e. Sutton, pro-
prfetor,' and addressed to j. E. Sutton
at Portland, Or, related TO business mat
tiers, evidently in connection with the
newspaper at Logansport. 1t stated that
the writer, who signed herself Bessie, :"
had paid 500 on a note, as though per In
struction, and would forward all mail
that was intended for Mr.. Sutton. Sew
eral newspaper clippings, doubtless from
the Daily Reporter, of Logansport, were
found in an envelope, one of them relat-
ing the robbery of the house of A. ]. SUIT
ton. One Of several railroad passes made
out in the name Of j. E. Sutton, found
in the dead mans pockets, was trans
portation from Portland, Or, to St. Paul.
SUICIDE WAS PLANNED.
When the clothing of the dead man
was carefully searched at the morguc
two mysterious notes, indicating that Mr.
Sutton had planned to kill himself, were
found. One of these read: cit was not
true, but try to die as game as can. .,
The other note, probably intended for
his wife, read: Trouble, death and

RIGHT on SEARCH.

RIGHT OF SEARCH.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan, G.-Prof. 8.
T. Wolseley makes the following state
ment in regard to the right of search III
the Suez canal:
by the terms Of the international con-
vention in 1887 the Suez canal was neu-
tralized-that is, freed from act OF war.
The English claim. however, that the
convention is a dead letter. Their posi-
ton is stated by Prof. Harvard to be a
reservation or denial of the provisions
Of the treaty during the British oceupa-
ton Of Egypt. AS Mr.. Curzon said In
the house of commons in July, 1889: Tho
terrOrs Of this convention have not boon
brought into actual realization The
searching of vessels, which would be I'M
lawful under the convention CT 1887, would
be allowed under this theory. But the
question Is whether English Jurisdiction
In Egypt would not warrant these seiz-
ures. The British protectorate of Egypt
does not carry sovereignty with 1t. To
declare a treaty void or in force as 1t
pleases, the English government Is play
ing fast and loose with international OBJ
legations Suppose these contentious to be
urged by hostile Europe (and there Is
much to be sad in their favor), it is evt-
dent a serious complication might arise,
involving not only the status of the Suez
canal, but opening also the whole Egyp-
tan question.
THAT ALLEGED TREATY.
LISBON, Jan. ga semi-official note to
the press regarding the Anglo-German
agreement has Just been Issued It Is as
follows: : ~
1.-THE British and German governments,
having previously reached an agreement
between themselves, informed Portugal
that in the event of her contracting a
large loan for the purpose of reorganiz-
Ing her finances, the two governments
were disposed to guarantee the success OF
the operation At the same time the gov
ernments of Great Britain and Germany
assured Portugal that the basis of the
agreement between them was the recogni-
ton of the integrity of the Portuguese
colonial dominions and the legitimacy or
Portuguese sovereignty over the Portu-
guese possessions. They further suggest
ed that in the event of Portugal accept
ing a proposal concerning loan the lat
ter should be guaranteed by the colonial
and customs receipts. The Portuguese
government then declared that 1t had no
need Of such a loan, and, according TO
our information, has no such need to the
present day.
RUSSIA RESENTs CENSORSHIP.
BERLIN, Jan 6-The Cologne Zeituag's
correspondent telegraphs his paper that
the Russian government re entity ADDRESS
ed q communication to the various cab
inets regarding the strictness of the Brit
ish censorship over kilograms to and from
the South African republics, which is 81

took his life is a mystery only limited at
in the brief notes he probably wrote be-
fore the fatal act. That 1t was a sud-
den determination seems likely from the
fact that the revolver was new, appear!
Ing never to have been used before, while
m the dead mans pockets was found a
box of cartridges, from which only
enough had been taken to load the pistol.
He was a young man, perhaps a trif1e
over thirty years of age, unusually well
dressed, wearing a Scotch tweed suit. a
fashionable overcoat and patent leather
shoes, while his general appearance was
that of a man of more than mediocre
social standing. He was tall, well
proportional smooth faced, with rather
an effeninate countenance and an abund-s
ance Of dark, curly hair. He wore an
open-face gold watch, a diamond shirt
stud and evidently had money enough for
immediate use. as something over SIS was
|. found in his pockets
! Mr.. Sutton entered the building shortly
after 5 o'clock. On the second floor he
opened the door of costuming establish
ment, conducted by Mrs. Louis Neitman,
but, acting as though he had made a
mistake in getting into the wrong room,
closed the door without word, and was
afterwards heard going up to the third
floor Mrs. Neitman gazed at the young
man, as he stood for q moment in her
doorway, but had no opportunity to speak
to him, as he retreated so quickly When
he went up stairs, she thought he was
looking for the family on the other floor,
and thought nothing more of the stranger
until she recognized him, half an hour
later, as the dead man in the chair at the
head of the stairs Nothing was heard
of the man on the third floor until the
sound of the pistol was heard AS this
was some time after Mrs. Neitman saw
him, he probably sat down in the chair
and thought over the act he was about to
commit before sending the bullet into his
brain.
( FRIGHTENED THE TENANTS.

seem to have been Mrs. NJ M. O'Brien
and her fourteen-year daughter,
