CHINESE COMMITS SUICIDE.
Hanged Himself in an Old Washhouse
Yesterday.

Leong Sun consumptive Chinese
committed suicide by hanging himself
in an old washhouse behind the hill
back of the Insane Asylum. The body
was discovered yesterday afternoon by a
countryman, who went to inquire after
Leong's health. Leong Sun came to
this place recently from Kauai, his in
tention being to make his way to China.
He had a small amount of money and
went TO a friend who worked as a lab
orer close to where Leong was subse-
quently found dead. Dependency over
his sickness and the apprehension that
death would overtake him before he
reached China is thought to have been
the cause of Leong's act. When search
ed only few dimes were found in the
mans clothes. A coroner's inquest was
held yesterday A verdict in accord
ance with the facts was returned.
The deceased was about thirty years
of age. He will be buried in Makiki.

Montreal, Oct. 2s.-There are now on
duty at Valley Field, guarding the ex-
tensive works of the Dominion Cotton
company, % officers and 35S nom commits
stoned officers and men of the Royal
Scots, Victoria rifles and garrison artil-
lery, augmented by a bearer corps.
The Victoria rifles have their Maxim
gun with them. The sending of rein
forcements was decided on last night
after the first detachment CT the Royal
Scots had come into collision with the
strikers and as the result had nine of
their men sent to the hospital.
The Scots were practically at the
mercy of the strikers. as Colonel lDbot-
son was unable to find a magistrate who
was willing to read the riot act. The
officers had to content themselves with
firing their revolvers into the air. In the
meantime the men were the targets for
a fusilade of stones and other missiles.

DRY GOODS ARE ACTIVE.
Agricultural Operations Progressing
Well Over the Country.
MANY CONTRACTS FOR STEEL RAILS
All Raw Materials Are Firm Without Any Spe-
cuIatiye Activity TO Stimulate Them.
Agitation in Progress For Small
Advance in Rila,s.
Advance in Bille's.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct 26.-R. G. Dunn C Co, S
say:
The elections mean a great deal to all
business interests, and, although conf
dence in the future is seen on every
hand, it is but natural that men do not
care to take unnecessary chances and,
therefore delay new engagements as far
as possible until after the ballots are
counted. But contracts for steel rails
for the season thus far are within 80 900
tons of last years heavy bookings, and
the confidence in marked improvement
is so strong that all raw materials are
firm, and without any speculative ac-
tivity to stimulate them. The agitation
for an advance in billets, though a small
one. is an indication of what the iron and
steel markets expect in the next six
months and in the great industries sell
lers of material could easily make heavy
contracts if they cared to attach political
provisions to their agreements. However
unreasonable fears may be- it is likely
to be better for business in the long
run that conservative ideas for the pres
ent are entertained. The weather over
a great part of the country has been ia
vorable for agricultural operations,
which are progressing WELL and in the
East the unreasonable temperature has
retarded general trade comparatively lit
tie, as there has been no great stimulus
yet this season.
Cotton showed little recuperative pow
er after last weeks decline and closed
lower. The loss in price is $3.50 a bale
since October 9th and exporters are still
holding off. Wheat also continued it's
downward course, owing to good news
here and abroad, but an encouraging fea-
ture was the accelerated foreign buying
as quotations declined. Cotton goods
move rather more freely as the price
comes nearer parity with raw material,
but wide sheetings are dull at the adj
vance of 2 cents.
Failures for the week were 205 in the
United States, against 1870 last year, and
% in Canada, against 20 last year"

railroad station to the court house in an
open carriage, a distance of mile or
more through the principal streets and
received an ovation. Most of the houses
were decorated with flags and bunting,
and the windows apparently almost with
out exception were filled with women who
vigorously futtered handkerchiefs and
small flags at the candidate as he rode
by, cheering heartily all the time.
The speech at Paterson touched upon
the general issues of the campaign and
was freely applauded as it progressed
He talked on the trust question, but
made no reference to local conditions.
Mr.. Bryan arrived in Newark a few
minutes past seven o'clock tonight, and
here the scenes which were witnessed
in Jersey City last night were repeated
on a somewhat smaller scale The
streets were thronged with people and
the pathway of the Democratic standard
bearer was Illuminated with Greek fire.
He was first driven to the residence of
former United States Senator Jas. Smith,
where he took dinner. In front of the
Smith mansion, a vast multitude of peo
pie were assembled and they cheered
him heartily when Mr.. Bryan and his
escort of committeeman and marching
clubs arrived at that point. The meet
ings were all largely attended, and that
Mr.. Bryans admirers were in 1.-The sad
die" was amply attested by those who
greeted him at every turn"
A MAGNIFICENT GREETING.
The scene when Mr.. Bryan entered
the Kruger Auditorium in Newark was a
thrilling one. The big building was
crowded to its utmost capacity and when
the candidate entered all those present
began a tumultuous shout. All carried
small flags and waved them vigorously
They did not cease this demonstration
until Mr. Bryan arose and raised his
hand as a token that he desired to pro-
ceeed. Ex-United States Senator Smith
was among those who occupied the stage
Mr.. BRYAN said:
when in 1896 many who had been
with us in previous campaigns left the
Democratic party and went over to the
Republican party or stopped half way,
did not find fault, for l believed that the
great majority of those who left us then
left because they honestly believed that
my election would be injurious to the
country. / believed that they were
wrong, but they believed that they were
right, and they had to be guided by their
judgment, not by mine. If | could wit
ness the departure of those who had been
with us without criticism, l could well
come them back without censure."
Mr.. Bryan closed his speech with an
appeal for fair treatment for the Fill
pinos When he finished on the inside of
the building, he found on the outside
congregation ten times as big as had
listened to him within the building. He
was compelled to make speech there,
and after that effort he proceeded to the
baseball park. where he made the last
address of the night, closing shortly be-
fore midnight.
