Gov. Roosevelt Suggests Relief for
New York Commerce.
ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 25-Gov. Roose7
velt. in transmitting to the legislature to-
day the report of the New York commerce
commission appointed in 1895 and the ca
nal commission, directs especial atten-
ton to the way in which the railroads,
especially the railroads of this state. dis
criminate against the city of New York
in the interest Of competing ports.
The commission shows that the differ
entail agreement Is made SO as to over
come the advantage which New York
would have under natural conditions as
the cheapest route to foreign markets for
the products of the West, and comments
with especial severity upon the New York
railroads which have received benefits
from the state and yet participate in the
discrimination, to the serious injury of
New York. Gov. Roosevelt says:
The commission reports that the ques-
I1on Of the canal was fully the central
question around which hinged all others
concerned with benefting the commercial
development of New YORK or with arrest
ing this development. This is a further
proof If any be needed, of the immense
Importance Of the canal and extreme un-
wisdom of abandoning 1t as an outworn
institution.

of these there can be no question in my
opinion. Proper terminal facilities should
be Immediately provided as the commits
sion outlines. The act regulating the fees
and charges for elevators should be
designed to navigate the canals to capi-

Identity Unknown, but Thought to

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland Jan. 25.-
News has just been received that a large
unknown vessel went ashore on Foxtail
Point Wednesday, Jan. {. Herespars Were
all gone, and lot Of wreckage was along
her side, but she showed no sign OF men
or boats. A southeast gale on Saturday
drove the vessel off the shore and the
Ice prevented anybody getting near the
wreck.
The latest news from Foxtail Point
shows the wreck is a large vessel, prob
ably American, and has been on the rocks
four days. No one seems to be aboard,
and no signs of boats are to be seen about
the wreck. The hull has been much buff
feted, either before or since striking the
rocks, and parts Of wreckage cast ashore
are split into fragments. The stormy
) weather prevented boats from getting
near the wreck, and much ice Is being
formed in the harbor, crashing about and
threatening the safety of any vessel that
may put off.

During the last few days Lemke,

of Lemke's and he accented an invita-.

he should be better. This afternoon Mrs.
Orton left the house, going out at
quarter past 1 o'clock. At that time
Lemke was in his room and was ap
pa,ently in good spirits and there was
nothing to indicate that there was any,
thing serious in his physical condition.
When she returned at a quarter of 4
o'clock she found Lemke horribly burned
and dead. His head was inside the stove
and was burned beyond semblance OF
humanity The fire had communicated to
his clothing which was burned down TO
the waist the body being blackened and
charred. The carpet, too, was charred,
but by some fortunate chance had burned
itself out without dese eoying the house.

presence of Lemke.

! that of suicide during a period OF mental
alteration The position of the body and
