Own Life.


Own Life.
Syracuse, n. Y, July 9.-Frederick
l.. White, son of Andrew d. White.
United States ambassador to Germany,
While temporarily insane, shot and
killed himself at $50 o'clock in the
afternoon. at his home, 600 James
street, in this city. Mr.. White, who
was 50 years of age, went into a bath
room and a little later his wife found
him dead, with a bullet through his
brain and a rife by his side.
Beyond the fact that death came al
most instantly, little is known of the
immediate circumstances of the ira gedy.
With his family, Mr.. White had been
living III the residence occupied by his
father before the latter was elected
president of Cornell university. With
him were his wife, a daughter of Gen
eral ID. III. Bruce, postmaster Of SYRIA
cuse, and their 11-year- old son.
The family expected to leave the city
at once and had made all preparations
to sail Wednesday for Europe to spend
the summer with Andrew d. White
in his cottage on the Island of Rugen,
III the Baltic sea. Mr.. White had eX-
pressed himself as greatly pleased at
the prospect of the sea voyage and
again seeing his father, but as the time
approached for him to leave Syracuse.
the melancholy that had been with
him for some weeks seemed to in
crease. Notwithstanding this, his
friends were totally unprepared for the
tragedy of the day, having no thought
that he contemplated suicide.

in a Cistarn-Arrest Made.
Fort Wayne, Ind, July 9:-It is NOW
believed that Alice Cothrell, 10 years
old, found in a cistern ait Huntertown,
ten miles north of here, was murdered.
The county coroner held a secret in
vestigation yesterday. The girl was
found in Charles Dunn'S cistern. Dunn
is neighbor to whose house she had
been sent ON an errand.
The body was discovered after the
child had been missing five days and
people had hunted for her everywhere
1t did not appear, however, to have
been in the water more than few
hours. The child could not have fall
len into the cistern, owing to it's con-
struction AS result of the investi-
cation Charles Dunn was taken into
custody last night and will be formally
charged with the murder OF the child.
Physicians who assisted the coroner in
his Investigations say an attempt had
been made to outrage the child.

British Blue Book of Interest

Washington, July 9.-Rear Admiral
reau of navigation, yesterday issued
a formal statement to the effect that
he is the writer Of the famous dis
patch to Admiral Dewey ordering him
to proceed from Hong Kong to Manila
and there capture or destroy the Span
ish fleet Admiral CrOwninshield states
that the wrote the dispatch in the
White House and submitted it to both
Attorney General Griggs and the pres
ident, and that the only change made
i'll the dispatch as he wrote it was the
addition of either the word capture"
or the word destroy" The Dispatch
according to Admiral CrOwninshield
then was handed to Lieutenant Whit
tlesley, who took it to Secretary Long,
and after the latter had signed it sent
it to Admiral Dewey,
long First Developed the Idea,
In conclusion Admiral Crowninshield
says that whatever credit comes from
having given the order belongs to the
president and Secretary Long. Secre~
tary Long said upon this subject;
my recollection is entirely distinct.
Immediately upon declaration Of war
[ had conferred with the president
about an order to Dewey to attack
the Spanish feet at Manila. On Sum
day morning, April a, | went to the
White House, sat with the president
on a sofa in the corridor and earnest
ly advised the sending Of such an Or
der. But for Admiral CroWninshield's
statement | should ave said unhesi-
tatingly that I had With me the dis
patch which had been prepared in his
bureau Of navigation, and that, the
president approving, l returned to the
navy department and sent it in to the
bureau of navigation to be put in
cipher.
Suggests Some Possibilities.

drove out, between II and u o'clock,
[ remember passing Admiral Crownin-
shield. AS to what transpired later at
the White House at the meeting which
he describes. |. of course, have no
knowledge. Tt seems to me probable
that the president, after his interview
with me, sent for some of the cabinet
and Admiral CrOwninshield and took
up the dispatch which. according to
my recollection, had already been pre-
pared, and gave it final consideration.
Probably also there had then come in
Dewey's dispatch of the day before adj
vising us that he had been ordered to
get away from Hong Kong"

Annual Revival.
Cincinnati, July S.-The Christian
Endeavorers made Sunday a busy day.
From morning till evening, and during
almost every hour Of the day there
were services going on in some part
of the city. The day opened with
three ''quiet hour meetings held in
three of the largest of the city's
churches. The various pulpits about
the city were occupied during the rest
of the morning by the visiting min
listers The afternoon was devoted to
three simultaneous evangelistic meet
ingS in the Music Hall Auditorium.
These meetings were classified for
men, women and children. During
the evening there was a shifting of the
various ministers who occupied local
pulpits in the morning 1t is estimated
by the local committee that there are
at least 10000 visiting Endeavorers in
the city, and many more are expected
to arrive.
The following were elected state
presidents and trustees in their respec-
tive states at the Christian Endeavor

lam Kent, Pierre Lorillard Ill, Dr..
Edward Kilroe, uorillard's private
physician, Dr.. Austin Flint, and sew
eral nurses.
At midnight Saturday LOrillard be-
came unconscious, and it was thought
then that the end was at hand. He
rallied, however, and was conscious
for a few moments at intervals up to
about noon, when he lost conscious
ness for the last time. In his con-
sciOus moments he recognized his
children. He told his physicians sew
eral days ago that he knew that death
was approaching.
Husband and Wife Estranged.
LOrillard has suffered with Bright's
disease for about ten years, and had
had two previous acute seizures. He
went abroad several months ago, ac-
companied by Edward Kilroe, and
spent most of the winter in Italy. In
the spring he seemed improved and
went to England. The third acute at
tack of the disease occurred about two
weeks ago while Mr.. LOrillard was at
the races at Ascot. When Kilroe
suggested that sea voyage might be
beneficial, Lorillard said he would re-
turn to America, for if he was going
to die he wanted to die in his own
country surrounded by his family
He grew worse OH the voyage on the
Deutschland, and was dying man
when he was carried from the ship
to the hotel last Thursday.

Pierre Lorillard, Jr. and two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. William Kent and Mrs. T
tween husband and wife took place
several years ago. Mrs. Lorillard was
the beautiful Emily Taylor, the
daughter of "a clergyman.
Exact Cause a Mystery.
The son and daughters Of the LOril-
lards were we'll grown when the diff
ferences between the parents arose.
The exact cause is mystery, but it
is said to have been objection on the
part of Mrs. Lorillard to certain WISH
tors at Tuxedo, the magnificent resort
which he founded, transforming a
wilderness into a vast park of floral
beauty.
The domestic troubles of the LOril-
lards were not Haunted, and the gener-
al public knew little of the particulars.
Mrs. Lorillard visited her dying hus-
band on Friday, and the sight of her
seemed to revive him. She was not
present when the end came. Various
estimates have been made of the value
of Mr.. Lorillard's estate, and while
its exact value at the present time is
not known, it is believed that it is
more than $25,0O0,000.

Presidents That Are Interesting to Us,
Since We Are Annexing-
Washington, July 9.-The position OF
the British government relative to the
various mining, railroad and other con-
cessiOns in the Transvaal is fully dis
closed in a blue book covering this
subject which has just reached Wash
ington. The subject is of the very
first Importance to the state and war
departments as some of the most trou-
blesome and weighty problems now
confronting them arise from claims of
various cOncessiOnaries in the Philip
pines, Porto Rico and Cuba. Claims
Of vast amounts based ON telegraph
and railroad franchises granted by the
Spanish government prior to the Span
ishAmerican war have been made,
and Great Britain's course may estab-
Iish a valuable precedent Moreover,
the most important of the concessions
in our insular possessions and in Cuba
are claimed by English corporations.
One interesting statement in the be-
ginning is this: con the first of Sep
tember, 1900, her late majesty annexed
the territories and obliterated the SOW
ereignty of the South African repub-
lie. 1t is clear that state which has
annexed another is not legally bound
by any contracts made by the state
Which has ceased to exist. and that mo
court of law has jurisdiction to enforce
such contracts if the annexing state
refuses to recognize them" The blue
book is, in fact, a report of a commits
sion appointed to consider these sub
jects. but the conclusions of the COM
missioners have not yet been accepted
and enunciated by the British govern
