SOUGHT DEATH BY POISON.
Mrs. Ada Hardy Was Tired of Life
and Wanted to Die.

While in a melancholy and despondent
mood Mrs. Ada Hardy, a young woman
residing at 1858 Warehouse Alley. in
Georgetown made fruitless attempt to
end her life shortly after o'clock last
night by drinking a small quantity OF
laudanum. Relatives of the unfortunate
woman saw her commit the act and at
once summoned the police.
She was removed Immediately to the
Georgetown University Hospital in the
patrol wagon. Upon arriving there Mrs.
Hardy was unconscious and was at first
thought to be in a serious condition. By
energetic work on the part OF the sur
geons consciousness was restored. 1t was
stated at late hour last night that the
wOman's condition was greatly improved
and there was very little danger OF her
dying.
When asked by the surgeons as to why
she had swallowed the laudanum Mrs.
Hardy said she was tired of life and
wished to die. The woman is married
and has two children and a husband, all
of whom reside at the above number.

SPECIAL GRAND JURY TO CONVENE

iIan Charged with Hcinous
OTcnce-Net weather Re-
duccs Church Attendance

| ALEXANDRIA,. Va, Nov. 24.-Judge ].
| NJ Love, of the Alexandria County Court.
has summoned a special grand jury to
meet tomorrow in the courthouse, on Fort
Myer Heights. at 10 O'Clock. for the pur-
pose of investigating the case against
Samuel Thompson. cOlored. now confined
in the county jail on the charge Of an
attempted criminal assault upon Nirgie
Smith. also colored, aged twelve years.
If the prisoner is indicted his trial will
occur some time This week. TIE prose-
cution will be conducted by Acting Com
monwealth Attorney James E. Clements.
So far Thompson has not secured counsel,
although he has made an effort to do SO.
The alleged offence is said to have been
committed on a night in October. The fol-
lowing morning Thompson was arrested
on warrant sworn out by the father of
the girl. He was taken before Magistrates
Birch and Moody, and, after being given
preliminary hearing, his case was referred
20 the grand jury. Thompson is about
twenty eight years of age.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather
the services at the different churches
were but slimly attended. The services
at the Second Presbyterian Church were
conducted by the Rev A. G. Link, OF Stras-
burg, Va. The first mass at St Mary's
Catholic Church was celebrated by Rev
Father NJ. J. Ahern, and the second mass
by Rev. Father H. ]. Cutler. The services
at the First Baptist Church were to-
night conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Belts.
of Washington. The services ct the Rail
road Reading Rooms were this afternoon
conducted by d. p Sigourney, of the The
illogical Seminary. The services at the
other churches we're conducted by the
resident pastors.
So far the police have been unable to
locate William Mangle, colored, who, last
night about O'Clock, shot MaTy Hender-
son, also cOlored. The shooting occurred
in Pollard's Alley. just north of King
Street, near Henry Street. Mangle fired
two shots. One of them entered the wo-
mans hip. and the other flew wide of its
mark. The Henderson woman is doing as
well as could be expected. The general
impression among the police seems to be
that Mangle has left the city. a warrant
has been issued for his arrest. The Hen
derson woman did not make known the
particulars leading up to the shooting

Peculiar complication at Skagway in
Regard to Bonded Goods.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, April 5.
brought by the steamer Dolphin to-
day, a peculiar complication in the
customs business at Skagway has
come up relative to bonded goods
passing through Skagway. Three
river steamers belonging to the White
Pass and Yukon Company arrived at
Skagway in bond. They were entered
as British bottoms without cargo.
They are billed to White Horse, and
are being dismantled for shipment
over the railroad, piece by piece. An
American and a British custom officer
are stationed on each boat The own
ers of the boats will not break up the
hulls nor ship such portions as are
injured in dismantling, and the Gus
toms officer at Skagway is trying to
find out what to do with what is left
and whether he can collect duty on
portions of vessels not shipped. The
company says it will burn what is left
of the vessels, but that does not sat

written the department for instruc-
tiOns.

REDUCING OUR FLEET.
Warships to Be withdrawn From the
Asiatic Station.


WASHINGTON, April 6.-The pros.
pective reduction of the United
States naval force on the Asiatic sta.
ton is beginning to assume definite
form, but thus far the matter has not
been considered by the president, nor
has Secretary Long had an oppor-
tunity to confer with Rear Admiral
Remey. But the naval bureau OF nav.
lgation, which has charge of the as
signment of ships to the various sta
tions, has proposed that there be a
reduction Of the force on the Asiatic
station. This has been based on a
recommendation of the needs of the
navy and without reference to any
Of the political questions involved.
Should it be decided to reduces the
force, the homeward movement of
vessels would probably not begin be-
fore summer. AS yet no consideration
has been given to the disposition of
the ships when they are relieved from
service in the far East. 1t is said,
however, that the North Atlantic
squadron will be augmented by at
least one or two ships, while the
South Atlantic and Pacific stations
also will be reinforced. Quite num-
ber of ships will have to go out OF
commission, as they have seen long
service in tropical waters and will
need pretty general overhauling.

AGREED TO sY CANADA.
Will Examine all Cattle Destined 70
United States.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-As a re-
suit of negotiations between Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson and the Cana
dian minister of agriculture, an agree
ment has been reached between the
two administrations by which Canada
Is to have first-class veterinarian sta
toned in England to test for tuber-
culosis all British cattle shipped to
this country via Canada. The Cana
dian administration wanted cattle to
be admitted from Canada without tests
at the border by American experts.
The department at Washington would
not agree to this. Secretary Wilson
said, however, that IL Canada would
send to England an agent who should
have sufficient expert knowledge of
the subject, the United States would
admit cattle upon his certificate that
the cattle had been tested and found
free of tuberculosis. This was agreed
to by the Canadian minister. 1t is
officially explained that about 10 per
cent of the livestock in the United
States and about 40 per cent in Great
Britain have tuberculosis, The cattle
on the continent Of Europe are so dis
eased that this government will not
permit the admission of any animals
from there.

sire TO retain possession of the island
he pointed out that the Platt amend.
ment was drawn primarily with the
view to protecting a weak nation
against outsiders, as well as again o.
internal strife, and would not inter.
tere with Cuban independence. He
explained that the Washington inter,
probation of clause of the scheme
OF relations was that the limited
states claimed the right to intervene
solely for the purpose of preserving
the independence of the island. main.
tanning an adequate force to protect
llIe, property and individual liberty

posed by the treaty of Paris upon the

ION tnat In drawing up treaty MANY
points IN the future relations of Cuba

plalned to meet present objections.
The delegates retired apparently
pleased with the interview. Senior
Portuondo said he thought everything
would be settled satisfactorily. He
was in favor of the appointment of a
commission to go to Washington, and
expects favorable results from such a
step.
Orders were issued today directing
the holding of municipal elections
throughout Cuba June 1. There will
be 10 days for registration, beginning
