MURDER and SUICIDE
Florida Doctor Kills His Wife
and Ends His Own
Life.

Crescent City, Fla, Feb. 16-Dr.
W. L. Mcleod and his wife were
found dead in their residence this
morning. The occurrence seemed to
disclose that Mcleod had killed his
wife and then himself.
Neither n of the couple had been
seen since last Saturday For several
days it was believed the couple had
left to visit Mrs. McI.eod's sister, who
was reported to be i'll. Their continued
absence led to an investigation today
by the mayor and sheriff.
The bodies were found in the bed
room undressed and two bullet
wounds, both mortal, had been iniflct-
ed on Mrs. Mcleod. It appeared that
her husband then fred the third bull
let through his own brain, as he held
the pistol in his hand when found. 1t
is believed the tragedy occurred last
Sunday night. Doctor Mcleod was a
prominent physician and an ex-city
official,

FIRE STILL RAGING
All Hope for Safety of En-
tombed Miners Has Been
Abandoned.

Vancouver, B. g., Feb. 16-At No.
6 shaft of the Cumberland mine,
where about three score miners are en-
tombed, the colliery management is
now fighting fire with flood.
A special dispatch from Union bay,
late this afternoon, says that No. 8
shaft is closed. Five hose streams are
pouring water into No. 6 through a
gutter constructed to carry the water
of an eight inch main into the mine.
All the unfortunate miners are still
entombed. Pending the flooding no
further action can be taken. All hope
has long since been given up that any
men in shaft No. 6 still live. The
fire continues to burn fiercely. No
man could APPROACH within 100 feet of
the place where the explosion occurred
of the explosion is still unknown or at
least unannounced.
The Hon. Jas. Dunsmuir, premier
of British Columbia and president and
principal owner in the Union Colliery
company, went over to Union in his
own steamer, Joan, this afternoon, i'm
mediately on his arrival from the east
on an overland trip. She will make a
record trip, going at her highest posi-
BILE speed.
Dunsmuir vas handed a telegraph;c
report addressed to him from the SUI
perintendent of the mines at Union.
This report reduces the number OF
miners counted dead from 60 to 81 and
corrects all previous information re-
garding the position of the missing
shift inasmuch as it states that Chi
hese are the chief contributors to the
roll of death.

olEo BILL on TOP
Succeeds Ship Subsidy Measure
as Unfinished Business
of Senate.

Washington, Feb. 16-At the con-
clusion of the morning hour today
when the unfinished business, the
shipping bill, was laid before the
body, Spooner moved to resume the
consideration of the oleo bill. By a
practically unanimous vote, only two
senators voting in the negative, the
motion prevailed.
Thus the subsidy bill was displaced
as the unfinished business and the oleo
bill was placed in that order.
After little owe an hours consider
alton of the Measure it was laid aside
in order that unobjected bills on the
calendar might be considered. A
number of such bills, including 1877
pension bills, were passed during the
day.

RUSSIA WILL IMPOSE RETAIL
IATORY DUTIES.
SERVES FORMAL NOTICE
Tariff Directed Against Machinery
and Steel Goods of Amer
lean Production.

Washington, Feb. 16-Count Cas-
SIM, the Russian ambassador, this
afternoon received a cablegram from
the Russian foreign Office confirming
the report of the issue of the decree
imposing increased duties OH certain
American imports into Russia and
took steps to inform the state depart
ment accordingly.
It is realized that a grave crisis has
been reached in the trade relations be-
tween the United States and Russia.
The immediate effect of the Russian
decree when it becomes operative,
March 1, will be to increase by SO per
cent the duties on American ma
chinery, steel and iron goods. These
goods already enjoy two separate re-
auctions, 80 per cent being taken of
from the general and 20 per cent
from the conventional duties.
The articles referred to in the Rus
sian decree are machinery and tools of
every kind, manufactures and pro-
ducts of cast iron and steel. Roughly
stated the United States is stated to
have exported goods of this descrip-
ton to Russia last year to the amount
Of $50, OOO,O 900. The addition of so
per cent to the duty, will, it is
thought, prove practically prohibit
tory.
The action taken today NEAR that
the Russian government will not con-
Germ itself with a test case, nor await
the issue of such a case. However,
there is an expectation that the
American importers of Russian sugar
will make the fight in their own in
terest. Several cargoes of Russian
sugar are now afloat and Oh the way to
the United States and at least one is
due to arrive in the next 10 days.
1t is not doubted that the consignees
in the United States will, rather than
pay the countervailing duty, which
would make it impossible to compete
with other sugar, make up a test case.
If the result favors the Russian side
then the obnoxious decree will be
amended, though it is not denied the
government officials feel offended.

HOUSE DID LITTLE

Washington, Feb. 16-The house to-

transportation Of silver coin. It was
defeated, 81 to sc. At 4 O'Clock pub
lie business was suspended to allow
the members to pay tribute to the

Incendiaries Continue Operations Against
Chicago Hostelries.

Chicago. Feb. 16-Four additional
fires were discovered during the early
hours of today in the incompleted
Hotel Majestic, where a number of
small incendiary blazes were found

came a clew. Traces of time fuses
were discovered, of a construction that
admitted of their burning for hours
without attracting attention and it is
asserted that a man could have placed

with hours time to spare.

The population OF the state in 1900 Is

in 1890 OF l ,444, 933, representing an in
crease during the decade OF 43S, 1876, or
SO.4 per cent. This is a little higher rate
OF increase than that for the decade from
1880 to 1890, when it was 27.7 per cent,
and a still greater rate of increase than
that for the decade from 1870 to 1880,
when it was 24.S per cent. The numer-
zeal increase for the last decade is also
more than that for the decade from 1850
to 1890, and in fact more than that for
any preceding ten-year period. 1t is OBJ
served that the growth of the state in
population was relatively slow. during the
first h~alf-century OF its history, from 1870
to 1910, and that during that period its
population was but little more than dou-
bled, while in the subsequent sixty years
its population has become more than five
times as large as it was in 1910.

COMMENTS

The redemption OF the standard silver
dollar is the first step toward its ultimate
retirement and those who are opposed to
to its retirement will not be induced to
aid in making it redeemable. When the
gold standard is complete, gold will be
the only legal tender money and bank
notes the only paper money. Until this
end is reached the financiers will depre-
ciate any agitation of the money question
during campaigns and will spend the years
between campaigns urging legislative en-
actments in furtherance OF their plans.

ftable for a time, but the average will

When these se~lf-styled democrats left
the party they said that they preferred

who remained true to the party to sur
render principles in order to secure sue

promise success Notwithstanding the fact
that the defeat of 1894, which came un-
der their leadership, was the most disas-
trous since 1872, and Notwithstanding the
further fact that the ticket which they
nominated in 1896 carried but II pre-
cinct in the United States. 4 \ n The
only way TO insure this harmony is to
insist that the candidate shall be frank

views ON every disputed question. Be
