BANKERS KILL THEMSELVES
President Brown and Cashier Candy of
Vancouver Die Together.


Vancouver, Wash. April 22.-Charles
Brown and Il. L. Candy, president and
cashier respectively of the First Ma
tlonal bank of Vancouver. which was
closed Saturday by the comptroller of
the currency, committed suicide two
miles from this city by shooting them
selves with Il revolver. Their bodies
were found on the outskirts Of the
town. They both used the same
weapon and Candy evidently died first
as the revolver was found in Browns
hand 1t is evident that Candy put
the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth
and then blew the top of his head off.
Brown then took it and shot himself
in exactly the same way, falling over
Canby'S body
The fact that Browns bicycle and an
umbrella belonging to Candy were
found short distance out of town led
to the belief that the two bank officials
had taken their lives. Sunday morn
ing searching party started out and
after several hours hunt the bodies
We're found in the clump of bushes
Friday evening Candy, upon being
told by Bank Examiner Maxwell that
| the bank would not be permitted to
open Saturday. went out in the yard
behind the bank and attempted to
shoot himself. His revolver failed to
explode. Candy came back into the
bank, and he and President Brown
left together later, taking his revolver.
When Examiner Maxwell confronted
the bank officials with the shortage of
$4,000 which he had discovered, both
men admitted their guilt. 1t is said
that both Brown and Candy had been
specializing in stocks. Beside Browns
body there was found package con-
tanning S25, and note saying that
the money belonged to his daughter.
Brown. who was 81 years Of age, has
lived in Vancouver since 1862. Candy
was 70 years old and was we'll con-

JAPAN'S BOLD STAND

Yokohama, April 12-Via Victoria,
April 24.-There is no doubt that ia
pans deadly earnestness in her in
tention to draw the sword against Rus
sia should the latter persist in her
designs on Manchuria has saved the
situation in Manchuria. Everything
was ready for the blow, with eyery
vessel in the navy ready, and with an
army of 100000 ready at moments
notice. This was thoroughly known
at st. Petersburg, and it became the
determining factor in bringing about
Russians backdown. The latter has
made fatal blunder in her generally
astute diplomacy
few weeks ago there was general
disposition to let her have Manchuria.
as a recognition Of her manifest des-
tiny. but her attempt to make a Sc
cret and independent treaty with
China, has made all that thing of
the past.
Japan is In no mood now to let the
matter rest with the simple rejection
of the Manchuria convention. Having
pricked the bubble of Russia's preten-
sion and revealed the weakness of the
northern power it is most significant
that "A hours have not elapsed without
an almost unanimous demand on the
part of the press of this empire that
vet bolder stand be taken, and that

WOOD is SANGUINE.
GOVERNOR GENERAL TALKS ABOUT
AFFAIRS IN THE ISLAND.
Makes Hurried Trip to This Country for
Purpose of Introducing to President Nc
kinley the Five Members of the Cuban
Commission.

New York. April 24.-General Leon
ard a. Wood, governor general of
Cuba, with Mrs. Wood and his pri-
vate secretary, arrived here last night.
General Wood expects to return to
Havana tomorrow. General Wood did
not hesitate to talk about affairs in
Cuba.
THE object of my hurried visit here, "
he said, lis to introduce the five mem
bers of the special commission on for
eign relations appointed by the Cuban
constitutional convention to see Presi-
dent Mckinley. The members of the
commission represent all the different
groups of CubanS composing the con-
stitutional convention. They have
come to the United States for the pur-
pose of comforting with President Nc
hinley on matters which the conven-
ton does not thoroughly understand
and when they return and make their
report | am convinced there will be
a thorough understanding
'The constitutional convention has
never voted on or rejected the Platt
amendment. This l can state posi-
lively. Notwithstanding the reports to
the contrary, which have been sent to
the United States from Havana.
"Chings have been cabled here which
had not the slightest foundation III
fact, which described strained rela-
lions between the representatives of
the United States and the Cuban peo-
pie. Evrything has been harmonious
since went to Cuba and the conven-
ton now in session is thoroughly
representative one. Before the Platt
amendment was passed by congress,
the Cubans knew the desires of the
government, which the amendment
contains. Intervention and the estab-
lishment of naval stations are the two
things which they don't properly CON-
prehend, and think that when they
are fully explained in Washington,
the only indication of a difference of
opinion will have been removed.
There are really but two great ques-
t1ons vet to be settled. One is the re-
duction Of the duty on sugar and the
other is the passage Of the constitu-
ton. One is economic and the other
political, vet in measure they are
akin. After the constitution has been
properly framed and adopted the eco
nomic question will disappear. as there
must be great reduction in the duty
on sugar. Then Cuba will be pros
porous and its relations with the Unit
ed States settled on solid basis.
That will end the whole difficulty and
in "a hours the country can be turned
over to the representatives chosen by
the Cuban people. Today all the de-
partments of the island are practically
In the hands of the Cubans. who have
been instructed as to how things can
be managed and when the time ar
rives all we will have to do is to take
receipt of the money on hand.'
