ONE DIES WHILE DRINKING A GLASS OF BEER, AND NOTE FOUND IN HIS POCKET GIVES CLUE TO CLUB.

Chicago, June IA letter found in the possession of L. Wachman, a traI cling salesman who committed suicide in North Clark street saloon early today. of a New York Suicide Club. From pas sages in the letter it Is thought that an- other member of the club committed sui eide last week in New York city. Wach-t man fell dead while being served with al glass of beer. Physicians who examined' the body declared 1t was case of poison ing. The letter which leads to the theory that suicide was premediated affair wasl from T. Wulff, New York, dated May 25 The missive was written in German and, was poorly spelled. From such parts of 1t. however as could be understood It. was gathered that Wulff and Wachmans belonged to an organization the members of which pledged themselves to end their lives. One of the passages read: "Will. commit suicide at once, and am sorry. that we could not be together and end 1t. |, I had thought that wetcould do this bus- ness together"
 Wuln also says thatjhe has left a note. under the door of Mo-, POP - street" The name of the street. Is not given. but 1t is believed by the police authorities that the street mentioned may be the headquarters of the Suicide Club
 The New York authorities have been, asked to investigate the matter.

 of Respect to Martinique Victims.

Paris. June 1.-The new; French cham Der of deputies met thist afternoon for the first time. The house Nand the gal ieries were crowded. M. Ra.uline tright- ist), the oldest member of the chamber. presided and delivered the inauguration speech in which he appealed for parlia- mentary peace. Concluding his allusions to the Martinique disaster M. Rauline said:
 Tn behalf of the chamber of deputies I address the homage of our grief and sympathy to the terribly afflicted popu- lation of Martinique"
 After the inaugural speech the elec- tion of the provisional president of the, chamber which Is invariably ratified was taken up. M Deschanel. (moderate, republican,. the president of the former chamber. was opposed by M. Leon Bour- geois who represented the radical groups. M. Deschanel was defeated by a vote of 3O3 to 267. His defeat In view of the re- suit of the general election of April 27, which gave the radicals a majority in' the house occasioned no surprise. The, election of M. Bourgeois, however, in- dicated to President Loubet where to choose successors to the ministry of M. Waldeck- Rousseau. Various lists of al new ministry have already been brought forward, but nothing In this respect Isl certain. It is likely that M.
