INSURANCE THIEF A SUICIDE.
C. p. Osborne Kills Himself In Portsmouth.
n ~.

George p Osborne, an employee OF the
Commercial Union Assurance Company
and the Paatine Fire Insurance Company
at So William street, shot and killed him
self in room at the Hotel Rockingham
in Portsmouth, \. H., Yesterday.
A warrant had been issued for Osborne,
charging him with larceny from the com
panies, and the police are seeking two
builders in this city who are accused Of
having been Osborne's coufederates.
One Of the men was arrested last night
and was locked up at Police Headquarters.
The police would not tell his name or any
thing about him. Detective Mcknight
went to Sheepshead Bay in the afternoon
in search of one of them.
The dead mans stealings extended over
a period of about five years and all told
did not amount to more than 5000. He
is supposed TO have got half OF that
"a his share while the builders divided the
rest
Osborne has done the best thing he could
do under the circumstances, said Col
A. W. Wray. manager of the insurance
companies. "He was manager OF the loss
department. His method was to pay
two builders, who were in coiluslon with
him. money for repairs on partly burned
buildings that were never made, and then
divide with them.

LONDON, July II There i- consideral Ia

opening OF ports in Manchura,
The Standard only sees in the announce
ment from Washington an unpleasant illus
lration Of he toItlIolls traditions Of Russian
diplomacy. II says
The contenment semi officially pro-
ftssed at Washington will not De shared
by Great Brit ain ard Japan. Either Ameri-
can statesmen are permitting themselves
to he satisfied with colorado success, or,
as il is not ohscurelv limited, they have
been playing simply for their own hand
and have deserted those who have a COIN
mon object to serve.
an either case they would have been
hoodwinked by familiar form of Oriental
craft We prefer to retain a better opinion
Of their good sense and good faith"
The Graphic, while heartily congratuat-
ing Secretary Of State Hay upon the success
of his firm and consistent diplom acy, re-
marks that the concession exists only in
principle. and says II is important TO bear
this in mind, IA in negotiations with Russia
there is usually wide gap between promise
and performance.
The Daily News on the other hand, is
ptimistic. II congratulates the United
States, not only upon its triumph, but upon
adherng to the doctrine Of a fair field ANA
no favor. That is the principle, il says,
by which the problem OF the Far East may
be- solved peacefully and enduringly, and it
joyfully exclaims "The sky Of the world
is unusually bright to-day"
The Time says: IF this very satisfactory
intelligence proves well-founded the United
States will deserve the congratulations OF
the Powers Who have trade interests in
Mauchuria.
The diplomatic victory, If the reported
issue has been really reached, is the just
reward Of the practical, farsighted method
of negotiations the United States adopted
from he first With statesmanlike direc,ness."
