BRITISH OFFICER COULD NOT
SURVIVE DISGRACE.
General Macdonald Of the British
Army, Who Was to be courtmar-
tailed, Suicides at Hotel In
Paris.

Major General Hector Macdonald,
commanding the British forces In Cey'
Ion. and one OF the foremost officers
in the British army, against whom
charges based on immoral acts were
filed some time ago, committed suicide
at the Regina hotel in Paris Wednes.
day. He shot himself in the right tenn
pie shortly after noon, and expired a
few minutes later. The general was
alone in his small chamber at the time
Of the tragedy.
Sir Hector Macdonald arrived In
Paris last Friday evening from Lon.
don, on his way back to Ceylon, where
Il was understood that an immediate
courtmartial would be held to clear up
the charges made against him. The
tragic end of Fighting Mac" who, as
the son of a Highlander. rose from a
position of a Diapers assistant to be
an honored general in the army, has
caused great surprise and deep sorrow
In London. The nature of the offenses
with which he was charged had not
been generally known, but had been
common gossip in military circles, and
although in the army and among his
Highlander comrades especially, there
Is keen grief, the feeling Is that 1t was
better to die thus than face dlshonor.
Sir Hector MacDonald's great chance
came when, as sergeant, during the
Afghan campaign in 1879 and 1880,
with a small force, he by a furious
bayonet charge, cleared out body Of
Afghans who were lying in ambush for
Lord Roberts. For this feat Lord Rob-
erts offered him the choice of the
Victoria Gloss or commission. He
chose the latter. His greatest military
achievement was leading the black
Soudanese brigade in the Omdurman
campaign against the Khalifa.

Wriaht,s Meteoric Career.

Whitaker Wright is accused Of los
ing to British investors more than
$100,000,0OO He promoted forty-one
companies, having a total capitaliza-
ton of S111,775, 600, and all have
failed or gone into liquidation.
For several years Whitaker Wright
was the meteor of the financial world
in London. When he began his
career as a promoter in the British
capital no one knew him. He was re-
puted to have made millions in the
mines in West Australia. He began
business in no small way. He aston
ished all England by inducing the
late marquis of Dufferln to accept the
presidency of one of the first com
panies he floated-the London and
SloOe Finance corporation The
company was capitalized for $1,000
900 and offered its stock for sale. The
investing public, lulled into security
by the name of the Marquis of Duifer,
in, purchased the shares with avid.
ity The London and Globe invested
the money thus poured into its treas.
ury in many enterprises. Worst Of
all, it paid s3,75O,OOO for the Baker
Street and Waterloo Underground
railway-and it failed
While the London and Globe COM
pany was at the flush of its popular.
ity with the investing public Wright
organized the STANDARD Exploration
company" Both companies were
capitalized for millions. Both paid
one or two dividends on a magnih-
cent scale, and the public simply
threw its money into Whitaker
Wright's lap.
Then one company after another
was organized. The public bought
stock eagerly, Money was paid into
Wright's hands by millions. He was
at the pinnacle of his success. He
spent millions of dollars for his own
personal qualification. He owned
almost a palace in Park lane next to
the famous mansion Of the marquis
of Londonderry. He purchased a
country home upon which he spent
money like water. He filed it with
rare works of art, paintings and
statuary. He owned steam yachts
and gave layishly to charity.
Then came the crash. The London
and Globe company failed on Dec. %,
1900, dragging down nearly a score
of London firms with it. Then, one
after another, the remaining forty
companies organized by Whitaker
Wright crumbled. Investors lost
everything.
