time last week, when William Huehne,
a bachelor, ended his life by first
stabbing himself three times with a
large pocket knife, and, to make his
work complete, sent a rifle bullet
through his brain. Little is known of

years ago and made homestead set

A Case Of Suicide.
Charles Swayne, a neighbor, dis
covered the dead man in his cabin Fri
day. and from the best information
obtainable, he had not been seen
since Tuesday morning. Sheriff Frank
Ferguson was Immediately notified and
went to the scene, taking with him
Justice of the Peace Frank Willett
Of Addy. A thorough inspection of the
premises was made. The door being
fastened on the inside left little doubt,
Of suicide, but it was deemed best to
thoroughly probe the circumstances,
and a coroner's jury was empaneled.
On the floor beside the dead man was

evidently been placed in the right eye
and the force of the shot had abso-
lutely torn the entire top of his head
away. On stripping the dead man
there was one knife wound on the
right side and two on the left in the
region of the heart, which. there seems
no doubt, were selfinficted. On a
shelf near the door was found a large
pocket knife, such as hunters usually

Huehne was a short, thick-Set man,
weighing probably 165 pounds. He
wore short light mustache. being
otherwise smooth shaven. He was
apparently under 80 years of age. A
stenographer's tablet was found in
the cabin with many pages of mystic
characters inscribed therein. This
was brought to Colville and given to
Miss Inez Perkins. county stenographer
to decipher. but as she is not familiar
with his chirography, nothing definite
with reference to the man could be

complement of over 800 were killed
or wounded, and we lost of our own
brave fellows near $50. The suf-
ferings of the wounded were most
terrible and many died on the run
to this place, Notwithstanding the
skill and devotion of both the British
and American surgeons. Full lists of
the killed and wounded will be trans
mitted later.
1t is with great regret that I
chronicle the further melancholy fate
of our noble ship. She was SO cut
up and wrecked that in spite of every
effort it was impossible to save her
and the second morning after the
fight she sank, going down bow fore
most with the fine silk American COL
ors under which she fought flying
from her gaff end. The commodore
left the dead in her, vowing they
could wish no better coffin. The pris-
'oners say they never met such des-
perate nghting, in which our men
agree They say they could sink us,
but not conquer us. True, America
never will be conquered by Britain.

VICTORIA, r. c.. July 21.-"A

in this part of the country calls the
Chinese servant. and l have yet to
meet the person who does not agree
that the problem of comfortable and
economical living is solved by the
little yellow man from the Kingdom
of the Sun.
couver are bewailing the effect of
the law passed by the Canadian gov
ernmcnt about Is months ago placing
"A head tax of $500 ON all Chinese
immigrants. The immediate effect of
this has been TO increase the cost of
a Chnaman in the kitchen from SIS
to $50 and $25 month.
There is an almost unanimous pref
erence In all this country for the
Chinese as compared with the Japan
ese servant. The statement may be
made broader; there is growing
prejudice against the Japanese in all
capacities.
The Chinese who comes to Canada
is content to be servant. That is
his chief recommendation. While the
Japanese cook will be found reading
a textbook ON botany, or algebra, and
who is burning the midnight oil to
prepare himself to be professor In
IA Japanese college. the Chinese, In
the same position. is content To leave
book learning and the high places In
life to the Caucasian race, While the
Jap is In monthly danger of going tc
another place where more wages may
be had. or of leaving to return to his
native land. the Chinese Is faithful
and couteuted to remain.

he will not lie. The Jap, on the
other hand. will spin plausible yarh.
The Chinaman is always respect
full: his patience is inexhaustible; he
may not show any great amount of
feeling, but he does not take offense.
He is quiet; he is never i'll; he is
neat, economical and Industrious. He
does all the work that maid
servant will do, and in addition splits
the wood, makes the fires. cuts the
grass and does all the work of an
out side man.
Both Chinese and Japs are excel
lent cooks. They seem to have a
special knack for pastry. They are
good buyers. and many householder
finds ii cheaper to let All Wing do
the buying than to do it himself.
Wing lives at home-that is he
goes home nights, somewhere. to
Chinatown. to his pipe, his Chinese
lottery, his inveterate small gam
bling, and mild dissipations. But he
is always ON hand In the morning;
or II he is not there, there is another
little yellow boy who looks SO much
like him. and who fits 50 easily into
his place that the householder gets
half through breakfast before discov-
ering the change.
Mr.. w. G. Nichol, editor and pro-
prietor of the Vancouver Daily Prov
ince, would like to see the Chinese
given free admission and have the
Japanese kept out entirely.
Il am in favor of excluding Chi
