EDITORS STRANGE DEATH
J. H. Thompson Found IN Room
SoreIy Wounded and Dying.

Jacob H Thompson exchange editor of THE
New-York Times" died last night at Flower
Hospital from injuries received While IN his room
at the St James Hotel, at No. 109 West 4oth-sf
How the injuries were received Is mystery
over which the coroner and the physicians a'
Flower Hospital differ widely.
The physicians say that the wounds indicate
a feIonious assault made upon Mr.. Thompson.
They found that he had sustained a fractured
skull a Iacerated wound of the left ear, deep
penetrating wound back Of the left eye and nv"
scalp wounds. They say that the appearance
of the throat indicates that an attempt was made
at strangulation
The notice and Coroner scholer think that Mr.,
Thompson received the wounds by falling In MS
room. They say that he was subject to fits Of
apoplexy Feeling one of the attacks coming
on. Coroner scholer thinks that Mr. Thompson
made an attempt to reach the telephone. but
fell striking his head against the sharp edges
of a heavy oak bookcase.
Mr. Thomson who was bachelor. had lived
at the St James Hotel for upward of four
years He occupied room No 81, on the fifth
floor front and according to the hotel officials,
kept much to himself
According to Manager wyckoff of the hotel,
Mr. Thompson reached the hotel on Thursday
night at 100 o'clock and went to his room.
Fifteen minutes later he went to the dining

his room. That the last seen of him until
Yesterday morning when chambermaid entered
the room by means of pass key TO make the

The lights were burning. she says, and on the
floor near the door of a closet in which there
is a telephone on the west side of the room, she
found Mr. Thompson in a sitting posture. she
lifted him up and notified Manager Wyckoff, of
the hotel! who summoned the house physician
The views OF Coroner Scholer and the police,
that Thompson got his injuries by fallinS
against the bookcase while suffering from
apoplexy are not shared by the Flower HOS
pital physicians. DR.. Strachan said 1t would De
almost impossible for man TO have sustained
such injuries as Thompson had even II he fell
from a third story window and struck the pave

down and assaulted in most frfghtful way, as
the various wounds indicate. Apoplexy does not
affect men sufficiently to blacken both eyes
Neither will apoplexy fracture the larnyx, which
was done by some one graphing at his throat
A person who makes a statement that this man
is simply victim of apoplexy is evidently I'M
familiar with the case
DR. Dominick the house surgeon, dismissed
the statement of the Coroner and police WIN
It's nonsense; it's rot. pure and simple Ii
it's case of apopleXy. it's the most marvellous
case recorded in medical annals.
Although the coroner is satisfied, and captain
Gallagher is satisfied that Thompson was not

RUSSIA AND THE TARIFF.
Further Duties on american Goods
Unless Terms Are Made.

ST. Petersburg May A.-The attempt to obtain
the revocation of the imposition by Russia OF the
maximum duty on American imports. levied In re-
taaton for the imposition Of a countervaillng duty
by the United States Russian sugars, Is as
Stunning additional Importance owing to the tact
that the new Russo-German tariff. which goes into
effect the end of the year. will form the basis
for most favored nation clause. That treaty
raises the duties machinery and other articles
in which American exporters to Russia are espe-
cIaly interested, and the general or maximum
tariff with corresponding increases, goes into effect
simultaneously. Consequently unless the Russo
American tariff dispute is adjusted, duties on
American imports destined to bear still further
burdens. If the matter is adjusted, the United
States will get the benefit under the favored nation
clause not only of the reductions accorded to Ger
many, but also under the commercial treaty
about to be negotiated with France.
The Russian government seems be sincerely
anxious again TO place the United States the
most favored nation basis but naturally would like
TO see the old conditions restored However, Russia
realizes the difficulty in the matter Of the counter
vailng duty sugar, which, without further legis-
lation was rendered adjudcata by the decision
of the Supreme Court of the UpSed States, and
therefore is willing waive the question of sugar,
but insists upon the removal of maximum duties
on by-products of petroleum imposed by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury which affect English vaseline
and other products manufactured from Russian
naphtha. The Russian government also demands q
guarantee similar to the one in the new Russo
favored nation clause by specifically binding each
country in the future under no circumstances or
preteXt TO levy duties the products of the other
IN excess of those levied similar products of a
third power
Ambassador Meyer has laid the matter before the
State Department and is awaiting instructions.

LIVES WITH TWO BULLETS IN BRAIN.
Baltimore Man Rapidly Getting Well, and
Apparently Almost Normal.

Baltimore. May 21-George Horst, thirty-tw
years old, an employe in a brewery here, May
3 attempted 10 commit suicide, and shot him
self twice in the head. The bullets have not
been removed but he is not only still alive. but
according to present indications will soon be
we'll enough to be out of the house. One of the
bullets entered just above the right ear, while
the other entered just below the right temple
Ordinarily either would have been sufficient to
cause death, but in Horst's they apparently
resulted in nothing more serious than paralysis
of the left and part of the right side, which is
disappearing.
At first it decided to probe for the bull
let's. but this plan abandoned, the physi-
clans in attendance saying they can be removed
at any time in the future. HOrst's mind began
to clear rapidly after the second day, and five
days after the shooting he smoked cigar. His
memory is perfectly good, and he understands
everything going about him.
