sylVanla.
Robert Adams. 81 of Philadelphia, rep
resentative in Congress from the Second
Pennsylvania district, committed suicide
In his apartments in the Metropolitan club
In Washington Friday morning. He
placed the muzzle OF a 32-calibrs revolt
yer in his mouth and fired. The bullet
crushed the top Of his skull so that the
lead could be felt through the scalp. He
evidently walked from his main room to
the bathroom and around the apartment
after he was wounded and 1t was probab-
ly three or four hours before he was
found by a servant of the club. He died
during the forenoon at the Emergency
hospital. He left a note to Speaker Can
non saying that his debts exceeded his
resources and forced him to abandon his
official position but did not indicate any
intentions of taking his life. 1t is thought
that he had lost in the stock market and
was a debtor to men of his class with
whom he had played bridge whist. He
was acting chairman OF the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs in the absence
OF Representative Hit of Illinois and In
this position was in close relation with
the President and cabinet members. Only
the day before he died he managed the
passing OF the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill. He was graduate Of
the University Of Pennsylvania, a lawyer
and had had service In the United States
geological survey, in Pennsylvania state
politics and as minister to Brazil previous
to his election to Congress in 1890. HI
had served continuously in that body eve
since.

residences and etores occupied by Ameri-
cans. The Mexicans secured arms and am
munitlon by dynamiting pawnshops. where
large quantities OF fire arms and cart
ridges were kept A great many OF the
Mexicans had been expecting trouble and
had armed themselves and laid in a store
Of cartridges. Members of the Mexican
police force Joined the strikers and acted
| as leaders of the rioters.
George and Will Metcalf, two Ameri-
cans at the copper mines, were among
those killed. A. S. Dwight, general man.

pany. was slightly wounded. The Ameri.
cans barricaded themselves at Col

sent to the authorities at Washington
asking for the aid OF American troops
and Secretary Root telegraphed Ambas
sador Thompson at the City OF Mexici
asking that the Mexican government TAX

vote. on the measure
Columbia, s. c., Feb. By sub.
stantial majority the house of repre-
sentatives has passed the Morgan bill
which provides for the abolishnent of
the state dispensary. The new meas
ure provides for local option in the
counties; that is, each county may
have a dispensary, under county con-
troll, or prohibition.
The high license feature was elm
mated in order to secure the passage
OF a bill which would remove the dis
pensary as a state institution.
The bill now goes to the senate but
that body has bill of its own which
provides for the retention Of the state
dispensary under new form of man
agement. The question is engaging
more attention than any other matter
before the general assembly. To
forecast the probable action of the SEN
ate on the Morgan bill would be the
merest guess work. AS one senator
has stated, he would not attempt to
forecast the action of the higher body
until the vote was taken.
1t was rumored in the lobbies that
the Morgan bill at this time had a
majority of six votes in the senate. AS
the bill will hardly be up in the senate
for a. week or ten days, it is impossi-
BILE to say what the sentiment may be
at that time.

VESSEL AND CREW

Such Is Supposed Fate of The
Schooner Ramirez.
NO VESSEL HAS REPORTED HER

Bound From New York to Brunswick,
Ga, The Ship Has Now Been Out
Forty-one Days and Has Not Been
Seen or Sighted.
Brunswick, Ca, Feb. 3.-It is more
than probable that the schooner Pope
Ramirez, Captain Jordan, has been
wrecked at sea with all on board. This
schooner sailed from New York for
Brunswick on Dec. 13 and has not
since been heard from. No vessels
arriving at this or other ports have
reported her
Two or three other schooners which
sailed from New York on the same
date arrived in this port five or six
days afterwards. 1t was at first
thought that the schooner had proba-
bly, been blown off her course, but the
indications are now that she has gone
down with the captain and crew She
has now been out from New York Al
days, and even had she been blown off
her course, something would have been
heard of her.
The Ramirez has been regular
trader at this port for more than ten
years. She is LAG feet long and 80
feet wide. She was built in Columbus
Falls, Me-, in 1898, and hailed from
New York
The schooner was bound to this port
for cargo of cypress lumber from
the, Altamaha Cypress Lumber com
pany. The value of the cargo is not
known.
Captain Jordan was among the most
popular sea captains coming to this
port and had many friends who will
regret to learn Of the probable loss
Of his vessel.

go to depths, in places, of 5000 faith
Oms, and often in the past when breaks
