MAY HAVE BEEN SUICIDE.
Discovery Of a Bottle With Signed
Note Inside.

The police Of the seventh precinct are
searching in the river above Georgetown for
the body of a man who is supposed to have
committed supicide by jumping overheard
FROM the Chain bridge. Capt, Schneider
was advised by Frank Chism, fourteen
year-old boy, of the probable suicide Chism
turned over to the captain a note that was
found In bottle which washed ashore
short distance this side of the bridge
named. The note reads: This is from S.
Mullen, who was from Round HILL in Lou
dorn county, Va. and jumped overheard
from the Chain bridge. May 7, 1907. Please
ship the body. IL found, to Round Hill, Va"
Ordinarily the police would not have paid
much attention to the finding of the note
but in view of the large number of suicides
recently Capt. schneider thought it best to
investigate. Inspector Boardman has not
communicated with the Loudoun county
officials about the supposed writer of the
note, believing 1t was probably written and
thrown overheard as joke. r.=es5.-
Should body be found In the river the
police will then take some action.

THE SPANISH ROYAL HEIR.
Loyal Spaniards Happy, But kepuoii
cans Are Glum.in New York.

NEW YORK, May 11.-It was with mixed
emotions that the local Spanish colony re-
ceived the news of the birth Of the heir TO
the throne. The loyal Spaniard-that Is, ne
who believes in kings and the present sys-
tenn of government in Spain-was over
joyed that it was boy instead OF a girl.
But the republicans-and there are more OF
them in New York than of the monarchical
Spaniards-made no effort to disguise their
feeling of chagrin. The birth of Alfonso
XIV means a severe setback for their cream
of q Republic of Spain" Most OF these
republicans are Catalonians from Barcelona.
and in Spain are considered as the revolu-
tionary element.

natives of Barcelona when he heard the
news. well. suppose our plans VIII

nize the divine right of the sovereign fam
iv and who would perpetuate the monarchy
to the end of time the feeling was different;
with them 1t was one of exuberant happi-
ness The Spanish consulate received the
tidings early in the day, and the red and
yellow flag of Spain was at once thrown to
the breeze Tomorrow there will. probably
be special services held at the Spanish
chapel. -,
CITY Yesterday all other topics. business or
social, were subordinated to discussion
of the coming of the Spanish hsir and his
future There was unusual demand In
the restaurants along Pearl and Water
streets for the old vintages and a decreased
call for ''rioja ordnario," for the loyal
Castilian would drink the health of his flu
ture king only with the best wine. and, to
complete his patriotic duty, in wine OF his
own country. Those whose name was Al
fonso were expected to invite their COM
patriots with the more prosaic name OF Jose
or Juan to drink with them to their name
sake, and they lived up to their obligation
unbegrudgingly.
The cable announcement also settled not
a few wagers made on the probable sex OF
the baby born to the queen.
In the hotels which Spanish-Americans
frequent there was much interest and ex-
element An event such as that of yes
terday was too joyful for them to recall old
snimosities and the South Americans for
got their long struggle against Spain to
Join In the general tubilation.
