TRIED SUICIDE TWICE.
Nicoll Street Man Uses Gas and the
 River.

Despondent. and thought to be de- mented, through being out of work Charles Carroll of l2 Nicoll street, for merly employed in Winchester's, made two sensational attempts to commit suicide yesterday.
 Awakened about o'clock. Mrs. Car roll found her husband in another room lying on the floor, with the end of rubber tube used on gas stove in his mouth, with the gas turned on full Carroll had but just arranged the tube when discovered and the gas had not had time to take effect. His wife turn ed off the gas and took the tube away from him, and after staying around the house for some time Carroll went out between , and o'clock
 Fearful lest he make another at tempt to take his life Mrs. Carroll notified Patrolman Newburg of the Grand avenue station, telling him of her husbands attempt at suicide and that he had gone in the direction of Orange street.
 The officer followed him, and when Carroll came to the Orange street bridge over Mill river, near East Rock he climbed on the railing and jumped into the river below Patroman Now burg was some distance behind him, and though he saw the man jump, was unable to prevent him.
 Running to the bridge, Newburg dived into the stream, only taking time to throw his helmet one side. He was wearing a heavy uniform coat and, weighted down by his club, revolver and shoes, had considerable difficulty in getting Carroll ashore, as the river, though not wide, is about 10 or 12 feet deep at this point
 Once ashore, Patrolman Newburg took Carroll to a police box and called the patrol wagon.
 At the station house Carroll stated that he wanted to take his life. but otherwise appeared perfectly normal He has q wife and three children.

STEEL TRADE CONDITIONS.
Quarterly Report of significance
 Wall streets Opinion.

New York, Aprl 29--lnlorost iu Wall street u the statement of Che United states Steel corporation, covering the eauuga tor March quarter given out alter the close of business yesterday eantcred in throc Items, un0lod orders ruc surplus ajtcr dividends, and the amount deducted for depreciation and reserve fund The unified orders on March 3l, amounted to 3,i65,3i3 tons compared with i62t553 tons on Decem- her 3l and 60lS,Il2 tons for the corre- spending period of last year. the sur plus after dividends was only $GS65 compared to SlS1Shj76 for the March quarter of l0OI while deductions for depreciation and re2crye fund, amount Ing to S2O69,iio showed e failing off of over %000O00.
 From the small amount of unified orders on hand al the close of the March quarter Wall street concluded that a secondary reaction In the trade had set in, According to figures obtain cd today that conclusion is unwarrant- cd The daily average of new business booked by the Steel corporation dur Ing the month of April up to the 23d, the latest statement avlIlablc was lj,0OO tons, compared with lSOOO tons for the month of March, l2,0)O for Feb ruary 10000 for January, and So00 for December
 Heretofore t had also been believed in many quarters that to prevent a large deficit after lhc payment of divl- dends the management of the Steel corporation had been forced to pinch appropriations for deprcciatious and rehrve fund, In arriving at that con clusion however, wall street neglected to take into account the fact that tho output of the company had hcen re- duced 30 per cent. also that during tho rls, three years Si3,232, l72 had been ie, ducted for depreciation and renewals over and above what was considered normal for such charges That Si3.232,
 ii2 Is now on hand as cash available for such purposes These special deduc lions were made when earnings were llrge enough to provide for any emcr 1 gcncy that might arise.

San Francisco, June 23.-Sochita
Asano, president OF the Togo kiscn
kaisha Steamship Company, reputcd
to be the second wealthiest man IN
Japan. ranking next to Baron Shi.
bnsawa, has arrived hefe en- route to
New York on a financial mission.
Speaking of the boycott against
japanese goods in China. Mr.. Asano
said that Japanese trade had suffered
severely because Of the boycott re-
snlting from the Tassu Maru affair.
but he did not expect it to continue
much longer.
The Chinese were feeling its reflex
influence, and he thought that hnan-
cial considerations would soon out
weigh sentimental reasons
A different version is brought by
Thomas f. Willard. the author. who
was a fellow passenger Of Mr.. Asano
on the steamship Mongolia. Accord
ing to Mr. Willard. the boycott is
hurting japanese trade so severely
that the government. through the
merchants of the empire, called the
Chinese merchants in japan together
~ order to make a proposal TO end
the boycott by RENTING the indem-
nifty exacted in the Tatsu Maru Incl
