RUM UIUIO IS OHIO.
ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE?
Ths lacUah Jew, Who Obm Controlled
503,000,009. OiM U Mld-Ooesn.
On board the British steamship Scot,
which left Cape Town for Southampton
ton was Barney Barnato, the South
Africa Iiinmond King, who, it was an
nounced, had leaped overboard - from
that vessel. - His body was recovered.
It Is also reported that he accidentally
rolled overboard.
There is no doubt that financial worry
the Inst year or so, accentuated by
events since the Jameson raid, have
been the cause of his supposed ment il
breakdown.
.Barr.ato must assuredly leave a gi
gantic fortune, since he spent little on
himself and could not be honestly taxed
with any kind of excesses. At the same
time he was never popular here. The
people regarded him as the worst type
possible of the Hnanclal parvenu, and
the respect felt for his marvelous ad
ministrative ability was about the only
sentiment currently entertained regard
ing him.
The late Barney Bnrnato was In many
respect the most remarkable specu
lator of the century. Of all the Eng
lishmen who hnve taken part In the
development of South Africa, two only
have secured a world-wide reputation.
These have been Cecil Rhodes and Har
nett Isaacs, more often and less respect
fully styled Harney. Barnato was an
assumed name, a sort of stHge name,
for he began his life In South Africa by
exhibiting a trick donkey about 25
years ago. He was then about SO years
of age.
Barnato wos an English Jew, and il
lustrated in an extraordinary way the
financial genius of his race. t"p to the
point where his fortunes began to de
cline he made money by leHps and
bounds, and in 1K9S, when his good
fortune was at its zenith. It was estimat
ed that he controlled Interests In the
neighborhood of a hundred million
pounds. It was the fashion to call him
the richest man In the world.
The renter of this tremendous flnano
Inl outburst was Harney Barnato. and
he was conservatively estimated at
that time as worth between 1100.000,000
and l".0,ono,000. Among his assets was
a hank originally capitalized at 115.500.

Tha Horrible Harder of a Mexican Cmng
glsr.
A letter has been received at San An
tonio, Tex., giving an account of the
horrible death meted out to Alfredo
Carrizale. n Mexican smuggler, by his
enemies. The murder took place in Za
valla county, Tex. Carriznles was rill
ing along the road near Carrlzo, when
he was tired on from ambush. He was
shot through the body, and the man
who did the shooting tied the wounded
man to the tall of his horse and dragged
him through the c-icti and prickly pear.
The horse wns then stopped and the
wounded Mexican placed In a sitting
position and live more shots fired into
his body. lie was left for dead, but w,is
alive nnd coyotes gnawed out what
little life remained. Juan Garrc.i has
been arrested, charged with the crime.

was opposed as nn interference with

TREATY DISCUSSED,

Baited States FroUeUea.
Since the passage of the sugar sche
dule of the new tariff, which Is aald to
place not less than $5,000,000 a year in
the hands of the sugar trust, there) baa
been a fervent desire on the rar,t ot
many congressmen to annex the Hawai
ian islands. t
Others declare that a new treaty is
necessary as the Importations from
Hawaii are greater than the export
ations and that the benefits of the
treaty are entirely with the Hawaitans.
It is also rumored that President Mc
Kinley Is looking towards the placing
of the islands under the protection of
the stars and stripes.
Senator Nelson said that the claim
that we owe it to Hawaii to continue
the reciprocity treaty because of the ac
quisition of Pearl harbor is not well
founded, as Pearl harbor had been ac
quired under the first treaty and an
ample price had been paid for that
harbor. He said the United States had
paid $15,000,000 only for the Louisiana
purchase, yet in tariff remissions on su
gar alone there had been paid $31,000,000
for Pearl harbor. Senator Frye claimed
that President McKlnley Is prepared to
enter upon a negotiation for a more mo
dified treaty and added that the Haw
aiians are willing to meet him half way
in the work. Senator Thurston an
nounced himself to be decidedly in fav
or of abrogation, though he Is, he said,
a believer In the wisdom of annexing
the Hawaiian Islands to the United
States. He said that if the present ar
rangement, which gives the Hawaiian
Sugar Trust an annual gratuity of $9,
000,000, Is to be continued In connection
with the gratuity voted to the American
trust, which amounted to not less than
$5,000,000 a year, it would be utterly Im
possible to defend the course of the
Republican party.

From Washington to Tennessee,
from north to south, greeted by both
blue and gray, the nation's chief made
his way to the great Nashville Exposi

the peopM were not disappointed.

In the afternoon the President ana
Mrs. McKlnley held a reception and In
the evening they viewed a grand dis

Gov. Taylor of Tennessee made the
address of welcome, which was re

and President McKlnley. The Gov
ernor expressed the hope that the bond
between the two states might grow
stronger year by year. The President
said In part:

American nationality compared with

ancestry, with fond anticipations not
only of its founders, but faith in its

thes anticipations have been grandly
realized, that the present of this com

Objeeted to Black Gowne.
At a meeting of the General Council
of the Reformed Episcopal Church It
was decided by a majority vote that
only the black gown should be worn
by members of the clergy. This action
aroused the displeasure of many in at
tendance, and Bishop Cheney retired
from office, many others following suit.
On account of the action of the council,
Miss Harriet S. Benson has withdrawn
a trust fund from which source the
church derives a benefit of $13,000 a
year.
Bo Canae for Anxiety.
Stanton Sickles, secretary of the
United States ministry at Madrid, Is
quoted as saying there Is no cause for
anxiety regarding the relations be
tween the United States and Spain.
President McKlnley has not settled
upon a definite policy toward Cuba,
according to Mr. Sickles. The presi
dent will probably wait to hear from
the retiring United States minister as
to what course to take. j
