swallowed the contents of an ounce bottle
of cariljallc acid and died in half an hour.
No reason is known why she should com-
mit suicide, but the fact that she took the
entire contents of the bottle of burning
acid is looked upon by some as proof that
she meant to kill herself. The deceased

ion in the harbor this afternoon and one
man lost his life as the result. The steam-
ship Mana, Captain Tudbull, bound for

THE FRENCH DERBY.
All of Paris Takes a Day Off and
Goes to Witness the
Races.
THE GERMAN SOCIALISTS,
Everything Quiet in Bulgaria Since Change
of Ministers—Dissatisfaction in Blue-
fields—The San Francisco at Colon.
Paris, June 3.—All tlie sporting world of
Paris went to Chnntlilv to-day to witness
the race for the Prix du Jockey club, the
French dorby for 3-year-oldn. The money
value of the rase was 138,600 francs—$27,720.
The distance wma a mile and a half. The
race was won by tlospodar, chestnut colt,
by Gamin out Of Georgiana. Troujours, a
bay colt, by Relreat out of Toto, was sec-
ond, and Stlx, a bay colt, by Tristan out
of Slmonno the Second, third. The posted
odds were 15 to .1 against tlospodar; 4 to I
against Stix. There were twelve starters.
Englander was Mrst away and made the
running to the rise, followed by Gouver-
nante, Troujours, LaPierre and Stix in the
order named. When the rise was reached
Stlx was given his head and he was soon
In the lead. He showed the way to the
strait, but Gospbdar here overtook him,
and after a short run took the lead and
was not afterward h' ided, winning by two
lengths in front of Troujours, who in turn
was two lengths ahead of Stix.
tlospodar and Mis jockey were attacked
by a mob when they were returning 'to the
paddock, but were protected from serious
inlury by the police. Loud imprecations
against the stables of Mr. Cunnington, ''»•?
owner of the winner, were heard on the
turf and In the paddock, tlospodar, al-
though a favorite for the grand Pole des
Braud'.ts a fortnight ano. ran unplaced in
that race and was beaten by U.iuvernante
Ills victory to-day therefore induced the
belief that he had not been ridden fairly
in the former race. Mr. Cunnlngton is an
English trainer and nuuer who has for a
long time been settled in France.
LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
London. June 3.—There is no sign of a
cessation of the Influx of gold to the Bank
of England, the stock bullion of which has
reached the record of fIK000,000, while the
reserve Is nearly £28,000.000. The high price
of the best securities prevents the bank
from investing. Discount during the week
was weak at & to & Silver was dud,
owing to a slackening of demand of China.
The features of the stock exchange were
the absence of speculation and the high
price of investment securities. Argentines
were flat on the advance in the gold pre-
mium. Nothing lias vet come of the nego-
tiations of tile Argentine loan in Lon-
don. The European cabinet crises hardly
affected rtwi market., Turkish securities
advanced on rumors of a consolidation of
the Turkish loans.
The retirement of Sir Edward v\ atkins
from all the railroad positions occupied
by him is welcomed as promising more
amicable working among the passenger
lines.
Business in American railroad securities
was reduced to a minimum, but at the
close of the week tin market had a rather
better tendency. The decision of the Erie
board to suspend the Issue of new bonds
until the settlement of the pending litiga-
tion was generally well received. Lake
Shore, New York Central and Heading first
advanced y2 on the week. Louisville de-
clined 1%. Denver preferred 1. Atchison
shared Illinois Central and Erics »i
each, Union Pacitli'. Norfolk and Western,
Erie seconds ami \\ I'bash Vj- Most of the
southern lines show-sl a fractional decline.
The Vanderbllt stu.lis were better. Cana-
dian (Pacific declined on a bad April state-
ment. Grand Trunk recovered. Guaran-
teed rose while the other securities of
that line showed pactional advances.

San Francisco, t'al., June 3.—Waiter O.
Smith, formerly editor of the Hawaiian
Star, sends to the Associated Press from
Honolulu a copy of the following self-ex-
planatory letter, received by him from
President Dole:
Honolulu, May 1894.—My Dear Sir:

publican ieague "f the United States, which

you that it would he unwise for the pro-
visional government or the political or-
ganizations whi'li support it to become

United Stales, w!r all contain friends and
advocates of the annexation policy. I feel
that it would be i -asy matter to find one
who could repres the cause of Hawaii
before the convenn n with more eloquence
and enthusiasm thui yourself. A request

MANCHK- i'ER MARKET.
Manchester, June 3.—The aggregate of
business probab ■ quails tih.* production,
but it is very ti ^niy distr.buted. The
transactions have /tisisted largely of sales
of stock lots of otnimon shirtings for
wide c-v'" ■ for Josaa and aisit
the lienor cloths for Madras and Calcutta.
The prices made were unsatisfactory and
the China demand was not quite filled. The
feeling ,s more hopeful. A good Indian
bus it is expected .1 the monsoon breaks
favorably.
The smaller markets were not active.
Tile home trade was dragging.
in yarns there was a fair business, w.th-
oui improvement In the working margins,
tn cotton advanced rather faster than
yarns. The stocks, however, were less
burdensome, generally sneaking. Order
books are rather empty. Many of the ni.lls
are running on tne short time. This is
especially tne .use among the looms 'work-
ing for uhe home trade. Profitable busi-
ness 1 ".still scarce.
Germany reports continued good orders
for yarn and elorh. French spinners are
also well engaged.
BULLET-PROOF ASSURANCE.
London, June 3.—Herr Dowe, the Inventor
of the so-called bullet-proof coat, lias writ-
ten a letter to the Times offering to for-
feit the purchase money to anyone who
buys his cuirass if it contains either iron
or Steele. He declares that his Invention
Is for sale at a price much under the 11200,-
oon mentioned in the newspapers.
Mr. Maxim, whose "invention" of a bul-
let-proof material was tested a few days
ago, has written to the paper stating that
his first letter declaring that he could in a
few hours invent a bullet-proof materal
superior to Herr Dowe's, was merely a
joke. He still claims, however, that he
has produced a lighter shield, which is just
as effective as Herr Dowe's. Mr. Maxim
declares that the whole subject of bullet-
proof clothing is a farce. Prepared steel,
he says, is the best HU'bstance In the world
for stopping bullets. He adds that he has
sufficient evidence to convince him that
Dowe's cuirass contains ft hard plate.
CRKSPI'S VICTORY.
London, June 3.—A dispatch to the Times
from Rome says the vote In the chamber
of deputies deferring until Monday the
discussion of the motion made by Prime
Minister Crispi in regard to the appoint-
ment of a committee to present a measure
for reforming the expenses of the public
service was the most important victory
th.it ohe government has gained at this
session. It put the government for t'he first
time in a relatively safe position, while
the tactics of the opposition were exposed
and defeated. It Is 'believed 'the opposition
hoped to displace Signer Sonnlno, minister
of the treasury, rather than Prime Minister
Crispi. and to force upon the latter a
remodeling of Ills cabinet.
ARGENTINE discoxt EXT.
London, June 3.—A dispatch to the Times
from Buenos Ayres says tliat the papers
there unanimously condemn the proposed
loan as a breach of the pledge 'made by the
president of Ohe republic. They also con-
demn any idea of suspending t'he interest
on the public debt on the ground that
the treasury is able to pay It if the finance
minister's statement as to the condition of
the country Is correct. The papers declare
that the national revenue is rapidly de-
creasing in consequence of the general stag-
nation of commerce.
GBRIMAiN SOCIALIST ACTIVITY.
London, June 3.—A dispatch to the Times
from Berlin, commenting upon the socialist
victory in the by-elections at Plauen, which
lias hitherto been represented by a con-
servative, says a similar result is antici-
pated In the by-election at Pinneberg. It
adds that the socialist agitation is de-
veloping activity In all quarters of Ohe
empire, and It Is high time that the other
paiities In the State note the fact that
their indolence and dissensions are do.ng
lull' Wile work for the socialists.
BLUIEFIELDS.
Colon, June 3.—The United States steam-
ship San Francisco has arrived here from
Blueflelds. The Nlcaraguan troops in charge
there will retire If England demands they
do so. Much dissatisfaction prevails. The
San Francisco Is coaling, preparatory to
returning to Billetields,
CUBAN BUDGET FEATURES.
Madrid, June 1!.—It is stated that the
Cuban budget will show a surplus of $25,000
attained by raising the tariff on American
imports, lowering the export duty on to-
bacco and sugar, and admitting Spanish
wines free with a view to excluding French
and other wines.

PUBLISHEBS NEWS, GALVESTON,
Washington, June 3.—The sugar schedule
•will again this week be the point around
which the proceedings in the senate will
revolve. Among numerous senators who
were asked for their opinion as to when
the debate on this schedule would cease,
not one would attempt to ilx a definite
time. The discussion has already preced-
ed for three day©, which is the utmost
time that the democratic senators would
admit before debate begins. Some think
it will be possible to reach a verdict Mon-
day or Tuesday, while others assort that
there are contingencies which may post-
pone the disposition of the bill until the
latter part of the week.
Among other lines of policy which have
been conversed about among the oppo-
nents of the bill Is that of allowing the
sugar schedule to be accepted as amended
by the committee on finance without tak-
ing any vote on the schedule In committee
of tin* whole, the object being that the op-
ponents of the bill shall not be forced to
nhow their hands at this time and espe-
cially that they may refrain from exhibit-
ing their supposed strength among demo-
cratic and populist senators.
•Senator Harris adheres to his determina-
tion to ask the senate to prolong its daily
sessions into the evening, beginning with
to-morrow.
Some of the republican senators have
taken his notice to mean that he will ask
the senate to sit Monday until the sugar
schedule shall be disposed of, but conver-
sation with him and with othe* democrat-
ic senators indicates that his purpose Is
hardly so definite, but that the intention
is to press as near to the goal as it may be
possible to do.
"We want," said Senator Jones, "to see
that the senate does a good day's work
each day, and if It should be apparent that
there has been no effort to secure delay
we should not probably ask for very .*\-
tended hours, lint If the proceedings should
indicate that the long speeches are to con-
tinue we should probably ask the senate
to sit well into the night."
The republicans will probably resist the
attempt to extend the sessions beyond ti
o'clock to the extent of at least demand-
that a quorum be mainained. Some of
them will decline to assist in making a
quorum.
The democrats appreciate this dilikuilty,
and will make an effort to have as nearly
a quorum of democrats as possible on hand
to meet this emergency. They have tie-
pledges of more than fifty senators, in-
eluding some of the populists and some re-
publicans, that they will remain to aid iu
making a quorum as long as may be re-
quired.
Senator Harris said to-day that when the
night sessions were once begun they would
lie continued until the bill should be finally
disposeil of. Meantime, they will main-
tain the effort to get the republicans to
agree to fix the day for a final vote.
The outlook for the week In the house of
representatives Is so much In doubt th 't a
democratic caucus may be necessary to
agree on a plan of action. The state bank
question has been debated until the leaders
are anxious for a vote. Hut the debate
had shown the bank men that they are
liable to be defeated by inability to agree
on any one of the many plans they have
discussed.
As the state bank principle was incor-
porated In tin- democratic national plat-
form the leadens are loth to see the bid
defeated, so that a caucus to-morrow or
next day may be called for the purpose of
formulating a party measure which will
command united support. It is probable
that the final vote on the bill will be taken
early in the* week, unless the whole ques-
tion Is allowed to go over until a caucus
committee can frame a satisfactory bill.
The rules committee is considering the
advisability of giving one day to Repre-
sentative Cooper's bill for subjecting green-
backs and Sherman notes to state and
local taxation. At present these forms of
paper money are exempt from taxation.
Chairman Holman «nt" the Indian com-
mittee Is pressing with the Indian appro,
prlatlon bill, and its consideration will
come Im-medately after the state bank de.
bate, unless Mr. Cooper secures an Inter-
vening day. The Ind'ian bill will be warmly
discussed. As there is nj dispo'sitlon >tj
question the wisdom of many of Mr. ITol-
man's reductions. The debate is expected
to last a week.
