Kept Secret by His New Youu, August 22. —Dispatches received from Bay Shore, L.L., state that the death of Patrick Harris, the well-known theatrical man- ager, on Wednesday morning was not due to natural causes, but that he committed suicide by baie himself. No cause for the act is known. It was said that he committed suicide by shooting himself and that evory effort had been made by his friends to cover up the facts in the care, even to sending the body to Balti- more with all possible haste. Certain sue- picious circumstances attracted the attention of the coroner, the dispatch stated, and he in- stituted an investigation, the result of which was that he declared the case to be one of sui- cide. The only particulars of the suicide known in this city ure that immediately after eating his breakfast Harris went into a room alone and a few minutes later his friends heard a pistol shot. They rushed into the room and found him prostrate on the floor, with blood rushing from an ugly wound in hia body and a smoking revolver at his side. He died, accord- ing to story. ina very short time without regaining consciousness. ‘THE REMAINS IX BALTIMORE. Bartmore, August 22.—-The remains of the late theatrical manager, Patrick Harris, ar- rived here from Bay Shore, L.L, last night. They wore accompanied by his widow auda number of relatives and friends. The story that Mr. Harris committed suicide, instead of dying of apoplexy, is denied by Mre. Harris. When ioned this afternoon she said: “Itisacruel and unjust statement. My bus- band died from # stroke of apoplexy and any statement to the contrary is cruelly untrue.” Mr. Tunis F. Dean, the business associate of Mr. Harris, also denies the report of suicide. Mra. Harris is greatly prostrated over the ru- mor. The funeral services will bo heid Sunday afternoon at Mr. Harris’ late residence. ——_—.___— ORIGINAL PACKAGES. A North Dakota Judge Decides Sev- eral Knotty Questions. Jamrstows, N.D., August 22.—Jndge Rose has rendered a decision on the original package question which applies to both the Dakotas. The cave wns that of the state against John Bergren, who dealt in original packages at Valley City, N.D. The complaint was that he sold liquor in violation of the new prohibitory law and a re- straining order was asked for. Judge Rose holds that the law, when enacted. was uncon- stitational. He says Congress having the sole power to regulate commerce among the states, and not having granted power to the states to legislate prohibiting the importation and vale of intoxicating hquors at the time. the legis- Intive assembly of the state of North Dakota enacted the said act, the state was without authority to pass the act, and it was void when passed and inoperative in so far as it prohibits the importation of intoxicating liquors. ‘The judge declined to pass upon the claim that the law is still null, for the reason that the acts complained of were committed prior to the passage of the Wilson bill by Congress, and hence that law cuts no figure in this case. The inference is pinin, however, in his decision that he would bold the stetute still null when & case is presented te him involving that powut. He decided the provision against impcrtation unconstitutional at the time it was passed, and the only question remaining to be decided is whether it was by the Wilson bill revived and made operative. A case of beer was decided to be a case of twenty-four original . He decides, however, that original package dealers are amenable to the state laws if they ermit liquor sold in original packages to bo iruuk on the premises. On this point he says while the importer can import his merchandise into the state and sell such at any place and may keep a place or house mm which to Peeper a yet as soon as he has sold the jeer and it has passed into the hands of the and i haa thus aera the property of fhe state aud sul to ite law he coe ae oe importer and becomes amenuble to the laws of the state, in so far he invites and permits purchasers to assembie and drink the beer he has sold on his wen. Rergren, having permitted — to be drunk on his premises, Judge granted an order restraining him from the further selling of liquor. —~--— Going to Bebrings Sea.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS, Mr. Quay's resolution did not come up in Senate this morning, nor is it to come up again ‘unless it is to be formally laid aside. Yet Mr. Quay won a victory at the conference last night, and now the republican Senators will put on the smooth front of harmony. It was agreed at the conference last night, to put it in a nut shell, that nothing more should be said about passing the federal electian bill at this session; that the bill should go over until the next sossion, with the agreement that ail the republicans shall unite ia am effort to press it to a vote at that time, but with no time now fixed for a vote; and, finally, that the re- Publican Senators are to try to reach an egree- ment with the democrats for the prompt div- posal of other business and un early adjourn- ment. This being accomplished the republicans are to join in # request to the President that he call an extra session of Congress immediately aiter the November elections, With this agrcement, there is, of course, no reason for the passage of the Quay resolution. It may be called up again for the purpose of referring it to the committee on rales, there to letit die, or it may be left on the calendar, where it now is, without action. THE ASSEXT OF THE DEMOCRATS toa hastening to the close of the session has not as yet been received, but there can be no trouble about that, as they are all anxious to getaway, and the program as now drawn is better for them than would have been the Quay Proposition, involving, as it does, the fixing of a date for a vote. The result of the conference is a complete surrender of the ndvocates of the election bill, ‘but they conld not get.a vote on this bill this session anyhow, and the agreement puts an end to the open fight within the party. THE OBJECT OF AN EXTRA SESSION isto give more time for the consideration of ‘the election bill, which will be necessary in the absence of any agreement with the democrats as to a time when the vote may be taken upon it. The democrats will, of course, be as active in the resistance of the effort to reach a vote next session as they have been this, but the re- publicans under the terme of this agreement are to act in harmony. A CHANCE TO LOOK AFTER THEIR FENCES. If adjournment can be reached by the 15th of September or soon after that date, it will give the members a chance to take part in the campaign, and thea if the President consents to call an extra session, they can come back and fight to a finish the battle over the elec- tion bill. THE TARIFF BILL BLOCKS THE WAY. It is a question, however, whether they ean, under the most favorable conditions, get through with the tariff bill in time for an ad- jourment as early as they desire. The tariff ili is almost certain to come over to the House vearmg a reciprocity amendment, and probably a retaliatory amendment alsa, ‘This proposition is bound to cause a fight in canfer- ence and in the House, and it will take some time, perhaps, to reach an agreement. ‘The committee on rules will probably bring in a newrule when the bill comes over, sending it at once to conference, without reference to the ways and means com- mittee. But there will be some hard nuts te crack in conference,and after that is done with the Senate and House will vet bave to pass upon the conference report. This is apt to cause the scasion to drag out to near the end of Sep- tember, under favorable conditions, and an ad- journmcnt is not apt to be reached before the 29th of September. ORDER OF BUSINESS. The committee appointed at the conference last night met this morning in the room of the Senate committee on the judiciary, but it failed to arrive at any real definite conclusion asto when the final vote should be taken on the tariff bill, Those present were Senators Hoar, Alhson, Evarts, Plumb, Spooner, Hale and Allen. Generally those who favor the election bill fee] victorious, and are not at all concerned because the debate on it will not commence until next session. Democratic Senators have nothing to say about the situation, but they realize that things have not gone just as they hoped they woul TRE COMMITTEE AGREES. Later in the afternoon it was developed that the “steering” committee had at Inst come to an agreement. Before this could be done the members of the committee desired to consult with other Senators and the result is now ap- parent. The committee recommends, and the recommendation is to be put on paper for submittal to republican Scnators, that after the end of this mouth the tariff bill shall be discussed under the five-minute rale and disposed of with the utmost rapidity. As to the federal election bill that will be taken Up as soon us Congress convenes in December, and the 20th day of December is fixed as the @uy on which the previous question on that measure will be culled — far. The other bills named in the Quay resolution— anti-lottery, agriculture aud forestry, pending appropriation bills. concurrent resolutions, reorganization of United States courts and public building and land bills—will be consi ered and disposed of, As soon as the signa- tures of a majority of the republicans have been secured the formal resolution will be offered in open Senate. DATE FOR 4 VOTE ON TRE ELECTION BILL. The friends of the election bill, not satisfied that the matter should rest as agreed on at the conference last night with no date next session fixed for a vote on the clection bill, circulated 4 paper this afternoon for the signature of Senators. providing that a vote shall be taken on the election bill on the 20th of December, THE BULLISS HABEAS OORPUS.

The epccial committee resumed its sessions this morning and continued the examivation of the commissioner. In answer to questions by Mr. Cooper, the commissioner described the details of the formation of the refrigerator ce Which was organized January 14, 1890. He said he had paid part of the money due to the on his stock at the time of orgenization. provably msing some of the “Lemon” money for the purpose, but he had a good deal of money at the time and drewa check on the Bank of the Republic. ‘Mr. Cooper asked if witness had moncy deposited in any other bank. . Phe commis! ‘ioner declined to answer. CLADNXG “A RIGHT TO TRACE UP THE LEMON MoxEr.”” Mr. Cooper ergued that he had a right to trace up the Lemon moncy in this way. The witness, he said, had yesterday conveyed the impression that af] of that money went to the ‘West Virginia gypsum mine. The commissioner replied that all of the money had not been invested in the mining company, and that he had money in other banks then the Bank of the Republic. He declined to say how mnch of the Lemon money was paid into the refrigerator eompany. Mr. Cooper presented an article published in the Cincinnati Comunercial Gazette.
