FRIGHTFUL Sensational Suicide of a Toronto, Ont., Merch: Just before noon Saturday a little girl, who was crossing the Rosedale bridge, at the second ravine in Toronto, Ont., saw a man walk on the bridge and throw his hat ever the railing. Then he paused, climbed the rail and leaped headlong into the depths below, a distance of 15 feet. The act was most deliberate and done so quickly that the frightened child had not time to cry out. In its descent the body furned twice in the air, striking the ground with a crash that could be heard fifty yards ew: Death was instantaneous and the body was shockingly mangled. ‘When the police and a few pedestrians ar- rived on the scene it was discovered that the dead man was James Scott, for forty yéars a prominert dry goods merchant on King street east. Mr. Scott was suffering from an acute form of neurasthenia and his malady had undoubtedly affected his mind. —————— THEATRICAL COMBINATION. Said to Have Heen Formed by Managers im the Leading Cities.

CUBA IS COSTLY TO SPAIN Fearful Effect of the Present Insurrection on Spanish Finanoes, Her Ministers Resort to Makeshifts and Manufacturing d@ Agricul- tural Interests Are Depressed. From the London Economist. Nearly twelve months have elapsed since the Cuban insurrection broke out, at the end of February, 1895, and the conse- quences of this outbreak of separatism are beginning to tell in a very perceptible way on the finances of Cuba and on those of Spain herself. After the great insurrection of 1868-78, a first consolidation of the Cuban debt was made in 1886, when £15, 000,000 of 6- per cent redeemable bonds were issued, and the bondholders were given a lien on the revenue of the customs of the colony, in afidition to the guarantee of the Cuban imperial treasuries. Cuban budgets were drawn up, like the budgets of Spain, so as to show on paper either a slight surplus or an insignificant deficit. Nevertheless, the revenue of the island always fell short of the expenditures hy about a million sterling, and in the lkst year before the present insurrection the customs of Cuba did not produce enough to cover the interest and amortization of the 6 per cent bonds of 1886, and the treasury of Cuba had to make good the difference from other sources. In 189) the Spanish cortes authorized thy government to convert the Cuban debt ot 1886 and to consolidate all the arrears and floating debt of Cuba, including the war notes of the Banco Espanol de la Havana, into a new 5 per cent Cuban stock, likewise guaranteed by the customs revenue and by the treasuries of Cuba and Spain. The bill authorized the creation of £39,000,000 nomi- nal of this 5 per cent redeemable Cuban stock, but In reality only seven millions sterling were issued in 1891 to withdraw part of the war notes, and to ¢onsolidate part of the Cuban floating debt. The minister for the colonies is said to have made use of this authorization as slowly and as prudently as possible under the circumstances. His operations have re- duced to £8,500,000 nominal the value of the Cuban 5 per cent bonds still at his disposal to cover the expenses of the Cuban war. By degrees the expenditure has risen in Cuba to about a million sterling per month, and it will, of course, be increased when the Spanish government forwards to the colony in February the reinforcements, amounting to 26,000 men, that the new viceroy has asked for to bring up the army of occupation to 140,000 Spanish troops. At the present moment the Cuban treas- ury is said to be ir a position to dispose of about £4,200,000. All told, this may suf- fice to cover the expenses of the war until the month of May. Fresh advances will then have to be made by the Bank of Spain, most probabiy on the remainder of the Cuban 5 per cent bonds, as it is now hardly likely that the government can get a parliament elected quickly or easily enough before the spring to vete supplies for Cuba. Everybody in Spain now under- stands that the whole of the Cuban bonds of 189) will have been pledged or other- wise disposed of before six monihs, and without the Cuban war having been brought to a close, considering that the new viceroy himseif, Gen. Weyler, the suc- cessor of Marshal Campos, had _ publicly stated before he left Spain that he hoped to drive the insurgents in a few montns from the central provinces of the isl but did not expect to complete the pacii tion of the colony much under two As secon as these Cuban bonds are pedged or sold the government and parlia- rent of Spain must undertake to provide the money to pay interest and amorti: tion on the same until the Cuban treasury can do so, even if moneys so advanced are on paper charged to the colonial treasur in the accounts of the imperial treasur: and Bank .of Spain. It stands to reason that the Cuban treasury, as long as the struggle lasts, and even for some lime after its close, would not attempt to do anything for these bonds, when its own revenue has not sufficed to meet the current expenses of its budget and the interest and amortiza- tion of its older debt of 1886, without in- curring an annual deficit of one million sterling in the peaceful and prosperous times before the present rebellion. Ministers Devising Makeshifts. ‘The ministers of the regency are now de- vising makeshift plans for creating extra- ordinary and transitory duties upon all Spanish and foreign products. The “Banco Espanol” of Havana will get permission to issue more notes, as it did during the last insurrection. But not niuch can be expect- ed from such devices In the present state of the colony, when all the six provinces are overrun by the rebels, when the werk on the sugar, cofize and tobacco gfartations has been almost rywhere suspended, when trade and the customs revenues ure declining, and disaff2ztion has assumed very formidable proportions even in towns. It is astonishing that the Cuban secunitles, mcstly held by the Spaniards themselves, have borne up so well during the last twelve months. ‘fhe 6 per cent bonds of 1886 have declined from 119 to 91, and then rallied to #4, and the 5 per cent bonds from 101 to 801g, and then rallied to &. The Cu- ban insurrection has also affected the prices of Spanish exterior, interior and redcem- able stocks, which ‘dropped in about the game proportion as the Cuban bonds, while r fours have fallen on the Mad- rid bourse from 81 to 73 in a twelvemonth. The colonial disturbances have ulso devel- oped a depression in trade, and contributed to a rise in the rates of foreign exchanges from § to 22 premium in the same period. Another of the effects of the Cuban crisis is seen in the balance she2ts of the Bank of Spain. The treasury has nad to make so many appeals to the Bank of Spain fer ad- vances to the Cuban treasury, and for gil- ver doilars required by the Cuban and Puer- to Rico treasuries, that the bank holds at the present moment two and a nal? millions sterling of silver less than a year ago, and the note issue has developed this very week to the unprecedented figure of £40,632,310. Commerce and Agriculture. The Cuban Insurrestion has begun to af- fect the Catalan, Biscay and other manu- facturing districts of the peninsula, which have no foreign or ‘nterior market outside Cuba, Puerto Rico, and, in a lesser degree, the Philippine Islands. Spanish agricul- tural interests are beginning to suffer from the falling off in the customary demand for breadstuffs for the West Indizs, and the shipping interests, too, are compiaining, though they enjoy privilesed treatment un- der the system of differential flag duties protecting all the carrying trade in Spanish boitoms. All these varied aspects of the unfortunate effects of the Cuban war upon Spanish finance, commerce and production In general explain why so much anxiety and impatience prevails in the peninsula concerning the resulis of the sacrifices in men and money, that ali Spaniards under- stand they could not keep up very iong at the pace of the last ten months. The Nuisance of Unused Tracks. ‘To the EMitor of The Evening Star: In a leading editorial in today’s Philadel- phia Press is a thought which, to my mind, ought to be considered by the Dis- trict committee in the House. It is as fol- lows: “Car tracks on streets are an impediment to the free use of that street. They are to that extent a nuisance, and where the tracks are not used they constitute an un- necessary nuisance which ought to be abated. The mere statement by the com- pany that it intends to use the tracks some time ought not to protect them if they are not used and have not been used for months, or maybe for years. Tracks that are used only to pre-empt a street and keep off other companies ought to be taken up by the city at the expense of the com- panies owning the tracks. This a city or- dinance provides for, and money should be appropriated to enable the mayor to have its provisions carried out.” I refer particularly to the tracks on North Capitol street, which extend from New York avenie to G street, which should either be used or removed. Car companies, pr-or to a grant, are profuse in arguing that it would greatly benefit the public to be al- lowed the privilege of extending their lin but in this case, while the public are wait- ing for the benefits, the company, for rea- sons known to themselves only, fail to see the benefits that were so plainly stated by them prior thereto. If this ordinance was incorporated in the District laws, possibly they would see some way of giving the pub- lic what it should have in this section, viz.: An underground rapid electric railway. DANIEL I. NOONE. MR. HARTER’S STICIDE. Coroner Decides That He Was Tem- porarily Insane. The ccroner at Fostoria, Ohio, held an inquest Saturday afternoon on the body of Michael D. Harter, whose suicide was an- nounced in Saturday's Star, and decided that the deceased had killed himself while temporarily insane. There is no hint of firancial or business embarrassments as a cause of the suicide, it being asserted that all the enterprises with which Mr. Harter was connected are in 2 flourishing condi- tion. Mr. Harter arrived in Fostorla sev- eral days ago to attend to some business affairs. He was apparertly in the best of spirits, but had complained to his friends that he was troubled somewhat by in- scemria. Friday night, however, he attended a so- clable and supper at the Presbyterian Church, and ‘appeared to enjoy himself. After his return to the home of Mr. S. Knapp, in the evening, he said he did not care to be called in the morning until quite late, as he desired to make up some of the sleep he had lost. His wish was respected, and no effort Was made to arouse him until noon. Then it was discovered that he was dead. He was lying in bed, with a frightful wound in the right temple. His hands lay upon his breast, and in them was grasped a .38- caliber revolver, from which the bullet had been fired. Mr. Harter had disrobed carefully. On the bureau lay his cravat and a letter ad- dressed to his wife in Philadelphia. There was nothing in the letter to indicate his rurpose to take his life. ‘There was aiso a telegram to Mrs. Har- ter, In which Mr. Harter asked her to see that his life insurance assessments were paid. Late Saturday night a message was re- ceived directing that the remains of Mr. Harter be taken to Mansfield. The remains were embalmed and almost every trace of the terrible bullet hole was removed. A short and impressive funeral service was condueted by Rev. James Albert Pat- terson, a personal friend of the deceased. ‘The remains were taken to Mansfield yes- terday afternoon, the pallbearers being Messrs. Charles Foster, O. T. Brown, C. E. Palmer, J. R. Graham, W. H. Bannister and L. Harbaugh. Funeral services occur at Mansfield today, and interment will take piace in that city. “BILL NYE’ FUNERAL. It Will Be Held Tomorrow at Ashe- ville, N. C. The hour for the funeral services over the body of William Edgar Nye is fixed for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and tbe inter- ment will be at the Episcopal Church ceme- tery at Fletchers, twelve miles south of Asheville, N. C. Many telegrams have been received by Mrs. Nye from people prominent in the literary world, expressing their condole- ments over her bereavement. William Edgar Nye, or, more famillarly, “Bill Nye,” whose death was announced in Saturday's Star, was one of the best- known American humorists. While his humor was pronouncedly aggressive and distinctively American, ‘his lectures and writings recelved a very warm reception in England and other foreign countri:s. Mr. Nye was born in Shirle; » August 25, 1850, but in his early days his father took him to Wisconsin, which was then being settled. He grew up on a farm und was educated at River Falls, where he studied law. He moved to Wyoming ter- ritory in 1876, was admitted to the lar and found but a cool reception. Justice Was administered in those days in such a fashion that lawyers’ services vere not in demand. The barren legal field caused Mr. Nye to bein writing for the Cheyenne Sun at $1 per column. Scon a reportorial place on the Denver une was g! to him. Later he went to Laramie, Wyoming, and started the Boomerang. His writing at- tracted attention, and newsvap2rs in all parts of the country publi xtracts from the Boomerang. When the paper finally proved a financial failure he was able to find a market for his weekly let- ters. He then entered upon a pro: reer. His writings found a read his lectures were well attend. been said that his income of iate y« reached $4,000 a year. He once made a tour with James Whitcomb Riley, and iater with Prof. A. P. Busbank. Mr. Nye married Miss Fannie Smith of Chicago in 1877, and had four child two boys and two girls. He lived in W corsin for some time, then on Staten I land, and finally at his beautiful country home near Asheville, N. C.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The account of the accident to Capt. J. S. Standley, published in The Star of Sat- urday evening, certainly calls for some answer to the statement made by the trac- tion company. It is net true that the representative of the company showed to Czspt. Standley the conductor's report of the oceurrence and that Capt. Standley said it was substantially correct. On the contrary, Capt. Standley told the com- pany’s representative that it was not true that the conductor warned him that the car had not stopped. Capt. Standley’: stetemcnt briefly is this: He left the W: lard, where he is stopping, to go to the vesidence cf Delegate Fiynn of Oklahoma, No. 2820 14th street. He gave the con- ductor of the car the number, and asked to be put off there. The conductor beckoned to Capt. Standley, who was sitting in the middle of the car, and the car slowed up. When Capt. Standley reached the door the car came te a stop with such a lurch that he was obliged to catch the door to save himself from failing. As Capt. Standley stepped out on the platform the conductor aid, pointing to the side of the stree: It is one of those two houses there.” That was all the conductor said. Capt. Standley got down on the step and put his foot to the ground. Capt. Standley was thrown violently. He remembers nothing more until some time later he came to consciousness lying on a sofa in Mr. Flynn's house, where he had been taken. The representative of the traction company called at the Willard the next day. He told Capt. Standiey what the conductor said and Capt. Standley explicitly denied that he had received any warning from the conductor not to get off as the car was moving. He also told him that he was not then in a condition to talk much. His face was badly swollen and his mouth very sore. The representative of the company stated that he had the names of witnesses who were on the car and that an investigation would he made to ascertain the truth. Capt. Standley was recovering from a severe attack of grip when he started out to Mr. Flynn's. He probably moved slower than the conductor anticipated. Those who know Capt. Standley would never believe that he would try to get off a car while it is in motion. Such an act would be wholly iaconsistent with his character, As to what happened when he fell, Capt. Standley’s mind is a blank. His recollec- tion of what passed between him and the conductor befere he put his foot on the ground is very clear and distinct. He knows that the conductor gave him no warning, and he believed the ¢ar was standing still. Mrs. J. 8. SPANDLEY. —— Sleight of Hand. ‘To the Baitor of The Evening Star: Attracted by the spiritualistic advertise- ment of Dr. Loyd Cooke and expecting to see at last the often promised and never realized spirit manifestation, I attended the doctor’s exhibition at the Grand Opera House. What I saw was very expert jug- gling. The doctor understands the arts of chemical infusions, knotting ropes, appar- ently tying while leaving hands free at will, table-tipping and darkening the theater, as if by accident, when necessary to admit the entrance of a lady confederate into the cabinet to personate a spirit. He under- stands also how to dismiss an audience be- fore it could ask for the report of the com- mitteemen, one or more of whom could have laid bare the secret of most of the tricks. It would have been ungracious, however, to repay by exposure the skill and politeness of the doctor. The juggler should go free; it is only the mountebank, who, for profit, plays on religious prejudices that ought to be exposed.

The resignation of the commander end Mra.

The international headquarters have instructed Col. Eadie to assume the tem- porary direction of affairs. “We are awaiting further advices. “Weare going on with our work. God lives, and the flag waves.” In answer to a question concerning the statement that a reward had been offered for information concerning the whereabouts of Commander Ballington Booth, Col. Eadie said: “Sir, there are very many wild ru- es afloat in the world,” adding: ‘That is a ite.” The acting commander also stated that it was not true that Col.

In regard to the transferring of the Sal- vation Army property in tnis country by Lallington Booth, Col. Endie said that the transfer had not been made as yet, but that Commander Booth, in whose name the American property 1s, had promised to complete the transfer in due time, if such should finally be necessary. Col. Eadie seemed very much dishearten- ed over the turn affairs have taken. Jt is announced in London that Booth Tucker and wife will succeed Mr. and Mrs. Ballington Booth in command of the Sal- vation Army in the United States. it is claimed tnat the reason of Com- mander and Mrs. Booth’s withdrawal trom thelr Salvation Army commands wes due to the friction caused by the renozts to London of Col. William Eadie, chief sec- retary of the American contingent. Col. Wadie insisted _on overlooking all corre- spondence. He opposed the practice of some officers of buying homes, and he op- posed the possession by an officer of a horse and buggy. There are other in- stances of disagreement, and it 1s said that Col. Eadie’s reports determined Gen. Booth upon the remov:l of his son. So far from Col. Nicol's mission to this country being a pacific one, there is now abundant evidence that he was sent here solely the purpose of ousting Mr. and Mrs. Belington Booth from office without further parley, cee ITS TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY.

Dr. Stafford at Metzerott Hall. -The celebration of Washington's birthday at Metzerott Hall by the Oldest Inhabitants Association was notable for the number of eloquent addresses that were made, some cf. which were mentioned in The Star Saturday. Among the others was ene by Rev. Dr. J. Stafford, his theme being, “Wash- gton First in Peace.” He sald that the inauguration of the American gov- ernment {s without one single exception the most momentous fact in civil history of the world. It solved forever the problem tc reconcile with absolute stability of gov. ernment the most perfect liberty of the in- dividual citizen. He referred to the prom- inent place that Washington had in this reriod, and gave special emphasis to his urselfish services and sublime patriotism during the time of peace. He spoke of Washington's policy, and said that he be- lieved in justice to the whole country and the whole people. Washington also in- sisted upon the necessity of religion and mcrality to the permanency of free institu- ticns. ‘The speaker said that Washington be- lieved in the equality of all creeds before the law. “In the face o* this broad and thoroughly American policy,” the epcaker asked, “what would Washinztoa have raid to those who array one purty against an- other, one creed against unother, in Litter and deadly hatred?" “What,” said the speaker, “would he have said to those who, in the name of America, would take the bread from tie orphan and shelter from the poor? Is this encouraging religion and morality. to op- pose all religious institutions? I say it 1s not, and in the name of Georze Washing- ton I denounce it.

Robinson, who spoke of the dependence of our forefathers upon Washington and the abiding character of his influence dur- ing the years that have elapsed since his day. He said that from all lands men who have loved true liberty have looked to him as its triumphant champion and to the nation which he founded as the realiza- tion of their dreams. He paid a tribute lo Washington's devotion to principles and to duty, and spoke of the universal recog- nition of his great qualities and unselfish devotion. He spoke of the future and how the national destiny will be along the lines which we mark out for them, and thought that there was no more effective method of making a wise, united and virtuous people than by educating our young people upon the pattern furnished by the charac- ter of Washington. Representative Swanson Heard. Another selection was rendered by the band and Representative Swanson of Vir- ginla was introduced and spoke on the sub- ject, “Washington’s Native State, Virginia, Wherein He Lived and Died.” He said that these exercises could not conclude without a tribute to the state that gave Washington to America. If that state had no further claim to fame it would have been eternal. But the speaker said the state has other claims, and referred to the fact that her legislature was the first to ass resolutions against the stamp act, and utter opposition to British tyranny. He then related the notable part Virginia piayed in the early days, and mentioned some of her illustrious sons, whose achieve- ments, he said, commencing with the majestic Washington and ending with the matchless Lee, have made resplendent and Pancake Flour. a Bees oe life— HERE'S OUR GUARANTEKE—Buy « ot Genuine Aunt Jem:ma’s Self-raising Pancake and if you do not find it makes the best cakes you ‘ever ate, return the empty box to your leave your maine, and the grocer will the ‘money and «i it to us. * BUY THE RED PACKAGE.

HUNTER WITHDRAWS. Republican Nominee for Senator Kentucky Causes a Sensation. W. Godfrey Hunter, republican nominee -d States Senator from Kentucky, has withdrawn from the contest, according to a New York Heraid special. He made a proposi-ion to the four re- publican legislators who have refused to support kim, that if they would give him unqualificd support for one week he would agree to the substitution of a new candi- date in case he should not win in that time. This, however, w declined by Sen- ator Rummaus, who represents the bolters, and Hunter then withdrew. it is believed that the republicans will now support former Judge Holt. A. J. Carroll, one of the democrats who refused to suppo-t Blackburn, is a son-in-law of Judg> Holt. Should he vote for Holt the latter would be elected. If he does not, and there is no other break, the deadlock will continue indefinitely, +0 —__ Confederate Museum Opened.
