He was picked up uncouscious on tho stroet about o'clock. Beside him was found an empty lsudanam bottle. When found Schwatka was lying on the sidowalk 1 an apparent drunken stupor. All efforts to rouse him wero futile. A two- ounco vial wus near him half full of lauda- num, and he manfested symptoms of opium poisoning. He dicd soon after, never haviug rezained consciousness. Oaly a postmortom examination. can determine whother it was u caso of suicide or not. Licutenant Schwatka was well known in Salem, where his early lifo was spent. Ho came here from Galena, Ill. with his par- ents in 185, receiving his education at Wil- liawetto university. He then learned the s trade, at which he worked until , when he received appointment to West Point. His fatver, I'rederick Schwatka, was a cooper an 1 worked at the trade while living here. His father died several yoars ago, shortly after the death of the licuten- aut’s mother. Two sisters, Mrs, Thomas Reynolds and Mrs, J. D. Jordan, still reside this city. An uncle, Ned Schwatka, lived in KEureka, Cal Licutenant Schwatka of late years has beon troubled with u stemuch complaint, and was in the habit of taking laudanuw to allay the pain, Last night he was attending a mecting of the Stevenson club, and while there complained that bis stomach was “ill- ing him.” He went to a drug stove and pur- chased a cwo-ounce bottle of laudanum, re- murking to the clerk thut he was a graduate of a medical college ana that he was accus- tomea to taking fifteen or twenty arops of laudanim when his stomach was troubled. Found in Laudanum i When lust seen 1ust night he appeared in a cheerful mood, and gave no evideuce thut ho contemplated suicide. The theory that he contemplated suicido is fast giving 'way to one that he took an overdose of laudanum by accident. e HER FATE UNKNGIFN, That the Steamer Gilcher Clevelund, 0., Uns Been Lost, CrLevELAND, O,, Nov.

THEIR FUNDS STILL TIED UP England's Ir's Party Finds Itself in a Bad Way for Sinews of War. WHAT BANKER MUNROE HAS TO SAY His Firm Will Not Pay Over Until Advi to Do So by Its torneys — Simply » Mutter of Business, the Mouey At [Copyrighted 1892 byliames Gordon Bennett.] Paris, Nov. 2.—[New York Herald Cable Special to Tue Ber.)—~A correspondent of the Herald called on John Munroe, head of the well kuown tirm of American bankers. Mr. Munroe, in relation to the Irish funds hield on deposit by his firm, said “Yes, 1t 15 quito true, as has boen stated, that we recoived a few anys siace a lettir from Justin MeCarthy asking what formali ties we would requige in order to allow the Irish funds neid by us to be witharawn, Wo replied we would refer the matter io legal advisers. I'his we have slready douo, Up to the present we have had no answer. A 10 the othor statements in the English and Trish press, and as to the political side of the question, 1 have nothing to say, as that doos not concern us, We are simply bankers who hold money n trust, We do not intend to give it up until we are assured by our legal advisers that we can do so with verfece prudence and without the danger of baving to refund it twice over. ‘“*As o the construction which has been put upon my letter to McCarthy in England and elsewhere, to the effect that it meant we would nov reloase the fund oxcopt on an order from the Parls law court, I have noth- ing to say. The case is in che hands of our solicitors. It is for them to advise us what todo, and it 1s not for us to decide upon a line of conduct until we have their advice."" Nothing in the Note, 1 then called. Mr. Munroe's attention to a note in the London Star, which assumed tuat the releaso of the fund was already de- cided upon, that three independent trustoss had beon selected to receive it. and that the funds were to be drawn from the Paris bank. The note goes on to sav that the Red- mondites and nationalists are quarreling about the aivision of the funds. Mr. Mun- roe refused to say anything about this. “I know nothing about the Redmondites,” he said, “nor about any Farnellites, nor about the political aspect of the af- fuir. The whole matter, so far as we are concerned, may be summed up follows Weure the bankers with whom the money has been deposited. McCarthy has approached us with a view to withdrawing this devosit. We have placed the matter entirely in our counsel’s hands, and bave not yot received their roply. \We are business men, Com- mon business prudence tells us that we can- not release these funds until assured by our lawyers that we can do so with perfect safety." In conclusion Mr. Munroe said that it was impossihle for him to say anything more on the matter, which was in the hauds of the firm’s solicitors.

Mr. Deacon was on hand when the case came up and confronted his wife in the tribunal of the Seine. The president of the tribunal not only dismissed Mrs. Deacon’s petition, but severely censured her for having made frivo- lous charges against her husband with the object of procuring a divorce, while she her- sell was under cbarges of the gravest char- acter, He gave orders that tne eldest child, now in a convent, where it bad heeu pluced by Mrs. Deacon, should be delivered to Mr. Deacon.

Loxooy, Nov. 2.—[New York Herald pecial o Tur Bee.|—I bhave it trom the most trustworthy sourca that the cab- met’s deliberations over President Harri- son’s request for tho release of Dr. Gal- lugher and tbe otber Irish-Americans en- gaged in the dynamite plot have so far come to naught, and that o negative reply will probably be sent to the charge d’affaires here in a few days. The only thing that saves the request from the ridiculo of the press is the fact of its origin in s0 high a source as the State department at Washington, aud there are even some pa- pers bold enough to hint that the president's application was made at the time when it § was certain to affect his political aspirations, A correspondsnt of the Times today, 1n re- ferring to the matter, says: *‘Of course the State department cannot afford to ignore the demands of tbe National League's chlef.

Wasminaroy, D. C,, Nov, 2.—The dis- patches printed in certain Cunadian news- papers relative to the failure to consummate the negotiotions looking 1o tue allowance by the United States and Canada for mutual wrecking privileges in the boundary waters between the two countries aug, by Implica tion, placing the blame on the Department of State here, are sad to be founded upon a misunderstanding of thefacts, May 24, 1800, copgress passed an act per- mitting Canadian wrecking vessels to succor distressed or wrecked Canadian vessels in the contiguous waters gf the United States. But two condivions were imposed. One was that the president sboulti give effect to the law by proclamatioy, oply after the Canadian government had ex ed like privileges to vessels of the l!m*p Slates in contiguous Cunadiau waters. The gther was that the agreoment should apply %o the St. Lawrence canal as well as to the fig{xul system connect- ing the great lakes. U} to dute tne Cana- dian government had falded to meet this last condition, which was very plaialy laid down in the United Statediaot.( Canadp's Fxouse, Tononto, Ont. Npy.

The real reason, how- ever, has not been giveu. Thefirst clause of the act passed by the Dowminion parli ment at Lhe last session says: ‘‘ls vessels wod wrecking applisnces may save any prop- orty wrecked, and wmay render aid aud ws- sistance to suy vessel wrecked, disabled or tress in Lhe waters of Canada, coutig- uous to the United States.” The Unitea States government, 1t appears claims that the privilege stould extena to the canals of Cana but it cannot be con- tended for @ momeut that thoy are contig- UoUS Walers.

To add to the confusion the Tomachic peoplo violated the eivil law. In this tney were sustained by tho “Mald of Caborea.” Sho encournged them in defying tho law of the land, The result was that the maid was ex- pelled from Mexican terrvitory and is now living at Nogales, Ariz, and known as Santa Teresa, while tho brave detenders of To- machic, save a few prisoners, are lifeless and in their graves. Thus another crime can be laid to the door of misplaced religious zeal and fanaticism.
