The correspondent adds that “most Russians are convinced that Rus- sm intends, soon or late, to take Herat.” The Times In an editorial upon the dis- patch says: “This may not portend any immediate action, but it can hardly be doubted that Russia has come to the con- that the psychological moment ressure can be brought te bear on Great Britain.

WILL TRAVEL BY BALLOON. VICTORIA, B. C., Feb. 14.—The steamer Amur, from Skaguay, has news from Dawson to February 1L Mail carriers TWOMENCOMMITSUICIDE Dixon Lewis Lee. Dixon Lewis Lee, a clerk In the freight auditor's department of the Southern Pa- cifie, residing at the corner of Seventeenth and Bryant streets, committed suicide at noon yesterday by shooting himself in the head while bathing in one of the tubs at the Harbor View Baths. His body was discovered later and was taken to the Morgue by Deputy Coroners Smith and Brown. Mrs. Lee was interviewed and stated that she knew of no cause that would impel her husband to take his life. He had, however, been drinking of late, and it is belleved that he drove the bullet into his brain while temporarily insane from the effects of the liquor. Lee was 33 vears of age and had been {n the employ of the railroad for the past few years. Recently he cultivated a taste for drink, and had often been found want- ing in his duties. His home was always made cheerful for him and his wife and only daughter sought to cure him of his craving. Yesterday morning he did not go to work, but instead boarded a ear for Har- bor View, where he intended to work off he effects of a drunk. He entered one ot the bathing apartments about noon and locked the door after him. At half- past 1 o'clock several persons about the place heard a shot. but from the fact that there were duck hunters near the place they did not belleve that it came from the baths. About 5 o’'clock an investigation was made and when the door of Lee's apartment was broken down It was found that he had placed a 28-caliber revolver agnlnut his left temple and pulled the lr;’mgng,eo’;. Lee's effects were found letters from Supervisor Duboce, Attorney F, Bert and Owen Wade. To the latter two was the derendanl '?
