SOLDIER COMMITS SUICIDE
Lieutenant Moore of Company L Takes His
Own Life ,
MOTHER PROSTRATED BY THE SAD NEWS
I'opnlnr Officer Snccntnlid < o llnnl-
millOrcrnurk mill K
III * nxlnteticc While
Fnr from Home ,
A cablegram was rcreUcd here yes
terday morning from Manila nnnounc-
Ing the suicide of First Lieutenant
John L. Moore of Company L , Fifty-first | i
Iowa volunteers. Lieutenant Moore was the
son of Mr. nnd Mrs. A. B. Moore of this
city. In the Inst batch of letters from
Manila mention wns made of the fact that
ho wns In the hospltnl and expected to be
out in a few dnys. He wns a general favorite
And was * hard-working , faithful and am
bitious ofilcoi. While In camp In Dos Molnos
ho twns prostrated from overwork , and it
was fully two weeks before ho recovered.
In the absence of any details It Is presumed
that Lieutenant Moore killed himself while
laboring under an attack of temporary In
sanity caused by the extreme heat. Ho was
about 25 years of uge.
The sad announcement was contained In
a cablegram received 'by ' Captain L. B.
Cousins from Second Lieutenant Mat Tlnloy.
All that the message said was "Lieutenant
Moore suicided last night. "
The news was broken as gently as possi
ble to Mrs. Moore , Who was completely
prostrated , the shock being all the greater
as ehe hail been looking forward to see her
son again In a few months. Mr. Moore was
out of the city when the sad news reached
hero nnd an cffo'rt was made to reach him
by telegraph , but up to late hour last
night It had failed.
The news of Lieutenant Moore's sad
death 'has ' caused universal sorrow through
out the city , as the gallant young officer
was a general favorite. Ever since the reg
iment has been in the Philippines the
greater part of the work of caring for Com
pany L has fallen on his shoulders , owing
to the elckness of Captain Pryor. Moore
had the interests and welfare of the bojs
under him always nt heart nnd he was never
content unless with them. Ho became so
111 from overwork that on May 8 ho was
relieved , but he stayed with the company
until May 20when he was forced to give
up. He begged to bo left in the field hospi
tal at San Fernando EO that ho might be
near the boys of the company and It was
against his protest that ho was removed
to the big hospltnl at Corregldor Island. In
all his letters home since sent to the hospi
tal he constantly bewailed his lot nnd eald
he would do anything If they would only
let him go back to his company.
W n lit Coiniiniiy L Returned.
A strong effort Is to be made 'by ' the rela
tives ami friends of the boys In Company
L to have the Fifty-first Iowa volunteers
returned from the Philippines as soon as
possible ) . This was decided on at the meet
ing yesterday afternoon of the Woman's
Sanitary Relief commission and a com
mittee consisting of Dr. Macrae , E. H. Ha-
worth , Freeman L. Reed , W. J. Jamison
and Captain L. B. Cousins was appointed
to take the matter up.
The regiment Is under orders to return
home , but the date of its departure from
Manila Js uncertain. The friends of the
eoldler boys arc anxious that they should
be landed In San Francisco not later than
September 1 , as they fear the consequences
if the regiment should not be brought back
until October or November. The change
from the tropical heat of the Philippines
to the climate of this country at that time
of , the year would. It is belle\ed , be In
jurious to and likely to cause much sick
ness , if not death , among the boys.
The relatives of the members of Com
pany L do not Intend to act alone In the
matter , but will solicit the co-operation
and support of every town having com
panies In the regiment. A petition will be
drawn up which after being signed by the
parents and relatives of the boys In Com
pany L wUl bo taken by the committee to
the other towns and the signatures secured
if possible of the parents of every soldier
In the regiment. This will bo done as
speedily as possible and as soon as the pe
tition Is signed It will be given to Governor
Shaw with a request that ho at once take
the matter of the return of the Teglmcnt
up T\Uh the authorities at Washington nnd
use all the influence In his power to have
the order Issued by the War department.
The members of the association feel that
now that the regiment IB under orders to
return there Is nothing unpatriotic In ask
ing that It bo sent home as noon as pos
sible. Letters from the boys who are now
stationed nt San Francisco show they are
all anxious to come homo and nro more
or 'less ' tiled of the fighting. The severe
heat lias decimated the ranks nnd a largo
number of both the officers and the men nro
In the hospital.
In a letter recently received from Sur
geon Macrae , ho writes that the hospital
fund of Company L , which has proven such
a godsend to the sick boys , Is almost ex
hausted , The commission yesterday tooK
steps to replenish it and a committee was
appointed to eoiicu sunscripiions irom mo
business men of the city , The committee
met with great encouragement nnd every
business house called upon responded most
liberally. Contribution boxes were placed
In some of the principal stores and hotels
and by this means , together with the sub
scriptions that are rapidly coming In , the
commission hopes to be enabled to cable a
respectable sum of rooney Saturday morning
to Surgeon Macrae at Manila.

OMAHA , Neb. . July 18. To the Barbers'
Protective Association of Council Bluffs
j , Gentlemen : Having watched with Intirest
your every move In the noble struggle for
Sunday closing , I take the liberty to thank
1 you In behalf of the barbers' association ot
, tills btate for > our persevering efforts In
attempting to secure for yourselves nnd jour
! craft the God-given right to rest upon ( ho
Sabbath , also tendering you the moral
and financial support of the Nebraska State
Barbers' Protective association , of which I
have the honor of being the highest oin-
lal. I also beg to Inform you that local No.
1 of Omaha , Neb. , n body holding charter un
der this association , has duly elected fra
ternal delegates to your association , asking
In return that > our association may return
this favor , that a closer relation nnd n bet
ter understanding may bo brought about be
tween the two organizations , Realizing as
we do that the Interests of one are the concern -
corn of nil ; that If nil arc concerned nil must
net , combining their strength In an effort to
wlpo out such damnable mechanical prostl-
tutoa as the barbers of Council Bluffs
and Philadelphia , Pn. , have recently como
Into contact with ; that wo may crush out the
Bornhardl element that la attempting to ape
plutocracy by the contention that shaving
Is an actual necessity that must bo per
formed every day In order to preserve the
health of the public ; that society may relegate -
gate to the rear such professional and so 'lal
renegades as have ujjon their oath Insulted
the medical profession , the barber trade nnd
every liberty-loving citizen in the land.
It le a well known fact that in almost
every town of any size in this country
there exists a tiumano society whoso duty
It Is to see that the dumb brute Is not
abused. Allow me to Inquire , where Is the
humane society In Council Bluffs ? It one
exists it could not perform n more worthy
act than to protect a craft which Is being
compelled , contrary to Its will , to labor seven
days per week In order to please n few
miserable wretches , who scruple at nothing
In order to carry their own point nnd to
make their power felt. I ask , where is your
ministerial union that Is dally praying for
the salvation of souls ? Have the ministers
of your city slunken Into obscurity the mo
ment the barbers have sought to avail them
selves of the teachings of the pulpit , that
all men are Justly entitled to rest upon
the Sabbath , that they may worship God ac
cording to the dictates of their own con
sciences ? Where Is organized labor that It
sits quietly by , sullenly submitting to this
dastardly crime that Is being forced upon
a part and parcel of Its ranks without even
making a feeble effort to lend Its assist
ance ? Where le the law-abiding citizen who
aelloves In equal enforcement of the law ,
who believes in equal rights to all and spe
cial privileges to none ? Has ho , like the
mighty Grover , gone fishing In a time
when his moral support Is needed to Insure
to an humble and law-abiding clase a God-
given and constitutional right , a right as
e pressed by the Declaration of Independ
ence "that all men are created equal , that
wo hold that they are endowed by the Cre
ator with certain inalienable rights ; that
among these are life , liberty and the pur
suit of happiness. " Can there be liberty era
a chance for the pursuit of happiness ro
eng as a person Is compelled to labor from
7 in the morning until 8 to 11 In the night ,
including the Sabbath ? I beseech jour
organization to stand firm , and In the end
you will eurely win. Yours fraternally ,

Supreme President N. B. A.

SHAMROCK IS NOT DAMAGED
Sir Thomas Lipton Interviewed on Condition
and Prospects of the Yacht.
GREAT BRITAIN IS PROUD OF THE BOAT
I'rliice or Wnlp * I'eel * Snrr tlio Clinl-
ICIIRCI- Will Meet Midi 1'iilr I'lny
In the Content for the
America' * Cup.
SOUTHAMPTON , July 20. Sir Thomns
Lipton , on tier of the American's cup chal-
Utiger , Shamrock , was Interviewed today
by the Associated Press correspondent on
board the yncht Erin regarding the- damage -
ago , If any , sustained by Shamrock In
grounding off South sea at the conclusion
of yesterday' trial race with Britannia.
Sir Thomas said : "Wo are so convinced
thatyesterday's _ Grounding of Shamrock WHS
perfectly harmless that wo nrt > uot even
going to ha\o the yacht examined. " Shnm-
rock sailed for the Clyde this afternoon.
Sir Thomas continued"The Shamrock
will forthwith be rigged for Us transat
lantic voyage on which It will call us noon
ns possible , I hope by the end of this month.
After the trial ractts thin weuk both Mr.
Fife and : nyelf wcro mnxlnced that the
Shamrock Is a magnificent \cssel and the
llnost over seen on tills side Tbo wnv It
i an away from the BrltannU proves not
merely that It Is the better boat , but an un-
oxccptlonally flue racer. You must remem
ber It was not neon at Its best either day.
Tuesday It did not carry as much cnnsnss
as the Britannia , whllo yesterday It had
a smaller mainsail than it Is Intended It
will carry. Wo can not n much larger main
sail In the coming contests If It Is deemed
advisable. Wo arc satUllcd that If yester
day's race bad been completed the challen
ger would have won by tialf an hour. The
Shamrock has realized Mr. Pita's fullest an
ticipations , and I , myself , am more than sat
isfied.
'Of course I cannot say how the Shamrock
compares with the Coiumb'a. but we nro
satisfied that wo have a game boat , and cal
culating by Its performances against the
Britannia and the lattcr's u.-ulnst the Vig
ilant and the Vili.vrlo we cxoect to make
at lenat a good showing.
" 1 would like to reiterate through the
Associated Press my he.ntlest appieclatlou
of the manner In which the Americans have
conducted all negotiations. They have acted
throughout like sportsmen and It I had made
all the arrangements myself 1 could ao ; have
drawn up more satisfactory regulations. As
the Prince of Wales said with emphasis af
ter Tuesday's contest , when expressing Ills
admiration of the Shamrock at dinner on
board the Erin : 'I hope the best boat may
win. but In any case I know , Sir Thomao ,
that you will be sure of meeting fair play
from our American friends and that the con
test for the America's cup will bo carried
out on both sides In the true sporting eplrli
with love of Justice.1
"In reply I assured the Prince of Wales
that the support he had given and the- keen
Interest he had manifested In the challenge
had been the greatest stimulus and the
greatest encouragement In view of the pecu
liar circumstances of the challenge. "
It appears that the Prince of Wales ex-
perlencijd much trouble In boarding the
Britannia yesterday morning. A choppy sea
was running at the time and the waves
surged up between the Britannia and the
launch , catching the prlnco and drenching
his royal highness to the skin. Ho per
sisted and finally boarded the yacht , though
his attendants were most anxious.
It is reported that the Now York Yacht
club has consented to the Shamrock 'being '
towed by the Erin in the event of being
becalmed In crossing the Atlantic. The
Shamrock is a mere shell and quite empty
below deck. When the Prince of Wales
boarded it and went below ho found himself
in n vessel destitute of ordinary partitions
and , looking from end to end he said in a
surprised way : "Why , It's like a street per
fectly empty. " The correspondent of the
Associated Prers had an Interview today
with Captain Carter , -who , besides sailing
the Britannia , commanded the Gencsta when
successful in American waters. When told
that Sir Thomas Lipton could have won by
half an hour yesterday Captain Carter re
plied :
"Yes , I believe It would. It Is a splendid
boat. With regard to the criticism that It
did not sail eo well as might have been
expected 'before ' the wind. It must bo re
membered that It carried only Its email top
sail. Nobody will be more pleased than my
self to see the Shamrock win and the
Prlnco of Wales will bo equally well
pleased. He undoubtedly was delighted to
have the Shamrock prove such a flyer , , as
wo want to capture the America's cup If'we
can. Without the slightest doubt the Sham
rock Is magnificent beating to windward. "
Captain Carter , who ha no sympathy with
the policy of enveloping the Shamrock In
a fog of mystery , said that Americans have
shown they have nothing to learn from
Oreat Britain in the building of racing
yachts. "It li all the other way , " said
Captain Carter. "There was no need to
wrap up the Shamrock In petticoats. The
Americans probably know as much about her
as they desire. "
SHORTAGE OF RAW MATERIAL
General Coinjilnlnt from Manufac
turer * of IMnlNlied. 'Iron '
I'roilnctn.
NEW YORK , July 20. Discussing trade
conditions , the Iron Ago will say today :
Every market report deals with the story
of the scarcity of material and the advanc
ing tendency In prices for delivery during
the next four or six months. Values are
exceedingly firm for the balance of this
year , and the possibility of higher prices
Is being faced. Complaints of delays In
deliveries continue frequent , particularly so
far as old low-priced contracts are con
cerned. Some large concerns , however , re
port that they are beginning to catch up a
little. Some consumers are beginning to
face the question of supply of material for
the first half of next year. The convic
tion Bcems general that It Is safest to cover
for any contracts taken , but thus far the
quantities Involved seem to be moderate.
There tas been some buying of pig Iron
for 1900 , tout so far as wo can ascertain
good , sound concerns are having prices
named to them considerably below those
now prevailing. This Insures to the mak
ers a very handsome profit on a part of their
tonnage.
A comparison of prices shows that since
July , 1898 , values on nearly the whole line
of raw and finished materials have Junt
about doubled , and In eomo casen the rise
has gone beyond that.

ON THE ALASKAN QUESTION

lloliiK Clcnreil I p.
WASHINGTON , July 20. The return from
Alaska of Senator Fairbanks , head of the
American section of the Anglo-American
commission , has brought to a decisive Issue
the future of this body , not only as It relates
to the Alaskan boundary , but the entire
scope of Its work.
Following extended conferences between
Mr. Fairbanks and Secretary Hay , 9 well
as the president , dispatches have been ex
changed between the British and Canadian
authorities and these In Washington which
nro serving to clear up the doubt and con
fusion -which has thus far existed. Already
It Is assured practically beyond a doubt that
the commission will not resume Its pension *
at Quebec on the 2nd of next month , to
which tlmo It had adjourned , but that Its
reassembling will bo In the late fall If tha
negotiations reach euch a. stage that the
continuance of the work of the commission
seems desirable.
Thus far the boundary question appears
to bo the great stumbling block. This lack
of agreement linn continued so long that
these In a position to Judge the situation
Intelligently , while they have not despaired
of an adjustment , frankly admit that the
negotiations continue to be In n critical
state. When seen today , Mr. Fairbanks
would not discuss the future of the com
mission or any of the International pharos
of the subject ,
The senator had another conference with
Secretary Hay thin morning and also called
at the War department. It Is understood
that a further talk on the Alaskan question
will occur nt the White House this after
noon and. that as a result of thin and the
numerous exchanges which nro occurring
with the British and Canadian parties In
Interest n definite conclusion on most of the
points Involved will bo reached very soon.
