CHICAGO , 111. , April 18. Tlio remarkable
suicide of wealthy Horace O'Donoghuo , sui > -
poscd to bo duo solely to a sudden insane
impulse on hearing his wife read an account
of the death of ililliot F. Shcpard , was re
vealed today as probably the result of largo
financial embarrassments involving a num
ber of Chicago publishing houses. O'Dono
ghuo was standing before a mirror and
while his wife was intently reading , picked
up a razor nnd practically beheaded himself.
The general impression at the time of
O'Donoghue's death was that ho was In easy
circumstances. The failure last week of H.
J. Smith & Co. . subscription bookpublishers ;
of the Melbourne Publishing company , whoso
specialty was in rnprints , and the Nile C.
Smith Publishing company , who were giving
their attcntio'n to getting out translations
from the French , have , it is said , put a dif
ferent face upon O'Dotioghuo's affairs. Tlio
Chicago and Philadelphia houses of H. J.
Smith it Co. confessed Judgment. The firms
of Charles II. Slegel & Co. , F. Schulto &
Co. and the Nile C. Smith Publishing com
pany are involved , but are making arrange
ments for financial assistance , which will
nnublo thntn to COlltlllUC.
The relations of these firms to O'Donoghuo
is explained us follows : O'Donoghuo printed
and bound their books. Ho did first-class
work , was a very amiable man to do busi
ness with , and when it came to settlements
was found to bo most accommodating. Cash
was no object to him. his customers notes
were Just as acceptable and , in fact , Just as
useful , and the banks were willing to carry
a largo amount of paper with his endorse
ment. This fact was the cause of the com
plications , for a time came when O'Donoghuo
needed quito a sum of money , and how easy
It was to ask these customers ot his whom
ho had repeatedly assisted for "accommoda
tion notes. " Ho got them , as a matter of
course , and in amounts twice and thrice the
size of their Indebtedness to him. Ono of
them Is reported to have said that bo
"wouU have trusted O Docojhuo for moro
than ho would the First National
panic. " There was friendship between
him and his customers nnd thcro
was confidence in his financial responsibility.
which nothing could shake ; nothing except
what did happen. The total amount of those
accommodation notes is said to bo from
$75,000 to 1 = 100,000 , but even with this heavy
amount , it Is said ho might have pulled
through and might have done so , but for the
worry incident to this largo indebtedness ,
secured on personal relationship nnd tem
porary arrangement. These notes were soon
to como duo. Ho could not pay them.
Neither could he face those friends of his
and tell them of his failure.
It Is believed that O'Donoghuo's estate will
bo found sulllcicnt to take care of all the
indebtedness in time , but the demands of tlio
banks upon these endorsers of "accommoda
tion notes , " which ho floated , is making the
best of thorn squirm.

KANSAS Cirr , Mo. , April IS. A Topeka
special to the Times says that a committee
of Santa Ko strikers from Argentine
today received an emphatic assurance
from Governor Lowe-King that in case
ho was called upon to furnish
troops to protect the railroad's property , ho
will absolutely refuse to do so. It Is said
also that he promised the strikers if they
were In need of aid that ho would send
Adjutant General Artz to Argentina with
Instructions to Insure the rights of the
strikers.
At Argentine another strike of no small
proportions is threatened. The Brotherhood
of Shop Employes has u grievance now ,
which It is trying to settle , and If unsuccess
ful the men say they will strike Thursday.
The grievance Is the discharge of two men ,
who were lot out because they had retaliated
when a certain foreman over them had
abused them while ho was drunk.
The engineers and firemen held a meeting
today , but took no decided action , aim there
will bo no strike among them tomorrow nt
least. Some of the strikers claim that the
Santa Fo company has n carload of scabs en
route hero and that they will arrive In the
morning. Should this rumor prove true and
the men attempt to work the strikers v * 111
undoubtedly make it hot for them. Trouble
is looked for. There are two or three me
chanics working in Argentine and the men
are very confident of ultimate success
The trainmen's organization adjourned
their meeting late tonight but would not
give out a word as to what they Intended to
do. There is reason to believe , however ,
that a strike Is imminent.
Governor trowelling could not no seen to
night in regard to the story that ho would
refuse state aid to the railway company and
would furnish it to the strikers.

bers of the advisory board of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers are In the city
today and have held one. secret session. The
committee refuses absolutely to throw any
light upon the significance of their presence
here. It is admitted on all sides , however ,
that the meeting is only the beginning of a
general campaign nf ilof 01190 or attack upon
the railroads , and it is moro than likely that
if the Lake Shore refuses to reinstate the
strikers , they will have any amount of
trouble with the brotherhood.

CHURCHILL ON HOME RULE
Ho Makes a Vlgoiom Spoccli iu Opposition
to tliat Measure.
OBJECTIONS URGED AGAINST THE BILL
1IU Hitter ArgmiiriiM Are Aimrrrcd In nn
Ahlo .Hproch by Mr. Morley Siippo- !
tlou * IVnrs IIHil by the
lllll' * lloomlc.i.
LONDON , April 18. In the House of Com
mons today the debate on the second read
ing of the homo rule bill was resumed. Lord
Randolph Churchill started the debate by
declaring that the crucial test of thu bill
was the provision of the unimpaired suprem
acy of the Imperial Parliament. Ostensibly
such supremacy was preserved , ns every
subject that would como before the
Irish Parliament remained within
the cognizance ot the imperial Par
liament , but really the supremacy of the Im
perial Parliament was rendered impotent by
Its being deprived of all control of the Irish
executive control of the vote of supply for
ralslm ; taxes. The creation of separate llscal
systems would reduce the British govern
ment to a position of great instability.
[ Hear , hear.J Then the Irish members ,
when present In the Imperial Parliament ,
mitrht decide in favor of one policy , and the
House of Commons , in their absence , might
decide in favor of an entirely different policy.
It was a philosophic Impossibility to create
one body with two centers of gravitation.
Lord Randolph , proceeding to consider the
functions of the Irish legislature , to bo cre
ated by the homo rule bill , said that the re
strictions upon the legislation of the pro
posed Irish Parliament were so ex
traordinary that 110 per cent of the Irish laws
might bo declared invalid. Thcro might bean
an appeal to the privy council , but it was
questionable whether its decision would
bind the parties. iThe existing ordinary
law , so far as concerned treason , felony ,
alienage , naturalization nnd trade out of
Ireland , was supplanted by the reference of
such cases to the exchequer tribunal , with
an appeal to the privy council , so that any
body might bo tried for treason before an
exchequer Judge without the ghost of a Jury.
[ Hear , hear. ]
Irish Chief Secretary Morlcy The clause
meant that the cases of that kind should go
before an exchequer judge instead of an
ordinary judge. Otherwise the procedure
is to bo the same.
Lord Randolph Churchill Then why did
not the bill say so ? As it stands it means
nothing of the sort. A jury is not mentioned
in it.
it.Lord
Lord Randolph then went on to discuss
the exercise of the veto power of the
viceroy.
Mr. Morlcy replied to Lord Randolph
Churchill tonight. "The opposition in its
arguments against the home rule bill. " he
said , "dealt almost exclusively with prophe
cies. To all these predictions of evil thcro
was one adequate reply : ' 1 do not btillevc
you. ' No safeguards will encompass them
nor sufllco to remove the evils the opposition
had predicted. Much had been said about
the sanguine liberal press. He could not pcr-
ceivo why liberal hopes were not at least as
substantial as unionist fears. [ Cheers. )
Only those who hoped , not those who feared ,
saw into the future of civilized communi
ties. " [ Cheers. ]
Clirlslluii Church Coiivcntlon.
A convention of the northeastern Ne
