Gent sch committed suicide fay (hooting yesterday. Mr. Gentsch left his house at south Buffalo at 10 o'clock to go for a walk in his garden. When he did not return |to dinner a search was made for him. It was found that on leaving the house he had taken with him a revolver which he rarely carried, and selecting a place well away from the houses and hidden by acl.ump ot bushes, had fired a bullet into his brain through the right temple. He died almost instantly. Mr. Gentsch came to America pennils— He wm established in business in Buffalo In 185i m * manufacturer of pickles and mustard, and was worth about a quarter of a million of dollars. He was appointed postmaster tour jean ago by President Harrison, and only two weeks ago relinquished the ofBoe to hia successor, Howard H. Baker. It was generally believed that Mr. Gentsch would have been the republican choice for mayor this fall. Worry over losses sustained in speculative enterprise* is the Supposed cause foe the deed.

" Cuxhaven's SOOeh Anniversary. Hamburg,. July 16.—Cuxhaven, the port of Hamburg, celebrated yesterday the five-hundredth anniversary of its founding. On land there waa the usual historical parade with floats, and at sea a procession of forty large steamers passed in review before the town. In the evening there were fireworks and an illumination. Debs' Work Worm Than War. Lojjdos, July 18.—The Times says in a leader on the A. K. U. strike: "Debs and his coadjutors have done as mnch to harm the industries of America in a week aa the Con fed rata army did in months." District-Attorney Milchrist said that the contempt proceeding! against Debs and other officers of the A. K. U. would probably not begin in the United States circuit court until Judge Grosscup returns to the city the latter part of the week. The army of state and national troops, the deputy marshals of the. United States and the city police are having little to do except rest on their arms, watch the thousands of sightseeing citlsens who oongTegate wherever there is a military camp. The telegrams received by the railway anion officers from their organisers and strike leaders in the western states indicate that there is more of a railroad strike on the transcontinental linee outside Chicago than here, and the strength of the union is expected to be concentrated at those points. Yesterday afternoon the strikers of the stock yards district gathered over • thousand strong at 47th street and Halstead to hear the eloquent president, Mr. Debs. Many workingmen who ars not strikers were also present and shouted their sympathy for the American Railway union and approval of the decision not to declare the strike off unconditionally. The union officers are still claiming accessions to the ranks of strikers and many new members enrolled who were at work, but could be relied on to go out when ordered.The leaders of the American Railway anion are devoting their time mainly to encouraging their followers to stand Arm and appealing to those not la the ranks of the strikers to join In the movement. The confidence of the men who are out In the ability of the union executive officers to win the strike and their faithfulness to the cause of the rank and file does not appear to have waned in the least. Chicago, July 16. —The put 19 hour* have been the quietest in the history of the railroad strike, admitting the claims' of President Debs and his colleagues that the strike is in force and effect as much as ever. ■\ \ I would not advise you to hold your breath until it passes.

U. has mad* an estimate of the running expense* of the office force at 1400 a week. The largest telegraph bill for one day was tflOO, and the association has lieenaccumulating money for over a year. For the month of June the receipts at headquarters for dues alone were over •10,000. One day's receipts for the dues this month, seen by a reporter of the United Press, footed up nearly 91,000.

Instead the organisation is in a flourishing condition financially. K. U. Is Bankrupt* WELiIj off financially. No Truth In tbo Report That the A. COST OF THE GREAT 8T111KH. It Will Run Up Into the Millions, Bays One Railroad Man. Chicago, July 16.— Now that the railcoada are getting their traffic in shape and business is assuming its normal condition some speculation as to the cost of the great strike to the railroads and others in Chicago alone may be interesting. All the general managers' can say at present is that they have insufficient data to haaard an opinion that could be relied spoil. Urged to make a guess, one of them Mid the losses of the roads would reach at least ♦5.000,000, and might go as high as (8,000,- 400. He declined to permit the use of his name, however, as the father of the r»n dom opinion. ill L-»« «- It wiH probably ba many weeks before ibe muugera can secure ttgurtw for a detailed report. Many things must be taken into consideration. Tho loss occasioned by auspended traffic will be the 'largest item, but the destruction of property will be by no uieansa small one. Nearly 600 Pan Handle cars were destroyed in one blase, and of this number 86 are known to have contained merchandise. It will be necessary to learn from the shippers invoices just what those 08 cars contained before any computation of loss can be made, and that will take much time. Within the city limits towsr houses have been burned and tracks torn up. Damage has been done in many railroad shops and enormous sums expended in defendiug the roads against rioters. It is reported that the bluff is held by the Mosquito*. The government will ■end 1,000 soldiers there. All is quiet here.

Chicago, July 16.— It has just developed that Chairman Heathcote, of the committee of strikers at Pullman, tent a letter Thursday to President Debs of the A. R U.,. asking him to call off the boycott anil strike. No answer has been returned aaj yet. | A Statement Made That the Pslliss This is the same young lady whose death was printed in a Portland pap er, a notice haviug been received by an anonymous postal card. It is evident that some one has a spite against her. The man's motive is a puzzle. He was a stranger to the girl. A physician found that no violence had been done her, nor was there an attempt at a criminal assault. When Mrs. Bennett returned she found the outside door closed and her daughter insensible. He then went into the parlor, tipped over the furniture, throwing small articles on the floor and doing much small damage. He then went upstairs to the young lady's room, took all her dresses and underclothing and cut them to pieces with a knife. He also cut open the bedclothes and a sofa cushion. Portland, Me., July 16.—A strange affair is reported from Old Orchard. Mrs. A. Dennett and her daughter Grace, 10 years old, of this city, have a summer cottage there. Saturday night Graoa was alone in the bouse, her mother being at Snco, when a man knocked at the door and asked If the young lady was alone. He attempted to enter, but the girl told him to keep ont. He knocked her down, hitting her in the stomach an! leaving her insensible on the floor. DASTARDLY SPITE. An Unknown Man Wrecks Fnrnt tore and Slaahea a O irl's Clothing. flcrrrsl Outrages at Wichita. WICHITA, Knn., July IB.—Another oatrage was attempted on the RoMt Island road at South Enid shortly before daybreak, some unknown men exploding a charge of dynamite under the bridge just north of the town. The guard stationed at the bridge was fired at, and retired to secure reinforcements when the dynamite was planted and discharged without doing much damage. The telegraph wire between the government townsite and the depot at North Knid was cut daring the night. A number of deputy marshals from North Enid were chased out of the south town early In the morning. A large body of citizens attacked them with clubs. Several of the citizens of South Enid also have been ordered to leave town on pain of death because of the stand they have lakoa against the outlawry. the soldiers alone, and when sul pay for an encampment.

"I don't see how we can have an encampment," said the governor this morning. "The strikes have cost us enormously, and we have nothing in the treasury te NO ENCAMPMENT THIS Have Coat the State of IUI Too Mnch Money. May Block the Meaanre by Speeches Until Angnat lO — Appropriation Bills Nearly Completed by the Senate—The Work of'General Interest Now Before the Houaev Washington, July 10.—The senate has made such rapid progress with the appropriation bills that it is quite possible that the elose of the week will see all the departments of the government provided for for the present fiscal year. When this result has been accomplished the minority will occnpy a position of singular advantage in regard to the conference reports on the tariff. Should those features of the house bill which the "conaervative" democrats and the republicans most object to be reinstated in the conference report it will be iu their power to say "Well, now, gentlemen, we are quite ready to vote to adjourn or to Btay here and discuss this mutter until the Fourth of next March, if need be, and there is no rule by which you can shut off debate or compel the adoption of a conference report which does not concede something to our views." i If after the appropriation bills are disposed of, the republicans in both senate and house should combine to break a quorum, it is doubtful whether the democrats would be able without extraordinary effort to hold their forces together, and to command sufficient veils to adopt the conference report. Some inore aggressive republican opponents of the tariff bill are already hinting at the possibility of such a contingency arising. But the better opinion seems to be that some kind of an adjustment will be arrived at, though not until after the first of August—the date now fixed for the bill to take effect—has passed. August 10 is the date which one of the most active of the conferees names as the time when he hopes to see the bill signed by the president. There are no other important measures pending between the two houses which the senate is in any humor to take up. The anti-option bill was talked to death in the senate in the last congress, and it would meet with equally strong opposition if called up for senate action at this session. Almost as much opposition would await the bill to forfeit unearned railroad land grants which the house passed last week. Houee of Representatives The managers of the house think they see daylight ahead, and that so far as measures of general interest and importance are concerned the present week will put them all out of the way. To-day is being given to the consideration of Representative Bailey's bill for a uniform system of bankruptcy, the vote on its passage to be taken at 4:30 o'clock. By the terms of the order agreed upon, one hour will be devoted to general debate and two hours to debate on proposed amendments under the five-minute rule. In case the bill is out the way in time, the judiciary committee will be recognized before adjournment, so that it will have all of to-morrow's session for the discussion of measures reported from it. Nine bills have been selected by the committee for presentation, but manifestly it will be impossible to consider them all. One of these, which is considered ot much importance, is that to establish a system of salaries for the marshals, clerks and attorneys ot the United States courts, and abolishing the practice of paying fees. The bill is in some sense an outcome of the investigation into the reported abuses by officials of the United States courts in Massachusetts and Alabama. Wednesday will be given to the committee on military affairs to clear the more important bills, the passage of which it has recommended. MORE THAN aOO LIVES LOST. The Earthquake Panic at Constantinople Does Not Abate. Constantinople, July 16.—The panic caused by the earthquake does not abate. Tha rumbling ot a heavy cart or the rattling of widows from a sudden breeze suffices to send the occupants of nearby houses headlong into the street. The families in the parks, cemeteries and smaller open spaces are preparing to camp out for several days more; all who can ate replacing their tents with little wooden huts. The rich families have sought refuge on the upper Moephorus. Business is virtually stagnant. Apart from trade in food, there is no buying and selling in the city. It is believed that more than 900 lives wen lost. j % f v A1 the Seasonable Novelties.
