BOSTON,. Fe.b.1 $4. Tragic in the ex
treme was the death of James Klein,
whose body wit found on ,ne bed in hi
room at No. IS Cortes street.
Only the day before he celebrated his
thirtieth birthday. He invited a large
number of 'his friends- he waa one of
the most popular men Jn Boston to his
suite of room and entertained them lav
ishly. .
He chatted, ate and drank with the
best of spirit, and seemed to be on good
terms with himself and the worM.
He left word with his landlady that he
wanted to be called at 7 a. m. When
she rapped at the door, there was no
answer. She went away and returned
later. Still no answer, came to her loud
and insistent knocking.
Fearing that something was wrong,
she called other lodgerB to her help and
with them mirst In the door.
On the bed lay Klein, dead, a Shadow
of a smile on his face, as if he were
sleeping peacefully.
On a chair near the bed lay a suit of
clean underwear, a pair of stockings,
shoes just polished and a suit of clothes.
In preparation for his funeral he had
undoubtedly gone about his death calmly
and laid these things aside.
IiSft Two Letters.
On a bureau were found two letters.
one addressed to his landlady and the
other to a young woman with whom he
haa been In lov. She works in the same
store as Klein, and, like him, Is popular,
efficient and highly esteemed. ,
In the note to his landlady, a pathetic
memento, Klein stated that he had no
relativea in this country. His sister
lives In Hungary with his mother. He
left the address of each and asked the
landlady aa a last favor to him to com'
munlcate with them.
The other letter was addressed to the
young woman who worked with htm and
Who saw him yesterday. To her he left
all the little property he possessed and
asked hr to remember him in years to
come.
"1 am tired of living," said one of the
letters. "I have been ill a Ions time and
have suffered greatly. The game of life
is too much for m. I have lost time
after time, and the prospect Is cold, dull
and gray. ....
Search Was "made by the lodgers of
the house and. by policemen of Station
Four, who sad,, been notified, for the
poison with which probably Klein had
done away, with himself, iiot a bottle,
box or package of any kind cquld be
found, in the bed or on the table or chair
near by.
, Until the medical examiner makes an
autopsy on the 'body, now at the City
Hospital Morgue, it will not be known
what agency sent Klein to his death.

ASTORIA, Feb. 14. "I thought when.
I stood In the legislative hall of th
lower house of. the Oregon Legislature
on last Friday night that the happiest
moment of my life had come to pais.
I had bean elected to the United States
Senate and my loyal rnenas were wua
with delight The position foi which
I bad so long striven had at last been
won, and the great happiness that came
to me baffles description. I thought
then that no event could possibly bring
more genuine pleasure to me.
'But I wa In error. There wa still
a greater moment to come 10 me a
time when I would feel that no other
time could compare with it This great
est and crowning happiness cam when
I stepped from the train at the depot
on Monday morning and looked into th
faces of the thousand who had a-
errinted to welcome me back to my own
city. v In tho upturned faces I saw
genutne gladness; snI my heart went
out to my own dear people as It could
never go out to others. I "would thst
language could express my gratitude.
To be able to tell my own people how
much I appreciate their sincere demon
stratlon In my honor would be a boon,
but I must leave them to Imagine what
words refuse to tell."
Thus spoke Senator Fulton to The
Journal representative at the conclusion
of the first demonstration of welcome
to him yesterday. The Senator's face
bore unmistakable signs of the worry
of the late contest, but he had forgot
ten everything In the magnificent wel
come that had been planned and sue
ecssfully carried out. Those who hsv
visited Astoria on occasions of the kind
realise what an Astoria demonstration
really Is; but yesterday Astoria eclipsed
II previous efforts. With one accord
her 10.000 people threw themselves Into
the celebration aa sincerely as 10.000
people couM, and when Senator Fulton
saw the magnificent tribute that his
fellow-townsmen had offered tears
welled up In his eyes and he turned his
head for a moment until the choking.
sensation passed.
Senator A. C. Smith address - was
an eloquent tribute, and the crowd
of between 7.000 and 8.000 was so well-
behnved that he could be heard for tw
blocks. As those erstwhile political op
ponents stood before the people, the one
lauding the other In his hour of tri
umph, the assembled multitude set up a
great cheer a cheer which denoted that
political strife hnd ceased to exist
Snjitor Smith spoke ef the sterling
worth of Astoria's favorite son, of the
difficulties with which his struggle for
the toga had been characterised, of the
prea. Joy of his home people at the
ultimate victory and of the love that
every mon, woman and child in the
community bore for "Charlie."
Senator Fulton was visibly affected,
and a tetriKh-kled down his cheek as
he steppVuforwardTl!orBSpoBd. Sena
tor Fulton launched Into the Astoria
Portland strife.
Pleads for dartaonyi
He put forth an eloquent plea for har
mony, and ajpUl he hoped he would never
again hear of sectionalism In Oregon.
There is room for both Portland and
Astoria on the Oregon map, and he hoped
the two cltlea would Work together for
their mutual advancement and forever
bury the hatchet. He believed the sec
tional feeling did not exist In his home
city, and regarded the impression pre
vailing elsewhere as an erroneous one.
The Columbia Kiver, he continued, could
not be top w&ll Improved, for the great
er that highway Is made the better It
will be for every community of the
ritate. He alluded to tho need of Im
proving the harbors of Tillamook, Ynq-
ulna and Coos Bays, and of the orfenlng
of the entire upper river to navigation.
Nearly every speaker referred to the
bad feeling which has been engendered
by the Portland newspaper trust's at
tacks on the city by the sea.
Evening Becsptioc
At night the Native Daughters, held a
reception at which Senator and Mrs.
Fulton met the laboring people of the
city. Two thousand person shook them
by. the hand. Among th vlsltorb were
many children, for each Of which the
Senator and his estimable wife had a
pleasant word. The parquet at the- Irv
ing Club commencing at 10 o'clock was
a pronounced success, and 'there aa
much rejoicing.
During the afternoon Senator and Mrs.

to Oregon In the halls of Congress, and
would make a-brllilant record. He Is a

himself on that' subject. It Is known
that next to XMtey. the Oeer people fa
vor the candidacy of Senator F. W. Mul

cupied a seat ro the State Senate dur-'
lng the recent session and voted with
the Oeer supporters until the break came
and he saw there was no longer a chance
for th man of hi choice. It is true
that Mulkey did -some rather energetic
flopping then, and, after casting several
ballots for Scott, finally landed In the
band wagon just before Fulton's vic
tory was achieved. But the fact that he?
lined up with Oeer and gave his sup
port to the candidate of the people has
left second kilay..oien for him In the
hearts ofOeeaod'-aer's followers.'
Henry .Ankeny.. a prominent Southern
Oregon mining man, and brother of the
recently elerted Washington Senator,
would not prove unacceptable, although
it is doubtfu whether Mr. Ankeny would
give up his business interests to make
the race. A. C, Woodcock, of Eugene.
and W. I. Vawter, of Medford, have also
been mentioned.,-
Besides George Brownell and L. T.
Harris from the Fulton ranks, there has
'also been mentioned Blnger Hermann, It
being pretty generally understood that
the reasofi he failed to enter the sena
torial contest was because he wanted
the surer and easier game of entering
Congress at the' bottom Instead of at
the top.
No official notification has yet seen
given by Gov. Chamberlain as to toe
date of the congressional election, whicn
must be called by him if Oregon is to

Matson, formerly sheriff ami coroner of
Cook County and a prominent politician,
died of heart disease yesterday after
noon at his home, 109 Cleveland avenue,
after a brief illness. He was taken 10
days ago with an indisposition, which
at first was diagnosed as pleurisy, but
which later developed Into the malady
that resulted In his death.
He was born In Norway in 1841, and
came to the United States in 1848, his
family settling in Wisconsin. He was
educated in tho Wisconsin publlo schools
and at Albion Academy and Milton Col

Oermsn-Amerloaa Sentiment.
One striking feature' of the Venesuelan
situation, and on that appears to have
escaped the attention of Berlin, is the
unanimity of public opinion in the
United States protesting against the ag
gressive action of the German Emperor.
That unanimity is all the more remark
able when it la remembered that the
large body of American citizens who in
dorse the protest If they have not ac
tually formulated it, are of German
descent. A superficial observer might
be tempted to suppose that the sympa
thies of this part of .the population
would be with the German aggressors.
This view. In fact, ha evidently been
held by the Kaiser" and his 'advisers,
and their surprise and mortification on
discovering their - mistake is possibly
at the bottom of the. exasperation be
