W ashington, Ja n . 18.— In her a p art­
m ents in th e W ellington hotel last
night Mrs. L ucille Lane, youngest
daughter of ex-Senator B lackburn, of
K entucky, shot herself. According to
the statem ent given out by the family,
the shooting was accidental.
Both
Mrs. L ane’s physicians refused to d is­
cuss the subject, even to th e extent of
saving w h eth er or not the wound would
prove fatal, but from the best th a t can
he learned she will probably recover,
although now suffering severely from
th é shock.
A friend of the fam ily nom inated to
give ont a statem en t said th a t about
m idnight Saturday Mrs. Lane was pre­
paring to retire. H er husband at the
tim e was in th e adjoining room look­
ing over a paper. Mrs. L ane opened a
bureau draw er to get a handkerchief,
and picked up a handful of glove j and
laces which had been tossed to g ith er
in the drawer. Under th is fluffy mass
was a tin y lad y ’s pistol, a gift to Mrs.
Lane from lier father, and a possession
of w hich she w as particularly fond. It
caught in a piece of lace as she raised
her hand, and, falling of its own w eight,
struck th e ham m er on the edge of
th e open drawer. The pistol exploited,
and thg ball penetrated lier left breast.
W hat became of the ball it is im possi­
ble to say. According to the statem ent
given out, it struck a rib and ranged
around beneath the left shoulder, m ak­
ing a superficial wound. A t the same
tim e it is said Mrs. Lane is suffering
so from tlie shock th a t the pliysicans
have devoted all th e ir energies to allay­
ing her pain w ith o u t attem pting to
definitely ascertain th e extent of the
injury.
T he most precise statem ent
th a t e ith e r physician would make to­
night was th a t Mrs. Lane would prob­
ably live u n til m orning.
A t th e reqnest of th e fam ily, the
block in which th e hotel is situated
lias been roped off. E x-Senator Black­
burn is deeply affected by the occur­
rence.
H e does not live witli his
d au g h ter, and when the affair occur­
red was sum m oned from iiis room on

John Lincoln, of Bolshow, Mo , has j
applied to the M arysville board of ex­
am ination for a pension. Lincoln and
ids sister, Mrs. W ashington Hoshor, of
M arysville, were second cousins ol
A braham Lincoln. Jo h n Lincoln en­
listed early in the ’60’s in th e F ourth
Missouri and served in th a t regiment
fur th ree years. He then enlisted in
th e 13th Missouri cavalry, and served
to th e end of the war. Before he was
finally m ustered out he fought Indians
on the plains for some tim e.
Fred Lewis, a prisoner in the Seattle
city jail, com m itted suicide in his cell
by hanging him self w ith a pocket h and­
kerchief, which was fastened to a hook
used in suspending a hammock. Lewis,
who was a w aiter in a hotel, had a tight
on New Y ear’s day w ith Joseph Kurtx,
th e head cook, in which he struck
K urtz on th e head w ith an icepick,
inflicting a woundrfrom the effects of
which K urtz died. Lewis wa« arrested,
but no formal charge hail yet been made
against him , pending th e result of
K u rtz’ wounds. W hen th e news ol
K u rtz’ death was conveyed to Lewis,
he allowed great agitation, and a short

out in the Boston dry goods store, in
the Odd F ellow s’ building, on Broad­

fire was extinguished, th e block waa
practically a total loss. It was insnred
for $25,000, w hich is believed to be
th e full value. The dense smoke pene­

Tlie smoke also penetrated the opera

MR.
21,
W ashington, Jan . 17.—The senate
com m ittee on privileges and elections
today decided to make an adverse report
on II. W. C orbett’s claim to a seat in
the senate from Oregon. The vote was
four to three, on party lines, except th a t
Senator Burrows, Republican, who was
absent, was counted, upon his au th o r­
ity, as being in opposition to Corbett.
T here were two votes, tlie first being
upon tlie motion to declare Mr. Corbett
en titled to his seat, w hich was support­
ed by Messrs. C handler, Hoar and
P ritch ard , Republicans, and opposed by
Messrs. Caffery and P ettus, Democrats,
A llen, Populist, and Burrows, Repub­
lican, of Michigan.
Senator Spooner
was paired w ith T urpie, the former for
and the latter against the motion. The
motion was then made to declare Mr.
C orbett not entitled to his seat, and
was carried by the above vote, reversed.
T he voting was preceded by quite a
general discussion, based upon a report
prepared by Senator Pettus, on behalf
of the opposition.
This report took
tlie position th at the question involved
is praotically tlie same as that involved
in tiie M antle case, and this case
should lie allowed to stand as a prece­
dent. Senator P ettus made an argu­
m ent in favor of establishing a princi­
ple of action in such cases, ami allow­
ing it to stand, taking the position th at
tiiere was danger in not taking the
same comae every tim e the political
oomplexion of the senate changes.
The friends of Mr. C orbett are not
sure of a single Democrat, Populist or
silverite in favor of seating him , and,
w ith Burrows and one or two other Re­
publicans opposed to him , they fear an
adverse vote in tlie senate. Tho oppo­
sition of tlie fusion elem ent is drawn
together, because of the well-known
gold views of Senator Corbett. Tlie
case is made more partisan on th at
account.
H avana, Ja n . 18.— Although o u t­
wardly order is restored here, great ex­
citem ent continues, and unless the
newspapers exercise, under the present
press censorship, great prudence, a gen­
eral revolt is probable with much
bloodshed, because in . itch an event
the arm y and volunteers would fra te rn ­
ize.
G eneral B lanco's position is more

in T hibet of Henry Bavage Landor, the

deavoring last autum n to reach Lassa,
the capital of Thibet, says:
“ H is valuable diary and nutes, in ­
cluding interesting photographs, was
only interrupted when Mr. Landor
him self was under torture. One of
these represents the scene of torture of
a native companion, tied naked to a

cle of hideous beings dancing around,

A nother photograph, taken after the
rescue, shows two unrecognizable men,
all the h air burned off their heads, the
skin lacerated and seamed w ith burns,
und in place of th eir eyes two ghastly
slits.
“ Mr. Landor lost one eye. The
T hibetans repeatedly held w hite hot
irons so close to th e eyes of their cap­

shrivel and w ither them . Mr. Lander
was rescued when nearly dead, after be­
ing three days w ithout food or water,

Larkin and Kansk Singh P at, nephew
of the rajaw ar of Askote, w ho had

" I n every city of the U nited States

be prom ptly made tiiat the law ol n a ­

“ T iiat denial is now prolonging u n ­

New York, Ja n . 17.— Thomas A. E d­

utilizing th e w ave power of th e sea.
When in plnce tlie m achine will be
miles out at sea and will consist of u
series of gigantic a ir pumps
Tlie air

dynamos.
For $35,000,000 Mr. Edison eon con­

supply tiie en tire state of Now York.
He says th a t a powerful syndicate has
the m atter of im m ediate construction
of the p lant under consideration.
His
plans are said to be practically com­
plete.
T he Ellison wave m achine is a series
of gigantic air pumps. The piston of
tho m achine stands upright upon a p la t­
form which is pierced by a long piston
rod. Upon the lower part of th e piston
roil is a big flat flout, which rests upon
th e water and is movable by tlie rise
and fall of tlie sea.
A wave passing
ander th e float would elevate the piston
(lower, fully compressing the air already
contained in th e cylinder. T his pres­
sure will be transm itted directly to the
storage tank for compressing air.
By
an arrangem ent of oscillators sufficient
a ir w ill be adm itted behind the piston
to retu rn it quickly to its position upon
the w ater, where it will be ready to re­
ceive the force of tlie next wave.
