Whi ehorse, Jm. 30? An examination
ot the papers left by Edward Birtcn,
who committed suicide here yesterday
makes it clear that the decca?ed con
templated the taking of his life for
some time, and that th- deed was de
liberately planned, bf left a letter
addressed to Otto Kastner, who was a
partner in the Dawson firm of Barton
Bros., and who was a traveling com
panion, which ia d?*d ihe evening
previous, and in which Jauon bids bis
friend ana business partner gooJ-bye.
H? also left a will bequ?<*Hog all his
property to his brother, Greer Barton,
of Dawson, who is now on his way to
this city to take charge of the remains.
No motive has so far developed for
the deed and when all the circum
stances are considered the mastery
deepens rather than ci?ars. Th* trav
eling companons of the dead man say
that he teemed the least lively of men
to have harbored thought? of self-des
trucioo during the period they were
with him on the trip.
Mr. Kaatner is still here and will re
main unlit the arrival of G* er. The
remain* have been enbalmeu. A lead'
casket arrived from Skagway today.
What dispoaiti >n the brother may
make of the body is oot known

III NEVADA
(By United Press.)
Canon City, Nev., Jan. 30.? Governor
Sparks hai signed the bill providing
for the tttablisbment of a state police,
and it la. therefore, a law and only re
mains to be put into force; the police
system organized. The law was
made necessary through lack of power
In the hands of county commissioners
to enlist a sufficient force to maintain
order In anv time of extraordi
nary stress such as has prevailed not
alone at Goldfieid but in many other
parts of Nevada. Nor was this so
moch tbe trouble as the lack of confi
dence In tbe officers whose duty it was
to enforce the law under the estab
lished oonditlooa. Notwithstanding
the new law, however, the people are
petitioning tbe president to maintain
troops at Gold field.

Lisbon Jan. 30 ? The stories that the republican move
ment has been completely checked and the agitators for a
change in the form of government brought under subjec
tion have been denied in the most forcible manner within the
last two days. Rioting has been in progress for the past
several days and only the severest censorship over the news
sent out from here has allowed the world to believe the cri
sis had passed. Terrific conflicts between the people and
the soldiery and police have occured here and the streets
are literally running with blood. The government is exer
cising the iron hand to suppress what appears to threaten a
general revolt throughout the country.

Washington, Jan. 30 ? Delegate Cale has been busying
himself in the Skagway postmastership matter and has been
successful in having the nomination of M. S- Whittier, pre
sented by the president in place of the incumbent Kindell,
held up. He laid the full particulars of his recommendation
of the case before Senators Piles and Ankeny of Washing
ton, and also before the senators from _ California. The
California senators have none too friendly feeling for the
president and they have en-'.ieled the Foraker faction, now
in open warfare with the administration. These last are
only too pleased to have the aid of the west in what ap
pears to be a popular revolt for local cause and there pro
mises to be at least a long delay if nothing more in the
cases coming out of Alaska,
