Alexandria Insurance Superintendent Mysteriously Disappears From Home. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 14, 1898. ‘Thomas L. Callis of this city, assistant superintendent of the Alexandria branch of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, has disappeared from his home at 402 Prince street, under unexplained circum- stances. Last Saturday morning Callis at- tended a meeting of agents at the Metro- politan office, #06 Prince street, and shortly thereafter he took the 11:30 boat for Wash- ington. He mailed two letters before leaving, one addressed to his wife and one to Mr. Wm. Rellfield, a life insurance agent. In the let- ter to his wife he bade her good-bye and stated that his body would be found at the bottom of the Potomaé. To Mr. Belfield he stated the samejand begged that all of the company’s agents who were then board- 4ng with Mrs. Callis should continue to do so, and thus contribute’ to the support of her and her four Uttle children, one of whom is now in a dying condition. The police were notified this morning, and Officer Knight asc2xtained that Mr. Callis had boarded the 11:30 ferry boat Saturday morning for Washington, purchasing a single-trip ticket, and:that he had not been seen to leave the beat im that city. At the Metropolitan office it was stated this morn- ing that Mr. Callis hadsappeared as usual at tho agents’ meetjpg Saturday, but that he made one suspicious remark, to the ef- fect that he would #6t be with those pres- ent very long. No possible cause for sui- cide was known to these. at this office. Mr. Callis was receiving a salary of about $25 per month, and living happily with his family. His relations with the home office were very pleasant. In view of these facts, the other assistant superintendent, Mr. C. J. Penn, did not believe that suicide had been committed. An investigation of the missing man’s accounts is now being made. The missing man is described as being of medium height, with light mustache and hair. He was dressed in black clothes, sack coat and black hat, and wore low quartered russet shoes. He has been a highly respected citizen, and his strange disappearance is a matter of general sor- row. —— Charles Brooks, colored, was not satis- fied to Le quietly to the police station when Officer Vanderschaaf arrested him for dis- orderly conduct. Had he done so he would now have to serve only fiften days on the farm. He assaulted che officer, however, and for this reason he will have to spend three months in jail, according to the verdict of the Police Court this morning. | Brand new samples of a score of bargains: $20 Antique Suites... $58 Quartered Oak Suites $55 Mahogany Suites............... “$50 Oak Suites. their sterling worth. now: 3-plece Inlaid Suites, upholstered in velour, for S-piece Mahogany Vinished Suites,upholstered in silk,for $29.00 5-pe.

The State Department is making strong efforts to secure the release of the Ameri- can, Temple, who is now in a Mexican jail on the charge of murder committed in the United States, and it has instructed Mr. Powell, United States minister to Mexico, to address himself directly to the Mexican foreign office on the subject. The principle involved in the case is regarded of the highest importance, for if Temple is held for trial by the Mexican authorities it will amount to an admission on the part of our own government of the right of Mexico to exercise extra-territorial jurisdiction over American soil. Substantially the same claim was involved in the celebrated Cut- ting case, which came near causing a breach of friendly relations between the United States and Mexico, and it arose again in the more recent case of Leonardo Pacheco. Cutting was released by the Mexican government only after. trial, and Pacheco was released, but not on our de- mand, and in no case has the Mexican gov- ernment surrendered its view that it had a right to try a person in Mexico for an offense committed in the United States. Cutting was in jail for several months and Pacheco for two years. It is not at all probable that any such delay will be per- mitted in the Temple case, for the Arizona authorities might easily bring the matter to an issue by demanding the extradition of Temple for killing a man within the bor- der of their territory. But even accepting the Mexican conten- tion that it could try an American for kill- ing a Mexican in the United States, it seems probable that the State Department can demonstrate that the man Arlavilla, who was killed by Temple, was not, as his name would imply, a Mexican. The Ari- zona authorities say that he was born in that territory, and although his parents were unnaturalized Mexicans, under our law he was a United States citizen. If this fact is established legally the Mexican gov- ernment will be put in the peculiar position of trying one American citizen for killing another American citizen on American soil. + e+ CONDITIONS AT PORTO RICO. What Consul Hanna Writes State Department. Corsul Hanna at San Juan writes to the State Department as follows regarding conditions in Porto Rico: “Iam receiving hundreds of letters from all classes of p2ople in the United States, asking about Porto Rico. Most of these persons say they intend coming to Porto Rico for work or to go into business, and they want to know all about the country. To go into detail and answer all these hundreds of letters would require the serv- ices of several clerks; but I have said to nearly all these inquirers that no American se2king work should come to Porto Rico. I have also said to business men in the United States that, in my opinion, they would be disappointed if they came here now to establish thems>ives; that the time had not yet arrived for an American to go into business in Porto Rico. I believe the time will come when this will be a good field for the investment of American capital, and when nearly all kinds of busi- ness conducted in an American style will be profitable; but that time will not come until the island has American government, until the laws of the United States are enforced and tariff charges made. Then, I believe, this island will take on new I'fe; but our people who think of doing ousiness in Porto Rico should be made to under- stand that the existing high duty on Amer- ican products prohibits their shipping build- ing material, .machinry for factories or plantations, &c., or establishing any kind ef business with profit. Most of our busi- ness men who have come here simply look the island over, pronounce it rich and pos- sessing golden prospects for the future, but decide that it is too early to invest. The American press should inform cur merchants and business men of the true situation.” to the Locked Up on Suspicion. This morning about 3 o'clock Precinet De- tectives Horne and Hartigan arrested Walter Lyles, who is better known as “Legs” O'Brien, and locked him up on suspicion. According to the statements of the officers the prisoner was released from the Baltimore penitentiary, where he spent five years. They learned that he came to this city several days ago, and yesterday they started out to find him. It was not until about 3 o'clock this morning that they located him in a lodging house on 24 street. He was in bed asleep when the officers called, but they waited until he dressed. and then took him to the station and locked him up. Lyles, or O’Brien, as he is known, admit- ted that he had been here several days since he was released from prison, but de- nied that he had done anything wrong, or that he had even contemplated doing any- thing. Today the prisoner's wife called to see him. The police will hold him unti) they can make a further investigation of his movements during his stay here. > Marriage Licenses.
