SAN DIEGO, June 12—Not a thing has been discovered by the police that would | throw light on the supposed suicide of the, girl who in a note dropped on the strfet last night declared her intention of doing away with herself. The following is a part of the note: I am about to commit suicide, and if you hear of anybody being found on any beach, this will identity me. 1 am a girl 21 ysare of age, bionde bair, brown eves, black and white shiri waist, black skirt, diamond and plain rings.

ROCHESTER, Ind., June 12.—Last nlght“ at midnight an express car attached m_’ the eastbound train on the Erie Railway | was entered by robbers just outside of | | Englewood, who completely looted it. The | robbers threw undesirable express pack- | ages along the road all the way from | Hammond to Rochester. The crew of a freight train followed the express car and discovered the packages beside the track | and notified the officers at Huntington, | where the express car door was forced open. As this was done one of the rob- bers dashed out, firing two shots, and made his escape. The police then made their way into the car and found two other robbers hiding behind some packages. They were placed under arrest. In all the poekets in their | clothing they had valuable goods stored | away. Every package in the car with lhei exception of one had been pried open. | This package contained about $7000 worth | of valuables. The crew of the freight train picked up goods to the amount of F4000. —_——————— Boiler of a Locomotive Explodes. | SAN PEDRO, June 12.—The boiler of | the largest Mogul engine on this division | exploded to-night and severely injured | John Steen, a hostler, in charge of the | engines in the roundhouse at the foot of Tenth street.

Steen was badly burned about the face, breast and legs. —————e—— Japanese Papers Are Still Protesting. VICTORIA, B. C. June 12.—Japanese papers received in to-day's mails from the Orient are still filled with reports of movements of troops, and much &pace is given to protest regarding Russian troops being stationed on the Yalu under guise of protecting a timber concession in Peng Ma forest, obtalned from Korea in 1896. —_— e Sixty Bulgarians Killed. CONSTANTINOPLE, June 12—It be- came known that sixty Bulgarians were killed at the village of Yenij, Roumelia, recently in a combined attack made upon it by a detachment of troops and neigh- boring Mussulman villagers. Fifty prison. ers were taken to Adrianople. i When Mr. Spreckels generously headed the subscription list with a private con- tribution of $1000 in aid of the patridtic enterprise the members of the general committee were confident that other pub- | lic spirited citizens would.cmulate his ex- ample. } In order to carry out claborate plans for a beautiful decoration and illumina- tion of the city and to meet the expenses | incident te the street pageants, and also to provide funds for fitting entertainment of visitors from the East, the State ap- propriation of $25,000 should be augmented by contributions amounting in the aggre- 000, rection of Theodore B.

ST. LOUIS, June 12.—The river contin- ues to fall steadily, but the weather bu- reau reports that those who expect to see 2 sudden decline will be disappointed. If the river falls at the same rate as in 1 when there was a heavy flood, the levee will be covered for a month yet. The heavy pressure of water against Broadway in Kast St. Louis will probably finally destroy a large section . of that street. In some places portions Af the street have caved in and to-night a large section near Eighth street went down, but the street car tracks still hold the street from giving way entirely. Even if it does break' the result will be simply that the water is let through to Missouri avenue, a parailel street one biock north, the sooner. The water is seeping through Broadway steadily and in large quantities and must finally completely inundate all that portion of the city south of Missouri avenue. KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 12.—City wa- ter was turned on this afternoon at the Quindairo pumping station. Th§s, with the flow from Turkey Creek station, un- lees some unforeseen accident occlirs, will furnish the city with its first clean water for nearly two weeks and removes danger from fire. A passenger train each hour of the day, between Kansas City, Kans., and the Union station on the Missouri side, will be run by thé Missouri Pacific Railway beginning to-morrow. The only communi- cation now between the two Kansas Citys is by rowboat or steamer. This train service will be made possible by the opening to-day of the Missourl Pa- cific bridge, one of the few that with- sfood the flood. The Union Pacific Rail- road to-day made rail connections with the Missouri Pacific track in the west bottoms, so its trains can run over the Missourl Pacific bridge until its own structure is revlaced. C. F. Morse, president of the Stock Yards Company, said to-day: “We will be ready to geceive stock to- morrow in limited quantifies and by Mon- day will have adequate facilities, This will break a shut-down of the stock yards. here that has lasted exactly two weeks.” ————— Andrew Carnegie's benefactions now ag- gregate $67,212,923. GETTING READY 10 CLOSE MINE, Owners of Yellow Aster Will Not Recognize Miners’ Union. BAKERSFIF,I‘D' June 12.—The recen strike of miners employed in the Yellow Aster property at Randsburg has so dis- couraged property owners that no attempt will be made to rebuild the town, which | was recently destroyed by rire, until the strike cuestion is settled. A special to the Californian from Rands burg says: In an interview to-day C. A. | Burcham said that tne <ellow Aster would not recede from its position. Four or five machinists are at work cleaning out the mill and getting ready for the permanent shutdown. The snafts will be covered in and bulkheads will be put in the tunnels. More than a dozen men have already left town. At the reaquest of President Nelson of the Miners' Union six special deputies have been sworn in to keep peace. The | union has sent notices to different points in the West warning strike breakers to Keep away. It was rimored this morning that the eight employes of the Baitie will | be called out, but the report cannot be confirmed. Many miners will go out | _prospecting and dry washing. Officers of the union declare that they can hold out indefinitelv and the Yellow Aster owners say they will not recognize the union in any way whatever. There is no disturbance here. 2 S T Baltic Mill and Mine Closes Down. JOHANNESBURG, June 12.—The Baltic mine and mill and another small mill closed down to-day. Indications are that all of the principal properties will close down within twenty-four hours.

FORMER CONSUL STILL MISSING His Failure to Return| to Mexico Provokes | Much Talk. | | i Mexican Residents Eager to| Solve Mystery Around His Case. What has become of A. K. Coney, for- mer Consul General of Mexico at this port? What is his political fate? These | questions are greatly agitating the mem- bers of the local Mexican colony, who are vet o obtain an explanation for the sud- who for eighteen years. Nearly three months have passed e suddenly left the city. Not the slightest intimation of his going away was given to his friends, who first learned of | his departure after a man named Del Paso had taken temporary charge of the consulate. A week later the announce- ment came from the City of Mexico that a new Consul General had been appointed to the local post and wouid soon start northward for the city. It was then that inquiries were inaugu rated regarding the removal of Coney | and the story was circulated that he had | been recalled. Later another statement was given out by a member of his family that Coney was to receive the appoint- ment of Consul General to New York, but | this has since been denied. Meanwhile it { had developed that Coney did not return to the City of Mexico and for a time the | local colony was at a loss for a sugges- | tion as to his whereabouts. GOES TO NEW YORK. It is now learned that the former Con- sul General did not return to ordered, but hastened off to where he has since remamed. failled to return to Mexico and what prompted his sudden leave taking are matters that have stirred up considerable gossip in the Mexican colony and caused disagreeable rumors to be circu- he Why lated. When the news was first spread that Coney had been recalled it was generally supposed that the President of the south- | him some other and more important station, for it had been known, or at least supposed, for years here that Coney and the President | were very close friends, a relationship | that had grown out of the fact that years ago, before Coney had entered the con- sular service, he had saved the life of the President. It is no secret in local consu- lar circles that several attempts had been made by Mexican residents of this city | during the bast ten years to have Coney recalled, but these appeals seemingly met with no favorable consideration from President Diaz. It was apparent that Coney was well entrenched in his position despite his unpopularity here generally conceded that his would last as long as Presic ministered the political affairs republic. Consequently, when of the news reached here that the Consul General had been recalled it created no end of sur- prise, which only abated for a time when the report went out that another and higher position awaited Coney when he returned to Mexico and met the Presi- dent. STORIES ARE CIRCULATED. Simultaneously with the reeeipt of the news that Coney was in New -York were cirtulated ugly stories regasding his al- | leged mismanagement of the consular | business here, but if there is any founda- tion for these stories the new Consul General sa has no knowledge of them. When asked yvesterday regarding Coney, Senor Eprique said that he knew nothing about his predecessor and that | when the office was turned over to him by Del Paso its affairs appeared to be all | right. | From another source it was learned that | when Senor Eurique received his formal | instructions from tbe President the latter | made no mention of Coney and seemingly | was oblivious to the fact that he was | about to replace a man who had once | saved his life. This fact is accepted by | the Mexican colony as indicative of some | he ! unpleasantness between the President and Coney and it is thought it led to his re- call. At the home of Coney on Post street, a servant informs those who call | to inquire of the whereabouts of the for. mer Mexican representative that his fam- | ily is out and she does not know in what | part of the world Coney is at the present | time. Meanwhile the stories about him continue to grow. In fact, the colony is | talking of nothing else and wildly specu- lating on the real cause for his removal ————— TWO MEN ARE KILLED | BY POWDER EXPLOSION City Is Shaken and Buildings | Tremble as Though Jarred by ! an Earthquake. | | | TAMAQUA, Pa..
