MISSING JEWELS.

CHICAGO, April 90. The American Ex-
press company and government officials
seen by an Associated Press X porter, agree
upon the following as facts in the matter
of the lost pack age of jewels imported
from London and shipped II bond to the
Elgin Watch company. The case. was dc
livered here as received at New York by
Express company and taken by government
and expires employees - In wagons
direct to a bonded warehouse where
there were three separate invoices
on package and in order to- get
at them the examiner. had ito open it, il
was of old boards which had been used be-
fore and had nail holes in them. The box
was not strong, but it was bound with
wooden hoops. In it were two wooden
