In the shirt front covering the abdomen was

Northey began suffering excrucating

While on the sidewalk, In fact almost as

Northey for weapons and satisfied himself
that the mnD had neither a revolver nor knife

Heart Failure.
Constantin Huesch, a mining man well
known IN the city, was found dead in his
room at the Lick House early yesterday
morning. Death was attributed to heart
failure.
From the circumstances 1t is supposed
that Mr. Huesch was preparing for bed
when seized with the attack which resulted
fatally. He had been in poor health for
some time past although when he returned
the other day from a business trip he
seemed 10 his friends to be looking remark
ably improved.
Deceased had been quite prominent in
mining interests in the city. He was
scientific miner, and put up the first copper
smelter at CopperOpois. OF late years Mr..
Huesch was in the employ of Henry Jauin
and other capitalists as an expert and was
constantly travelling TO Mexico and other
mining parts along the coast. He has made
several remarkable deals in mines, among
these being his sale of the Fl Dorado Canyon
mine in Nevada Id the early COS.
During the past four years his fortunes
varied considerably. but il IS understood
that when death took him he had just con-
cluded deal in some property in the new
Vanderbilt district. from which he was ex-
pected TO realize large sum of money. He
had the misfortune to lose his wife eighteen
mouths ago.
No inquest will be held, as the authorities
are convinced the death took place from
natural causes. A certificate TO this effect
was issue1

MADRID, June 29-Considerable excite
ment prevails in official circles caused by
the receipt by the police of a hint from an
anonymous source that the anarchists in
tended to blow up the chamber of deputies
with dynamite in revenge for the arrests
made in connection with the explosion
that occurred few days ago at the resi-.
dence of ex-Prime Minister Canovas del
Castillo. All the rooms in the building
and the vaults beneath it were most care
fully searched by the police for hidden
bombs or internal machines, but nothing
OF dangerous nature was found.
1t is not known whether the anonymous
communication was simply intended as a
hoax or whether the writer had actual
knowledge of the existence of plot to
blow up the chamber of deputies. At any
rate close watch is kept upon the build
ing, and all strangers are carefully scruti.
nixed before they are permitted to enter.

FRENCH GUNS POINTED.
Tho SIamoss War on the Anam From
tier Has Reached q Crisis
BANGKOK IS TO Be ROMDARDED.
The Gunboat Lutin Ready to Shell tho
Besfeged City-1he siamese Are De-
tsrmfned and May Give France All
the Fight She Wants

LONDON, June pa dispatch from
Bangkok. capital of Siam, says that the
French gunboat Lutin has anchored in the
river opposite the center of Bangkok and
has made preparations to fire upon the
city. The topmasts of the gunboat have
been struck, and guns have been mounted
in the fighting tops. The French admiral
in his flagship is expected to arrive In
Siamese waters from Saigon.
Siam, the dispatch adds, though most
anxious to maintain friendship with the
French, is quietly determined to resist ag-
gression and is preparing herself for any
contingency that may arise. The defenses
of the country will prove stronger than ex-
pected. Three ships have been sunk at the
entrance OF the Menam river, on which
Bangkok is situated. about 20 miles from
the mouth. This reduces the channel to
the narrowest limits possible for use, and
the government is ready at moments
notice to complete the block to prevent the
ingress and egress of vessels.
Siam has standing army of $4,000 men
and has a population of about 100000 to
draw from in the event Of war. The army
is to some extent officered by Europeans.
The government possesses 10 fully equipped
war vessels. Forts with heavy guns are
at the mouth of the river, into which ves-
sells drawing over 10 feet of water cannot
enter.
The population of Bangkok is about 5o0.-
900, about half of whom are Chinese.
There are few houses in the city built OF
brick and stone. but the greater part OF
the buildings are of wood. Catholic, Bap-
tist and Presbyterian missions and schools
are located in the capital, and two news
papers, one in English and the other In
Siamese are published.
The troubles between France and Siam,
which are of long standing, appear from
the dispatch to have reached a most acute
phase. The troubles had their origin in a
boundary dispute. and considerable fight
ing between the French and Siamese had
been done along the Anam frontier.
