Van Loon Resplted for Four Weeks.

COLUMBUS, O., July IA new lease of
life has been granted Frank Van Loon,
the young murderer and bank robber,
sentenced to hang between the hours
of 12 and 1 o'clock Thursday night.
Gov. Mckinley, at $3.50 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon, gave the condemned
man a respite for four weeks, which
postpones the execution until August
4. The action of the governor is
prompted by no belief in the assertions
of innocence on the part of the prisoner
and his friends. Clemency is extended
simply upon the statements of Van
Looms attorney, detective and relatives
that they have obtained clew to new
evidence of an important nature which
will require additional time for proper
presentation,

Act of Robbing the Mails.
CHICAGO, July 5.-Post Office Inspec-
tor James e. Stuart, of Chicago, re-
turned Monday from Port Huron with
a great feather in his cap. So impor-
tant was the case that the thanks of
the Canadian government have been
extended to the inspector for his hard
work. He did in seven days, dressed as
a tramp, what the entire force of post
office inspectors of Canada, the police
authorities of the Grand Trunk and
thirty United States post Office inspec-
tors failed to do in two years.
For two years the loss of mail upon
the Grand Trunk, including the Amer
lean pouches consigned to Canada and
the mail from Montreal and Toronto,
consigned to all the western states, has
been source of great annoyance to
Canada and the United States.
At last the matter became unbear-
able to the Canadian government, and
Postmaster General Bissell was asked
to assign Maj. j. E. Stuart to the case,
with all power to act. After working
on the case some days Stuart became
convinced that the thefts were being
done ON the mail car in daylight FL
nally he saw Charles Ford, superin.
tendent of repairs for the Grand Trunk
at Pt. Huron, eX-member OF the Ft.
Gratiot council and ex-president of the
town council and for years one of the
most trusted employees OF the Grand
Trunk, enter the car, remove the val
liable letters from the pouches and
deftly reseal the pouches. The rail
way official then withdrew, locked the
car and walked toward his private
Office. He had proceeded but 200 yards
when Stuart placed him under arrest
A crowd gathered and protested, but
Stuart Hok his prisoner to quiet
place and discovered on Ford's person
34s letters. The official was pressed tc
make a statement but all he would
say was: "You have me dead to rights

NAVAL PROGRESS.
Work Contemplated at
Mare Island.
The Monterey May Be Sent to Homo

Yard.
Correspondence of THE MORNING CALL.

VALLEJO, June 11-As has already been
stated. il is the intention to greatly i'm
prove tile plant at the navy-yard, and to
further this end it has been recommended
that additions TO the steam engineering
and construction plants be made, aggre-
eating in cost about 81, 000, 600. and another
100000 worth of improvements of varl-
Ous kinds will make the Mare Island yard
equal for all the work that may come to Ii
in the shape of building or repairs of ships
belonging TO the Pacific or China squad
rOns.
1t is expected that the Philadelphia,
which is to be the flag ship of Admiral
Skerrett on the Pacific when she comes
through the Straits of Magellan, will pro-
coed directly TO Hon lulu and relieve the
United States steamship Boston, now the
flag ship, so that she may return to Mare
Island to be locked. cleaned, painted and
put in order after her long service at the
islands. Should. however, there be any
signs Of trouble at the Samoan Islands il
is not at all unlikely that either the Bos-
ton or Adams may be dispatched in that
direction.
The Thetis, lying alongside the quay
WALL has just been given q fresh coat of
black, with her yards of yellow, or border
ing on that color. She looks well.
Ordnance officer Charles f. Clark, U. S.
N, has during the past few days, in COM
pany with Lieutenant Blocklinger of the
Thetis and number of men, been at Santa
Cruz giving test of new kind of powder.
The friends Of Admiral BeIknap were
pleased to learn that his son, Reginald
Rowan Belknap, will be the first to be
commissioned a. an ensign in the navy, he
having been cadet in the class of 1891.
The examination, having Just been COM
pleted. the merii-roll places him at the head
of the list.
1t has been announced. but there is
little faith to be placed in the statement,
thar the Monterey will be sent up to Port
land. 1t would not be at all surprising if
before long she steamed down to the
islands in the Pacific.
Chaplain A. A. McAlister will probably
be detached from the Teceivng-ship INDIE
pendence and ordered TO the yard, and his
place filed by Chaplain Frank Thompson,
who will receive hearty welcome on his
return to the station.
Surgeon ID. o. Lewis, now at the Naval
Hospital, Is expected to be transferred to

There was some unusually good sport in

attended to play at Moloy's benefit.
The benches at Ryan's were filed and

novice al that game. He won with the
easy score, 21-16, 21-14, 21-12, without
allowing his opponents single bout.
John Jones. the champion of Australia,
who has for some time past been associ-
ated with Phil Ryan in conducting the

been arranged, and Chicago will probably
