AFRAID OF WILLIAM.

rs Dreaded by EngIlsh DlpIomats.
Paris, June 18.-Kiel was the reason
for the speech delivered by NJ. Hano-
taux, French Minister Of Foreign Af-
fairs. and it was also the reason for
comforting by the Gar of the decoration
of the Order of st. Andrew upon Pres
ident Faure, two facts of capital im-
portance.
But other demonstrations of a similar
sort are expected this week at Kiel. 1t
is probable that the Russian and
French fleets will start for and depart
from Kie concurrently and will also
proceed together to Copenhagen to coal.
These two movements of the fleets will
be one demonstration. but a counter
demonstration by the German EmpereR
is probable.

A CITY TREASURER MISSING.


Bonds for a Million Dollars-Thought to
Have Taken His Life.
Omaha. Neb., June 1S.-City Treas
urer Henry Bollen, whose accounts are
under investigation by his bondsmen,
has suddenly and mysteriously disap-
peared. Until the investigation is COM
pleted nothing can be stated positively
as to the condition Of his office. He
was under a bond of a million dollars.
Since Treasurer Bollen disappeared,
notes addressed to his family have been
found among his papers. One dated
May 7th states that he prefers death to
dishonor. and asks that his life insur
ance amounting to 100000 be paid over
to, his family.
The second note says: "The day and
hour has come"
1t is not believed that Bollen will be
found alive, as his notes to his family
indicate suicide.
