TO THE MYSTERY
YoRK's MISSING CHILD MAY BE
SAFE IN BUFFALO.
Little Girl That esembIe Marion
Clark Deserted by a Man Who Gave
His Name as Robert Hale.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 2S.-One week ago
to-day a man giving the name of Robert
Hale. residence No. 1920 South Broadway,
st. Louis. lodged at the house of Airs. King.
in this city. He had with him two chill
dren, a three-year-old boy and a girl ap-
parently seventeen months old. Monday
morning Hale disappeared, taking with him
the boy. but leaving the girl behind DIR.
McGilray. of the hospital staff, believing
tEat the child resembled the Clark child,
abducted in New York, asked Captain Nc
Cluskey, of New York. for a more COM
plete description of the missing child. and,
on receiving II. found that II agreed exactly
with the child in his possession. The rair
and eyes were of the same color, and one
or two marks on the body We're identical.
After this discovery was made a Photo
graph OF the Clark child was sent for. 1t
arrived last Friday. and DIR. McGilray says
that anyone comparing the Hale cIild's face
quickly say that the photograph is The Hale
child. The similarity is so striking that
the New York police authorities were ccm-
municated with. They replied that some
one who knew the Clark child w)uld come
to Buffalo to see the infant at the county
hospital.
Superintendent Churchill, of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
says that the man Hale, accompanied by
the two children, was in his office a week
ago last Friday, two days before the alb
duction Of the Clark child. He, however,
says that the coincidence Is so remarkable
that further inquiry is prudent.

FROM BROOKLYN BRIDGE
NEW YORK ART STUDENTS START
LING LEAP INTO The RIVER.
Wanted to Show that by Exercising
Will Power q Man Can Do Any
thing He WisheseNOt Injured.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Howard Kretz. a
young man about twenty-five years of age,
who says he is an art student of the Acad-
envy of Design in this city. made a startling
and successful jump from the Brooklyn
bridge just before dusk this evening and
came out of the river uninjured. Just be-
fore 6 O'Clock Kretz boarded a trolley car
bound for Brooklyn. 1t was an open one
and offered all the advantages which he
was looking for. When the trolley reached
a point about one hundred yards from the
first arch, near the highest point of the
span, Kretz leaped from the car and, like
a fash, vaulted over the high railing. He
took no time to steady himself for a per-
pendicular drop and swung some distance
out from the structure before he assumed
an upright position. The passengers
jumped from the car and peered through the
railing, while hundreds of persons on the
promenade tried to get a glimpse of the
figure.
Kretz's body flashed through the air al
most in a perpendicular streak. He struck
the water feet first, cleaving 1t like an ar
row. He disappeared for some seconds and
then shot up into view again, only to dis
appear for the second time. The waters
had hardly closed over him when he re-
appeared and Immediately struck out
strongly for the New York shore. One of
the deck hands on the freight steamer Vul-
can. of the Norwalk line, which was coming
down the East river at the time. saw kretz
flash through the air and disappear in the
water. The deck hand gave the alarm and
the Vulcan was headed for the young man,
who was by this time swimming. A line
was thrown to KretZ and he was hauled
aboard the freighter, which Immediately put
in for her dock in the East river, on the
New York side.
When taken on the Vulcan kretz placed
his hands on his abdomen as If in pain, but
when the boat reached her dock kretz
sprang from the boa. onto the wharf. He
was at once taken into custody and hurried
to the H~udson-street Hospital. Not the
slightest injury was found on HIS person.,
but he was suffering from shock. He was
detained on the charge of attempting
suicide.
Kretz is about five feet eight inches tall
and weighs about 140 pounds. He lives in
this city. He said that he had been reading
a book on theosophy and that he wanted TO
demonstrate that a man, by exercising his
will power, could do anything he wished
without injury TO himself.

ocean. Two railway routes are, according
to recent reports. projected across Persia by
the Russian government which, IT Is said.
a concession Of certain ports on the Persian
gulf and privileges OF railway construction
from the borders of Russia through eastern
Persia to those ports. One of these proposed
lines, according 10 the published reports,
connects Russia,s trans-Caspian system
with the port of Bander Abbas on the Per-
sian gulf, while the other, upon which IL is
said the surveyors are now at work, runs
through western Persia, also connecting the
of the Persian gulf. If these reports be true
IL would appear that Russia is about TO
realize her long-cherished ambition Of a di-
rect outlet TO the Indian ocean connecting
there with a water transportation system
TO the Orient.
These three great systems, If constructed
and put into actual operation, would carry
Russian products Of all classes to the mar
kets of the Orient by three distinct routes:
One across Siberia by an all-rail system
ment; second. a rail and water system
through Persia and the Indian ocean, also
controlled by the Russian government: and,
on the western border by way of the cara
van routes which stretch through a country
whose possibilities of railway construction
which confronted the Russians when they
entered at the beginning of the present
decade upon the now almost completed task
of the trans-Siberian system.
1t is thus apparent that the developments
in Russia, both as relate TO manufacturing
Industries and the extension of railways
and opening of new areas of production, are
important to the people of the United States
from a double standpoint. When ii is con-
sidered that the cultivatible area of Siberia
Is now, by very conservative estimates, put
at a total equal to the area of Missouri,
Kansas. Nebraska, Iowa, North and South
Dakota, 1T will be seen that Its Importance
as a future grain producer is not inconsid-
cradle. while on the other hand it's future
Importance as a consumer of manufactured
articles of the class now being exported
from the United States Is also worthy of
consideration.

TRADE IN IT'LL KOREA.
Report from Consul Allen-Americans
Building Railways.

WASHINGTON. May 2S.-The State De-
partment is in receipt of an interesting re-
tort from Consul Allen, at Seoul, detailing
the trade conditions In Korea and showing
some curious facts in connection with the
and of the morning calm. Imports and ex-
ports for 1898 have fallen off almost one
thi:d as compared with 1897, owing to the
scanty rice crop, which forced the natives
to retain for food much grain that otherwise
would have gone abroad in trade. Man
chester sheetings are largely being replaced
by Japanese cottons. this being a remark
able instance of hand labor underselling
machine-made goods.
Serious trade stagnation is following the
first rush of credit buying that came with
the opening of the country. Chinese and
Japanese merchants were very lax in their
extension Of credits to irresponsible Korean
merchants, and the Koreans having little
trade instincts were childishly ready to run
into debt, trusting to luck to pay their way
the debts due them, and this has had a
very depressing effect upon the Chemulpo
trade.
The feeble commercial instinct of the Ko-
rean leads Consul Allen to the belief that
the trade Of the country Is likely to pass
sooner or later into the hands of the Chi
nese. 1t is very difficult for foreigners to
secure concessions for any purpose. the
Korean being timid and suspicious. 1t was
announced that on May ] of this year four
new ports would be opened to foreign trade
and residence. They are Kunsan. on the
west coast; Masampo. IN the south end
Of the peninsula, and an obscure place called
Sung-Chin, on the east coast. Peng-Yang
is TO be opened as a trade mart. The regu-
lations governing these places will be the
same as are now In effect at Mopkpo and
C~hemanpo.
The first Korean railroad. a standard
gauge American line twenty-five miles long,
connecting the capital, Seoul. with its chief
pert. Chemulpo.. will be completed during
and a half in gold. Its protector, Mr..
Morse, last year sold the concession out
right TO a japanese syndicate. The road
will be almost wholly of American material.
The first overhead trolley road in the
country is nearing completion in Seoul. 1t
is a street lire six miles long, built by the
same contractor, H.. Collbran, as the steam
read lust mentioned. The material for II
is entirely American and Japanese.
American gold mines In the northern prov
ince Of Peng-Yang are promising good re-
suits. The company employs forty Amer
leans.

The Admiral Makes a Short Address
at Salt Lake City.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, May 2.-Rear
Admiral Schley arrived here from Denver
at 10 o'clock this morning. At Provo, Utah,
he was met by a reception committee, head
ed by Governor Wells and other prominent
citizens. A large and enthusiastic crowd
greeted the party at the railway station. In
the afternoon the admiral and party attend
ed the services at the Tabernacle in his
honor. After music by the Tabernacle
choir, a short sermon was preached by DR..
Talmage.
At the conclusion Of the services. Rear
Admiral Schley was escorted TO the pulpit.
and after shaking hands with the church
officials made a short speech. He said, in
part: This is the first time in my life that

proof and reason now to understand now
1t is that we have grown TO such a mighty

our flag a little more beautiful: that has

money that has been spent 10 nave iedlueu

has been that the lines which divided us

NINE PEOPLE BURNED.
Built a Fire on the Floor Of Their
House and Went to Bed.

SAVANNAH, Ca, May 2s.-Advices from
Hardeeville, s. c.. report the burning to
death of Jacob Solomons, his wife and
seven children in a fire which destroyed their
house. The house was located on the
Oestricher farm near Vaudeville. 1t had
been damaged by a storm. and Solomons
built fires on the floor to keep warm. 1t is
supposed a fire which was left smoldering
after the family had retired was famed into
a blaze and ignited the structure. The ver-
dict of the c%oroner's jury in each case was
that they came to their deaths through the
oulpable negligence of Jacob Solomons in
neglecting to build a chimney.
