PITTSBURti, PA, July 2S.-The mystery
Of the tunnel from the cellar of IS Ster-
ling Street into the yard of the Western
pententiury may never be solved, al
though searching investigation is being
made.
To-day the entire length of the tunnel
was explored. 1t was found to extend
from the stcrling-street house under the
street to the prison wall, and distance of
261 feet along the wall line. The d!rec-
ton taken from that point was upward
and to within five inches of the surface,
close TO large stone pile.
All is conjecture as to who was to bene-
fit by the tunnel but Warden Wright is
decidedly of the opinion that it was joint
conspiracy OF the friends of Anarchist
Berkman and Of j. c. Boyd.

PARIS, Jl.ly 2S.-Yu kens, the Chinese
Minister here. says he is convinced that

although some Of the buildings may have
been destroyed. This conviction is not
rhared by the official and political world
here.
Minister yu Keng thinks the silence OF
the ministers in Pekin not so omlnous as
1t is considered abroad. He himself is
still in ignorance OF the actunl situa ton in
Pekin, but concludes that Emperor kwang
4isu and the Empress Dowager have the
upper hand ana that Prince Tuan has
been definitely mastered.

foreigners" he said, Yang Lu and Prince

presumption OF the ministers may prove

not solve the situation. and that the MIN

FOTR DAYS MORE



WILMINGTON. y. L. July 2S-There
nre just -ur days No until the consti-
tutional franchise and general State cleo
tons. and the general interest anf anxiety
intens.fies with each passing day. Thus
far. with all the Red-Shirt demonstrations
and apparently impending clashes between
factions and races, no serious trouble has
yet developed anywhere, and prominent
politicians in discussing the situation to-
night express the opinion that there will
be nona unless some move is made by the
anti-amendment leaders, Senator Butler
and others on the eve or morning of the
election to block the election by injunction
or otherwise. This is the chief cnuse Of
apprehension.
If the election is not blocked and pro-
ceeds regularly the majority for the rat
ticatjon of the franchise amendment IS
estimated by leaders here at anywhere
from forty to fifty thousand.
RLOODSHED.
On the other hand, if there is inter-
ference by Butler and his followers. either
by injunction or otherwise it is certain
that there will be bloodshed in many
pnrts of the State, especially in the east,
as the white supremacy supporters would
brook no interference. not even that of
injunctions from the United States courts.
This is the move that the Democratic
campaign leaders are apprehensive will
be sprung on them at the last minute.
It is to be ready for any such move
ment that the Legislature is to convene
tomorrow, and will then nccording 20
the present programme. adjourn from
day to day until the election is held, Au-

New Hanover county is sure to give
not less than three thousand majority for
the amendment. In fact, every county in
East Carolina. except possibly Brunswick,
is conceded to have good maiorities of
registered voters for the amendment. The
