INCOMPLETE BANK NOTES TAKEN.
Stolen From Engraving Bureau A
Investigation in Progress.

The secret service officials of the treasury
are trying to unravel a mysterious theft Of
two sheets of national bank notes from the
bureau of engraving and printing. The
theft occurred about three weeks ago and
was undoubtedly committed by an employe
of the bureau. 1t was discovered by one
of the counters in going over the sheets
of notes.
Each note was for the value of $40, and
there We're four notes on each sheet, max
ing the theft valued at $50. The loss will
not fall upon the government, but upon
those who accepted the notes.
When the loss was first detected a search
was made, as it was thought the two sheets
had disappeared by accident. The notes
were incomplete, and it was not believed
that they could be passed. They were not
numbered nor signed and did not contain
the great seal. Despite this belief the notes
were passed in the city and made their way
back to the treasury, where they were re-
fused on the ground that they were not
currency of the country.
thorough investigation is being made
and will be pushed to the end.
1t is stated that the stolen notes, despite
their incomplete condition, were accepted
by different banks of the city. The worst
part is that no person seems to know from
whom the notes were gotten.

BELIEVE. IN LONDON.
Reports Of F'.tteier's Death Accepted
Conclusive.

| LONDON, July 2-The morning papers
| generally accept as conclusive the reports
that Baron Won Ketteler has been killed
and express grave uncertainty as to wheth-
| er any of the members of the legations at
Pekin are safe.
The British foreign Office has received
| news from the British consul at Chefoo that
Baron Won Ketteler has been killed, but
no other information.
Official dispatches received by the con-
sular body at Shanghai confirm in the
| fullest manner the report of the butchery
of Baron Won ketteler. the German min
lister. June Is. The minister was riding on
Legation street when he was attacked by
Chinese troops and Boxers, dragged from
his horse and killed. His body was hacked
to pieces with swords. The German lega-
ton and six other buildings were burned,
and a number of servants of the legation
were killed and their bodies thrown into
the flames.
Official confirmation of this ghastly busi-
ness has created the utmost CONSERVATION
among the consuls general of the powers
who expressed fears that a war a Tout
rance will be declared against the Pekin
government. The consuls entertain IIttle
hope that any foreigners are left alive in
the capital. There were 100 foreigners con-
nected with the legations, fifty in the GUS
tom house, English and American tourists
and others to the number of 100 and nearly
500 legation guards.
Reports From Nankfn.
A dispatch to the Express from Nankin,
June 80 says: French priests here have re-
ceived reports from Pekin that the public
execution of foreigners has been in pro-
gress since June % The news comes by
runners from French priests at Pekin, who
state that they administered the last rites
ia the condemned men,"
Nankin cables, dated Sunday, say that
Viceroy Liu Yum Yih received a telegram
from Gen. Yulu Saturday. stating that
the German minister had been murdered
at Pekin.
Second Advance on Pekin.
Nothing has been heard from the column
which relieved Admiral Seymour five days
ago and then proceeded toward Pekin: but
as it takes at least two days to communi-
cate between Tien Tsin and Chefoo, there
is nothing extraordinary in this. Troops
are going forward from Taku to Tfen Tsin
daily, though some reports from Taku al
lege that it will be three weeks before a
large force can be sen. TO Pekin.
Iiu Iuh Yih has received this from the
viceroy at Yuanshikai: Foreign troops VIC
torious at Tien Tsin. They will enter Pekin
immediately.

Prfvy Councillor Hamaan Informed the
correspondent of the Associated Press to-
day that the official dispatch announcing

Sir Robert Hart, the inspector general OF
customs. 1t was addressed to the COM
mander Of the European forces at Tien
Tsin, and was forwarded June - by Con-
sui Zimmerman to the German consul at
Chefoo. The message contained a number
of interesting details. Baron Ketteler
while riding on horseback to the Tsung Ii
1amen foreign office. was attacked by
large numbers of Chinese. who pulled him
OFF his horse and beat him to death An
interpreter who was with him was serious-
ly injured. but escaped and subsequently
reached the German legation.
More Murders Suspected
Herr Hamann supposes that there was
more bloodshed at the legation, the de-
struction of which. he declares. was more
alarming because the message adds that
lle conultlonS OF whites IN Pekln was deS-
perate and aid imperatively needed
1t was also announced that the ammunition
of the legation guards was almost ex-
hausted.

that he will never be able to marry
either one Of them. One of the young
women in question is the Princess
Victoria Of Wales, with whom, even IL
no family objections were raised, his
marriage Is forbidden by the laws of
the Greek church, as she Is an own
cousin of the young prince. The other
young woman is the beautiful French
actress and dancer, German Gallois,
who is now performing at the Varie-
ties In Paris. That Prince George is
not alone in thinking that German
Gallois is beautiful is shown by the
fact that she was this year awarded
the modern apple of Paris as the most
beautiful woman of France. She is
said to have a perfect figure, with a
creamy complexion. big gray eyes
and shining red brown hair. Prince
George comes often to Paris, and never
