Mysterious Suicide in a suburb of
Chicago.

Chicago. Aug. 30.-Beautiful and ac-
complished and to all appearances the
happiest young woman in Kenwood,
Miss Pearl NJ. Ball was brought home
in dying condition shortly after mid
night Tuesday night. Deputy Coroner
Buckley and jury of six men viewed
the body yesterday in the parlor of the
home, 2 Forty-seventh place, and re-
turned a verdict that the young woman
came to her death by an overdose of
morphine, taken with suicidal intent.
There was and is still an element Of
mystery in the case. Great efforts were
made by the family and police to hush
up the matter. and even the coroner's
Office was unusually interested. mas
much as the inquest was held only
few hours after the young woman's
death, whereas in most cases much
longer time elapses. The cause of the
suicide is a mystery. The family de-
clares that she had no love affairs.

STRIKERS WEAKEN.
Steel OHiciaIs Assert That Former
EmpIoycs Arc Asking For WORK.

Pittsburg, Aug. 31.--Officials of the
mills of the United States Steel corpor-
alton that were closed by the strike or
the Amalgamated association stated
yesterday that they are receiving
many applications from former en-
ployes for work. The announcement
that the company would start their
mills non-union has. the officials be-
lieve, caused weakening in the ranks
of the strikers and many are seeking
cover. The Amalgamated officials,
however. claim that their ranks are
unbroken and strong as ever. One of
the steel officials said yesterday that
there was a general mistake being
made regarding the time it would take
to train inexperienced men and make
them capable Of operating mil! ma
chimes. This has been believed to be
the case SO long that few have taken
the trouble to prove 1t otherwise. 1t IS
now determined. he said. to have new
men placed in positions that will give
them a chance to learn the skilled
work, with which they are in a meas
ure familiar through long association
with the workings of the mills. 1t Is
Confidently Asserted
that before many months pass 1t Will
be possible to produce many new men
and plenty to man all the plants that
are now idle and which union men
have refused to take hold of. The
strikers say it will take years to ac-
complish this. Reports from all the
mills of the corporation show that
steady gains are being made in the
force of non-union men. The strikers
claim to have induced six non-union
men to desert the Star mills and TO
have shipped them back to Chicago.
whence they came. On the other hand,
Supt. Piper of the Star plant an
nounced that he is nearly ready to
start up the other mills in the plant,
and the men, now waiting for the i'm
provements to be completed, are In
the mill. In The Painter mills, the
work is progressing smoothly and no
desertions are reported. The only ac-
tion of significance in Lawrenceville
yesterday was the successful starting
of the Guide mill In the lower Union
mills of the Carnegie company.

in the river is the firm belief of the

to the strong current in the river at

Berlin. Aug. 31.--That Prince Chun
still remains at Basic and has not
made up his mind when he will leave
for Berlin to make amends for the
murder of Baron Won Ketteler, is due
to the fact that Germany and the
prince himself have only now awak-
ened to full consciousness of the
serious expiatory nature of his errand.
Germany, acting apart from, but In
the interests OF the offended powers,
made alterations in the ceremony of
reception, while Prince Chun, misled
by the honors he received before
reaching Europe, believed that his re-
ception by the kaiser would at least
be not humiliating and might possibly
be friendly. The situation is not acute,
but no date has been fixed for the re-
sumption of the journey of the Chinese
mission.
The report Is confirmed that the oh
stacle to Prince Chun's coming to Ber-
lin is Emperor Williams insistence
that the humble. expiatory character
of the prince and mission be empha-
sized. The members of the mission
consider that the abjectness asked for

London, Aug. 81. Germany's diff
Guilty with Prince Chun is regarded
here with ill-concealed amusement.
There has been throughout antagonism
to Germany's overbearing demeanor
In China and to her rudeness to her
allies. This was confirmed by the dep
recatory speeches made by Count Won
Waldersee since his return from Pekin.
The hope is expressed here that Prince
Chun will remain master of the situa-
ton. Nobody can compel him to pro-
coed from Basic to Potsdam. In any
case, 1t is seen that the ceremony of
prostration performed In Europe would
be devoid of serious Significance.
