FELL FROM A WINDOW.
AdeIbert S. Hay AccidentIy Killed at New
Haven-Son of Secretary of State.

New Haven, Conn.,, June 25.--
Adelbert S. Hay, son of Secretary
Hay, and ex-consul to Pretoria, was
found dead on the sidewalk outside
the New Haven house early yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Hay retired to his room at l
o'clock, after spending the evening
with friends in apparently excellent
spirits. About 2:30 o'clock in the
morning few people standing out
side the hotel were startled at seeing
a large white object come whirling
through the air and strike the side
walk. The night clerk of the hotel
was Immediately summoned and rec
ognized the body as that of young
man who registered as Adelbert S.
Hay.
There was considerable excitement
about)the hotel, and large body OF
students and graduates, who are here
for the commencement exercises, soon
gathered. A number of his former
classmates at Yale positively identi-
fed the young man.
DR.. Bartlett, the medical exam
iner, stated that Mr.. Hay came to his
death by an accident. The clothes
on the bed had been turned, showing
his intention to go to bed. His
clothes had been folded. On the
ledge OF the window was found part
ly burned cigarette. This discovery
leads to the belief that Hay had light
ed cigarette before retiring and had
went to the window to smoke it..
Whether he was seized with fit of
dizziness or fell asleep on the window
ledge cannot be determined. There
are no external injuries.
Mr.. Hay graduated from Yale in
1898 and had come here to attend his
class triennial reunion. He was out
driving in the evening with party
of classmates and friends, and on re-
turning to his room left word to be
called at 9 O'Clock next morning.
This was the last seen of him alive.

NAWeATED HELL GATE.
Big BattIs.Ship Massachusetts Successfully
Passed the Narrows.

FdSSeu INC NdrTOWS.
New York, June 22.-Without the
assistance of pilot and to demon
strate that first class battle ship
could be navigated through He'll Gate
successfully, Captain Henry M. Man
ney took the big battle ship Massa-
chusetts through the narrows today.
It was the first time in the history of
the navy that any commander of a
war vessel of this class ever dared
attempt the feat, and river craft and
the shores were filled today to witness
the trip of the Massachusetts,. The
passing of the mammoth fighting
machine through the dangerous
waters Of He'll Gate successfully
proves that in case of hostilities with
a foreign power, a battle ship of the
same draft as the Massachusetts, if
she passed the Notifications of Will
let's Point and Fort Schuyler, could
repeat the performance of the Massa-
chusetts. Secretary Long has taken
official noticeof Captain Manney's IS
feat, and issued orders that no naval
vessel the size of the Massachusetts,
shall use the He'll Gate narrows ex-
cept in cases of great emergency.

Three Men Were Killed and Five Others
Injured.

Kalama, Wash, June 24.-Three
men were killed and five others in
jured by the premature explosion of
a blast on the Oregon & Washington
Railroad. The scene of the accident
was in deep cut about half a mile
south of this place.
The cause Of the explosion will per-
haps never be known, as the men who
were working at the drill hole were
instantly killed. About 25 men were
working in the cut, and from the sur
vivors it was learned that two men
were loading a II foot drill hole with
No. 2 giant powder, and had put in
about 100 sticks. It is supposed
that they had just been tamping the
powder with an iron bar, as they had
sometimes done before, when the ex-
plosion occurred.

the mining machinery is already
American and refers to a rumor te
the effect that there is an American
movement to capture all the poorer
Rand mines.

Invasion Of Cape Colony.

London, June 25.-Lord Kitchener
has sent no report of the Waterkloopf
mishap. Recent events in Cape
Colony seem to prove the Boer inva-
sion of that country to be serious.

Cape Town. June 5, confirms the
pro-Boer report and says the invaders
number anything from 1900 to 10, :
600; that they are swarming all over
the eastern and midland districts and

DESTROYING CHINESE FORTS.
yaluabIes Smussled Out of the Forbidden
City Sold to Foreigners.

Pekin, June 26.-There has been
no meeting of the ministers of the
foreign powers at Pekin since the first
of last week, but the ministers them
selves profess satisfaction at the
course of events. The Chinese forts
have not yet been destroyed. 1t has
been determined that each nation
shall destroy those forts now occupied
by its troops, but the ministers find
that the respective military command
ers object to destroying Chinese forts
not occupied by their troops. Conse-
quently the ministers will probably
have to employ Chinese labor to effect
the destruction of the unoccupied forts
at the expense of the different nations.
Many Chinese enuchs have been
selling valuables which have come
from the Forbidden City. TIE valu-
ables thus sold were probably passed
over the walls of the city to the
enuchs confederates outside. One
beautifully carved table, which was
seen in the Forbidden City only two
weeks ago, has been sold by a enuch
for 600 taels. No valuables of any
kind have been taken out of the city
through the gates. These are guard
ed by American and japanese troops.
It is estimated that the cost of repair
ing the palace, independent of the
valuable works of art which are miss
ing, will reach $50, 900 tales.
Members of the staff of Ii Hung
Chang and Prince Ching say that
great anxiety is felt regarding the
whereabouts and safety of a large
quantity of gold that was buried ir
the Forbidden City. Certain enuchs
who knew the secret of the location
of isgold have disappeared.
