MOST UNIQUE CLAIMS.
Government Win Be Asked to Restore Value
Of Bonds Burned.

Washington, june 4. --A most
unique claim viii be presented at the
next congress. 1t is that Of certain
heirs of Joseph L. Lewis, who was a
millionaire Of Trenton, N. ]. Lewis
was bachelor crank. His will pro-
yided requests Of from $500 to
500, 900 to various relatives and
directed that after these bequests
should be paid the residue Of his
estate should be invested in govern
ment bonds, and as he expressed it,
"in order to reduce the public debt, /"
the bonds should be burned. His
wishes were carried out, 1896, 900 in
government bonds were purchased
and burned. This occurred Is years
ago. Now certain distant relatives
who were not benefciaries Of the will
are seeking to have the government
restore to the Lewis estate the value
OF the bonds burned, and bill pro-
yiding that this shall be done will be
INTRODUCED in the next congress.

HER CASE CRITICAL.
Ar. MeEInIsys Condition Causes much
cOneen.

Washington June 4.--Mrs. Nc
Kinley continues very weak. Her
condition is not greatly changed from
that Of yesterday, but each day that
elapses without gain in strength
lessons her power Of recuperation.
The complaint which came near end
ing her life in San Francisco is still
present. It is in q slightly less
aggravated form, but gives the ply
sicians and president much concern.
Mrs. Mckinley has shown remarkable
vitality, but her illness has so re.
duced her strength as to leave her
very feeble indeed. II is feared that
unless change for the better soon
manifests itself, her strength may
become so near exhausted as to
leave her without rallying power.
The news given out by the physi-
clans in attendance today was not
reassuring, though hope Of better
things still continues. After con-
sultation between the doctors the
following bulletin was issued:
Mrs. Mckinley passed a comfort
able night, but her condition has not
materially changed since the report
of yesterday"

SWEPT OVER A DAN.
Seven Persons Drowned Ia Inc Schuyikn
River.

Philadelphia, June 3.--A rowboat
containing a party Of eight young
people was swept over the Flat Rock
dam, in the schuylkiIl river. and
seven Of them, five girls and two
boys, were drowned. One young man
was saved.
The party, with large number Of
others, organized a picnic. They em-
barked in gaiIy decorated wagons
early in the morning, and pitched
their camp at Rose Glen, along the
Schuylkill river, on the northern
outskirts Of the city. The party split
up after dinner for row on the river.
Heavy rains during the past week
had made the muddy stream quite
high, and the current was much
swifter than usual. However, the
unfortunate party Immediately struck
out for midstream. All the girls
were huddled in the stern, one OF the
bows was rowing and the others were
sitting in the bow OF the boat. After
getting in the middle OF the river,
and finding the current too swift for
comfort, the boat was rowed in to-
ward the shore. During this time it
was being carried slowly down stream.
The boy doing the rowing decided
to go through the locks, and as he
approached the dam he was warned
by the lockkeeper not to approach
any closer. The warning was not
needed. and the young oarsman kept
on rowing until he found that the
lock was closed. He attempted to
turn the boat, which was then about
80 feet from the dam and 25 feet
from the shore, but he turned the
wrong way. A moment later and the
boat was in the swiftly moving cur
rent. Swiftly it was carried toward
the brink OF the falling waters, and
just as it reached the breast of the
dam, over which 30 inches of water
was pouring, the entire eight stood
up and the boat went over stern first.
The drop to the rocks below is ap-
proximately IL feet. The boat
struck the water bottom up, and as
it disappeared the whole party was
under it. Nothing more was seen
by the few persons who saw the acci-
dent for almost minute, when the
boat reappeared with one boy cling
ing to its keel. Then another young
man was seen to come to the sur
face and make a frantic effort to
reach shore by swimming. The six
girls never rose to the surface.

HoNoLuLU's SENSATION.
Investigation Of Charges Of Bribery in In.
Legislature.

Honolulu, May 26, via San Fran.
cisco, June 3.-The special grand
jury called to investigate the charges
of bribery in the legislature has raised
the biggest sensation Honolulu has
had since the days OF revolution and
agitation for annexation. 1t has had
as witnesses Gov. Dole, Attorney Gen.
eral Dole, Secretary of the Territory
Cooper and other high officials, and
on the refusal of some of them to
answer questions, the grand jury
has had them brought into court to
show cause why they should not
testify.
In the absence of s. B. Dole, who
is indisposed, Secretary Cooper is act
ing governor. The jury began its
investigation on a letter from the
governor to the legislature, refusing
TO extend the session because he had
information that bribery was taking
place. Governor Dole appeared be-
fore the jury and it is said told all
that he knew. The other heads of
departments were summoned to
testify, and all refused to tell what
they knew, on the ground that the
information they had received was
in the nature of privileged com.
munication," having been given to
them as government officials.
Acting Governor Cooper, Attorney
General Dole and L. A. Thurston,
president of the Gazette publishing
company, were sumomned to appear
before Judge Humphreys and show
cause why they should not tell the
grand jury what they had learned re-
garding bribery in the legislature.
Judge Humphreys sustained Dole as
it was shown that he had told the
grand jury the names Of the men
from hom he had received evidence.
Thurston had told the jury that be

give the name of the corporation on
the ground that as attorney he had
right to withhold it as given in

and that his disappearance was caused
by his arrest by the Russian authori-

st. Petersburg paper contained the
following notice. "Mr. L. J. c.,
a prominent business man, was ar
rested yesterday" Those who know
Gordon knew that it referred to him,
