HER CASE CRITICAL.
Mrs MeKinlty's Condition Causes Much
Concern.

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 a gain in strength
lessons her power Of recuperation.
The complaint which came near end
ing her life in San Francisco is still
present. 1t Is in a 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 a 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
changed since the report
of yesterday"

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

Washington, June 4. - A most
unique claim will be presented at the
next congress. 1t is that of certain
heirs of Joseph L. Lewis, who was
millionaire of Trenton, N. ]. Lewis
was bachelor crank. His will pro-
vided bequests of from $75, 200 to
100000 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 % 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 a bill pro-
viding that this shall be done will be
introduced in the next congress.

TRADE RELATIONS RESTORED.
Our Exports to Spain This Year Promise to
Break all Records.

New York, June 5.-A special from
Washington says;
Commercial relations between
Spain and the United States seem to
be fully restored and it is not improb-
able that American exports to that
country in the fiscal year 1901 will
be greater with possibly single ex-
ception, than in any preceding year.
Exports from the United States to
Spain in the nine months ending
with March, 1901, were valued at
Sll, S79, 349 against $7,09l ,043 in
the corresponding period in the fiscal
year 1899. The figures for the year
up to this time indicate that the total
exports from the United States to
Spain in the fiscal year 1901 will be
about $l6, 900, 600
On the import side the figures Of
the present fiscal year are largely in
excess of those of 1899 though slight
ly less than those of 1900 which were
the largest since 1891. The annual
imports from Spain into the United
States since 1891 have ranged from
So, 500, 600 to $6,000,000, averaging
about 81, 500, 600, while for the pres
ent fiscal year they seem likely to ex-
ceed So, 600, 900.

Burglars Burned a Town,

Beaumont, Tex, June 5.-The
town OF Jaspar has been entirely
wiped out by fire. Seventeen houses,
including every business house in the
place, and a number of residences,
were destroyed. The town has no fire
department. Previous to the fire the
postoffice safe and the safe of the
county treasurer had been blown open
and"robbed. The conclusion is that
burglars blew open these safes and
then set fire to the town to create ex-
citement that would afford them an
opportunity to escape.

Fire Ragged Ten Days.

Oaxaca, Mexico, June "details
of the great fire which ragged on the
isthmus of Tehauntepec for several
days have been received here. Over
70 people were unable to escape the
rapid progress of the flames and were
burned to death. The fire started
on coffee plantation, and owing to
the dryness of the vegation it was
soon beyond control and wrought
great destruction to growing crops
Many thousands of acres of coffe
trees, bananas, orange trees and othe.
tropical products were destroyed
The fire burned for 10 days and was
finally quenched by heavy tropical
rain,

Killed hv Mistake.

Denver, June 81. C. Ayers, a
workman on ranch near Fort Logan,
was shot and killed this morning by
one Of the provost guard of the mill
tary post, which was in pursuit of a
prisoner who had escaped from the
guardhouse. The guard says the kill
ing was accidental, as he intended to

mistook for the escaped prisoner, and
who did not obey an order to get out
of ditch in which he was thought to
be hiding. An inquest will be held.
The soldier who did the shooting bears
a good reputation at the post.

HOUSEKEEPING.

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 we're 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 he
had heard that legislators had ap
preached a corporation with solicits.
tions of bribes, but he declines to
give the name of the corporation on
the ground that as attorney he had
a right to withhold it as given in
confidence by client to an attorney.

BUTTE AGAIN SLIDING.
The Strange Phenomenon Causes Alarm
Amouns the Citizens.

Butte, Mont, June 5.-The strange
sliding movement of the city of
Butte which has been noticeable at
intervals for several years has again
manifested itself by five large cracks
in the earth in different sections of
the city. The largest crevice was Il
inches wide and of considerable
length and depth. Three of the.open-
ings occur on the west side of town
and two on the east side. There is no
caving, but distinct parting of the
earth, and the granite walls can easily
be seen in them. The gas and water
companies have much trouble on ac-
count Of the strange movement which
frequently breaks their underground
pipes. The city engineer says the
engineering department of the city
encounters the same trouble as eleva-
tions and bench marks in certain
parts of the city are constantly chang
ing. The continuance of the strange
phenomenon is beginning to cause
some alarm among the citizens of
Butte.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Richard CoIden's "Oid led Prouty.''

Men may come and men may so,
but Richard Golden's "Old JED
Prouty." seems destined to go on for
ever, rejecting sunshine and happi-
ness throughout their wanderings
The reason for the success isnot hard to
find The play possesses an unusual
amount of hearts interest. and APP
peals largely to the better nature of its
audience. The rugged honesty of the
shrewd. yet generous old New England
tavern Keeper. and the thought that
here we have one of Gods noblemen,
leaves an impression not soon forgot
ten. and the auditor comes along with
a suggestion of older, maybe happier
days. of honesty and rugged strength,
of home and tender hearts. of manly
heartiness and womanly worth. and
n something that appeals to the restful
serses. AS to Dear Old Dick. he is
as well known as his famous play.
The company comprises twenty peo-
pie. Every effort has been made to
make it perfect. artistically and in its
appointments. There seems to be but
little doubt that this theatre will be
we'll patronized during "Old Jed
Prouty's' engagement, which will be
given at the Opera House on Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings, August
IA and Is. This will be the last oppor-
tunity to see Our Dick in this play
made famous the world over by him.
He will have a new play next year.
and has promised to bring it here. so
Maine people may pass first judgment
on it,
