THE ATTEMPTED GOLD THEFT.
4 Gang Suspected of the Kaiser Will
helm Der Crosse Affair.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2f.-Local de-
tectiVes believe the recent attempted rob-
berry of bullion on the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. on
her late trip between New York and Cher
hourg. was committed by Casey, Kelly,
BRADY. and Lewis, the same men who
robbed the steamer Alameda at Sydney.
All of the men were recently seen in Lon
don. What makes the case more sensa-
tional is that Kelly was supposed to be
serving five-year sentence in state pris-
on in Mexico. for bank robbery. but by
bribery he managed to hire a poor man as
substitute to take his place after
fortnight of prison life.
Mr. Lees, ex-chief of police. who worked
up several robberies on steamers of the
Australian Line. is confident that only the
Casey-Kelly gang could have committed
the Kaiser Wilhelm robbery. as it bears
all the ear-marks of their methods on this
coast.
The robbery of treasure from the Ala
reda was planned in the same way and
the criminals got away safely with their
loot.
After this crime Casey and Kelly enter
ed into an arrangement here with Den

fabulously rich mines, in which he had

carry out their compact, but returned
from Honolulu with an ingenious story
to get their reward, only to find that the
promoter had been exposed here and was
under arrest.
They skipped TO the City Of Mexico.

Bank of $1,000. Kelly was caught and
sent TO prison for fire years, but he made

PARIS, April q The Beaux Arts Ex-
position opened yesterday I'm the Grand

the exposition OF 1900 The weather was
glorious. and there was large attend
ance. The prevailing colors of the ladies'
dresses were pinks and reds
The building was hot and unventilated

artists apparently realizing that buyers
no longer live in mansions. but in flats.

THE PRODUCTION OF COAL.
U-sfed States Leads and Is the Third
Great Exporter.

The announcement Of a prospective ex-
port tax of one shilling per ton on English
coal adds interest to the fact that Ameri-
can coal is making rapid Roadway in in
vading the markets of the world The fig
ures of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics
indicate that the coal exports of the fiscal
year which ends June 30 will amount to
about s009.000 tons. as against less than
2.SzS000 tons in 1890, 3.s72 1872 tons in 1895,
and 1.1SS.6iS tons in 1900 This export fig
ure is as vet small, compared with that of
the United Kingdom, or compared with
our coal area. which is greater than that
of any other of the coal exporting nations,
but the growth in our own case has been
much more rapid than that of any other
country.
Germany is the second great coal export
ing country of the world. and her exports
only increased from 9.1i5G19 metric tons in
1890 20 15.276.e09 tons in 1900 The United
States now ranks third in the matter of
coal expectations, while Belgium ranks
fourth.
In production the United States has.
within the last two years. taken first rank,
her total coal production in 1899 the latest
available year being 226, 1854 tons,
against 320,09i,.S1 tons by the United
kingdom.

Governor Yates of Illinois.


(From the Chicago News
Now that the people OF Illinois have been given
an opportunity to take the measure of Governor
Yates by the Light Of his official acts they have
reason, to believe that lie is very cheap speci-
men os the shifty, sliveliRg variety OF public
officer. Having started out by bestOwing the
latest office within his gift upon his brother,
he follows up that act OF nepotism with
daous appointment Of man VIGOROUSLY unfit
for any public trust chief grain inspector at
Chicago. He has made this latter appointment
in the face Of protests and OF proof of unit
absolutely convincing. Therefore the Gov
ernor cannot plead ignorance, though on most
questions of public policy probably it will be
found that he is ignorant enough to satisfy the
most eXaCting taste. lie is, therefore, either
possessed OF a species of low cunning which he
mistakes for political cleverness or else he Is
owned body and boots by the Lorimer gang.
In either he will have to develop a little
manhood and decency soon or he will make a
finish in public life the instant that the people
OF Illinois succeed in cutting him loose from

Col. Charles Bird, of the Qrartermaster

Francisco. announcing the arrival Of the
army transport Garonne. The Garonne
vas sixteen days overdue. having left
Manila fourteen days before the transport
LawtOn, which arrived on Friday MORN
ing. three days ahead of the Garonne.
The Garonne carried 900 men of the
Twenty-sXth Infantry, who have served
their time in the Philippines, and who
will be mustered out at San Francisco.
While it was known that the transport
was a very slow vessel. the length of time
overdue was causing some apprehension
among War Department officials
QuartermaSter General Ludington stated
last night that the Garonne was delayed
by having to touch at Honolulu to get
supply of coal. There were no mishaps
en- route. and while the trip was a very
slow enc. the pace was steady and the en-
gineS were not pressed.
