One day having nothing in particular to
do in the way OF business he stroIled down
to the wharves along the water front It
was hot day and the powerful rays Of
the sun were drawing the rosin from the
pine flooring Of the wharf and causing the
contents OF numerous barrels OF tar
awaiting shipment TO ooze from between
the slaves in a thick adhesive mass.
A party OF negro fongshoremen dressed
IN the thinuest garments and barefoot

engaging in the enticing game OF crack

the plaaks was selected. a circle some
twelve feet in diameter drawn around the

Officially Dead.

OlACLdLy DeaQ.
The name Of Second Lieut.. Paul d.
stockly, Twenty-frst Infantry. has been
ordered stricken from the army rolls, and
the officer is now officially dead.
Early in January. 1901, StockIy disaD-
peared while stationed in the Philippines
and since that time. though conjecture has
been bUGy. no trace Of the young man has
been found.
10 is probable that he has been muir
dered by the Fiip!nOs though there is no
evidence 70 that effect. His case is the
more pathetic since he was known as an
ambitious young officer. and already
stood no. Il in his rank The removal
OF his name from the rolls will permit
the advancement or other officers and the
appointment Of another second lieutenant.
His relatives. who are wealthy New
Workers. havey exhausted every means in
their endeavors TO locate him, but &c looks
as II his fate will remain another OF the
unsolyed mysteries OF the Philippines.

Pawtucket. R. l.. June 16.-The pres
ence Of 700 armed men, sent oy Cover
nor Kimbali to restore order, had little
influence except in the central parts of
this city yesterday where the soldiers
formed an invincible guard. In the at
terpoon rioting broke out anew in the
suburbs and spread to the neighboring
city OF Central Falls.
The resumption OF tho electric service,
which had been abandoned since Thurs.
day, was the signal for demonstrations
at the points where neither soldiers nor
police were stationed. and the character
Of the attacks grow worse until the trac-
ton company was forced to abandon the
car service.
The disorders extended over so great
an area that the troops available were
unable to handle the situation. Before
the usual car traffic can be resumed it
will be necessary to place the city OF
Central Falls and parts Of Cumberland,
Lincoln and North Providence under
military control.
About 5000 people gathered around
one car in Central Falls yesterday and
their attitude was 30 threatening that q
machine gun was loaded and two com.
panies of marines were ordered TO charge
the crowd. The car proceeded, but the
line was later abandoned.

no reserved statements, but says that

any prospecting being pushed there

The communication was written at the
