Burned at ROckaway Beach j
Two Lives Lost.

New York, June MAX hasten, 80
years old, and Mrs. Lydia Mckrow,
the same age, lost their lives yester-
day in a fire which swept away many
buildings at Rockaway Beach. Thom-
as S. McKrow and his five-year-old
son Frank, Martin Hanson, 80, and
Morris Kaston, rs, were injured and
taken to a hospital in Long Island

NEW BOXER RESURRECTION.
The work of Slaughter of Mission
aries and Native Christians
Again Under Way.

Victoria, p. c., June 2.-Advices
were received by the steamer Claver-
ing that the different missions at
Pekin have been informed that at
southwest Chi Ii a new Boxer IN
surrection has broken out, led by
George Chi Hing. who killed his wife
and family, and others emulated the
example before the campaign COM
menced.
The Boxers first murdered a French
missionary and later killed a Belgian
priest, and so Chinese officials en-
gagged in collecting taxes were killed.
A church was destroyed at Wei Helm,
where a native missionary was killed
and a large number of converts
slaughtered. Troops were sent
against the Boxers who defeated
them. The rebels are credited with
a programme of overrunning Honan
and Shan Tung and then making for
Pekin. They are well armed.
The Japan Mail says:
".As might have been anticipated
the recrudesence of Boxer disturb
ances at Ku Huh Hen, in Chi Ii, has
an effect on the discussion for the
restoration of the civil government
for Tien Tsin. Even those who previ-
ously advocated the policy of imme-
date restoration are now said to be
reticent. 1t is not the Tien Tsin ques-
ton alone that will be iniuriously in
huenced by these things. Other and
far important events also de-
pend on China's ability to preserve
order with wholly inefficient machin-
cry under circumstances that would
probably overtax the competency of
any power"
The French consul at Tien Tsin is
said to have proceeded to Tien Tsin
for the purpose of investigating the
circumstances of the death of q
French missionary at the hands of
the Boxer insurgents.

SUICIDE BY AGREEMENT.
letter Found in Dead Mans POcket
Points to Existence of a
Suicide Club.

Chicago, June "A letter found in
the possession of L. Wachman, a
travelling salesman, who committed
suicide in a North Clark street saloon
early yesterday, leads to the belief
that he was a member of a New York
suicide club. From passages in the
letter it is thought another member
of the club committed suicide in New
York last week.
Wachman fell dead while being
served with a glass of beer. Physi-
clans who examined the body de-
clared it vas a case of poisoning. \
bottle of poison bearing the name of
a drug store in a small town in Cali
fornia was found in Wachman's
pocket.
The letterwhich leads to the theory
that the suicide was a ~premeditated
affair was from T. Wulff, of New
York, dated May 25. The missive was
written in German, and was poorly
spelled. From such parts of it, how
ever, as could be understood, it was
gathered that Wul1f ana "achma
were members of an organization the
members of which pledged them
selves to end their lives. One of the
passages read:
"Will commit suicide at once, and
I am sorry that W. can not be to-
gether and end it. l had thought
that we could do this best together"
Wulff also says that he has left a
note under the door of NO. 202 -
- street" The name of the
street is not given, but it is believed
by the police authorities that the
place mentioned may be the head
quarters of the suicide club. The
New York authorities have been
asked to investigate the matter.
