LACE MILL SHUT DOWN.
Result of WOrkers' Sympathy With
 Coal Strikers.

"~b1AA ~A Sy nhP0A"J
 Coal Strikers.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 1S.-Because the general manager would not dis charge five girls whose relatives are still at work in the mines the Wilkes barre Lace Manufacturing company, the largest in the United. States, has been compelled to shut down. Between 300 and 1000 persons are affected.
 The lacemakers and cotton workers are strongly organized and have been helping the striking miners Tn every way possible. It appears the lacemak- CTS learned that relatives of the girls were working in the mines, and the girls were given the alternative of ei- her quitting the lace mills or having heir relatives leave the collieries. Fail Ing in this, the Cotton Workers union requested the discharge of the girls, but the manager refused to comply. The employees of the cotton depart ment thereupon quit. The manager then asked the weavers what they in tended to do, and after a meeting the weavers replied that they could not work with unfair" workers and also luit.
 The shutting down of the lace mill is the only important development in the Wyoming region.
 The general strike situation remains unchanged. The miners report that more men have come out, and the coal company officials, on the contrary, claim they are increasing their forces around the collieries. Some of these men are used in the firerooms and at the pumps, and others are engaged to 1o guard duty.

Hou.e Pa..e. Rankruptcy Hill.

Washington, June 1S.-The house spent yesterday considering bills re- ported from the judiciary committee. By far the most important measure was that to amend the existing bank ruptcy law. The bill passed amends the law in fifteen particulars to meet defects which, 1t is said, experience has proved. The most important amendment Is one to define preference to meet the supreme court decision in the case of Pirie versus the Chicago Title and Trust company. Four addI- honal grounds for refusing a discharge In bankruptcy are also added: First, obtaining property on credit on ma terially false schemes; second, making fraudulent transfer of property, third, having been granted or denied a discharge in bankruptcy within six years, and, fourth, having refused to obey the order of the court or refusal to answer material questions approved by the court. Throughout the session of the senate the isthmian canal ques- tion was under consideration.

Incidents Tn American History.

A traveller who has just returned from a visit to Matanzas says that he visited El Cumbre, 8 short distance from the city. and there was reminded of an incident In American history with which he was entirely unfamiliar and which he is willing to bet not one American in a hundred knows any thing about. He refers to the fact that a vice president of the United States took the oath of office there, being au- thorixed to do so by special act of con gress. El Cumbre means 'the summit" and it was here that William Rufus King, vice president with Franklin Pierce, dying of consumption. was sworn into office March 24, 1858.

A STRANGE TRAGEDY
BODIES OF YOUNG MAN AND WOMAN
 FOUND IN SOUND.
Belief That Louis Disbrow, Who h Missing, Ia Responsible For Their Deaths-Warrant For His Arrest Ia Insued.

Belief That Loui. Disbrow. Who h
 Deaths-warrant For His Arrest Is
 Issued.
 Washed up by the incoming tide, the bodies of Miss Sarah Lawrence and Clarence Foster, who had been miss ing for a week, were found in an inlet of Shinnecock bay, Long Island, on Saturday. The body of Foster was found on the beach by John Caffery, q fisherman, and the body of Miss Law renee was found by Willis Wells, a liveryman, who was one of several men searching the seashore.
 How Miss Lawrence and Foster died is unknown. Louis Disbrow, the only person who was with them, has disap- peared. Last Tuesday he sent a tele- gram from Passport, N. Y, to Mrs. |. Lawrence, mother of the dead girl, saying he would not rest until he had found the missing pair. He has not been heard from since. It is thought he is in New York. Coroner John Nu- gent inspected the bodies and gave per mits for their burial. Foster was buried in the village cemetery.
 The district attorney of Suffolk coun- ty is Investigating the tragedy, and he is inclined to think that Disbrow is responsible for the deaths of Foster and Miss Lawrence. William Walton, who was with Disbrow the day after the drowning, testified before the coro- ner that Disbrow said he had fought with Foster in Miss Lawrence's pres ence on the night of the disappearance of the two latter.
 Coroner Nugent has announced that he will yield to public sentiment and that the body of Clarence Foster will be exhumed and that the careful exam nation which was neglected last week will be made The coroner also admit ted that an outline of Disbrow's story had been placed in his possession He said that he had talked by telephone with the father of Disbrow, who had promised to produce his son. Later word was received that Mir. Disbrow i had decided not to keep his promise to the coroner. When this news reached MT. Nugent, he announced that he would at once issue a warrant for the arrest of Louis Disbrow.

PLOT AGAINST EDWARD
Rumor of Conspiracy to Kill the
 British Ruler.
RISES OUT OF THE KINGS ILLNESS

Sudden IndispOsitiOn Said to Have
 Been an Excuse to Keep Monarch
 Out of Harms way-ScOtland Yard
 Reticent.
 London, June 1S.-A sensational story Is current in London of the discovery of a plot to assassinate King Edward. This story has created considerable discussion in newspaper and other cir cles, but it is lacking in anything like official confirmation.
 According to the current report, King Edwards sudden illness at Al dershot was not due to a cold. but was merely an excuse for withdra wing his majesty from public functions owing to the discovery by Scotland Yard of a plot against his life. The principals in this plot have not yet been arrested.
 It is cited in confirmation of this story that King Edwards recovery when he was ensconsed at Windsor castle was as complete and speedy as his attack had been sudden.
 On the other hand, 1t must be pointed out that if his majesty's illness was merely diplomatic the officials certain ly took great deal of trouble in keep ing up the fiction. Sir Francis Laking. physician in ordinary to the king, was summoned by telegraph to Aldershot. His prescriptions were hurriedly filled, and everything about the kings apart ments indicated the genuine nature of his illness. Furthermore, King Ed wards journey from Aldershot to Windsor in his motor car and his sub sequent drive yesterday in Windsor park do not seem to indicate any fear of violent attack upon his person.
 Scotland Yard Reticent.
 At Scotland Yard last night the ut most reticence was maintained con corning these rumors. It was noticea- ble however, that the chief inspectors, who usually return home at night, were all on duty there, and while they refused to see newspaper reporters un- til tomorrow morning they declined ei- ther to deny or confirm the rumor.
 King Edwards drive to Frogmore In the afternoon in a closed carriage attended only by a gentleman of the household was quite unexpected and a great surprise to the spectators.
 The sun shone brightly at the time, and his majesty appeared delighted to be out again and bowed graciously and smilingly in return to the salutes from the crowd. If the weather continues fine, there Is a possibility that he will go to Ascot in a closed carriage, but the injunctions of his majesty's physi- clans that the royal patient should re- main as quiet as possible still hold good.
 All preparations have been made for the visit of the king and the queen to Eton next Saturday in the royal barge.

President Urges Concessions to Cuba.
 After talking with a number of the leaders in congress regarding Cuban reciprocity President Roosevelt on Fri. day sent a message to congress reaf- firming his attitude on the subject The president has earnestly considered the matter for several days. There is a disposition on the part of the leaders on both sides of the controversy to claim when speaking publicly some ad vantage from the message. The straight reciprocity men urge that the effect will be to cause at least some of the beet sugar Republicans to abandon their opposition. The beet sugar lead CTS declare that the message has caused no loss whatever to them and that all those senators who have hitherto stood with them are still with them. They also assert that the presidents interpo- sition in the matter had had the effect of causing to hesitate some senators who heretofore had not taken a posi- tive stand against reduction because of the feeling that the president should leave congress to deal with the subject in its present stage.
