Baltimore, Md, June 1.-Mayor Rob

killed himself al his home yesterday.
His bride of less than two weeks was at

mirror of the dressing case, the bullet

Mrs. McLane ard other members of
the household rushed to Mr. McLane's
assistance. but he did not regain con-
seriousness. and expired within an hour.
No cause can be assigned for the act
by the members of MIR. McLane's fam

CREATION of mind
Mayor McLane was elected as a
democrat to the office of chief magis-
trate of the municipality In May of last
year for term of four years. Under
the city charter he will be succeeded
by p. Clay Timanus, republican, pres
ibChN VI lilS SeGOIl VI Nut city
council. to serve out the lneXpiIei
term. The second branch of the coun-
ell, which is republican, viii elect a
president, not necessarily u member of
the present body, To preside over its
Deliberations.
Mayor McLane was &c years old, the
youngest chief executive Baltimore
ever had. He was the son of James l..
McI-ane, president of the First Ma
tional bank, and nephew of Robert NJ.
McLane. former governor of Maryland
and United States minister to France
during President Cleveland's first add
mInlstration.
Previous to his election as mayo he
had for four years filled the office Of
states attorney, in which no had distn-
guished himself. During his brief ndmn-
istration of the MAJORITY office he had
brought upon himself the antagonIsm of
the regular democratic organization by
the appointment of Independent members
of tho party. Recently there has ben
marked opposition to him among demo-
cratic members of the city council rclnt-
ing to tho rebuilding of Baltimore, and
this is ascribed by many as contributory
cause of suicide.
Mayor McIane was married two weeks
ago to Mrs. Mary Van Bibber. u we'll
known and popular society woman of Bal
timorc, and the newly made bride is pros
trated by the terrible tragedy.
The dead mayor was very popular
among the people irrespective of party.

All Yanq Pien Men Fieht.

st. Petersburg, June 1.-The war Of
flee has' .Ieceivea a report Of the fight
at All Yang Pieh Men on Saturday
night, in which two battalions of Japa-
nese infantry and a squadron ofscaval-
ny numbering 1900 men attacked five
squadrons of Cossacks. The Russian
losses were Cossacks killed, officer
wounded and horses killed. 1t Is be-
licved the japanese sustained no great
er casualties, although one account
says majority of the Japanese squad
ron of cavalry We're wiped out. The
war deRrtment attributes little i'm
oprtalte to this engagement, which
was heralded from Toxic as a Japanese
victory.
The Cossacks were encamped twelve
miles northwest of Kuan Dian Sian,
which was held by several Japanese
squadron of cavalry left on the 2Sth
for Saimatsha. This force encountered
the Cossack bivouac at 1890 the same
night and attacked the Cossacks, who
retired in good order, keeping up a
running fight along the road to Sal
matsha. There a great deal of firing
on both sides WAS done, but like most
fighting in the dark 1t was very inef-
fective, as shown by the smalness of
the Russian losses. On the goth the
Japanese returned to Kuan Dian Sian,
apparently in view of the possibility of
General Rennenlsampfs bringing up
reinforcements.
The statement enanating from Paris
that General Kuropatldn Is sending 3d.
600 troops to the southwark in the at
tempt to save Port Arthur from the
Japanese is declared here to be untrue.

May Try to Relieve Port Arthur,

Newchwang, June Refugees who
continue to arrive here from the south
ern part of the Lao Tung peninsula
report daily fighting there and severe
losses for both armies, but the reports
are not contlrmable officially.
The Russians acre are depending on
press bulletins for news from that
vicinity. The very highest Russian
authority here while not believing Port
Arthur will fail. admits that it's loss
would be a terrible blow to Russian
arms. The same authority says Rus
STA may send a large army to the
south of Newchwang in the event of
General Stoessel being able to hold his
own at Port Arthur. This, however, is
not possible at present owing to the
positions occupied by the Japanese
armies operating from the Yalu river
to Takushan. The Russians are not
sanguine as to the outlook for Port
Arthur. More contranand of war is
arriving here. and heavy rains daily
are making the roads almost impassa-
