BY HER FAIR HAND2
Viscount's Beautiful Mis-
tress, Under Suspicion,
Declares Him Suicide
(By the Associated Press.l

Paris, May 27.-Yvon Evans, known
as Viscount D'Oyley and son of the
American dentist, DR.. John Evans,
died today at a private sanitarium as
the result of a bullet wound received
under mysterious circumstances. The
family is prominent here, DR.. John
Evans being a nephew of the famous
DR.. Thomas Evans who assisted EN-
press Eugene in her. flight from Paris
after the Franco-PruSSian war.
DIR. John Evans, who came from
Baltimore, received the title of the
Marquis D'Oyley from the Pope, his
older son assuming the title of Count
D'Oyley and the younger that of Wis
count D'Oyley, by which titles they
were generally known.
The younger son, who was "a years
old, recently became enamored of
Nine. Phucker, Peruvian, who was
sojourning at Vichy. Despite the pro-
tests of his family the Viscount and
the Peruvian visited the Riviera to-
gether remaining at Cannes for some
time. DIR. Evans theoretically pro-
tested against his sons course, and
finally cut off his income. This
brought the couple back to Paris
where they arrived a week ago, going
to the Hotel De Rivoli
At o'clock Monday evening last
q shot was heard in the chamber of
the Viscount, and when the proprietor
of the hotel reached the chamber he
found the Viscount on a bed with a
wound in his left breast. Nine.
Pfucker, who was in the room said
that the Viscount had shot himself
and although weak from loss of blood,
the wounded man seemed to confirm
this statement, saying that the shoot
ing took place while he was handling
the weapon.
Nine Pnucker was interrogated by
the police and later was given proViS-
ional liberty but was told to hold her
self at the disposal of the authorities
She bears out the theory of suicide
by showing two letters which Wis
count D'Oyley had addressed to the
authorities, stating that it was his in
tention to. commit suicide owing to
family difficulties

fBy the Associated Press

Mobile, Ala, May 26.-The storm of
yesterday in the General Assembly
was followed today by a calm which
came with the final action on the re-
port of the committee on closer rela-
tions, ending the rather spirited de-
bate, which was at times very exciting.
In the afternoon session there was
some further debate on the subject
OF the report of the committee on
colored evangeliZation and the matter
was brought to a head by the final
adoption of the report including the
recommendation of the appropriation
of $4,000 for this work during the
ensuing year.
The debate in the afternoon session
was somewhat enlivened by the re-
port of the committee on foreign mis-
S1onS, which made no recommendation
for the retention of DR. Chester, the
present secretary of the foreign mis-
sion board, who has occupied the posi-
ton for the past fifteen years His
friends took exception to this and
some of them characterized it as
stab in the back at DIR. Chester, and
his friends offered substitute to the
report looking to his retention in the
once. The matter went over and ac-
ton was deferred until tomorrow.
The General Assembly of the Pres
Dyter1an church in the United States
today adopted the report of a commit
tee faVOring closer relations with 9TH
er Presbyterian bodies.
Debate is Limited
By vote of 81 to 70, debate on
the subject was limited to five minutes
by each speaker An exception was
made in the cases of DR.. Boggs, chair
man of the special committee, and DR..
"A. c. Hopkins, the leader of the oppo-
sitiCn to the adoption of the report.
Speeches advocating the adoption of
the majority report for closer fela-
tons were made by Judge S. M. Shell
don. of Vicksburg, Miss; DR.. j. c.
Fair, Savannah, Ca; j. H. Hill. Max
ton, n. c.; DR.. H. w. Burnell, Angus
ia, Ga; and Rev. A. E. Baker, Mary
land.
Speeches in opposition to the adop-
ton of the report were made by Rev
S. Archer, of Greenville, Miss, and
Rev. G. A. Storrs. of Virginia.
DIR. Hopkins said he was against the
appointment of what he termed an
omnibus conference committee as
called for in the mapority report, but
favored conference for closer rela-
tionS with the Dutch Reformed
church. He said that in his opinion
the Northern church had expunged
nothing, as the resolution of 1861 had
not been withdrawn. He said the
Dutch church wanted to be on friend
ly terms but did not desire a union.
DR.. w. q. Boggs, chairman of the
special committee that brought jim
the majority report favoring closer re-
lations, spoke for the adoption of the
report. He said it would be discount
eous TO adopt the substitute report.
The question was called for on the
adoption of the Hopkins substitute
and it was lost by a vote of ga to 80.
The majority report which favors
closer relations was then adopted and
the assembly adjourned until three
o'clock.

finally passed. 1t fixed for a vote at
1850 o'clock tomorrow and limits the
remaining addressing to ten minutes
each.
The drift Of debate today favored
union. 1t was the feeling tonight that
the proposal for union will be carried
by large majority, but that PROPOSE
ton for separate presbyteries might
be referred back to committee. The
colored delegates are against this sec
ton to man.

st. Petersburg, May 26.-The gen
eral staff is not in a position tonight
to confirm or deny the Toxic report
that the Japanese have occupied Kin
Chou. The latest official information
regarding fighting in that vicinity was
conveyed in General Kuropatkin tel
egram which said that the japanese
bad lost seven hundred on May Is.
This agrees with information CON
tanned in the Associated Press dis
patches Of May Is, General Kuropat-
kin apparently accepting the report
from the same Chinese source.
1t would be a great surprise to the
authorities here If the report OF the
capture of Kin Chou should prove to
be true.
The impression heretofore contained
is that Kin-Chou would prove a hard
nut for the Japanese to crack ana
that it's reduction would need seige
train and call for careful approaches
which would occupy the enemy Tor a
long time.
The opinion of the best authorities
is that if the Japanese rushed KIN
Chou by a frontal attack unsupport-
ed by heavy guns, which II is not
believed they possess, the capture of
the place must have been effected at
great loss to the attackers.
