SAYS BOXES ARE STUFFED.
Hearst's Lawyer Says He Can Prove
Fraud Charge.

New York, Tune 26.-With the
practical close Of the actual recount
ing of the votes cast in the. last
mayoralty contest today, came
charges by Clarence J. Shearn. coun-
sci for w. r. Hearst, that ballot
boxes had been stuffed. When Mr..
Hearst began his legal contest for
the mayors office, now occupied by
George B. Mcclellan, he had plu-
rality of 1884 votes to overcome. The
returns from the contents of only 40
out of total of 1885 ballot boxes
remained to be recounted when court
adjourned today.
As the recount stands with the
contents of 46 boxes unreported, Mr.
Hearst has made a net gain of 863,
leaving plurality of 2,o71 for Mr..
Mcclellan.
Mr.. Shearn said that his client
would still be able to prove fraud suf-
iciently glaring to invalidate Mr.. Nc

Ex-President Family OptImishc
to the Last--IIIness Becomes GER

Loses Staunch Friend.

Princeton, N. j. June 24.-Groyer
Cleveland. twice president OF the
United States, died at $40 o'clock this
morning at his home, Westland, in
this quiet college town, where he had
lived since his retirement as the ma
tons chief executive, almost IL years
ago
When death came, which was sud
den, there were in the death chamber
on the second floor Of the Cleveland
residence, Mrs. Cleveland, Dr. Joseph
d. Bryant, Of New York, Mrs. Clevc.
lands family physician and personal
friend; DR.. George r. Lockwood, also
Of New York, and DR. John M. Car
nochan, Of Princeton
An official statement, given out and
signed by the three physicians, gave
heart trouble, superinduced by stom-
ach and kidney ailments Of long
standing. as the cause Of death.
While Mr. Cleveland had been in
poor health for the last two years,
and had lost 100 pounds in weight,
his death came unexpectedly. Some
three weeks ago he was brought home
from Lakewood, where his condition
for time was such that the hotel al
which he was staying was kept open
after its regular season because he
was too i'll to be moved. But when
Mr.. Cleveland was brought back to
Princeton, he showed signs of i'm
provement, and actually gained five
pounds in weight.
Although confined to his room con
tinuously after his return to Prince
ton, it was not until yesterday that
Mr.. Cleveland's condition aroused I'M
easiness on the part of Mrs. Cleve-
land. Undoubtedly affected by the
heat, Mr. Cleveland showed signs OF
failure, and Mrs. Cleveland tele-
phoned to DR.. Bryant, who came over
from New York on the train arriving
here at 4:24 P. M.
Mr. Cleveland became worse during
the night, and Mrs. Cleveland was
called to his bedside, The dstin-
guished patient sank into unconscious
ness, from which he recovered al
times, only to suffer relapse. This
continued throughout the night and
early morning. The last time he be-
came unconscious was about two
hours before he died. Death was
peaceful Just before he died Mr.
Cleveland sought to say something,
but his words were inaudible.

masts, sea boots and oil skins with
ambergris, valued at approximately
s4OO pound, sailors on the British

worth of the stuff, unaware of the
value. It was not until yesterday
that John Mathiesen, master Of the

small part of the grease had been
saved, and this was identified by an
Oakland druggist as ambergris.

REBELS ADVANCE.
Apparently Going to Loot Rich City
of Torreon.

III Paso, June EEL Correo, the
conservative daily Mexican newspaper
OF Chihuahua, in its issue yesterday
morning, which arrived here last
night, has a story that an army OF
strength variously estimated at IRON
1000 to 1000 men is marching on 'tor-
reon, one OF the richest cities IN the
state of Coahuia,
The story, after reviewing the at
tack on Viesca tells OF reported at
tempts to rob the pay train OF the
Mexican Central railroad, and says
that the country around Torreon
which is so closely settled that there
arc stations about every four kilo-
meters, is swarming with armed men,
who appear at the railroad stations
with guns and cartridge belts.
These same reports" says Fl Cor
REQ, say that three bridges on the
railroad between Parass and Torreon
have been burned, probably with the
object of impeding the passage OF
troops into Torreon. The incendiaries
also probably selected Torreon for
invasion because they considered it
a rich city to loot. Among the re-
ports that we have heard is one which
says that about 1000 armed men, near
ly all of whom are inhabitants Of
ranches, are said to have passed
Hornos. in the state Of Coahuila, on
the Coahuila & Pacific railroad, about
65 kilometers from Torreon.
Whether the movement is directed
against the government Of Coahuila
or against the federal government, no
one is able to say 1t is generally
supposed the movement is not against
the state, but against the federal gov
eminent One version says the revo-
luton is wholly against the state of
Coahuila. that the governor is not ac
ceptable TO the people Of that state,
and that he was forced upon them by
the president of the republic.
1T is also said that train Of in
fantry has been sent TO Torreon from
Monterey and small detachment Of
cavalry"

Correo as the object Of attack, is one
