PARIS IS MENACED
Police Do Not Desire 10 Solve Sieinheil Mysiery-So So Says
 Henri R0chefort.

Paris, June 9.-Henri Roehefort, ! the editor, insinuates in the Patrie lthat the police do not desire to solve Nthe mystery of the murder of Adolphe Steinheil, the noted paint CT, which occurred more than week ago. Yet, he says, he could solve the mystery in an hour if permitted to do so. He insists that the alleged robbery of the Steinheil house never occurred.
 The government deceives itself" 1" he continues, If it imagines that this affair will die out. It attracts more interest than many sensation al crimes. After the mysterious death of M. Felix Faure, the presi- dent of the republic, on the day on which the decree for the revision of the Dreyfus affair was to have been presented and which he would have refused to sign; after the pretended suicide of M. Syveton on the day be- fore he would have been acquitted of assaulting War Minister Andre and now after the strangulation of Steinheil by three men and woman who did not carry away even a spoon, Parisians are menaced by a sort of mafia
 Let an individual be suspected of having in his possession docu- ments embarrassing to those in power, and next morning he may he found with. a bullet in his head, a knife in his breast or cord around his neck"

LEGISLATURE WAS HARDY.
Board of Visitors to Military Academy
 Will Not Be Named Now.

Washington, June 9.-The chair man of the senate and house commit tees on military affairs will not ap- point members of the board of visit ors to the military academy at West Point at this time. The appoint ments will not be made for the meet ing of the board to take place until the close of next years work at the academy.
 This has resulted from the tardy legislation restricting such appoint ments to members of the senate and house committees on military affairs, the board appointed under the old law having met as usual only to find that they were without official standing
 Another complication has arisen because of the change in law which will not permit the payment of the expenses of the members of the old board except by authority of spe- be done by means of provision to he inserted in the deficiency bill next December.
 When the next board meets the chief difference in its personnel will be the lack of army officers of high rank. Under the new law only sem ators and representatives, members of the military affairs committees of both houses will have places on the board, the reason for that change be- ing the belief that 1t would permit congress to be kept in closer touch with the affairs of the academy than in the past.

He Will Remain at Present Location
 for the Present.

Luke Stapleton has withdrawn his application for a transfer of his li- cense from Meadow street to Judd street on the advice of council and will remain at his present location un- til the leaves begin to fall It is his intention now to keep pace with the filters in of the valley working in front of his saloon, to raise his building whenever necessary for in short time the temporary depot will be do- ing business in front of his saloon and it will be all pie to him for his is the only place of refreshments on the horizon. This view of the situa- ton did not occur to him until few days ago. By the time applications for renewals of liquor licenses will be here again, it will be ascertaned what kind of thoroughrare Judd street will likely be. If it promises to be business place, it is very likely there will be no remonstrance to his application for a transfer then.

 an EmbankmeDt
PASSENGERS INJURED

Buffalo, June 9.-A serious wreck occurred on the Wabash rail- road near Stevensville, On.ario, this afternoon. Three cars were de- railed and 20 passengers were in jured, several of them quite seri- ously
 The wrecked train was No 4 and was due in Buffalo at 5 o'clock this morning. So far as could oe learned from early reports there were four passenger coaches to the train and but one of them was left standing, the other three rolling over, carrying the passengers with them and cut ting and Wounding them with debris.
 Word of the wreck was sent to Buffalo immediately and a special relief train left here before ' o'clock with staff of doctors and nurses for the scene of the wreck.
 At 8:45 o'clock the relief train bringing back about sixteen injured persons, arrived at the New York Central station where ambulances were waiting to take six of them to hospitals. The others were able to continue their journey. All of the injured are said to be foreigners re- turning. to Europe. The first reports of the wreck said that number of persons had been killed. Later, how ever, came more conservative story to the effect that no one had been killed but that nearly twenty passen- gers had been injured .-.
 Early reports as to the cause of the wreck were meager it being said that one of the passenger coaches jumped the track and rolled into the ditch causing two other passenger coaches to do likewise.

MISS CAMDEN LOCATED
Women Who So wysteri0usly Disappeared From Wafer
 bury is in Paterson.

Miss Lizzie Cayden, niece of Mrs James McArdle of Waterville, whose mysterious disappearance last Christ mas caused her aunt much worry, is living in Paterson, N. J., accord ing to Mrs Sarah Scofield of North Main street. Mrs Scofield IS now at Savin Rock, but has been in town the past few days denouncing in most emphatic terms any responsibility for the actions of Miss Cayden in any respect. She seemed to be particu- larly angry at Mrs McArdle for con- meeting her name with the glrPs dis appearance, and she had word or two for the reporters also who had charge of the newspaper reports of the matter.
 Miss Cayden was seen in Water bury few evenings before her aunt, Mrs McArdle, called at police head quarters with picture of the girl, to get assistance in finding her. It was there she found the newspaper men, to whom she told all she knew about the circumstances of the girls then mysterious disappearance, and 1t seems that but for the interest the newspaper men took in the case the girls whereabouts would still be a mystery to her relatives.
 Miss Cayden was last employed at Calendars restaurant on South Main street and from there she went to work in some shop or residence at Reynolds Bridge, and from there, it seems, she went to Paterson. Be- fore leaving the Scofield house she donned some of the garments be- longing to the lady of the house, so Mrs Scofield says, and for that req son she was as anxious as anybody to locate her.

There has been in his talks an entire
and most agreeable absence of sensa-
tionalism or the weak sentimentality
that has a times in the past turned
men from the platform work of the
so-called revivalist. Mr.. Russell has
caused many a man in Honolulu to
take an inventory of himself and
those who were responsible for the ap-
pearance of the noted speaker here are
more than satisfied with the results
