rmnice of the United States Man-nt
War Insures a Quiet Election for
Peru—Ill( Petroleum Blaze Subdued
— Foreign.
Lima, Peru, June 3.—Owing to the
presence of the United States man-of
war Monterey, which haB been lying off
the coast for several days, the elections
will pass off quietly. The election Is to
choose a constitutional government? in
place of the provincial government re
cently selected through the interven
tion of the papal nuncio after the suc
cess of the revolutionists. Indications
already point to a return of stable gov
ernment, with a revival of American
financial Interests. The citizens of Lima
are of the opinion that If the Monterey
had been In Peru during the revolu
tion, when the Insurgents captured the
city, plundered dwellings and left the
dead unburled In the streets for two
days, its presence would have averted
these scenes of slaughter and the at
tendant paralysis of commercial Inter
ests. The arrival of the Monterey was
greeted with wild enthusiasm.

returned and compelled the French to
retire. Two Brazilians and one Portu
guese were taken prisoners by the re
treating troops.
The Brazilian government declares
that the French had no right to Invade
neutral territory. The episode, taken
together with the many other foreign
complications, may cause the resigna
tion of the minister of foreign affairs.
General Carvalho. The French minis
ter has ljeen ordered to make an en
ergetic protest.
Harburff Fire Is 8ubdued.
Harburg, June 3.—The great pe

stroyed five tanks of oil and a gre&t
deal of other property, has been mas
tered, although the inner tanks are still
blazing. The damage done is estimated
to amount to 3500,000. During the Are
huge mounds of earth were thrown up
around the burning tanks, thus pre
venting the Aames from spreading to
the adjoining factories and houses.

STEAMER JACK IS SUNK.

the Collision with the Norman.
Alpefta, Mich., June 3.—The Cana
dian steamer Jack, which collided with
and sank the steel steamer Norman
yesterday morning. Is now sunk at
False Presque Isle. Her stern is In
twenty-four feet of water and her bow
In nineteen feet. The torjvard end of
the boat Is badly stov > in, the decks
split and the timbers purted from the
stem by at least eight Inches. She may
be raised. There is no insurance on
boat or cargo.
-..v. i'a me titpidins oi tno
Norman, Jack and Sicken all agree that
there were many boats in the vicinity
of the wreck, and that all were blow
ing their whistles. This may account
for the difference in regard to the whis
tle signals said to have been given and
received by the Norman. The latter
was without cargo, and her bridge was
high in the air, enabling her captain
to see the Jack’s light over the fog.
The Jack was low down, which prob
ably accounts for her not seeing the
Norman until close to her. The Nor
man sank in about 180. feet of water.
Nothing has been seen Of the bodies of
those drowned.

Mrs. Martha M. Ellas of Minneapolis
Kills Her Daughter and Herself.

strange case of murder and suicide oc
curred at an early hour this morning.

nue. The old lady had evidently shot
the girl as she slept, and then turned
the revolver on herself, blowing the
whole top of her head off. They were
well-to-do, and the only apparent
cause for the tragedy lies in the sup
position that Mrs. Elias’ mind had been
affected by the violent death of her hus
band seven years ago.

ROBBERS RUN TO EARTH.
Three Clever rostofflee Thieve* Captured
In New York City.
New York, June 3.—The biggest and
most daring series of postofflee rob
beries that has ever been perpetrated
since the department was organized has
Just come to light. Three men have
been arrested in this city. They are
Joseph Killoran, Charles Allen and
Harry Russell. They are held in 35,

The Scranton postofflee was robbed
last August, during the absence of

at the noon hour. The thieves entered
the vault -by the inner steel door and
took away over 38,300 worth of postage
stamps In their original packages. On
Dec. 3 the postofflee in Hoboken was
entered during the absence of Post
master Curran and 36,561 worth of post
age stamps were taken. On April 3
last the postofflee in Springfield, 111.,
was robbed and upward of 36,000 worth
of postage stamps taken. In this case
also there was no forcing of doors. It
was sneak thieving, pure and simple.
"We know from our previous experi
ence,” said Inspector Holden, “when we
began to Investigate these cases, that
there were only twelve men in the Unit
ed States who could do this kind of
work. They are scientific bank sneak
thieves. We have been scouring the
country for evidence and have spent
five months in following various clues.
The roundup became closer and closer
until me finally identified Killoran, Al
len and Russel as three of the postof
flee thieves."
