ST. tOUI3, June 12.— The river contin

a sudden decline will be disappointed. If

Broadway In East St. Louis will probably

street. In some places portions Jit the
street have caved in and to-night a large
section near Eighth street ' went down,
but the street car tracks still hold the
street from giving ' way entirely. Even
if it does break"' the result will be simply,
that the water Is let through to Missouri
avenue, a parallel street one block north,
the sooner. The water Is 'seeping through
Broadway steadily and in large quantities
and must finally completely inundate all
that portion of the city south" of Missouri

ROCHESTER, Ind.; June 12.-Last night
at midnight an express car attached to
the eastbound train on the Erie Railway
was entered by robbers Just outside of
Englewood, who completely looted it. The
robbers threw undesirable express pack
ages along the road all the way from
Hammond to Rochester. The crew'of a
freight train followed the express car and
'discovered the packages beside the. track
and notified the officers at Huntington,
where the express car door was forced
open. As this was done one of the rob
bers dashed out, firing two ehots, and
made his escape.
The police then made their way into the
car and found two other robbers hiding
behind some packages. They were placed
under arrest. In all the pockets in their
clothing they had valuable goods stored
away. Every package in'the carwlth the
exception of one, had been pried open.

Iron production is at the highest polr.:
ever recorded, but the. late weakness in

tone, though advance buying is still the
exception. Tlnplate production at pre3e:;:
Is of enormous volume.
Fronvanother source it was learned that
when Senor Knrique received his formal
instructions from tbe President the latter
made no mention of Coney and seemingly
was oblivious to the fact that he was
about to replace a man who had once
saved • his life. This fact is accepted by
the Mexican colony as Indicative of some
unpleasantness between the President and
Coney and it is thought It led to his re
call. At the home of Coney on Post
etreet,. a servant informs those who call
to Inquire of the whereabouts of the for
mer Mexican representative that his fam
ily Is our and she does not know In what
part of the world Coney Is at the present
time. Meanwhile the stories about him
continue to grow. In fact, the colony Is
talking of nothing else and wildly specu
lating on the real cause for his removal.
Simultaneously with the receipt of the.
news that Coney was in New -York were
circulated ugly stories regaining his al
leged " mismanagement of the consular
business here, but If there is any founda
tion for these stories the new Consul
General says he has' no knowledge of
them. When asked yesterday regarding
Coney, Senor Enrique said that he knew
nothing about his predecessor and that
when the office was turned over, to him by
Del Past) Its affairs appeared to be ail
right, j i :;v-. • .
STORIES ARE CIRCULATED.
When the news was first spread that
Coney had been recalled it was generally
supposed that the President of the'south
ern republic had tleclded to give him some
other and more important station, for it
had been known, or at least supposed, for
years here that Coney and the President
were very close friends, a relationship
that had grown out of the fact that years
ago, before Coney had entered the con
sular service, he had saved the life of the
President. It is no secret In local consu
lar circles that several attempts had been
made by Mexican residents of this city
during the past ten years to have Coney
recalled, but these appeals seemingly met
with no favorable consideration from
President Diaz. It was apparent that
Coney was well entrenched In hfs position
despite his unpopularity here and it was
generally conceded that his term of office
would last as long as President Diaz ad
ministered the political affairs of the
republic Consequently, when the news
reached here that the Consul General had
been recalled it created no end" of sur
prise, which only abated for a tfme when
the report went out that another and
higher position awaited Coney when he
returned, to Mexico and met the Presi
dent. , • -. -
It is now learned that the former Con
sul General did not return to Mexico, as
ordered, but hastened off to New York,
where he has since remained. Why he
failed to return to Mexico and what
prompted his sudden leave taking are
matters that have stirred up considerable
gossip in the Mexican colony and caused
many disagreeable rumors to be circu
lated.
GOES TO NEW YORK.
What has become of A. K. Coney, for
mer Consul General of Mexico at this
port? What ia his political fate? These
questions are greatly agitating the mem
bers of the local Mexican colony, who are
yet to obtain an explanation for the sud
den recall and supplanting of Coney, who
presided* over the consulate In this city
for eighteen years. ,
Nearly three months have passed since
Coney suddenly left the city. Not the
slightest intimation of his going away was
given to his friends, who first learned of
his departure after a man named Del
Paso had taken temporary charge of the
consulate. A week later the announce
ment came. from the City of Mexico that
a new Consul General had been appointed
to the local post and would soon start
northward for the city.
It was then that Inquiries were Inaugu
rated regarding tbe removal of Coney
and the story was circulated that he had
been recalled. Later another statement
was given out by a member of his family
that Coney was to receive the appoint
ment of Consul General to New York, but
this has since been denied. Meanwhile it
had developed that Coney did not return
to the City of Mexico and for a time the
local colony was at a loss for a sugges
tion as to his whereabouts.
There will be a meeting of Republican
citizens, of the Forty-first Assembly Dis
trict u.is evening at Steimke Hall on Oc
tavia street, near Union. This -meet
ing will not be held under the aus
pices of the United Republican League.
The Forty-first is a remarkably indepen
dent district. At one election the district
may give a Republican candidate for
Mayor 1000 majority and at the next elec
tion give a Democrat a majority of 500.
The impression now exists in the minds of
many Republicans of the Forty-first that
A. Ruef may use t«.e prestige of the
United Republican League to advance the
interests oi Mayor Schmltz for another
term, hence there Is a strong- sentiment
In favor of TJreperving the independence
of the district organization.

elected in l&M, together with twenty hold
over Senators, will elect a tSenator of the
United States for the term of six years,
beginning March 4. 1905. It will be readily
perceived that Senator Bard has ample
time to form his conclusions regarding a
candidacy for another term. He is now out
for a vacation, which he has fairly earned,
and does not desire to discuss politics.

Dr. Miles* Heart Cure
Cured Me.
The effect of excessive smoking shown by
such symptoms as heart pains, heartburn,
smotherin? spells, shortness of breath, flat*
terinr and palpitation, is most serious. If
rour heart is in any way affected you should
at once begin the use of Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure which enriches the blood, regulates the
heart's action and improves the circulation.
"I am a. local newspaper man and
have been an inveterate smoker since my
boyhood. A little over a year ago I first
"noticed symptoms cf heart trouble, palpita-
tion and acute pains and a peculiar, I might
tay, indescribable feeling across my chest
.Local physicians said I had 'tobacco heart'
I quit smoking for * while and took regular
dote, of digitalis and belladona with some
.relief but the same old symptoms were still
there. A triend of mine here recently died
of what the doctor said was valvular disease
of the heart. Knowing that his svmptoms
were similar to mine I felt that my 'time too
was limited, although I am still a young
man, in my thirty-ninth year. In Skillman
& Stone's drug store here Dr. Miles' New
.Heart Cure was recommended. I began
taking it and I can positively state that its
effect is marvelous. I have just finished my
third bottle and feel rike a 'kid' and believe
I am cured. This letter is the spontaneous
utterance of one who wishes to thank you
for benefits received." — Wm. N. Gra..vt,
