depositors have given the necessary no
tlce. The directors were in secret ses-
sion to-day. 1t is said to be the rule for
janitors of bank buildings in this city
to have the combination of vaults.
Every available detective in town has
been assigned to the case.
The Evening Post says, so far as can
be ascertained, no arrests have been
made yet. Supt. Walling said, this
morning, he could give no new infor-
nation about the case; denied he pro
fessed last night to have a clue to the
robbers, and if he had one he would
not admit it. The janitor and watch
man are at the bank to-day, helping to
straighten out the matter.
Augustus Schell, democratic candi-
date for mayor, and brother of the
president, says the bank will have a sur
plus Of 100000 Of all the coupon bonds
stolen which were counted as lost
Great crowds continued all the morning
about the bank
The robbers left behind a skeleton
key, also three pair Of hand cuffs. Oh
40 or SO boxes stored away 20 had been
opened and their contents rifed. It is
possible the amount taken may be
S3, 100000, since the contents of num-
Der of tin boxes containing coin and
government bonds, with which the
sides of the vault were lined have dis
appeared.

shot was fired, at window in the Hotel
de Paris, situated at the junction of the
Carrera San Geronimo and the Gale
Alcala, and overlooking the Puerta de
sol. This hotel is a long distance from
the scene of the attack but looks
across the great central plaza of Madrid,
directly down the Gale Mayor.
General Grant, who was following
with his eyes the progress Of his roval
cavalcade, which had just passed across
the Puerta Del Sol before him, said to
the Herald correspondent that he clear
~ saw the flash of the assassin's pistol.
The General had already booked for
Lisbon by the nj ght train, leaving at 7
o'clock, and therefore could not present
his congratulations to King AL honso,
but to Senior Silvera, the Minister of
ate, who called soon after and accom-
panied him to the railway station, Cen
eral Grant expressed his svmpathies and
regretted that he was unable to post
pOne his journey IN order that he might
personally call upon his Majesty. He
requested Senior Silvera to convey the
KIND and sincere congratulations upon
his escape from the assasin's bullet.
ALARMING NEWS FROM BULGARIA.
Vienna advices Of the Goth say the
news from Bulgaria is alarming. Nota-
bles are organizing movement for
the determination of Mahomadans, and
Russians encourage the secret commits
sion in procuring arms. A great strug-
gle is likely to take place during the
winter.
TURKISH SLAVE TRADE.
A Constantinople dispatch of Octo-
Der 26th Says the British minister
energetically insists on the execu-
ton of the treaty between the Porte
and England abolishing the sale and
importation of slaves. Layard demands
the freedom Of the slaves who recently
took refuge at the British consulate.
RUSSIA BENT ON CONQUEST
A London cablegram dated 5 A. NJ.
Oct. 26th contains the following: The
Standard publishes a sensational dis
patch from Vienna to the effect that
Russia's military preparations are so
vast that nobody can doubt she is bent
upon further conquest. The only ques-
ton appears to be whether she viii wait
till spring or recommence the war be-
fore that time. The excuse will prob
ably be the outbreaks of the Bulgarians,
which were gotten up by Russian agents.
A camp Of 10000 men is forming at
Aischeneff to replace the troops who
crossed the Balkans southwark.
Russia refuses to evacuate the Do
brudscha or Roumania until Roumania
has concluded an offensive and defensive
alliance. Russian agents openly claim
that Moldavia as far as the Sereth must
become Russian.
The Times says: "Russia ventures to
stand in the way of the execution Of the
Berlin treaty because she trusts to the
forbearance Of others. A word spoken
in earnest by England or Austria would
bring Der to her senses in moment.
1t is preposterous to assert that our
hands can be tied by the Afghan diff
Guilty. We must force ourselves upon
Afghanistan to the exclusion of others
who have no right there. Our course
is clear. When we shall enter upon it
is another question. 1t IS certain, now
ever, that decisive campaign will not
commence before spring. Our attention
will meanwhile be given to carrying out
the Berlin treaty." @A-

BARON DE PALMS ASHES.
How They are TO be Committed to the
Sea by the TheOsOphists.
New York Sun.

After the body of the late Baron de
Palm had been cremated in DR.. LIE
Moyne's furnace at Washington, Pa,
the ashes were carefully gathered up by
Hieropeant Olcott: placed reverently
in a small porphyry vace, embellished
with Hindoo NEUROLOGICAL designs, and
brought to the Lamasery of the Theo-
sophs, at eighth avenue and forty
seventh street in this city. There they
have since remained under the care of
the Hierophant and Nine. Blavatsky,
corresponding secretary of the society.
The cremation of the body is but one Of
the steps In disposing of the dead, &C
cording to the usages of the society.
The final rite among the Hindoos is,
with great and mysterious ceremonies,
to cast the ashes into the Gauges, and
it has been the intention of the officers
of the American branch of the Agra,
Semaj to perform this last service to the
memory of their late associate. 1t has
been found impracticiable however, if
even it is necessary, to convey the ashes
to India, and the contents Of the urn
now at the Lamasery wall, instead, be
cast into the broad bosom Of the At
lantic. il, .a =.
Just when this Interesting ceremony
will take place the Hierophant of the
Agra Samaj seems unwilling to say, but
the full arrangements have been recent
~ perfected and the date therefore
cannot be far distant. The place
chosen is little cove on the New Jersey
coast, making into a rather extensive
farm belonging to member of the
society. A rocky projection at either
side of the cove breaks the force ofthe
surf and leaves a quiet amphltheatre
within, perhaps three or four acres IN
extent. The urn will be brought to this
secluded spot by the Hierophant,, &C
companied by all the resident members
of the society and such friends as may
be honored by an invitation. The ex-
ercises will be at night, and will begin
with a solemn chant sung by a dozen
voices. The vedic ritual will be very
long and impressive, and will be par
ticipated in by a mysterious Hindoo
pandit.i

AFTER Mercedes death King Alton

AFTER Mercedes death King Alfonso
passed every moment not absolutely
needed for business of state secluded in
the Escurial, spending many hours in
the vaults and declining to see any one,
His table was always set for two, and he
would remain gaping at the vacant
chair opposite him, hardly touching a
morsel of food. 1t required the earnest
representations of his family and min
listers that this seclusion might breed
popular discomfort to induce him to re
turn to Madrid and resum e his audien-
ces and public appearances.

He Thought He Had EN-.

It was evident that he had been on
long arduous spree. His face was red.
has eyes were bleary and his hands shook.
He stepped unsteadily from the slippry
snow into a Sixth avenue Car. The seats
were occupied by ladies who were out
shopping, and he had to stand. He
clung to a strap, and tried hard to as.
sumo q calm, dignifed manner but his
assumed stiffness became limberness
whenever the car stopped, started, or
turned q corner. Yet he seemed to be
satisfied that ne impressed the ladies as a
sober, self-possed man, whereas his pit
liable condition was apparent to all. .
His eys fell on one Of the panels over
the windows where the advertisement Of
an express company was framed, with
a horses head SO hung in central open
ing that it moved with every jog Of the
car. He did not know that such figures
are new device in horse-car advertis-
ing. He stared, with widely opened eyes,

at the no5ding head of the beast, and
then resolutely turned away, determined
that the ladies should not be made aware
of what he thought was slight touch Of
delrium tremens. In another panel was
a shoemak advertisement, and he be-
gan to read it, hoping to divert his mind
from the queer fancy about the horse
He perused the first printed line, which
led his eyes along to a picture of a shoe
maker seated on bench at work. Sud-
denly, as the car ran over chunk of ice,
the man in the picture moved his arms,
as though sewing the boot in his lap, and
nodded his head violently. The drunkard
involuntarily CALCULATED Ah-h! and
stared in horror. The ladies regarded
him wonderingly.
A stretch of smooth track made the
figure quiet, and the pcrturbed passen-.
ger, with a strong effort regained his
composure. He took a frmer grip of the
strap, pulled himself up to very up
right attitude, and coughed violently, SO
as to make the ladies think that his
ejaculation had been caused by something
wrong in his throat. The color of his
face which had deepened to purple, was
slowly paling to scarlet. when he saw a
placard Of a mustard manufacturer bear
ing the. trade mark-a COW. The car
jolted and the cows head and tail swayed
gently and naturally. The sight doubt.
less destroyed the drunkard's last inger-
ing doubt, for he cried, five got en-
and started for the door. Casting his
eyes at the pictures, he saw that the shoe
maker was sewing faster than before. the
horse was nodding with renewed vigor,
the COW Tvs sahaking her head and tail
with vicious energy, and even the mouth
OF dog was rapidly opening and shut
ting. Yes, I've got 'em, sure" he said,
as he brushed past the conductor and
jumped from the Car.
