BETTER LUCK THIS TIME" /"

On arrival at the Station House
yesterday morning, Captain Mehr-
tens found an anonymous commune
cation telling him that the missing
report on the Mounted Police was in
pigeon-hole in the desk of Mr..
Webb, managing proprietor and edi-
tor of the 4Advertiser. The note was
handed to Deputy Marshal Dayton,
who, considering it hoax, enclosed
it in an envelope to Mr.. Webb, and
sent it down by Mehrtens. Manag-
ing proprietor and editor Webb and
ex-manager Lyons received the of
ficer with some surprise and trepida-
ton, but conducted him into their
sdnct,tna sanctoruna, although un-
armed with the authoritative search
warrant. M. p. and F. Webb and
EN-. Lyons of course repudiated
all knowledge of the missing docu-
ment, but, alas, it was found, safely
ensconced in an editorial pigeon
hole with other literary pabulum. "
1t was carried off in triumph, and
deposited with Deputy Dayton,
through whom it was subsequently
again placed in the safe keeping Of
D. A.-G. q. !. Rosa, to be stored

bly, that the shareholders will be called upon
for double the liability and that Craig,
President, has committed a huge robbery on
his bank. His mansion, costing 100000,
and other real estate is all registered in
his wife's name, so that the shareholders

THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS IL CAUCUS.
\ caucus of Republican Senators was held
this morning, but not more than 10 senators
were present. Senator sherman occupied
the Char in the absence of Mr.. Anthony. A
resolution was unanimously agreed to au-
thorlzlng the Chairman to name a committee of
Senators to the rearranging of the Republi-
can membership of the Senate committees. A
resolution looking to the immediate election
OF oihcers OF the Senate was introduced, and
was the chief subject of discussion Senators
Logan, Edmunds, Plumb and Harrison were
among the speakers. The weight
OF opinion expressed favored delay in
the matter of electing the officers on
the ground that the last Congress
having passed the civil service law it would
not be consistent with civil service principles
for majority of the Senate to occupy its
time at the opening of the session in possible
struggle over the incumbency of the Senate

no pressing necessity for action at this time.
