NOW IT IS $4,000.
A Clue to the Adams Express RSSber
Found.

ST.. LOUIS, October 30.-As the days
pass the amount stolen from the Adams
Express car on the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco Railroad last Monday night, grows
with alarming rapidity. First it was said
to be $50, 600, then so, 600, then $780, 600,
and to-day, from the facts CLEANED from
the different shippers of money by the
Adams Company OIL Monday, the amount
is estimated to be at least 500, 600 and
may aggregate $780, OO. Manager Weir
was seen last evening, and said to a repor-
ter that the best detective talent that
could be found was working upon the case
but that there were so many clews as to
who perpetrated the robbery that it was
difficult to select from among them. The
threads of evidence were numerous, but
they were gradually being woven together
and they expected to hear from their
agents in a day or two.
Later in the evening Mr.. Weir received
advices which caused his hasty departure
from the city. Where he went no one on
the outside knows and the company's Off
Gals refused to say. Mr.. Damsel, manager
of the st. Louis Office, said that important
news had called him away and that they
had at last struck the right clue. They
were sure of their man and he would soon
be arrested. As to the robbers where
abouts or identity nothing could be learned.

A ROYAL Scandal Smothered.

LONDON, October 30.-Ap press represent
alive to-day confirms what has hitherto
been covertly whispered in select circles
concerning the connection of the Prince of
Wales with the scandal attached to the
marital relations of Lord and Lady Colin
Campbell. Lord Colin found in her Lady
ships desk q package of letters which had
from time to time been addressed to her
by the Prince of Wales. These letters
were sufficiently cordial In tone
and betrayed ample solicitude for the
lady's happiness to justify the suspicion OF
her husband that the discreetly phrased
notes really meant more than they cx-
pressed.
Lord Campbell Immediately divulged
the fact and nature of his discovery ofhis
father, the Duke or Argyll, and the latter
made haste to to lay the matter before the
Queen, between whom and the Duke there
was held a long consultation, resulting in
the summoning of the Prince i'll the royal
presence. His Royal Highness admitted
without hesitation that he had written the
letters in question, protested his innocence
of any motive in writing them other than
a feeling OF friendly interest in a brilliant
young American lady whom everybody
pitied because of her husbands notorious
neglect and, ~rumor-said, worse. Finally
Lord Campbell placed himself and his case
entire in his fathers hands, and the Duke,
presumably in obedince to the Royal
command, obtained the letters and for
warded them 20 the Queen. 1t is under
,IooJ tbaf tho lattaru have since hppn de
stroyed and the only tangible evidence o.
the Princes interest in the beautiful re-
spondent thus passed out of sight.

DUTY ON IRON ORE.
What the Western Iron Ore Association
Has to Say of the Recent Decision.

What the Western Iron Ore Association
Has to Say of the Recent Decision.
CLEVELAND, October 30.-The follow
ing telegram was sent to-day to the United
States Treasury Department relative to
the recent decisions in the duty oil iron
ore, as sent out by the Western Associated
Press from Washington yesterday:
Hon. C.. S.. Fdirchld, assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury, Washington, ID. C.:
The undersigned, representing a produc-
tion of over three million tons of American
iron ore in the States of Michigan, WiscOn-
sin and Minnesota, which product would
be directly affected by such
decision of the Treasury Department
as is indicated in Associated Press dis
patches of this morning, respectfully rep
resent that the iron ore of line is
never bought and sold dried at a temper
ature of 2l2 degrees Fahrenheit; that uni
verSally and everywhere it is sold by the
ton with what ever moisture may be in it
when it comes to market. The effect Of
such construction of the law would largely
reduce the rate OF duty on Foreign ores,
and operated most iniuriOusly on the
vast amount of American capital and
hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
can labOrers engaged in American ore
production. Having no intimation of such
an application for virtually large reduction
of duty, we respectfully ask for the sus-
pension of decision OF the department upon
this subject and that we may nave M OPP
p~ortunity for q hearing for the establish
ment of the facts we have stated.

THE AnEER'S TROOPS
Put to ROut by Afghan Rsb~els-England
Greatly Excited Over
RUHORS OF RUSSIAN INTERVENTION.

LONDON, October 3O.-Considerable ex-
element has been created in Ministerial
circles by dispatches from Cabul, Afghan
istan, stating that the Ghilza tribe, with a
portion OF the Hazaras tribe, joined by the
renowned robber chief, Sadu, under the
command of the notorious Mushki Alum
Molah, have reyolted against the Ameer's
rule, and, near Ghuznee, attacked and dis
persed an Afghan regiment that was escort
ing treasure. The latter, with a number
of prisoners, fell into the hands of the
rebels. The rising is attributed to discon-
tent at the excessive taxation which is be-
ing levied by the Afghan Government 1t
is feared that unless the revolt is at once
put down Russia will seizet the opportunity
of sending troops into Afghanistan, on the
plea of restoring order, and will thus adj
vance another step towards India.

An Extraordinary Clawing and Hair
Pulling Match of Fifteen Rounds.
LONDON, October 30.-A dispatch from
Wales gives particulars of an extraordl-
nary case which has just been heard be
fore the magistrates at Pontypriodd, and
which illustrates the kind of "civiliza-
tom which still prevails in certain por-
tons of the country which sends its mis-
sionaries TO the utmost parts of the earth.
Two women named Mary Ann Carter and
Sarah Ann Williams were charged with
being principals in a prize fight, and their
husbands with aiding and abetting them.
The evidence showed that the stakes were
$50 side. A ring was
formed, with u master OF ceremonies
the husband of each woman acting rs her
attendant and hacker. Fifteen rounds
were fought, the pugilists clawing each
others face and pulling hair vigorously and
both losing blood in the third round. Final
w in the fifteenth round the Carter woman
tainted, and after waiting the usual time
for her revival, the fight was awarded 10
her rival. In spite of this evidence, how
ever, the magistrates who had listened to
the different recitals with evident interest,
and who apparently wished they had wit
messed the sport, cOntented Themselves
with filming the husbands one pound each,
and ordering the women to find bonds TO
keep the peace for n period OF six months.

in Morris & Swift's house signed a con-
tract last night to resume the ten hour
system, commencing on Monday next.
The wages paid per day will be an adj
vance of from % to so per cent. per day

LONDON, October 30.-In the first heat
in the international double sculling con-
test ON the Thames to-day, Perkins and
Goodwin got a lead of nine lengths in the
time allowed them. Ross and Lee, after
they started, gained steadily, and at Put
ney bridge, q mile from the start, only
four lengths separated them. Ross and
Lee continued to pull a stroke which
placed them nearer their opponents, and
when Walden's Wharf was reached they
were scarcely two lengths behind. Des-
pite the ground the Americans had gained,
bets ut odds of six to four on the British
team were made. The latter were now
rowing in better form and a good bit OF
sculling followed. The Americans, how
ever, did not head Perkins and Goodwin,
who won the heat by Il lengths.
The second heat was between John
Teemer and Albert Hamm, who had the
Middlesex station, and G.. Bubear and w.
G.. East, who had the Surrey station. Bu-
bear and East had twelve seconds start OF
their opponents, who started from the
scratch. The British Oarsmen were eight
lengths in the lead when Teemer and
Hamm started. The latter gained steadily
and were only q length behind when Put.
ney bridge was reached. A quarter OF 4
mile beyond this point the Oarsmen were
on even terms. 4 splendid race for q
! quarter of q mile ensued, and the Amerl'
cans got half a length in front and gave
their wash to the British Oarsmen, who
struggled hard. After splendid racing the
| Americans steered out and Bubear and
East soon slowed down. Teemer and
| Hamm won the heat easily by several
lengths. The final heat and the race wa.
won by Teemer and Hamm who defeated
Perkins and Goodwin.
At the outset of the final heat Perkin:
and Goodwin got an advantage of sever
lengths.
All heats were rOwed on the flood tid'
but the current during the final heat wa:
more sluggish than hen trial heats were
rowed.

up and a quarter of a mile further on they
went well ahead, and pulling steadily
crossed the line easy winners by seueraI
lengths. The prize for the crew OF the
