WHOLESALE ROBBERY,

The Government Robbed of Silver Dollars
 to a Large. But at Present Unkn pwn
 Amount, in Transit From New Orleant
 to Washinet ton-The Express Company
 Responsible.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Treasury officials have discovered that they have been robbed of new silver dollars. to what extent or by whom they do not ye. know. The secret-service detectives are, making an investigation. The mint at New Orleans has been overloaded with new silver com, and to relieve it the de- partment is shipping millions oe dollars to Washington to be stored i'll the new silver vault III the treasury courtyard. The money is shipped in sealed wooden boxes, each containing two bags of a thousand dollars each. When one of these boxes was opened at the dcpart- ment day or two ago it was found to contain nothing but shot. A second box was opened and one of the bags in it as found to contain nothing more valuable than lead. The matter was at once re- ported to the secretary and by him re- ferred to the secret service lofffcers who are making careful and active investi gatlon. The boxes are carefully sealed before they leave the mint, and are guarded on the train. They are taken from the depot at Washington to tue Treasury building in a large express wagon, caged in on all sides with heavy steel wire, and guarded by representa- tlVes of the express company and of tue Treasury, who are heavily armed and sit on the boxes within the cage. Every c are that can be thought Of is taken to guard against loss, and the detectives are pug zled to know how it was possible to sub- st1tute the shot for silver dollars. It is impossible at this time to tell how exten- sive the robbery has been.
 The loss was first brought to the atten- tion of Acting Secretary Thompson on Wednesday morning. the day after the election, and he put the detectives to work on the case. Investigation showed that small amounts had been taken from each of number of boxes. Tns department will probably hold that the express com- pany Is responsible, but it will take some time to learn the extent of the loss. The robbery was discovered when the seals of the boxes were examined It was found that instead Of the Government seal pu on at New Orleans the WAX bOr the impression Of q silver q quafter, the original seal had been broken, the money abstracted, and this method of hiding the fraud had been resorted to. Mr Bell. chief Of the secret service believes that the thieFing was done after the boxes left the mint, and before they were delivered at the Treasury Department He says that the express company is responsible: that if the official clerks doing up the packages had done the stealing they would certainly have used the Govern ment seal to fasten the boxes again

h CHEW AT LAST.
The Inquest Into the Last WhitcehaueE Murder Develops a tiew which. ritougta Faint, May Lead to the Disc very af the Butcher.

Butcher.
 LONDON, Nov f4-Fha hopes Of the po- lice of catching the Nhltechapel mur derer, which had almost entirely died out, Were raised to the acme of buoyancy yesterday i'll consequences of testimony at the Kelly inquest Of George Hutchin- son, q groom. who had known the victim for some years and who saw her with a male companion shortly before two o'clock on the morning Of the murder. Hutchinson testified that he saw q we'll dressed man with a Jewish cast of coun- tenance accost the woman on the street at the hour mentioned on Friday morn ing and the crcums stance of his ac- quaintance with hor induced him to fo- low the pair as they walk Il together. He looked straight into the muu's face as he turned t0 accompany the woman,= and followed them to Miller court out of mere curiosity. He had no thought of the previous murders, and certainly had no spicion that the man contemplated violence, since his conspicuous manifes- tations Of affection for his companion as they walked along formed a large part of the incentive to keep them in sight. After the conple entered the house Hutchinson heard sounds of merriment in the girls room and remained at the entrance to the court for fully three quarters of an hour. About three o'clock the sounds ceased and he walk ed iato the court, but finding that the light in the room had been extinguished he went home. During the hour occupied i'll Stand- ing at tue entrance to- or promenad- ing the court, he did not see q policeman. There is every reason to be- lieve Hatchinson's statement, and the police place great reliance upon his de- scription of the man, believing that it will enable them to run him down. The witness who testified Monday to having seen the woman enter the house with man with a blotched face was evidently mistaken as to the night, his descrip- tiOn of her companion is totally unlike that of Hutchinson in every particular. The bulk of the evidence taken fixes the time of the murder at between half past three and four o'clock. It transpired yesterday that in addition to the faclal muilation of the murdered woman, the uterus was wholly and skillfully removed and laid in a corner of the bed.
 LONDON, Nov. 1.-The police consider they are on the track of the WhitechapeI murderer. Two witnesses at the inquest yesterday described the appearance of the man seen going into the house with the Kelly woman shortly before the kill. ing, the descriptions being almost iden- tical.

Popular Excitement Again Aroused by
 the Finding of Another Body.

LONDON, Nov. 14-Popular excitement over the latest Whitechapel murder re- ceiyed an additional impetus to day by the finding of woman's body floating in the Thames. The body was well dressed, and the police are uncertain whether to account for the wom- ans death by murder or sui eide. There is as yet absolutely no clew. The wards adjacent to where the body was taken from the river have been searched by the DO lice, and one rough-looking fellow carrying large ie-knife, has been arrested. He will probably be discharged, however, us there is no evidence against hlm.

PARIS, August 8-The funeral Of
General Endes, ex-Communist, who
dropped dead while addressing strikers

thousand people gathered in the streets
adjacent to the house; thousands lined
the route &c the cemetery, along which
cavalry were stationed. Other troops
were held in the barracks for an mer-
gency. Traffic in the streets through
wh'oa the cortege passed was sus
pended AMI stores were closed.
Fifteen thousand persons marched in
front OF the hearse bearing the re-
mains. They wore bouquets of red i'm
mortellea. Basly, member of the
Chamber OF Deputies, WAS present. He
and RoChefort were greeted with cheers
and shouts OF give la revolution" and
"Vive Ia commune" The pail bearers
were members of the commune of II.
Louise Michel marched after the hearse,
A brigade of police headed the process
sion. Large bodies of workmen and
strikers followed quietly after. The
walters and hair dressers in the Iiue
were noisier aud demanded REQ flags,
which were carried covered. but I'M
furled. Crowds along the route shouted
'vive la commune" as the hearse
passed. When the procession reached

were unfurled. The Conmissary of

him quite severely. The police were
powerless before the menacing attitude
of the mob. The gen d arms made a

bomb thrown close to tbs Police station
but the bomb did not explode. A
reserve force of police left the station

tiOn." At the conclusion Of the orations
the gathering dispersed. The police did
not oppose the display of red flags in

George A. Smith, of Salt Lake City.
is young man well and favorably
known throughout Utah. He has beer
troubled with bad case of cross-eyes
all his life. Several years ago he mac
sn operation performed by an oculist,
but it was not successful and did NO
good, consequently his faith was very
much shaken about its ever being made
straight. But at the Continental Hote
on Monday OF this week, DR.. Prentice
made it straight ia less than half 6
minute. Mr.. Smith is delighted with
the result and his many friends
astonishei. Mr.. Smith said it caused
him practically no pain.

DR.. Prentice.

DR.. Prentice came to Salt Lake CITY
several months ago total stranger to
most OF the Inhabitants of Utah, but
his remarkable success in curing what
ever he undertakes has made his name
familiar in almost every household. Al
first he was to stop In Salt Lake City
one month, but at the expiration OF
that time his business was 80 Isrgs thai
he prolonged his stay. When the TING
of his postponement expired his bust,
ness had grown TO such mammoth pro-
portions that he was obliged to agair
extend his stay. DR.. Prentice is sur
prise to a great many people, as he tells
his patients truth. All cases that he
thinks he can not cure he tells them SO
and daily turns many away with the
assurance that their cases are hopeless.
and in those cases In which he prom
ises q cure he always succeeds. So
again DR.. Prentice has extended his
stay until August 10th.
