Not Very White Trick,

Saturday afternoon young man rep
resenting himself as the son of George
Graybill. hired Il livery rig at Dohany's
stable to go Il few miles into the coun-
try. He drove to Omaha and offered to
sell the outfit for $l75. One of the
horses was recognized by a man named
Peterson, who put the police on the
track of the fellow. He was arrested
and gave the name of Frank White.
which proves to be his correct name.
Mr.. Dohany was notified of the occur
renee and he sent Mr.. James Brooks
after the team and man. White con
sented to return to Iowa soil, and was
accordingly brought back here yester-
day afternoon and lodged in the county
Jail. officer Ward, of the Omoh force,
was detailed by Chief Seavey to bring
the fellow across. The team was re-
covered intact. The prisoner has a
hard reputation and is accused of being
engaged in similar transaction on a
former occasion with II team belonging
to M. Weatherbec. White will have
his preliminary examination to-day but
will not have to wait long for the grand
jury. His little trick will cost him q
term in the pen.

A Traveller Tapped the Till.

The till of Hugh McDonald's fruit
stand, 402t Broadway, was robbed yes
terday noon while the proprietor was
at dinner. During the forenoon we'll
dressed stranger went in there and sat
down, and said that he was New York
travelling man, but was dead broke"
having been boozing considerably since
arriving in the city week before. He
said he had several trunks at the Bech-
tele, which statement was untrue.
Hugh sympathized with him, and left
him there when he went to dinner.
The stand was in charge of little boy
who clerks there and who had the key
to the cash drawer.
A small sale was made and the clerk
received peculiarly marked dime. He
put it in the drawer after examining 1T
closely out of curiosity, and then stepped
outside to make another sale, leaving
the key in the drawer. Shortly after
ward the drummer came out, took
cigar from the showcase and handed the
boy a dime, with the remark, That's
all right" The clerk was astOnished
to see the same sdime he had placed in
| the drawer few moments before and
| rushed inside to find the till empty.
Shortly atterWard the proprietor came
back, and the clerk said he would
find the fellow. He ran across him
| at the Ogden livery, where he
was waiting to have a team hitched up.
| The boy told him that his employer
wanted to see him. He said he would
drive down Immediately, and crossed
| the street to 'get drink" That was
| the last seen of him. He did not call
for the team. Investigation shows that
| the alleged thief is H. r. James, a
| travelling man who has been running in
here every thirty or sixty days for the
| last eight years. He has been selling
| laces and dry goods for Chicago house.
| He was bounced from the Ogden house
| a week ago, and went to the Bechtele,
where he claimed to be waiting for a
draft from New York. He borrowed a
few dollars from the clerk of the Bech
tele, James McDermott, who is that
much out on account of it. He is we'll
known here, and no one suspected that
he would be guilty of such an act. He
is fine appearing young man, and his
| former conduct here has been above re-
proach. 1t is supposed that he saw no
means of liquldating his Indebtedness,
and stopped to petit larceny, in order to
get the necessary with which to get
away from here. The police were on
his track all dav, but he managed to
avoid them.

Theodore Lund, a we'll known resident
of this city for a number of years, re-
turned yesterday from u visit to his
relatives and friends in Germany. He
left here last February to revisit the
scenes of his childhood, after an alb
sence Of eighteen years. He found his
people enjoying the best OF health, and
enjoyed to the fullest extent his six
months stay with them. His trip has
done him great deal of good, and in
creased his weight by twenty pounds or
more. His many friends are glad TO
welcome him home again, and congrat-
ulate him on his safe return.

made the commandments OF God OF no
effect. There is truth enough in her
creed to save every sinner. The
speaker referred to notable examples OF
this fact, names made immortal by thei
connection of good deeds and heroic
lives.
The other elements of strength noted
by the speaker are: The devotion of
the church to art and the esthetical
part OF nature. Its extraordinary Or
ganization. Her use of every talent in
the church. Her relation to political
parties and her nexibility, or her power
to adjust herself to new conditions of
society. She is castiron in her creed,
so that here she never changes, but
she has such power Of adaptation that
she fits herself to various conditions Of
society and forms of government. She
is very different here in the United
States from what she is in Italy aud
Spain. Different in England and Ger
many from what she is in Austria and
Portugal. In one country she is the
friend of education and learning: in
another an enemy of the same. In one
country she circulates the bible; in an
other she represses it. In one country
she advocates the largest liberty of con-
science and freedom from all interfer-
ence by government in matters of re-
ligion: in another she calls upon the
state to suppress all dissent from the
most severe measures.
This sermon will be followed soon by
one upon the weakness of Romanism, .
thus giving both sides of this question
as reviewed from the position occupied
by this reverend gentleman.

SAN Francisco, December 22.-Presi-
dent Fuida, of the California Athletic
Club, received letter from Tommy
Warren, who is now in Los Angeles, to-
day, stating that he would fight Ike Weir
at 116 pounds weight for 81 900 or 81 500
a side and the club purse. He also sig
nified his willingness to meet Weir for
the purse alone.
A contract was formed tonight be-
tween the Board of Directors Of the Cali
tornia Athletic Club and Barney Farley,
trainer and backer of Joe McAuliffe, the
Pacific Coast champion, by which the
club agreed that it would, in the event of
finding suitable man, offer purse of
$4,000 for such man for McAuliffe to
fight, the match to come Oft within five
months from January 1st.
The Club extends the same privilege
to Peter Jackson, colored champion from
Australia, in the event of his winning in
his match with McAuliffe next Friday.
Farley deposited $1,000 as earnest Of
good faith on the part of McAuliffe, but
should the club fail to find suitable
man to face McAuliffe within two
months, Farley's deposit will be re-
funded.

SAN Francisco, December 22.-The
administration of the estate of Thos. H.
Blythe is having printed large number
OF copies of the inventory and appraise-
ment of the estate originally made in
November, 1888. This action is neces-
sary in view of the fact that the bulky
record was falling to pieces under the
frequent use of numerous claimants.
The Mexican assets of nearly half q
million have been lost owing to the want
of jurisdiction of our courts to conserve
the same. This, he thought, will be
more than made up for by unappraised
property on Trinity river, where there
are hydraulic mines covering many miles
in area. Real estate in San Francisco is
estimated at $1,7l8, 900; Blue Jacket, in
the State of Nevada, was put at $50, 900,
and San Diego desert lands improve
ments and stores were put at $154 1000.

For she Relief of Emin and Supprcs.
sing the Slave Trade.

BERLIN, December 22-The committee
of the Emin Relief Association give more
credence to the reported arrival of Stan
ley on the Aruwhimi than they did to
Osman Digna's story of Emin's capture.
But they have decided to continue the
preparation for sending out the Wiss-
mann expedition for Emin's relief until
the news is verified. The departure of
Lieutenant Wissman will now be re-
tarded until early in February. Although
the release Of Emin will be the one OBJ
ject of the expedition, it will also act in
support of the slave operations
on his return from the interior 1t
will be proposed in the Reichstag
that part of the money voted by the bill
shall be used for raising force of colo
nial troops, even if it happens that Emin
is safe. In the discussion of the route to
be taken and the number of men COM
posing the expedition letter from Car
dinal Levigierie, at Brussels, states that
5000 troops marching through the Ger
man territory by way of Unyanyembe to
Ujijo, on Lake Tangany Ika, could crush
the slave trade and disarm and forever
disable the Arab slave merchants.

LONDON, December 22.-In the House
of Lords last night, the Earl of Dun
raven, speaking on the Sackville Incl
dent, said: "Surely it would have beer
more dignifed on our part and more
worthy Of our position to have taken nj
notice of matter which, as the Prime
Minister early remarked. is no matter
affecting the two nations. In the case O
some foreign powers different consid
GRAFTON would again affect us, but oul
relations with the United States are
peculiar. We use the word foreign
toward them because there is no othe,
suitable expression, but I am loath te
use the term toward the great Re-
public. The United States is, dip
lomatically speaking, foreign power,
but she can never be a foreign land to us.
Her citizens are mainly men of the same
race and lineage as ourselves, having the
same names, speaking the same tongue,
worshipping under the same forms of
religion and living under the same COM
mon law. Their institutions, though
differing, are very similar in their integ-
raj respects to our own, and are founded
on the same love of liberty and law and
capacity for self-government. 1t is i'm
possible to look upon such people as
foreigners, though one is obliged to
speak of their country as foreign
power. OF all civilized nations we alone
can un derstand the United States, and she
alone can understand us in respect to
difficulties inseparable from system of
party government. Any misunderstand-
ing arising between us would be held to
be most deplorable by vast majority of
all thinking men on both sides of the
Atlantic. l fear that speaking of the cir
cumstances as belonging to the history
OF electioneering may have had an irri-
tating effect upon public opinion in
America. Be that as it may, it il certain
that any longer delay in filling up Lord
Sackville's place is liable to be misun-
derstood by the American people.
/ hold it to be our first duty
to avoid the possibility of anything
that may lead to want Of sincere friend
ship between this, the mother country,
and her colonies, and after that con-
slider it our duty to avoid any such posi-
bilities between the United States and
ourselves. Before long another Minister
will be accredited to the Court of St.
James. If we hesitate and delay to ac-
credit a Minister at Washington, the
United States may retaliate by delaying
to accredit Minister to us. Two great
international questions are awaiting So
luton. The Fisheries and Extradition,
and these we cannot hope to settle except
under conditions of real friendship be-
tween the two countries.

from the rear-guard on the Aruwhimi,
and was arranging to send a strong de-
tachment in search OF them along the
route which he himself had followed.
Stanley also again urged Emin to leave
Wadelai with him and regain the coast.
Stanley sent out several couriers with
news for Europe. One was the courier
who was sent by the foreign consuls at
Zanzibar to appraise Emin of the depart
ure of the relief expedition. This courier
had remained at Wadelai and was sent
back to the elbt coast after Stanley. An.
other courier was sent in the direction OF

and Emin.
ZANZIBAR, December % One of the
special messengers sent into the interior
in October in the hope of obtaining news s
of Emin and Stanley from the caravans,
has sent dispatch announcing that he
met Arab traders from Wadelai, who
positively affirm that Stanley met Emin
there about January 20th. Stanley, they
said, had thirty-three men and plenty of
stores. He had endured great priva-
tions, but he and all his party were
we'll, although extremely exhausted.
The delay in reaching Wadelai was due
to difficulties encountered on the route.
Emin was in fairly good position, al
though some of his Egyptian officers
were grumbling and many of his soldiers
had deserted. The Kings of Uganda and
Vpyaro were hostile to Emin, who was
obliged in November to repel depredatory
incursions from the East. A fortnight
after Stanley's arrival Emin received q
message from the Mahdi, pompously in
timating his intention to subdue
the whole country as far as the
great lake and promising good treat
ment if he submitted. Emin replied
that before evacuating he must wait
for the Mahdi to prove the legitimacy of
his claim to the province. Emin told
Stanley that he did not desire to leave
Wadelai. The entire route to the east
coast was most dangerous on account OF
the incessant agitation among the tribes
and the hostility OF Mwanga. Toward
the middle of April, hearing that a force
Of Mahdists was coming, Emin ordered
his advance posts between Dufile and
Lado to retire to Wadelai, and Stanley
sent messengers to the kings Of Uganda
and Uny aro. About the end of April
when the traders left Wadelai, Stanley
was anxious owing to the absence of newi

SAN FRANCISCO, December 22.-The
doors of the suspended California Ma

examination by the United States Bank
Commissioners is still in progress. A

doors on Monday has been abandoned,
