A PostofHce Clerk Imprisons Cashier
and Robs the Bank.
WATERTowN, n. Y, March 1l.-One Of
the boldest bank robberies that has occurred
in this section of the State in many years
surprised the people of Norwood, St. Law
renee county, Saturday.
F. L. Smith, cashier of the Norwood
Bank. was alone in the building about
noon. when Charles Phelps, the postofice
clerk, entered and asked ior some stamps.
Mr.. Smith stepped into the vsult TO get
them, when Phelps quietly closed the door
and turned the combination, locking the
cashier in. The robber then turned to the
money drawer and took all the paper
money itcontsined-S27S-leavingseveral it
hundred dollars in silver. The amount In
the money drawer is ordinarily much
aver on Saturday, but business had been
Gght that day, and the robbers booty WAS
probably not nearly as large as he had ex-
pected.
Phalps had a horse ready, and with it he
s,orted at opca for the Canadian border,
about fifteen miles distant. Meanwhile
customer entered the bank and saw what
had happened. He heard the cashier call
ING TO him from the vault, and, being in
stTucted as to the combination, released
him. Prompt action was taken to prevent
Phelps crossing the border, but nothing
VAS heard of the rObher until the mid
NIGHT train arrived, and he was discovered
IS one of the passengers he had gone by
circnitous route TO Brasher Falls, and
had taken the train there, hoping to ride
through Norwood at midnight without be-
ing detected, and then go on TO Ogdens-
burg. where he could easily cross into
Cahada. But parties on the train who
knew him had learned of the robbery and
upon arriving at Norwood he was delivered
over to officers.
About eleven dollars of the amount
stolen was found on Phelps psrson. He
was kent in charge of two officers over Sun
day and was taken to Canton Jail to-day to
await the action of the grand jury, which
meets in June. Phelps is q young man,
native of Norwood. He has fallen into bad
habits of late and is said to have become
an opium eater.

Inauguration of the weavers' Strike for an

Inauguration of the Weavers' Strike for an
Advance of Wages
FALL RIVER, MASS, March 1.-THE
weavera' strike for an advance in wages
which occurred this morning, is one of the
most general in the history oflabor troubles
here.
The weaving departments o. fifty mills
are practically shut down and &, 600 weavers
are idle. These who refused 20 strike do
not number more than half enough 10 keep
one mill going.
The extent of the strike is quite a surprise
to the managers, who expected that only a
few mills would be involved. They thought
the help would be 20 much divided as to
the wisdom of a strike at present that this
circumstance would disorganize the move
ment in a few days. The operatives are
very much pleased at the unanimous senti-
ment OF resstercs displayed and predict
an early victory. They clsim that they can
afford TO maintain the strike for several
weeks
1t is the impression that the manuiact-
urers can give an advance at present prices
for cloth. and can i'll afford to curtail pro-
duction for even a short period. The Board
of Trade say 8, however, that no advance
will be gwen, aud bitter struggle ID an

The President Sends Important Nomlna
tions to the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Presi'
dent sent the following nominations to
the Senate to-day:
Thomas w. Palmer, of Michigan, TO be
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary OF the United States to Spain.
John f. Swift, Of California, to be En-
voy Extraordinary and Minister PleDipo-
tentiary of the United States to Japan.
John D. Washburn, Of Massachusetts,
to Se Minister Besident and Consul Cen
ersl of the United States to Switzerland
George @. TichenOr, of Illinois, to be
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury, vice
Isaac II. Maynard resigned.
In the executive session of the Senate
the nominations we've ordered referred to
the appropriate committees when formed.
There were some surprises expressed at the
failure to confirm Senator Palmer g nom
ination at once, but a Senator explained
that the rule of immediate contirmations,
save of the Cabinet, was confined to Sen
ators. Mr.. Palmer is not now Senator,
and while every Senator, it is said, wanted
10 vote for him, il was deemed best not to
depart from the rule, and his nomination
went with the rest.

Capital News.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-President
Harrison has already mapped out policy
for his administration to follow, respecting
Civil Service reform, and in addition to
what he had to lay on the subject in his
inaugural address. The following points
from an interview had with him by party
of COngressmen, who called upon him are
significant and interesting. The visitors
mad presented the claims of certain indi-
viduals of their choice for appointments:
"I have," taid the President, deter
mined to live up TO the plank relating
thereto in the Republican National plat
form and shall select men to oil the Offices
from among the Territories themselves
where fit persons may be found.
The attention of the President was
called to the alleged inefficiency exhibited
in the railway mail service bec use Of the
discharge of old employees to make places
for men protected by an order promulgated
placing the service under the provisions OF
the Civil Service rule.
81 shan't revoke that ORDER" said the
President emphatically, "but l shall
modify it somewhat"
This remark he repeated. 81 shall, s"
he continued, "hsve the rule touching re-
instatemenis changed where il is specified
that dismissed emplOye may be restored
within one year. I shall have the words,
within one year" stricken out"
On the subject of removals from the
general classified service, President Harri-
son said: 81 have told some of my mug
wump friends that believe the provision
relating to removals should be changed so
that cause would not need 10 bespeciiied.
| would not have q man removed simply
because he belonged to one political party
or the other, and there should be good and
substantial reasons for the dismissal Of
clerks aud officials generally, but l hold
that it is not necessary that the cause
should be specified or given III all cases.
There might be reasons for following
contrary course and withholding inf0rma-
ton
Respecting appointments generally, the
President said he should follow the sug-
gestiOus of Senators and Representatives,
the men chOsen by the people to repre-
sent their wishes, and he expected those
gentlemen to be conscientious in the mat
ter and recommend only good men for
office. The President, in conclusion,
urged his visitors to 20 slowly and not
press too hard for the removal of the pres
emit iucumbents of offices He said in eff
feet that he wanted to be sure he was
right in every case, then he would go
ahead. -

The following special is taken from yester-
DAYS edition. 1t Is supposed to outline
Prssident Harrison's policy toward the
south. and no comment is needed to show
the narrow-miuded paItisanship that pre-
wallis through it,
BY SPECIAL WIRE FROM THE BUREAU
OF THE COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 10.-Gen.
Hsrrison's Southern policy Is being toImu-
lated every day. The State which is doing
most lo have him declare himself is west
Virginia. With its three aspirants for
Governor and its contested seats IN Con
eress, it has been brought to his attention
several times during the past week. Yes
terday ne took decisive action, and to-day
every Democrat in the South may know
wha, to expect of this administration. HIS
policy is a vigorous one.
The first move came yesterday when he
directed Attorney General Miller to wire
United States District Attorney Q. O..
Watts, of West Virginia, asking for his
resignation. If the resignation Is not re-
ceivoi either by mail or telegraph to-mor-
row morning no 10 o'clock Mr.. Watts will
be summsriiy removed. Mr. Watts has
been Attorney General Of West Virginia
under one of its partisan Governors and
served In the Confederate army. Ii IS
likely that he will rot resign.
SUGGESTED BY LEADING BooDLERs
The change was made at the suggestion
of the leading Republicans from that State.
Chairman C0wden, together with Hon.
Mr.. Atkinson and Maj. McGinnis, of the
Th'rd district. called on President Harm
son Yesterday morning Gen. Got was TO
have met them, but was detained in West
Virginia. Col. Scott, q State member OF
the Republican National Committee, was
also tslegraphed TO be on hand. 1t was
the intention of these people to bring all
The influence possible 10 bear on President
Harrison TO have some of The Federal
offices in that State filed by Republicans.
1t was found that influence was un-
necessary. The gentlemen, headed by
Mr.. Cowden, made a plain statement OF
the case and Attorney General Miller was
ordeged to telegraph for the resignation Of
Attorney Watts. Il was all done so
quickly that Col. Scott was surprised when
he arrived in the city last night to find
/ that President Harrison had made his FIRST
| aggressive movement on Federal offices oi
/ the South and proposed to Gil them al
once, where necessary, with loyal and
stanch Republicans.
THEY WE'RE IN a TREMENDOUS HURRY
The only thing that worries the gentle
men from West Virginia is the fact thaI
the President was courteous enough 20 ash

unspasing use has been made of power il
