A $1,000 ''bunco' robbery i'll
Allegheny, Pa, last August, operated
by well-known confidence man, named
Aldrich, and similar robbery in AL
bany. n. Y. month later, which was
manipulated by James Henderson,
alias "Biinkev." attracted little at
tention throughout the country at the
time. and il was believed that
besides the men mentioned other
well known criminals known as
Edward Post, alias Watson. and Tom
O'Brien were connected with the bust
ness. Aldricn was soon after arrested
i'm Windsor, Ont, by Detective Matt w.
Pinkerton. and eXtradited to Allegheny
on charge of forgery, the robbery be-
Ing done by means of a series of forged
checks. Henderson is still at Windsor.
ami is endeavoring to settle with the
Albany victim. and it is thought that
other members Of the gang aretrying by
circuitous route to get back into
the Eastern states, coming West
through the British Northwest terri
tory, down through Montana, and by
way of ST. Paul and Minneapolis. 1t
is also believed that more men are con-
nected with the gang than these men-
toned. a man registering as Edward
Hart passed through Winnipeg last
Thursday night and was spotted by
Chief of Police McRea as one
eluding the Winnipeg officers, however,
but was arrested on a telegram at Cal
gary, n. w. T., Thursday, having in his
possession about 800 in American cur
rency. Last Thursday two strangers
also registered at the Cosmopolitan
hotel at Helena, who were sized up by
Chief of Detectives Walters as Tom
Bingham and Charles Sanders, well
known confidence men, who came down
from Spokane Falls. "Tommy'' De-
vine a young crook ,, VINO tbs IS
men Post and Henderson, was
in st. Paul one day last week on
glorious drunk, but succeeded in skip
ping the town, going, it is believed, to
Chicago. The chances are that the
entire gang, if they are attempting to
gather again in the East, will be
rounded up 10y Northwestern detectives.

body was taken from the house at 10 o'clock
this morning and placed in the church.
where for three hours constant stream of

procession was the largest ever known
here.
Every civic society in the city, and MANY
from outside points, attended the funeral
Floral designs of great beauty and in great
profusion came from everywhere, that
given by the employees of the Constitution
being the most beautiful. The whole of
the Constitution staff walked in the process
sion as an honorary escort
Yesterday movement for fund for
monument was started, and before night

raised. A committee of young men having
the matter in charge, have issued an

coast got away to-day. The party will be
absent about two weeks. They will take
in Tao oma, Seattle, Olympia and Portland
as extremes, and Helena and Spokane
Falls as the principal intermediate points.
A similar excursion last year to Helena
was burdened with some outsiders, but
this one is comparatively free from
friends"
Attorney General Goodwin holds that all
persons engaged in the sale of Intoxicating
liquors are doing so in violation of the law,
and are liable to arrest and punishment
therefor and have been since the admis-
sion of the state to the union, all
licenses and license laws in force after
the adoption of the constitution
being repugnant to the prohibition
article, became ipsO fdctO, null and void,
and since that time there has been no au-
thority il the state for granting licences
for the sale of intoxicating liquors. AL
persons since the adoption of the constitu-
ton and the proclamation of the Presi-
dent having made any sales of intoxicating
liquor, or who may do so hereafter, are
liable to arrest and punishment. The pas
sage Of prohibition bill by the present
legislature has no bearing whatever upon
past or future offenses until it goes into
effect July l, 1890.

A Dynamite Bomb in the Jackson, Mich
igan, PrisOn-A New Comet.

PARIS, Dec. 25.-The Temps has an in
spired article on the position of the French
government with regard to the conversion
OF the Egyptian preference loan from a 3
per cent. to per cent. stock as proposed
early in the year by Sir Edgar Vincent.
The Temps reports that the government has
intimated to the British minister that il
will no longer insist upon the evacua-
ton of Egypt by England as a
condition its assent to conversion
of this portion of the Egyptian
debt, but may consent if England
initiates the process of evacuation by
withdrawing part of her troops, and if it
is agreed that the profit of the conversion
shall be applied to the purpose of strength
ening the Egyptian army. 1t has been
calculated that the saving to the Egyptian
treasury by this reduction, would be equal
to $500, 900 year, and this money spent
upon the Egyptian army would admit
OF an important reduction in the
effectiveness of the British army without
endangering any interest that the presence
of that army protects. AS the MARQUIS of
Salisbury has hitherto refused to negoti
ate, upon the ground that the military oc
cupation and debt were parts of the same
question, and as England claims a retire
ment of her troops will be followed by an
overrunning of Egypt from the Soudan.
the prospect for the acceptance of the
French proposition is not very promising.

has only been ten or twelve days since the
epidemic declared itself in this quarter.
At first it was very mild but now it is
complicated with other and more serious
complaints, especially bronchial trouble.
Six days ago we had hardly an order for a

dozen or more every day and the number

NEW LANDS TO THE NORTH.
Captain Leavitt Tells of Discovery far Abov

Captain Leavitt Tells of Discovery far Above
the Territory of Alaska.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. !
PORTLAND, Maine, Dec %. Captain
George Leavitt, of the whaling ship Shy,
of the Pacific Steam Whaling company, is
here visiting his mother, having recently
arrived from Alaska where he has been for
five years. He brings news of what may
possibly be the discovery of hitherto un-
known land many miles directly north of
Alaska Leavitt's winter quarters are at
Point Barrow. For same time, Leavitt
says, the natives of Northern Alaska and
in the small islands of that vicinity have
been telling stories of an unknown land to
the far north. Many older inhabitants
stoutly maintain that there is large land
north, that no white man has ever discov-
cred, and is not down on any of the maps
of the artlc region. Leavitt's story about
the discovery is that during a cruise of one
of the vessels of the whaling feet, which
ventured many miles further north than
any of the others few years ago, the Off
GERS discovered land not found on any of
the charts, or accounted for in any way
A gale drove the vessel far north along the
shore of the land, but the season was so
late the men did not stop to explore, desir-
ing to get south as soon as the gale sub
sided
