Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch. !
BOsToN, Aug. 2.-Ten thousand or more
5oston spinsters, young, middle aged and
aged, grass widows, fair Divorces and
Torn females generally felt their breasts
dutter yesterday with an indescrib
able sentiment From the far northwest,
from pushing hustling Washington terri
tory, came some good news. 1t was an offer
of marriage for each individual Massachu-
sets female who has been pining for the
coming of some nice young man who would
cain her. The offer came through Mayor
Hart in the shape of a letter sent by Mayor
~. A Wheelwright, of Tacoma, in whichit
= stated that the territory of Washington,
and Tacoma in particular, is filed with
sober, industrious, enterprising young men
who desire in the worst way to enter into
the matrimonial state, there being at pres
eat ten young men there to one young
woman.
This statement is followed with resolu-
tion that the mayor and common council of
che city of Tacoma appeal to the people of
Massachusetts to send all the women of
manageable age to that territory and city, |
nat can be conveniently spared, for the
purpose of making happy thousands of
lang men in the holy bonds of matrimOny |
Also resolution that this proclamation |
pc forwarded TO his honor, the mayor of |
Boston, with a request that he publish it |
broadcast throughout the land in the hope |
hat the newspapers viii print it once a |
week for at least three weeks.
Mayor Hart will make no reply to the |
above proclamation. Col Ernest, the
mayors secretary, doubts the authenticity
OF the proclamation and thinks it a prac-
teal joke. Joke or no joke the Boston sec
ton of the unmarried female population of
Massachusetts, is exceedingly exercised. The
state has surplus of females amounting
to $4,000, of which number at least 50 per
cent. are unmarried, and with no prospect
Of a chance to get married. If Mayor Hart |
doesn't answer the appeal it is certain that
many of the marriageable females here
will answer it.

MARKETS FOR AMERICAN GRAIN.
Consul Way of st. Petersburg, on the Export

! WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug 1.-The state

report upon Russian agriculture and the
cereal trade from United States Consul
General Way, at St Petersburg. He saws
that the export of cereals from Russia in

nous crops gathered from both the black

pfeclatlon OF the paper rouble, and 3-The
foolish practice of systems of corners in the
United States.

A Bold Diamond Robberv

KANSAS CRY, Aug. AT 80 this after
noon well-dressed young man entered
the lewelry store of F. G. Altman, in the
heart of the business centre of the city, and
asked to see some diamonds. A tray con
tanning large number of set stones was
placed on the counter before him, and after
examination he grabbed a handful and
bolted through the door and attempted to
mount saddle horse which he had left in
front OF the store. Before he could mount

but large revolver in the thief's hands
caused him to be somewhat diffident about
holding him. The thief ran down the
street, followed by large crowd, but after
short distance had been covered he
turned and flourished his revolver in such
a threatening manner that most of his
pursuers gave up the chase. The bold
robber dashed into a saloon, snatched hat
from one of the inmates to replace his.

The Washington TERRITORY convention.

OLYMPIA, Aug. 2.-The section in the
article on corporations requiring foreign
corporations doing business here to have
their books in the state with a complete
record of their business transactions open
to inspection, was defeated this afternoon
by large vote. Another section provid-
ing for an elective board of railway com
mlssloners who shall have absolute control
OF all transportations was the subject of an
animated debate and it appears likely that
1t will be defeated, as petitions from many
boards of trade and city councils are pour
ing in against it. A number of other sec
tons in the article on corporations were
adopted. The state is forbidden to loan
its credit or own any corporation stock.
The section on banking is said to be almost
an exact counterpart of the federal law on
the subject. In part, the railroad section
was practically the same as the interstate
long and short haul clause.

Teller serhnld Cnnfesses

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug 2-Harry
Seybold, teller of the bank of Wheeling
who, With George Hennig, another en-
ployee, was arrested last night charged
with embezzling the funds of the bank,
made full confession this morning. He
exonerated Hennig. He took the money
on May 10 last. The package contained
S24, 900 cash and was removed from the
vault to Seybold's home. There he kept it
until June, when he deposited 1000 in
various banks to the joint credit of himself
and Hennig, telling all who asked about it
that they won the money in the Louisiana
lottery. To Hennig he said he borrowed
the money and intended to buy gold mine
with it. About fourteen thousand dollars
of the money has been recovered and
to about like amount has been
so that the bank is amply pro
tected.
Harry Seybold was released on bail this
afternoon. 1t is certain that Henning is
entirely innocent of any criminal connec-
ton with the theft, he having been persu-
AIDED by Seybold to believe the money had
been drawn from the Louisiana lottery.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 2.-The Citizen, the
organ of government here, which hitherto
has been silent on the Behring sea ques
ton to-day says in the editorial column
IL the present government at Washington
fails to bring about serious complications
between the imperial government and the
United States, it will not be because no
effort has been put forth to produce so unde-
sirable result
''The truth is that statesmen of the cali
bre of Webster and Clay do not now reach
maturity in the southern portion of this
cantinent. Peddling politicians, seeking
after notoriety, professors of brag and
duplicity appear to have monopolized all
the places of Importance and are now in
tent upon forcing issues with country
whose people are rapidly learning to dis
pise them, not to fear them.
1.-THE recent shameful act of piracy COM
mitted upon Canadian vessel in Behriug
sea is absolutely unjustifiable, and has only
one redeeming feature, namely, that it will
bring the whole question under considera-
tion and the Washington authorities will
be obliged to apologize as well as recoup
the owners of vessels they interfere with
If this is not done, what is left of the
Yankee naval effects will probably dis
appear from more seas than Behring.'

Newman went to jail he wore only a well

| On Monday he received a telegram from
| his mother on the strength of which he had
his erstWhile full beard shaved off in the
middle so that now he has a luxuriant pair
of side whiskers such as befit a million

uncle Albert, who used to live in San
Francisco died July 10, and had left him
sole heir to his fortune
Newman was not notified sooner of his
good fortune because none of his other re
lations knew where he was. and the news
had TO come through his mother who
seems to have been the only one of the fam
lily who knew his whereabouts.
The telegram was handed Newman by

with his usual nonchalant air but as he
read the telegram his eyes opened wider his
face paled and his hands trembled so that
the telegram fell to the stone floor 'sNo
bad news, I hope" said one of his fellow
prisoners standing by. Newman silently
replied by picking up the telegram and
handing it to his questioner He read it !
and then passed it to one of the turnkeys
standing curiously by, who congratulated
Newman. For the next few minutes he |
was kept busy replying to the congratula- |
tons of the jail official. Then Newman |
went back to his cell, No. %, to think about |
the money. But Newman won't give his !
