A BOLD ROBBER.
After Occurring His Booty, He Begs the
Cashiers Pardon.

Cashiers Pardon.
SAN DIEGO, July 16th.-A bold robbery
took place at the ticket Office of Coronado
ferry, on the other side of the bay, last
night about 10 o'clock, and the robber has
not been captured. Miss Louise Harrison
is the cashier, and was alone in the office.
Just after the motor train had carried a
load of passengers from the landing to the
big hotel, she suddenly looked up and
found pistol in her face, held by a man
with handkerchief over his face, and who
was in his stocking feet. He said he would
shoot her if she made sound, and then in
nervous manner went through the money
drawer. He only found about ninety
cents, however, failing to pull out the
drawer far enough to secure some thirty
or forty dollars in gold in the back COM
partment.
After cautioning the girl, ON pain of
death, against making any outcry, he dis
appeared in the darkness. All this time
the watchman had been sitting about fif-
teen feet from the girls desk, on the wharf
outside, and as he was notified of the oc-
currence he made search for the man, but
no trace of him could be found. The
robber begged the girls pardon before he
left, and said that he was out of money and
had nothing to eat for several days.

LONDON, July l6th.-A sensation was
created in the Peace Congress yesterday by
Sir h. de Burgh Lawson, who accepted the

sons, causing no little discomfort among
the clergymen and religious people pres

love our enemies. Now the first thing

CHICAGO, July l6th.-Edwin Rexham. an

tells the following story of the Chinese ex.

OF the Chinese army the Formosan sayages
fled to the hills, and that ended the cam

small body of select troops by the steamer.
leaving the rest to get back as best thew
could. Manv marched overland, and some
were sent in freight boats; with rations for
one day. They were out eight days, and
some thirty or forty starved to death.
and from 250 TO 800 died of fever. They
landed at the harbor of Auping, where the
most horrible scenes were enacted. Dying
men were strewn about the decks. The
Consul sent an appeal to Chen-Tai, who
responded by rendering grave.diggers.
These added to the horror of the situation.
According TO an old custom, when soldier
dies his officer draws burial expenses from
the Government, part of which goes to the
dead mans comrades. This burial money
was an incentive TO most horrible atroci-
ties by the grave-diggers. Ali the sick
who were supposed to be dying were hus-
tied into cotfins, and buried before their
bodies were cold 1t is said that soldiers
were seen forcing the lids of coffins down
on feeble victims who were pitiously call
ing for water. The coffin-lids were nailed
fast and the living men hurried away to
burial
