Reported Capture of the Man who Rar
Away with 81, 800, 900 of Securities.


Away with Sl,5OO,OOO of Securities.
NEW YoRE, Feb. 4.-The Daily Conti-
nent publishes the following;
The Pinlserton Detective agency in
this city had been informed by its agent
in the City of Mexico that the police had
arrested James ~ Henry, who is wanted
in Canada on the charge of robbing the
Bank of Montreal of cash and securities
amounting to 81 100000.
Henry's big haul was made on Dec.
13 last He was an exchange broker at
Chatham, Ont, and usually carried a
large amount of the banks securities.
On the above date he disappeared, and
an investigation showed that the theft
was one of the largest that ever oc-
CURED in Canada He was known to
have crossed the American border but
by the time the Pinkerton men were
notified he was probably in Mexican ter
ritory.
In the early part of January the Mex
ican authorities were notified of the rob-
berry and were given a full description
Of the stolen seer rities All khe banks
in that republic were also notified. In a
short time a stranger had arrived in the
City of Mexico and attempted to nego-
tiate certain securities with the agency
of London bank. They knew that the
securities We're part of those stolen from
the Bank of Montreal, and the latter in
stitution was advised Of Henry's where
abouts. Detectives were sent after him
and his arrest followed. The prisoner
will start for Canada this week

Nav Room Annexation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. Representative
Baker, of New York, who had the cor
respondence with Secretary Blaine on
Canadian reciprocity, has loaned the
original letters to The Toronto Globe
for the purpose of publishing fac sim
lies.
Representative Baker says he knew
the denial of Secretary Blaine would
create stir in Canada, and he wrote his
letter for the purpose of sending bomb
into the Canadian camp, which he has
watched with much interest.
He believes correct knowledge of
snch matters will assist very materially
the GROWING sentiment in Canada in
favor Of annexation, and open the eyes
of the Canadians to the falsity Of the
assurances of the people in power there.

SHREVEPORT, La, Feb. 4.--Homer,

the scene of intense excitement for the
past few days, On Saturday night
mob battered hole in the Jail, and six
men went through the passage to kill
Link Waggoner, the desperate recently
captured and placed there for safe keep
ing As soon as Link saw the six men
he began firing at them, having in his
possession two six-shooters, He shot
two OF the men in the arms, defied the
whole number and held them at bay
The mob was composed of gray-haired
men and strong young men, 1t seems
that Waggoner had not been placed III
cell, and did his shooting from the cor
ridor, dodging in different departments
In trying to pull open the door of fell
low-prisoner's cell, the latter caught the
door with one hand to keep him out,
when Waggoner drew knife and cut
off his fingers The sheriff says when
placed in Jail he was searched and no
weapons were found about him, and it
is supposed his friends furnished him
with arms. ''Spank" Waggoner, the
brother of Link, was sent back to the
penitentiary last Saturday, being an es-
capped convict.

nent Men of Savannah, Georgia.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 4. - William
Clifton, member of the state legislature
from this city, and John r. Dillon, tax
receiver of the county, are likely to fight
a duel.
The trouble grew out Of some remarks
by Dillon on Clifton's management of a
certain bill which he had in charge in
the legislature. Clifton wrote to Dillon
demanding a retraction, which the latter
did not notice.
Clifton then wrote to Dillon denounc-
ing him as a coward, and using the Ian
guage usual in haying an enemy. Dillon
read the letter and returned it to Clifton
advising him to read it over when he
got cool, This has enraged Clifton and
he swears he will have Dillon's scalp.
The people have taken sides in the con
troversy, and crowds meet each other as
though the fight of each principal was
their own, Both men are brave, and it
is more than lively that a personal en-
counter will take place on the streets if
they should meet.

w
Tackle Reciprocity.
TORONTO. Ont, Feb. 4.-The Empire,
the chief organ of the Dominion govern
ment, announces that acting on the ad-
vice of his ministers, his excellcncy. the
governor general. has pleased to dissolve
the house of commons and issue writs
for new parliament.
The nominations will take place on
Thursday, Feb. 26, and the polling ON
Thursday, March ). AS the reasons
which have induced the government to
appeal to the country at this time The
Empire gives the following:
"lt is understood that the Dominion
government has through her maje5ty's
government made certain proposals to
the United States for negotiations look
ing to the extension of our commerce
with that country. These proposals
have been submitted to the president
for his consideration and the Canadian
government is of the opinion that if
these negotiations are 10 result in a
treaty, which must be ratified by parlia-
ment, it is evident that the government
should be able to deal with parlia-
ment fresh from the people, rather than
with a moribund house,
at is understood that Canada will
send delegation to Washington after
March 4, the date on which the life of
the present congress expires. for the pur-
pose of discussing informally the ques-
tions of the extension and development
of trade between the United States and
Canada and the settlement of all ques-
tions of difference between the two
countries. This delegation will visit the

The Union of Canada With the
United States.
GoldWin Smiths Speech to the
Toronto Liberals.

He RidicuIes the Cry of DislOyalty at
Every Move of the Dominion Toward
That which is Sure to Transpire Sooner
or Later-CAnadians Far More Anxious
for it Than Americans.
TORONTO, Feb. AIN an address to
the Liberals Monday night, Goodwin
Smith said the manifest political destiny
of Canada was union with the United
States, and he Tidiculed the attempt to
make barrier of loyalty against the
current Of Canadas destiny. He said
the cry Of disloyalty had had a serious
effect in preventing fair consideration
of questions of vital Importance to
Canadians. Among other things he
said:
1--WE are d1sloyal it is said, and pro-
rose to enter into tariff arrangement
with the United States, and by entering
into such an agreement it is said we
would compromise the fiscal independ-
ence of Canada. OF course you cannot
make a treaty without surrendering to
that extent. But if q treaty is fair,
where is the dishonOr! Great Britain
will see at last that she has no real in
terest here but amity and trade. The
unity of the race and the immense ad-
vantage of a settlement which would
shut out war from this continent and
make it one economical whole, will pre-
vail. ] feel convinced, in the end.
"There might be danger and there
might be disloyalty in touching this
question. if there were on the part of
the Americans any disposition to ag-
gression. But there is none. The de
sire of Americans to bring Canada into
the Union at all has always appeared to
me to be very weak. 1t would be dis
loyalty to even think Of anything less
than equal and honored union, such as
that between England and Scotland.
But who does think Of ANYTHING elseE"
