A Clever Bank Robbery.

LONDON, Sept. 22.-The banking world
of this city has just been startled by the
announcement that an important bank
robbery has taken place in the city
The institution that suffered is the
London and Westminster band nimitedy
No. Al, Lathbury f. c., an important
establishment having over fifty branch
houses in this city. The money stolen,
1t would appear, consisted of a large
parcel of bills RENTED from country
banks to the London and Westminster
bank.
The thief or thieves must have clever.
ly watched for a proper opportunity to
accomplish the robbery and to have
gained access to an apartment near the
main entrance of the bank. This apart
ment was easy of access from the street
and the parcel of bills is supposed to
have been stolen while the bank officials
were busily engaged in another apart
ment in going over the accounts of the
last weeks settlement.
Both William Astletown, mage of
the bank, and H. +. Billinghurst, the
country manager, decline to make any
statement for publication as to the act
ual loss incurred, but it is currently re.
ported the amount stolen is not less than
S75o,OOO, and many place the amount as
much as ~Sl,25O,OOO. The bank officers.
city police authorities, and criminal es-
tlmation department of Scotland yard
are putting forth their utmost exertions
in order to effect the capture of the
thieves.
Notice of the robbery has been sent to
the police centres throughout the Brit
ish isles and on the continent and the
sailing OF every passenger vessel is being
watched. Notice Of the robbery has al
so been sent to all banks upon which
bills were drawn but the police theory is
that no attempt will be made to change
these bills in this country, but that the
thieves will have resource to the cont.
nent where the presence of so many
wealthy travellers from England and the
United States make such transactions
easier than in this country.

point with him a second committee, and
in this instance Rev. William Nettstrae.
ter of Chicago was the sue
cessful candidate. Newark, N. j..
Milwaukee and st. Louis were proposed
as cities, at n of which the meeting
may be held, provided the local bishop
and clergy are favorable or do not OBJ.
ject. 1t is said the suggestion was made
that the place selected be st. Paul, Min
nesota, Notwithstanding it is the cathed-
raj city of Archbishop Ireland, popularity
supposed to be the bitterest enemy OF
the verein.
Authority in matter on the part of the
verein rests mainly with the committee
men who usually canvass the matter
' considerably. Naturally the greatest in
terest is now felt as to whether the
verein will, so to speak, proceed to beard
the right reverend lion in his den.
A fine spread, at which Archbishop
Katzcr, Bishop Otto Zardetti, Bishop
Wigger and some 200 German priests
participated, closed the congress.
Before the members of the verein took
trains homeward a number of priests
were questioned specifically as to wheth-
er at any time during their deliberations
in Buffalo any discussion or action was
had looking to the capture of the vacant
] bishoprics of Cleveland, Ohio, and Green
Bay, Wisconsin. for German-speaking
ecclesiastics. All denied it emphatically
and secuted the idea of such a procedure
on their part as absurd.
The greatest surprise connected with
the meeting of the German-American
clerical union IN this city came out to-
night. The sensation was caused by the
leaking out of the fact hat Herr Ca
hensly's personal representative has been
present in the the city throughout the
weeks deliberations from start to finish
and was only prevented at the last mo-
ment from making the opening address
OF the congress. DIR. HOelscher and
Father Heiter, leading priests on the
committee of arrangements, were the
ones who it is understood at the confer
ence in the Genesee hotel Monday made
plain to Herr Cahensly's envoy the in
tolerable position in which the clerical
union and congress would be placed by
him in the event of such a connection
between them being publicly established.
A full text of the speech that was thus
suppressed was tonight secured by the
Associated Press. Paul Maria Raum-
garten is the full name of the envoy, and
Cahensly's plan, as far as known to the
public, has been to secure what would
amount to a German-American hierarchy
in America, Independent of the present
Catholic bishops, whose authority would
thus be relegated to affairs of the non
German speaking Catholic population.
Failing in this, vacancies occurring in
the hierarchy of the United States were
to be filled to the greatest extent posi-
BILE by German ecclesiastics.

Langston City, the new colony, and from

GUTHRIE, Okla, Sept. @.-RObertson,
a photographer, who is just in says:
"'Two negroes were killed at Langston
about a mile south of the town. One
was dead when / reached there and the
other died soon after"
1t is reported by Lee Whistler, treas
urer of the Sac and Fox nation. who
just arrived here in company with Joe
Springer, another Indian, that they were
passed on the road sixteen miles east by
the Dalton boys this afternoon. 1t is
feared that they arc planning to attack
the town.
The story of every arrival from Lang
ston agrees that there has been no riot
ing between negroes and cowboys. The
nearest approach to bloodshed occurred
when ex-Auditor McCabe of Kansas, the
founder of the negro colony at Lang
ston, started for Guthrie through the
Iowa lands. He was met by three men
who ordered him to go back whence he
came. He declined and they opened fire
ON him. One shot struck the pommel of
his saddle, and, being unaided, he fled
back to Langston and from there came
to Guthrie. All arrivals from Langston
confirm the report that two negroes were
killed in the new lands south of the col
ony, but no one seems to know how.

BUFFALO, Sept. %. 49, Archbishop
Katzer of Milwaukee whose ecclesiastical
promotion in America is justly or unjust
ly asserted to have been aided by the
present German emperor's ambassador
at Rome was the dignitary who today
formally opened the German-American
Catholic congress as the celebrant of
pontifical high mass. 1t was the same
exalted ecclesiastic at whose installment
in Office a few weeks ago in Milwaukee
Cardinal Gibbons startled the multitude
by invoking voc upon the individual,
whoever he might be, that should bring
dissension into the hierarchy of America.
The surroundings of today's cere-
monial were no less than the celebrant.
Next to the archbishop at the altar and
acting as deacon of the mass was the
chief officer Of the celebrated "Priester
Verein' of the German-American cleri-
cal union, Vicar General Muchlseipen of
st. Louis. Father Tappert of Cincinnati,
organizer of the Verein, sat within the
sanctuary close to such popularity re-

THE SITUATION AT GUTHRIE.
The Mad Rush for Land Co~ntinues-EN-
citing Scenes.

lHe 4hdu IkuSn IOT laDu CONTINUES I'm
citing Scenes.
GUTHRIE. o. r.. Sept. 23.-The excite.
ment here is subsiding. In front of the
land office there is a large crowd waiting
to file claims. Fully 1000 people were
in line when the Office was opened this
morning and when the door was opened
the crowd made a rush and for a while ii
looked as if there would be a riot. Sew
eral men were showed off the small porch
leading to the door and i~nstanter many
revolvers flashed in the air. The police,
however, took a hand and prevented
further disturbance. This evening Mayor
Spangler will station an officer at the
door of the land office who will issue
numbered tickets to those who desire to
file and the numbers of these tickets will
be called out and in this way further
camping out all night in front of the
office will be avoided.
In the train which came in last night
about $50 more people arrived. The
conductor said all roads leading to this
city were filled with wagons, horsemen
and pedestrians headed this way. The
report circulated last night that several
persons were killed yesterday cannot be
verified today. There was some trouble
at an Iowa village over a valuable claim
known as the pecan grove. The old
negro ran his team nine miles in forty
eight minutes and arrived ahead of the
man who attempted to drive him off.
The negro showed fight and downed the
man with a Ratchet. The man received
a very severe wound on the head, but
will recover.
Gov. Steele started for Chandler this
morning to open the TOWNSHIP at moor to-
morrow. Soldiers have Chandler under
military rule and will not allow anyone
to approach nearer than ten feet of the
line. The first person to arrive yesterday
who started at noon was Elmer Mcclure,
who rode through on a tricycle., making
the run in three hours.
A courier from Tecumseh states that
the site wal proclaimed to open settle
ment at noon today by Gov. Steele. Two
hundred people rushed in and claimed
lots. There had been no disturbance
when the courier left. Gov. Steele i'm
mediately proceeded to Chandler, the
county seat of the upper county, and ar
rived there this evening. That townsite
will be opened tomorrow. Troops are
guarding the site to prevent intrusion.

left Germany and were welded to Amer
lea and to the latter they should adhere.
He said they should learn the language
of their new country but they were
bound also in gratitude to remember
and love the language of their mother.
The bishop closed with a remarkably
eloquent tribute to the American flag.
Following mass the lay portion of the
huge congregation dispersed and the
priests repaired to the first session of
the "Priester Verein." 1t was held in
privacy. Notwithstanding the secrecy
maintained one of the members, Father
Hagen of st. Louis, declared that moth
ing had taken place during the meeting
which they would have objected to any
body knowing. The Rio William, pope
of Peru, ILL.,, talked i'm a similar vein.
He SAID, speaking officially after the
meeting was over on behalf of the society
for proceeding, "'The only important
pro .eeding was the adoption of ar ex-
tended constitution. 1he one heretofore
in use was very brief but in effect prac-
tically the same as that which today was
debated carefully and voted on section
by section. The name accepted is the
German-American Society of Priests.
In today's meeting Conner of Du-
buque spoke enthusiastically in favor of
the following, which was adopted: BE it
Resolved, In order to preserve and cul-
tivate the German language to recon-
mend hat Catholics send their children
to such institutions as teach the German
language bes ides English. .
A number of motions and resolutions
of minor importance were also dispensed
with. The session ended with the APP
pointment of a committee on platform,
of which Rev. Boneman of Reading, Pa,
was made chairman.
