ROBBED In DAYLIGHT.
A Homestead Jewelry Store Entered
Yesterday Afternoon, and
WATCHES AND DIAMONDS STOLEN.
II Was q Well-Planned and Wsll-Exscuted
Piece of Work
TaETHIEVES LEFTHOCLEwTo W0RKoS

A well-planned and well-executed rob-
berry occurred in broad daylight on the
busiest street at Homestead, late yesterday
afternoon, the thieves securing 8, 900 worth
of goods.
The jewelry store of John +. Schmitt was
quietly entered and the show cases skinned
out of more than 100 watches, innumerabls
diamonds and other valuable jewelry. It
has been the custom of Mr.. Schmitt to
lock mp his store during the dinner
and supper hours, allowing his goods to
remain in the show windows and cases with
out any one To look after them while absent.
Yesterday at 5 o'clock the store was closed
as usual, and in 20 minutes the owner re-
turned. He was startled to find the cases
empty, and passing behind a counter At the
rear of the room discovered large square
hole in the floor. The hole had been bored
and sawed out very neatly.
An immediate alarm was given, but no
traces of the bold robbers could be found,
except that in the cellar and on the way to
the door dozen or so of watches had been
dropped by the robbers in their evident
haste to Get away.
Mr.. Schmitt occupies only the front room,
tenants living above and in the rear. An
through which the rohber gained entrance.
None of the persons about the house saw
any one whom they could imagine had a
hand in the robbery.
1t is generally thought that more than one
person was interested and that the robbery
had been deliberately planned. The store
is one recently ftted up and contains pro-
fuse display of all kinds of jewelry. Mr..
Schmitt few months ago retired from the
Homestead Hotel, where he held license or
several years. and is quite wealthy and pop
ular in the borough. The loss he has sus-
tanned amounts to over 81, 900.
Mr.. Schmitt relates the following story:
II was never so much surprised in my life,
as my fortune has left me very suddenly.
My loss is hard to estimate, but very large.
Two watches had sold. and was to deliver
tonight, were left untouched. The rascals
understood their business, and took nothing
but solid ware. Some of the jewelry, not OF
much value, was found at the Pemickey
depot. Very luckily for me, nearly all my
diamonds were in the safe, where they were
left untouched"

CLASH OF AUTHORITY.
INTERESTING CASE GROWING OUT OF A
MARsHALs ARREST.
sippi in Legal Fight-An Attempt to
See Which Is the Bigger of the Two.

MEMPHIS, Jan, 81. - The question
whether the State of Mississippi is bigger
concern than the United States of America,
is about to be determined in the case of
Deputy United States Marshal Glenn Lee,
who was arrested at Corintb, Miss. on the
Goth Of December last for carrying pistol.
At the time of his arrest Lee was in pursuit
of man for whom he had o warrant, and he
had several other warrants in his possession
which had been given him to serve on the
trip. When brought before the Mayor, Lee
pleaded his commission as an officer of the
United States. He did not have his COM
mission with him, but showed one OF the
warrants to establish his right to 60 armed.
He claims that the Mayor asked him if he
did not have other warrants, and made him
produce them. One of them was for the
Mayors nephew. The Mayor refused to
recognize Lees authority and fued him $25,
and he, declining to paw the amount, was
put in Jail He applied to the Circuit
Court, but was again defeated and fined $50
and costs. He then swore out a writ OF
habeas corpus in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Missis-
sippi, which will be heard next Monday at
Oxford, Miss.
Lie particular SIOuuu VI ZIG OlTcuiL
Courts decision was that Lee was arrested
four hours after he had abandoned the pur-
suit of the prisoner he was especially
charged to arrest, and was therefore amena-
BILE to the State law. The Federal Court
officials claim that the State authorities
have no authority whatever over an officer
of the United States under such circum-
stances, and they will fight the case to the
bitter end.
A similar case came up in this city ten
years ago, when Deputy United States
Marshal from, Mississippi was arrested and
fined for carrying a pistol. He was re-
leased on bond on a writ Of habeas corpus
issued from the United States Court. The
city authorities let the case drop and it died
OF inanition. The Federal authorities con-
tend that If the ruling of the Mississippi
Court in regard to Lee is allowed to stand it
will be impossible for them to execute any
criminal process in the State.

A BARTH0LDI INTERVIEW.
HE INDoRsEs THE FUND FOR AMERICAN
ART STUDENTS
Proposed by the Husband of Amelie Rives
Chand1er-He Abandons His Projected
Exhibit at the Worlds Fair-At Work on
Pulitzer's Gift to Paris.

PARIS, Jan. 31.-M Bartholdi, in an in
terview to-day, warmly Endorsed the "Art
Students Fund plan proposed by John
Armstrong Chandler, the husband of Amelie
Rives, the Virginia authoress, in order to
give financial aid to deserving American
students who may wish to pursue their
studies in Paris. As the plan IS understood
here, Mr.. Chandler is to raise a sufficient
sum of money to guarantee five years,
course OF study abroad, $3.50 or 5000 year
being considered sufficient for this purpose
in each case.
NJ. Bartholdi said that the scheme was an
excellent one, and that 1t would do much to
elevate the artistic level in the United
States. He added that if the scheme con-
templates the sojourn of artists anywhere in
Europe. their sojourn should be in Paris
and not in Italy. NJ. Bartholdi claims that
Paris is the art center of the world. and
here in the future should be the American
prix d'Paris. The American students are
sure of hearty welcome in Paris.
Referring to the delay in constructing the
buildings for the Worlds Fair in Chicago.
NJ. Bartholdi said that the time before the
opening of the fair was so short that he had
abandoned his intention to offer an exhibit
An artist, he said. cannot work under press
ure. There is much that is really injurious
in the progress of the fine arts in the United
States in the favorite American passion to
do things quickly. A great international
fair should grow slowly and carefully if it
is to be grand artistic success. To the ra-
piditv with which the preparations for the
exhibition OF 1893 must be made must be
credited the weakest side of the uudertak-
ing-namely, being crude.
NJ. Bartholdi is at present engaged in
giving the finishing touches upon group,
heroic in size. which is to be presented by
Joseph Pulitzer to the city of Paris. The
group represents Washington and Lafayette
grasping hands, General Lafayette holding
in his disengaged hand the entwined ban
ners of France and of the United States
The group will be cast in bronze, and will
be erected on a site to be hereafter selected

Nothing Startling in the Silver Pool Inquiry
Brought Out.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-John W. .Heden-
berg, the Chicago real estate man, whose
name has been connected with speculation
in silver, testified that he had no knowledge
of any Congressman or Government officer
being engaged in silver speculation in any
form. He had talked with numbers of Con-
gressmen on the general subject of silver,
but never with any view Of inducing them
to purchase.
Congressman Payson, of Illinois. then
went on the stand. He said that he had
known Mr.. Hedenberg since early boyhood.
He had never been approached" by Mr..
Hedenberg, but had simply talked to him
about silver legislation generally. Congress
man Perkins, OF Kansas, appeared as awitness
and made general and specific denial of
the published intimation, and charge that
he had any information regarding the al
legged silver pool. and also that he had in
fuenced the Speaker in regard to the ap-
pointment OF Mr.. Peel as a member of the
committee.
e The committee to-day received a mes
sage from the special deputy sent after
Owenby, stating that he had taken Owenby

All Reports Point to deficiency in the
Cereal Crops of Europe which tho
United States will be Called Upon to
Supply-The South American Nations
Will Not be Able to Respond to the
Demand.
WASHINGTON, July IA report on
the harvest prospects in France and
Europe has been received at the state
Griffin of Limoges, France. The Ma
tional Millers' association of France.
the report says has just issued an
estimate founded on very carefully-col-
lected data of the PROBABLE wheat har-
vest of France and Europe for 1891. In
order to meet the demand of France until
the harvest is gathered in 1892, it is
estimated that 12S, 100000 hectolitres
will be needed. The estimated yield of
wheat for 1891, will be 50, 779, 900
hectolitres This is the maximum esti-
mate; it will be 81 per cent less than
the harvest of 1890.
Russia, Tunis, Egypt, Roumania and
some of the Danubian provinces will
have fair harvest; in Hungary it will
be below the average this year. The
estimates given by the millers, the re-
port says, are optimistic. The desire to
create an impression that there is
better supply than really exists,
is all done with purpose:
then want to buy grain as cheaply as
possible in those fortunate countries
that have of their abundance to export.
In conclusion the report says, not only
France but all Europe is looking long
ingly to the wheat fields of the United
States. Last year many hoped that
South America would help supply the
deficit, especially the Argentine Repub-
lie, but to-day no mention is made of
those countries; all hope is built upon
our UNITED States) harvest. The fact,
as recently stated, is that the bread of
Europe must come from America
