FROM FOREIGN LANDS
The Sultan No Longer Accuses
Kiamil of Treaohery,
BUT THINKS BE WAS LAX IN DUTY.

Therefore the Late Grand Vizier
Will Not Be Completely Restored
to Favor-Egypt Has Not Plotted
Against the Turkish Ruler, Who
Is Becoming Very Nervous.
CONSTANTINE oPLE, Sept. 22.-The sui.
tan has become convinced, after thor
ough investigation, that there is no
foundation for the charge that Kiamil
Pasha, the late grand vizier, was en-
gagged in plot for his dethronement.
Nevertheless, he is convinced that Kia-
mil failed to do his duty in other mat
ters affecting both the foreign policy
and domestic administration of the en-
pire, and therefore the late grand vizier
will not be completely restored to favor.
That Alleged Egyptian Scheme.
1t now appears that the reason which
the sultan had for his recent leaning
toward Russia was information from a
source which he credited to the effect
that the Egyptian khedive had plot on
foot to detach Arabia from the Turkish
dominons and rule over that country
as II part of Egypt under British protec-
ton, and, with the native Arabian emirs,
retaining certain share of independ-
ence, There seems to be no doubt that
such plan has been proposed in Egypt,
but merely as scheme to be carried out
in the event that Russians should cap
ture Constantinople and dismember the
Ottoman empire. In that event the khe-
dive would probably assert his indie
pendence and endeayor to annex Arabia.
There has, however, been no plot
against the sultan on the part of the
Egyptian government. 1t is said that
the sultan is losing the self control for
which he he has been noted and is be-
coming very nervous and suspicious of
everybody, and some Of the leading
Turks suspect him of design to place
himself and his treasurers under the
guardianship of Russia shonld another
war break out.

taken to that city, where he is under

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. c., Sept. 90.
"A unique aquatic contest took place
here yesterday besween Edward Han
Ian, the ex-champion oarsman of the
world, and Alex Mclean, champion
oarsman of this city. Mclean, who
rowed in lapstreak skiff, was given
600 yards start, while Hanlan used a
racing shell. The race was for 5000 q
side, and the distance WAS three miles
with turn. Hanlan did some splendid
work in the race, but could never catch
Mclean, who won easily by three
lengths. McLean's time was 10 min.
90 Sec, while Hanlan covered the dis
tance in 10 min. 32i sec. Mclean has
issued series of challenges to Hanlan,
one of which is that they both row in
lapstreak skiffs with an even start, Nc
Lean taking the inside course against
the current.

Mexico's Revolutionists.

SAN ANToNIA, Tex, Sept. 22.-Dr.
Plutarcho Ornells, the Mexican consul
in this city, has received instructions
from President Diaz to keep himself
fully informed in regard to progress
of the revolution in northern Mexico.
But very little can be learned of the
movements of the revolutionists, how
ever. They are known to be marauding
between Mier and Matamoras, and they
have committed many depredations.
The incendiary circular spread broad
cast by the revolutionists is having
effect, and secret rebel organizations
are said to be forming in many places.
These will join the uprising against
Diaz when opportunity offers. There
has been no engagement near Monterey,
as reported.

general Jail delivery of three card
monte men, shell game operators, thin
BILE riggers, sweat performers and sus-

has been the custom for several years.

lines of work, and promptly sent to Jail.
But it does not pay to hold them to
await the action of the grand jury, as
victims of their wiles rarely appear to
testify against them.

A MAMMOTH STEAL.

Bank Raided by Thieves.

LONDON, Sept. 90. - The banking
world of this city has just been startled
by the announcement that an important
bank robbery has taken place in this
city. The police and bank officials are
trying to keep the matter as quiet as
possible, so that the entire facts in the
case are not obtainable at present. 1t is
known, however, that the institution
that has suffered is the London and
Westminster bank limited, No. II
Lathbury, Il. c., an important estab-
lishment having over fifteen branch
houses in this city.
The money stolen, it would appear,
consisted of large parcel of bills re-
mitted from the country banks to the
London and Westminster bank. The
thief or thieves must have cleverly
watched for the proper opportunity to
accomplish the robbery and to have
gained access to an apartment near the
main entrance to 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 last
weeks settlement.
Said to BE a Million.
Both William Astle, the town man.
ager of the bank, and II. F. Billing
hurst, the county manager, decline to
make any statement for publication as
to the actual loss incurred by the bank,
but it is''currently reported that the
amount stt len is not less than 81 600, 900,
and that it may amount to as much as
$1,250,00
The bank officers, the city police
authorities and the criminal investi-
CATION department Of Scotland Yard are
putting forth their utmost efforts in or
der 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 be-
ing watched.
Notice of the robbery has also been
sent to all the banks upon which the
bills were drawn, but the police theory
Is that no attempt will be made to
change the bills in this country, but
that the thieves will have recourse to
the continent, where the presence of so
many wealthy travellers from England
and the United States makes such
transactions easier than in this country.

yesterday Judge Sudler dismissed the
