Detectives and a Posse Fail to Run the
Culprite Down.
MIL wAUKEE, Nov. 13.-The most expe>
rienced detectives in the employ of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railway, as
sisted by the sheriff Of Racine county and
a large posse Of men, up TO late hour last
night were unable 20 track the robbers who
stole about 81, 900 from the American ex-
press car near Western Union Junction.
Several clews were followed up by them,
none resulting in anything, however.
kiFireman Averill ands Conductor Tucker
are positive that there were only two men
in the job aud not six or more as originally
stated. The two combination safes were
found to be intact, and had been left behind
by the robberA They we're evidently
frightened away before they had a chance
to blow the safes open. A quantity of
nitro-glycerine which they also left
behind, and which was found near
the spot, would have been
sufficient TO open ten more safes equally as
strong. One of them was consigned to
Minneapolis and the other for Milwaukee
The third, which the men compelled Messen-
ger Murphy to open for them, contained
money and jewelry aggregating about
$4,000. Claim Agent Barr Of the St. Paul
road, believes the robbery to have been the
work of Chicago crooks.

OCAaAeACIr
PARIS, Nov. I3.-An official telegram
was received in this city to-day from Rio
Janeiro regarding the Brazilian diplomatic
service and the condition OF the finances Of
the country. The dispatch states that all
the legations hitherto established in various
European and other countries viii be main-
tanned. Relative to the financial situation
In Brazil, at least so far as the gov
ernment is concerned, che dispatch
says that all the conditions are
extremely satisfactory to the authorities.
The government expects that its receipts
will be such as TO make a surplus after all
the expenses of the administration are met.
The treasury now holds 80 900 oontos of reis
In cash. This amount added to the surplus
remaining from the preceding fiscal years
and to the sums remaining from the loans
recently negotiated by the government
gives reserve exceeding 60 contos of reis
Senor Mayring, president Of the Bank OF

that Baron Gautry will succeed him as the
head Of the institution. 1t is probable that
Senior Mayring will retain his position as q
member of the board OF directors.
CASTILLO DEPosED.
RIO JANIHRo, Nov. 13.-An official tele-
gram received to-day from Porto Allegro,
says Senior Castillo, the governor of Rio
Grande do Sui, has been deposed from

administering the affairs Of that province.
Senior Castillo has always remained loyal
to President Fonseca and a few days ago a
number Of gunboats and transports filled
with troops were dispatched TO his assist

Police Raid Meeting in a Saloon and
Are Criticized.
CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The police last night
raided meeting Of anarchists in a hall
near the place of the Haymarket riots. A
lively scene followed, men drawing re-
volvers on the police. but no bloodshed oc-
Cured. Seventeen were arrested and others
were turned loose. The men arrested
were arraigned to-day, some for resisting
officers in the discharge of their duty, and
others for carrying weapons and disorderly
conduct. The officers testified that in a
saloon downstairs was a crowd excitsdly
discussing different motions and cursing the
police Upon the stairs noisy meetings
were in progress.
"What did you arrest them forp asked
the attorney of one officer.
''Disorderly conduct"
What were they doing that was dis
orderly9"
"Cursing and swearing and raising -
"What did they sayF
''I heard several say that - - -
ought to be blown to - We are stronger
than ever before and will do it vet"
The officer could not state whether any OF
the men arraigned had made incendiary re.
marks or not.
CALLED THE MAYOR A DUDE.
Another officer heard one anarchist say
"The mayor is a - - dude, and we will
hang him."
Another officer had an armful OF red flags
which he had torn from the platform of the
hall. One OF them had the words American
Group No. l" inscribed on it in gilt letters
"fhat's a terrible thing to have on a flag, u
said Cox. "Why did you bring that flag
alongS"
because it is an emblem of anarchy and
we wanted 1t for evidence"
This was practically all the evidence, ex-
cept against the men with pistols.
The case went over.
There is a great division OF public senti-
ment here as to whether the police were
justified In suppressinR last nights meet
ing and ordering the American flag
TO be unfurled at meeting of the previous
night. The mayor says the police have bis
entire approval, and that anarchist utter

portant action of the knights of Labor con-
vention was taken this morning when, by O
vote of 95 to (, resolutions were adopted
looking 10 q settlement of the differences
between the knights of Labor and the

PEELED members, or members In arrears, of
either organization shall be admitted to
membership in the other organization with
out the written consent of the organization

rangement is to go into effect the first of
the year and is open to all labor organiza-
tions in addition TO the American federation.
In the case of J. j. Holland of Florida, an
expelled member of the general executive
board, the expulsion was sustained. 1t was
charged that he and others boodled the
yellow fever fund sent by the general as
se1nbly to the Florida knights in 1888 A
proposition to admit lawyers to member

Miss Willard In her address said:
So the good work goes on. New territory Is
pre.empted, and women's mighty realm Of phi
lanthropy encrcaches each dayupon the empire
OF sin, disease and misery that hns 50 long
existed, that all thought it must endure for
ever, But there remains an immense territory
to bs possessed. The church itself must have a
new crusade. 1t must become the peoples
open night and day. IL NUT not
te huge locked np cube Of
masonry with deed atmosphere
during six days Of the week for such cannot be
the twentieth century exponent Of the church
OF him who went about doing good. We must
draw people to the church by having something
there Tor them y hch will lead them up through
material 20 perception and love Of spiritual bless
ings. That parry which unmistakably declares
for prohibition Of strong driBk in the political
platform of 1899 is the only one that can hope
for the good will. good word and prayers of the
Woman's Christian temperance Union. We
nailed that banner to the mast he ad In 1884 and
sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish. We
will keep it waving,

dress.
The rest of the day was taken up in re.
ports and singing.
