A London Bank Robbed--Amerlcnns sus-
pecteu of the Crime.
LONDON, Sep 22.-The banking world
was startled yesterday by the announce
ment that the London and Westminster
Bank Qimited), an important establish
ment, having over fifteen branch houses
in the metropolis had been robbed.
The money stolen consisted of a large
parcel of bills remitted from the country
banks. The thieves must have watched
closely for an opportunity to accomplish
the robbery, and to have gained access
to an apartment near the main entrance
to the bank.
This apartment was easy of access
from the street, and the parcel of bills is
supposed to have been stolen while the
bank officials we're busily engaged in an
other apartment in going over the ac-
counts Of last weeks settlement.
The amount stolen is not less than
S750,00O, and it may amount to as much
as 81, 200, 900. Expert American bank
thieves are supposed to have engineered
the job.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sep. 22.-The ex

misses to outrival that Of the opening of
the Oklahoma Territory. Several hun
dred negroes left this place last night
for the Indian Territory. They were &C.

Trouble is feared as the negroes are de
termined to secure land adjoining one
another and thus prevent the whites
from invading their settlement. Should
they be unable to do this rightly, they
will use force 60 accomplish their ends.
