The Story of Robbery OF the sub-Treasury

New YORK, April 3O.-"There is absolutely
nothing in it," replied Assistant Treasurer

morning when asked as to the authenticity Of
the rumor that had reached this city from
Washington that robbery had taken place
at the sub-rreasury last night.
The only cause that | can assign for the
starting OF such a rumor is that some one
might have said on the street yesterday that
the sub Treasury had lost four and quarter
millions of gold, this being the street ex-
preston for announcing that SO much gold
had been exported. for which, of course full
value was received
" The only other possible ground. contin-
ued Dir. Roberts. " for such q rumOr is the
case alleged IN which a check was raised from

found to be correct the money will be made

There is absolutely no defalcation no rob
berry, nor anything irregular. Everything is

for robbery. and If any shortage should occur

BALTIMORE. Mp, April 30.-The proposition
Of the Tnomson-Houston Electric Company.

company and the details Of the necessary
contracts were at once made. Tho electric
company acree TO build the power house,

tory, then the motor IS to be adopted,
but If found not 20 be practicable the cleo
trio company will remove al It's ap-
piiances without cost to the railroad conf
pany. There were present at the conference
at which the decision was arrived at to-day:
President Gilmore. Of the belt line. Preslden.
Mayer Nice-president King and General

Railroad Company. the lessees Of the tunnel.
and Dir. Edward +. Gile. the representative
of the Thomson-Houston Company. Vice
President King. after the conference ended
said 10 Il Cnited Press correspondent.
The proposition 70 move great trains
through tunnels Is certainly bold one.
Whether it will prove practicable remains 70
be seen The offer Of the electric company IS
the first attempt on such large scale. and
am not prepared TO doubt that it can
be done The wonderful developments in
electric science which are being made almost
daily show that what seems 10 be impossible
today il practicable tomorrow. The COM
pany will be ready TO move the trains by the
time the tunnel is opened. which we expect
will be in December next
The proposition of the electric company
has attracted widespread attention, and it Is
generally believed by those who have given
the subject consideration that if the expert
ment at the tunne. shall be a success steam as
a motive power for locomotives will soon bo
