ST. LOUIS, March Pa well arranged
plan for robbing one of the many outgo-

night, and ali the would-be robbers save
one are now under arrest. Last Monday,
F. Cosney, alias John Lowe. alias Hunt

tress Minnie Myers, alias Minnie Lowe,
Louis Lutz alias Louis Kinderlinder,
Clark Goodwin, John Reed and Robert
Wethered, met in a South Fourth street
saloon and formulated plan to rob one
of the outgoing trains tonight.
Wethered, however, called upon police
officials and gave away the whole scheme.
AS the different ones approached the
meeting place tonight they were put I'M
der arrest. A search of the Myers wo-
mans place on Clark avenue, disclosed
guns and dynamite that were to be used.
On being arrested all parties confessed
that they were intending to rob either the
Iron Mountain train near Jefferson Bar
racks or the Frisco express at a point
about ten miles from the city.
The parties are all under 25 years of
age and Wethered and Goodwin claim to
be from Texas. Others are local toughs.

ADMITTING CHINESE.
Sixty.SeTen Coolies Allowed to Land
at Portland.
Two Government Officials Suspended
Therefor--Other Coolies Awaiting
Habeas Corpus Proceedings.

PORTLAND, March 25.-Customs offic
ials today confirmed the truth of the tele-
gram from Washington, stating that
sixty-seven Chinese were illegally landed
at this port last Thursday night, from the
steamer Haytien Republic. The steamer
arrived here from Vancouver, B. c.,
Thursday at D. m, with 122 Chinese on
board. Acting collector of customs Pike
instructed deputy collector Cardinean not
to recognize any of the certificates that
might be presented, but to let the China
men be subject to habeas corpus proceed
ings. At 10 O'Clock at night Cardineall
and inspector Armstrong permitted sixty
seven OF the Chinese to land.
Acting Collector Pike was not notified
of this action until the next morning.
Cardinean, in explanation of his action,
said his instructions had always been to
land Chinese whenever they presented
proper certificates. Acting Collector
Pike then suspended Deputy CardinealI
and Inspector Armstrong, pending an in
vestigation, which will be undertaken as
soon as Collector LOtan, who is now in
San Francisco, returns.
William Dunbar, of the Hayden repub-
lie, said: "We have an arrangement with
the Canadian Pacific by which we get Sc
for every Chinaman we bring to Portland,
and if they are denied permission to land
we get IS each for returning them. The
remaining fifty-five Chinese are still on
the steamer awaiting the result of the
habeas corpus proceedings which have
been commenced. All have certi ficates,
but they are somewhat irregular.

AN ALLEGED MURDERER.
No Doubt of Hickey's Connection With
the Clayton Murder

No Doubt of Hickey's Connection With
the Clayton Murder
BUTTE, Mont, March 25.-TSpecial. i
It now transpires that Frank Hickey is
one of the alleged murderers of John NJ.
Clayton, of Somerville, Ark. The allega-
ton comes from W. H. Burkhardt, who
claims to have been telegraph operator
at Little Rock when the assassination oc-
Cured. He says he is positive OF
Hickey's guilt. Billy Forester, alias
Dan Crowley, the safe blower, who was
arrested in Chicago last fall for blowing a
safe in this city, is another of the murd-
erers. He is now serving a five-year term
IN this state.
Burkhardt also says there were four
persons engaged in the assassination OF
Clayton and the other two are at Hot
Springs, Ark. Hickey has been in jail
here about four months. He was brought
from Denver on a charge of having as
sassinated Officer William Jordon last
June. He was tried two weeks ago and
acquitted.
Burkhardt was the principal witness
against him, and after being released
Hickey threatened to kill Burkhardt and
the latter had him arrested. In default
of s., 800 bail to keep the peace for year
Hickey was jailed. Burkhardt sent the
telegram to Little Rock, concerning the
arrest and signed Officer Werner's name
10 it.

others capitals will, it is said, be soon
represented at Washington by diplomatic
agents OF that rank. Senators are united
in the belief that if the president sees fit
to promote United States ministers to the
rank OF ambassadors, such promotion
viii amount to new appointment and
must be subjected to approval by the Sem
ate.
q rumor with many elements OF proba-
bility was current in the corridors of the
state department today that W. G. Whit
ney, of New York, viii succeed Robert
T. Lincoln at the court OF st. James.
Tie only doubt in the matter is in regard
TO Mr.. Whitney's wishes. There is no
question but that he will be appointed
provided the Office is acceptable to him.
In reference to the rumor that ex-Secre-
tary Whitney will be appointed ambas-
sador to Great Britain, it is said on I'M
questionable authority that neither Whit
ney nor any other man has been selected
for the position In fact, it is asserted
positively on the same authority that the
matter Of appointing a successor to Lin
coin has not been considered.

NASHVILLE BANK FAILS.
The Commercial National Closed Its
Doors Yesterday Afternoon.
Omcers Say Depositors VIII Be Paid in
Full-A Cotton Firm Pulls the
Bank Down.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 25.-The
Commercial National of this city sus-
pended this afternoon after banking
hours. The cause of the suspension was
the failure, two days ago, of Dobbins,
Darcy & company with chief offices in
this city and which firm was largely in
debted to the Commercial National bank.
At a bankers meeting of representatives
OF other banks of the city, the conclusion
was unanimously reached that there was
no reason in the present condition of af-
fairs for experimenting any other suspen-
sions among the banks of the city, and
that business will go on as usual.
The Commercial National has capital
stock of $500, 0G0 and a surplus fund and
undivided profits 1896, 900. 1t is believed
all depositors will be paid in full and the
stockholders, when the affairs OF the ba nix
are wound up, will lose little If anything {.
The bank owes depositors about $500 600.
Mr.. Spur, president of the bank, says
the failure OF Dobbins & Darcy involved
the bank in heavy loss the exact amount
OF which cannot be ascertained.
The stringency of the money market
east rendered it difficult to rediscount and
as rumorS detrimental to the interest OF
the bank were being circulated on the
streets of Nashville, and in order that a
run on the bank might be avoided and all
creditors be permitted to share alike in its
assets, suspension was regarded as the
only course left to the bank
Nearly the entire amount of indebted
ness of this firm to the bank was brought
about by means of gross misstatements
as to the shipments of cotton made by
| Mr.. Darcy to the cashier. The bank
holds life insurance policies upon the life
OF Darcy amounting to $4,000 part Sc

.SCOTCHED, BUT NOTKILLED.
Ahlwardtism Continues to Rear
It's Head in Germany.
A LIVELY EASTER RECESS.
Political Activity Transferred to the
Political Platforms.
Imminence of Dissolution Sends Most of
the Members of the Reiehstas to Face
Their Constituents-Bismarc VIII
Not Stand for Election.

BERLIN, March 25.-Scotched, but not
killed, AhlWardtism continues to rear
its head, with front OF brass and sus-
tanned by Jew beating mob. Ahlwardt
remains a dangerous factor in public life.
Since his exposure in the reichstag his
reception on the streets and at two public
meetings which he attended have been
like what might be accorded a great SER
want of the state. Ahlwardt said he had
been treated by the reichstag with the
grossest injustice. Members, he declared,
oov1ouIy wanted to suppress the eVi-
dence he possessed. To support the
charges he had van full of
document which he had offered to pro-
duce for the examin alton of the reichstag
Continuing, AhlWardt said if he had been
given time, no unbiased mind would
DOUBT the truths Of his proofs. The vague
ness OF the accusation did not affect the
enthusiasm OF AhlWardt, whose relish Tor
stories OF corruption in high places was
on par with their cruelty.
Both official and unofficial papers con-
cur in the opinion that it was
whole question of anti-Semitism
with the question of Ahlwardt's
veracity. In the debate in the reichstag
the Conservatives repudiated him, yet they
have taken another step towards strength
ening the anti-Semitic feeling in a party
platform. Twenty-six members of that
party are back of the bill prohibiting
Jewish immigration and the naturaliza-
ton of foreign Jews The bill is de-
signed to catch notes in the country dis
tricts where the Judenhatzsn spreads like
an epidemic.
The three weeks Easter recess of the
reiehstag and lantag is generally passed
in absolute quiet. This year the recess
will be the transference of political ac-
tivity to political platforms. The immi-
nence of dissolution sends most of the
mem bers to face their constituents and
on all sides the Easter recess will be de-
voted to probing constituencies.
The appointment of Arch Duke Reniert
to officially represent Emperor Francis
Joseph at the coming silver wedding of
King Humbert OF Italy is hailed as a
veritable triumph OF the quirinal over the
vatican. The arch-duke is an uncle OF
King Humbert and might attend fetes
without his presence being considered as
tive of the emperor of Austria, his visit
may be pregnant with consequences.
The reasons for this blow to the vatican
are found in the pope's pro-French
policy and Cardinal Rampolla's uncom-
promising attitude on the Hungarian
Kulturkampf.
The Frankfort ZeitlnRg says Prince Bis
marck freely tells visitors that he viii not

TIIZSINNONS IN CHICAGO.
His First Public Appearance
Since the New Orleans Fight.
A BIG CROWD GREETs HIM.
Mayo, of Cleveland, Candidate fol
Puglistic HOnors.
He Was of Opinion He Could "Do" Bob
But on Recovering Consciousness
After the second Round
Changed His Mind.

CHICAGO, March ga crowd of 5000
persons assembled in the Second Regi
ment armory this evening, the occasion
being the first public appearance of Bob
Fitzsimmons since his famous fight in
New Orleans. The first contest of the
evening was with Sam Bird, OF Chicago,
who was easily disposed of, Fitzsimmons
merely using him to give an exhibition of
clever ducking and sparring. Before the
third round was over Bird was dizzy and
fell against the ropes, being helped to his
corner by Fitzsimnons.
Phil Mayo, of Cleveland, posed as the
next candidate for pugilistic honors.
Mayo this morning was imbued with the
idea that he was going to ''do" Bob, but
tonight knows better. knowledge came
to him slowly with returning conscious
ness some time after the close of the
second round OF what he intended to be q
four round contest. Mayo, who had been
III training two weeks, appeared in excel
lent condition for good battle.
AT the call of time Mayo began with en-
ergy planting several good blows on Fitz-
simmons chest and a hot one on his
neck. The crowd cheered wildly, evil

In the second round Mayo was agrees
sive; he landed hard on Fitzsimmons'
stomach, evidently angering the lanky
man. Fitzsimmons then tented with his
left and followed up like lightning with a
right, catching Mayo with frightrul force
on the chin. Mayo fell like dead man,
his head striking the boards with crash
and he lay senseless until counted out.
Then Fitzsimmons assisted the seconds to
bring him around which was done after
ten minutes hard work. Ordinary eight
ounce 'tpillows'' were used in both con-
