CorFEYvrLLE. Kan, March 27.--The Caney
Valley bank, at Cansy. kan.. was robbed
late this afternoon and $4,000 secured by
the robbers. Shortly after one O'Clock two
men named Starr and Nswcomb entered
the bank when no customers were present
and levelInR their revolvers at the cashier
and three other employees demanded all the
money on hand. The argument was un-
answerable and something over $4,000
was quickly handed out. The rob-
bers then backed out of the door
after parting assurance to the
bank people thar they would meet sudden
death II any outcry was raised. The men
hurried to their horses and had good
start on the way to the Indian territory
before the bank people recovered from
their fright sufficiently to give the alarm.
Az soon as the matter became known a
posse was organized and started In pursuit.,
but up to Tonight the robbers had not been
found. Starr is one or the notorious Dali
ton gang and only recently escaped from
jail. where he was Imprisoned for compile
ity in the sensational Coffeyville robbery
last fall. Newcomb is also . notorious

To The Independent:
Having noticed tho article In regard to

tice TO all parties concerned wonld like TO
say that II was not MIR. Ives, the aergeant-
at arms. who sent mo around with tho sub
scription list, but IL was Hon. J. u. FIem.
ing. the representative from Beaver head
The way 1t came about will herein explain,
Mr.. Ives went to MIR. Fleming and said
that he Ives> had expended $12 or %l6 out
OF his own pocket for expenses incurred at
the auditorium. and as it was too late in
the session to mako an appropriation, and
there was no other means for his relief
than by subscription he asked MIR. Flem-
Ing to start u subscription list, which Nh.
Fleming said be would do. Mr.. Fleming
called me and told me TO take the
list around. took IL around on the re-
publican side of the house and part Of
the democratic side: when Mr.. Fleming
called me and asked "how much money
had" / told him "$125O, which he said
was enough. He turned 1t over to Mr..
Ives, who said it made him come out about
even. AS far as tho rent of the auditorium
is concerned know nothing; all would
say to the members was. THAT IL WAS for
the relief OF the sergeant-atRrms for ex-
penses OF the joint session held In the audi
torium." They were not requested to give
50 cents, but just what they plensed. The
sergeant-at-armsd did not sta to what the OK
penses we're. and l did not know. The
Helena members told me il was not for
rent and l told the members 80. Most OF
the members made no objection ia giving q
few cents and the amount will say again
was only $780, not $50. a. stated SUNDAY,
and the most of that was subscribed by the
republican side OF the house.

The United States court decided that the
United States could not condemn the prop

which the right of the company to collect

was not considered such action being
taken in obedience to tho act of congress
in relation to tho matter.

WASHINGTON. March 27--Dr. T, O. ST..
Clair. for more than twenty-seven years
head Of the consular bureau Of the stnte de-
pnrtment, has been removed. Late Satur-
day afternoon Secretary Gresham sent a
note to DR.. st. Clair notifying him that he
desired him to tender his resignation at
once, and further that his assistant, W. G.
Faison. of North Carolina. had already
been appointed his successor and would
assume the duties OF the Office. This was
naturally surprise to DR.. st. Clair, who
never before dreamed that his official con-
duct had been called into question. He
sought an explanation from the secretary.
The latter is said to have told him he had
been guilty Of holding back official papers
on the score that they we're personal letters,
and for this offense his resignation was re-
Quested.
These papers. it is said, contained charges
against certain United States consul in
Germany. and instead of being treated az
private by DR.. St. Clair. they should be
sent in regular department. round. DR.. st.
Clair produced the letters in question, which
he claimed to be his private correspon dence,
but he did not succeed in convincing the
secretary that thsy were other than official
papers.

IMMIGRATION FACTS.

The treasury department has issued
report on immigration into the Uni
ted States which contains some very in
teresting statistics. No account of i'm
migrants was kept prior to 1920, but
it is estimated that between the close
Of the revolutionary war and that year
they numbered about 100000. Since
1920 the numbers has amounted to lG,-
100000 In round numbers the vari-
GUS foreign countries contributed the
following to this enormous total:
Germany, 5,7jOOOO; Ireland 100000;
England, 2,535, 900; NorW ay and Sweden
100000; Austria Hungary, 5s5,OOJ;
Italy, 527 600; Russia and Poland, 5l7,-
COO; France, $4,000; Scotland, 3is,OOO;
China, $4,000; Switzerland, $4,000:
Denmark, $4,000; all other countries,
100000.
Most of the immigrants enumerated
in the last item came from British
North America. In the forty years
from 1920 to 1850 more than one half
of the entire immigration was from
England and Ireland and the greater
portion from Ireland. Since 1850
much the larger portion of the immi-
grafton from the United Kingdom has
been from England, aud the flow of
population from Germany, Norway
and Sweden, Austria Hungary. Italy,
Russia, and Poland has greatly increas-
ed. Since 1920, with the exception of
China and France, there has been al
most constant increase from all
countries. Since 1881 there has been a
decrease of the immigration from Ger
many and Switzerland.
The largest number of immigrants
from all countries in any ole year was
7ss,992, in 1882 For the year ended
June 30, 1892, the number was 523,OS4,
an increase of 1G7, 1872 over 1890 and 60,
705 over 1891. IN the decade lssO-9O
there were 5,2lG,Gl3 immigrants, as
against 2,Sl2,l9l for the preceding ten
years-1S7OsSO. Since the act of Aug.
6, 1882, excluding Chinese laborers, the
total Chinese immigration has only
amounted to 7775, fact which clearly
shows that the Geary act was un-
necessary.
