DETECTIVES CONFIDENT.
Che Fly Cops Believe They Can Catch

Che Fly Cops Believe They Can Catch
the First National Bank Robbers.
ST.PAUL, Aug. 10. The First National
bank robbers are still at large, but the
city and Pinkerton detectives, who are
working together on the case, are conf.
dent that they will find the men. They
have full descriptions of the robbers and
know the men, and their arrest Is only
q matter of time
Superintendent Webber OF the Pink
erton agency said that his men and the
detectives from the city force are work
ing together on the case, and have had
frequent consultations. They believe
that there were four men connected
with the robbery, all of whom are
known to the detectives. Two were in
the bank at the time and two outside to
assist the man who grabbed the gold.
They have also discovered where
the men resided. the time they engaged
the rooms and the time they left. The
principals remained In seclusion while
others outlined their work.
One Of the detectives working on the
case called at the First National bank
and showed Assistant Receiving Teller
Gale, who seems to be the only man
who took any notice Of the robbers, a
number Of photographs Of noted thieves
and confidence men who have been
making their headquarters In ST. Paul.
After carefully looking them over, Mr..
Gale identified the man who snatched
the gold from the window ledge. The
description Of the two men is said to
answer to that of two of the thieves
who were arrested willie lettering
around the Security bank in Mime
apolis.

Bill to BE introduced For q Govern.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.-It is now
positively stated that until the house
has finally acted on the proposition to
repeal the purchasing clause Of the
Sherman act, the senate viii do nothing
in that direction. The steering COM
mittee has ceased its efforts to steer for
the present. Whether the Democrats
in the senate can finally get together on
common ground is q matter about
which there is more or less conjecture.
why is there any necessity for such
action; why should we endeavor to
unite on a proposition to kill thing

the steering committe, and he contin-
ned: Every body knows the Sherman
law cannot be repealed uncondition-
.any."
Cases OF Appointed Senator'S.
Tho course of debate in the senate
indicates the conclusion reached by the
committee. inasmuch as 1t starts ont
with everything favorable for two
weeks desultory discussion, consisting
of set speeches on finance and the rights
of members to their seats.
The question of the right of Mr.. Lee
Mantle to a seat in the senate from the
State of Montana under the governors
appointment. will afterwards be taken
mp and under the notice given by Mr..
Hoar it viii be kept before the senate
to the exclusion OF all other business
except that pertaining to the morning
hour. The decision Of the Montana
case will govern two like cases from
the States of Washington and Wyom-
ing. so that the question is one Of great
| Importance even in its possible relation
to the silver issue.
To Guarantee Bank Deposits
The latest proposition called ont by
the financial stringency is that the
United States shall guarantee the de.
posits Ia national hanks nnder certain
conditions. A bill has been prepared
and will probably be introduced In the

Bank Circulation Bill
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE commit
tee on finance, by practically unan.
imons vote. decided to report favorably
the bill introduced by Mr.. Voorhees,
providing for the issuing OF circulating
notes TO national banks to the par value
Of government bonds and deposit to
secure circulation.
The senate finance committee has de-
cided 10 hold daily sessions, beginning
Thursday, during which time they will
endeavor TO reach some conclusion on
the silver question. Senator Voorhees,
subsequently notified the senate of his
action and asked for authority to sit
during the session Of the senate.
Mr.. Gordon or Georgia introduced
bill to suspend for six months the oper-
alton Of the law taxing the notes of the
state banks 10 per cent. The
bill was referred to the finance COM
mittee.
Mr.. Voorhees, reported back from that
committee the bill to enable national
banks to issue currency to the amount
OF the full par value of bonds deposited.
Mr.. Cockrell objected to its immediate
consideration, and then proceeded to
make IN argument against it, as favor
ing the national banks to the disadvan-
tage Of state banks.
| Mi. Voorhees, said that as single OBJ
iec,ion caused his bill to go over for a
day, he would now give notice that he
would call it up. and move to put it on

HEARD AT WASHINGTON.


Confirmed by Secretary Gresham.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. The secretary
of state has received cable advices from
Paris which in general terms confirm
the United Press dispatch that the deci-
sion OF the arbitration tribunal ON all
points. involving exclusive jurisdiction
over Behring sea has been rendered
against the United States. That ID to-
say, the tribunal has decided:
I. That Russia did not assert and
exercise exclusive jurisdiction in Behr-
ing sea and In the seal fisheries therein,
prior to the cession Of Alaska to the
United States.
2. That consequently Great Britain
never conceded any such rights to
Russia.
8. That Behring sea was not in-
cluded in the phrase Pacific ocean, as
used in the treaty of 1920 between Great
Britain and Russia; and
4 That consequently no exclusive
rights OF jurisdiction over Behring sea
and over the seal fisheries therein
passed to the United States with Alaska
under the treaty OF 1857.
The inference Is that it is under the
last five points submitted to arbitration
by article o. of the treaty that the con-
cessions as to close season, 90 mile
protected zone and the prohibion of the
use OF firearms apply. This fifth point
was the one on which the greatest
stress was laid in the argument by the
United States counsel. 1t raised the
question whether the United States had
any right of protection or property in
the fur seals frequenting the islands of
Behring sea outside the mile limit.
The preliminary abstract of the decis-
ion received Is regarded here as imply
ing that the tribunal to q certain ex-
tent has conceded this right Only in
future seal life win be protected by
virtue of an international agreement
entered iuto under the award or arbi-
tration, and not solely by authority of
o United States statute.
The full text Of the award is anxiously
awaited.
If, as the brief cable dispatches indi-
cate, all five points of article are de-
cided against the United States. the
regulations adopted by the tribunal. ii
is presumed. are in accordance with
article Z Of the treaty, which says:
IF the determination of the forego-
ing questions as to the exclusive jurs.
Il diction of the United States shall leave
! Athe subject In such position that the
concurrence Of Great Britain is neces.
sary to the establishment Of regulations
for the proper protection and preserva.

resorting to the Behring sea. the arbi
traitors shall then determine what con.
current regulations outside the juris.
dictional limits Of the respective
governments are necessary, and over
what waters such regulations should
extend, and to aid them in that deter.
mination the report of joint commls.

governments shall be laid before thsm

Llfo Guns For lsiremen.

Had the fire department been equipped with apparatus for throwing ropes to great heights or distances, such as are carried by all life swing stations, many lives could have been saved from the flames at the cold storage fire. Every man who escaped alive did so by n finn sy rope With proper gun or cannon a rope or numbers of them could have been shot mp over the tower and made fast by the imprisoned men, The ropes can be rendered noncombustible, No new or expensive machinery would be required. At the life saving station at Jackson park could have been found hugo guns with endless coils of lifeline attached The guns fro Q heavy spear, which carries thu lifeline ont to wrecks, helpless boats and drowning men, Twen- ty such lifeliues could have been firedup and over the burning tower, Every shot of the gun would have saved the life of a brave fireman,
 With the high buildings in the bus!, ness center such apparatus would be most valuable and could be carried on every hose cart. Individuals imprisoned in the tenth story, cut of from all es- cape, could be saved. A lance could be shot into the window and the rope made fast. Nothing would be easier If tho gun, the lance and the ropo are good to save lives at sen, why not use tireproof ropes to save men from death by fire;-- Chicago Globe.
