notice and opportunity to be heard.
Be it further resolved that as the CON-
missioner of Pensions, by mis- recent with
drawalS OF the obnoxious rulings which
have been so generally condemned. has
virtually acknowledged the incorrectness
OF such rulings, we deem it his further
duty to at once restore to the rolls the thou
sands of pensions now standing Illegally
suspended.
The report was unanimously adopted,
and the eneampment instructed the COM
mander-in-chief to carry the question of
the legality of the suspension of pensions
up to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The committee on resolutions made many
recommendations, several of which were
ado Dted, including IA resolution asking that
veterans be given the preference in the
public service, and a memorial asking the
Grand Army to hold services on Washing
toms biz thday.
The national officers were then installed
and each made short address. The
commander-in-chief selected DR.. George
r. Graham of Maryland as surgeon-gen-
eral. j. F. Leech of Massachusetts as ad-
jutant-general, and Louis Wagner of Phil
adelphia was continued as quartermaster-
general.
The convention then adjourned sine die.
Among the members of the National
Council Of Administration are: Arizona,

Washington and Alaska. II. A. Blgelow :;
Idaho, w. A. Dodgb: California, j. B.
Fuller; Utah. Rev. D. C. Bliss.
The convention of the Woman's Relief
Corps was not altogether harmonious to-
day. The special committee on the presi-
dents address recommended that the de-
partments, instead of building homes for
the widows and nurses of the war, send
them to the National Home This pro-
vOked excited discussion, and it was
finally tabled. A bitter controversy also
arose over the report in the case of Mrs.
Ada F. Clark of Ohio, who was suspended
from the order year ago. and this action
was sustained.
The following officers were elected this
afternoon and installed: President Mrs.
Amantha j. Waters of Minnesota; senior
vice-president, Mrs. Taylor of Ohio junior
vice. president. Mrs. n. B. Anderson Of
California; treasurer, Mrs. Gordon of Kan
sas; councillor, Mrs. C. Y. Sheriff of Penn
sylvania.
The convention adopted resolutions de-
nouncing Hoke Smith for dropping pen
sioners from the rolls. and declared that
the administration was justified in putting
every ex-Federal soldier who served the
Government in putting down the Rebel
lion 90 the pension-rolls rather than TO
find some frivolous excuse for the rejecting
of claims for pensions.

Taylor of Philadelphia, who filled that

There was con siderable talk in Grand

the selection of CoDmander-in- Chief

claimed that Governor Mckinley was on
his way to this city for the purpose of
placing General Hurst of Ohio in nomina-

Hurst's friends say, was taken to 'free

THREE BOLD THIEVES.
Attempt to Plunder a Country
Bank in Daylight.
The Brave Citizen Whose Trusty
Rifle Brought Down Two of
the Bandits.

DELTA. Colo, Sept. THE most daring
robbery ever consummated in this part of
Colorado occurred here in broad daylight
this morning. the object of the attack
being the Farmers ana Merchants Bank,
and. while the sum secured was small, the
robbery resulted in the death of three peo-
ple-the cashier of the bank and two Of
the higbwaymen who made the attack.
The robbery was planned on the lines Of
those that have been so successful IN
Kansas, where the Daltons secured so
much last year, and the belief is that the
bandits. if not members of that gang, have
at least been concerned in other robberies
of similar nature.
The bank opened for business as usual
al 10 o'clock this morning. At 10 80 three
mounted men rode up to the door and,
entering quickly, rushed up to A. f.
Blachly. the cashier. presented guns
and demanded what money be had.
The cashier refused TO give it up, and the
robbers then made a grab through the
window, securing $500. and opened fire.
The cashier fell. being instantly killed,
and the robbers then fired at Ii. Ii. VOL
bert. The assistant cashier, but missed
him.
The shooting attracted the attention OF
citizens and Ray Simpson, leading hard
ware merchant and a dead shot, ran for
his Winchester and started for the alley in
the rear of the bank where the robbers
had tied their horses. The robbers had
started out of town when Simpson got
there, hnt he succeeded in killing two Of
them by shooting them through the head.
The third shot killed one of the robbers
horses. and together man and animal fell
To the ground. After killing two of the
robbers Simpson continued after the third
one. taking several shots at him, but with
out effect.
Simpson then returned to town and get
ting together a posse started at once in
pursuit. The robber is thought TO have
about mile start and is mounted on a
fine horse, going in the direction of the
mountains. If the outlaw is acquainted
with the country there is chance of his
escaping, otherwise the posse will capture
him dead or alive. In The latter case be

brought back here.
The two dead robbers were also well
mounted, and the horse that was not killed
was caught by the citizens. Four hundred
dollars was recovered from the persons of
the dead men. the escaping robber carry
ing away the other $780,
The suspicion that the men implicated
in the robbery were the remnants of the
famous Dalton gang seems to be general.
They are not known here and their idenii-
fcation has not yet been secured.

WON BY THE COLONIA.
Result of the First of the Races
for Cup Defender.
Two of the Yachts Were Crippled
Before the Contest Was
Fairly Begun.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE first OF the
series of trial races to determine which of
the new American sloops is best fitted 10
compete with the English yacht Valkyrie
in the coming international races for the
possession cf the America cup was held
to-day. The course was from Scotland
Lightship to and around a float fifteen
miles to windward ami return, flushing at
the starting point. The competing yachts
were the Viglant, Jubilee and Coionia,
the Pilgrim having Withdrawn from the
race because of a broken gaff. The Colo
MIA won the race, with the Vigilant six
econds behind.
A twenty-mle breeze was blowing from
the southeast as the yachts started aud the
sea was moderately rough. Before start
ing the ColoDia had taken down her club
topsail and substituted one of ordinary
style. The Vigilant looked stumpy with
her topmast down, but she travelled like
Tam o. Shanter. Five minutes after the
start the Jubilee swung slowly around and
started back for New York like crippled
pigeon. She had broken the outer block
OF her gaff and withdrew. This left the
C ntest between the two Herreshoff boats.
and it Is evident the wind and weather
was too much for the Boston sloop.
The Vigilant and Colonia were now
standing of on different tacks, but both
were pointing almost in the eye of the
wind and were drawing it as fine as tbey
knew how. Both boats sailed indepen-
IDENTIFY and tackled where they liked, but the
conditions were absolutely the same. All
sailing craft were left far asiern, except
the pilot-boat Gerry. which hung like a
swift hawk on the flank of the racers.
Finally the race became monotony of
tacks, and it was apparent that the Vigil
ant had brrrowed her way up into the
wind. leaving the Colonia quarter of a
mile aftern.
The stakeboat was finally sighted. and
this was where the interest in the race
reached its greatest height. The Vigiiant
bad set her 'opmast and tops IN some time
before standing for The buoy, aud Just be-
fore reaching it the Vigilant threw her
long spnnaker boom to port, followed
few moments later by the Cnlonia. Shaw

her great spl maker few moments after
rounding. The Colonia was about five
minutes behind. but she gained gradually

War on the Chinese.

SAN BERNARDINo. Sept. deputy
United States Marshal James Faris left
this city TO-DAY with twelve warrants for
the arrest of Chinese residents of Red
lands, who have not complied with the
Geary registration act.
REDLANDs, Sept. z. Deputy United

Chinese this morning on warrants issued
by Judge Ross under the Geary law. Five
more will be arrested this afternoon,
Laborers from the ranches were selected.
These twelve warrants are the first of ITO
asked by the citizens here. More will be

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 7.-As result of the
recent anti-CEinese agitation at RedIands
and San BernardinO and other points in
this vicinity very many of the frightened
Mongols are making their homes in this
city, where there has been no excitement
and where the Chinese have in no yav
been molested. The labor unions and Fed
Grafton OF Labor have been Faee4fip o the
increase IN the numbers of Chinese and
have at last determined to take soma
action. Last evening a meeting of the
white labor of the city was held in which
some prominent business men took part
Tor the purpose of taking steps to rid the
city of the undesirable element. The meet
ing decided to operate through the Gearv
law, and to that end a committee was
appointed with full power to go before the
Circuit Court of Los Angeles and secure
warrants of arrest for number of CeIes-
tlals who were known to be here illegally.
Warrants for at least twenty will be asked
for. The white laborers of this city ara
deeply ia earnest about the matter. bus
they will conine all their efforts within the

COST OF DEPORTATION.

Yesterday morning Collector WISE re-
ceived telegram from Secretary Carlisle
asking him to find out what the cost would
be to the Government to ship Chinese
from this city to Hong Kong, China. in
lots of twenty and upward. To this Col
lector Wise replied that the cost would be
S35 per head passage money and 40 cents
pei head per day for Jail charges in this
city.
This, however, will not cover all ex-
penses, and there must be reck0ned rail-
road fare for Chinese brought from the
interior. and also Marsha s. fees. From
Tacoma to Hong-Kong the rate is S51 per
head.

MUST THE UNREGISTERED Go?

There came then another conference
this time between the Judges of the Cir
cult and District courts and the United
States Attorney. the result of which was
that the two courts should hear arguments
on the issue at an early date in bank. The
date fixed upon was September s and the
hour 10 A. NJ.
Shall the unregistered Chinese be de-
ported ? is the real question at issue.
And there is rather confident belief
that the question will be answered in the
affirmative.
Representing the Cleveland administrA-
ton Mr.. Garter will contend that the Fed
eral courts have no jurisdiction in this
matter. and that only the treasury officials
may proceed in the arrest and deportation
of the unlawfully abiding Chinese.
General Carey will contend that as a
committing magistrate the court has juris-
diction to issue warrants against any Of
tenders of the law, and that private citi-
zen may be the complainant in these as in
all other cases.
The Governments contention, reduced
to simple postulate, is that ordinary pro-
cedure may not obtain in these Chinese
cases, because the law itself directs GER
tain Government officers to proceed against
the unregistered Mongolians, and execute
the provisions of the law without process
of warrant OF judicial hearing.
Nevertheless, the real question to be de-
cded to-day is whether John must 20 or
may stay?
And this is obvious. The treasury off,
cials will not proceed against the Chinese,
law or no law. They have been instructed
explicitly not to proceed against them,
and cannot. of course, disobey their orders
from Washington.
Hence. the only way remaining to en-
