ragged from, one end of the gangway to
the other carrying death and injury,
to every living being in its path.
The mem were working 1000 feet

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Ifit.realiywae
the valkyrie that the steamer Spain
saw last Saturday, 40 miles east OF
Sandy Hook, the English racer must
have met with adverse weather, after
parting company with the National
liner. The cutter has not reached this
point. and nothing is new known OF
her whereabouts. The general opinion
is that she must be somewhere near the
coast. There is considerable doubt
about the accuracy of the SPANS re-
port. AT $50 yesterday morning the
Valkyrie had been out tuenty-one

CAUGHT A TARTAR.

Michigan Of1cers Run Down and Ares
Two Thieves, But Release Them on the
Demand of q Determined Pal, Backed
Up by Two Revolvers.
ST. IGEACE, Mich, Sept. 21.-A gang
of thieves are operating from swift
sailboat along the shores of Lake Mich
igan and the Straits of Mackinaw.
They are now being pursued by a
detachment of regular soldiers, from
Fort Mackinaw. They are all armed,
and meeting is sure to result in blood
shed.
The post Office on Mackinaw island
was looted Sunday night and; $4,000
worth of stamps and money stolen.
The work was evidently done by ex-
the post office at Chartreaux had been
broken into in a similar manner.
On the night of the Mackinaw island
robbery a Strengthening craft came
to a landing and mysterio usly disap'
peared in the morning.
Officers at Mackinaw hired a tug and
sitter forty-eight-mile chase overlook
the boat and ordered the three men,in
it to surrender. The thieves at once
opened fire. One of the officers was
shot in the head and one of the yacht
men received bullets in the breast and
face.
The fusilade was continued for some
time, when the thieves surrendered.
Two of them came on board and were
secured in the hold of the boat. An at
tempt was made to get the third, who
was hiding under small deck in the
bow of the sailboat. Finally the rob-
Der came out and, covering the crew
with two large revolvers, demanded
the release of his two partners. Tho
officers were at his mercy, and
the request was complied with.
The two prisoners were released
and the sailboat cut adrift. The tug
returned to Mackinaw island for re-
Inducements. and a detachment of SOL
diers, with several officers on board
the steamer North Star, left abont $3.50
yesterday afternoon in pursuit of the
sailboat. The wind has been blowing
fresh for twenty-four hours, and it is
possible the tug cannot catch the,sail-
boat Officers along both shores OF!
Lake Michigan have been instructed to
watch for the thieves.

SOME NATURAL INFERENCES.
Improbability Of Human Existence on the
Planet Mars.

Whether or no this planet is inhab-
tied will probably always remain
matter of inference. 1t is not within
the bounds of possibility-and / wish
to speak cautiouslv-that man will ever
construct a telescope powerful enough
actually to show us living creatures ON
Mars. Telescopes now place us, as it
were, fifty thousand miles from our
neighbor. This is a great distance,
more than twice around our globe: and
If glasses one thousand times more
powerful were made. we would still be
fifty miles off, at which distance the
largest creature on earth could not be
discerned.
Mars atmosphere would weigh onlv
four-tenths of ours if il contained the
same number of atoms similarly pro-
portioned: hut II is observed TO be less
in mass. so that its pressure must be
very much less than ours. and it could
WELD to our lungs less than half the
