a CLEVER THEFT IN RUSSIA,
How Prince DoIsoroul>i Lost His Fifteen
Thousand Doll;r E.iolI1.

SloiA.
| hear Of q very amusing and clever
theft to which Prince Doigorouzi was
subjected the other day, SAYS writer
in the New York Recorder. He had
been attending some kind of court
function or entertainment at the Win
ter palace in st. Petersburg. and at
the conclusion thereof. on coming
into the hail to where his cha eur
was waiting along with the Other SER
wants and foOtmen with their masters
furs and wraps, he found greatly to
his disgu,t. that the entire lett
sleeve Of his saDielined mantle had
been deliberately cut Off
The chasoour was unable to account
70" the theft, which had evidently
been perpctrated by clever thief in
the crush OF servants waiting in the
entrances hall.
The following morning the prince
lost no tHne in sending his cloak to
the furrier with orders to supply a
new sleeve in lieu OF the one which
had been stolen. A couple of hours
afterWard. and before the tailor had
time to find Il new piece of sable
sufficiently fine to match the fur of
the cloak, a servant. dressed in the
livery of Prince Do:gorouki, entered
the store bearing the missing sleeve,
stating that the police had just re-
covered it, and that he had been sent
by the prince to have it quickly sewn
up while he waited. as his highness
wished to wear it the same afternoon.
Within half an hour the tailor had
completed the job and handed the
cloak to the footman, who straight
away disappeared in the direction of
Jne Dolgorouki palace
Later in the afternoon the tailor
was ast0nished to see the princes
valet enter the shop and ask for his
masters cloak, and only then re-
allied that the IiverieI individual
who had called upon him in the
morning with the missing sleeve was
g clever thief who had first stolen the
sleeve with the object Of being able
to subsequently, obtain the entire
coat. which is valued at S15, 0)0. No
trace has as yet been found of the
garment.

ASHLEY REPLIES TO ARTHUR.
The Railroad Managers Side of the Ann
ArbOr Difficulty.


TOLEDO, Ohio, March 25.-General
Manager ii. W. Ashley of the Toledo,
Ann Arbor Il Northern Michigan Rail-
way furnishes the reply to Chief
Arthur'S statement, sent out last night:
''SInce Mr.. Arthur has made the
merits of the differences between the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and this company of public interest, it
seems my duty to state the facts from
the other point of view.
This company pays all its freight
englnemen So. 60 per 100 miles and over
time after fourteen hours at 30 cents
an hour. The men are not classified.
This is higher rate than is paid by
any road in Michigan, except the
Michigan Central. Ninety per cent of
the enginemen run freight trains
There are only seven men engaged in
passenger service; of these, two re-
manned with the company aud are
still at work. The men on these runs
earn from 81 200 to 81 400 year for
services of eight hours or less Il day ON
trains Of two and three ears, scheduled
at twenty-four miles an hour This
work is considered the most desirable
on the road.
The freight cnginemen will earn
between 500 and $l40 II month. This
is what Mr.. Arthur calls the grinding
process

VOLUME OF TRADE IS GOOD.
No indication OF Reduction OF Purchases
-Dun's Weekly Review.

-Dun's Weekly Review.
New YORK, March 25.-R G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
The volume of trade is well main
tanned and manufacturers are better
employed, with some increase of de-
mand where increase was most needed,
and every indication that people do not
yet begin to think of reducing pur-
chases- The treasury has been gain
ing gold in spite of exports of $500, 900
this week, and some exports expected,
but in view of the enormous excess of
imports since Jan. /, it is scarcely rea-
sonablc to hope that further outgoes
are to be avoided. The stringency in
money markets here and at some other
points is largely due TO slow collec-
ton, which appear to result rather
from severe weather than from any
form Of commercial unsOundness.
"General trade at Chicago is good,
and collections fair, except at some
western points, but money is in strong
demand, AMI partly because Of bad
roads receipts of many products de-
clined; wool, corn and dressed beef go
per cent, hogs 81, cheese 45, cattle "a,
barley and seeds 20 and oats IA per
cent. Receipts of wheat are 1875 per
cent more than last year, rye 60, sheep
and hides Is per cent"
