An Enterprising Chicago Sneak Makes an
Effort to Steal the Ashes Of Columbus.
CHICAGO, April 29.-Christopher CO.
lumbus' ashes were stolen last evening.
The glass containing them was broken
and the priceless remains lifted from
their resting place by an unknown thief
whose presence desecrated the sacred
convent LaRabida at Jackson Park.
The ashes were carried from the dark
corner to the light OF window and
carefully examined that no mistake
might be made. But the delay for ex-
animation proved disastrous to the pur-
pose OF the vandal and saved TO the ex-
position and saved TO posterlty all that
is left OF the remains OF the great ex-
plorer and benefactor.
The theft was discovered at the In
stance the examination was complete.
and while the little urn was being
thrust In the pocket OF the thief A
struggle followed the discovery, but the
thief escaped. The ashes were saved
however. The ashes were confined 10
a glass urn bound about the corners
with bands OF pure gold. Since It's ar
rival the gold bound urn had been view
ed by thousands. Last evening nearly
all the visitors had left the grounds and

vent, saw no one enter 1t and IL was
supposed the place was vacated. Jani-
tor Dunno before retiring. started TO
take a drink OF water. Upon reaching
the corridor, he heard slight noise in
the room where the urn was placed,
and went there to investigate. When
he reached the open door, he saw a man
walk from the Columbus urn TO the win

saw that the glass case was open and
the urn gone. Then shifting his sight

q glimmer OF golden band.
As the unknown man thrust the urn
beneath his coat and toward his pocket,
Janitor Dunno shouted, drop that"

toward the relic despoIler. The thief
did not drop the urn, but made rush

and the roar OF Lake Michigsn's angry
waves defened his shouts. The man

AFTER MILLER NOW |
The Other Parsons Are After Him
All at Once.
But Miller Seems to BE in 1t All the
Time.
A GREAT ROW BREWING AMONG 'eM
People WHO Come and Go-brief Brevi-
ties of Interest to All Readers
of The Globe.

OF L he OlODe
1t seems that one Rev. Miller, a Baptist
preacher-a parsOn who has tried TO walk
in the straight and narrow path, the path
which leads to all happiness and which
steers one clear of hen coops-is accused
of many things
This particular parsOn breaches up the
rOad-up about the moral vineyard where
John Christian lives-in fact he calls
himself and is the parson of the Second
Baptist church.
And it is related of the Rev. O. Miller
that he is not the great moral man that
he should be-that he has done wrong,
that he has sort of Becherized, and been
bold, bad, bad man,
And so much so has this been talked
that all the cOlored brethering, or many
of them, waited upon Mr.. Miller and
asked him, in friendly way, to leave
town. To git
But he never got. He has actually
depopulated the colOred Baptist church
at Hayti, and he threatens, that is it is
in the air, that his actions threaten to
knock out all the other creeds and de-
nominations on earth.
Mr.. Miller is man who seems to be
loving the Lord and the sistering at the
same time.
We expect tomorrow to print some
official account of what the other brether-
ing, who have been left flockless, really
did
In the mean time, Col. Professor Rev.
Miller is still holding meetin and telling
the sistering how he loves them.

1t is, some philosopher has said, an i'll
wind which blows no one good. And so
it would seem and appear that the strin-

off not in good resolutions, but in the
likker habit
For Monday morning this was a good
day at police court.
Good, not for costs and quibbles and
questions, but good because there were
but two cases, and the judgment was
suspended in each case and the costs were
paid and the transgressors went on their
way to sin no more

WHAT Is TO EECONE or CTEIl

Tho especial attention Of our reader, j. called
this morning b the third OF a series of Sug-
gcStivc and significant letters from our staff
correspondent at Havana on the future Of Cuba.
Tho first Of these letters gave information of
the fact that public sentiment in Cuba among
SpanardS. Crcolcs and Cubans is almost unani-
nous in favor Of annexation t. the United
States. There is really no other wish cx-
pressed except by the small clique of SpaniarlS
who administer the government of the island
in behalf Of the Spanish Crown. The fact that
Cuba'S Interests, political ~ we'll aS material
arc bound mp with these Of This country, is so
complete and absolute fact as to be quite be
You'd discussion. From her connection with
spain she obtains nothing but tax gathcrcrs
and Of these She is dcathly sick. All classes Of
Cubans know that Is al American State they
would sell all their produce 10 Us and obtain
all their supplies from us without penny of
mpost. and that their local government would
be conducted by thcmsc!vc, for their own bonc-
fit. Their gain would be enormous, ndis-
putabc and immediate.
Oar advantage, if less easily indicated, is net
less considerable. The time is here when the
permanent relations of outlying islands to the
United States must be considered anew, and
with none Of the od-tmc prejudice against
ultra marine juriS'ici,n and responsibility
which was at the beginning Of our National
history and. indeed, until our present great
domain had been acquired and settled the
natural result OF an isolated and comparatively
contracted territory. The destiny Of Hawaii
became OF prime importance to only when
the Pacific Ocean marked western boun-
dairy, and when cities and farms occupied the
lands acquired from France and Mexico Our
interest in Cuba while il has never been small,
is now vital. Not only do we need Cuban
products. but we especially need a West Indian
property. The political considerations which
urge such an acquisition ere too numerous and
too serious 10 be safely ignored
An lsthmian canal controlled by our GOV
ernment has become probability. The arrange
mcnts for it may not be at this moment in Just
the shape most satisfactory to our people, but
they are rapidly taking that shape. If the
canal is built while the political relations Of
Caribbean countries remain rs they are, we
shall find ourselves with "A depot of supplies
no nearer 10 Grcytown than New Orleans and
without q naval station or even a coaling sta
ton anywhere in or about the Caribbean Sea.
We shall find Great Britain with powerful de-
fences ut st. Lucia and Kingston in firm con-
troll of the mouth Of the canal. 1t is profound
~ significant that these English Notifications
are not old or worn out. Those az St. Lucia
have been built within the last five years, and
even yet they are being strengthened and ex-
tended They are mounted with the most

The Democratic Commissioners Of Accounts
have reported to the Mayor the results Of their
investigations in the two departments Of Edu-
cation and of Charities and Correction. They ac-
cuSc beth Departments Of unbuslncsslike meth
DDS and Of miSusing public funds. There can
be no doubt that these charges are amply
justified. especially in the Department Of Char
tiles and Correction. Since that department
has been completely under Democratic control
for many years and Is thoroughly Democratic
from top t. bottom, while the officials who
make the charges are Democrats, the Com
missiOners of Charities and Correction cannot
assert that the charges are inspired by partisan
motives. TIE TRIBUNE has pointed ont re

extent as an asylum for decayed and worthless

S2.542,000 greater than in 1891, indicating a
probable aggregate of S72 900, 900 for the month.
Against this there were merchandise exports

while shipments from New-iork decreased in
four weeks $7,s62.712, and the cotton exports,
though nearly 2 cents higher in price, were so
small as to be about $40, 100000 less in value.

this that gold went out In December, and yet
