him to the floor By several hard blo~s
on the head.
The treasurer was knocked nearly IN

IN defense he claims, the thieves tore
thA satchel from his hand and rushed
out of the office, slamming the door as
tbev went. They rode down In an eleva-
trr very uuconceruedly, and made their
escape Drake notified the Central sta

detective that Inspector Shea could spare

daring sensational robbery that mas oc-

curing, as il did, in one OF the pest
known office buildings in the city, right

trying to find out.
Every effort was made TO keep the rob-
berv 4 secret; Mr.. Whitehead, general

I'm the Rookery building at IL o'clock,
and refused at first to give any OF the

IL that involved the restoration OF Queen
Liliuokalani IL Is difficult TO perceive
what solid ground these rumors can
stand upon, IN view Of the fact thar Se-
cretary Gresham himself has confirmed
the press publication 10 the effect that
the steamer China sailed from Honouiu
bringing the last news that IL is possible
for any one in the United States TO have
received. Minister Willis had not for
mally presented his credentials and had
not made any movement that had met
with a check. There were no cable dis
patches received at the state or Navy
Departments to-day, and matters appear
TO have quieted down. Nevertheless, there
is much suppressed anxiety among the
officials who are waiting impatiently for
the arrival Of the next steamer from
Hawaii.
Consequently. the report that came from
California. based on Claus Spreckles'
statement that the steamer due by sche-
dule next Sunday night arrives at san
Francisco tomorrow, was welcome at
the Departments.
