The last reliable news from the
bank robbers, is that they were
seen in Milton, Nov. 18th, between
3 and A o'clock p. M, where they
gave an exhibition of their skill
in the use Of fire arms, took up a
collection and vanished in the fog,
since which time no one seems to
know what they have done with
their whereabouts. The manhunt-
ers havegiven up their chase and re-
turned TO their homes. The Judge
came in first, wisely concluding,
after mature deliberation, personal
observation, and unlimited expert
enee while camping on their trail,
together with the evidence in the
case, that he had not lost any bank
robbers. Not being accustomed to
horseback exercise, three days con-
tinuously in the saddle naturally
worked an hardship on him, and
fearingShis legs would get too long
for his pants, necessitating the
splicing of the same with Aounce
or rufile, in order to bring them
down to the required length, he
took the back track, AT present
his lower limbs are gradually con-
tracing, and will no doubt in the
course of time, barring anymore
rash breaks, resume their former
symmetrical proportions,
The arrival of the mail is the
event of the day. Daily crowd
assemblies at the post-office, and
while the p. M. and assistant dis
tribute the mail, the crowd dis
cusses political finance, and social
affairs, local and otherwise. A few
days ago an unusually large num-
Der were present, waiting for the
mail, all available standing room
being taken, The hum of the
conversation was almost incessant,
creating considerable confusion,
everybody seemed to be talking at
once, and each on a different sub
ject. During a partial cessation
of hostilities, that is, lull in the
conversation, your correspondents
attention was attracted by comp
limentary remark concerning him,
made by the ''hello boy, who rang
him up on a chestnut" in the fol-
lowing neat and artistic manner.

MRS. CLEVELAND's RETURN.
She Was Not Taken Ill, but Intended to
Come Back Yesterday.

Mrs. Cleveland is in as excellent health as
she has ever enjoyed. and her journey to New
York did not even fatigue her. The statements
published this morning that she had been taken
i'll during the naval review and was obliged to
leave suddenly were without the slightest
foundation and were due to the lack Of knowl-
edge on the part of newspaper reporters Of the
prearranged plans.
1t was known here before Mrs. Cleye-
land left the city that she would return yester-
day afternoon, and special car was attached
to the train leaving New York at pm. by the
Pennsylvania road for her benefit. When the
review was postponed from the morning to
the afternoon on account of the bad
weather 1t was arranged that should
the review not be over in time a special tug
supplied b. Admiral Gherardi would convey the
Presidents wife and Secretary Thu-ber from
the Dolphin to the wharf OF the railroad. This
program was carried out. which occasioned the
false story of n sudden illness to be spread.

E. P. Baldwin, the first auditor of the Treas

favoritism in the examination OF accounts.
1t has been the practice to make accounts
special at the request of certain attorneys who
have been doing business before the de-
partment, and thus hurrying them through

great injustice, a. men who did
not employ attorneys or could brig NO in

to wait many months for the settlement OF
their accounts. Under this system some &C.
counts we're settled as soon - they were re-
ceived, while others had to wait from three
months to nearly two years. Under the new
order each account must be taken mp in the

GOES ON JUST THE SAME.
Tho Business OF the War Department
Though There Is No Official Head.

Notwithstanding the War Department was
practically without official head this morn
ing, the routine business of the Department
went on just the same. No matters arose re-
quiring the attention of the Secre-
tary or the officials usually en-
powered to act in his absence,
consequently there was no necessity for COM
municating with the absent Secretary on official
business. Gen. Schotield will return from New
York tomorrow and will then take charge of
the affairs Of the department. Heretofore in
case of the absence of the Secretary and his
assistant, the chief clerk of the department has
been specially authorized 'to sign acquisitions
signature of the Secretary during bis absence. -
1t was not deemed necessary, however, to do
this in the present case.

MIR. EGAN AND CHILE.
No Information at the state Department.
as 10 the latest Rumor.

No information whatever has been received
at the State Department in regard to the report
cabled from Valparaiso that the Chilean minis
ter of foreign affairs has refused to hold
further official communication with
Minister Egan, on account OF the
latter's course in the recent controversy
about Chilean refugees. The report says that
the Chilean government regards Mr.. Egan' ;
conduct insulting and that it viii send him
his passport. 1t is also said that the police
guard which has been maintained around the
legation building has been Withdrawn.
The latest advices from Mr.. Egan were to
the effect that he would soon return to the
United States without awaiting the arrival o.
his successor. This fact inspires the belief thas
if passports were sent to him it was at his own
request.

GERMANY's EEPREsENTATIvE
A Change May Be Made IL the Rank Of ths
Office is Raised.

The elevation of the German legation at
Washington to the rank Of an embassy,
it is said, will involve q change in the
diplomatic representative here, for the
alleged reason that DIR. Won Holleben,
the present minister, does not rank high enough
in the diplomatic service OF his country to war
rant his filling the role of an ambassador. So
far. the State Department has received no
official notice OF the proposed estab-
ishment Of German embassy in
tins country. Consequently no steps have
been taken there to change the designation Of
Mr.. Runyon from minister plenipotentiary to
ambassador plenipotentiary to Germany, to
correspond with the titles of our new diplo-
matte representative at London and Paris.
