BOLD BANK ROBBER

Robber I'm st. Paul Makes ~ Day
light and Succeeds in Escaping
With His Booty.

ST. Paul, Aug. 15.-rhe most daring
bank robbery in the history of ST. Paul
occurred at the First National bank clear
ing house department yesterday forenoon,
when Renaldo Lares, trusted represent
alive of the Merchants National bank,
was robbed of a bag containing $1,000
in gold. Lares, accompanied by /. II.
jacobs, the porter of the Merchants, en-
tered the building, as has been their GUS
toia for months, with funds TO clear up
tho transactions for the day. Both men
are trusted employees and have been doing
this for some years. The funds this morn
ing consisted of three bags containing
$1,000 each, in small steel box, with
od,l money also, and in all about $2O, 1000,
Arriving at the teller's window Lares
opened the box and placing them on the
window lodge close to the teller's win
dow and at his right side, he standing
between the post and the window, while
the porter, Jacobs, stood at his left be-
tween Lares and the door, Resting the
bage for the moment on the ledge Lares
began TO pay in the loose money, and wns
busy with this when he heard a step at
his right, and, turning instantly, he saw
the robber grab one of the bags and dart
around the post toward the door. Lares
made a leap and succeeded in reaching
the door almost as quickly as the thief,
and would no doubt have been able to
cctcl him or at least follow him, had not
a man, undoubtedly the accomplice of the
thief, here interposed by crOwding Lares
to the wall and giving the man with the
bag clean sweep. In An instant every
thing was excitement; the clerks and
clearing house men rushed out into the
general bank, but the gold robbers were
as completely gone as though the earth
ha ] closed over them. The Pinkerton and
city detective forces are hard at work on
the case, but have so far nothing that
may be called real clue.

A Lansing Mystery.

Among the passengers on a street car
bound for the Grand Trunk depot at
Lansing was a strange young girl
about Is years old. She was much
agitated and afraid the car would be
too late TO allow her to take the east
bound train, which leaves there at $40,
and inquired as to the time frequently
on the trip to the depot. On arriving
there the fast vestibuled train was
just pulling out and before she could
be stopped she jumped on the rear
platform of the rear coach and was
still hanging on when the train disap-
peared. AS there was only the lower
step for her to stand on, it being a
vestibule train, the depot employees
were much alarmed. None of the
train men saw her and as the train
makes no stop between Lansing and
Durand, a distance of So miles, tele-
grams was sent ahead and the train
was tagged at Hazlett Park, eight
miles from Lansing, but the girl was
no where to be found. Section men
were at once sent out and made a
search of the track traversed and re-
turned without finding any trace of
her. There is no clue to her identity.

Wants Hawaii Annexed at Once.

The steamer Alameda arrived at San
Francisco from Sidney via Honolulu
brings advices from the latter place.
With the exception of Mr.. Stevens and
a few other Americans the friends of
annexation were considerably de-
pressed when the news that the treaty
of annexation had N OF reached a vote
in the United States Senate. The Roy
alists were corresponding elated.
Minister Stevens is of the opinion
that the popular vote on the question
of annexation in the islands would
be useless, for with the excep-
ton of the rowdy element and a
few Interested persons of the promi-
nence there is no strong feeling against
annexation. President Dole says he
has no reason to believe annexation
will not come even though il be de-
ferred. The present unsettled state of
affairs is cot only having a manifest
effect on commercial lines in Honolulu,
but is strengthening the Royalists in
their opposition. A number of secret
meetings have been held at which va
rious measures for the lettering of
their position have been discussed. So
far as known no threats of violence or
of resort to arms have been made,
but it has been proposed that represen-
tations should be made to the English
government in view of the apparent
antipathy to action by the United
States.
British Minister Woodhouse, on Feb
ruary 2S, sent note to the provisional
government protesting, it is stated,
against any Acknowledgement of ma
tives. President Dole, in acknowledge
ing the receipt of the note on the fol-
lowing day, asked the British minister
to furnish precedents where Great
Britain in any case of annexation of
foreign territory in the Pacific had
granted suffrage.
Minister Jones, of the finance de-
partment, has made careful investi-
cation into the issuance of bonds by
all Hawaiian governments up to the

T., A. A. & \. NJ. strike on Again.

The Toledo, Ann Arbor q North
Michigan strike is on in worse shape
than it has 5een at any time since the
trouble commenced. The engineers on
all Toledo roads and all others making
connections with the Ann Arbor viii
refuse TO handle freight offered to that
road. This is by the order of Chief
Arthur, who stated that such was his
decision.
Mr.. Arthur charges State Railroad
Commissioner Kirllby, of Ohio, who
acted as the peacemaker, with betray-
ing the cause of the men. He says a
clause in the terms as agreed upon was
that all old employees should be given
their former position without preju-
dice. MIR. Arthur says this clause was
not presented to the company at all,
which made provision that all appli-
cations must be made in writing to the
master mechanic of the road, who must
recommend the men before they would
be re-employed. This is equivalent to
saying none of them could come back.
The Ann Arbor had conceded all that
the men asked in the way of wages
and hours after a long hitch about the
wage part of it.
