ROBBERY OF DRAKE.

twenty-five Thousand Secured by the
Chicago Thieves.
CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The robbery of
j. A. Drake, treasurer of the Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa railroad, which oc-
Cured shortly after Z o'clock at his Office
in the Rookery building, was one of the
bo1dest of it's kind ever committed in
Chicago.
A mail carrier, in passing Mr.. brakes
Office heard groans within, and, upon
entering, found the official lying upon
the floor, bruised and in semi conscious
condition.
''I've been robbed by two men, !" said
Mr.. Drake, feebly, and the open safe,
overturned valise and scattered papers
confirmed his statement. Mr.. Drake
had evidently received rough treatment.
Big welts on his head bore evidence Of
savage blows. He had but little to say,
but the sum of $25, 900 was mentioned as
missing, and it was soon understood that
the robbers had made away with that
amount.
The police overhauled many suspects
and last night it was reported that detec-
tives had arrested two men at depot
who refused to give an account of them
selves, and that they were locked up at
the central station. None of the officers
would admit than an arrest had been
made.

TERRIBLE GALE.


Hundreds of Lives Lost on the English
Coast
LONDON, Nov. 20.-The latest reports
received make the total number of
deaths from drowning during the gale
along the coast of Great Britain as 1874,
and this is without reckoning the crews
of several vessels which have been seen
to founder off the coast. The total
fatalities, irrespective of the numerous
crews of missing fishing fleets, is esti-
mated at quite 200, according to the most
conservative estimates. Dispatches re-
ceived from Banff say that the seashore
for 30 miles is strewn with the wreckage
of vessels.
Some idea of the force of the gale can
be gathered from the fact that two
heavy railroad engines were blown off
the track near Inverness, blocking all
traffic.
1t is impossible at this hour to give in
detail the number and description of the
wrecks or the damage done to houses
and property, but the latest reports are
that the gale now shows some signs of
abating.
Channel traffic is now stopped at all
points and many passengers who have
been waiting since Saturday to cross the
channel have been put to great incon-
venience.

Mr. Blount's Report as published q
shameless Perversion of Facts"
AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 21.-A reporter
of the Kennebec Journal called on the
ex-Minister to Hawaii, John L. Stevens,
at his home and asked if he had any
thing to say regarding Commissioner
Blount's statement Mr.. Stevens said
that he firmly adhered to all of the pre-
vious statements in his San Francisco
and Augusta addresses to the country
and in his open letter of last week TO
Secretary Gresham. He expressed great
surprise at the language of Mr.. Blount,
as to Mr.. Stevens unwillingness to show
him the records of the legation. Mr..
Stevens says he feels himself at lib.
erty to expose Mr.. Blount's remarkable
conduct towards himself, commencing
Immediately after Mr.. Blounts arrival
in Honolulu. 1t is record, Mr.. Stevens
says, the publication of which will as
tonish all honorable minds, bringing to
Mr.. Stevens no censure unless it be that
he tolerated such insulting treatment
without at once resenting it by refusing
all intercourse with the offending person.
Mr. Stevens two weeks ago made an
imperative engagement out of the state,
which will occupy the next two or three
days. With reasonable promptness he
will be heard in his own defense. 'lt is
sufficient to say now," Mr.. Stevens adds,
''that Mr.. Blount's report, so far as
given to the public, is an ex parte and
shameless preversion of the facts.

NEW York, Nov. 20.-The Herald

purports to be large portion OF the re-
port of Commissioner Blount. 1t sums
up as follows: Commissioner Blount's
report will show that Minister Stevens
landed the troops from the Boston long
before there was any valid excuse for
their presence on Hawaiian soil; that he
declined to remove them when requested
to do SO by the government andintormed
that the authorities were willing and
fully able to preserve order and to
protect American interests; that
these troops We're stationed across
the street from the government
building in which Minister Stevens
knew the revolutionists were about to
read their proclamation and that the
revolutionists' committee relied upon the
American troops to protect them in this
act of rebellion; that Minister Stevens
recognized the provisional government
according to a preconceived programme
before that government had obtained
possession of the departments and mill
tary power at Honolulu, and that the
military power was surrendered, as the
queen surrendered, only through awe of
the superior force of the United States.

Don't Rrag.

There is no more childish trick than
the too common one of boasting. One
encounters it everywhere, particularly
where ones antecedents are not realized
by the listeners. Older people indulge
In it more than their children, who seem
to have keener sense-in this way-of
the ridiculous, and women are far more
prone to it than men. This is, however,
because they care more for the pomps
and vanities of this world than do men
in general. If man has weakness
for fine things, for swell society and
acquaintance, he is pretty sure to allow
his folly to creep out in the form of
brag. Such folks should serve as object
lessons for their fellows. In that sense
they are of use in the world. -Philadel-
