South Bend. Ind, Dec. THE South
Bend national bank. one Of the largest
and soundest banks of northern Indi-
ana, was robbed of over $15.soO today.
The deed was committed in broad
daylight. while hundreds OF people
were on the streets, and the robbers
succeeded in getting away with the
Doodle without leaving the slightest
clue
Every train or other means Of Ieav-
ing the city. was carefully watched,
and the officers hope to obtain some
tangible clue before tomorrow.
Cashier Myron Campbell remained
in the bank, in the heart Of the city.

open, the back door unlocked and the
door between the directors room and
the counting room mutilated. After
an examination of the safe. a rush was
then made for the vault.
The door was as Mr. Campbell left

the safe within. A glance showed that

There is but little doubt but tha

days, perhaps weeks. It is now pretty
certain that in turning the con1bina-

vault, the one depended on at the
noon-hour. the cashier did not turn it
far enough to scatter the tumblers
By a mere chance, the robbers hapuen-

THURsToN NOT TROUBLED.
The Action of the German Bond
Holders Is All Right.

Omaha, Dec. John NJ. Thurston,
general solicitor of the Union Pacific,
just returned from st. Louis, expresses
himself at length on the question of
the disintegration of the Union Pacific
system, which has been exploited dur
ing the past week; also touching upon
the action of the German bondholders
of the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company.
OF the latter move, he says: THE
action is by no means a. surprise. 1t
is z, preliminary step much desired by
the receivers of the Union Pacific, who
have wanted to transact matters per-
tanning to the receivership with some
one person or bank authorized to act
in behalf of the stockholders. This
has been done There is no fear of a
dismemberment of the system, as the
interests of the Union Pacific are too
closely interviewer to be lightly put
aside. There is nothing suspicious
about the meeting of the German bond
holders in Berlin yet. It is only a
preliminary step in assisting the re-
ceivers to manipulate the property for
the best interests of all concerned
If the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf
system under the new receiy r should
fail to meet the interest payment on the
Colorado Central mortga ge, the bond
holders under that mortgage would
commence foreclosure proceedings ask
ing the segregation of the Colorado
Central lines from the balance of the
Gulf system, and would undoubtedly
be entitled to a separate receiver pend
ing the foreclosure.

THE SPECIAL MESSAGE.
1t Has Already Been Prepared by
the President.

Washington. Dec. 1T is not GER
tain yet what course the executive
viii take in response to the resolution
of the Senate calling for information
on the Hawaiian episode The infor-
nation viii be given. but whether in
formal response to the Senate resolu-
ton or in the special message from the
president. which takes no note of the
resolution, has not yet been deter
mined
The information is prepared and can
be sent in at any time. 1t was appar-
emily put in shape to accompany the
presidents forthcoming special mes
sage before the resolution passed the
Senate yesterday. There is excellent
authority for saying that Minister Viii
lis present orders are to employ no
force of arms. It is probable the in
structions by the CorWin are for him
to proceed in his efforts to persuade
the provisional government to allow
the queen to be restored.
1t is intimated from a, responsible
source that the ex-queen declines to go
back on the throne unless by the con-
sent of the provisional government
leaders or on guarantee of protection
by the United States.

THOSE OPIUM CASES.
Judge BeIlfnger, of Portland, Causes
a Little Breeze.

Portland, Or, Dec. Judge Bellin-
ger, of the United States district court,
created a surprise today by announcing
in open court that he had erred in a
ruling made in the Dunbar smuggling
trial; that a conviction could not be
had on the evidence of aceemplices
without corroborative testimony The
ruling which Judge Bellinger said was
in error was that on which he based
his instructions to the jury that con-
viction could not be had on eight Of
the fourteen counts Of the Indictment
against William Dunbar. on the trial
for smuggling opium, because there
was no testimony corroborating that Of
Blum, lacking, Garthorne and Berg,
who were accomplices, and who plead
ed guilty and testified for the govern
ment. 1t was on the remaining six
counts that the jury returned a. YER
dict Of guilty against Dunbar. The
announcement of Judge Bellinger will
have an important bearing on the re-
manning cases against the t'ring." as
it is said Blum, lacking, Garthorne
and, Berg will tell all they know in
each case.
The grand jury today returned an
other indictment against Dunbar,

tells this story of John L. Sullivan, the
ex-champion pugilist: Mrs. John
Drew, the famous actress, has just
completed an engagement in this city

She has been bolstering up theatrical
ventures of her son Sydney, and the
enga gement came to an end with
pressing demands and no money to
meet them unless she could borrow
a considerable sum without collateral
She saw no way of getting her COM
pany out of town. AS attempt after
attempt to do so only met with failure,
she became almost frantic. For days
and nights she went about trying
every source to be thought of, with
no success, whatever Finally, as a
last resort, she went to the big pugilist
who is performing here. To her -nalf-
frantic statement of the case he merely
said:
why, Mrs. Drew, don't you worry
about a little thing like that I'll pull
you through. How much do you say ?
So much? Here. where's my manager
and my check book? We are all mem
bers of the profession. and must help
one another"

Prompted by the feeling that it was

that President Reinhart, just before

foreshadowed attacks during his alb

that a receivership, and other dire re-
suits would be prophesied. There is
