London. Oct. ia dispatch to the

been published at Pekin assuming for
the government full responsibility for

order to organize them. The Chinese
government is prepared, though re-

recognizes the urgency Of radical mil

men have been notified. So far the
shortage amounts to $4,000, but as
new claims appear at intervals, it is
impossible, without thorough in

The money was paid to Meads during
his incumbency by homesteaders
when making homestead entries, final
proofs or combinations, and was not
turned over to the government or af-
terward accounted for; consequently
homesteaders were unable to get their
receipts or patents and could not
realize returns on years of privation
and toll spent in perfecting their
rights to homesteads. It was com
plants from them which called atten-
ton to the receivers accounts, and
the discovery of the shortage. Should
his bondsmen make the defalcation
good no criminal proceedings against
Meads are likely to be taken. Meads'
successor as receiver is Cush Culver
who recently resigned to become the
Democratic candidate for congress.

that United States Attorney Sells has

1t was said at the department of

The Dalles, Or, Oct. 1.-THE Pa
ciic Express company's Office in this
city has been robbed Of $4,000 or
$4,000. The money was sent here
from Portland and arrived Saturday
night. L. N. Hill, express agent, and
two officers took charge of the money
as soon as it arrived, taking it to the
express office. Details of the robbery
are very meager. 1t is thought that
the robbers came here on train
with the treasure box and knew
where it was consigned and the con-
tents, and followed it up, after it ar
rived. They made easy work Of cap
turing it. Charles Tibbitts, the COM
pany's driver, sleeps in the express
Office, but on the night of the robbery
he was attending a ball, and did not
return until o'clock. The robbery
was evidently committed between
1870 and 1890 Saturday night, while
Tibbitts was absent There is no
