Policeman Doing So VIII BE Removed
From the Force,

The new police manual which has just
been adopted by the Commissioners con-
tains an amendment which is of more than
passing interest. After the end Of rule 80
the following is substituted:
Drinking intoxicants in bar rooms or
other public places. whether on or off duty,
will be sufficient cause for removal from
the force"
This is broad rule and viii affect large
rumber of officers who are accustomed to
take a social drink now and then.
The Commissioners. In reply to a question
from Star reporter this afternoon. said
that the Law was to be rigidly enforced
and was not only intended for the private
but every member of the police force, from
Che highest to the lowest When the Fat
Mems Club was raided some time ago the
defense of several of the officers caught
there was that they were off duty.
The Commissioners do not think that an
officer of the law should under any circum-
stances accept or buy drinks in a public
bar room.

ON THE HUNT.
Looking for Confederate In the
Stamp Robbery

Detective Weldon has not yet finished his
Investigation Of che case involving the theft
OF postage stamps from the bureau of en-
craving and printing. and it Is probable
that before the case gets into court several
more persons viii be behind the bars. In
the Investigation yesterday Post Once In
spector Smith and DIR. Wesley X. Davis.
stamp agent. rendered the officer valuable
assistance and enabled him to make good
progress. The arrest OF George W. Long
street. also an employee OF the bureau. oc-
casioned some surprise among his fellow
employees.
The investigation yesterday showed that
stamps other than the 5000 intended for
the Iona, Mich. post Office had been miss
ing, for stamps of different series were
found. Those intended for the Iona post
office were printed by the Columbian Bank
Note Company, while those Of the other
series were printed In the bureau.
From the Information given by persons
with whom he talked yesterday, Detective
Weldon thinks there was probably con-
spiracy among certain persons employed In
the bureau TO have the stamp business con-
Quoted so carelessy and loosely that the
government would eventually conclude that

tract.
titled as having sold some of the stamps,
and he was selected from the other en-
ployes yesterday by the women with whom
Smith and Beach are said to have gone
on the trip to New York and Orange.
1t Is claimed that Longstreet sold some OF
the stamps. and claimed that he was a
newspaper man: that he had received the
stamps from his newspaper. and would re-
ceive 10000 more I'm a few days.
Smith has made conflicting statements
since ne was locked up. He row wants to
turn states evidence, and says IL guaran-
teed immunity he will give away the whole
affair. But his proposition has not been &C
cepted, for the officers are satisfied they
have a good case against him. and in the
light of his many conflicting statements they
would not feel satisfied that they could de-
pend upon the information he might give
them.
1t is not known just how many stamps
have been stolen, nor will the exact number
be known for some time, although the ON
GERS are confident that the stealing has
been going on a long time. and the 10000
package represents only a small portion OF
the number actually taken.

Inspector Hollinberger tried to get tele-
graphic communication with st. Mary's
county, Md, officials, to give them informa-
ton of the robbery, but as there is no tele-
graphic communication in that direction
south of the Pope's Creek railroad the mes
sage was sent to La Plata. Charles county.
No Ciue Yet.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the express
and railroad officials in this city were as
much In the dark as ever regarding the rob-
beSs and their identity The last dispatch
received at Adams express office stated
that no clues had been discovered, but that
the belief had grown stronger that the
thieves had crossed the river into Mary
land.
At the Adams express Office here Mr..
Arthur Blanchard, who was In charge of
affairs in the absence of Mr. Moss. said
that no further developments had been
made so far as he knew. He was inclined
to think that the amount taken by the rob-
bers was considerably overestifnated. The
money was largely consigned to New York
ana was sent from Jacksonville, Whining
ten, Richmond and other points south
There was but 800 intended for Washing
ton parties. and Mr.. Blanchard said that as
soon as the manifest brought up on the
robbed car reached the local office this
morning the amounts specified in IL were
sent out to the parties to whom such sums
had been consigned. 1t would be Impossible
to tell the amount of the other losses until
the manifests sent to New York were ex-
amined.

VERY SEVERE.
Birmingham and other Cities Visited
by Storms That Must Cause Much
Misery Among the People.

New York, Dec. So.--AlI incoming
steamers report very severe weather
along the coast. Steamers from Eu-
rope report having experienced the eff
fects ofstl1e high gale of the 9th. when
approaching the Georges Banks and
Nantucket. The wind. which set in
from the southwest, blowing q strong
gale, shifted to the southwest and
northwest, accompanied by heavy seas
and Intensely cold weather. The ves-
sells decks and hulls were quickly COW
cred with ice to the thickness of sew
eral inches. The crews suffered much
from the cold and the task Of getting
about the decks proved a difficult one.
Steamers from the southwark ran into
bad weather upon reaching Hatteras,
where the wind suddenly shifted to the
south, blowing a strong gale, with a
very heavy sea. Several steamers, after
passing Hatteras. experienced a severe
electrical storm, which was accompan-
led by heavy rain and hard squalls,
and upon moderating came out again
in a sudden shift from the northwest,
blowing with hurricane force, causing
a tremendous sea. which washed the
vessels decks and covered them with
ice. The officers and crews suffered a
great deal from the cold No damage
of a serious nature was reported.

ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.
Chauncey Depew Delivers an Adj
dress Thereon.


dress Thereon.
New York, Dec. 36.-Dr. Chauncey NJ
Depew tonight delivered an address on
the Armenian atrocities.
Addresses were also made by the
Rev. David H. Greer, Rev. David Yo-
harmon, an Armenian, and the Rev.
DR.. McGraw.
Mr.. Depew began by saying that the
year 1894 had been a particularly I'M
happy one. The world had been Wis
tied during the year by revolutions,
both social and financial. But the
browning cause of unhappiness and the
one which left a bloody stain upon the
history Of the year was the murder Of
the helpless Armenians by the Turks.
1T behooves us as public-spirited cit
liens to begin the new year with a
protest against the outrages at Sas-
SCUM. The peace Of Europe is only
maintained by an ever increasing ar
laament. Armenians ere subjected to
all manner OF outrageS, the Turkish
government claiming they are in a
state of insurrection and that is their
only excuse for the butchery. But the
very nature of the Armenians show
this is not SC. The Armenians are the
New Englanders of the east. They
have Sturdiness. thrift, desire for ed
ucation that are so characteristic of
the early New Englanders. With these
attributes, if they only had good gov
eminent, the Armenians would soon
become one OF the strongest and most
prosperous nations Of the earth.
AT Washington all may be silent
but America, with sixty-1ve millions
voice in a. language with her own-the
universal language of the globe-will
protest in tones that cannot be mis-
taken against the slaughter Of our fell
low Christians"
Among the audience were 500 Ar
menians.
Resolutions were passed by the
meeting expressing good viii and
heartfelt support to their Christian
brethren in England and the continent,
who are endearoring to investigate the
outrages and to bring the perpetrators
of them to justice.
Letters were also read from Bishop
Goldman and Bishop Potter.
