A SLICK THIEF's WoRK.-Resident
of Wilmington are greatly aroused
over the work of a clever thief, who
has a unique plan for robbing houses.
The man, until, recently, was operating
in Baltimore and Philadelphia. The
robber dresses like a workingman.
His usual field is in the most aristO-
cratic part of the city. He learns the
names of residents, and then watches
the houses until the husband leaves.
He steps up to the door, rings the bell,
and when the servant appears, he says
the man of the house sent him to work
at the gas pipe. When he reaches a
room where he thinks valuables are
kept, he sends those who accompany
him through the house on a fools
errand for supposed missing tools.
While the person is searching for the
tool the thief helps himself and sud
denly leaves the place.

In the Senate, Wednesday Mr.. Gray
discussed the Hawaiian question for
three hours, and defended President
CleveIand's policy. He spoke on the
resolution reported from the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations declaring
it unwise and inexpedient at this time
to consider further the question of the
annexation of Hawaii. He said that
the resolution presented a question Of
international morality. The Presi-
dent needed no vindication for having
withdrawn the treaty of annexation,
and he (Mr. Gray would not attempt
any. The facts a. stated in the Presi-
dents message fully vindicated him in
the course he had pursued; and in
deed, he (Mr. Gray had not heard the
Presidents conduct in that respect
seriously impugned or attacked.
