From Cine. nnHsi fssstoface.


Cincinnati. Jan. s.--There was a great
sensation In the central part OF shc city
this afternoon on account OF xaggerat-
ed reports abou. the daylight robbery
Of the postoffice. 1t was after two
O'Clock when Assistant Cashier Frank
III. Sparks was found lying on the floor
in an unconscious condition by the 5an-
stor, No noise had previously been
heard about the place, but when the
5anitor gave the alarm an enormous
crowd soon surrounded the building
When Postmaster ZumStein, Inspector
Salmon and Cashier Tucker arrived in
the cashiers office, Sparks did not ap-
pear 10 be badly hurt. although he had
a big bump on his forehead. Cashier
Tucker and the others waited till
Sparks took his lunch first and then
they went to lunch. Sparks Was alone
at $3.50 n. M, when he says two men
entered the Office and asked for small
change for a IS bill. While he was UNI

rushed through the small screen door
which happened to be open. and soon

and he knows nothing that transpired
from that time until he was aroused by
Janitor Weise. Detectives go so far as
20 say that sparks injured forehead is

Although 1t was in trays that could
easily have been carried off, it was not
touched. Sparks thinks this was be-
cause the envelopes were covered by
newspapers. There was a much larger
amount still in the vault which was OPP
en and not touched. This circumstance
would weigh in favor OF Sparks were it
not for the fact that this was the day
for his settlement. After paying of the
carriers he should have had 1857 In the
drawer, but the detectives are unable
to ascertain whether he had any other
considerable amount in the drawer be-
fore the rohbey. They refer with sus-
picion TO the door being left open at a
time when the assistant cashier was
alone with 1867 in his own cash drawer.

Uproar in tho bulgarian Assembly.

Vienna, Jan. 3.-There is considerable
comment here regarding the almost un-
+ precedentsd scene in the sobranje or na-
ttonai assembly at Sophia Friday night
last. December 8, and early Saturday
morning. During the debate on q credit
OF 100000 francs asked for by the gov
ernment FOR the purpose Of suppressing
brigandage, NJ. DossefT, the opposition
leader, declared brigandage no longer ex-
isted in Bulgaria, and that Premier Sto4l-
OFT asked for this money for the purpose
of establishing system of political es-
pionage. Uproar followed. the Supporters
or the government strongly denounelng
the assertion OF the opposition leader, and
al. Dosseff replying with strong express
sions rejecting upon the ministers. This
caused Stoiioff to exclaim: You're a liar
and slanderer.' Tits served 20 bring mat
ters TO the most intense pitch OF excite
nent. All the deputies sprang. to their
feet and hurled insults at each other,
while M. Dosseff continued his attack
upon the government. Finally the rresi-
dent OF the sobranie, DIR. Theo. Roreofr,
announced NJ. Dosseff's expulsion from
the chamber for the remainder of the ses-
sion and directed the quaestors TO re-
The Liberals replied TO this order with
1ssses and, with the members Of the OPP
position grouped about him, NJ. Dosseff
struck at the duaestors and beat them off.
but not until some OF the deputies had
drawn revolvers. During this exciting
scene the members withdrew and left the
Liberals in possession OF the house After
an hours interval the sitting was resumed
at midnight. The opposition protested
against the action OF the government. de-
clariug that the scene was caused by n.
Stoiloff calling ". possefs a liar aud Sian
derer. and later the opposition left the
hoase In body in order. as they claimed,
to avoid witnessing further acts OF injus-
tice TO the country and It's representatives.
During the absence OF the opposition the
deputies supporting The government dis
cassed and adopted a political amnesty
bill creating propositions 10 grant am
nesfy 20 Zsnfofr and Karaveloff. After
the measure had been adopted the opposl-
tion returned 10 the sobranje.
