CRUSHED BY |CEBERGS,
News of the Loss of a Danish
Bark Off the Coast of
Greenland.
There and All Is Favorable
to Peary.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 21.-That
the past winter in Greenland was unusu-
ally mild and that everything favored
Lieutenant Peary's expedition to the far
north was the news brought to this city
yesterday by the banks Silion and Salina,
the first of the feet of the cryolite traders
to arrive from Ivigtut.
Although Esquimaux were seen who had
iourneyed well up in the vicinity of Nc
Cormicks Bay, none had seen or heard OF
Pcary or any other white man. 1t is said
that in midwinter Greenland was not
choked with ice, while the brillancy of the
aurora made the long winter nights almost
like day.
Despite the pleasant weather experienced
in Greenland the cryolite traders suffered
intensely with the cold during the home
ward voyage.
The first news of the total loss of the
Danish bark Ice Bear, of Copenhagen,
from Greenland, was also brought by the
arriving vessels. Whiie near Cape Desc.
olation, south coast OF Greenland, an ice
berg suddenly came down and crushed her
to pieces. For weeks the crew lived with
the Esquimaux until they reached Dan
ish settlement, from where they were taken
back to Denmark on the Government
steamer Thetis.
All the feet was safe when the Silion
sailed, on May %.

ON THE CANADA BORDER,
They Beat and Bind Both the
Cashier and the
Teller.
THEN SECURE MUCH BOOTY,
Through a Gaping Crowd the Masked
Bandits Pass and Easily Make
Their Escape.

DULUTH. MINI, June PA messen-
ger came in from Rainy Lake City tonight
and reported the robbery of the Bank of
Rainy Lake City. on the Canadian border
by two masked men, who, after holdingup
and knocking senseless the cashier and
binding the teller, robbed the bank of
some $4,000 and escaped.
Just before the hour for closing last
night Cashier Johnson was standing within
the bank railing when two masked men
appeared and rushed behind the counter
with drawn revolvers. The cashier was
feIled to the floor with club by one of the
robbers, while the other burglar lassoed
the teller with rope and threw him to the
floor, where he was bound and gagged.
Cashier Johnson, after falling to the
floor, made a desperate struggle. The
second robber, after disposing of the teller,
came to the assistance of his companion.
and struck the cashier several heavy blows
on the head with the putt of his revolver
One of the blows rendered Mr.. Johnson
unconscious, and when he regained his
senses he found himself bound hand and
foot and lying under the counter.
Several people outside the bank were
attracted by the shots fired, but the rob
bers locked the front doors and proceeded
to loot the vault. The inside door of the
vault was locked. The men hurriedly
filled the front part of the vault door with
powder, and exploded it, blowing the doors
off
The rest was easy work. In the open
safe within the vault were packages of
bills and quantities of silver amounting in
all to over 10000. The burglars stuffed
their booty into bags, brought for the pur-
pose, and opening the front door charged
through the crowd. They were block
away before any one seemed to realize
what had happened. They turned a cor
ner and suddenly seemed to be swallowed
up. a posse was at once formed and is
now in pursuit, and the men they are after
will doubtless be shot on sight, if caught.
kilograms have been sent in every direc-
ton giving description OF the men. 1t is
believed that they have headed for the
Lake Superior country in order to board
some steamer. The cashier is considerably
disfgured, but will recover.

WESTERN MEN SATISFIED.
Colonel Trumbo and Ofher Delegates

Colonel TTnntbO and ODteT Delegates
Fostght tor SiErer.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 21.-The
Western delegates are all going home to-
night or else will go in the morning.
Colonel Isaac Trumb DO of Utah left the city
tonight. Senators Garter and Dubois were
still in the city at 10 clock and paid their
respects to Governor Mckinley in the
Hoilenden, but they are on the eve of de-
parture.
These and other Westerners have in
spired their Republican brethren from the
East with profound respect for them as
politicians and at the same time have won
many friends by their friendly and manly
treatment of the subject they had most at
heart. In the convention this morning
Colonel Trumbo and his associates from
the West, who made the successful fight
for the same treatment for the silver ques
tlon as for other issues, were congratulated
again and again even by their mono
metallic adversaries on what they had
accomplished. Before leaving the city
Colonel Trumbo said:
1--WE had the gold men beaten, and their
only hope was to hide behind the article of
the league constitution providing that the
league shall not engage in the business OF
making platforms. 1t is strange that
this constitutional provision was never
brought up in a league convention
before; the league has. invariably adopted
platform at it's annual conven tons. The
gold men know that if a declaration was
made on the money question it would be
for bimetallism, the silver men would have
allowed no other. The prospects for sill
yer plank in 1896 in the Republican
platform were never better than they are
to-day. Many of the Pennsylvania delega-
ton would have voted for silver resolu-
ton If the issue had been made There is
not delegation in the convention that has
not silver in it. The report of the resolu-
ton committee is nearly as satisfactory to
the silver men as if there had been declar-
alton for free silver. The convention was
canvassed on the silver question and the
silver sentiment was very strong"
How will the Republican party be at
fected if a the party convention next year
free coinage is not indorsed?" was asked.
at will be indorsed," replied Colonel
Trumbo emphatieally. "The platform OF
the next convention will be protection,
reciprocity and free silver"
In the course of a long interview, which
will appear in the morning, Senator Carter
said:
"The Republican party has now and has
at all times in the past found its most sub
stantial and unfailing support in the West
ern States. From the country west of the
Missouri River it will be observed that
there exists an unbroken line OF Republi-
can representa- ives in the Senate and
House of Representatives. Without the
States referred to the Republican party
need not hope to crystalline into law any
of its policies or purposes within this or
the next generation"

FRESNO, CAL, June 21.-News comes

the sheep wander off. Adams beat the dog
to death and drove the child from the

live. The Child was taken from him.

Contractor William Jacobsen, with his
foreman, Mr.. Jekelbury, and number of
workmen, arrived yesterday morning to
commence work on the Young's Bay
bridge. Another lot of men will be down
in a day or two, and the latter part OF
the week will see active work going on
OF Smiths Point.
Mr.. Jacobsen says that the misunder-
standing in getting out the long piles at
Goble first has thrown them back a day
or two, but that a raft Of short piles will
be down today or tomorrow and the pile
driver and other tools VIII also arrive to-
day and be placed in position for work
at once. Arrangements have been made
for a camp on the point, and soon snug
quarters for all hands will be ready,

the time, and he says they will have no
difficulty in completing the bridge on
time as called for by the terms of the
contract.

Constantinople, via Sofia, Nov. 26.-Now
that matters seem to be quieting down
again here and in Asiatic provinces, the
people are beginning to form an estimate
of the amount of damage done and the
number of lives lost during the recent
disturbances. All the informed Armenlans
estimate the losses through the events
which have taken place in Anatolia alone
at 900 and the number Of victims
at 10000. OF course these are Armenian
estimates, but there seems to he rood
reasons for believing that the property
destroyed, number of lives sacrificed
and the terrible outrages committed al
far beyond anything hitherto estimated
or described.
People competent to pronounce an opin'
ion upon the subject say Ihat with the
coming of winter there will be many
more deaths from exposure and famine
! and that even the prompt collection of re
| lief funds, food and clothing cannot aver
much the loss of life and great suffering
A famine is threatened in number o

of preventing It.
The powers, instead of ordering thei

ity for an indefinite period No progress
has been made in the matter of the ap
