A noted express robbery was that Of

tanning about $4,000 in $10O notes,
which had been put up and ordered

to be sent out. He prepared an en-
velope just like one of the regular Off
cial envelopes and had it filled with
blank paper. He had sealed it with
the office seal, and when he got his
hands on the package of genuine notes
he put 1t in his pocket and substituted
his blank paper package for it. The
fraud was, OF course, at once discov-
cred, and within a month the secret
service bureau were on the track OF
the thief. He had grown frightened
and left a package containing 81, 200
at the home of the chief of the secret
service This was traced to him, and
he was arrested, convicted and sent to
prison:
A clerk named Halleck created a big
sensation about-a year before this. He
was acting in the cash room of the
treasury department, and he had
confederate in the shape of a saloons
keeper in Washington named Gilman.
He took a package of big notes one
day and handed it through the window
Of the cash room to this man Gilman.
This package contained $4,000, the
most of which was in $500 notes. Hal
leck, it is said handed the package to
Gilman, who took it and ran away.
There was, however, a third party in
the plot, sporting man named Brown.
He got hold of some of the $500 bills.
and it was through his betting with
these on the race track that suspicion
was called to him. He was arrested

Startling tc Americans.

San Francisco, Nov. IA Under
the caption, GA Japanese Invasion,
the Daily Record last evening pub
lished a story calculated to startle
American manufacturers
Japan is about to invade the United
States with the agents of her fac
tories, whose ability to produce
articles of necessity more cheaply
than the rest of the world can no
longer be ignored. Japan at last
recognizes its power. its ambition
has been aroused and it is now in
augurating =. irresistible commercial
campaign.
This new and aggressive invasion
commenced few weeks ago when
the agents of powerful manufac-
turing and commission house, whose
headquarters are in Kobo and Hiago
arrived in this city and offered such
inducements to San Francisco mer-
chants that they were compelled to
place large orders with the new COM
mercia' giant. A canvass of the
San Francisco mercantile trade rev.
veals the fact that an unprecedented
cut in almost every line Of staple
goods has been made by the oriental
bidder. Buttons by the great gross
are delivered duty free at fraction
less than the actual cost per gross Of
the American article Bicycles.
guaranteed equal to the best high
grade American are listed at $l2.
japanese matches are to be laid
down at price which is destined to
close every match factory in the
United States. Sashes, doors blinds
and all kinds of wooden ware can be
delivered duty paid, at 80 to so per
cent. less than the wholesale prices
of local manufacturers
After placing huge orders in this
city, the agent left for the east, where
agencies will be established in New
York, Chicago, St. Louis and else
where for the purpose Of underselling
American and European manufac-
turers as fast as possible.

Fatal Fire in Chicago.
Some Thrilling Incidents

the G4cnange OuliuIng, SeVeH'etoly
structure at the corner of Van Buren,
and Franklin streets, was destroyed
by FIRE to-day, entailing loss of
$4,000 upon the owners and
tenants of the building and causing
the loss of FIVE lives. the fatal injury
of two others and the injury Of SIX
other people, all of whom are expect
ed to recover
The fire started in the store of
Stern & Beirs Thirty girls were at
work there and panic ensued AL
though every effort was :nade to con-
troll the frightened girls, several went
to the windows and climbed out on
the lodges. One of the first to DO
this was Nellie Turner She scream
ed for help. and some one on the
ground shouted to her to jump She,
however, went 80 another window
near FIRE escape and climbed out.
Those on the streets watched her
movements with great anxiety She
grasped the escape and swung her
self off from the stone ledge on
which she had stood, and hundreds
on the streets below cheered She
commenced to descend Officer
Flaherty was also on the fire escape
between the 6rst aud second story,
and when he saw the girl above him,
he started up to aid her. He Was too
late. She suddenly lost her balance
and fell. Officer Flaherty tried to
catch her, bot could not reach her
She was picked up unconscious.
The escape of Olga Kellar of 575
Waubarhia avenue is regarded as
marvellous by those who saw her when
she appeared at fourth story win
dow. When the room where she was
working began to ill with smoke. she
ran TO one of.the windows overlooking

sash aud climbed out Oh the ledge.
clinging with one hand to the narrow
strip of wood on the outside of the
sash She saw few feet below her
the laddet on which two frcmen
stood, and she prepared to jump.
"Wait don't jump shouted
Capt. Hermanson who had almost
reached the window
Great volumes Of smoke poured
out the window where the girl stood
and at times her form was entirely
obscured To the hundreds of per
sons who were watching her from the
street the seconds seemed like hours
Cheer after cheer went up for Capt.
Hermanson as he climbed up. He
had almost reached the woman when
he suddenly slipped. None on the
street knew the cause. He had heard
the cir! scream, and as he looked up
he saw her, reel and release her hold
on the window sash, She had been
overcome by the smoke and had
fallen.
Capt Hermanson braced himself,
and as the unconscious form dropped
he seized it with his right arm. The
effort nearly cost him his own life, fol
he narrowly escaped falling. From
hundreds of throats cheers were
heard as the brave captain descended
the ladder with his human burden.
By noon the fremen thought the
worst of the days battle was past
They were mistaken. Shortly before
O'Clock a large safe on the fifth
door fell to the fourth, carrying it and

Russian and Austrian Censorship.

1t is curious that the Russians had their
first newspaper much about the same time
as we had ours. 1t dates from the days OF
Alexis, the father Of Peter the Great, II
considerably part Of whose reign was con
temporary With the protcctoratc, when the
first Diurnnl appeared. To any one nc.
quaintcd with Russia it is curious to see
what things do escape the notice Of the
censor sometimes.
The present writer has occasionally seen
in the reading rooms Of horelS some of the
most Russophobist articles of The Times.
The black stamp of the censor had never
reached them. After ALL Russia does not
stand alone in this respect. We remember
the contisCation of number of Die Ncue
Ercie Prossc in Austria in 1888 for an ar.
siclc on Maria Theresa, whose career we
should have thought had now become very
old history Academy.
