ga guest in an up town hotel awoke
one night and saw man going through

Der, who dropped his booty, consisting
of watch and several hundred dollars,
in the hallway.
"He managed to outrun his pursuer
and reached his room on an upper floor
unseen. The hotel people sent for me,
and after searching the register and
making some inquiries went straight
to Hollis room and put him under ar
rest, He accompanied me to headquar-
tiers without murmur, but as we had
no proof against him he was let go, with

Of the affair as soon as / reached the

Charley Holt has stolen lot of bonds

me so himself and said he was nearly
scared to death when he found whose
property he had taken. You'll find the
stuff in the express office, for he boxed
it all up and shipped it to Philadelphia

Here was revelation to take a

making such a swift capture. We went
to the express and got the securities

would have been an easy matter to get
Holt but Mr.. Colfax, for some reason,
vetoed the proposition to catch him. and
he went scot free Of that particular
crime. The fellow who told me was a
crook, but had nothing to do with the
transaction, and in consideration of the
give away was allowed to leave the

His Long Arms.

Mr.. Lincoln's remarkable strength re-
suited not so much from muscular power
as from the toughness Of his sinews. He
did not attribute il TO a greater proportion
Of physical strength, but contended that
because of the unusual length Of his arms
the ball or projectile had greater swing
and therefore acquired more force and mo
mentum than in the hands of an average
man.

G THE c

General Warmers Characterization OF
President Cleveland's Letter.
DENVER, April 17.-General A. j.
Warner, in an interview, stigmatized
President Cleveland's financial letter
as a dishonest representation of facts,
which contaied an apprehension of de-
feat and an acknowledgement Of the
great battle that was pending.
''But there must be a new party he
added 1--WE must mass the millions of
voters who want b~imetallism. I think
that party will be formed. IT I did
not, I would go home now and stay
there"
Mr.. Sibley said that from a hasty
perusal of the letter, he judged it was a
string Of glittering generalities, empty
words, signifying nothing.
James B. Weaver characterized the
letter as stupid. He said:
1T is evident that MIR. Cleveland and
the gold wing Of the Democratic party
will ally themselves with the Republi-
can party in the next campaign. In
fact there will be but two parties-the
gold and bank party, represented by
the Republican ticket, and the united
reform movement, OF alliance, consist
ing of Populists, free silver Democrats
and free silver Republicans.

Reports from Oklahoma state that q

feature of the storm was the intense
darkness and extraordinary electrical dis.
play. The atmosphere was surcharged
with electricity and several persons and
horses were stunned and shocked by
electric shocks. In the western part OF
Oklahoma and the pan handle Egyptian
darkness prevailed. Such a peculiar
storm has seldom been seen, and the
superstitious thought the astronomical

by a South Carolina minister, are now
repeating themselves for the first time

thing to do with it. The rain that fell
in Western Oklahoma was actually a

WASHINGTON, April lit is impos-

the attitude it has assumed toward the
dispute between England and Mica
ragua, beyond the declaration that the
map Of Nicaragua will not be changed

Great Britain will not be permitted
to acquire any of the territory
Of Nicaragua, even under color of
the old protectorate over the Mosquito
reservation, which originally extended

NOT ENOUGH LIFE BOATS.
Complaints Against the Steamship Com

Complaints Against the Steamship Com
panies on the Great Lakes.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Complaints
have been received at the Office Of the
supervising inspector of steam vessels
from a numbsr of ports on the Great
Lakes, including Milwaukee and Du-
luth, that many Of the passenger
steamers plying in these waters do not
carry the number of life boats pre-
scribed by law, and that in many cases
those which are carried are rendered
useless in an emergency by being
fastened down or allowed to get out of
repair.
General Dunont is now on a tour
which will take him to many Of the
lake points, and it is likely that he will
institute al informal investigation. If
it appears that there is ground for the
complaints the local inspectors will be
instructed to look into the matter rig
idly and see that steps are taken in
every instance to comply with the letter
of the law.

asked if he did not wish to go in the
carriage with Harry Hayward on Sun.
day, but declined, with some show of
alarm. There has been some adverse
comment because the sheriff took a
condemned man on a pleasure trip, but
there may be an explanation.
I'VE drove out on business" said
one Of the deputies, land took him with
u.s."
"What did you want him for!?" was
asked.
Don't you remember the box that
Blixt soldered up?" was the question in
reply. ut disappeared you know"
That was all the deputies would say
in regard to the matter, but it leads the
inference among some people that per-
haps there is to be another sensational
confession. This might easily be
assumed if the deputy told the truth,
else why should Hayward go with the
sheriff to the woods to assist in looking
for the tin box which Blixt swore Harry
said he intended to hide in the woods,
and Harry said he never saw.
There was a hint given out at the
courthouse to the effect that the driving
party did not return empty handed.
In fact, some Of the officials who were
not in the carriage with Hayward were
heard to ask what had been done with
the tin box. From this it will be seen
that the belief is, even in official cir
cles, that the box was found where
Hayward had hidden it and that the
sheriff has it safely slowed away some

WASHINGTON, April II. In view of

sumner without injuriously

they relate to the admission OF Mexican
cattle into the United States as follows:

Sound Money Letter.

sound Money Letter..
WASHINGTON, April II. - Senator
Stewart has written a letter to Presi-
dent Cleveland, referring to the presi-
dents letter Of the 18th inst, addressed
to the members of the Chicago COM
mittee. Senator Stewart says the
presidents letter is timely.
"The country looks to you" he says,
Gas the great champion Of the present
financial condition Of the country. The
policy for which we have labored so
long and SO persistently has been es-
tablished, and the money of the Uuited
States reduced to the shrinking value
of gold.
"What is now more needed than any
thing else is a plain and simple presen-
tation of the argument in favor of
sound money.

you have been to the country, your
task would be much easier, but in view
of universal distress your courage fal
exceeds your discretion, unless you pre-
Sent your reasons for gold monometal'
lism without delay"
Throughout the senator's letter he
arraigns in similar language the posi-
ton taken by the president and con
cludes as follows:

delayed argument in favor Of a golG
standard appears, I shall take grea,
pleasure in calling your attention to any
matters you may inadvertently omi1

PROTEST.

The Secretary Has Made q Forcible State
ment to Rosebery.
New YORK, April ia special from
Washington says:
Minister GuZman was closeted with
Secretary Gresham for some time dis
cutsing the Nicaraguan situation.
If England looks with favor on Mica
raugua's answer to her ultimatum,
there will be no special cause for
anxiety, but if Lord Rosebery regards
the reply as unsatisfactory, a different
and perhaps more serious situation may
arise. From what can be learned from
trustworthy sources Secretary Gresham,
through Ambassador Bayard, has in
formed Great Britain that this country
will not permit, without an earnest
protest, the bombardment of Greytown,
and that the landing Of English troops
OH Nicaraguan soil will be viewed as an
Gresham Tells England.
1t is said that Secretary Gresham con-
veyed the attitude Of the administra.
ton on these points in earnest terms.
No question was raised as to England's
right to demand of Nicaragua a money
indemnity or other customary redress
for alleged grievances on account of in
:juries sustained by British subjects,
hut if what is reported is true, the Sec
rotary showed some vigor in saying
what England could not do. One story
heard at the state department was to
the effect that Mr.. Bayard vas directed
to inform Lord Rosebery that firing
upon Greytown OF placing an armed
force Oh shore at that place or Corinto
would be an infraction of the Monroe
doctrine.
1t is pointed out that Admiral Mead's
feet has arrived at Colon, and is near
Greytown, and that the Monterey will
reach Corinto about the time the Royal
Arthur anchors off the west end Of the
proposed interoceanic canal.
