Ali Cutters on the Coast Ordered to
Fit Out for Immediate Service.
PORT TOWNSEND CWash), March
9.-It was learned here to-day that the
Treasury Department has issued orders
to fit out and prepare for immediate
service all revenue cutters now on the
Pacific Coast. The Captain of the Cor
win has received instructions to at once
take aboard stores for a ix-months'
cruise in Behring Sea. The Bear is to
arrive here on April 11th, and all other
cutters available for service are re-
ported to have received orders to make
this port before that Gate.
Those who are familiar with the reve-
nue. cutter service express surprise at
the receipt of such instructions at this
early date 1t is believed to be the in
tention Of the Treasury Department to
exercise more vigilance during the COM
ing season than heretofore and to pre-
vent, if possible, the wholesale slaugh-
ter of seals within the protected zone

BOLD ROBBERY.
Tray of Diamonds Stolen From Den
yer Jewelry Establishment.
The Contents Worth All the Way From
Five Thousand to Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars.

DENVER, March "a tray of dia-
monds was stolen from the jewelry es-
tablishment of P Gottlesleben, on Six
teenth street, at o'clock this afternoon,
and the thief managed to make good
his escape, though he was followed for
several blocks by the clerk who had
waited on him.
The cool nerve of the thief makes the
feat simple enough. About o'clock a
well-dressed man of medium hight and
age entered the store and asked to be
shown some diamonds. At the time
there were few customers in the store,
while without a snow squall was driv-
ing the pedestrians to shelter The rob-
ber stated that he wanted to buy a
diamond for his wife, and the clerk, C.
II. Leppla, produced a tray containing
large stock of gems.
Selecting one, he offered it to the rob
her, who took it in his hands and after
eA amining it carefully asked to see
another. The clerk selected another, but
before passing it over the showcase
held his hand out politely for the first
one, which was returned.
The robber suddenly looked towards
a tray of watches and suggested that
possibly a watch would do instead. evil
IDENTIFY expecting that the clerk would
step along and pull out a tray of
watches. Instead of this, however, the
clerk reached out for the second dia-
mond, with the purpose of returning
the diamonds first to the showcase.
At this the robber drew a small piece
of board from under his coat, and with
an oath laid it over the tray which he
coolly drew out of the reach of the
clerk, and turning ran out of the door.
leaving his overcoat behind.
Leppla snatched up a revolver and
ran out, catching sight of the robber
a short distance up Sixteenth street.
The robber turned at the corner of Ara
phoe and ran diagonally across towards
the alley in the rear of the Postoffice.
Leppla fired one shot, hoping to attract
attention from bystanders, but no one
offered to assist him in the pursuit.
Emerging into Fifteenth street the
robber made for the alley above. Greek
George, a candy vender on Fifteenth
street, started in pursuit, when the
robber turned and fired a shot. The
bullet lodged in the candy vender's
wrist. Leppla fired twice on Fifteenth
street, but failed to bring down the
robber. who lodged into the alley and
was lost to view.
Mr.. Gottlesleben was unable to give
the value of the contents of the tray,
but it may be $1,000 and it may be
S25.000, but he declined to fix upon any
sum.

GENERAL RIOT ON THE ISLAND.
Result of Strike of Laborers at ST.
Kits, West Indies.
Stores Looted, Buildings Burned and
Number of People Meet
With Death.

BOSTON, March Sc. Osborne
Grant, General Secretary of the Loyal
Guianez Union of America, received the
following advices to-day from British
Guiana:
Yesterday general strike took place
in the West Indian Island of st. Kits
amongst the estate laborers, which cuI-
minated in a general riot throughout
the island. The principal buildings
were destroyed by fires started by the
rioters. Stores were looted, managers
and others beaten, and a good many of
them killed. Some of them had to es-
cape aboard vessels lying in port in or
der to save their lives.
Sugar canefields were burned in all
the parishes. The damage done to
property is considerable, and the sugar
industry is jeopardized greatly and the
whole island in a state of bankruptcy
The rioting has increased, and the To-
cal authorities are handicapped and en-
tirely unable to cope with the rioters.
Her majesty's ship of war Cordelia,
which was lying at neighboring island
at the time, was sent for and arrived
in port last night and landed all the blue
jackets and marines that were on
board, but order was restored only in
certain sections of the city
Business is completely suspended.
The rioters who were compelled to re-
treat before the British marines and
blue jackets have joined in the country
districts in beating and killing sugar
plantation authorities and destroying
machinery, buildings and canefields on
but this did not help matters any.
The British West Indian and North
American squadrons have been sent for,
but it will be some days before they can
get the vessels together in st. kits
harbor
The trouble is due to low wages
There are no troops in ST. kits with the
exception of a corps of volunteers,
which is insufficient TO handle the riot
st. Lucia is the nearest military station
where troops could be obtained. and the
authorities have telegraphed there for a
detachment of troops, which is expected
to arrive in time to save the entire de-
struction of the island
A good many of the special Con-
stables who were sworn in yesterday
joined the rioters last night, and noth-
ing can be done until the arrival of
troops from st. Lucia.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9-The

CRAIG MUST HANG.
Judgment of the Lower Court Sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court.


tanned by the Supreme Court.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-The
Supreme Court has affirmed the judg-
ment of the lower court in the case of
John Craig, convicted of murder in
Los Angeles and sentenced to be
hanged.
The story Of Craig's crime is a most
cruel one. Craig was appointed to a
position on the police force of Los An
geles through the influence of his
father-in-law, William Hunter, a
wealthy landowner of the southern
part of the State. His wife was Emily
Hunter
Craig began to drink and abuse his
wife. She, with her two children, left
him and went to the home of her father,
three miles north of Los Angeles.
On June %, 1894, Craig borrowed two
revolvers in Los Angeles and said that
he wished to settle matters with his
wife. He then drove out to where she
was staying, and going up to the house
demanded admittance. His wife refused
to allow him in, and ordered him away.
At this juncture George Hunter, a
brother of Mrs. Craig, came up and his
sister opened the door TO let him in
Craig opened fire and shot Hunter in
the head. AS the injured man fell to
the floor Mrs. Craig stopped to catch
him. Her husband fired and killed her
instantly. Craig tried to kill a servant,
but she escaped.
He then drove to the home of William
Hunter, where he found the old man
and wife on the front porch. After a
few moments conversation Craig
opened fire and killed both the old peo-
pie.
He was tried for the murder of his
wife, convicted and sentenced to be
hanged

BROCKVILLE (Ont), March Bone
of the most terrible tragedies ever en-
acted in this vicinity took place here
to-day. A maniac with a gun got loose
on the streets, and as a result one man
is dead, two are fatally, three seriously
and several others slightly wounded.
1t was shortly before noon a man
named La Pointe appeared on Perth
street armed with gun. No attention
was paid to him until he suddenly and
without provocation opened fire on an
old man named Peter Moore, who was
approaching. The old man fell to the
ground dead with bullet in his brain.
Chief of Police Ross, who was near
by. heard the shot and ran toward the
scene of the shooting. AS soon as ne
appeared La Pointe fired at him. The
charge struck him in the breast, inflict-
ing a wound that will undoubtedly
prove fatal.
The next victim of the maniac was an
Indian, who came within shot, and VINO
received a bad wound. Then Constable
Lindsey, who had been informed of the
scene, took a hand in the fight. He ap-
preached the place cautiously, and
found La Pointe standing in the street
and shooting at everybody he could see.
Lindsey got a shot at him, but missed,
and before he could get another shot La
Pointe shot him in the head and neck,
and he fell, fatally hurt.
By this time all that part of town was
ir a ferment, and it was evident that
the only way La Poinre could be over
come would be to shoot him. A man
succeeded in getting into the house OPP
posite the place at which La Pointe
was standing. He fired at the crazy
man from an upstairs window and
brought him down. But before La
Pointe fell he fired a last shot in the
window from which he had been shot,
but fortunately without effect.
When he fell to the sidewalk he was
quickly overpowered and Jailed.
In addition to those who were killed
or badly wounded, he succeeded in
shooting six persons, inflicting wounds
that will not prove serious.

Rumor That Rhodes is Under Arrest.

LONDON, March 9.-On the stock
exchange to-day sensational rumor
that Cecil Rhodes, the former Prime
Minister of Cape Colony, had been arr
rested, caused a slump in Kaffrs. 1t
is considered improbable that there is
any truth in the rumor. Mr.. Rhodes left
Suez on February 9th. He was going
to Bera.
In their articles tomorrow the papers
will allude to a rumor that Mr. Rhodes
would be arrested at Beira, at which
port he intended to land en- route to
Rhodesia, and this is given as the ex-
PLANTATION of the decline in the prices
of South African securities. Beyond
these rumors there is nothing to show
that the Government intends to place
Mr.. Rhodes under arrest
