PENNSYLVANIA AT ST. LOUIS.
Dispatch in Philadelphia Recor

Dispatch IN PhladeIphil Record.
The representatives Of Pennsylvania,
taken as whole, bore themselves with es.
pecial credit SO as to win commentator,
from all observers. The delegation it.
self, with Governor Hastings at its head,
was above the average in individual at
tainments and character, and although
failing to put a Pennsylvania on the
ticket, 1t made an impression that will be
remembered throughout the country with
favor to the state. The final act in the
theatrical part Of the Pennsylvania pro-
gramme, the scattering Of saucer-like Nc
Kinley buttons. with the promise that
Pennsylvania will lead the column to VIC
tory In November, Is acknowledged even
by the Combiners as q graceful thing, and
both factions were active workers behind
the scenes.

A st. Louis Brewery Office Robbed in

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Dec. 3.-Three high
waymen with drawn revolvers entered
the Office of the Home Brewing COM
pany at o'clock this afternoon and held
up the cashier. Robert Haverkamp,
forcing him to hand over $4O0 and then.
not being satisfied with the amount,
went behind the counter looted the
money drawers and secured from $500
to $500 additional.
When the hold-up occurred there We're
present in the office the cashier. a half
dozen clerks and several customers.
Two of the robbers held the occupants
of the office in line while the other went
through the safe and money drawers.
When the desperadoes had taken all
the money they produced ropes and
bound hand and foot every one in the
office. This required nearly ten min
utes, and ii seems marvellous that they
were not discovered by some one from
the outside. Having bound their vic e
tins, the robbers warned them against
making a noise under pain of instant
death.
When the thieves had gone out one
of the clerks managed to free himself
and then liberated the others. The po-
lice We're at once notified by telephone.
Upon leaving the Office the robbers
mounted a North Broadway car and
went toward the river.

cepted my offer. l shall soon depart for
New York to sign COrbett. 1t strikes me

as follows: ladies and Gentlemen:
Last night Mr. Fitzsimmons and Mr..
Sharkey had a contest in San Francisco
and I expected that Mr.. Fitzsimmons
would win in short order, but to my sur
prise he did not. I don't wish to express
any opinion as to the outcome of the
contest or the decision of the referee.
I will say this, however, that I stand
ready to meet either FitZsimmons or
Sharkey. first come first screwed. two
weeks after the papers are signed, and at
any place on earth. because l want it
settled for all time who is the best man
in the world"
Seen in his dressing room by a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press the
pugilist said II feel all right, and two
weeks notice is sufficient for me. after
signing the papers. I have nothing to
say regarding the decision of the referee
last night"
Asked as to the chances Of bringing
off a fight between himself and Fitz-
simmons in this city he said: There
is no probabi of my ever boxing in
New York. I do not wish to interfere
with the lesser lights who have clubs
organized and running. But I will be
willing to fight any man in the world
at any time and at any place two weeks
after articles are signed"

Associated Press Specia, Wire


| CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. Dec. g
| "Ihe river is falling at the ate of foot
per oay, and there is no reason whatever
for apprehension" said Cal w. A.
Jones, U. S. A, to an Associated Press,
representative this afternoon, after he
had put in busy day investigating the
situation along the Chippewa river. Col.
Jones, who is in charge of the govern
ment engineering works in the north
west, had been called here by the local
authorities. who sought expert advice
in what seemed like an extremely critl-
cal situation.
He continued: THE situat ton of the
river at Eau Claire and at Chipp wa
Fails is practically the same, and the
stage of water at Eau Claire is really
the stage of the river, as the flood here is
simply caused by the back water. Most
of the water is able to get away under
the ice. and the back water represents
the amount of water that is unable to
get away. AS the stage of the river goes
down, more Of this water will flow away
under the ice. and the floods here will
be over soon. The gorge extends about
eighteen miles. and was made up largely
of anchor ice, which is a sort of slush
packed closely, but not so hard as ordi-
nary ice. Under this the river is run
ming in somewhat cramped quarters.
and as the water falls the ice will drop
down into the river bed where it is like
ly to stay until spring, the water still
running along under the mass of ice.
We seem to be starting a regular old
fashioned winter. so there is every rea-
son to expect the continuance of the ice
until spring. but there seems no reason
to apprehend any danger"
Col. Jones will visit Eau Claire and
look into the situation further tomorrow.
The people of Chippewa valley will un-
doubtedly feel much relieved over such
an opinion from such an authority.
The water has been just about twenty
five feet all the afternoon. 1t has been
showing tonight, the ground being Gov
cred, but the cold weather continues
with little change.

To three particular provisions
of the Dawes Choctaw treaty we
register a vigorous kick. We
should not be made to pay the
appraised value for property as
that means simply the present
value. We should not be made
to pay on the short notice of 80
days or forfeit our interest.
We should not lose that prop
erty on which we have fences,
orchards, outbuildings and
other improvements because
the commission say they are
not substantial improvements.
Does the commission want to
conRscate the town property

provisions as the above in the
treaty. We object most serious

treaty. aud will fight the ratif-
