ITHACA, n. Y, Dec. Sin regard to
the report that Mckinley has rendered the
Office Of secretary of state TO Andrew d.
White, first president of Cornell university
and ex United States minister TO Germany
and Russia, could not be confirmed here,
as Mr. White is absent in Washington. Of
the rumOr, President Schurman said: Il
doubt whether you could learn from Mr..
White, for he probably does not know yet
himself Mr.. Mckinley is now comforting
with prominent citizens over cabinet ap-
pointments, and probably such an impor-

Tho EarIr Packet service.

The first institution of packet services
across the two channels and the North
sea probably dates back TO very ancient
times Ia the days when England was
a province Of France, and during the
later period when France was q province
of England, the need of channel for
regular correspondence must havo made
itself iresistibly felt; and even after
the loss of Calais the long presence Of
English troops and English agents in
the Low Countries called for almost as
constant means Of communication with
Holland.
The service probably made a great
stride in the days of the proteotorate
for Secretary Thurloo, who hung the
secrets of all Europe at the protector s
girdle, could do so only by means of
uninterrupted correspondence with ms
agents abroad, and, being postmaster
himself, could regulate the packets to
suit his wishes. Still the system was
not extended outside the narrow seas
either during Cromwell's reign or that
of his successor Tho need for such ex-
tension became pressing only through
the growth Of our colonial possessions.

Stevenson In Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.--Nice President
and Mrs. Stevenson and their daughter,
Miss Letitia, returned TO the city for the
congressional season and took apartments
at the Normandie In an interview last
night the vice president expressed doubt Of
the enactment of any legislation at the
coming session that would provoke much
discussion or that was in any sense of n
political character. His judgment was
that the Dingley revenue bill would not
pass the senate. Concerning the Cuban
question, Mr.. Stevenson said he did not
know what action was contemplated.
There is, he said, a very strong feeling in
the country in favor of Independence. The
sympathios of the great mass Of people Of

THEIR FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Mother and Daughter Attacked
While at Breakfast.
BOLD ROBBERY AT WILKEsBARRE.

Mrs. Knauss' Brave Fieht--"Use Your
Knife; Don't Shoot" said One Fellow.
Thieves Escaped with $40. and the
Police Find Only Slight CIew.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. 3.-While cat
ing breakfast in their home, at Port
Bowkley on the outskirts of this city,
Mrs Annie Knauss and her daughter Eva,
II years old, were attacked by four rob
bers The men rushed in and threatened
TO shoot If any outcry were made. Mrs.
Knauss struggled and was stabbed so that
she win die The daughter was kicked
and beaten brutally. Tho robbers escaped
with $40.
The Knauss house is surrounded by
dwellings and is not half mile from the
city line. Knauss had gone to work just
before his wife and daughter were at
tackled.
When the men burst in, one threw the
girls dress over her head to prevent her
screaming, and another aimed "A revolver
at Mrs Knauss and threatened to shoot If
she moved The other two men searched
the house for money.
Four hundred and ten dollars was in
bureau drawer and Mrs. Knauss deter
mined not to give 1t up without a strug-
gle. She grappled with the man who had
the revolver. She is big, strong woman,
and the fellow had all he could do to de-
fend himself His companion, who was
beating and kicking the daughter, cried
TO him: use your knife on her. Don't
shoot or the neighbors viii be alarmed. ="
AT this the fellow thrust his revolver
into his pocket, and taking out knife,
stabbed Mrs. Knauss in the face Still she
continued to fight him, and again he stab
bed her, the knife this time striking her
on the right temple and penetrating the
brain She fell unconscious.
Attacked the Girl Too.
Then the two men turned on the daugh-
ter, struck and kicked her and knocked
her, half conscious, across her mother $
body.
BY this time the other two had found
the money, and all four ran out Of the
house and down the street
Wounded and bleeding, Eva was able to
stagger to the door after them, crying for
help. Three OF four men were near by,
but instead of following the robbers they
ran to the girl to ask what was wrong,
and by that time the four men had disap-
peared
Word was sent TO police headquarters in
this city, but although Detective Eckert
and half dozen policemen are at work
on the case, they have found only one
slight clew. Living next door to the
Knauss home, they found Maggie Mitch
ell, who formerly was, the police say, init
mate with Terrible Pete Wassill's wife
and the gang that met at Wassill's house.
Pete is now in Jail, under sentence of
death, but the gang still exists, and, the
police say, they think they had something
TO do with the outrage
The daughter, while severely injured, is
not in immediate danger. The s41O stolen

that kind of talk stained with dirt

there is a covert looseness, a doublenoss

not be said with manly straightforward

as far as moral roctitude is concerned.

Thrilling sport In the World.
A Texas sportsman, in Forest and
Stream, gives an account Of an exciting
experience while fishing for tarpon in
Galveston bay. He says:
GAS had made my arrangements TO
return to Houston at O'Clock, l told
the boatman that if he would give me
one more fresh mullet / would bait the
hook, and, when that was taken, we
would go in. He gave me the mullet,
put his oars in the locks and was ready
to start when l threw my bait over
board. ] had not got three feet from the
boat before there was a mighty splash.
Water was thrown all over me, and my
mullet was taken by "A tarpon. was
scarcely prepared for him, but at the
semc time prevented his getting too
much line, and tho reel sang the pret
test kind Of song, until he had guhe
about 90 feet, that / ever heard At
this distance he jumped at least 10 feet
out of the water, and, finding | had
him safe, gave him no more slack
whatever. He turned Immediately out
the channel 20 sea against the tide and
continued his rapid gait, jumping clear
Of the water every 100 feet or so until
he had jumped nine times. He kept up
the pace until he had gone 3 miles To-
sea and into very deep water
Il had no control of him whatever,
and he had taken on several occasions
during this outward sea movement
nearly all my limo, at least $50 feet
After this distance he turned TO the left
and went at least 2 miles, until he
got into on 6 feet of water Then
he turned back across the channel and
went on the opposite side of it, probably
- miles After 2la hours he went
back into water 8is or 4 feet deep, and
/ had some hope of getting him into
water where l could gah him. But,
without warning, no turned to sea again
and did not stop until he had gone iS
miles This fish took US around over
the bay for y hours, and distance Of
not less than IL or 3 miles 1 found l
had no control over him, and | knew
/ had him foul in some way, because no
/ pressure that / dared bring TO bear
seemed to turn his head, and when l
got him hroadside toward mo and en-
deavored to hold him would draw him
broadside to me, and not head foremost,
which told me 1 had him hooked some
where in the side.
After had worn out Captain Frank
Marsh, my boatman and myself, and
we had ON several occasions almost de-
cided to cut the line and let the fish go,
we began to have little control over
him, and worked him toward shallow
water. and at G:l5 got him into water
about = feet deep, and the captain goi
into the water himself and worked NJ
to the fish and gated him, as he had {
gaff with a handle about 6 feet long
After he got the gafT into the tarpon h'
drew him toward the boat, and kille,
