The Robbery of the EckingtOn Rail-
road Office.
Monroe d. Shenk today pleaded guilty to
breaking into the office of the Soldiers
Home and lexington Railroad Company
the night of the first OF last February, and
stealing therefrom $2O6 in cash and $50 in
car tickets.
In answer to the inquiries of Judge Cole
District Attorney Birney explained that
masked and armed Shcnk overpowered the
night watchman or superintendent, and
then made off with his booty Later, said
with Grace Gooding and one VIM. !. Rob-
erts. Yesterday an indictment was return
ed jointly charging Shenk and Roberts with
breaking into the office and robbing IT, and
the young woman. who claimed to be
Shenk's wife, with receiving the stolen
property. Shenk told Judge Cole that he is
twenty-OEe years of age, that he came here
from Virginia, where his parents live and
that he was at one time conductor on the
read. Mr.. Birney stated to the court that
the woman would probably plead guilty,
and he doubted whether Roberts was with
Shenk at the time of the robbery. Roberts
has, however, also been indicted for re-
ceiving the stolen property. The offense
had, thought Mr. Birney, been committed
by Sherk because ne was out Of work and
bee ause of his love for the young woman.
Judge Cole stated that he wished to con-
slider the matter further before imposing
sentence, and directed that the young man
be remanded to Jail until Saturday next,
when he will impose sentence.

AoiCC Win LEG NcSSclS.
All May He Expelled.
So far as the case of Missionary. Knapp is
concerned, 1t presents no feature of novelty,
and the only point involved on its face is
the old question of extra territorial juris-
diction by our legation in Turkey. The
State Department has insisted upon the ex-
ercise of this right steadfastly. and the
correspondence sent to the present Con-
gress relative to the Armenian troubles
shows that although the Turkish govern
ment has always interposed obstacles to the
exercise of this right, it has generally con-
ceded the point, and 1t is presumed that
the outcome in the case of Mr.. Knapp will
be the same. The more serious aspect of
the matter is brought to light by the re-
newal Of the report that emanated from
Constantinople some weeks ago to the eff
feet that there Is to be general expulsion
OF all foreign missionaries from Turkish
Armenia.
Notwithstanding the reticence shown at
the State Department in reference to this
subject, it is believed that there is some
real foundation for the report. Probably
the reason for the reserve shown by the
ter is to be accounted for by a desire on
its part to avoid giving Offense to another
great power. by making pubic its belief
that this power is really responsible for
that Is the fact, and the story has come
to Washington with every appearance of
verify that the American and other for
eign mission aries are to be driven out from
Armenia only to make room for church
that they do not represent. However, this
Is not to be brought about without the
most earnest resistance upon the part of
our government, and 1t happens that in the
present case the United States has much
better opportunity to consistently make the
issue against the expulsion of its citizens
than 1t would have in the case of other
nations than Turkey.
As general principle, the United States
has conceded the right Of nation to expel
objectionable foreigners from its territories,
but 1t happens that in the case of Turkey
treaty stipulations come to the rescue Of
the missionaries in q roundabout fash
ion. The French government has a treaty
with Turkey explicitly comforting the right
OF their missionaries to reside and work in
Turkey, and as the United States has a
treaty with Turkey including the usual
favored nation clause the contention of our
government is that we have as good right
as the French to maintain our missionaries
In that country, and upon that point the
issue will be made if it should finally come
to the PRONUNCIATION CT the trade of expul-
sion.

DESERTED THE WHITE HOUSE
Measles Causes Hasty Departure for
Woodley.
The Cabinet Meeting Today Postponed
Little Esther Taken Down With
a Mild Case.

The meeting of the cabinet today was
postponed without date owing to the sud
den appearance of the measles in the presi-
Dental household. Private Secretary Thur
ber's children have all had the disease in
regular course, and to prevent the possibil-
ity Of its transmission to the White House,
Mr.. Thurber has absented himself from his
own domicile for the past week and made
his residence at the White House. How
ever this step was of no avail, for this
morning the tell tale eruption suddenly ap-
peared on little Esther Cleveland, marking
her as the first victim at the White House.
To prevent the spread of the disease among
the families of the cabinet officers word
was sent by telegraph to the various de-
partments that there would be no meeting
of the cabinet today, and steps were also
taken to combat the disease in the house
hold.
Hasty Departure for WoOdley.
Orders were sent to Woodley, the Presi-
dents residence out Of town, to put the
place in. shape for the immediate recep-
tion Of the family, and Mrs. Cleveland, ac-
companied by all of the children, left the
White House to make their residence at
Woodley until the disease has run it's
course. Little Esther was taken away in a
separate carriage, and in the hope of con-
lining the disease as much as possible, she
will be secluded at Woodley from the other
CT ildren. Meanwhile the President and Mr..
Thurber will keep house at the White
House until the measles has run it's course
in the family and the mistress and children
may safely return.
The kindergarten Closed.
One effect of the appearance Of the dis
ease was the immediate abandonment of
the kindergarten, which has been so sue
cessfully operated in quarters specially
fitted for the children at the White House.
The attendance was not confined to the
Presidents children, but about dozen of
the smaller children Of the cabinet families
end of friends Of Mrs Cleveland were regu-
lar attendants The teacher, Miss Beth
mann, removed from the White House at
the same time that the family left 1t Is
said that Esther's attack is a mild one,
and will yield to skillful treatment and
careful nursing in due course Of time.

TO WHoOp VI, MCKINLEY.
A Big Anti-Quay Meeting Proposed in
Philadelphia.


It Is learned here that ARRANGEMENTS have
been made in Philadelphia for a big mass
meeting on Saturday night for the purpose
Of whooping up Mckinley. 1t will be an
anttQuay meeting in disguise 1t is prob
able that resolutions indorsing the candi-
dacy Of Mckinley will be passed.
The meeting will be held in the Academy
OF Music. and the presumption is that it
will be under the auspices of the Protective
Tariff League. If the projectors of the
plan succeed as they hope to do, the i'm
preston will be given to the country that
Pennsylvania Is really for Mckinley, and
is held in line for Quay through "boss'
methods
J. Hampton Moore, chief clerk of the city
treasurer of Philadelphia, is at the head Of
this new Mckinley move. He is an anti
Quay leader. David Martin is also sup
posed to be at the back of the scheme
A committee having the meeting In
charge came to Washington a few DAYS
ago, and extended invitations to Gen.
Grosvenor and Senator Sherman to be
present Saturday night and make speeches.
1t ia not known whether either will ac-
cept. but It is thought that they win not,
as 1t would further increase the hostility
of the anti-McKinley men to the Ohio can
didate. Other prominent men have been
invited, and some of them may accent.
Several laboring men of Philadelphia will
make speeches.

Bravery of the Clerk.

Mail Clerk Shugrue showed that in an
emergency like this he could live I'D to
the record for bravery established by mail
clerks in the regular railway mail service

fire and devoid of dignity. but Shuyrue

never thought of jumping off into the
cool air outside He devoted his attention
entirely to looking after the mail intrus:ed

out onto the street away from the flames
A big mail wagon was standing at the
corner, where it regularly meets the mail
car TO turn over matter from the or.hern
sections of the city. AS far as possible the
bags were tossed into the wagon as tbev
were thrown from the car, and in this
way all signs of the fire were QUICKLY re-
moved. fortunately. Shugrue was not hurt.
though he will probably need g rev uni
form, and 1t will take some time for the
smell of smoke to get out of his ncstrils.
While the fire engines were on their way
tne proposition was made to raise the
brakes and let the car run down the grade
to meet them. This would have hem n
novel way of handling fire, to take il to
the extinguishers, but the proposition was
not seriously considered.
When the engines reached the scene II
