Now. we have nothing TO say as to the

This case. we always leave such things

are willing to concede to others what
they ask for themselves in politics and

to believe that the defendant was beng

so much so it could be felt, like Egypt

larity on the part of the commissioners
in drawing the jury, which justified the
court in setting aside the regular panel.
Pink Rowe, Deputy Sheriff, who is a
Populist, then summoned jury OF
twelve men to try the case. Of the

1t would seem that a jury without any
Democrats was enough to satisfy the
most fastidious. But no. This same coun-
sci made an unmerciful attack on the
witnesses. Judge McCorkle settled the
account with the gentleman, and we are
content 1t is encouraging and refreshing
to know that the jurors of our good old
county can still be depended on to try
cases on the evidence as they see it, no
matter to what political party they may
belong.

BURGLARS ASK $4,000
FOR THE RETURN OF SECURITIES
VALUED AT NEARLY $3,OOO,OOO.
Greatest Bank Robbery in the World
Recalled by an Offer to Restore
Part of the Plumber.

NEW YORK, May 3O-Nineteen years
ago the country was startled by the report
of the biggest bank burglary known in the
history of the world. 1t occurred Sunday,
Oct. 27, 1873. The Manhattan Savings In
stitution of this city robbed of Sc
curities valued at S2,747, 700 and 81, 900 in
cash. With the exception of a few of the
bonds. offered for sale some time ago, none
of the securities has been recovered. 1t
was believed that they had been buried or
destroyed That the securities are still in
existence is known here A short time ago
negotiations were opened between men said
to represent the burglars and President
Joseph Bird, of the Manhattan Savings In
stitution, for their return. The burglars
have made a demand for $4,000, and no
questions to be asked with the understand
ing that the securities are to be handed
over in good shape and that Immediately
on their delivery the money shall be paid
in cash.
President Bird, who at the time of the
robbery was paying teller of the Manhat-
tan Savings Institution, said to-day that
$4,000 had been asked for the return of
the bonds and although the bank officials
would like to get them back he declared
they would not pay that amount. Con-
tlnulnS, Mr. Bro SAID: Many OF the Sc
curities are worthless to-day, l should say,
since the government came to our assist
ance some time ago by an act of Congress,
authorizing the secretary of the treasury
to reissue duplicates in place of the stolen
United States bonds. There were num-
Der of other bonds issued by cities and cor
porations, however. Some of these are due
soon and of course, we would like to have
the originals, as it would make it easier
for us to collect the money involved. /
refer particularly to the Yonkers City
per cent. coupon bonds. There were $l18,-
600 Yonkers bonds stolen and out of that
amount we have received $9S 900, which
leaves $20,0 900 due
Mr.. Bird stated that he believed the offer
to be made in good faith and the case has
been placed in the hands of the banks
counsel. Those who participated in or were
connected with the robbery were Jimmy
Hope, John Hope, Patrick Shevelin, the
watchman of the bank; William Kelly,
Peter Emerson, alias Banjo Pete;" John
Nugent, a policeman; Eddie Golding, alias
Eddie" Goodie; John Tracy and Johnny
Dobbs. OF these Jimmy and John Hope are
living in this city. The others are all
either dead or in prison.

REBELLIOUS CONVICTS.
UnruIy Prisoners at San Quentin to
BE Starved Into Submission.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.-The riotous
convicts in the San Quentin Penitentiary
caused no serious trouble to-day, but they
are still defiant and vaguely threaten that
they will yet compel the authorities to
yield to their demands. Warden Hale is
convinced that the backbone Of the strike
has been broken and says that he will soon
starve the unruly men into. subjection They
are closely watched and the guards are in
structed to instantly suppress any attempts
at organized disturbance. During the reg
ular exercises to-day some of the conVicts
not implicated in the strike, but sympathz-
ing with the leaders, pelted the dors of the
dungeons, where the men on short ratiOns
are confined with potatoes and pieces of
bread, and in this way managed to give
them considerable before the very eyes of
the keepers. Shouting and hammering on
the doors was continued all day, but those
who approached within hearing distance
were greeted with the vilest curses. The
men declare they will never submit to dis
cipine again and the prison officials are
fully aware that 1t will be a difficult task
to restore tranquility. Warden Hale de-
clares that there is no foundation In fact
for the complaints regarding the quality
of food served. He thinks this charge is
merely pretext for the convicts refusing
to work in the jute mill and positively de-
clares that having quelled the first out
break he is now master of the situation.

LONDON, May 31.-The Berlin corre-

From a Russian source comes news of a

far more deeply rooted than was supposed.
There is indubitable evidence that Premier
Rali and his colleagues in the Cabinet are
graYely implicated in a plot TO overthrow
the dynasty. The Kolnische Zeitung says
that Greece will be compelled to pay
large indemnity, to reduce her army to 20,-
900 men and to give up her fleet"
The correspondent of the Times at Con-
stantinople says: The Sultan has ordered
the official censors to suppress any sympa-
thetic allusion to or anXieties concerning
the Greek royal family, or to mention the
Improvement in Greek funds. The police
in the Galata section of the city have been
ordered to arrest all persons dealing in
Greek securities"
The Athens correspondent of the Times
says: Turkeys continued arming and re-
ported Russian preparations with other ru-
mors of a bellicOse character raise the
hopes of some of the Greek newspapers
that Greece may yet benefit from a general
European war, But the majority of the
nation, sobered by a sad experience, is only
desirous that Europe should protect Greece

to fear that either Bulgaria or Servia will
abandon the policy it has followed thus
far. The Turkish troops who have been
sent to the Servian and Bulgarian frontiers
are only intended to replace those who
were withdrawn just before the war be-
gan. The reports Of alarming anti-dynastic
troubles published abroad cause surprise
here, as there is no sign of any such move

Wales has expressed his personal desire
that Grown Prince Constantine should
come to London for the jubilee festivities,

good will toward Greece"
The Athens correspondent Of the Stand

Nicholas urging him to intervene on behalf
