Imminence of War Between Great Brit
 ain and the Transvaa1.

London, Arpil 12.-The speech of the first lord of the admiralty, MT. George J. Goecshen, at the farewell banquet rendered on Saturday to Sir Alfred Mill ner, the newly appointed high com missioner of Great Britain in South Africa, has produced a great sensation and the imminence of war between Great Britain and the Transvaal is the common talk of the street.
 Referring to the presence of British blue-jackets and marines in South Africa MT. Goeschen said:
 They are there to represent Sir AL fred Milner, and the British power in South Africa. They are the guarantee to him and to our colonists, to the loyal men who support British rule, that this country is determined to maintain it's supremacy in those quarters and that 1t will back it's high commissioner with the power of the British empire"

President Names the Commissioners to
 International BimetaIlic Conference.
 Washington, April 12.-The president tonight announced the appointment of Senator Edward o. Wolcott of Colorado, Hon. Charles J. Paine of Boston, Mass, and ex-Vice President Stevenson, as commissioners to an international mon- etary conference. The appointments are made under the act approved March last, For the promotion of an inter- and by Its provisions do not require confirmation by the senate.
 It has been generally conceded that Senator Wolcott would be made a member of the commission. He has been an active leader in the movement for a monetary agreement and widely known as an advocate of the silver cause. His trip to Europe last sum- mer was generally conceded to be at least semi-official as the representative of the new administration. Senator Wolcott is now serving his second term in the senate, having been elected to that body in 1885. While pronounced bimetallist, he was a staunch support CT of the St. Louis ticket.
 EX-Vice President Stevenson, the democratic member of the commission, though generally known as an advocate of bimetallism was a staunch support CT of Bryan and the Chicago platform. He and Senator Wolcott, however, are said to be in accord on the financial question.
 General Charles J. Paine, who may be termed the minority member, is a re- publican and was a Mckinley man. He is one of the most prominent business men of Massachusetts and is said to be deep student of the financial question While he is classed as a supporter of bimetallism based on international agreement, he is regarded as allied with the sound money faction.

Mrs. Booth Says He Shot Her, but Gives
 No Motive for the Deed.

'Newtown, Conn.,, April 12.-The Bots- ford shooting affray, which nearly re- suited in the death of Mrs. Caroline Booth Saturday, this afternoon took a sudden and unexpected turn when U. w. Futile, the man with whom the wo- man had lived, was brought to this town and locked up on suspicion of having shot Mrs. Booth.
 When pressed for any motive for an attempt on the part of Futile to harm her. Mrs. Booth became reticent but the neighbors vouchsafed the informa- ton that Futile and Mrs. Booth had quarreled much of late.
 No charge has been preferred against Futile as yet, and he is merely held on suspicion pending further investigation. Mrs. Booth continues to improve and may recover.
 Two constables this evening started for Hopeville Junction, which is about ten miles from Peekskill Landing on the New England railroad, information having been received that two tramps are being held there on suspicion of connection with this shooting.

Russian Police Discover Nest of Plotters
 in St, Petersburg.


 London, April 12.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Times says it is stated in well informed circles that another nest of plotters was discov- cred there a few days ago in Serglus street, one of the most fashionable thor oughfares. The police raided private lodging house belonging to a well known Russian prince The raid was made during the night and the police found a secret printing press, with a mass of proclamations and large quantity of other revolutionary litera- ture.
 A number of arrests have been made. Most of the suspects are young persons and both sexes are included. There are no students among those arrested, but there is said to be at least one govern ment official.
 It is understood that the conspiracy is in no way concerned with the labor strikes and it seems probable that there is a recrudescence of the old revolu- tionary movement.

 London, April 12.-Mr. Patrick O'Brien, Parnellite member for the city of Kilkenny, asked the government for information in the house of commons to-day as to whether it did receive any claim for compensation in behalf of Ed ward J. Ivory, the saloon keeper of New York, who was arrested in Glas- gow on September 12 last and who was discharged from custody on January 20 the treasury office having failed to obtain evidence sufficient to convict cause @ dynamite explosion, which brought about his arrest. The first lord of the treasury Mr. A. J. Balfour in reply, said the government had not re- ceived notice of any such claim.
 Answering the question regarding the prospects of the government sending out invitations to bimetallic confer ence, Mr. Balfour reiterated that there was nothing in the situation which would lead him to believe anything was to be gained by Great Britain in taking the initiative in promoting an interna- tional bimetallic conference.
 It was announced that the Venezuela boundary treaty will shortly be rati- fled.

DAYLIGHT BANK ROBBERY.
Two Thieves Hold Up Cashier for ss4 ,O00
 and Escape.

New York, April 12.-What appears to have been a carefully planned rob bery was to-day successfully carried out by two men who entered the Yonk- CTS Savings bank, at Yonkers, at a time when most of the employees were out at lunch, held up Cashier Cobb at the the counter and escaped before the cashier recovered from his astonish ment. The robbery occurred at mid day when there were no depositors in the bank.
 A young man, cleanly shaven, dressed in light suit of clothing, called on Cashier Cobb. He said that his name was Williams and that he expected a friend at the bank. He said the latter and himself intended doing some busi- ness with the bank. He waited for a few minutes and then departed, telling Cashier Cobb that he would return at 2 D. m. MT. Cobb turned to go to his desk to put down the name of the vis- itor As he did so he noticed something in black under his desk. The next thing he was looking into the muzzle of revolver He was the only one in the bank proper. The treasurer was in his inner office
 The man sprang up and told Cobb if he uttered a word he would kill him. The man was above medium height was dressed in dark clothing. He had caUarn1 hI1n6laS of in, ho and with one hand he held them over his mouth, it is believed to hide a moustache. Cashier Cobb was held in such a position that he was unable to get to his desk, where there was a bur glar alarm, which connected with police headquarters. The thieves were evidently aware of this fact, for the man on the inside with the revolver prevented Cobb getting to it and pull ing the alarm. The man backed out of the inner office and went through the iron gate, which was opened, then through the bank hall and down the main steps to the street.
 When Cashier Cobb recovered, the man was fleeing down Hudson street in the direction of the Hudson river An alarm was immediately sounded, but by this time the men were out of sight. They were evidently professional thieves. The amount included one $1,000 bill and two checks amounting to $2O0. The man in his haste to get out of the building left a package of bills amounting to $500 on the floor. Treas urer Williams was in an inside office and so quietly and quickly did the robber work that he did not hear anything of the theft until the cashier reported it to him. Both are old men, The bank is capitalized at $500 900. Near where the cashiers desk stands, the bank is "L" shaped. There was door on the south side which was kept open, and it was through it the men got in.
 It is believed that one robber sneaked through this door while his companion was talking to the cashier on the side of the desk about his supposed friend who intended making a deposit.
 It was not for an hour or two that the robbery became generally known and then the bank was surrounded by a big crowd of curiosity seekers. All the police that can be spared are searching for the two men.
