ward for his capture, was sent to all parts of
the country but no tid.ngs of the missing
prisoner were received until one Cay last win
ter, when letter from BlanZ reached Warden
Wo,fer. B lanZ was then stepping at New Or
leans, and being broken down in body and
spirit he eyinced desire to come back to
prison to serve out the remainder OF his time.
Instead of sending an officer, Ras is customary,
Blanz was permitted to go to the Pinkerton
Office in New Orleans, where he secured trans
portatfon for Chicago. He was met at Chi
cago by messenger, sent there by the man
agement of the prison, and the following
morning was brought back to the prison. He
claimed to have heart trouble, and he was as
signed to light employment in the tailor and
shoemaker's shop, but he hadn't been there
but short time when he became unmanage-
able and was locked up in a crank cell. Later

Der of visitors at the White house to-
day was unusually large. Gen. John

North Dakota, urged the president not
that, as diplomatic negotiati lions be-

with reference to the sealing contro-
versy had been practically terminated,
the bill could avail nothing in further
ing the negotiations and would be an
injustice to sealers of the United States.
The president gave no expression of

If women would only spread the medical
gospel, that a wom8n is united for wife

of child-bearing.

MEXICAN MONEY 81 LEN.
Cargo of the Steamer City of Wash
ingtOn Short.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2O-The reported
robbery of some $4,000 in Mexican
money from the steamer City of Wash
ington during her last trip from Vera
Cruz to this port was confirmed today
The City of Washington belongs to
the New York and Cuba mail steam
ship company. A. G. Smith, secretary
of that company, said today: 1.-The
City of Washington reached her pier
last Wednesday morning and imme-
diately began discharging her cargo.
Among other things there was a con-
signment of 1O3 cases Of Mexican coin
for firm in London. Each case rep
resented about $4,000 Mexican money.
On counting, it was found that there
were only 102 cases, and, when the
bill called for 103, it was apparent that
one had been stolen, either before the
steamer sailed, or since the arrival at
this port. A bundle Of canvas, in
which about 500 of the coin was
placed, was found in the baggage
room, and led to believe that the rob-
berry was committed during transit.
The only keys to the room were in the
hands of Capt. Burleigh and his first
mate, and, as no violence had been
used in entering the place, a skeleton
key must have been used"
