FRUITLEsS SEARCH.
Mexican Thieves Not Found
 A Noted Outlaw.

Sheriff Scott White and Deputy Otto Moore returned this morning after . hard jsuit through the county. covering the entirs cOuntry between here and the Mule monntGin', along same to the river, and thsncs beck along the Dragons and it's passes Ia Pearcs, and a roundabout return t:iP. all in e vain erdesvor to catch trace of the herse thieves. Other defUti 2 sleo out net with DC succs.s, anu tie disappearance of the in.it:ves is as eff, ctIve ss if the earth had swallowed them. However the hunt has net cess. q and s trail may yet be struck.
 The Sheriff states thnt the Mexi- cans who belt up Ben Moore, an &C., count of which was publi he'd last evening, were net the same gang a. the Temb.tsne hUrse thieves, although the descriptisrs nearly tally. IL is believed that the hold up party Is none other than a gang of despersdoes headed by Chacon, the Graham county murderer who vas condemned to be hanged and escaped from the Solemonvills jail recently, and on whose heal 6 reward of S70c yet e1- is.s. A posse is out sn the trail ef these desperadoes, but as 1et no hing has been heard from then, and news is anxiously awaited.
 The horse thieves, the SheriH has good reason to believe, are the jail birds who served term, iu the county jail and were discharged, AS already stated in the PkosPECruR. The Lanes sf tive are given ss Francisco Montana and Antonio Luna.

CENSUS DIRECTOR.
S. N. North of Boston Mentioned
for the Place

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The Presi-
dent is considering the qualifications Of
several men for the position of Director
of the Twelfth Census, but as yet has
not indicated whom he may appoint 6.
n. North Of Boston. Secretary of the
National Association Of Wool Manufac-
turers, who was identified with the
eleventh census. and is statistician of
ability, is one Of those whose names are
under consideration.
1t is understood that the directors of
the National Association of Wool Man
ufacturers are loath to relinquish the
services of Mr.. North, and have indi-
Gated to him that they will make it a
financial object to him to remain with
them. Mr.. North has discussed the
matter with the President, and despite
the increased salary offered him by the
wool manufacturers, it is believed that
his final acceptance of the director
ship of the census hinges on the plac-
ing OF the clerical force of the Census
Bureau in the classified service. Mr.
North. 1T is understood, does not de-
sire In the event of his acceptance of
the position to be hampered in any
manner by the distribution of places in
his department.

Corea and Manchuria.

the World - Commands the

Where the Great Battle Be-
tween the Japanese and Chin
ese Was Fought in the Recent

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 21.-The
Russians have occupied Kinchau, north
of Port Arthur.
WHAT THE SEIZURE MEANS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.-Eli T..
Shepard, who has recently returned
from China, where he held an official
position, commenting upon the re-
ported occupation of kinchau by Rus
sia, saiG to-day:
Kinchau is an important walled city
not an open port) at the head of the
Gulf OF Liau Tung, and it commands the
mouth of the river Yaloo, where the
great battle between the japanese and
Chinese was fought, and the other i'm
portant rivers which flow into the gulf.
1t is about equi-distant from the
mouth of the Yaloo and terminus of
the wall of China. 1t commands the
railway system recently constructed
from Tlen Tsin to the Capital of Man
churia, and is of pre-eminent impor-
tance as a strategic position.
The seizure of the point shows that
Russia has practically taken posses
sion of Corea, Manchuria and the Gulf
OF Liau Tung, and possesses a signifi-
canoe which will cause CONSERVATION
among the diplomats in the old world
It's situation is such that its posses
sion practically places Russia in d
position to defy the world"

LOWER RATES OF INTEREST,"
New York Savings Banks Will Paw
but 3h Per Cent.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-With the an
nouncement of the dividends to be maid
next month by the various savings
banks of this city, there is a general
tendency to pay lower rate of interest
than heretofore. a few years ago prac-
ucally all the older banks were paving
interest at per cent. per annum. but
that next year the rate of interest in
many instances will be 31a per cent.
President j. II. Rhoades of the Green
wich Savings Bank said there was q
general feeling, especially up the State
that under the present condition of in
vestment and returns per cent. was. to-,
high, and undoubtedly the bankers
would welcome any general movement
to reduce the rate. Indeed Mr.. Rhoades
has been asked to lend his influence in
this direction. The fact that the rail-
roads could refund their bonds at 3Ih
per cent. showed apparently that saw
ings banks were in many instances Civ
ing a higher rate of interest than condi-
tions warranted. Mr.. Rhoades thought
that ultimately all savings banks would
reduce their rate TO 315 per cent. ani
possibly to 3 per cent

this sum will be remitted by telegraph
early tomorrow morning TO Consul
General Lee for disbursement among

1t is hoped by the Department of
State that the American people will
come to the relief, and promptly, by
subscriptions of money, clothing and
supplies of various kinds. The news
papers are expected to lend a gener-
Gus aid in carrying forward this move
ment. The machinery for distribu-
ton has been provided by the State

American Consuls In Cuba, to give per-
sonal attention to the alleviation of
distress by the distribution of gifts of
the American people.
One line of steamers plying between
New York and Havana, the Ward line,
it is said, has undertaken to forward
any contribution of goods to General
Lee at Havana, and it is believed that
American railroads will do their part
by carrying the goods to the seaboard

YUKON RELIEF EXPEDITION,
SECRETARY ALGER AND MIN
IsTER CLIFTON TO CONFER.
Belief That Canada Will Co-Oper-
ate With This Government
in Sending Supplies.

WASHINGTON, Dec. o7-Secretarv
Alger has received word that Hon. Cyif-
lord Sifton, Minister of the Interior and
j. A Mchenna of the same department
by invitation of Secretary Alger. Will
arrive here tonight to confer with the
Secretary relative to Klondike relief
measures The Secretary originally in
tended to go to Ottawa, but has been de-
TERED by grip, which keeps him closely
to his home.
Secretary Alger hopes by a personal
conference with the Canadian officials
TO arrange for permit from the Cana
dian Government for the United States
army men to serve as guards to the
klondike expedition to pass through
Canadian territory
Another object of the conference is 10
adjust some customs questions that are
involved IN the sending of the expedi-
tons, such. for ins tance, as the remis-
sion of duties on the food supplies that
are 10 be sent in. Another object is to
secure the cooperation Of the Canadian
mounted police, which, 1t is not doubted
VIII be extended, and will be of great
value through their familiarity with the
country through which the expedition
must pass
cablegram was received to-day by
the Secretary from Mr.. Kjelman, the
Government reindeer herder, who is now
in Alten. Norway, stating that he is
busy collecting reindeer needed for the
transportation of supplies TO the Klon-
dixie.
The inquiries made by the War De-
partment in regard to the feasibility Of
securing promptly an adequate supply
of condensed foods is already bearing
fruit, and samples are beginning to ar
rive OF all kinds of vegetable prepara-
tions, many of them put up in compact
and attractive forms. They include all
the component parts of beets. spinach,
turnips. parsnips and other vegetables
Secretary Alger this afternoon received
the following telegram from Captain
Brainard, Chicago: I believe the nu-
tritive value claimed for condensed
foods are somewhat exaggerated be-
sides. these foods are difficult to pack.
and the packages add greatly to the
weight. I deem the most satisfactory
food for Alaska to be bacon, rice. sugar
coffee. tea and chocolate. the necessary
condiments. and a small quantity of
butter and condensed milk. These arti-
eles possess proper nutriment, are easy
10 pack, and, except butter and milk
have no extra weight for packages.
'RRAINARD."
Captain y. L Brainard has been or
dered to advertise Immediately for a
prepared list OF rations consisting es-
sentially of the army rations for 900
people for loo days, q weight approx
mating 10000. These supplies are to
be supplied at Dyea by February lst.
