DESPERATE ATTEMPT.
burglars Make an Attack
Bethesda Post Once.

There was a desperate attempt yesterday
morning about 2 o'clock to rob the post
Office of Bethesda. Md, but fortunately the
attempt proved unsuccessful. The post Of
flee of the village is located In the store of
Mr.. Wilson, who conducts a typical coun-
try establishment. His clerk sleeps in the
morning by the sounds of some person
and nothing could be discerned with any
degree of distinctness. Slipping on his
clothes and taking q shotgun, the clerk
proceeded to investigate. Just as he reach
ed the store room on the outside of the
counter he saw the body of man moving
toward the door, the individual evidently
becoming frightened by the slight noise
made. Bringing the gun to his shoulder,
the clerk fired at the retreating figure. The
midnight marauder was fortunate enough
to escape, and the charge of shot scattered
all around number penetrating the stove
pipe and cutting 1t in two. The robber had
a confederate on the outside, and at the
and fired at random in the store in the eff
fort to hit the clerk. The bullets pierced
the door, and struck various things in the
place, knocking off the entire end Of a cot
ton box. but all went wide of the true
mark. The bullets were from a 81 caliber
revolver, and would have played havoc If
one had struck the clerk.
An investigation revealed the fact that
the robbers had gained access to the place
by boring hole with an augur through
the front door. Nothing was missed from
the store. and the thieves had evidently
frightened them OF. It was too dark to
see whether the men were white or not,
and as no clue was left, 1t seems hardly
likely that they will be apprehended.

Announcement mt St. Petersburg That
Ii In Excellent.
LONDON. January 2s.-A dispatch to the
Telegraph. dated at St. Petersburg last
night, says:
Count Vorontsoff Daschkoff minister of
the imperial court, authorizes me to affirm
in emphatic terms that the health of the
czar is excellent, and that his majesty re-
ceives the government reports daily, takes
his usual walks and makes his accus-
toned visits. He has in no way changed
his routine of life during the last few
weeks
Grand Duke Michael is. however. suffer-
ing from a serious attack Of Inflammation
of the lungs. according to the correspon-
dent Of the Telegraph. His eldest son has
been hastily summoned from the Cau-
casus region. The empress dowager pays
daily visits to the Grand Duke Michael
and 1t IS expected she will continue to do
SO during his illness.
A dispatch to the Daily News from Ber-
lin, quoting from the st. Petersburg letter
to the Leipziger Nachrichten, makes
statements that throw additional light
upon the troubles of the czar This cor
respondent of the Leipziger Nachrichten
says that the czar suffers from nothing
more than ordinary boil. complicated
with nervous affection, due to the Incl
dents accompanying his accession, court
political struggles and numerous intrigues.
These disputes are ostensibly over the
financial schemes proposed by H. DeWitte,
Russian minister of finance. This really
amounts to struggle for ascendency be-
tween the old Russo party and the progress
sists. So warm was the discussion at a re-
! cent council meeting that the czar broke
down entirely. tears gathered In his eyes,
and he buried his face in his hands and
| cried:
DO what you like. 1t is all the same to
me"

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Many Visitors atthe cKinley Dwell
ing.
HANNA FAVORED FOR THE SENATE
No Authoritative Expression Re-
garding Lyman j. Gage.
THE NEGRO

CANTON, Ohio. January 2S.-Visitors at
the Mckinley residence this morning were
nume rous and Major McKinley's time was
thoroughly occupied with gentlemen in the
south parlors and talking to Mrs. Mckin-
ley. in Chicago, by telephone. There were
several from Ohio who called. Among
these were State Senator James r. Gar
field. son of the late President Garfield
Mr. Garfield was closeted with the major
for some time.
Messrs. G. w. Garfield and Vim. Cor
nelius of Youngstown were also callers.
They are prominent iron and coal men Of
Youngstown. and while in the city called
on the President-elect. Mr. Garfield said.
in reference to the report that Governor
Bushnell had under consideration the ap-
pointment of Lieut.. Asa Jones of Youngs-
town senator to succeed Mr.. Sherman,
that not much reliance is placed in it.
He said that the sentiment all over the
state was for Mr.. Hanna for senator. The
gentlemen said they were not here on any
political business. neither for themselves
nor any one else.
Mr.. j. T. Bradford of Baltimore, Md,
called during the morning. He is here to
meet Bishops Arnett and Handy of the
colored clergy. These gentlemen. it is I'M
derstood, will ask the incoming admins
tration to recognize the colored people in
patronage. The bishops will reach Canton
at O'Clock. via the c. c. and s. railroad.
MIR. Alexander Butts, formerly of this
city. was in Canton this morning and made
a pleasant cali on Major Mckinley. Mr.
Butts Is on the editorial staff of the Kansas
City Star.
The Talk About Gage.
There has been no authoritative expires
sion here to Mr.. Lyman j. Gage OF
Chicago being rendered the treasury port
folio in President McKinleys cabinet or
his arrival in Canton today. The first an
nouncement of Mr.. Cages coming to Major
McKiEley's home was from Chicago, and
with 1t the opinion grows steadily that
there are mary reasons for Mr.. Cages ap-
pointment.
II is believed that since the Associated
Press announcement of the consideration OF
| his name, Mr.. Gage has met with grea
| favor among the conservative business mer
| among all parties from all sections in the
country. As near as be learned the
| expressions of opinion which have poured
| in here have indicated that MIR. Gage is q
| man held in great esteem among thu
| masses of the people, and that his persona
/ popularity dissipates objections that som'
| people have entertained against a banker
| for the position
| The opinion here Is that there is an al
| most unanimous public judgment that Mr.
| Cages superior ability for the place can
| not be questioned. and it is these matter:
| and not any authoritative utterance ,ha
| has SO strongly crystallized the sentimen
4 that Mr.. Gage will be selected.

MIR. LIyTON's CASE.
He May Make . Contest in the Next
House.


The friends of Representative Linton In
the House are taking a good deal OF inter-
est in the contest pending before the legis-
lature over the seats Of the democratic
members elected to the legislature from
Saginaw, Mr.. Linton's home town. Tho
contest before the legislature Is being
pushed on the ground Of gross frauds in
the county OF Saginaw, and the vote OF
the county Is now being recanvassed. 1t
is said that II these alleged frauds are
sufficient to seat the republican members
over the democrats now holding the seats
that they will also affect the election OF
Mr. I-inton's opponent. While Mr.. Linton
has not filed a notice of contest In the
matter, and had decided not to make
contest, his friends declare that IL this
newly discovered evidence. as II Is legally
put, Is of sufficient nature they will try to
open the matter at this late day. Mr.. Lin
ton carried three-fourths of the counties
of the district but was defeated in his
home county, the total majority against
him In the district in favor of Brucker. his
opponent, being S31 votes. II the recan-
vass of the legislature shows fraudulent
votes to a greater extent than that it may
be decided. as stated. to attempt contest
anyway. Mr.. Linton declines to talk about
the matter. but Is very much interested in
the efforts Of his friends In Michigan.
