outside wall by means of sliding
door, He let rope down and climbed
to liberty The second one followed,
and the guard on the wall discovered
them. He fired at them and they threw
rocks at him, while the third man
climbed over and they disappeared in
the darkness.

ANTI-DYNASTIC PLOT.

IMPLICATED.
King George Appeals to the Gar OF

Hope for . General War--General
Miles Visits Constantine.

LONDON. MAY 31.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says today:
From a Russian source comes news
of conspiracy against King George of
Greece far more deeply rooted than
was supposed. There is indubita BILE
evidence that Premier Ralli and his
colleagues in the cabinet are gravely
implicated in plot to overthrow the
dynasty"
ATHENS. May 31.-King George paid
a visit to NJ. Onou. the Russian minis
ter, Saturday. and after two hours
interview sent long telegram to En-
peror Nicholas, urging him to inter-
vene on behalf of Greece.
Turkeys continued arming and re-
ported Russian preparations, with
other rumors of a bellicose character,
raise the hope that Greece may get
benefit from general European war.
But the majority of the nations.
sobercd by a sad experience, are only
DESTROYS that Europe shall protect
Greece against her conqueror.
There is no reason 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 Serv.an and Bulgarian frontiers
are only intended to replace those
who were withdrawn just before the
war began.
The reports Of alarming anti-dynas-
tic troubles, published abroad, cause
surprise here, as there is no sign of
any such movement, nor is any prom
inent politician likely to commit him
self to an anti-dynastic program. 1t
appears that the Prince of Wales has
expressed his personal desire that
Crown Prince Constantine should come
to London for the jubilee festivities.
and this is regarded as indicative of
English good will toward Greece.

BURGLARS OFFER TO RE-
TURN STOLEN BONDS.
stolen Nineteen Years AGo-Pfoeeeds OF
Blxgest Bank Burglary In the WoF1ds
History-Many Of the Securities Are
Now Worthless.

New YORK, May 31.-Nineteen years
ago the country was startled by the
report of the biggest bank burglary
known in the history of the world.
It occurred Sunday, October g. 1878.
The Manhattan Savings institution OF
this city was robbed of securities esti-
mated at S2,747, 200 and S11 900 in cash.
With the exception of few of the
bonds offered for sale some time ago.
none of the securities have been re-
covered. It was believed that they
had been buried or destroyed.
That the securities are still in exist
ence are known here. A short time
ago negotiations were opened between
men said to represent the burglars and
President Joseph Bird of the Manhat-
tan Savings institution for their re-
turn.
The burglars have made demand
for S5O,OOO, and no questions to be
asked, with the understanding that
the securities are to be handed over in
good shape and that Immediately upon
their delivery the money shall he paid
in cash.
President Bird, who at the time OF
the robbery was paying teller of the
Manhattan Savings institution. said
to-day that $50, 900 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 the amount asked. Continuing
Mr.. Bird said:
MANY of the securities are worth
less to-day, 1 should say. since the
government came to our assistance
some time ago by an act of Congress
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to reissue duplicates in place of
the stolen United States bonds.
There was number of other bonds
issued by cities and corporations, how
ever 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 moneys involved.
Il refer particularly to the Yonkers
city per cent coupon bonds. There
were $l1s,OOO Yonkers bonds stolen,
and out of that amount we have re-
ceived $9S, 100, which leaves $4,000
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 par
ticipated in or were connected with
the robbery were Jimmy Hope. John
Hope, Patrick Shevelin. the watch
man 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.

Railway Are Introd0eoo . New 00eAoo
Of Relief from Ls9islatlos.
That the employees Of the railways
suffer most and most directly by any
diminution in railway revenues is
fact which the employees themselves
in the mass have been very slow to
understand, but it seems as II they
were awakening to the fact at last in
earnest. At intervals, during the last
two years. the employees of certain
states have banded together to make
their political influence felt in oppose
ton to anti-railway legislation. In
Minnesota, in Iowa and in Kansas
among the western states, employers
clubs have done themselves and the
railways good service in the past.
Now, after the bitter experience OF the
last few years, the employers all over
tie country are rising in protest
against the renewed bitterness of the
granger attacks. In several states the
railway men of all classes are fighting
vigorously the various legislative raids
ened. Best of all has been the con-
clusion reached at the union meeting
of the different railway labor orders
at Little Rock, Ark, when resolution
was adopted calling on members Of all
orders to oppose legislation which
would further reduce railway earnings.
In Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio and
other states employees are protesting
with more or less unanimity against
the passage of 2-cent-a-mile passenger
rate laws and similar enactments, all
Of which is very good.
There was time when it was pos
sible for the public and for the rail-
way employees to be, or pretend to be.
ignorant of the real condition of the
railways. There was time when it
was possible to make the credulous
believe that the books of railway COM
panies were kept in such a way that
their true condition was not known,
and that all professions of poverty on
their part were untrue and made for
political effect only That time has
passed. The condition of the railway
properties of the countries is, in it's
general outlines at least, known to
anybody who cares to know it. And
the condition, if not desperate, is at
least seriously critical for the ma
jority of the companies.
There ought to be today not less
than a quarter of a million of men
more in the employ of the railways
than there are. They ought to be there
not only for their own sakes, but sim
ply for the safety of the travelling pub
lie. The railways of the country are
operated today with forces which are
far below the danger line;;" and so
lcEg as the public and the legislatures
maintain their present attitude, it is
doubtful If any possible increase in
business from return of good
times" will enable the companies to
employ the proper number of men
and pay them decent wages.-Railway
