sucossafuI Bank Burglnrg.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct. 12.-The
private bank of Jacob Denherder, al
iceland, was looted by robbers earIT
Tuesday morning and the vaults
scraped clean of all currency except
$1,000 in silver, which the thieves re-
jected as too inconvenient to carry.
Nothing but paper currency and gold
was taken, all notes and securities be-
ing left. Nitro-glycerine was used in
wrecking the vault, and everything
shows the work of professionals. Mr..
Denherder refuses to give out the
amount stolen, but it is believed to
be between $4,000 and $4,000. He
states that he is insured in a company
which protects banks against rob

occurred Monday on board the Nor
wegian steamer Banan, at Reedy ISL
and, in Delaware bay, has been dag
nosed as yellow fever. The Banan is

Philadelphia and Port Antonio. After
the diagnosis by the quarantine Off

The same "FightInE Joe.n

No warrior of the confederate serv-
ice was more noted for his grit as well
as his audacity than Fighting joe
Wheeler Notwithstanding that the
terrible Cuban fever attacked him ear
ly upon his arrival at Santiago and
that he was brought to bed with it, he
insisted upon going to the front. The
surgeons reluctantly carried him for
ward in an ambulance. There the
sound of battle became too much for
him; he arose from the ambulance and
was carried upon litter straight to
the front, where he could direct the
operations of his command. By noon
he had established headquarters at the
extreme front and center of the line.--

A MAGNIFICENT PAesNr.

arade OF 10000 En,gihts Tempiar In wit
messed by IlRlF ~ Million People la the
Twin Cities.
Pittsburg, Oct. 12.-The parade of
the 2Tth triennial conclnve of the
knights Templar is now an event of
history. Whatever had been untici-
pated in the way of gorgeousncss,
splendor and general all-around sue
cess was amply realized, that is. all
but the rain, which was not expected.
But even at that it was the grandest
parade ever held in this city from
whichever view one may take it, In
point of numbers-there were 10000
marchers in line--it easily doubled
similar occurrences of the past, ard
as far as the appearance of the men,
their uniforms, the trappings of their
horses, as well as the perfection of
their movements were concerned,
Pittsburg has never seen anything to
equal il.
Long before the booming cannon
announced the start of the marchers
there was multitude of people
packed together along the line of
march, extending from the heart of
Fifth avenue to Schenly park, dis
tance of seven miles. Not only the
paraders. but also the spectators
made sight the impression of which
will never be forgotten. The num-
Der of onlookers on the streets, in
the windows, on the roofs and in the
reviewing stands is variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000.
At 10 o'clock the conclave had COM
pleted its formation and the march
began, and three hours later the de-
tachment passed the same point. The
rain commenced at 1:30 o'clock and
for awhile it looked as if the parade
might be broken up. but no, the
knights walked along with the same
spirit and displayed the same digni-
fled bearing in the rain as they had
done under the shining sun. The
crowd soon began to recognize this
and the volleys of cheers and applause
hat had been thunderous before, now
burst forth in perfect tornadoes.
Such encouragement could not but
have its effect, and the result was
the line remained unbroken until the
end came.
The arrangements were all perfect.
Streets were roped in and guards com
posed of members of the Eighteenth
regiment, n. G. p. and of Battery B,
who have recently been mustered out,
were stationed all along the line.
Hospital corps had been organized
and accompanied the parade in vari-
GUS places; but fortunately their SER
vices were not in great demand, no
serious mishap of any kind occurring.
Immediately after the parade the for
NAL opening of the triennial conclave
of the grand encampment of Knights
Templar took place in Carnegie hall.
The social feature of the conclave
took place last night at Duquesne
garden. This was the reception ex-
clusively for the members of the diff
ferent Knights Templar commander
les, and no one without a Templar
uniform, except ladies'. was admitted.

AN OFFICIAL DENIAL.
The Commissioner of Pensions Sets at Rest
False Report Concerning the Bureaus

False Report Concerning the Bureaus
Policy.
Washington, Oct. 11.-There has
been wide circulation given to the
story originating AT the recent annual
encampment of the G. A. r. at Gin
cinnati that "the commissioner of pen
sions had called his chiefs together
and instructed them to disregard
totally every application based on
deafness and rheumatism in the adju-
dication of claims for pensions"
The commissioner authorizes the
following statement: First, no such
instructions were given; second, as to
deafness the present medical referee
of the bureau, DIR. j. f. Raub, prom
inent G. A. r. man, says there has
been no change in the adjudication
of claims for deafness since the pres
ent schedule of ratings, which was
approved December 4, 1891, in ac-
cordance with the act of August 81,
1888; third, as to rheumatism, the
present chief of the board of review,
F. d. Stephenson, also a prominent G..
A. r. man, says there has been no
change in the adjudication of claims
for rheumatism since he came to the
bureau in 1869; fourth, there has prob
ably not been a single working day
passed since April l, 1897, that there
have not been certificates issued for
both deafness and rheumatism.
There has been no change in the
laws, therefore no change in the prac-
tice during the present administra-

A Political Forecast.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-The Wash
ington Post to-day presents dispatches
from correspondents in every state OF
the Union, except Maine, Vermont and
Oregon, where congressional elections
have already been held, giving a re-
view of the political situation. The
estimates made by the Post corre-
spondents show that 1865 districts in
the United States will certainly be
republican in the approaching cleo
tion-unless the unexpected happens
and 10 additional districts will give
the republicans majority of the next
house OF REPRESENTATIVES..

A Pennsylvanla Colonel Returns from San

tiago and Promises to Startle the Nation
with HIS Report.
New York, Oct. 12.-The transport
OLDHAM, which sailed from Ponce,
Porto Rico, September 2S, via Santi-
ago, arrived at quarantine Tuesday.
The transport brought $50 sick and
convalescent soldiers and $50 passen-
gers. All we'll on board. After leav-
ing Santiago, where fire in her coal
bunkers had to be eXtinguished, a
fire again broke out in the bunkers
and was still smouldering when the
Obdam reached quarantine. 1t caused
much uneasiness, as the transport
has slowed in her hold large guam
tity of ammunition.
Speaking to Gov. Hastings, of Penn
sylvania, who went down to the OBJ
dam on steamer to see the Pennsyl
vania troops arriving, Col. Gibson
said he had been the means of saving
many soldiers from starving. Gov
ernor," he said, Il have a story to tell
that will startle the country" AS
result of this remark there was a con-
ference between the colonel and Gov.
Hastings, after which the governor
decided to take off the Pennsylvania
soldiers and have them sent to a hotel
for the night.
To a reporter Col. Gibson said: "I
have been in Santiago three months
and in that time L have learned many
things. 1 cannot tell you what is in
my report at present, but you may
be sure that it is very strong. My
duty in Cuba was to look after the
sick and wounded"
did you report to the government
as to what the men needed?"
Il fed them. But for the relief as
sociation many of them would have
starved"
Ralph Harwick, of Dubois, Pa,
member of the Pennsylvania volun-
teers, told narrowing story of the
treatment he and his companions had
received while in Porto Rico.
He said: "The regulars were well
looked after, but the volunteers were
starved. When finally the men were
forced to succumb to the fever and
were sent to the hospitals they were
treated most shamefuIly. Although
delirious we were forced to get out of
our cots to watch some poor brave
fellow dying. Some of the men went
mad under the strain. Only think of
it-delirious men nursing the dying"
Harwicks story was but sample
of the complaints which were recited
by the men to Gov. Hastings.

TO THE YUKON.

Articles of incorporation of the Dawson Trading and Transporta ton company have been filed with the re- cOrder of Pima county. The head and front of this company is MT. R. B.. Dawson of Tucson. He has backed the enterprise to the tune of $25, ,000 it if necessary. Several others of the incorporators are likewise heavily interested.
 The purpose and intention of the company is to do general merchan- disc and trading business betwee I San Francisco and Alaska. They will operate a line of steamboats on the Yukon and carry passengers and transport freight on all rivers in that territory wherever it is possible for a boat to push it's nose
 The steamboat Mary E." now be- ing built for the company, will be the finest on the Yukon river and regular trips between St. Michaels and Daw- son City have already been arranged for.
 The first boat to leave San Francis co will be on or about April 25 and it will reach St. Michaels on or about May 20. Two offices will be manipu- lated. The principal one will be in San Francisco, 129 First street, and the other in St. Michaels. Freight and passengers are now Icing billed for the Yukon
 MT. and Mrs. Dawson will probably reside in San Francisco and will leave for their new home in March.-Citi- zen.

MT. Thomas H. Selby of San Fran cisco has been at the Ford three days, after having made a visit to the northern towns of Arizona. MT. Selby has been in ouch with mining men and mining industries for the past twenty-six years. His present trip is the first he has made to this terri tory in twelve years, and he is as tonished at the changes which have occurred in that time.
 "Your towns lock prosperous even to Williams, which has met with so many reverses in the past six or eight years. The big mills there of the Saginaw Lumber company are some thing Arizona should be proud of. Likewise the thriving town of Flag staff, where the Riordans built up the Arizona luper mills and thereby added to tHN rosperity of the place.
 Wins1ow looks we'll since recent in- novations have been introduced; in fact it never looked better. Jerome is a wonderful camp and bids fair to grow to great proportions. At Prescott met an old friend in Daniel B. Gillette and what he said about the Gold Note at Richenbar, as published III uS hCpuDllCdA 1uCSudy CdA OC lui- ly relied upon. He is not a boomer, hence he has no occasion to distort facts"
 "I hear a good deal about smelter propositions of small proportions" ," said Mr., Selby, 'but such affairs can- not be made a success in any sense. The lars institutions possess every ap- pliance, easy access to fiuxing ores and ,1%rx -II departments; besides they have the drainage of great districts, and this enables them to proceed successfully. It is said that they do not make fair returns. This is certainly mistake, for they could not afford to take any advantage of shippers who have a pretty good knowledge of the class oi Tores they are sending to El Paso or Colorado smelters. I believe shippers can do better by shipping to the large establishments"
 'In the mater of looking after min ing properties I will say that I have in view a visit to Mexico to investi- gate certain propositions, and matters of like nature in Cochise county Other business has been engaging my attention north of the Southern Pa cific.
 ''I like your town and judging from present appearances I think there is a great future for Phoenix. Unanim- ity of action is essential in order to make it the very best city in Arizona
 MT. Selby left for Nogales last night and will visit Bisbee on his return from Mexico, thereafter stopping at Tucson for several days.

Charles A. Dyasp, the locator of the reported rich strike at Santa Rita, is now behind the bars in the Grant county, N. M., jail. He came in from Santa Rita last week and moved a wide swath for time, winding up his brilliant career by passing sev- era1 checks without having a cent on deposit to make them good He will have his preliminary examination Tuesday The Silver City Enterprise is also informed that his big strike at Santa Rita is a fake and that he salted the samples which were taken from the mine.
 The smelters at Bisbee have started up. Only two furnaces will be blown in as the other two are being replaced by larger ones and they will not be in readiness.

''On the contrary, Captain General Blan-
co afirms that General Lees behavior
has always been correct. Nevertheless,
the incident serves to explain the origin
of the i'll will between the two countries.
This is proved by statements attributed
TO Secretary Sherman, by which the

United States that Spain is trying TO pro-

A SERIOUS OBSTACLE.

Gas a matter of fact" says the Watch
man Bapt. of oBston), "the popular lau-
dation of unsectarianism, by men who
ought to know better. is becoming one of
the most serious obstacles to the strength
of evangelical churches. If it is true that
one church is as faithful to the New Tes-
lament ideals as another. and il makes
very little difference where a man en-
lists his personal influence and labor and
support, let US have the courage of our
convictions. and accept the necessary in
ference that there is nothing so definite
and clear in the Christian revelation that
it is worth standing for. Depend upon
it, denomination, sectarianism, if you
please, is practically identical with the
vigor and depth of Christian conviction.
1t has been finely said that the difference
between fanaticism and enthusiasm Is
that the former is intense feeling about
little things, and the latter is intense
feeling about great things. Some denom-
nations are fairly open TO the charge of
fanaticism. Their distinctive doctrines
are not important enough; but that is not
true of leading divisions of the Christian
church. They represent convictions about
great matters. The spirit which makes
unsectarianism its boast is not the spirit
that is swayed by tsrong convictions or
makes great sacrifices for the advance of
the Gospel"
