SAVED A STACK OF BILLS.
Portland Cashier Got the Drop on a
Burglar.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 2l..-A bold attempt
was made to hold up the Citizens bank
on the east side about 1920 yesterday af-
ternoon, but owing to the courage and
thoughtfulness of Cashier A. w. Lambert
the robber was put to flight without Sc
curing a cent. The bank had Just closed
for the day and Mr.. Lambert, together
with his assistants, was preparing TO put
the money in the vault, when a masked
man entered the front door, which is prob
ably 10 feet from the counter. In his
right hand he held revolver, while with
his left he was apparently holding his
mask close to his face. Pointing to a stack
of bills on the counter behind the screen,
the robber demanded that Cashier Lam
bert hand them out. Lambert started to
pick up the money, but at the same time
secured a revolver from a drawer. AS
soon as the robber saw that he was con-
fronted with a revolver he turned and
fled, but before he reached the street Cash
Ter Lambert fired a shot at him which
passed through his clothing. Dozens OF
people were on the street and large crowd
was attracted by the shooting, but the
fleeing robber soon reached his horse
which was hitched only block away
and mounting it, was soon out of sight.
Some time before the robbery the man
was noticed in the vicinity of the bank
but it was not believed that he contem

RETRIBUTION SWIFT TO COME.
by Chinese Pirates Upon a.
European Settlement.

San Francisco. Jan. 81 - Associated
Press dispatches from Vancouver on the
18th instant contained an account of an
attack by Chinese pirates upon the Euro
pean settlement at Haiphong. The steam
er Coptic, which arrived from the Orient
today, brought full particulars of the muir
derous affair and the punishment melted
out to those offenders who were captured
The pirates first attacked the town of
Haiphong at o'clock on the night of De
cember Is. 1t was fired in four quarters
simultaneously and half of this provincial
capital has been destroyed
The resident and his family and Euro
pean officials were compelled to abandon
their residences during the sortie, when
the troops took shelter in the forts. The
force was too small to admit of meeting
the pirates, who were armed with rifles,
in the open. At Wal Phu Mini Clam
there were no casualties among the Euro
peans, but considerable damage was done
to the town. About 3 o'clock on the
morning of December l6 several hundred
Annamites crossed the river Lachtray in
small bands and converged upon Hal
phong. Shortly afterward several fire
started in the European and native quar-
tiers on the outskirts of the town Re
ports of firearms were heard in every di-
rection, and a constable ran to the bar
racks and gave the alarm. Meanwhile an
other band, about $50 strong, attacked the
village of Ambir. This was headed by an
old man who marched in the center OF
four standards which bore the inscription
"Obey the order of heaven; destroy the
Europeans: eXterminate the dynaNv of
| Ngui Yen and Mae
About o'clock a company of French
troops in two divisions turned out and
charged the rear guard of the pirates with
fixed bayonets. Fifteen of the pirates were
en- to IA hospital
In the meantime the pirates had entered
the house of \. r. Marty and killed his
bookkeeper NJ. Gauthier, after horribly
mutiating him. His seven-year-old child
also disappeared. They then attacked NJ
Dulce, clerk for the Fausse Mining Com
pany, and left him for dead. He was tax
en- to the hospital, however, and may re
cover
On the following Saturday 10 of the cap
tured pirates were executed upon the spo
where Nj. Gauthier was assassinated, an,
after the execution the heads of the pi
rates were placed upon stakes and set VI
i'll front of the house. About 200 Euro
peans and 500 natives witnessed the ex

OPIUM JOINTS ARE PROTECTED
Chicago Police Scandal Has Been
Unenrthed.

Chicago. Jan. 27.-The committee from
the senate investigating the charges
against the police force heard testimony
tending to show that regular police sys-
tenn of protection over Chinese opium
Joints exist Several Chinese appeared
before the committee. but with one or two
exceptions were afraid to testify. Sing
Ting. proprietor of one opium joint, said
that if Governor Tanner or Mayor Harri-
son would guarantee him protection he
would tell all he knew He said within
the past 10 days the police visited all the
opium joints and warned the keepers
against giving testimony before the sen
ate committee. Sing Ting created a sensa-
ton by stating he and Sam May had once
been imprisoned for 10 days on the north
side for talking too much" and that
Sam May had been compelled to leave the
city.
Aloy Tin said that most opium Joint
proprietors paid so week for police pro-
lection He. however, paid but So a
week. The collector, according to Moy
Tin, said that Alderman Coughlin was
the beneficiary.

WAS WON BY MALLORY.
Spokane Men Lose Their Grub-stnke
Suit

Seattle. Jan. 26.-An opinion in which
every miner and prospector is deeply in
terested has been rendered by Federal
Judge Hanford. 1t was in a suit brought
against Thomas II. Mallory by NJ. A.
Cisna and seven other citizens of Spokane
for share in the mining claims owned
by Mallory in the Klondike district.
The principal point involved in the case
was how long does a grubstake contract
last, no limitation being set in the tsrms
of agreement. In deciding the case Judge
Hanford said:
II consider that the contract can not be
fairly construed so as to create any right
of the plaintiffs to property situated in a
distant foreign country,purchased by NAL
lory with his own money more than two
years after the agreement was entered
into. Grubstake contracts will be en-
forced by the courts, but only as other
contracts. 1t is not enough for parties to
assert that they have rights in order to
secure legal protection, but they must be
able to prove in each case a clear and def
mite contract. and by terms and condi-
tons in compliance Herewith, that rights
have become vested
The court concludes by holding that the
showing made by the plaintiffs was in
sufficient and the application for an in
junction pendente lite is denied.

A BIG FIRE IN SPOKANE.
That Five Lives Were Lost.
Together With 100000 I'm
Property.
congress.

Spokane. Jan. 25.-A fire in which close
to 100000 worth of property was de-
stroyed and at least five lives lost, took
place last night. The Great Eastern
block at the corner of Post street and
Riverside avenue, FIVE stories in height
and constructed of brick, caught fire
about ll:45 p. m, and in two hours was
demolished. About 30 per cent of the
loss is covered by insurance, so far as can
be learned.
All OF the upper two floors and part of
the third floor were used for lodging pur-
poses, and at least $50 people were asleep
in the building when the fire started
While most of them escaped with only
their night clothes, it is thought a num-
Der persisted.
The Great Eastern block was built in
1899 at a cost of $25O,0OO. and was owned
by Louis Levinslly of San Francisco. who
carried but $4,000 worth of insurance. On
the ground floor of the structure were the
establishments of John w. Graham & Co..
books, stationery and supplies, and Skier
rett q Donnelly, boots and shoes.
Both are total losses. Graham carried
stock worth 100000, 20 per cent of
which is covered by insurance. The firm
OF Skerrett & Donnelly had stock of
$4,000, of which $4,000 was covered bv
insurance.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been in the engine room. Mrs. Stark
Oliver, wife of DR.. Stark Oliver, who lives
on the second floor, says she heard an ex
Plosion shortly before the aHmes appeared.
The boiler of the engine may have explod-
ed and caused fire to have been set There
is another theory, and that is that chemi-
Gals in the basement, stored there for the
Photographic supply department of John
W. Graham & Co., exploded.

evening from New York bearing the official
report of that commission. He arrived at
New York yesterday morning the cruis-

point and portenLed no immediate crisis"
1t is learned that the Spanish Commission
ers asked until some time next waek in
which to answer the last proposals of the
American commissioners. This time was
granted by permission of the cabinet. The
dispatch sent to Paris is beiievsd to relate
to the American position after the Span
iards have replied. While it is averrsi that
it is not an ultimatunl, it is thought to be
stronger than any ye. sent to Paris.
The President Growing impatient.
There ar. unmistakable evidences that the
President is becoming somewhat impatient
with the delays and quibhlings of the Span
iards. His mind is made up that this coun-
try will take the Philippines, and from
this position there is to be no change. The
Spaniards will have to ascertain this with
out much loss of time OF the rupture which
has been expected may come from this
side The SpaniardS must be made to real
ize that the United States Will pay sum
for improvements in the Philippines and
that this sum is the only question in dis
pute. 1t is among the possibilities that
this sum was fixed in the dispatch to be
sent today and which was discussed this
MOI ming.
1t is thought this afternoon that the note
to be sent TO the American commissioners
will direct them to waste no further time
in argument after the next Spanish note is
received. They will be told to say that the
American position is now absolute and
must be accepted or rejected.
Cienfucgos to Be Opened.
The cabinet decided that it would take
charge of a port in western Cuba and open
it to allow sugar planters and others to get
in supplies and ynachnery to resume their
work. The opening of the port would ma
terially benefit all classes of people 1t is
thought that Cienfuesos will be selected.
The Spaniards Will be Notified of the pur-
pose of the administration, and will be
asked to withdraw their forces by Decem-
Der l. the time when this country will take
charge
The question of sending further rations
to starving Cubans was also discussed. 1t
has been agreed to send to the Cubans
something like a million rations. The de-
tails are TO be arranged by Secretary Al
ger. He will obtain a ship and land and
distribute the supplies. Some of these sup
plies will be distributed from Cienfuegos,
the new port to be taken charge of by this
country. CicnfUegos is connected by rail-
with Havana. and the occupation of This
port by the United States will have siSnif'-
canoe. Once in charge Of American forces,
it could, if necessary. be made basis OF
supplies against Havana If there should be
a renewal of h2stilities.
