ICEBERGS BESET HER.
Big Liner With Nearly 1000 Pas
sengers Meets Ten.

New York, April 5.-With nearly
thousand passengers from Liverpool the
Cunarder Lucania reached her dock on
the North river yesterday after a some
what temPeStuous voyage, during which
she encountered no less than ten ice
bergs.
reached latitude 41-44 and longitude 5141
west, the lookout reported the first one
dead ahead. AS the reports of the past
fortnight had warned mariners that
large fields of ice and immense bergs
were drifting from the northward in
that part of the ocean the course of the
vessel was changed so that 1t would
run far to the southwark of the course
set for use between January Is and
July 10. Still this precaution made the
navigation of the big liner difficult, for
nine other moderate-sized bergs were
sighted and lodged until the limit of
the drift was passed in latitude ia
and longitude II. AS the first sight
ing of the icebergs happened at IL a.
m. the passengers all got good views
of the mountains of ice which are a
menace to vessels making their way to
this port at this time of the year.
Some of the saloon passengers on the
Iucania were Lieutenant Commander
ColweH of the United States navy, ma
val attache at London; Lord RevelStoke,
who is a partner in the banking house
of Barring Brothers; CalderOn Carlisle,
the Washington lawyer, who for years
has been the legal adviser Of the Span
ish government in the United States;
Professor George Adam smith, ii: =.
Storey and his wife and family and N.
Vert, the English theatrical manager.
Lieutenant Commander CoIwell said
that he was on his way to Washington
on business and would probably return
to England on the Lucania. He said
that he had made arrangements for the
shipment to this country of the torpedo
boat Somers, which nearly drowned two
crews in attempts to cross the Atlantic
just before war was declared with
Spain. The little boat will be brought
over in a ship which will leave England
on ADril 10.

GREAT DAVIS HAND
In Which Labor Is to Receive It's

New York, April 5-The Herald says:
Secretary of the Treasury Gage before
his return to Washington said:
increased wages in New England
is the natural result of the turn COM
mercial and industrial affairs have
taken in this country. The central.
southern and western states are feeling
the impulses which quickened trade in
the east. The response will not be de-
layed- Greater confidence means better
trade; better trade means increased
wages. Prosperity for capital means
prosperity for labor, just as surely as
hard times for one means hard times
for the other.
confidence which had been shaken
by the loud talk of a sociaIistic few, re-
turned and was followed by a revival of
trade. Debts were wiped out; a finan-
ciaI foundation for the future estab-
lished; now comes the day of reward
for intelligent and loyal labor This
final stage of prosperity was somewhat
delayed by the step aside we made as a
affair against offensive neighbOr.
Duty is often unpleasant and some
times expensive but it is never regretted.
Now we have returned to the pursuits
of peace and that prosperity which has
affected every community and every
trade will remain with US for many
years unless we perpetrate some great
national blunder.
" In watching the security market I
have seen millions invested day after
day where a little more than two years
ago capital refused to venture. Still
While l rejOiced at that evidence of
prosperity, it did not give me the salts

price of labor advance. 1t is the pros
perlty OF the masses which means good
times. With every mill and every work
shop open, agriculture at it's best and
new fortunes being extracted from the
mines each day, idleness is now only
a thing of choice. The millennium is not
at hand but peace and comfort is to be
easily achieved -

INA CHICAGO BANK.
a Daring Thief Grabbed $500 In Bills
and Escaped.

Chicago, April 5.-For the second time
within few months a bold and success
full robbery has been committed upon
depositors within the portals of Chicago
banks A sneak thief caused excitement
in the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank
today by suddenly selling $500 from the
hands of Frank Linderman of No. 737
BoSworth avenue, and escaping with
the money.
Linderman called for the police at the
top of his voice just as the thief was
disappearing through the LaSalle street
entrance.
With the money in his pocket, Linder-
man went to the bank to make a de-
posit. AS he approached the teller s
window he took his book and the bills
from the inner pocket of his coat While
he was arranging the currency prepare
tory to handing 1T over to the teller,
his attention was attracted by young
man, who later proved to be a bold and
daring thief.
will you examine this bill and see
if it is a counterfeit" asked the youth
full stranger as he addressed Linderman,
at the same time holding a piece of pa
per money before his eyes.
TN try to tell you." answered Lin
derman, as he placed his hand over his
pile of money lying on the desk. Be
fore Linderman could prevent it the
thief pushed him aside, grabbed the
bills and rushed for the door. The I'M
fortunate man hardly realized what had
happened when the thief reached the
street.
The robbery was done so quietly that
no one in the bank besides Linderman
knew that it had been committed until
after the robber had gotten safely away
from the place Linderman was so over
come with fright that he could scarcely
catch enough breath to give the alarm.
When he yelled for the police every en-
ploye in the institution rushed forward,
thinking that an attack had been made
on the strong boxes.
Several persons in the bank ran to
the doors, hoping to get a glimpse of
the robber as he rushed through the
crowded streets, but he was nowhere
in sight. Linderman Immediately visit
ed Captain Coleman and reported his
loss. Detectives John Brown and Den
mis- Buggy were detailed on the case af-
ter they had taken a meagre description
of the man who took the money.
