ROBBERS LOOT
POST OFFICE SAFE.
Operators Overlook Big Roll
of Currency.
THEY LEAVE NO CLEw

This morning when Obed Fell,
the young man at the depot who
delivers the night mail, arrived at
the postoffice, he found the back
door standing open, and further
investigation disclosed the fact
that the safe had been, cracked.
Mr.. Fell at once notified Post
master Rambo, who anxiously hur-
ried to the office. An inspection
of the premises showed that the
man, or men, had effected an en-
trance by prying open the back
door The knob that works the
combination in the safe door was
broken off, and n long handled
hammer was securely tied onto the
knob that throws the bolts, fasten-
ed in such way as to form a lever
1t isn't quite clear as to just how
the doors were opened, but the in
side door was probably opened
with key.
Fortunately for the postmaster
something like six hundred dollars
was overlooked. One wallet was
lying back of the books, but being
the same color as the lining of the
safe, it was not seen, even though
the books were taken out.
One large canvas wallet had the
strap torn off and was open, yet
the pocket which contained the
greenbacks was overlooked.
All that was taken was one reg
istercd package, presumably con
tanning watch, and n limited
number of stamps. The burglars
were either in a great hurry to
finish their job before daylight, or
else were frightened away from
some cause or other.
Developments today show that
the robbers first went to Dave Mus
tard's stone cutting shop, but fail
ing to find the tools which they re-
quired, went over to the Cripple
Creek rould house where they ef-
fected an entrance by forcing open
a window. There they secured the
tools with which they did their
work at the post office.
There is no clew to the perpe-
traitor of the job, aside from the
hammers used in opening the safe.

WAR IS NOT ENDED.

Manila, July While General
Otis still claims that there is a suf-
hclent nnmb mber of troops now in

'Aon, 1t is generally believed here
that more men are needed. The

slider that it was a grand success" she

extended to us by the first ladies of the

'It was pleasure to note the change of
public sentiment toward woman suffrage in
England in the last sixteen years. When
Mrs. Stanton and myself first visited Lon
don it was only the most liberal of the
Liberal party who gave us hearty well
come. There was no recognition OF even
thought given to us by the titled class.
This time we were received by all the Ii
tied ladies, and grand receptions were giv-
en- to US at their palaces"
Miss Anthony went into raptures over
the public and private receptions given to
the women of the council. nearly all of
which she attended. One reception was
given by the Duchess OF Sutherland in her
palace. which is second to none in all Eng

THE BEST COURSE,,TO PURSUE
STATESMAN SHOULD BE
MADE GOVERNOR GENERAL
Authorities subordinated tn Him."
snid General Anderson.

Chicago. July 2l,-"The greatest states
man in this country should be made gov
ernor general OF the Philippines and the
military authorities In the islands subor-
diuated TO him"
Major General Thomas Anderson, com.
manding the department. OF the lakes. to-
day outlined in the foregoing words what
he believed to be the best course TO pursue
In the Far East
General Anderson expressed himself as
follows when asked his opinion as the re-
suits likely TO follow the new secretaryship
OF war, The oXgcncy with which We
shall have to deal at present is with the
Philippines, aud we should bring the best
talent we have. The governor general
should he, FIRST OF all. a statesman. He
should have the dictation OF the course to
be pursued and the military representative
should carry ont the orders of the gov
erpor general implicitly, but preferably in
his own way,
'As It is, General Otis is both civil and
military governor in the islands. Exero!s-
ing both these functions he is the most
absolute arbitrary ruler on earth, the car
of Russia not excepted, The military
power should, in my opinion, be merely u
means OF carrying out the policy OF the
civil administration. Understand that
do not mean this as a criticism Of General
Otis, for he is vested with This dual power
and must do the best he can believe
that the task which he is trying to per-
form is too great for any one man, no
matter how capable he may be.
The man ut the head OF the war de-
parment AT Washington should be one OF
good business executive ability and sound
common sense. The statesmanship is re-
qured on the scene OF action ! have no
mtimation OF any change in the adminis-
tration OF the department under MIR. Root
One thing is certain. however. so long as
General Otis is allowed TO remain in COM
mand. he should receive the support OF the
administration at Washington. An incor-
rect policy carried out with determination
Is usually productive of better results than
policy which on the whole might be bet
ter, but the execution OF which is waver-
Ing.

wisely In the matter OF press censorship.
