the minority has made it necessary to use

PARR BANK ROBBERY.
Suspicion Strengthened That an Em-
pIoyc Aided in the Theft.

London, Jan. 26.-It is learned that
the cardboard partitions OF the drawer
in the Parr Bank in which the
money was kept, which were torn
out when 100000 were stolen. were
found in lavatory in the bank. This
strengthens the belief that some one con-
nected with the bank took the money and
handed it to an outsider in the lavatory
The writing on the envelope in which the
100000 was returned does not resemble
that of any OF the present clerks.
1t transpires that twenty years ago a
clerk named Peters, who had contracted a
gambling debt, stole e5o0 note from the
identical drawer from which the money
was taken Monday. He handed the
note to a friend in a neighboring pub
lie house and sent him Immediately to
the Bank of England to cash il. This was
successfully done but when the messenger
returned Peters asked him what name ne
had written on the back of the note.
My own, OF course" the friend replied
Peters retorted: "The devil you did. Then
I'm off, and seizing the money, started
at once for Liverpool, where he was ar
rested as he was starting for New York.
Mr.. Disney, responsible official OF the
Bankers Association, says there is reason
to hope that the remainder of the notes
will be returned shortly. He refuses to
explain the reason for his hope
Ii has been ascertained that the re-
turned notes were posted in the west CEN
tral district of London. The fact that
these notes were returned instead of be-
ing destroyed convinces the police that
the thief was an amateur.
The Paris correspondent of the "ChToni-
Gle says that the police there are Coop
Grating with London detectives in the
search for the thief or thieves who robbed
PARIS Bank in London last Monday He
adds that an important clew has been
found at Antwerp and Rotterdam. This
clew involves skilled female accomplices,
one OF whom is likely to accept the alter
native of aiding in the return of the money
to being arrested.
The Daily Telegraph" this morning
prints advertisement inserted by PARIS
Bank. saying: Forty thousand pounds in
large notes have been received with
thanks"
Referring to this the Telegraph says
the packet contained a letter, the terms
of which are withheld, but which included
a special request that the receipt of the
money might be Acknowledged in the Tel
egraph." The advertisement appears no
where else. II is to be assumed that Mr..
Disney's hope for the return of the re-
mainder of the stolen notes is based on
the contents of this letter.

Not only do people admire boldness. but

has had more reason TO recognize their

a wonder he has profted so little by them.
When he was bold and self-assertive he
had a shouting multitude behind him and
criticism was dumb When he became
timid the smallest dog dared bark at his
heels and a Senate minority was cmbold-
ened to fiout and oppose him.
He was ttmid in the days preceding the
war and men swore at him. He was ag-
gressive when war was on and the same
men cheered him and took up their guns
to fight for him. He gave no cause to pa
triots TO distrust the wisdom and justice

DEADLOCK WILL CONTINUE.
Result of Quay's Trial for Conspir-
acy VIII Settle 1t.

Harrisburg, Jan. 26.-There are all sorts
of rumors tonight about a grand coup to
be played by the Quay managers on
Saturday, bu; the promise of sensational
winding up OF the senatorial deadlock does
not seem encouraging. AS a matter OF fact
the best Information in the Quay camp,
as well as in the other camps, is
that the lines Will be maintained as they
are now until the courts of Philadelphia
have settled the conspiracy charges
against Senator Quay. 1t is understood
that District Attorney Rothemyl has fixed
the third week of February for the trial
and has so notified Senator Quay's coun-
sci. II that is the time fixed the chances
of at least one more month of the dead
lock are promising
The McCarrell bill 10 prevent the setting
aside of jurors in misdemeanor cases is
regarded by the Democrats and anti
Quayites as part of the general scheme TO
help Quay, and they will do their utmost
TO defeat it in the House by tacking on an
amendment providing that it shall not
apply to any pending cases. Senator Finn
said tonight that the bill was clearly
drawn in the interest of Senator Quay. The
Democrats will make move to depose
Lieutenant Governor Goblin as chairman
of the joint convention of the Legislature.

UGLY TALK IN MONTANA.
Senator Whiteside, the DAILY Forces
Leader. Unseated.


Helena, Mont. Jan. 26.-The- senatorial
contest now being waged here today fair
ly teemed with sensations. The grand jury
reported. Whiteside lost his seat in the
Senate after a most spectacular speech,
full of bitter charges of corruption and
bribery against w A. Clark; that gentle
man gained one more vote and his cleo
tion is confidently predicted on Saturday.
First came the report of the grand jury
which was convened on the recommenda-
lion Of the Joint assembly that the charges
of corruption and bribery in the senatorial
contest might be impartialy investigated.
In part the report said:
THE evidence introduced before us,
while 1t tends to show that money has
been used in connection with the election
of a United States Senator, has been con-
tradicted and explained in such way
that it would not, in our opinion. war
rant conviction by trial jury"
The attorney general, who is DAILY
man, addressed the court asking for an
other jury, claiming the evidence justified
the returning of true bills, but Judge
Mcintyre refused to grant the request.
Then came the joint assembly. When
Senator Whiteside's name was called he
spoke. He said on a question of personal
privilege that the fiat had gone forth that
this was to be his last day as a senator,
and he proposed to take advantage of it to
further expose the methods pursued by
Clark. He grew extremely vituperative,
saying that the members who had taken
Clark bribes tand he could tell them by
their blOodless lips) would sell their wives
honor and virtue. THE crime OF bribery
stands forth in all its naked hideousness,
and you are ready to embrace and kiss
it." he continued. My Cod what shall be
said of such men as you? Would you
pave the road to the United States Senate
for this fiend incarnate, Clark"
He then accused Representative Carr of
having gone home under pretence of sick
ness to secure money placed TO his credit
as bribe to vote for Clark, and. pointing
to Carr, said:
Deny it if you can; deny it if you
dare"
Carr, jumping to his feet, called White
side liar and perjurer. a personal en-
counter was narrowly averted. Whiteside
continued in this strain for some time.
The speech created great excitement and
threats against him are to be heard on the
street tonight, and DAILY is being bitterly
denounced for resorting to such tactics
to defeat Clark.
The Senate this afternoon. by vote of
IA to g. decided that Geiger, Republican,
had been elected to the seat now held by
Whiteside. Whiteside had one majority
on the face of the returns, while the re-
count by the Senate shows that Geiger has
majority of an equal number. This is
regarded as a great Clark victory, as
Whiteside appeared to have been the Daily
leader in the joint assembly. The ballot
ing proceeded. resulting as follows: Clark
40; Conrad, 80; Grubb. Republican, 10;
rest scattering. This vote shows a gain Of
one for Clark and he now lacks but eight
votes OF election.

The insOlence Of AguinaIdo and his agent
In this country is due to the senseless op-
position Of the Senate minority TO the
Treaty Of Peace. The Filipino leaders are
