THAT MISSING MONEY BOX.
Detectives Unable to Unearth Any
Tangible Clue.

| SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-Nothing
new has developed in the mysterious
robbery of $4,000 from the strong box
of the steamer Alameda, which arrived
| from Australia last night. The detec-
| tives have SO far been unable to I'M
earth anything tangible The officers
of the steamship company are at loss
| to account for the theft, and seem in
clined to believe that the money was
stolen after the steamer left Sydney,
and was sent ashore at Auckland,
though they have no particular reason
for this belief.
The robbery is the most inexplicable
that the local police have ever encoun-
tered, but they have not given up hope
of eventually landing the guilty per-
sons, or at least of giving the Aus
tralian authorities such aid that they
can apprehend the thieves, if they are
on Australian soil.
The London, Paris and San Francisco
Bank, to whom was shipped the 49,
600 soyereigns from which the 5000
missing sovereigns were distracted. to-
day refused - receipt for the balance
of the money until they are assured
that the shortage will be ma ; good
by the steamship company 1t is I'M
derstood that the company will do this.
A similar robbery occurred on the
steamer Oceana on the Australian
China route some years ago, and it is
suspected that the same thieves robbed
the Alameda Twenty-Five thousand
dollars were stolen from the Oceana iii
exactly the same manner as from the
Alameda-that is to say, the box con-
tanning the coin was removed mys-
teriously and the seal replaced

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3--It seems

LONDON, June 3.-The representative

had with the Marquis of Salisbury, at

ted dispatches from the officials at
Washington, who have considered the
points raised by the Canadians in the
boundary dispute. These are treated

to submit the Alaskan question, and
second, the American view of the LYNN

A prominent foreign official said Can

be accepted by both parties, and that
the fifty years valid title clause will be
made the base of negotiations, in which
case they will practically proceed on the

DOlSJeTeQ up the corpus uCifSil, WHICH
was somewhat cripp1edssby the failure
to establish the fact THAT it was human
blood found in Colonel Fountains
blackboard through Professor Crosson
yesterday, by the evidence OF Captain
Thomas Brannigan, an old scout, this
morning. He told that there was evil
dence of the party having carried a
heavy object on horse and deposited it
ON blanket at night. This was given
foundation yesterday by evidence Of
the trail of a bloody blanket. Tracks
of child's shoe were light, only one
foot and two to four feet apart, as if it
had been made with the shoe on a
hand.
Il measured tracks of three men
about the bloody camp and at the other
camps along the trail of seven horses
from this point said the witness, land
the next day found tracks on Lees dirt
roof exactly like one, having the heel
run over, l had found in the camps.
l preserved the measurements. When
McNew, who was originally charged
with completely, came to Las Cruces a
short time later I waited for chance
and measured his tracks These gave
the same measurements as one of those
about the camps. The tracks of Lees
horses also correspondent with those of
the largest horse on the trail from the
bloody camp
On cross examinat ton of Captain
Brannigan, fruitless attempt was
made to show that Major Llewellyn and
others We're prosecuting Lee and Gill;
land. The witness could not be shaken
and after two hours fire of questions,
was released. Brannigan, while on the
stand, said he could tell some things

enemy of Major Llewellyn Of the Roug IL
Riders who is the most important wit
ness for the State yet to come, he hav-
ing led the searching party and directed
the investigation Of the murder of Col

Major Llewellyn was called this after
noon, but counsel decided they could not
finish with him and he will go on Mon
day Others were called to testify as
to suspicious actions of Lee and Gill;
land. and the attorneys got into a warm
discussion as to. the competency of the
evidence of a conspiracy between Nc
New and Charles Lusk.
The latter's testimony was to the eff
feet that McNew declared enmity for
Colonel Fountain, near the place where
the trailing party We're baff1ed by a herd
of Lees cattle being driven over the
trail of the party going from Foun-
tain's last camp. McNew was impli-
Gated in the murder but was discharged
before Lee and Gilliland We're appre-
hended Colonel Fountain disappeared
while returning from their prosecution
for stealing cattle. The evidence was
admitted Humphrey Hill testified
that Colonel Fountain feared assassina-
ton on account Of the enmfty of par
ties indicted for cattle stealing.
The court ordered testimony as to the
cause of this fear stricken out
Lusk, who is Deputy Sheriff, then told
Of a conversation with McNew, Quoting
him as follows: Fountain told some
parties he had no hope of convicting

Utica, N. Y, June 2, 1899.
Answering your request for a state
ment in reference to the Speakership
contest, accompanied by your state
ment that Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois had
withdrawn in favor of Mr.. Henderson
and that the Illinois delegation had de-
cided to vote as a unit for Mr. Hen
derson, have only to say that assum-
ing both statements to be correct, AMI
that the entire Illinois delegation has
decided to follow Mr.. Hopkins to Mr..
Henderson (and both statements are
only assumed); also that Mr.. Hender-
son has the entire Wisconsin and IN
diana delegations, also certain support
in other States, Kansas, Dakota and
elsewhere. he is still over twenty votes
short Of a majority of the Republican
membership of the Fifty-sixth Con-
gress.
Unless a current report with refer
ence to Ohio is correct, I have not lost
the support of a single member upon
whom counted. Mr.. Henderson is
not yet selected as the Republican
choice for Speaker.
so far as 1 am concerned, 1 have
striven to eliminate sectionalism from
this friendly contest. Whoever is
chosen Speaker, it will be unfortunate
if the selection be based upon sectional
lines, or be even remotely the result
of any process or deals.
I am certainly still candidate.

accord with my party and with the ad-
ministration. JAMES S. SHERMAN"
