BOLD A n ROBBERY.

Burglars Open a Safe With Nitro
Glycerine and Get Away With All
the Currency.
Dresden, Ohio, May o. The local
branch Of the Canadian Bank Of Com
merce was yesterday robbed Of an
amount estimated at $4,000. The
janitor who takes care Of the bank
offices was the first to discover the
robbery. The front doors of the bank
were pried open. Two holes were
bored in the vault door, n charge Of
nitro-glycerine was exploded and then
the inner safe vas attempted. Tile
second door apparently yielded as
quickly as the first and the burglars
gathered up the currency and fed.
The manager Of the bank says they
did not get more than $1,000. The
police report that the amount OF cur
rency stolen was $4,000. and those
who are in a position to know say the
amount is not correct. There is no
clue.

Wausau, Wis, May IA farmer Of

purpose of informing Coroner Dickens
of a strange proceeding in that town
and to demand the disinterment and
examination of a coffin containing the
body of a woman and the bones OF
another unknown person. The wo-
nan came to Frankfort a short time
ago with her husband. Recently she
was taken i'll, and when, at the point
of death, she begged Of her husband to
go upstairs and bring down to her GER
tain bones that she might clasp them
in her arms as she died. He left the
room and neighbors were astonished
to see him return with an armful of
human bones, including a skull, all of
which he placed in the dying woman's
arms. and she wept over them until
her life passed away. When the wo-
man was placed in a coffin her hus-
band put the bones in the coffin with
the body Of his wife and they were
buried together.

New York, May 5.-There will prob
ably be n sensation in Wall street to-
day when the Wall Street Jaurnal an
nounces the formation Of a banking
trust by the Standard Oil interests.
1t will show that the National City
bank, which they control, is lending
$75,OOO,OOO in Wall street, while the
Hanover National and other banks,
also under their control, are lending
over $25 GOO, making a total Of
over $1OO,OOO,OOO. Over % per cent
of the deposits and loans of the asso-
ciated banks of New York are under
the direct control of the same Stand
ard Oil interests. Continuing, the
Journal will say:
"That this power is tending to in
crease rapidly is also obvious. The
instantaneous success OF the amalga-
mated copper subscriptions shows
that there is a general spirit of willing
ness on the part of the public to CO.

be said that there is anything absurd
in it even now in spite of the fact that
it is only a development of compare

survey of the situation certainly seems
to show that the Standard Oil inter-
ests are applying to the business Of
banking in this, country the methods
that have given them absolute control

Lawlessness ON the Streets of the
Zenith City.
Duluth, May 8. = After a peaceful
Sabbath day, broken only by slight in
terruption at West Duluth, the situa-
ton last night became the most criti-'
cal it has been as yet. One a on the
Woodland line, carrying .l6O passeh
gers, was stoned on its way and the
passengers took refuge in the bottom
of the car for safety. 1t was we'll that
they did so, for all the windows in the

struck by a rock. Later a call had to
be made for police to guard a car on
the interstate line on it's way across
the big bridge. A passenger on M Of
the interstate cars had been struck in
the face by a rock and sustained a
great cash extending up to his fore
head. Six officers were sent down in
a patrol wagon and escorted the car
across the bridge.
The business mems committee, ap-
pointed by the mayor to try to settle
the strike by arbitration, last night
mailed it's report to the mayor. The
committee reports that it has been en-
tirely unsuccessful in it's efforts, which
have been made at considerable loss
to private business, and that it does
not believe the employer and employees
can be brought together.

Paris, May 5.-Slowly but steadily
the let is closing around the French
general staff in the Dreyfus revision
Inquiry. Gen. MERCER, who was min
lister Of war at the time Dreyfus was
condemned, on being called upon BY
NJ. de Freycinet. the present minister
Of war, to produce the report slegard-
ing the secret dossier which Lieut..
Col. du Patty de Clam testified that he
had sent to MERCER, replied that he
had destroyed 1t. and he called Gen.
Gonse as a witness to the truth Of the
statement. Unfortunately for MERCER,
Gen. Gonse had already testified be-
fore the court Of cessation that al
though MERCER destroyed the original
he kept a copy. Thus another anti
revision argument has received its
death blow. Gen. Zurlinden. military
governor Of Paris. and others, while
testifying before the court of cessation
attached great importance to h

1t has now been proved that this noti-

Therefore, Dreyfus could not have

New York, May 5.-The Herald has
the following from Manila:
by Carrier Pigeon from the 'FRONT.'
Gen. Hale is pushing the insurgents
toward San Fernando, after a severe
engagement. Gen. Wheaton's brigade
entered Santo Tomas this morning,
the insurgents fighting desperately.
The Americans found Santo Tomas
burning. Gen. Macarthur moved for
ward at 8 o'clock this morning with
the Kansas and Montana regiments
along the railway, and the Utah bat
terry and Nebraska, South Dakota and
Iowa regiments in the right. There
was a severe engagement at a bridge
four miles this side of Santo Tomas,
where the insurgents were found in
force. Summers brigade of Lawton's
command is now advancing north
ward toward Maasin.
The Peace Conference.
Manila, May 5.-There was O, con-
ference lasting two hours between
Mai. Gen. Otis and the ENJOYS who
came here from Gen. Luna bearing q
proposal for a cessation Of hostilities:
Gen. Otis adhered to his refusal to
recognize the So-called government of
for a truce of three. months to enable
end consult with the insurgent leaders
on the other islands. The ENJOYS ad-
mitted the contention of Gen. Otis
that Aguinaldo has little control over
affairs outside Of the Island Of Luzoh.
The question of the release of Span
ish prisoners in the hands of the Fill
ptnos mentioned, Maj. Arguelles said
that he considered them as being in
the same category with the Amerf-
cans, the United States being the sue
cessor of Spain in dominion over the
islands on its requiring by treaty all
Spanish rights and obligations. At
ter the close of the conference with
Gen. Otis the Filipino ENJOYS had a
consultation with the United States
Philippine commissioners.
The ENJOYS abandoned the pretense
under which they came to Gen. Otis
that they represented Gen. Luna, and
they announced that they came. as the
representatives Of Aguinald0 himself.
The two emissaries used all their
wiles to secure a reply from Gen.
Otis to the letter from Senior Mabini,
Aguinaldo's prime minister Of foreign
affairs on the dictator's cabinet, but
Gen. Otis refused to make any reply
Ion the ground. that to do so would be
equivalent to a recognition. of the So
called government Of the Filipinos.
Maj. Arguelez said that Aguinaldo
knew he would be overpowered in
time, but that he would be able to
continue the fight for months, and
that he would do so unless he were
given what he termed peace with dig
nifty. e..
