%POSTOFFICE ROBBED
100000 in Stamps and Money Reported
to Have Been stolen.

CINCINNATI, March 1.-The Covington,
KY. postoffice was robbed of stamps and
money last night reported to amount TO S2G.-
coo. Tn work was evidently done by men
who had secreted themselves in the stamp
department, as it was possible to do pro-
vided the Waterman who is charged with
looking after the carriers door under the
main stairway neglected his duty. This door
is never closed. Through it thieves could
enter ano secrete themselves behind mail
sacks and see the stamp clerk put away
his stamps and cash when he closed for the
night. The robbery was first discovered by
hiding the large door where mail wagons
reached the building to-day. The thieves
evidently escaped that way. POstoffice in
spectors have taken the matter in charge
Postmaster O. A. Reynolds declines TO say
how much the real loss amounts TO.

menting to-day on the statements made by
the German minister of foreign affairs.
Baron Won Buelow, said to the correspond
ent of the Associated Press: Germany
has for some time felt that the tripartite
government of Samoa does not work
smoothly. The other governments share
this feeling and would like a modification.
There have been various propositions, but
nothing has yet been decided. Baron Won
Buelow'S position was well understood by
the American government before he made
his declaration to the budget committee.
Germany. however, will be satisfied to main
tain the basis of the Samoa act il nothing
better offers. Herr Solf, the successor Of
DR.. Rafael. has called on me. He seems
to be very conciliatory. / have not yet
received from Washington full reports from
Samoa"
Mr.. White denies the statement in the
German newspapers that three American
government representatives have arrived al
Hamburg. The agrarian newspapers, how
ever, fiercely attacked the imaginary dele
gates, who are supposed to have come here
to exert pressure in favor of a new meat
inspection bill.
