pewey,s welcome at Singapore.

Colombo. Ceylon, June. 24.--The

on board, arrived here at o'clock A.
NJ, from Singapore, saluted the forts
ashore and was saluted by the latter in
return. An aid de-camp representing
the governor of Ceylon, Hon. Sir Jo-

pia at 7 O'Clock in order to welcome
Dewey and Colonel Savage, command
ing the troops, made visit at 10
O'Clock. The visits were returned at
II O'Clock.
Dewey was met at Jettios by a
guard of honor, and, amidst cheering,
drove in the governors carriage to

BOLD MAIL ROBBERY.
Drivers of the Chicago Postoffice Ar

Drivers of the Chicago Postofice Ar
rested and Confessed.
Chicago, June 22.-What is regarded
by Postoffice Inspector James Stuart as
one OF the largest and boldest mai rob-
berries in the history of the Chicago
postoffice was detected today, and the
arrest of Walter Porter and John New
man, drivers of small wagons, at the
postoffiCe, followed. Porter made a
full confession, duplicating Newman.
A large amount of letters, money or
ders and packages taken by the men
were found in their lodging house at
26O South Halstead street. In the pile
were letters, money orders and checks
directed to all parts of the country and
Europe. One check found in the pile
was for $40, while another for a
large amount was sent from Marcus
Daly's bank at Anaconda. The fact
that the robbers had been in the en-
plOy of the Chicago postoffice only
since June /, and that all thefts were
committed since that time, while the
prisoners were driving their wagons,
makes the scheme one of tile boldest
in the recollection of the postoffice in
spectois. The mail was taken in
porches WHILE being carried in the
wagons from the postoffice to the rail
road stations ana back, and it has been
admitted that three sacks were taken
in one day. The prisoners will not
admit that they secured much of value
from their depredations, but declare
they would have been considerably
richer had their scheme not been dis
covered so soon.

Evansville, Ind, June 22.-The coal
strike assumed a serious aspect here
early this morning.
Operators of Sunnysde mine had
imported 30 negro miners from Ken
lucky. and were delivering them at the
mine at 1870 A. NJ. when unknown
parties concealed in the bushes near
the mines opened fire on the negroes.
1t was very dark and stampede fol-
lowed. Some of the nonunien men
responded with revolvers. Many shots
were fred. six men were badly
wounded. James Moore, stockholder
in the mine, was shot in the back, and
is likely to die. Henry Smith and
John Philips, both c)lored. were
probably fatally shot. Ed Geiger, a
merchant: Charles Smith and John
Horsweather. both colored, were each
badly wounded. A riot call was sent
in to police headquarters, and re-
sponses were given. The attacking
party all dispersed.

Neport That Naphtha Launch Was
blowh Up shown to BE False.
New Orleans, June 24.-Captain M.
+. Doulett, of the steamer Indepen-
uence' has brought to the city piece
OF the wreck of the naptha launch Paul
Jones, lost in the Gulf last January.
which throws still more mystery on
that disaster. The Paul Jones was
thought to have been destroyed by the
explosion OF her naptha tank, which
would account for her complete de-
struction and sudden loss of all on
board.
This is now shown to have been a
totally erroneous theory, for the naptha
tank was discovered by Captain Dou-
lett intact and uninjured and still
three-fourths full. at Grand Gazier
island, near Breton island, where the
wreck was supposed to have. occurred.
The tank was brought to the city.
Some 12 feet of the launch was still
adhering to it, and seemed to have been
cut off, indicating that the vessel was
run down in a collision. On the other
hand, the accident occurred where no
large vessels go, and a collision was
well-nigh impossible. The remainder
of the wreck will be brought to New
Orleans from Grand Gazier on the
next trip of the Independence.

Yellow Fever Serum.

New York, June 22.-Dr. Alvah P.
Doty, the health officer of the port is
much elated over the successful results
of the experiments with serum pro-
duced at his laboratory for the preven-
tion of yellow fever. For the past l8
months DR.. Doty and his assistants
have been producing this serum at the
quarantine laboratory. and have inocu-
lated number Of guinea pigs, pre-
viously fed with germs of yellow fever.
For some time the experiments have
been doubtful in their results, but for
the past month or six weeks they have
succeeded in preserving the lives OF the
animals, thus affording sure evidence
of the value of the serum in the pre-
vention of yellow fever. DR.. Doty
saws he will send samples of the serum
to his agent at Havana, where it is ex'
pected it will be used with success in
the preservation of the lives OF yello"
fever patients.

build telephone line from Eugene to
Florence if sufficient inducements are
offele ed. 1t is thought that enough

there were about as many on the Um-

The commissioners have not been
informed of the departure of any large

the preparations of many parties. The
immigrants ave said to be OF an excel

their country by poverty, but by stress
of other circumstances, called the OPP

scribed as not q flight from starvation
or even from prospective want.
"It is simply the departure of the
