BOLD MAIL ROBBERY.
Drivers OF tho Chicago Postoff1ce Ar.
rested and Confessed.

Drivers OF tho Chicago POstOface Ar
rested and Confessed.
Chicago, June 22.-What is regarded
by POstoffice Inspector James Stuart as
one of the largest and boldest mail 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
postofiCe, followed. Porter made q
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
$50 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 $4,000. 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 postofice only
since June /. and that all thefts were
committed since that time, while the
prisoners were driving their wagons,
makes the scheme one of the boldest
in the recollection of the postoffice in
spectols. The mail was taken in
pouches WHALE being carried in the
wagons from the postoffice to the rail-
road stations and 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 80 soon.

four battalions of the Fourth and Fifth
infantry, Nevada troops and cavalry.
Sent battalion south on a reoonnoi-
sance in the direction of Das Marinas

was reported to be concentrating their
scattered forces. The battalion en-
countered the enemy's force of 2.COO,

impeding it's progress. Wheaton, with
two guns and two battalions. hurried
forward and repulsed the enemy with
heavy loss, the enemy leaving over 100

Enforced last night by battalion Of

ALMOST A FAILURE
Efforts of Peace Conference
in Behalf of Arbitration.
A GENERAL DISSATISFACTION
Tho Other Projects Especially De
sired By tho Americana Are
Irredeemably Lost.

Washington, June 22.-Private ad.
vices received here from a high author
ity are to the effect that the conference
at The Hague probably will be re-
deemed nominally from failure through
an agreement ON an arbitration project
that will satisfy the apparently gen.
eral demand ON that point. but, which,
at the same time, by carefully framed
safeguards, will so narrow the field Of
matter that may or must 60 before the
arbitration tribunal as to make it little
more than arbitration in name. The
attitude Of Germany is said to be only
little in advance of that of some Of
the others in opposition to the plans
submitted. and the disaffection is more
general than appears on the surface.
AS for the other projects that were
especially desired by the Americans,
such as protection of individual prop
erty from seizure ut sea, they have all
been irredeemably lost, according to
this report.

Yellow Fever Serum.

New York, June 22.-pr. Alvan p.
Doty, the health officer of the port. is
much elated over the successful results
of the apartments with serum pro-
duced at his laboratory for the proven
ton of yellow fever. For the past IL
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 yellow
fever patients.

CANADA GIVES AN ULTlMATUM,
Tells England to Choose Between He
and the United States.

Tells England to Choose Between Hes
and the United States.
New York, June 21.-A special to
the Journal and Advertiser from Wash
ington says: Canada has served notice
on England that she must choose be-
tween the United States and the North
American Dominion in the settlement
OF the Alaskan boundary question. 1t
is stated on the highest authority that
this statement represents accurately the
conditions submitted to England.
which has delayed the negotiations
between Ambassador Choate and Lord
Salisbury in the provisional line Of the
modus vivendi.
The position of Canada is known here
officially. The official to whom 1t il
known feels authorized in saying that
there are only two ways out of the
difficulty; first, that Canada will vol.
sntaIilv recede from her demand for q
Pacific tidewater port. or, second. that
the United States shall surrender the
principle laid down by Secretary Hay,
in his tentative boundary line, that
Americans will not grant temporarily
or otherwise any port facilities to the
Canadians. That Canada will yield
is considered by the state department
officials, who have discussed the new
and acute phases of the situation, ~
improbable.
1t is asserted on authority that Eng.
land has been forced to yield to Canada
and that the United States and Eng.
land are wider apart today in the con.
troversy than since the adjournment OF
the high joint commission. There il
also official warrant for the statement
that Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Chamber.
lain, secretary of state for the colonies.
had, until the close of the week. ex.
pressed to Mr.. Choate in good faith
the conviction that an agreement would
be reached. State department officials
are therefore not disposed to criticise
