A Bold HOldup.

Spokane, Sept. 4.-The first gambling
house holdup IN Spokane since the excit-
ing clean out of the lie Roi a year ago
happened at 3:45 o'clock Sunday morning
in Harry Green's hall over Alladio's res
taurant. Two masked men with four
heavy caliber guns robbed the place OF
about $l70O in gold, silver and bills. They
escaped unmolested through the rear hall
ways and by the back entrance.
In their flight they were pursued by
Merchants Policeman Richard Gemmrig.
On Brown street, between Riverside and
Sprague avenues, and on Sprague between
Brown and Bernard, u fusillade OF more
than dozen shots was exchanged between
the officer and the highwaymen. On
Sprague avenue near the corner Of Ber-
nard, Gemmrig fell to the pavement with
bullet through his groin. He was con
veyed to the Protestant hospital, where
he now lies in serious condition. While
hopes for the best are entertained, there
is grave fear that his wound will prove
fatal.
One Of the two highwaymen was cap
tured few moments after Gemmrig was
shot. His place of hiding in clump OF
bushes in a vacant lot on First avenue
near Bernard street was surrounded by Of
ficers. Having thrown away both his guns,
he surrendered and Vas pulled from his
hiding place by Patrol Driver Freeman,
who had joined in the chase.

MEETING Of The Cabinet.
PLANS OF PRESIDENT MKINLEY
The Future OF the New Colonies-Secre-
tary Roots First AttendHncs-Presi-
ident schurmann ::Present-Hsd Hop
ful-Gsneral Otis to be Changed.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The cabinet to-
and variety of matters, which have ac.
cumulated during the presidents absence
were discussed. 1t was Secretary Roots
first attendance. The other members
present were Hay, Gage, Hitchcock and
Wilson.
President Schurman Of the Philippine
commission was also present by invitation
and made comprehensive statement OF
the situation in the islands. 1t is under
stood that he will soon make a statement
to the press which will cover his obser-
Yation in the islands, and later he will
make a formal report TO the president
covering the subject in detail.
1t is understood that Schurman takes a
hopeful view of the situation in the Phil.
ippines and has no doubt that with our
increased forces we will be able to make
comparatively very short work of Aguin-
aldo and the insurgents. Although the
work of the anti-imperialist league has
had no considerable influence among the
soldiers in our army, Schurman said it
certainly had given great encouragement
to Aguinaldo and his followers.
The subject of relieving Otis from part
of his duties as head of both the civil gov
ernment and the military forces was not
mentioned at the meeting, although there
is a growing impression that he may be
put at the head of the civil government
and relieved of responsibility Of military
operations.

Many Spanish prisoners are escaping
from the Filipinos and bringing into the
American lines stories Of hard treatment
They agree that the Filipinos are exceed
ingly short of rations,a and that large Sec
tion of their troops is reduced to the use
OF homemade black powder.
The unknown woman who registered at
the Lindell hotel in Hastings, Neb., as
Mrs. w. l.. Lee, and who died Of poison
in the hotel, has been identified as Miss
Laura Lee French of Burlington, Ia, and
it is almost an assured fact that the dead
girl was murdered and did not commit
| suicide.
The steamer Caribee has arrived in New
York from Barbados with 80 of the 30
passengers of the Lamport and Holt
steamer Wordsworth from Rio for New
York, which put into Barbados with her
engines disabled. The head of the low
pressure steam chest was blown out, in
stantly killing Archibald Thomas, the
chief engineer.
Sunday a carpenter named Vanguilder,
living in the southeastern part Of Salt
Lake City, gave his two children, a girl
and boy, heavy doses OF morphine and
then shot the girl through the head, kill.
ing her instantly. He afterward shot the
boy through the head, probably fatally,
! and then killed himself. 1t is believed
the man was temporarily insane.

Columbia Win. Again.

Newport, r. l., Sept. 3.-The first Of the
formal trial races between the Columbia
and Defender for the purpose Of select
ing a yacht to sail against the Shamrock
in defense Of Americas cup resulted in
so decisive a victory for the new boat that
were 1t not for the fact that it is desirable
to have her race as much as possible, other
contests would seem almost useless. The
yachts sailed one Of the regulation 10
mile windward and leeward courses in an
eight-knot breeze that increased on the
beat out and hattened out on the finish,
and it took the Columbia just six minutes
and 40 seconds less time to cover the dis
tance than 1t did the Defender.

London, Sept. 3.-Judging from sur
face indications an altogether new phase
seems to have come over the Transvaal
crisis. The tables have been turned and
now 1t is Joseph Chamberlain, the secre-
tary of state for the colonies, who pro
poses further conferences. In this and
other respects the official negotiations pre-
sent more pacific aspect than last week,
But with the bare exception OF these ne
gotiations every other circumstance points
to war. Whether, as has been suggested
in these dispatches, higher powers than
Mr.. Chamberlain have intertered in the
interests Of peace or whether the secretary
has taken leaf out Of the book Of Presi
dent Kruger, Of the Transvaal, meaning
procrastination, can scarcely be determin
ed at this stage.

Rennes, Sept. 3.-Elation is the only
word that expresses the feelings Of the
Dreyfusards after Saturdays proceedings.
The tide has turned at last, they say, and
Dreyfus cannot be condemned after the
evidence given. The spirits Of the Drey-
f,isards are quite mercurisl. Every day
since the opening OF the trial has seen
them rise or fall. Recently they have been
falling heavily, the close Of the morning
sessions generally finding them in anx-
ious conversation, accompanied by omin-
GUS shaking Of their heads. Today's
buoyancy, therefore, is all the more note
worthy. Friday was fairly good day,
but Saturdays session, they claim, put
the verdict out of doubt and the judges
must aequit Dreyfus.

Humor of the Iron Market

The people who traded their old lamps
for new ones with an eccentric mer-
chant and were immortalized in the
arabian Nights" no doubt thought
themselves sharp in their day and gen.
Grafton; but some modern bargains beat
that. Some eastern railrad companies
last year contracted for new steel rails
at ST ton at the mill. The rails have
been delivered and laid, and in one
case, at least, the old rails which they
replaced have been sold at 500 to S2S
per ton. 1t is not every day, nor every
year, when railroad company can thus
get premium on new track, which
pays all cost of freight and relaying and
leaves a neat profit besides; but this is
an actual case. 1t is one of the humors
of the iron market.
