EXCITING RACE AGAINST TIME
Mail Train From Chicago Carries
Mail for Cnmpunia.

CHICAGO. December 29-The Times
Herald says: An exciting race to make con-
nections with the mails for England is in
progress. A New York Central train is
tearing across the country to catch the
steamer CamDania before she starts from
New York for Liverpool today. The Cam
pania is to leave at II 30 o'clock, and the
train with the New Zealand and Australian
mails left Chicago at 10 o'clock yesterday
with instructions to make an extra quick
trip to get the mails on board the steamer
The special effort Is made because the
mail contains some important documents
from the New Zealand government that
should reach London January S. 1t has
been arranged to have a special tender at
the foot of 4Oth street, North river, New
York, to take the mails to the Campania
The mail cannot possibly reach the sta
ton before II o'clock, at which time the
Campania is advertised to sail The Gu
nard line has decided to hold the ship back
for half hour, and then the vessel will
proceed slowly down the bay until she Is
overtaken by the tender.

VALUABLES STOLEN.
Mr.. John A. Belt Loses Jewelry Valued
at $3.50.

MIR. John A. Belt Loses Jewelry Valued
at $3.50.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
GAITHERSBURG, Nd, December %
Burglars entered the home of Mr.. John A.
Bet between II o'clock last night and s
o'clock this morning and carried off jewelry
valued at more than $3.50. It was not until
this morning that members of the family
were aware of their losses.
An investigation Of the premises was
made, and 1t was discovered that Mr. Belts
gold watch and chain with charm attach
ed, and a boys watch had been stolen
Two valuable gold mementos, one a mas
ter Masons ring and the other a Scottish
Rite ring, were also taken. 1t Is believed
the robbery was committed by tramps, and
the county officers will probably make an
effort to apprehend all tramps now In the
county.
Christmas day a hobo made inquiries in
the neighborhood about the Belt family
and was particularly anxious to know of
their financ al standing. That day a sIouchy
individual called at the house and was
given his dinner. He is now being looked
for, as it is believed ne may be able to
throw some light on the robbery.

GROVE HAD NO MUsTACHE.
Important Question in Identifying
Eddie Cudahy's KIdnaper.

OMAHA, Neb., December 29.-Mrs. J. F.
Connor and Mrs Thomas Gillian, sisters Of
Pat Grove, who live in the country south
Of South Omaha, were brought to the city
yesterday and were In the Office of Chief
Donahue more than two hours.
Mrs. Gillian made one statement which is
considered of value. Two weeks ago Pat
Grove had no mustaehe. Most of the ear
lier descriptions of the light man gave him
a mustache. Mrs. James Schneiderwind
and Mr. Munshaw both said the light man
had mustache. Daniel Burris and Mrs
Thomas Cooper, who live on Grand avenue
and saw the Light man when he came to buy
the horse, now say that the man had no
mustache.
Mary Larson, servant In the Patrick
House, has identified Grove by means of his
latest picture, which shows him without a
mustache. This has been a point in con-
troversy since the abduction. The woman
in the case is still a deep mystery The
police hint that they looking for sew
eral women other than Lizzie Burns who
they declare, is not wanted by them. 1t is
argued that the province of the woman in
the plans of the abductors was to take
care of the stolen child, should one of the
little girls be kidnapped, which the bandits
openly asserted to Eddie Cudahy :. Is their
original intention.

WAITING ON THE SENATE.
Letters to the State Department TO
Reciprocity Conventions.

Letters to the StAte Department to
Reciprocity Conventions.
Numerous letters are coming to the State
Department from business interests In all
parts of the country urging negotiations
with various foreign countries to protect
existing export interests or to secure new
openings for our foreign trade. These LETT
ters often specify the particular markets
which they seek and the opportunities for
expanding trade. The department, how
ever, can make no satisfactory reply owing
to the non-action OF the Senate on the
pending treaties. So soon as the Senate
shall have expressed It's purpose in dealing
with reciprocity conventions the depart
ment will be able to answer these numer-
Gus inquiries and requests. In the mean
time further progress with these conven-
tons Is impractioabie.

II Is recognized by the officials here as
perfectly natural course on the part Of the
Chinese government to ask for explana-
tons of the important points in the agree
ment reached by the ministers at Pekin.
So they are not surprised to hear now that
before blindly accepting the agreement as

CUpation is to continue: whether il is an
absolute condition that the princes are to

On the last point, namely, as to whether
the Chinese princes were TO be beheaded,
our governments position remained unal-
tered. 1t simply demands that the Chinese
government shah inf1ict upon the offending
leaders, whether princes or mandarins or
peasants, the severest possible punishment.
The answers to the Chinese question turn
upon the understanding given to the word
possible" 1t is corceivable that the Chi
