MADE A CLEAN SWEEP.
Robbers Loot Jewelry Store in Broad
Daylight.

Baltimore, Nov. 20-Three men
entered J. G. Hubbard's jewelry
store, ID North street, this city, today,
and assaulted the proprietor and then
looted the store. The store is within
a block of police headquarters and
within stones throw of the city hall.
Shortly after 1 O'Clock, Hubbard
says, the men came in and asked to be
shown some diamonds. AS he turned
to get them he received a blow on
the head and fell senseless. An hour
later he was discovered bound and
gagged lying 'on the floor near the
door of his store. Examination
showed that every article Of value
had been removed from the place. 1t
is expected that Hubbard will die. An
estimate of the loss cannot be made
on account of his condition, but his
stock was small,

TO WELCOME DOM PAUL
FRENCH PEOPLE PREPARE TO RE-
CEIVE FORMER PRESIDENT.
Will Be Made Occasion of Great Popular
Demonstration-No Official
Recognition.

Marseilles, Nov. 20-Former Presi-
demo Kruger will probably land here
Thursday, instead of tomorrow. Bad
weather is reported Oh the Mediter-
reanean and the Dutch cruiser Colder
land, on which he is a passenger, may
hug the coast of the Gulf Of Genoa in
preference to heading direct for
Marseilles, so as to avoid the cross
seas. She will thus reach this port
tomorrow evening instead Of tonight.
Every preparation, however, has been
made for Kruger's possible landing
tomorrow morning. The police and
military are held in readiness and the
Boer reception committee has not
made any change in the arrangements
for the reception at the dock. Work
men have been busy erecting fagstaffs
along the water side at La Toilette
and at the water dock, where the
steam launch with Kruger on board
will land.
It is certain that Kruger's arrival
here will be the occasion for a great
demonstration along the route from
the dock to the hotel, which is situat-
ed on the principal boulevard. 1t is
equally certain that the reception will
not be vested with the Importance the
occasion warrants, owing to the
a%bstention therefrom of the project,
mayor and other ~functionaries in their
official capacity. After landing in
France Kruger will probably look
around before issuing his declaration.
There is much talk in Marseilles to
the effect that a demonstration in
which anti English outcries may be
raised, may result in street disorders.
But neither the project nor consulate
officials attach the slightest import
ance to these rumors

LAST SCENE IN AN EVENT
Full CAREER.
OF CHARLIE HOYT
Popular Playwright Succumbs to
Disease Which Attacked
Him Months Ago.

Charleston, N. H., Nov. 20-Charles
Fl Hoyt, the playwright, died at his
residence here at 7:15 O'Clock tonight,
of paresis, from which he had been
suffering for several months.
Ever since his return to Charleston,
after his release from a private asy-
lum at Hartford by order Of the court,
early in August, it has been known by
his attendants and nearest friends that
his condition was critical and that
there was little or no chance for his
recovery, but Hoyt apparently had
SCENE hopeful. Previous to two
weeks ago there appeared to be a
slight change in his condition, al
though he had periods Of oppression.
About two weeks ago his appetite
failed and he had a bad turn, from
the effects Of which he only partially
recovered. Since that time he had
been unable to take any nourishment,
except liquid, but continued to be ur
and around his room until yesterday.
He steadily lost strength and this
morning he suffered a relapse and
became unconscious, in which condi'
ton he remained until his death.
Hoyt had no relatives here and dur
ing his sickness had been attended by
| Doctors Brooks of Charlestown anC

nurses and d.. Davis, who had served
as his valet for seven or eight years

INDIAN AGENT COMPLAINS.
Says Priests Disregard Orders to to Pre-
vent Smallpox's Spread.

vent SmallpOA'S SpIeao.
Washington, Nov. 20-Indian Agent
Getchell, of the Fort Totten, N. D.,
agenc has reported to the interior
department a second outbreak Of
smallpox at and near Rolla, N. d.,
and great restitution of the Indians in
that section. The agent went to Rolla
on the 18th inst. and found five cases
of smallpox. He alleges that two
priests stationed OH that reservation
and at St. Johns near Rolla told the
people that the disease was not small
pox. Notwithstanding requests from
the agency authorities not to hold
church services Oh account OF the
quarantine, one of the priests ignored
the communication and not only held
religious services, but also celebrated
a public marriage. Both the groom
and bride later were taken to the pest
house, To maintain the quarantine
the agent reports would require a por-
ton of the regular army in addition to
the police force, in view of the peo-
pies confidence in the priests medical
knowledge.
The condition Of the people, accord
ing to the report, is bad. Their crops
are nearly a failure and the people
have been prevented by quarantine
from doing the usual work from
which they get their supplies. Sixty
thousand pounds Of pork, also large
rations of beans, coffee, tea, rice, etc..
are asked to be sent at once

HAS A plan
PERKINS TALKS ON SUBJECT OF
REAPPORTIONMENT
Some States May Gain, Others Lose-No
Decided Move Will Be Made
Concerning South.

Washington, Nov. 20-Represent-
alive Perkins OF Illinois, chairman of
the house committee on census, which
committee will have charge of legisla-
ton affecting the apportionment of
the house, today expressed the opin-
ion that there would be no decided
effort during the next session Of con-
gress to decrease the congressional rep
resentation of the southern states be-
cause of the Acknowledgement of
negroes. He said that in all probable
ity the subject would be discussed,
but he thought that upon the whole
the committee would favor the plan of
basing representation upon the num-
Der of inhabitants. ISL, w.
Discussing the general subject of
reapportionment, MI. Hopkins said:
THE committee will meet during the
first week of the session to frame a
bill providing for reapportionment. I
think that a proposition will be
adopted which will increase the pres
ent membership of tile house. It has
been suggested that we authorize one
member for every 1913, 900 inhabi-
tants. That seems to be the ratio that
is in general favor among the members
of the committee. This proposition
would entail an increased membership
of from Is to 20 members.
According to a calculation I have
made hisre-apportionment would add
members to the house from New York
and Illinois, and perhaps other states.
States like Nebraska and Maine might
lose members by the proposed law.
Some Of the southern states might also
suffer from the proportion aged upon,
although to what extent cannot. now
| be aScertained.' ,

TAKES FAVORABLE COURSE.
Russian Physician Talks About Illness
M of Car,

st. Petersburg, Nov. 20-A medical
practitioner of high standing in the
city, who is not connected with the
state service, after analysing the bull
letines from Lividia, told the cores
pondent of the Associated Press that
the illness of the czar had taken an
unusually favorable course.
apparently, he said, "there is
more anxiety abroad than there is in
Russia. This may be due largely to
the statistics Of typhoid mortality in
this country. But these are mislead-
ing. The great mortality with us is
due to defective care. Russia has only
one physician to every 10000 inhabi-
tants. Furnish here one to every
500 as in the United States and the
results, with equal care, would be
equally as favorable as anywhere else"

GRAIN D MEET.

Indianapolis, Nov. 20-At the open

were present, representing all of the
states and territories. Secretary
treasurer Chas. H. Clark, strongly adj
vocated the removal Of the documen-

SENSATIONAL ATTEMPT TO
LOOT OHIO BANK.
USE DYNAMITE AND GUNS
After Repeated Efforts to Blow Up
Building They Fire Fusilade
Of Shots and Leave.

Delaware, o., Nov. 2o-Twelve
professional bank robbers made a des-
perate effort to rob Sperry & Warn
staff's deposit bank at Ashley, 10
miles north of here, before dawn to-
day. While nine men stood OH guard
holding the citizens at bay with their
guns, three operated dynamite under
the. deposit vault of the brick build
ing. The banks property is worth
$50, 900 and there was $l5, 600 on de-
posit. Four attempts were made to get
at the money, but the safe door re-
fused to yield, but the property was
damaged about half its value. The
men fired as they fled, but no n vas
hurt. The men were masked.

NOT SO

ST.. Paul, Nov. 2O-The bulletin
issued by DR.. A. J. Stone tonight con
corning Senator Davis was less favor
able, showing as it does that the
periods Of lucidity are becoming less
frequent and the mental alteration
more marked. The bulletin is as fol-
lows: "Senator Davis mental aber-
ration has been more marked and con-
tinuous this afternoon and evening.
His temperature tonight is 80; pulse
1903 and respiration 80. The amount
of urea excreted in the past few days
has averaged one-half of the usual
quantity. For the past "a hours it
has been a little less than that"

Tucker and the officers and directors
are without authority. The clerks of
the bank who are working with Re-
fuckers experts say that today
they discovered another plan Of opera
ton by Brown. When a check was
entered October 81 for $3.45 he
entered it as 80, OO3. as, beneftting to
the extent Of 81, 900. The same day
he put ''2':.in front:of an entry of $3.50
and got 81, 900 more. The experts
say Brown repeatedly credited himself
with 81, 900 to So, 900 deposits, when
he did not deposit anything, but drew
money soon afterwards.

HIS SHORTAGE INCREASES.
Experts Unearth More Of Cashier Browns
Work.

Cincinnati, Nov. 20-The experts
working on the books of the German
National bank at Newport, KY, report
that they have so far found a shortage
of $195, 900 in the books of Frank M.
Brown, the missing cashier, and they
are not through with. their checking.
It was reported today that Brown had
been seen at indianapolis, Fort Wayne
and other points after he left st.
Louis last Wednesday, but none of
these stories are believed here and
the whereabouts of Brown are as
much of a mystery as ever No re-
ward has been offered fol. him.. as the
bank is in the hands of Receiver

O q MUCH DAMAGE.
Further Particulars of Tornado's Work
in Mississippi.

Memphis Nov. 20-Meagre reports
from along the line of the Illinois Cen
trail in northern Mississippi, show that
the tornado wrought much damage.
Thirteen persons are reported killed
between Love station and Coldwater.
The tornado made its appearance at
about $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon and
swept everything in it's path. Trees
were uprooted and fences and out
houses were levelled TO the ground.
Telegraph and telephone wires are
down all over and details are lack
ing. At Coldwater several houses
were destroyed. The daughters Of
John Guy and John Dancey were sew
erely injured. A negro child was
killed three miles north of the town.
The cyclone passed from southwest to
northeast and struck Batesville about
4 O'Clock. Several houses were demol-
ished there, and seven persons were in
iured. The Methodist church was IN
rooted.

CONTINUES
Cashiers Shortage Does Not Cripple
the Bank.

.."..I.n IAC 0dAA Fl @
Springfield, Vermont, Nov. 20-The
National Bank of Springfield was do
ing business as usual today, apparent
ly having suffered in no way from the
$40, 600 shortage in its funds, alleged
to have been caused through a trans
action Of its cashier, G. L. Slosson.
The cashier was at the bank as usual
and it is understood that on account
of his long period of service and the
action Of his bondsmen, who have
made good the loss, he will retain his
position pending an investigation.
So far as known there was little in
tention to attribute criminal negli-
gence to the aged cashier. The assist
nee given by Slosson to his son, Of
the failed brokerage firm of Knott &
Slosson, was secured by a deed to real
estate which was considered good.

HONORABLE CAREER ENDED.

New York, Nov. 2O-Kear Admiral
Roger N. Stembel, retired, died from
pneumonia today in the Fifth Avenue
hotel. He would have been 80 years
of age next month and with the excep-
ton of Thomas G. Selfridge, the elder,
had more years of life and service
than any man in the ranks of rear adj
miral. Rear Admiral Stemble had a
record for gallant service in the civil
war. He made his home in Washing
ton, passing the summer at Narragan-
sett Pier. It was his custom both in
going and coming to stop for a month
or two in this city and for many years
he had been a familiar figure to pat
rons OF the Fifth Avenue hotel. His
wife met with All accident several
weeks ago, breaking her leg, and she
had been unable to go to Washington.
