Cashier Browns Stealings Reach to
1880 and Not All Unearthed

Cincinnati, November 2O.-The ex-
perts at work on the books of the Ger
man national bank at Newport, KY,
repor tonight hat they have so far
found a shortage of s195, 900 in the books
of Frank NJ. Brown, the missing CASH
Ter and they are not yet through with
their checking.
There have been all kinds of reports
today about Brown having been seen
at Indianaolis, Fort Wayne and other
points since he left st. Louis last
Wednesday, but none of these reports
is believed here, and his whereabouts
are as much a mystery as ever.
The experts today discovered another
plan operated by Brown. When a check
was entered October 31st for s3.45 he
entered as 81, OO3.4 and got the benefi,
of $4,000. On the same date he put q
2 in front of an entry of $3.50 and 81, 00C
more. The experts say thai Brown
credited himself with one. two anG
three thousand deposits when he die
not deposit anything but took out the
amount soon afterward. Brown:
books, experts say, show that he die
not strike for sums less than 81. 900 in
any of these transactions.

NEXT APPoRTIONMENT BILL
No Effort to be Made to Reduce Repre-

Washington, November aO.-Repre-
sentative Hopkins, of illinois. chairman
of the house committee on census,
which committee will have charge OF

tionment OF the house, today expressed
opinion that there would be no decided

resentation of the southern states be-
cause of the Acknowledgement Of ne
groeS. He said that in all probability
the subject would be discussed ut he
thought that, upo the whole. the COM
m1ttee would favor the plan OF basing
representation upon the number OF in
habitants.
Discussing the general subject OF re-
appointment, Mr.. Hopkins said:
THE committee on census will meet
during the first week of the session and
will go to work at once. framing a bin
providing for reapportionment. L
think that a proposition will be adopt
ed which will increase the present
membership of the house. 1t 49, been
suggested that we authorize one MEM
Der for every 1873, GOO inhabitants. That
seems to be the ratio that is in gener-
al among the member of the
committee. This will aus a decrease in
membership in some states while the
representation from other states viii
be increased. On the whole. the prop
osition would entail an increased MEM
bership of from fifteen to twenty MEM

BANK ROBBERS AT WORK
Unsuccessful Efforts to Blow Open a
Bank Vault.

Delaware, O., November pa dozen
professional bank robbers made a des-
perate attempt to secure the contents
of the money vault of Sperry & Warn
staff's deposit bank at Ashley, ten
miles north of here, before daylight to-
day. While nine men stood on guard
holding the citizens at bay with their
guns, three operated the dynamite I'M
der the deposit vault Of the brick build
ing. The banks property is worth
$780, 900 and there was SIS, 900 in cash de-
posits on hand. Four attempts We're
made to get at the cash, but the side
door held to it's combination while the
guards outside were shooting at the
citizens who pressed closely upon them.
Two merchants, first upon the scene,
We're met by the robbers at points Of
guns and told not ito move.
The robbers had stolen a horSe and
spring wagon and a team and surry
from farmers nearby.> The rigs were
in front of the bank ready for flight.
The horse ran away, demOlishing the
vehicle when the men took across the
country on foot The damage to the
bank building, vault and other proper
ty is about one-half it's value.
The gang left a Big Four freight train
and reached Ashley shortly after 2
o'clock in the morning. They pried
open the bank doors without being dis
covered, but the first explosion of dy-
Mantle aroused the town. The robbers
fired as they fled, but no n was hurt.

MORE NAVY YARDS NEEDED /.
For the Accommodation ofOur Rapidly
Increasing Navy.

Washington, November 20.-The an
nual report Of Read Admiral Endicott.
chief OF the ureau Of yards and docks,
submits estimates aggregating S2,i5s.-
$50, OF which 81, 252 $40 is set down for
public improvements. The admiral en-
phasizes the Importance Of having
proper provisions made at an early
date for storing at convenient points
along our coasts, the large number Of
torpedo boats which are now being
completed and put afioat. Attention
is called to the overtaxed condition Of
many yards, due to the rapid increase
in the navy afioat. and the report earn
estly advises an increase in the shore
allotment, hat the land establishment
may keep up with the growth of the
navy on the seas.
Admiral Endicott states that several
of the yards should be considerably in
creased in area and particularly the
yard at Norfolk, Va. Here congress
has authorized the construction of a
new dry dock, which was desired TO be
of the largest class, but h admiral
calls attention to the fact that the only
available space for this purpose is so
limited as to preclude h construction
of a dock of desirable dimensions.
Chief Endicott says that the navy
yards of the country generally are now
in much better condition to meet a
sudden demand. such as was thrown
upon them by the Spanish war, than
they We're when that war broke out.
He reviews briefly the work accom-
plished and the existing conditions at
each yard. The big steel floating dry
dock. the largest in the world, intend
ed for Algiers, La, will be ready for
passage by sea to that place next
spring, and the site also will be COM
plete by the time the dock arrives. AL
of the -four docks authorized by the
last congress are in progress.
Chief Endicott says that with these
docks, the facilities of the navy will
be largely increased, but the increase
in the number of vessels to be handled
will require still more docks than are
now provided for.

anything in the nature of an agree

in line with the Russian project to al

just the indemnitieS. 1t is believed that
this proposition has never commended
itself to the British or the German gov
ernments, and, failing such a reference
of the question of indemnity, it is be-
lieved that it will be a most difficult
task for the ministers at Pekin to reach
an agreement on this subject, particu-
larly in view of the existence of a very
strong suspicion of the motives of some
of these ministers.
This apparent difference in original
purpose between the United States
government and some of the other
powers has operated to prevent a set
Element of the Chinese question upon
the board lines laid down in the state
departments proposition. 1t is true
tina all of the powers subscribed a
more or less reluctant assent to such
proposals as look to the preven-
ton of the partition of China
and the guarantee of an p
door, to all comers, yet it begins to APP
pear from the course of the negotia-
tons that either these promises were
not sincere in all cases or that some
of the makers have changed their
minds as to what shall be done for the
present in China.
1t may be stated, however, regardless
of the endorsements and delays
tina follow from the existence OF this
state of affairs, that the United States
government does not propose to be
driven out of the concert relative to
China at this j%uncture in the negotia-
tons, for, Notwithstanding the wish
cherished by the administration to free
the government from these entangle-
ments at the earliest possible m
and to withdraw u military forces
from China entirely, it has been deter
mined definitely that this shall not be
lone until all proper interests of the
United States in China have been pro-
