DIAMOND BROKER ROBBED.

Portland, Ore, Nov. 24.-E. F. Low enthal, a diamond broker. of New York, arrived here Saturday evening and registered at the Portland hotel. He was assigned to a room on the ground floor of the hotel, and placed a trunk containing diamonds valued at s10,000 and s20O in gold in the room. MT. Lowenthal states that he left the hotel between 9 and 10 o'clock last evening, and that when he returned he found the trunk broken open and the diamonds and cash missing. De- tectves were immediately summoned, and from a nasty examination of the premises arrived at the following con clusion: A janitor of the hotel had a bunch of pass keys in the pocket of a pair of trousers which were hanging in q closet in the basement. This bunch of keys is missing, and the theory is that the thief, who was evidently well posted as to the basement of the hotel. secured these keys and thus effected an entrance to Mir. Lowenthal's room. It is supposed that the robber, after securing his plunder. made his way through folding door to the base ment, and. placing ladder against the wall of the hotel court on Seventh street. made good his escape

ATTACKED M'KINLEY' MEMORY.
Grand Jury Refuses to Indict the Man
 Who Resented It With Death Blow.

Utica. Nov. 24.-The grand jury, which has been session at the term of the supreme court in Onedia, Madison county, this week, failed to indict Els tellus J. Smith of Onedia. a hop mer- chant, who was charged with man. slaughter in the second degree in hay ing struck John La Violette. a cigar maker. in such a manner as to cause his death from the fall which followed the blow. The affray occurred in One dia on the evening of the death of the late President Mckinley. La Violette had been heard to make remarks of Q character bordering on anarchy
 Mir. Smith heard of La Violettc's talk and his light treatment of McKin- ley's death and upbraided him for his unpatriotic utterances. In a dispute which followed Smith struck La Nio- lette, as a result of which the latter died shortly afterward. The case against MT. Smith was pushed by the Onedia Cigarmakers' union. but popu- lar sympathy was with the accused man, who, it was generally believed. had done his duty in resenting the at tack on the martyred presidents mem ory. The testimony of twenty-five wit nesses was presented to the grand jury but that body refused to indict.

to figure in a public discussion of this affair by name. It was pointed out. however. that the formation of the Northern Securities company was brought about in exactly the same way as was brought about the formation of the first of the trusts the Stand ard oil company. Samuel C. T. Dodd. still at the head of counsel to the Standard, is on record as saying that he was compelled to devise the plan of proprietary company for the Standard interests because the anti monopoly sentiment in various states had put upon the statute books laws which prevented a single control of the various small oil companies by any other means.
 Another interesting phase of the is- sue to which attention was directed in some law offices was that there was provided in the organiza tion of the Northern Securities icompany all the machinery for the formation eventu- ally of a continental union of railroad mana gements. the various lines being brought under one control and con verted into one giant system on a plan analogous to that which brought into effectua1 being the Western Union Tel egraph company. although owing to differing state laws now the plan would necessarily vary from that upon which that continental system was established. With the machinery and some conditions for this result present on the one hand, and on the other an ever increasing output of antitrust legislation-which so far has had very little effect in preventing the orsa nization of gigantic trusts-it was said that the result might not be read flv forecast. The extent of this sugges- ton was reflected yesterday from Chi cago in the guess that this was the initial move in a plan to sell the rail- road companies to the government eventually-a socialistic dream.
 These lawyers, who think that Min nesota may be able to make out some kind of a case in the courts refer for one thing to the fact that the laws of 1S?9 Of Minnesota require all corpora tionS organized in another state to es- tablish an office in Minnesota. with a resident of the county in which the office is situated as a representative of the company, upon whom all service in legal actions may be made, if the com pany is to do business in that state But the friends of the holding com pany reply that that company is not to . do business in that state.
 The Minnesota statute of 1899, how ever, chapter 69, says not only ito do business in this state.'' but. "or to &C., quire. hold or dispose of property. real, personal or mixed, within this state and that the corporation or it's agents
 shall make and file with the secretary of state statement duly sworn to. showing the proportion of the capital stock of the said corporation which is represented in this state.'' And the lawyers or courts, it is said. may have to declare whether this covers in any way the situation in which the North ern Securities company places itself.

DURHAM A DEFAULTER.
Ex-Fire Chief Said to Be Short s3,oO0
 in His Accounts.

New Brunswick. N. J., Nov. 24.-Wil-. liam Durham, former chief of the fire department. who has been missing since last Wednesday,, is said to be q defaulter. The amount will reach S3,- 000 perhaps more. Until his accounts as treasurer of Relief Council, Order of United American Mechanics. and Keeper of Records and Seals of Friend ship Lodge. Knights of Pythias, are strengthened out, the amount of his de- falcation will not be known.
 George Berdine, representing Relief Council. this morning secured a writ of attachment in the Middlesex circuit court against the goods and chattels of MT. Durham, Charles s. Britton, the councillor of Relief Council, made the affidavit upon which the writ was granted, stating that the councils claim is $2.7OO which represents MT. Durham's shortage.
 IL is believed that MT. Durham has been short in his accounts for some time. Matters were brought to a crisis by a loan of S1 400 which the trustees of Relief Council voted to a member. MT. Durham had charge of the relief fund from which this loan was taken. The man who held the trustees order for the money called upon his several times for the money. buy was put of each time. MT. Durham disappeared the morning of the day when the coun- cil was to meet.

MINISTER DENoUNCEs STAGE.
The Rev. Dr. Moore Says No Respect
 able Theater Can Live.

New Brunswick. N. J., Nov. 24.--In cataloguing the amusements of this world which are baneful in their moral influence the Rev. Dr. James Moore, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church of this city, characterized the theater. in a sermon this morning. as a place to be summed.
 No respectable theater can live" he said. unless the stage goes down to infamy. panders to vice and shame. There is not a city either in Christian England or America, to say nothing of the small towns. where it can pay it's way. The manager is after receipts. the cultivation of art is only incidental The actress attires herself in dresses that commence too low and end too short. Either this is because the rna- terial is so expensive or else it is in tended to infiame the passions In either case 1t is grossly indecent. Re form the theater you cannot. The ideal theater is out of the question"

 to Shipping and Property Along shore-The Highest Wind That Anybody Had Seen in Those Parts.

New York, Nov. PA heavy north east gale has been raging along the coast for the past twenty-four hours. The storm set in at sunset last even ing. blowing with great severity all night and was accompanied by a heavy rain. In the upper and lower bay the storm blew with great fury and an un- usually high tide washed upon the Staten Island shores, doing consider able damage to docks. small boats and other craft. The Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad track between Tomp- kinsville was obstructed by wreckage from the pile-drivers and a small schooner which was driven ashore.
 The storm did considera bic damage in the city. Windows in the upper part of the city were blown in and few roofs were taken off. The greatest damage was done along West street. fronting North river. where the ceilprs were flooded. The Rapid Transit tun- mel was also flooded in many places.
 The Western Union Telegraph com pany reports having suffered most in the mountain district near Strouds burg. Pa. Sleet broke down poles and wires for nearly a mile. Some of the Long Island wires are broken. The Postal company reports heavy dam age across the river between Suffcrn and Guttenberg. Both companies eN- pect to have all repairs made by morn ing. The wind here blew from thirty six to forty miles an hour this after noon. The gale sent shipping sourry- ing for shelter and safety. In spite of the dropping of anchors and putting out of additional hawsers many of-the small boats and other craft were Gsm- aged or driven ashore During the early morning hours the ferry-boats had some trouble. owing to the high wind, in crossing the rivers.
 In East river the tide rose 10 a height not even remembered by the oldest inha bitant. Great damage was done on all the islands lying in the river off the Harlem shore. Piers were carried away, bathing pavilions wash ed off their foundation out-houses swept into the flood and washed to pieces in the waters of Hell Gate One of the strangest sights was that of a lighthouse standing off the north end of Blackwells island. Ordinarily. standing out of tide-water, the light house this morning was in the midst of q raging flood. Waves covered with whitecaps dashed about the structure. the platform of the house being built a short distance from the waters sur face. The entire north end of the isl- and was submerged.
