1t makes an American citizen
boil with indignation to think that

Of course, denies all completely in
the abduction OF Miss Stone and
shields himself behind the plea
that her kidnapers we're Bulgarian
brigands, but we think it will soon

moving factor. In that case the
United States should consider il
her Christian duty to place the

LOWELL BANK SHORT
4 PAIR OF IT'S TRUSTED
CLERKS
AMOUNT STOLEN IS $115,ooo
Many Valuable Securities Taken by
the Thieves Are Returned to
the Officers of the
Bank.

LOWELL, Mass, Get. A-The loot of
the Merchants National bank by Smith,
its teller, and Swift, its bookkeeper, on
Thursday last, is far greater than was
suspected by those directly connected
with the bank. The securities and mon
eys returned to the directors by Hon.
John c. Burke, counsel for Swift, at 2
o'clock this morning, represented a total,
it is understood, of about $500, CO.,
Mr. Burke tonight said that no agree
ment was entered upon to shield his
clients, for, he added. that would be
Illegal.
Tonight when told that it was under
stood that United States officers were
searching for the men, Mr.. Burke said
it would be useless.
1t is known that Mrs Smith and Mrs
Swift have been in communication with
their husbands since the securities were
returned.
Beyond the bank directors statement
early in the day that the banks loss is
$115C10, there has been no additional
bulletin, although one was expected. The
bank examiner is now at work On. the
books.
It is generally believed the men were
in Boston until this morning, and that
they are now some distance away. Smith
had corresponded with Montreal parties
snd it is thought he has gone there.
The loot from the bank vaults was
RETURNED IN CARPET BAGS.
delivered at the bank very early this
morning after the bank directors had
been in conference at a hotel with Law
yers John C. Burke, of this city, and
Charles w. Bartlett, of Boston, repre-
senting the men.
What the agreement was by which the
| hon cot h10l Ter -,
/ pIunder will not be stated, but the hap
piness of all the bank officers, expressed
without reserve, indicates the seriousness
of the situation prior to the agreement.
| Lawyer Burke, when asked if. his crients
would be in danger of prosecution, said:
| Il know of nothing which would indi-
| cate that the young men will be prose-
| cuted."
| The bank for three days has been be-
sieged with customers, but in every case
accounts were found to be correct. This
makes it impossible, without official
! statement, to ascertain wherein the men
were short in their accounts. Smith was
under $4,000 bonds, but Swift, as book
| keeper, was not supposed to handle
money and so was not bonded.
| Several of the directors have stated
| that they do not expect Smith or Swift
to return here.
DIRECTORS STATEMENT.
| The following is the statement made
! by the directors of the bank:
''The time has arrived when the presf-
| dent and directors of the Me1chants Ma
! tional bank feel that a statement is due
| the public. Certain securities belonging
! to the bank were taken from its vaults
! through the collusion of two of its en-
/ ployes, but have been returned

S294,6O0. Both are intact except a de-
| fciency of $l15,0O0, which reduced the
surplus and undivided profits to s179-

GOODBYE TO CANADA
AND YORK START FOR
HOME
CITY OF HALIFAX CROWDED
Possible That the Visit to New
foundland May Not Be Made,
as the Duke Is In
a Hurry.

HALIFAX, N S., Oct. 21-The depart
ure of the Duke and Duchess of Corn
wall and York from Halifax today was
made the occasion of a hearty demon
stration to their royal highnesses. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 visitors to the city
lined the wharves and water front The
crowd cheered Justify as the royal yacht
passed slowly down the larbor begin
ming her long voyage back to England.
The morning broke cloudy and windy,
in great contrast to the weather which
had prevailed during the royal tour A
snow storm came on just before the
party started, and in this the yacht and
her conveys SOON disappeared from view
1t was shortly after o'clock when the
6rst-class cruiser Niobe and Diadem
came slowly up the harbor, passed and
saluted the Ophir as she lay with the
duke and duchess on board at the navy
yard pier. Continuing the warships turn
ed about half a mile further up the har-
Dor and took up their station in the rear.
In the meantime the royal yacht, amid
the booming of cannon on York redoubt,
was gradually working herself clear OF
the pier The band aboard the royal
yacht played familiar selections as the
distance widened between the white ship
and the pier. My Old Kentucky Home"
and "Will Ye No Come Back Again p
CAME llOdllHS over the waters SnOreWaru,
deeply affecting many in the multitude
The Ophir fouled a large iron buoy
which scraped the ships side from stem
to stern. For some time it appeared as
though the ships propeller might hs
damaged, but by good handling the ship
swung away from the obstruction and in
half an hour after casting off from the
pier the royal yacht was proceeding down
the harbor, the duke standing on the
bridge. TIE Niobe and Diadem brought
up the rear, while the royal yacht was
preceded by the Quail, Pallas, Prosperina,
Neptune and torpedo boats. The cable
boat Nina fired rockets and a royal sa-
lutte was doomed from York redoubt
At $3.50 signal was flashed to the
Ophir from Admiralty house
BIDDING FAREWELL
to the duke and wishing the duchess and
himself a good passage. Lord Minto,
the governor general, Immediately sent A
cable to Joseph Chambef flain announcing
the sailing of the Ophir from Halifax
with the royal travellers
If the weather continues thick it is the
opinion of naval officers that the royal
yacht and the conveys will not call at
Newfoundland, but will sail direct to
England, where his royal hlghness has
pressing enga gements. The duke, in bid
ding farewell to members of the Cana
dian government, was very cordial and
presented them autographs, pictures and
souvenirs.
The crowd in Halifax today was the
greatest in the history OF the city.

NEW HEIR TO THRON E:
DOWAGER EMPRESS OF CHINA PRO-
POSES TO REARRAN6E THE
SUCCESSION
PRINCE TUAN's SON LOSES JOB
New Candidate for imperial Honors
Is Said to BE Named
Petite, and Was
Boxer.

BERLIN, Oct. PA new heir to the
throne will be appointed when the dow
ager empress meets Prince Ching and
several of the viceroy3 at kai-Feng, cap
ital of the province of Mo-Nan, where
there will be a general discussion of the
affairs of the empire. This news is be-
iieyed to be authentic, .as it was received
from high Chinese officials. The pres
ent heir has proved to be dissipated and
uncomfortable. Moreover, his fathers
status as a banished prince makes his
succession contrary to Chinese tradi-
tons. The candidate of the empress is
said to be Petite, nephew of Prince
Tuan, who is intellectually weak. He
participated in the Boxer aggressions
personally leading an attack on the
French cathedral. The reform faction
disapproves of the selection and sug-
gests that the powers oppose it if the
empress wishes to carry it out.
Prince Ching will start about November
from here to act as a grand marshal of
the court on its journey from Kai-Feng.
The heir to the throne is Pu-Chun, SON
OF Prince Tuan. He was born in 1884
In 1855 Prince Chuan, who had become
one Of the most powerful of the ad-
visers of the dowager empress. obtained
the honor of having his son named by
the emperor, and a short time afterwards
Gu Cnun was selected as heir to the
widow of one of the wealthiest Manchu
princes. In the autumn of 1885, when
the emperor was deprived OF all but nom
lnal power, twas announced that Pu-
Chur had been selected as heir apparent
to the throne
1t was announced in November last
that Prince Tuan had fled to Kan-Su.
He is a Manchu of pure descent, is the
grandson Of the Emperor Taouk-Wang.
who died in 1885, and nephew of the
Emperor Hien-Fangs who died in 1861
Prince Tuans father Prince Tun, was
the most likely heir to the throne after
Ia ouk-W Wang's death, but his succeA sic n
was set aside for some reason whien
has not been made public.se
About the middle Of this year Prince
Tuan was said to be fomenting an insur-
rector in Western Mongolia. He was
last reported to be at Ulumsk, in
Turkestan to which part of the world
he has been banished as result of the
part IN which he took in the Boxer up
rising.
