Chicago. Oct 21.-A sensational rob-
berry which netted the perpetrators
$74,610 in stamps was discovered here
when the wholesale department of the
Post Office was opened for business. 1t
developed the fact that robbers had
crawled under the flooring for about
400 feet, bored a hole in the bottom of
the vault, secured the stamps and es-
capped carrying their booty in
wagon.
The work of forming an entrance to
the vault had evidently been going
forward with the greatest patience for
many days. 1t is believed, however,
that the intention of the thieves had
been to enter the cashiers vault in
which there was $350,000 in money and
stamps valued at hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The bottom of the
vault is Of steel one-half inch through.
In this 81 holes were bored until a
space IS inches square had been so
weakened that it was possible to take
out the whole plate with little diff
Guilty. A dry goods box stood over the
hole thus made and concealed the
work of the robbers while it was in
progress.
The robbers drove up to the Post
Office building in a wagon, the tracks
of which could be seen plainly today.
To reach the vault it was necessary to
crawl about 300 feet over odds and
ends of boards which lay about. They
evidently had been carefully studied
for a detective who went under today
without knowledge of locations became
lost and was nearly overcome by the
fn11l ndarS hpfOva aGeiGtanpa
reach him.
OF the $74,61O in stamps taken
$4712 were in postage due stamps
and S2060 in special delivery stamps.
Post Office Inspector Stuart was i'm
mediately notified of the robbery and
Immediately began an investigation.
After completing the search Inspector
Stuart said: 1T was the largest stamp
robbery ever committed in the history
Of the postal service in this country.
Lancaster Ohio, Oct 21-Safe blow
ers made an extensive tour through
this section of Ohio last night, blow
ing several safes, robbing a post office
and a hardware store, and stealing
several horses and buggies. Nearly
100000 in money was secured during
the night.
The robbers began operations in
Pleasantville where Rose Brothers
hardware store was Dotted of cutlery
and revolvers. Stealing a horse and
buggy they proceeded to Junction City
where the Post Office safe was dyna-
mited and $500 in stamps and a large
sum of money was secured. At Nc
Elroy the Baltimore &c Ohio Rail-
road safe was blown. and several hun
bred dollars and valuable papers Sc
cured. The trail was lost at Rushville,
this county. Horses were changed sew
eral times.
It is apparent that the work was all
done by the same party.

Boston, Oct. 21-The report from
Lowell that the missing teller and
bookkeeper of the Merchants National
Bank had returned money taken by
them, was read with interest by John
3. Cunningham, the bank examiner for
this district today and he was asked:
viii it be possible for these men to
have the case shut up, and no criminal
proceedings instituted by returning
these funds?"
The question is rather a broad one"
was the reply. The examiner makes
an examination without regard to the
directors or any other officers of the
bank. If there is any shortage he re-
ports to the comptroller at Washington
and the department of Justice for the
district is notified and criminal pro-
ceedings are brought. OF course there
have been instances where no action
has been taken, the authorities simply
falling to act for some reason or
other.
But the directors of the bank have
no power to make any promises in the
slightest degree regarding freedom
from punishment in case an erring
official makes good either the full or n
portion of the amount taken"

More Compliments 10 Poor Richard.

The Galesburg Mail. which il "A
very good republican paper, il guilty
of the following treason to the state
administration which of course. is
exuberantIy reproduced by the Chi
cago Tribune:
Gov. Yates called his appointees
about him Yesterday and told them
that he feared the party success
would be endangered by the criti-
cisms directed toward his admins
1ratiCn and by the internal warfare
which has been stirred up in the re-
publican party. True enough. but
does the governor ever. stop to figure
out where the responsibility for this
state of things exists?
From the moment ne took office
he has been busy attempting To build
up personal machine. sacrificing
the interests of the party. and. in a
measure. of the state, to his own am
billions and desires. What else than
criticism for and dissatisfaction with
such a policy could he expect ON the
part of the rank and file of the party
for such selfish. unstatesmanlike.
and shOrt-sighted policy?
We believe that most of the gov
ernor mistakes along this line have
been due To bad advice. but. be that
as il may, the causes for the discon-
tent he describes and the danger he
anticipates are traceable directly to
his own doors, and he need call no
mass-meeting to discover them.

of their adopted country. The great
fact that 100000 men of foreign
birth fought for the union should be
emphasized. as IL shows that the for
eigner coming here leaves the past
behind and becomes American in
purpose, inclination and aspiration.
The Army and Navy journal goes
ON To give some additional statistics
which will not fail to- interest and
which suggest no invidious compare
sons. Forty-eight per cent of the SOL
diers in the union army were far
mers. % per cent were merchants. 16
per cent were Iaborers. ; per cent
were professional men. and per
cent were miscellaneous.
Ii is further shown that during the
entire struggle the south had alto

Foreigner and the Flag.

The Army and Navy journal pre-
sents some very interesting figures
concerning the various pationalities.
There were 100000 men on the side
of the north. and of this number one
fourth were of foreign birth. distri-
buted among the various nationalities
as follows: Germany. 10000: Ire
land. 10000: England. including
Scotland. Wales and the British Col
onies. $4,000; making i'm all 100000
foreigners enlisted on the Union side.
1t is noticeable in this connection
that Of all the foreigners who stood
by the flag" during the dark days of
tine civil war. the Germans and the
Irish stand pre-eminent. and if those
were counted of their nationalities
who were only one remove from for
eign born. the proportion of the Ger
mans and Irish would be much
greater. There are those at present,
however. who pose as the ruling
class" in this country, who turn up
their noses at Germans and Irish
men. and bend their knees in ador-
alton TO everything that is English,
you know. even to toasting the king
of that government at their banquets.
of such at present is the kingdom of
the republican party. All honor,
says the Springfield State
Register, to the Germans, the Irish
and their immediate descendants,
who stood so nobly by the flag
