OF it," While Mr.. Mckinley was an

which he was almost daily subjected,

MILLER A CLEVER THIEF.
Postofs:ce Detectives Know Him Well
And Have Long Tried For His
CAPTURE,


The capture of Miller, the postofice
thief in Havre a short time ago is re-
garded by the secret service men of
the postoffice department as the most
important of recent years. Miller was
the head of gang of box thieves
who operated all over the country, and
has been taken to Cincinnati for trial.
For two years the authorities hunted
Miller up and down the country and
at last effected his capture at Havre,
where he was acting as clerk for one
of the railroad grading outfits. He is
marked by the department as very
desperate man and that his capture
was effected without bloodshed was
due to the quick and effective work
of Deputy United States Marshal Mike
Wall and The secret service officer
who had followed Miller for two years.
From Washington, d. c., the cor
respondent of the Pioneer Press has
the following to say of the capture:
With the arrest of man named
Miller at Havre, Mont, the postoffice
inspectors have pu~ temporary stop
in the career of gang of letterbox
thieves that has caused them constant
trouble for the past three or four
years. During the past twelve or fif-
teen years there have been several
similar gangs, but this was by far the
most vexatious one. The other men,
bers of the gang were Prentice Tiller
and G. H. Grant. They operated in
New York for three months.
The three disguised themselves in
the uniforms of letter carriers and
opened the street letter boxes, took
out the mail and deposited it in the
regulation sack. It was easy enough
for them to learn the hours when the
regular carriers made their collections
and thus avoid meeting them. The
chances for detection were very
small, or, even if their work should be
observed by carrier not assigned to
that route. it would be his natural pre-
sumption that they were substitute
carriers.
Their presence in city was never
discovered until complaints began tc
come in that letters were missing and
the records showed the letters had
never reached the postofilce. Inspec
tors would be at once assigned to The
case but the men had sought fres1
fields by that time. The letters thu'
procured were carefully rifled and al
money, checks and negotiable papel
removed and the remainder destroyed
! Grant is an expert penman and hi
part of the work was to make th'
checks negotiable by forging the prop
er Endorsements. Miller robbed tn
boxes, Grant "doctored" the check
; and Tiller negotiated them.

BY Associated Press
London, Aug. S.-The house of COM
mons last night discussed vote of $6,-
100000 as a grant in aid of the Trans
vaal and Orange River colonies. Sir
William Vernon Harcourt and others
severely criticised the governments
measures. Mr.. Chamberlain, replying
said he quite agreed. that the govern
ment's first duty was the relief of
the refugees and he declared that
money would not be spared for that
purpose.
1T is also matter of imperial pol
icy," continued the colonial secre-
tary, to give the necessary support
to those of our enemies who come into
our hands. A large sum will be de-
voted to reinstating the Beers on
their farms, and an experiment will be
made in the direction of agricultural
settlements. There is no intention of
confiscation. We have had offers of
land at reasonable prices, and a por-
tion of the vote will be devoted to the
purchase of such land, with a view
of enabling men who volunteered for
the war to settle when the war Is
over"
Mr.. Chamberlain dwelt at great
length upon the native question, which
he described as most difficult and
delicate" He declared that anything
in the nature of slavery ought not to
be permitted, that a revision of the
"cruel and arbitrary native labor
laws" was necessary, and that al
though the natives must be taught te
work, they should have just and hu
name treatment.
