Stiffness Of the sea was something mar

only by the rushing Of the water

lady Caraven sat on the deck; the
0tewardeas had advised her to go to
the ladies' cabin, but she declined.
Why seek the close warm cabin while
the stars were shining on the sea?
The captain had brought a comforta-
BILE seat for her; she had a warm shawl.
"A faint hope stirred the young wife's
heart; perhaps, when Lord Caraven
saw her there alone, he might come
and talk to her.
She saw him once or twice. Once
he asked her if she enjoyed the beauty
OF the night, and her answer was
Yes" then, as though he had full
filled duty, with an air of relief he
walked away. She was left to her
thoughts-and they were strange ones.

and bent her face over the starlit wa

Express Package Robbed of $4,000.

New York, Oct. 17.-W. II. Bren.
dell. collector of customs at Buffalo,
N. Y, has been in this city recently
in consultation with the sub-treasury
officials and secret service officers over
the theft of over S., 600 from an ex-
press package containing $1,000 con-
signed from Buffalo to the sub-treas-
ury president. The original package
was filled with $1,000 in bills of the
same denomination as were in it
when it left Buffalo. Certain pin
holes had been made in the covering
at Buffalo: and when the package was
again filled these pin holes, which
had penetrated two portions of the
covering, were found to fit exactly.
The package was carefully traced,
and it was shown that it had not been
tampered with from the time it was
receipted for by the express company
until it was delivered at the SUBJ
treasury. 1t was also proved that it
had been receipted for in good order
at the sub-treasury, and that the
seals were unbroken. After the ex-
pert examination the secret service
men are inclined to think the pack
age was tampered with after it reached
the sub treasury and had been re-
ceipted for.

Government Employees Are Evidently
Implicated.

Gallon, O., Oct. 1.-THE vault of
the Farmers & Citizens bank at Tyro,
small town near here, was wrecked
early today by six, robbers, who Sc
cured the contents and escaped. 1t
is said the vault contained $40, 900.
The cracksmen used nitro-glycerine.
The doors of the vault were blown
completely off and the building par
TALLY demolished. The terrific ex-
plosion woke the people of the town.
All who approached the bank, how
ever, were driven away by the rob-
bers, who were armed with rifles.
Mayor Mcconnell attempted to enter
the bank but was fired on by the rob-
bers and compelled to retreat. Hav-
ing obtained their booty, the cracks
men went to livery stable, where
they bound and gagged the owner.
They then took several rigs and
drove rapidly away. A posse and
blood hounds are on the trail of the
robbers.

MAJORITY AGAINST STRIKE.
Result Of Coal Miners Referendum in France
1900 For, 10000 Against.

Paris, Oct. 16.-The result of the
coal miners referendum on the ques-
tion of general strike is that a, 600
voted in favor of general strike and
10, 900 cast their votes against it.
About ITO, 600 men did not vote. The
announcement of the result makes
it extremely doubtful whether the
long talked-of strike will break out
November Land indicates the general
feeling of the miners. The Journal
des Debats considers that the atti-
tude of the foreign miners had an
portant influence on the prospect
of the strike, and says:
''The American miners, who care
little for what happens in Europe,
refuse to listen to the proposals to aid
the Frenchmen by restricting their
output.
1t is useless, therefore, to count on
their support. The English miners
put forward the attitude of the Amer
leans as evidence that an information
al understanding is impracticable.
Therefore it is no longer doubtful that
American and English coal is only
waiting for the opening of strike to
make offers to replace the French
product. +"

ON AN EVEN KEEL.
Steamship Ha Ting Can Be Saved at $4,000
Cost-Passengers Rescued.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 16.-The
steamers Willapa and Maud, sent up
as rescue vessels to the Ha Ting,
now on. the rocks at Jervis Island,
came down this afternoon with the
ITO passengers taken from the
wrecked vessel. None of the passen-
gers was even injured, and they were
put to no discomfort. The Ha Ting
is now lying on an even keel. Her
forefoot is torn back from the bow for
distance of Is feet, and there is
water in her forward bulkheads and
slight leaking into her forward hold.
It is not expected, however, that
there will be any difficulty in float
ing her. Diver Clark, of Victoria,
is now at the scene of the accident,
and his apparatus for wrecking will
be forwarded tomorrow. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost of the necessary re-
pairs to the Ha Ting will not exceed
| $15. 600.

LETTER FROM PAT GROVE.
He Will Surrender If Bail Is Placed at $500
Letter Believed to be Genuine.

Omaha, Oct. 15.-Chief of Police
Donahue has received a letter from
Pat Grove, naming the terms on
which he will surrender. The letter
came in the care of an Omaha news
paper in which it is published, and
covers Is closely written pages of
manuscript. The postmark is illeg-
ible, but the letter was mailed at s
O'Clock in the morning, and reached
this city at o'clock in the evening
of that day, indicating that it had not
travelled long distance. In the let
ter Grove agrees to give himself up
and stand trial for the kidnapping of
Eddie Cudahy, providing he is not
locked up until a jury shall adjudge
him guilty. He says he is unable to
furnish bond in excess of $500, and
demands that bail be fixed in that
sum.
Chief Donahue expresses himself
as satisfied that the letter came from
Grove. Donahue has known Grove
for several years, is acquainted with
his manner of handwriting and style
of expression. The Chief also re-
ceived a letter from Crowe's uncle at
Manchester, Ia, submitting similar
terms for Crowe's surrender, which
leads the police to believe that they
are dealing with the right man.
Grove, in his letter, takes the detect
i've agencies to task, defying them
to attempt his arrest.

FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
$4,000 Foods Of Rye Will Be Required to
Relieve Distress in One Province.

St. Petersburg. Oct. 16.-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press. y
1t can now bsfo rseen that the wide
spread crop failures, the consequent
famine and the relief work of the
government and of philanthropists
will be engrossing subjects in this
empire during the approaching winter
The word famine is not used in the
official publications, which speak of
famine-stricken districts as "places
that are in an unfavorable condition
as respects the harvests," but the
facts that are freely admitted show
that the struggle to keep the peasant
population alive until new harvest
will be harder than has been known
since 1872. The extent of the
disaster can be vaguely surmised from
an inspection of the government re-
port, which names the province of
Viatka as among those where there
was an insufficient harvest" and
which gives the amount of govern
mental assistance required at 782, 600
poods of rye.

PASSED FORGED NOTES.
Arrest Of Woman May lead to the Cap.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 17.-Annie
Rogers, alias Maud Williams, aged 26,
is in the custody of the. police here,
and General Superintendent Taylor,
of the Pinkerton agency of Chicago,
who is in Nashville, believes her az
rest will lead to the apprehension OF
the gang which, July 8, held up a
Great Northern express train near
Wagner, Mont, securing over $40, 00O
in bank notes. The woman came
under suspicion by her actions at the
Fourth National bank Monday after
noon, when she presented large roll
of new bills of small denomination
asking for large bills in. return. Not
ing the bills closely, the teller be.
came suspicious and while she was
engaged in conversation, the police
were notified. When arrested the
woman refused to make any explana-
tion of where the $3.50 in her posses
sion came from. THE bills were or
the Helena bank, and though signed
the serial numbers coincide with
those given in the Pinkerton circular
| advertisement of the robbery. A
warrant was sworn out against the
woma charging her With attempting
to pass forged bank not &. She de
clines to tell of herself rther thar
to assert that she wa loorn in Texas
and that. she arrived here Sunday
night, from where she will not say.

damp today caused the death of John
Gilleland miner, aged so years, and
his two sons James and Winfield, aged
II and Is, at the mines of the Juniata
Coke company near Juniataville.
The bodies were rescued, but in the
effort John Nicholson, mine fireman,
and John Bakers fire boss, were over
come by black damp and are in a
precarious condition. James had
climbed to the top Of some of the
boards surrounding the pit, which had
been abandoned, when he was over
come by sudden gust of the fumes
and fell in. The brother went to his
rescue, and not returning, the father
entered the pit. All three were over
come immediatelyand were dead long
before it was possible to send fresh
air into the shaft and attempt res
