New York. April 10.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:

SHIP ROBBERS
GET MUCH GOLD
ROB ATLANTIC LINER OF HALF A
MILLION.
CLEVER AND DARING WORK
COUNTLESS MILLIONS CROSS THE
OCEAN BUT ROBBERY IS
ALMOST UNKNOWN.

New York, April 1O.-The gold bars
stolen from the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, the
discovery of which theft has just been
made at Cherbourg, France, were doubt
less part Of a shipment Of $50O,000 IN
gold made by the National City bank Of
this city. The gold was withdrawn from
the assay office here and taken aboard
the Kaiser Wilhelm on Monday, April l.
The liner sailed next day.
At police headquarters no notice had
been received of the loss up to last night
Officials say that no complaint was made
in regard to the gold when the Kaiser
Wilhelm left the Cunard pier. No. 81
North river, which she has used since
her own was burned in Hoboken last
summer. They say also that the pilot
reported no loss.
No instance of the loss of gold III,
transit between the United States and
Europe has been reported since August
I, 1884, when keg Of American eagles
containing $4,000 was reported as miss
ing after it had been delivered by the
Compagnie Generate Trans-Atlantiquc
Railway company at Havre to be taken
to Paris. This shipment was consigned
to Lazard Freres.
Shipments Of gold are always heavily,
insured. The LaZard consignment was
protected by policies in ten companies.
At the time representatives of the steam
ship company said that there was no
record of the gold having been lost from
the steamship. The gold is taken from
the assay office in trucks, usually in
sealed kegs. Representatives Of the
shipper deliver it to the second officer
or other official selected by the steam
ship company, who receipts for it, men,
tioning in his receipt the number of kegs
'said to contain gold" delivered to him
If when the kegs are opened they are
found not to contain the amount of gold
expected, the carrier is not responsible
so long as the seals have not beer
broken.
All the kegs are locked in the specie
vault on board the steamship in the pres
ence Of the representatives of the ship
per. When the vessel reaches it's des-
tina ton, the kegs are again checked of
so that any loss may be immediate!y
discovered.
Enormous sums in gold are shipped
back and forth across the Atlantic when
conditions are favorable to such move
ments. Some vessels have carried a.
much as $5,OOO,00O on a single trip, bu,
in recent years, at least, not dollar has
been lost.
Robert c. Pinkerton said last night
that usually gold for shipment was sent
from the bank to the steamship unda.
guard and delivered to the purser, VINO
placed it in his private Office.
"Some vessels have no specie vault
he said, 'tbut robberies are very rre
quent. There was big theft of gold
about a year ago from vessel from
Australia to San Francisco. 1T was tne
work of professional thieves, and it is
supposed the gold was let down over
the side Of the vessel at Hawaii"

WAR ON THE LEGISLATURE.

Montreal. April 10.-An episcopal let
ter from Archbishop Bruschie has been
r. ad in all Catholic churches, referring
to the recent decision in the Delpit case
and to the action of the Legislature in
granting to the Mount Royal cemetery
the power to cremate bodies in place of
burying them If SO desired. AS to the
former, the archbishop merely restates
the attitude of the church on mixed or
irregular marriages, which cannot be af-
sected by the judgment of civil tribunals
md warns all communicates not to Of
fend at the risk Of severe ecclesiastical
penalties.
With respect to cremation, the arch
bishops declaration is of greater inter-
est, since he virtually censures the leg
stature for granting the request of the
Mount Royal Cemetery company, which
is a Protestant organization.

Russia Will Garry on Her Original

that reserve with which 1t at first hand
led the subject of Manchuria. 1t de-
clares that the protest greeting China's
refusal to sign the Manchurian agree
ment has merely postponed the signing
of new understanding with China, since
the convention would be advanteous to
China.
One paper says: "Our London friends
overlooked the fact that in dissuading the
signing of the agreement they should not
hasten the evacuation of Manchura but

A MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.
Ship Robbers Have Left No Trace of
Their Identity.

New York, April 1O.-The robbery at
sea of the North German liner Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse seems a mysterious
crime. Apparently there has been COM
plete failure to locate either the missing
gold bullion or the men who took it,
although the search of passengers and
ship at Bremen again this morning may
furnish material for the Investigations.
The advices to Elrichs & Co., agents for
the company, came in German and on
the point as to whether the specie room
was broken open or entered by pick
ing the lock admit of translation either
way. The specie room of the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse is iron bound and
almost as strong as vault. The bars
of gold were packed in oak caskets
bound with iron hoops. Thousands of
dollars in gold We're within the reach
of the man who forced his way into the
strong room, but only the sum named
was taken. At the offices of the North
German Lloyd agents this morning the
following statement was given out to
the Associated Press:
Three bars of gold valued at $22, $50.
was taken from the specie room of the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse somewhere
here and Cherbourg. The bars were ta-
ken from caSk NO. I, but we have no
idea as to how the robbery was accom-
plished. Our advices are but brief. and
do not show how the room was entered.
The gold was shipped by the National
City bank of New York. We under-
stand it was insured. but the question
of responsibility will be passed upon la
ter. We have not recovered the GOLD
and this ofilce has no knowledge Of the
H. f0 sk~
safe, one secured by patent locks, 20
which there were but two keys. The
chief officer kept one and the purser
the other. We will make every effort
to recover the money and catch the
thieves
