AN EXPRESS SAFE STOLEN


Robbery Occurred at Manila, Ia, on
the Chicago, st. Paul and milwaukee
Road-Posse Follows Tracks in tho
snow of the Supposed Robbers Three
Mon Arrested.
Sioux City, la, Feb. 10.-An Iron
Isafe, belonging to the United States
Express company and said to have con-
tanned $4,000, was stolen from a truck
on the platform of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul depot at Manila
| last night. Three men supposed to
have been implicated in the theft were
arrested to-day
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul train on which the safe was taken
from Sioux City, arrived at Manila at
sos o'clock last night. The Omaha
train was late and the safe was placed
upon truck, together with other ex-
press and baggage. Express Messenger
Sturtevant left the truck for a few
minutes to assist the baggageman and
when he returned the safe was gone.
"A pOSSe was dSSeInDleQ ana, OWING 10
the fact that snow lay thick upon the
ground, 1t did not take long to dis
cover the tracks of two persons who
evidently had been carrying some heavy
object directly from the truck as it
stood upon the platform. They carried
the safe distance Of about two blocks
and then loaded it into wagon which
had been left there in waiting. The
wagon was driven a mile and a half
into the country and there the safe was
forced open and the contents abstract
ed. The men there abandoned the safe
and went their way on new track.
Tt was not difficult to trace them,
however, and this morning John Jack
son, John Stovalt and Charles Hayes
were arrested. All of them live at
Manila and are well known. Their
regulations heretofore have not been
bad. They stoutly protest their inno-
cenee, but the authorities believe the
evidence against at least two of them
will point conclusively. The stolen safe
contained about $4,000. The $4,000 was
in cash and the remainder in drafts,
checks and various valuables.
While the robbery was undoubtedly
deliberately planned, as the horse and
wagon were in waiting in a convenient
spot, it is not believed that the men
They had no means of knowing of the
contents of the safe or that it was used
for carrying valuables.

Pvecaution Necessary.

Cape Town, Feb 1O.-Yesterday Sir
Alfred Miner reviewed seven thousand
men Of The new volunteer force and
made a speech TO the officers. He ex-
pressed his qualification at the loyal re-

all concerned upon the excellent work

There was a time when it was re-
garded as impossible for the Beers to
penetrate the extreme west and south
of Cape Coloney, but they have reached
one and are within few miles of the
other. Therefore it is necessary to take
every precaution. Most men prefer to
be called alarmists and to safeguard
their property. That is better than to
be called fine plucky fellows and to lose
your property

SIR EVELYN WooD NOT GOING.
Troops and Not Peace Comm issioner
for South Africa

London, Feb 10.-Lord Raglan under
secretary of state for war, informed the
correspondent of the Associated Press
to-day that General Sir Evelyn Wood is
not going to South Africa and that no
peace commission is contemplated. 1.-THE
report as to a peace commission is false
from beginning to end" he said. .'The
policy of the government is the very op-
posite of what would prompt such a
step. Troops, not peace commissioners,
are going to South Africa" 1t is also
understood that Sir Evelyn Wood is less
likely than any other high officer to be
chosen for important political duties. as
he is now so deaf that his retirement is
only question of a short time.

FRENCHACT INDEPENDENTLY
WALDERSEE DISSATISFIED WITh
THEIR CONDUCT.

session of Shan 81 PrOvlnce-Lt Huns 2
Chang Asserts That the Emperor and
Dowager Empress Never Had More
Harmonious R elations Than Now.
Pekin Feb. 10-Count Won Waldersee
is very much dissatisfied with the con-
duct of the French troops near Pao Ting
Flu and also with their avowed inten-
tion, in spite of his protests against it,
to organize an expedition to take pos
session of the Province Of Shan ST. He
takes the ground that expeditions, ex-
cept for police purposes or against
bands of robbers, should not be under
taken during peace negotiations.
General Bailloud, the French COM
mander at Pao Ting Flu, says that he
is acting in entire independence of
Count Won Waldersee and believes the
wisest course to be to nip the incipient
rebellion in the bud immedia tely. He
asserts that he was attacked on three
sides by number Of Chinese while out
with few men near Pao Ting Flu, and
his theory Is that the power of the for
eigners should be shown, if possible,
whenever an occasion arises.
A staff officer of Count Won Walder-
see who Investigated the Pao Ting Flu
affair, could find no evidences Of such
trouble as had been reported. On the
contrary, he believes there are grounds
for supposing quite the opposite, al
though probably there, as elsewhere,
considerable numbers of dangerous rob-
bers infest the country districts.
At next Tuesdays meeting the for
eign ENJOYS will consider the plans sub
mitted by the military committee for
the legation defenses. A reply from the
court is not expected until then at the
earliest.
LII Hung Chang asserts that the en-
press dowager and Emperor Kwang Su
never had more harmonious relations
than they have now, and that the for
mer quite agrees to the necessary for
modern reforms. TIe had telegraphed to
the court his refusal to agree to SEN
tences of execution "fraught with ex-
trelne danger and threatening the dy-
nasty itself"

New York. Feb. 10-The Lamport &,
Holt line steamer Bellenden arrived to-

Friday, February 8, at 10:30e a. m, he
passed close to a derelict schooner bav-
ing two masts standing with the head
of the mainsail set. The schooner was
waterlogged with the decks awash and
abandoned. All spars were standing.
On nearing the wreck the name was
made out as the Ida L. Ray of Ston-
ington." The position Of the wreck is
latitude ss.11. longitude. 1928. 1t is a
very dangerous obstruction to naviga-
tion. The Ida l.. Ray was built in 1854
at Harrinston, Me, and measured 14e

Them by Force--Ths Action the Result
OF Mrs. Nations Work.
Topeka, Feb. 10.-Three thousand
male citizens of Topeka in mass meet
ing here to-day decided that the nu-
merous joints of the city must close
their places. They issued an ultimatum
giving the "jointists" until Friday next
at 12 o'clock noon to quit business. If
this shall not be done warning was
given that a thousand armed men
would Immediately move on the ''jolnts'
and remove them by force. To-day's 9
action Is the result of the crusade
started in Topeka less than ten days
ago by Mrs. Carrie Z. Nation.
The meeting this afternoon was re-
markable one in every respect. 1t was
called by committee of the Law En-
forcement league and was attended by
nearly all the prominent business men
of the city. A feeling Of intense earn
estness pervaded the meeting. Conser-
vative men who have hitherto advocat-
ed moderation in the dealings with the
1awless element, insisted in unmistak
able terms that the time had come when
patience had ceased to be q virtue and
that the people of Topeka should take
the law in their own hands. The ulti-
matum issued commanded the olricers
of the city and county to perform their
duty regarding the closing of the
joints.
The officers were warned that they
had waited long enough. The property
owners in whose premises the joints are
kept were also warned that they should
abate the nuisance at once or the peo-
pie of Topeka would not be responsible
for the damage that might ensIe to
the buildings When the reader Of the
ultimatum reached the part pertaining
to the jointists there was hush of ex-
pectation as there had for several days
been rumors that some important dec
1arations were to be made. The words
of condemnation and warning brought
forth murmurs of approval that gained
strength with each minute, finally
sweeping over the entire audience and
eliminating in great enthusiasm. AS
the reader finished and submitted the
,1ltimatum to the approval of the audi
ence, old men and conservative minis
tiers jumped to their feet In their en-
thusiasrn and waved handkerchiefs,
gesticulated and cheered to the echo.
The cheering lasted for several min
utes. Y
Twelve hundred men signed their
names to cards pledging themselves to
be ready at a moments notice to join
the army which has been recruited to
ctoyop o,IH fhe ioints nv the time the
limit set by the ultimatum expires
There seems to be no question that
the next few days in Topeka will see
