PURSUING TIE BANDITS.
The Murderers Of a Detective at Union,

No., Eluded Capture.
Sullivan, Mo-, Jan. 26.-William
Rudolph and Frederick Lewis, who
are accused OF robbing the bank at
Union, No. December %, and killing
Charles j. Schumacher, Pinkerton
detective, have so far succeeded in
eluding the posses sent to capture
them. 1t is asserted that Lewis was
wounded in the head in the first fight
and blood stains in the Rudolph
house bear out this assertion. A
search OF the Rudolph home this
morning resulted in the discovery OF
$3.50 and $11 900 in securities, part
OF the booty from the Union bank
robbery, and the last doubt regard
ing the fugitives' connection with the
raid has been removed from the
mlnus OF tne Omcers.
As a result Of finding the money,
Rudolph's father, mother and young
sister have been placed under arrest,
together with a friend of the family,
George Harmes, who wasin the house
when Schumacher was killed.
THE PURSUIT Is NARROWING.
Word was received last night that
Rudolph and his companies we're seen
near Buford, NO., and the pursuit is
narrowing down. A posse under
command OF Meyerseick and Neihei.
ser, who encountered the men near
Stanton, is reported to be close be-
hind the fleeing men. The develop.
ments to-day tended to show that
Rudolph was expecting the visit Of
officers at their cabin. 1t was also
learned that after the killing of
Schumacher both went to the house
of R. A. Lawrence, where they stayed
until just previous to meeting Meyer
seick and Neiheiser. 1t is asserted
that they told Lawrence what had
happened and begged him to secure
two horse. They offered $3.50 in
gold if be would secure the animals.
Lawrence, it is said, went to the
home OF his father-in law, 7. E. Wood
cock, and asked him to sell two
horses. Woodcock refused and had
his animals turned out in the woods
to prevent them being taken by
force. Informed of the result of his
errand by Lawrence the fugitives
went to the home OF Josiah Arm
strong and asked him to sell them
two horses. He reused and the
two men confronted hm with a re-
volver and placed 5000 in gold on a
table. While one guarded Arm.
strong, the other saddled the horses
and with a parting warning both
rode away.

SHAW
AND OUR BONDS
WHAT DISPATCHES SAY ABOUT
THEIR BEING MADE SECURITY
FOR FEDERAL DEPOSITS.

WASHINGTON, October 3.-Secre-
tary Shaw today authorized the an
nouncement that the Hawaiian bonds,
OF which the Territory desires to dis
pose, would be accepted by the trea-
sury as security for deposits of gov
eminent money.
George r. Carter Secretary of the
Territory of Hawaii has been here
some time trying to sell 81 229, 600 Of
the bonds, authorized by the Terri
torial Legislature and by the President
of the United States. owing to the
condition of the New York money mar
ket Mr.. Carter found considerable diff
ficulty floating this loan, although IL
bears > per cent interest and runs fif-
teen years. The New York financiers
objected to taking the bonds on the
mere approval by the President of
their issue. They desired the United
States government to show it's full ap-
proval of their worth by accepting
them as security for National Bank
deposits This Secretary Shaw has
now done.
WASHINGTON October 4-Secretary
of the Treasury Shaw has informed
George r. Carter Secretary of the
Territory of Hawaii, that he would ac-
cept s1,229,OOO of Hawaiian bonds as
security for deposits for circulation up
to 80 per cent of their face value. The
Territory proposes to issue $1,0UO,00O Of
bonds under the organic act. They
are to be 5-per-cent bonds, and can be
called in in five years. They are limited
to fifteen years.
The bonds are to be exempt from
taxation in Hawaii and will be a
charge on the consolidated revenues of
the Territory. Secretary Carter stated
today that after the issuance of these
bonds the total debt of the Territory
will be less than 2 per cent of it's
taxable property and less than the in
come of last year.

THE HELEN BREWER
POSTED MISSING
SPECTATORS WHO PLAYED HER
TO ARRIVE HAVE LOST-THOU-
SANDS WAGERED ON HER.

SAN FRANCISCO. October S.-The
day of reckoning has come for the
spectators who risked money on the
overdue American ship Helen Brewer,
the vessel having been posted yesterday
at Lloyd's as missing. Much was said
some weeks ago about her long pas
sage from Sourabaya on the northern
coast of Java, for Deleware breakwa-
ter, and her failure to arrive. She
carried a cargo of sugar After be-
ing posted as an overdue, the ship be-
came a favOrte with optimistic specu-
lators in this city and at Honolulu,
where the Brewer was particularly
well known, and they placed $l75,0OO
on her chances. Another $4,000 was
put up by men who chose to wager
that the vessel would not reach her
destination, and they have won. But
the great majority of spectators have
met another Waterloo.
The Helen Brewer was classed as a
fine American ship. and she was COM
manded by Captain Mahany, who had
beee in the employ of the Boston own
ers for forty-five years. No master
mariner har better reputation for
ability and trustworthiness. Accom-
panylng the captain on the trip We're
his wife and daughter The fate of
the ship and those on board may
never be known. The only possible
theory to advance for his loss is the
fact that a few days prior to her de-
parture from Java the ship was
aground in the mud. But she was ap-
Darently uninured and after a survey
the vessel proceeded.
