BERLIN, Sept. 12.-There has been
an exposure here of a regular dealer
in orders and titles, who, it is said,
claims to be able to procure honors in
several Of the European states for per-
sons who are willing to devote the nee
essary money to Charitable pur-
poses"
The trafficker in these honors, who is
Tyrolean, is said to conduct his trade
In business-like manner and to issue
a regular price list, which quotes the
degree of nobility in certain German
states at $4,000 and the baronetcy at
$4,000. The Spanish nobility sells at
$4,000, Turkish orders from $4,000
downward and Persian orders at low
prices.
Portuguese titles of Count and Mar
quis are said to be offered without the
price being named and consulates in
various South American countries and
in Persia are reported to be on sale
from $1,000 to $4,000. Definite lowest
prices for a host of minor decorations,
it is declared, are also given in the
price list.

Some of the Plumber to Its
Owners.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. 12.-word
was received from New York to-day
that a robbery, by which Mrs. H. Flag
Ter of that city lost a chatelaine bag
containing money and jewels aggregat-
ing several thousand dollars in value,
at Newport, was being investigated
by detectives. The date of the rob-
berry was not given, but as Mrs. Flag
Ter has not been here since the middle
of August it is believed it occurred at
that time.
The message from New York said
that the chatelaine bag contained $4,000
in cash, a draft for $4,000 and jewels
valued at $4,000.
The list of property heretofore stolen
by the mysterious Newport society
thief includes $30S, 900 in jewels. Here
are some of the instances: Mrs. John
Drexel, $4,000: Mrs. William z. Car
ter, $1,000; Mrs. Pembroke Jones, $685.
600; Mrs. Ogden Goelet, 5000, 000
Jewels vlued at $4,000 stolen from Mrs.
Perry Belmont have been recovered
and a valuable sapphire has been re-
stored to Mrs. Joseph Widener.
There has been much mystery at
tached to the return of some of these
gems. The case of Mrs. Goelet is the
strangest.

tion "California's Interests" the Re-

THE Golden State has been capti-
waited so thoroughly by the spirit Of
the st. Louis exposition as to create
the impression that its part is an es-
sential adjunct for the latter's exhi-
bitional and social success. 1t seems
that there would have been a lack Of
harmony among the expositions his
tcrical events and significant celebra-
tons OF Ca1ifornia's fifty-fourth ami
versary as a State of the Union had not
been commemorated appropriately.
"Californias enthusiasm and helpful
enterprise in the exposition is indica-
tive of the rise and progress of the
West California properly regards the
exposition as a Western triumph.
THE States representatives are
prominently identified with the social
features of the season and the people
of California have helped the exposi-
tion with liberal patronage, it being
evident that about 10000 Californians
already have attended.
California must be looked upon as
one of the progressive States. 1t has
attractions which are rapidly increas-
ing it's population. 1t is to be one of
the greatest States. as its location. it's

eral advantages and its tributary ter

SYRACUSE, Neb., Sept. 12.-Cracks-
men blew open the vault and safe
doors of the Bank of Palmyra between
midnight and dawn this morning and
had a rich haul of SSOO0O within their
grasp when they were driven away by
a nervy man with a shotgun. Then
followed a thrilling race ten miles
across country by the robbers and a
small posse in pursuit. The robbers
were frequently in sight at first, but
having a rubber tired runabout, while
their pursuers were in heavier vehicles,
they eluded capture for the time. To-
night Sheriffs and bloodhounds are
searching the vicinity where trace of
them was lost
The men came to Palmyra a few
days ago, representing that they were
in the employ of the Bell Telephone
Company. They rented an office next
TO the bank and spent the nights tun-
neling to the vault. They happened to
use too heavy a charge of nitroglycer-
inc, so that the explosion awakened
w. II. Wheeler of the Independent
Telephone Company, who let drive with
both barrels of his shotgun as the rob-
bers were about TO carry away the
contents of the safe. The cracksmen,
two in number, did not attempt to get
the money or defend themselves. but
took to their heels.
- The time spent by Wheeler arousing
a guard for the money enabled the
robbers to get a good start on the
posse, which followed them a. few min
utes later. After daylight the robbers
were sighted, but gained so rapidly
that they escaped.
It is not likely that they will escape
capture altogether, as a close descrip-
tion of them has been sent broadcast
and officers everywhere are on the look

NEW YORK, Sept 12.-James ..
Corbett, once champion pugilist, had
his hands full this afternoon, when he
went to the assistance of Policeman
Reardon of the Broadway squad, who
had been attacked by four men in
front of the Hoffman House. The men
were trying to rescue friend from ar
rest. For a few lively minutes both
Corbett and the policeman were kept
busy, and it was not until several other
policemen responded to Reardons s
whistle that the four men were beaten
off,
It was Just after 5 o'clock and Broad
way was crowded. Five men had come
out of the Cafe Martin and one of them
attempted to wrench a whip from the
cab of Patrick Mcmahon. Mcmahon
resisted the attack and in the. struggle
the whip was broken. The five men
went down Broadway. while Mcmahon
mounted his cab and followed them.
Seeing Reardon in front of the Hoff-
man House. he called to him to arrest
one named Norris.
When the policeman placed his hand
on Norris shoulder the latter struck
him on the face. Reardon retaliated
and sent Norris to the sidewalk with a
blow on the jaw.
The four men who accompanied Nor
ris closed in upon the policeman and
attempted to get their friend away
from him. Reardon was in bad straits
when Corbett jumped out of the crowd
that was watching the fight and pro-
ceeded to aid the policeman
Corbett showed that he had not for
gotten how to put the manly art to it's
best use. While the arrested man and
one of his friends kept the policeman
busy, the other three turned their at
tention to the former champion. In
trice one went sprawling off the pave

The first engine on No. lies a mass of

There had been an argument be-

the better marksman and he escaped
the bullets of his opponent Panic

The Lena's career in the war in the
Far East is ended. The Russian aux
iliary cruiser, whose unheraIded en-
try into port on Sunday has given
such wide range to conjecture and sus-
piciOn, is not to depart from San
Francisco and sail the track OF the
merchantmen in the hunt for CONTRA
band of war.
The boilers and engines of the war
craft are in so bad a condition that
they will have to be completely over
hauled and practically rebuilt. This
i'm itself will require several months
time. If the war is not over then the
laws of neutrality will prevent her
departure from the port. When re-
pairs approach refitting or rebuilding
it is incumbent on the Governments of
the neutral port i'm. which they are
made to prevent the vessel from go
ing to sea. The United States Gov
ernment viii follow strictly this well
established provision of international
law.
Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich at
o'clock last evening received from the
Russian Consul. Paul Kosakevitch, and
ten statement concerning the condi-
ton of the auxiliary cruiser. In that
formal presentation 1t was declared
that several months work would be
necessary before the Lena would be in
a condition to leave port. Captain Ber-
linsky said the engines needed a COM
plete overhauling and that the boilers
would have to be practically rebuilt.
In making his statement Captain
Berlinsky declared that it must take
not less than four months and possibly
eight months to do the work that he
set forth as needed to make the cruiser
seaworthy. Without comment. copy
of Captain Berlinsky's statement was
telegraphed last night by Admiral
Goodrich TO the Navy Department.
WILL BE DIsMANTLED.
Captain Berlinsky voluntarily offered
to allow the Governments experts to
inspect the vessel at once, to verify
his statement. In short. the Russian
officers explanations mean that his
ship is crippled and that he cannot get
out of port short of several months
delay.
Oficials high in authority say this
means that the Lena will be disman-
tied and laid up at the port until the
war is ended. The Government, it has
been pointed out. will not permit the
Lena to be rebuilt and then to leave
port after such a stay as Captain Ber-
linsky himself asserts viii be necessary
to put the steamer into seaworthy con-
ditiOn. This being proved fact, as
may be ascertained by the examination
Tomorrow by Inspectors Bulger and
