to sell my wife 81, so worth of stamps.
She refused to buy them then he
turned to me with the same offer. It
was then put him under arrest.
. Joseph Uptegrove, saloonkeeper,
and E. c. Pitheon. a hote]keeper,
both Of Royalton, testified that they
had seen Hill In Royalton before the
robbery of the postofice, but not
afterward.
Postofice Inspector Tullii testified
that when Hill was arrested he was
brought to his Office. Hill told the
inspector he had secured the stamps
from a woman at the Reardon hotel
and that he offered to sell them for
her.
Hill denied that he had ever been in
Royalton. He stated that his wife
was sick in Waterloo, Iowa, and that
he had met a woman in the Reardon
hotel who had large quantity of
stamps she wished to sell. Hill said
he took about $40 worth from her, in.
tending to use e5 worth Of them to
get to his sick wife In Iowa.
II Just offered to sell few of he1
stamps for her, said HilL II wanted
to get to see my wife in Waterloo.
Hill said..the woman got the stamps
from three men, Of whom one had red
hair, another one arm and the third
was medium size. He was sure he
had not been in Royalton, and said
that Mrs. J. O'Connel, who keeps
roomine house on jackson street,
and man by the name Of McNairy,
employed by Booth & Co., would be
able tc tell where he was when the
robbery at Royalton took place. He
told the court he would have an attor.
ney and the witnesses would be on
hand by Saturday.
Globe: While the postof6ce inspec-
tors are inclined to believe tht others
aside from Hill were implicated in
the robbery, they assert that in Hill
they have one of the most dangerous
and cleverest crooks in the entire
country.
The blowing Of the safe is said to
have been the work of Professionals,
and the inspectors believe that Hill is
a member of one Of the most trouble
some games of rostofice robbers
with which the government has had
to deal in many years.

fed that be mad tried to sell stamps tc
local merchants and others. He called

street. and was given work. At the
hearing Haab testified that he bought
stamps of Hill at discount.
Hill then went to Randolph, &C.
cording to the testimony, which is
thirty-three miles south Of st. Paul,
and on the train offered to pay hi
fare to Waterloo, Iowa, in postage
stamps, saying he had a sick wife
there. The conductor refused to &C
cept the stamps and Hill was put Of

THE UNITED STATES IS
 INTERESTED IN THIS
Arbitration Court Discusses Japanese Home Tax Great Britain. France and Others Said Japan Tax ed Buildings Which Were Exempt-U nited States Accepts the Award-Roosevelt Asked to Act In - This Case.

The Hague, Nov 21.--The first sit ting of the arbitration court on the Japanese house tax question was held to-day. The United States is interest ed in the matter, although not party to the present arbitration. The point at issue is the contention of Great Britain, France and Germany that Japan imposed taxes on buildings in the old foreign concessions. which being perpetual leases. are exempt from taxation. The United States and other powers having similar conces- sions will accept the award. M. Gram, president of the court, who is one of the provincial governors of Norway, at the opening of the proceedings con, graduated the governments who by consenting to submit disputers to in> ternational Jurisdiction had given fresh proof of their attachment to great and noble cause He regretted that the path of humanity along the road of progress was full of obstacles, but added that happily the number of con- ventions forming fresh bonds between antions was daily increasing.

OUT OF SIGHT.
Man Who Mysteriously Dis. appeared From Sing
 Sing Prison.

New York, Nov 21.-Absolutely no trace has been found of Charles W. Johnson, the man who murdered two men in a Brooklyn junk shop, and who nlysteriously escaped from Sing Sing prison, where he was serving a life term.
 It is reported that on the day that he received his sentence Johnson turned to Oscar Dahlgren, his accomplice in the murder of George Abbott and Will liam B! Van Buskirk, who had turned states evidence, and said:
 T will get out of Sing Sing and kill you and then I shall return and go to the chair.''
 He has apparently made his escape --the rest of his threat is to be full filled. The Brooklyn police have warn ed Dahlgren to be on his guard. They have also taken measures to protecI him.
 The prison officials said to-day that they believed he was still within the walls of Sing Sing.

ARMENIA IS STILL
 IN STATE OF UNREST

London, Nov 21.-A serious state of unrest continues in Armenia where killing and footing prevail, according to letter received in London to-day by the Bible-Lands Missionary Aid society from Dr Reynolds of the American board of foreign missions Writing from Van, October, 25, Dr Reynolds says:
 Both the political and economical conditions are very unsatisfactory. Poverty has greatly increased, busi- ness is pretty much at a standstill and to crown all the revolutfonists are so much in evidence that the people are in constant fear lest another massacre be precipitated. At the beginning of September Van was brought to the very verge of massacre and more recently an important village has been footed and burned with twenty or more persons killed. So you see the pros poets for the winter are far from bright. s bry.

HAS NOT BEEN RESUMED.

Chefoo, Nov 21 6 D. m.)-A Japan csc official among the latest arrivals from Dalny, states positively that the general attack upon Port Arthur has not been resumed Rumors to that ef- feet in Dalny have arisen because fresh troops. including the seventh al. vision recently landed, are being sent to the front.
 It is believed that the explosion which took place on November 16 oc- cured in some counter tunneling work.
 The second explosion which was heard on November 19 was much heavier, and it is reported upon the best authority was due to the blowing up Of Russian magazine
 It is expected that the next attack upon Port Arthur will be tremendous affair More achievements are com ing to the support of General Nogi than those dispatched to Field Marshal Oyama.
 The Japanese are now constructing coast defense forts at Pigeon bay, which is accepted as an indication that they expect to be defending Port Ar thur themselves some day.

INTERSTATE COMPASSION
 HEARING FREIGHT CASE

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov 21.-The in- terstate commerce commission to-day resumed hearings in the freight diff ferential rate case. The previous hearings were held in New York. It is believed the commission will finish it's work here by tomorrow Boston and Baltimore merchants are interest ed in the case and it is likely further hearings will be held in Baltimore.
 For some years past the grain ship pers in Philadelphia and Baltimore were allowed differential over New York. Early this year the New York lines objected to this differential and reduced the rate to that quoted by the railroads entering Philadelphia and Baltimore. This led to a rate war which really existed on paper as the reductions we're made when there was no grain moving for export. Never theIess it caused considerable friction and the interstate commerce commis- sion was called in to decide the ques- tion.

THIS SHIP
 DESERTED
Ashore and Helpless
 at Long Beach.
Passengers Were Taken Off by Tugs-Efforts to Move the Vessel Were Without Result.

New York, Nov 21.-The steamer Sicilian Prince, of the Prince line, which went ashore four miles west of the live saving station at Long Beach, Long Island, at 5 o'clock Sunday morn ing, now lies hard on the beach. This morning the steamer moved two lengths inshore. The sea increased steadily and the captains of the tugs which had been endeavoring to float her recognizing the hopelessness of their task under the prevailing condi- time being. Soon after the tugs steamed away the liner swung halr around and now lies with her broad. side exposed to the sea.
 All the steerage passengers who had been on the Sicilian Prince since she ran into the mudbahk yesterday were taken off early to-day and brought up to this city in tugs.
 During the forenoon the wind hauled off shore, the sea began to moderate and the conditions for floating the steamer improved.
 After landing the passengers of the Sicilian Prince in Brooklyn the tugs returned to the ship. The steerage passengers will be taken to Ellis Island this afternoon.
 WuGA IL was lOuAQ IhdC fCAClC WOuiO probably be considerable delay in float ing the Sicilian Prince, the company had sent down two tugs with barges for the passengers and tug with a barge for the baggage. The work of transferring the passengers to the barges was accomplished without diff ficuIty and after all had been got aboard the barges start was made for the city. Captain Hanks and his crew remained with the stranded ship and are assisting the tugs in the efforts to float the vessel.
 7 Since the line of bell buoys was placed off the beach last summer no vessel had come ashore until the Si- cilian Prince poked her nose into the mud yesterday morning. The vessel had passed to the windward of the buoys and had failed to hear the ring Just before the ship struck Captain Van Wicklen of the life saving station noticed that she was too close to shore and burned Coston light as warn ing signal. This was mistaken on the vessel for the signal of a pilot boat and a green light was displayed sIgni- flying thatfa pilot was wanted on board. Two minutes later the ship struck the beach, The immigrants on board, instead of becoming panic stricken, were pleased at their safe ar rival in America, as they were under the impression that landing was be- ing made ill the way that was custom ary here, and the officers and crew were successful in keeping the passen- gers in good humor until all had been safely taken off on the barges.

NO SPECIAL MISSION.
The Delegate to the Philippines Goes
 by Way of New York.

New York, Nov 21.-No special mis- sion has been entrusted by Pope Plus to the most Rev Ambrose Alfred Agius, the recently appointed apostol- ic delegate of the Catholic church in the Philippines who has just arrived here on his journey to the islands. His presence in this country he ex- plained by the fact that of the two routes which he might have taken he chose that one which leads across the American continent. No significance could be attached to his brief visit here or to call which he contem- plates making upon the president at Washington tomorrow or Wednesday. His call upon the president would be merely one of courtesy.
 The apostolic delegate expects to reach Manila early in January.
