that Fits exactly to the other piece
that was attached TO the cornmeal
sack which was left In the express
car at Copley, and which was used
to carry the dynamite. There were
also found some Wells.Fargo pa.
pers. which were taken from the
car, showing that the robbers re-
turned to the cabin after leaving
Keswick station. A pipe was pick.
ed up that had the name of J. A.
Limos cut into it.
Limos is an ex-convict, who has
been Sought by the authorities for
some months in connection with q
stage robbery. The Wells Fargo
Express company has offered $500
for his arrest. He answers the de
scription of the short man in the
Copley hold-up.
Itis certain that these bandits
were the men who held up the sa-
loon at Kennett over a month ago,
and who recently robbed the Noun
tain Copper Company's store at
Keswick.

Vienna, April Sin one of the
most terrific earthquakes in it's his
tory the village of Kessevo, Seloni-
ca, in Macedonia was, on Monday,
devastated and the greater portion
of the population rendered home.
less. twenty-five persons were kill
ed and 40 others injured. The
death list according to the account
received here may be increased.
The earthquake was preceded by
the usual rumbling, but as that
portion of the country has felt shocks
no apprehension was felt. To this
is undoubtedly due the large loss
Of life. Two distinct shocks were
felt, the second being the most VIC
lent.
Houses melted away like dust
and in few seconds /, 800 of them
| were mere ruins. with the inhabi.
tants in some instances buried be.
meath the fallen timbers.
Great distress has resulted and
an appeal has been made to the
government for aid, in which it is
declared that in addition to 1,50e
families rendered homeless the food
supply is inadequate.

London, April 11.-No confrma-
tion has reached London of the va
rious rumors, most of which came
by way of Paris, of land fighting,
landings by the Japanese troops on
the Liao Tung peninsula, the cap
ture of japanese troops bn Rus
SLAMS, etc. Dispatches from vari-
GUS points agree that the Russians
have completely evacuated Corea,
but beyond this there is little relia-
BILE news.
A Chefoo dispatch which reached
London by way of Rome asserts
that the Japanese squadron with
20 steamers was seen making for
Port Arthur.
The squadron of Admiral Wren.
ius left Cherbourg yesterday for the
Baltic.
On the occasion of Easter the
czar conferred numerous decora-
tions and promotions upon navy
and army commanders prominent
in the war.
Marquis Ito, President of the
japanese privy council, was given
a banquet at Toxic Saturday. He
announced the success of his mis-
sion in establishing cordial rela-
tions between the Japanese and
Coresn courts, and said that at his
governments request be had drawn
up an elaborate report on Corean po-
litical needs.
The japanese papers ridicule the
idea of the Russian Baltic Sea
squadron evee reaching the Far
East, and do not believe that it will
ever make the attempt.

the hand could be severed from the

Portland, April 8.-The Journal
says: Word was received by the
officials of the Lewis aud CLARK cor
poration and state commission. at
11:45 this morning that the bill ap-
propriating $475,000 for the fair
had passed the house at, 2 O'Clock
without division. The Philippine
bill occupied the morning session
of the house, according to the ad-
vices received by the fair officials,
and this accounted for the delay in
the fair bills passage. The meas
ure was slated for consideration at
the morning session of the House.
Immediately on receipt of the
news the corporation officials held
an informal jubilation in the office
of Director General Goode and Sec
retary Reed monopolized the tele-
| phone for an hour spreading the
good tidings to the leading business
men of the city.
"I am grati6ed at the news" said
Director General Goode when he
heard of the bills passage. "We
are now able to proceed with the
many things that have been waiting
ON the congressional appropriation
and from now on the exposition's
affairs can move unhampered."
For weeks all work has been de.
layed and all plans have been held
up pending final action by congress.
The corporation found many obsta.
cles that could be only overcome
when all was definitely settled and
until it was known just what the
government would be willing to dt
no definite building plans of any
sort could be considered. Begin

Vancouver, April mime Ainus
men, three women and two
children-from YEN, the northern
most island of Japan, have arrived
here by the Empress of Japan,
bound for the St. Louis Exposition.
The Ainus men and the women,
too. are covered all over their bod
les: with fairly long silky soft
hair. The eyebrows, whiskers and
mustaches of the men are specially
heavy in growth, and they present
a qneer appearance to Western eyes.
The faces of the Ainus are very
dark, and it is said that the skin
all over their bodies is about four
shades darker than that of the av-
erage Japanese. They speak dia-
|lect or language distinctly their
own.
The tribe is fast dying out, and
only 1900 of its representatives re-
main. Two of. the men of the par
ty are fairly intelligent, but the
others look more like apes than hu.
man beings. The women have mus
istashes taktooed daronnds their mouths,
They are sunworshipers, and the
next deity in order of Importance is

a great feast to the bear, a feast
which lasts for several days, and is
marked by the eating of human
flesh. The race is indolent and the
people are selfish and SO barbarout

San Francisco, April 9.-The po.
