Ing Destroyed by Fire.

Sedalia, Mo, Nov. 24.-The safe In
the post Office at Clifton City, Cooper
county, about twenty miles from this
city, was blown by burglars, at night,
the contents taken, and the building in
which the Office was located set on
fire and destroyed, with all its on
tends.
The persons who arrived first at the
scene were able to see, by the light OF
the flames that the building had been
broken into and the safe blown.
The safeGoor had been blown off and
the interior of the Office wrecked by the
violence of the explosion.
The indications were that all the CON
tents of the safe had been taken.
NJ. ID. Wakefield, postmaster, was not
able, in the confusion following the
fire, to tell what the safe had contained,
but the amount of money and stamps
Is supposed to have been large.

WM. L. PENFlELD'S MISSION
It's object In Only Surmised, Hut His
Report Will, 1t IL Believed, he
of Grave Importance.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Oficial circles
are all agog with reference to Judge
Penfield's mission to South America
and its results.
At the time the solicitor was sent
abroad, the suggestion was nurtured in
official circles hat his trip had to do
with trade conditions, but 1t has been
surmised all along that it had a more
important and delicate object. He spent
four weeks in Brazil, and while there
made a tour of the southern section Of
the country
The administration has been interest
ing itself in the German situation in
Brazil for several years, representa-
tons having been made TO this gov
eminent that the German empire was
gradually colonizing the southern por-
ton and gaining a foothold there 50
substantial as to excite the a%pprehen.
sion of the Washington administration.
Some of the alarmists have been in
clined to fear that the Monroe Doctrine
would eventually be menaCed by the
trend of events in Brazil, and that it
might De necessary lot tne Olltei
States to make the matter the subject
Of diplomatic representations.
Therefore, taken in connection with
the u~nfricndly spirit brought about be-
tween the United States and Germany
by the tariff wal and other incidents,
the report OF Judge Penfield is expect
ed TO ASSUME grave importance. No ink
ling of what it. is has as yet been al
lowed to become public.

There has been a hard fight on the

GEO. ADAMS REGULATIONS
Instead of $35 ,OOO, to which He Has
COnfessed, 1t In Believed They
Will Reach $3OO,OOO.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 25.-Late devel-
opments in the arrest of George Ed
ward Adams, late cashier in the United
States assay Office here, for embezzle-
ment, indicates that instead of steal
ing $35, 900 in gold dust. to which he
has confessed, his populations may
amount close to 5000 900, and that in
stead Of covering a period of six
months, they will run farther back
than 1903. Adams bondsmen have
withdrawn from the $4,000 bond, and
Adams was remanded to Jail to await
his preliminary hearing.
Several Alaska men have already in-
formed the federal officers that they
believe they have been defrauded by
some one in the assay Office. One man
declares that out Of sc, 600 in gold dust
deposited there, only 5000 was re-
turned to him.
Friends of the family have not dared
to inform Mrs. Adams of her husbands
trouble. for she is very i'll and the news
might kill her. Mrs. Adams was Miss
Emily Clary, a ~well-known society
girl. A few days ago she became q
mother.

vented by Japanese gendarmes. He
still persisted in his refusal to sign the

sesses the most wonderful throat and
neck in Denver, While playing in
Union park the little fellow ran into
a ~thrce-inch iron pipe rail. The bar.

So great was the impact that the Sc

EFFECTS OF MILD WEATHER
Unprecedented Activity In Industri-
al Lines, Hut Retail Trade and Coll
lectiOns u~nfavOrabIy Affected.
.-Bradstreet'

New York. Nov. 25.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Mild, open weather favors in q high
degree the unprecedented activity in
all industrial lines, but unfavorably
affects retail trade in wearing apparel
and retards collections, which also feel
the influence of country wide freight
congestion. Evidently in an effort to
avoid trouble from this latter source,
holiday trade at wholesale is active be-
yond all preceding years. In whole
sale and jobbing lines, the backward
ness of retail trade is reflected in slow
err recorder trade than expected, but
confidence in the general outlook Is
evidenced by the liberal orders report
ed for spring goods. Perhaps the most
marked evidence Of confidence in the
future Is found In the metal markets.
