STOLEN SECURITIES

NEW YORK, Sept 29.-The theft of
$3.50. 900 from a Wall Street bank. sep-
posedly the National City. is one of the
biggest that has occurred in years
Scores of detectives are on the hunt for
the smooth young crook who perpetrated
ii.
The announcement of the theft came
from the Pinkerton agency. but the
name of the bank victimized was not
disclosed.
BY means OF a forged check, on which
there was forged certification, the thief
got possession of a package of securi-
ties the value of which, according to
prevailing prices yesterday. was s25s, 800

usual one-day slip of paper. The in
terest rate was AZ per cent The bro

brokerage firm got the loan. 1t was
understood that the loan could be called
in or paid at any time.
A few minutes before the closing in
the afternoon a young man appeared at
the bank carrying one of the large wal
lets used by bank messengers in the
financial district Walking briskly up
to the paying teller's window. he an

loan made to Pearl & Co. a few hours
before, and withdrew the securities de-

The signature OF Pearl & Co. appeared
to be regular to his practiced eye. and
the certifcation on the check also was
the one he was accustomed to see on
checks from the Hanover National
Bank
Without a question the paying teller
got the package of securities and pass

Erioid Weather in the South.

With blizzard raging in north and
east Texas and rain and sleet falling in
MANY district in southern Texas, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi and Tennessee, weather
conditions last night were decidedly
worse than at any time since the present
storm began. A blizzard has been sweep
ing over the cattle range of western
Texas for two days and last night showed
no signs of abatement. Thousands OF
cattle are reported to be suffering and IN
many cases totally deprived OF water.
Telegraphic communication is demoral,
lied in all sections of the southwest aud
the cities of Shreveport, Baton Rouge
and Crowley, in western Louisiana, are
completely cut off from wire connection
of any kind. Rain is falling in New
Orleans, Mobile and Montgomery, ac-
companed by falling temperature.
The State of Arkansas was last night
in the grasp of one OF the worst sleet
storms in its history.
In west Tennessee and Mississippi the
temperature has been about stationary
during the last "a hours, ranging in varl-
Gus localities from 16 to q degrees above
zero. The wires Of the telegraph and
telephone companies remain in state
of generalization, and kilograms and
news dispatches are received subject to
indefinite delay.
Reports from Waco and Southern Tex
as state that the temperature is slowly
rising. Rains have set in, and it is
feared the precipitation will be followed
by freeze.
Tho city of Natchez, Miss, has been
without wire communication since Satur-
| day.

Will Demand Oren Door.

In view of the revival of reports from
European capitals to the effect that there
has been renewal OF efforts on the part
of the powers to find some basis for in
teryenton in the interests of peace in
the far East, inquiry has been made in
Washington in official circles to ascer-
tain the position OF this government re-
specting such a movement. The State
Department has made no overtures re-
Gently to either of the interested powers
nor does it know officially OF any such
movement in Europe. The position Of
of this government has not changed in
any respect, and it would welcome a
settlement of the present disastrous con-
flict either by means If direct negotia-
tons between the belligerent powers or
through the medium of an international
conference. But no matter which course
is followed in arranging the terms OF
peace, the one point upon which the
United States government will insist is
that both Rnssia and Japan shall, in the
settlement, live up the terms of the un-
dertaking to which both of them have
subscribed, that the integrity of China
shall be respected and the equal right Of
all powers in China recognized, includ-
ing distinctly "the open door.

PEACE REMOTE AS EVER.

The renewed peace talk resulting from
the visits of Ambassador Casslni aud
Minister Takahira at the State Depart
ment in Washington, and the conferences
of Am bassador Duraud and Mr.. Spring
Rice, first secretary of the British En-
bassy at St. Petersburg, with President
Roosevelt on Sunday, finds not the
slightest echo in official and diplomatic
circles at St. Petersburg, where Emperor
Nicholas oft-repeated declaration that
the war must be carried to a satisfactory
conclusion remains the keynote of the
situation.
The present current of press and pub
lie opinion in Russia appears to be set
ting toward peace. The newspapers no
longer proclaim the necessity of contInu-
ance of the war at all costs. Articles ap-
pearing in the Russ and the Novoe
Vremya bearing the signatures OF we'll
known war correspondents who have
lust returned from Manchuria criticize
the conduct of operations there in un-
measured terms, while these papers edi-
torialy declare that hopes Of victory are
remote. The Novoe Vremya blunty re-
marks
"We 90 on buying evening editions
hoping to hear news OF Russian sue
cess, but little or nothing is done TO assure
it,"
The war never has been, in the fullest
sense of tie word, popular. The present
distress and discomfort of the working
class and the general desire for reform
eviuced by the upper class may develop
strong peace mo cement with which the
government may have to reckon; but,
on the other hand, it is generally adj
mitted that if peace should be concluded
under disadvantageous conditions 1t
would materially strengthen the enemies
of the present government, which Will
not fail TO keep this fact in sight, and
hope that some means can be found oil
reaching an adjustment satisfactory to
Russia and Japan. This places special
Importance on the mission entrusted to
NJ. Admabasza, director of the commit
tee on the far East, who is believed to
have gone thither in order to report to
the Emperor the possibility of reaching
a compromise with Japan without
material prejudice to Russis's interests

cate, and we'll known throughout the
ives: as q leader in the Farmers AL
lance and other political movements,
has been arrested by United States
Marshal Grimshaw on a charge OF
using the mails in connection with a
scheme to defraud.
The charge Is that in advertising
matter sen through the mails of the
postoffice selling stocks in the Con.
solidated Farm aud Ranch company,
Hanley represented that this company
had acquired the property of the Mon.
tana Co. Operative Ranch company,
now in the hands of a receiver, which
representation is claimed to be false.
His hearing is set for August 16.
The consolidated company was or.
ganized a few months agoi.under the
laws of South Dakota, with Hanley as
president and q capital of $3.50, 900.
The government claims the new com.
pany has practically no assets, and
that in order to induce the investors
to buy stock in the new company the
promoters pretended to have acquired
the property Of the old company.
The Montana company Is now in the
hands Of a receiver, and it ia claimed
to have assets OF only $4,000 with an
incumbrance in the shape of a 81, 900
mortgage. In some of the literature
sent out by Hanley it is represented
that the receiver has property worth
