about his room Smith says he saw
distinctly the shining barrel of a
revolver held in the right hand of
the robber.
Smith suddenly yelled: What
d We want?" and the robber jump
ed back through the window and
ran softly down the hall.
Smith says he then arose and
went to his door, but could hear
nothing. Smith thinks the robber
hid somewhere in the house for he
says he would have heard any steps
had an attempt been made to de-
scend the stairway.
When questioned by the police
this morning Smith stated that,
while he could but dimly see the
outline of the figure, he believed
it to be woman with thick
black veil thrown over her head.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-Presi-
dent John A. Mccall Of the New
York Life testified this morning
that his control of the company's
money was absolute. He admitted
making advances of 100000 once
and $4,000 later to Andrew Hamil-
ton on real estate transactions. He
could not explain why Hamilton
balance at the bank only showed
S176, although the real estate trans
actions could not be made. He said
he did not know what Hamilton
did with the money. He admitted
other advances. He got excited and
said the money was safe, that he
was responsible if Hamilton could
not refund. He said he thanked
God he had contributed to the cam
paign fund and aided in the defeat
of free silver.
Mccall said Hamilton's accounts
were never audited. This was so
since the beginning of his connec-
ton with the company. He said

w. S. Smith, who lives in room
73 of the Lynne block, reported
this morning that person whom
he firmly believes to be a woman
attempted to enter his room dur
ing the early hours of the morning.
Smith says he was awakened by
hearing noises coming from the
hallway. Rising on one elbow, he
fastened his gaze on the window,
which is situated within a few feet
of his door.
For a few moments he could
neither hear nor see anything, but
all of sudden black, hooded
figure rose apparently from the
floor of the hall and stood for a
moment at his window.
Smith then saw the figure eau
tiously raise the sash and climb
onto the sill. Smith then says he
lay down and feigned sleep. For
fully minute the figured remained
silhouetted against the light of the
hall lamp which shown dimly down
the passageway.

BURGLAR FRIGHTENED
BY ALARM AND LEAVES

Burglars made an attempt to rob
the Cross Roads saloon, run by
John Wood on Lincoln street, be-
tween LAS and 2:30 o'clock this
morning. With a rock in a hand
kerchief the glass in the rear door
was broken and the door unlocked
through the opening.
When the marauder attempted to
open the door a burglar alarm went
off, soaring them away. Nothing
was disturbed.
The police think the robber was
one of a gang of hoboes and yegg-
men who have lately come to Spo-
kane from Butte.

1.-THE first man who pokes his

men left with a Quilted crowd of II
men last night in one of the two sa
looms of Cheney.
The warning seemed to have
gone home to the hearts and the
sensibilities of the II. At any rate
it was at least an hour before Dep
uty Sheriff Abe Brown was notified
of the fact that the saloon had
been held up and one revolver and
about $500 in cash taken from the
II by the two.
In the excitement of the "wee

ROME CELEBRATES
Her FOURTH OF JULY

ROME, Sept. 20.-The anniver-
sary of the entry of the Italian
troops into Rome on September 20.
1870, was celebrated today through
out the country. The day was gen
orally observed as holiday, par
ticularly in this city, where the
celebration was on a large and
brilliant scale. The whole city was
profusely decorated with flags and
bunting and the streets were crowd
ed all day with crowds in festive
attire. A military parade, band
concerts in all parts of the town
and general obligations constituted
the program of the day. The may
or held a reception and as usual
offered the congratulations of the
municipality to the king, who an
swered to the municipal delegation
In a few well chosen words. In
the evening there We're gala corso
and fireworks to celebrate the day.
The goth of September is to the
Italians what the Fourth of July is
to the Americans, what the 14th
of July is 10 France. 1t marks the
anniversary of one of the most
eventual days in the history of the
country, the occupation of Rome by
the Italian troops. From lS49 to
1870 Rome was the capital of the
Papal State and a French army of
occupation was located there, nomi.

ereignty of the pope. When the
Franco-Prussian war began France
was compelled to withdraw its
troops from Rome and that had
scarcely been done when disturb
ances broke out in the Papal State,
which finally compelled King Victor
Emanuel to send troops there for
the purpose of preserving order. He
did not wish to occupy Rome, but
the inhabitants of the city them
selves demanded it and ON Septem-
Der 20 the Italian troops under Gen.
eral Cadorna entered Rome. A
short time after that they also oc.
cupied the Leonine City, to protect
the vatican from riotous mobs. The
occupation of the vatican precincts
was in accordance with request
of the vatican authorities and really
contrary to the instructions which
General Cadorna had received. A
week after the occupation the pop
ulation of the Papal States gave
an overwhelming vote in favor OF
becoming part of the Italian king
dom. Although the government had
not intended to include the Leonine
City in the union, the Inhabitants
of that part of Rome voluntarily
voted in favor of the union and the
Leonine City was Incorporated in
the Kingdom.
