ROBBERS STEAL
ALASKAN GOLD
BIGGEST PLOT FOR ROBBING
MAILS EVER DISCOVERED
IN ALASKA.
Sack Containing $4,000 in Gold
Dust Disappears, Being Third
Pouch Stolen in Month.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 23.-What is
believed to be the biggest plot for
robbing the United States malls ever
discovered Is now in operation In
Alaska. Only yesterday word was
received from the coast that the
third pouch missing in a month has
been reported at Skagway. The sack
contained $4,000 in gold dust.
addressed to Seattle banks. Post
Office inspectors who are already in
the north working on two former
robberies have taken up the latest
loss. 1t is almost certain the sacks
were stolen In transit on the Yukon
river boats between this point and
Dawson. Several men are under
suspicion, but no arrests have been
made.
Ever since the gold dust shippers
decided to use the mails for send
ing out the metal instead OF patron
izing the express companies because
OF the increased tariff this trouble
has existed. 1t necessitates the en-
ployment of guards by the Govern
ment to watch each gold shipment.
AS they have been practically un-
guarded up to date the robberies
were easy. and It Is believed the
thefts have resulted from the system
attic operations OF bandits working
with well-laid plans.

GETTING READY
FOR THE VOYAGE
DETAILS OF MOVEMENT OF THE
BATTLESHIPS ARE NOW
NEARLY COMPLETED.
Big Fleet VIII Reach the Pacific In
1908, and VIII Stop at Magda-
lena, for Target Practice.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Details OF
the movement of the great battleship
feet around the South American con-
tinent are being systematically de-
veloped aboard Admiral Evans flag
ship Connecticut and at the Navy
Department, where, by the Presi-
dents orders, various bureaus are
now authorized to execute plans for
the feet movement. 1t is settled
that the battleships, or at least a
number of them, will go to Puget
Sound. The number will be deter
mined by the capacity of the Sound
to accommodate them. The battle
ships will carry only 120 fathoms Of
anchor chain, and most OF the water
there Is more than sixty fathoms
deep, so, as safe practice requires
chains to be not less than three
times the depth of water, only few
vessels can be accommodated near
BremertO0 at once.
The details of the cruise will be
left to Admiral Evans and the details
Of preparation to bureau chiefs. The
precise~date Of departure Is not fixed
because no officer is willing to forego
target practice, although this makes
necessary certain amount OF re-
pairs to the ships. Also a number Of
turret changes will probably have to
be made as a result of the antici-
pated report OF the board of investi-
CATION on the accident on the battle
ship Georgia and inspecting turrets
OF the various ships. However, 1t
has been determined that all will be
In readiness to start on December
1st, and that between that date and
December Is the start will be made,
the feet steaming ten knots, which is
the most economical speed so as to
enable the colliers to keep up with
the warships.
Starting with full bunkers, ships
en- route will require 100,504 addi-
tional tons OF coal. Where possible.
American coal will be used, but much
foreign coal will have to be bought.
Msgdalena Bay. according to rough
plans. will be reached about March
8, but the itinerary at this point
gives ten days additional for target
practice, which will continue for
about a month.
Some OF the battleships will go
to Puget Sound and others to San
Francisco. Nothing has been set
tied about the return of the feet
and probably will not be until within
two months in advance OF the actual
return.

Must Maintain Great Fleet on Pacific

Must Maintain Great Fleet on Pacific.
New York, Aug. 2S.-Congress-
man Roberts of Massachusetts, who,
with other members OF the naval
committee investigating the needs of
the Brooklyn navy yard, said the trip
of the battleships via the Straits of
Magellan is for tactical reasons
alone. He said;
1--WE all believe the Suez route is
>the easier and cheaper, but going by
hard route will determine some OF
our needs in the Pacific, particularly
in the matter of coaling stations
along the mainland. | have not the
slightest doubt that a million dollars
will be used up by taking the Pacific
route, but If naval tacticians wish to
determine certain things now is the
time"
Representative Foss, chairman OF
the committee. said the committee
will probably ask Congress to su-
thorize four more battleships, and
added:
I'VE may as wen make up our
minds now that IL is necessary TO
maintain large feet in the Pacific.
Our interests are too great on that
coast to do otherwise"

JACK STERRETT
IN POLE VAULT
Sole Representative o.

George Washington University will be
represented AZ the jamestown cham
pionship next Saturday.
The followers Of the Hatchetite field

Lorando. the Buzz and Blue captain and

has decided 10 leave for the West on an
extended trip before the date of me
meet, and as things now stand, Jack
Sterrett. champion pole Vaulter Of the
south, will be the Buff and Blues sole
representative.
Sterretts showing during the present
season has been rather a disappointment
10 MS admirers. On account of The
fact that he has been holding down a
JOB In addition to his school work this
winter. he has been unable to do the
amount Of training which his branch
calls FOR. Local enthusiasts had con-
hdently expected to see him do eleven
feet this year in actual competition, but
his best mark has been between ten
feet six and ten feet eight. His record
during the past indoor and present out
door season follows;
Joint games in Fifth Regiment Armory
Baltimore January =; won.
Richmond intercollegiates on January
&c; won.
Fifth Regiment games in Baltimore
on February 8; second
Johns Hopkins games in Baltimore

Georgetown University games March
9; second.
Norfolk Young Mems Club games
March Is: won.
Southern Intercollegiate at Charlottes-
vile April 20: won.
Games at Patterson oval. Baltimore
May 30: second.
AS will be seen from this record mis-
showing has been remarkable SO far as
actually winning his event was con-
cerned, but at no time has his vault been
of a really collegiate caliber.
Sterrett is primed for the jamestown
contest. however, and confidently expects
to make a good showing and add an adj
dltional honor to his already long
string.
