PEKING. December 19.-The throne has
sanctioned the construction of a telegraph
line into Lhassa. the capital of Tibet and
the residence of the supreme head of the
Lamast hierarchy
This innovation was recommended by
the Chinese resident at Lhassa who. since

office without his knowledge or consent
and that after much inquiry he learned a
considerable time before Goebel was killed
that Youtsey had the rifle Roberts said
he demanded that Youtsey return the gun,
which the latter promised to do. In the
meantime Goebel was shot, the rifle dis
appeared and it was not seen again by
either the prosecution or defense until
Roberts discovered it in Harlan county.
Witnesses will be introduced later to
trace the gun directly from the time it
was used by the murderer of Goebel
Roberts says he ran into the auditors
office fifteen minutes after Goebel was
shot and that Youtsey was there with the
gun in his hands. Roberts did not know
what became of the gun afterward Rob
erts explained that he had not testified at

sCHMITZ's SAFE DEPOSIT.

The safe deposit box in the sleep
ing room formerly occupied by the
mayor was so promtly discovered by
Elisor Biggy as TO lead one to sus-
pect that he had heard of it before,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
The story brings back touch of the
creepy sensation which used to run
up the backs OF young people who
read Mrs Radcliffe's novels of mys-
terry of a generation ago. If Schmitz
required a safe deposit box three feet
long and two feet deep when he occu-
pied his old home before the big
franchise deals, that in his new and
gorgeous mansion, if we could only
Zee 1t opened must rival in size and
in the brilliancy of its contents the
chambers of the count of Monte Girls
to, or those described in the Arabian
Nights.
OF course this device is not origi-
nal with the mayor. To say nothing
vi TIE tAdlPlCS Cuds
quoted, it is said that Boss Tweed in
the days of his glory used a similar
receptacle. OF course, so far AS the
public knows, the hole in the floor
might have been designed to hold the
money and family silver which would
naturally be accumulated by an hon
est union musician at $40 a week
and until there is evidence to the
contrary the mayor is entitled to
have it assumed that such was the
case. The public, however, we regret
to say, is very uncharitable and from
the tone of the current conversation
that comes to our ears we fear that
the general assumption is not that
the hole was the innocent receptacle
of plated silverware honestly come
by. but the depositary of the Schmitz
share of the Doodle extorted from the
under world of San Francisco.
