Theory as to $4,000 Theft.

1t having proved impossible up to
the present to obtain any trace of the
$173, 900 which mysteriously disappear
ed from the Chicago subtreasury, the
secret service officers are now work
ing on the theory that an employe of
the subtreasury is subject to periods
of mental alteration. He has been
examined and has admitted to attacks
when his mind is a blank, and he can
not remember what occurred during
this time. 1t is thought that the man,
when in his normal condition is care
full and thoroughly honest, may have
taken the money and has now forgot
ten where it was placed. He will be
closely watched in the hope that some
clue to the location of the missing
money may be found.

In view OF the fact that as a re-
suit OF the discussion the vote upon
the definite treaty OF obligatory arbi-
tratlon, which was proposed. stood
80 In favor to 8 against the adoption
OF tho treaty. there can b little
doubt that the great majority OF the

a point where they are now rea " to

unanimously agreed upon by the con
