Gold usually is brought to the yes

day before the date OF sailing, and IL
is stored away carefully before pas
sengers embark. II arrives at the
pier in ordinary trucks, under the
guard Of armed men. The customary
method of getting the gold on board
is to haul the kegs up an inclined
chute to the deck by means OF a hoist
ing engine, but this method is not fol

keg is placed in a sling and carried
on board by men detailed for this
service.
The receipt given by the steamship
company sets forth that so many kegs
have been received for shipment, not

CHICAGO. April s.-aov. Wilson

CHICAGO. April 9.-Gov. Wilson has been making speeches in Illinois, and while at hotel in this city his room was entered and robbed of a number of private papers. It is be- lieved that this was the work of some political opponent who desired to get inside information on Will sons political lineup, so that it might be used to the detriment of the leading candidate of Democracy for the Presidential nomination. LITTLE ROCK, April 9.-Prima- ries held yesterday throughout the state for Democratic presidential preference seem to favor Champ Clark.
 MEMPHIS, April 9.-The condi- tions in some sections are getting more desperate.

The only new feat ure brought out was a statement that he never said he was a candi- date in order to favor reciprocity.
 LONDON, April 9.-Yesterday the miners generally throughout Eng land returned to work Practically every operator was prepared to re- sume work. There has been great rejoicing among all elements, as the suffering inflicted by reason of the strike has been something terrible. Not only were the miners idle, but the shortage of coal compelled many industries to close down, and as a result thousands were thrown out of employment.
 HAVANA, April S.-At a conven- tion of the Conservatives nomina- tions were made this morning. Juan Mario Monocal and Jose Enrique Va roma were named for President and Vice President, respectively.
