kill, he ordered the men to back in
to the vault.
Mr. Ellsworth and Mr.. Hart, forced
to comply, retreated into the vault
and then the bandit ordered:
Hand me out all the money you
can reach and be quick, or l will blow
your heads OFF"
The cashier quickly reached out
loose gold and currency to the amount
of $500 which the bandit showed in
to his pockets and bag.
With further oaths the highwayman
slammed shut the door Of the veult

back with cries for help. The lad ran
out, giving the alarm and a number
of citizens were quickly in the bank

1t Has Become a Question as to Whether

at the same time to keep a sharp eye
as well on the other mansions of Mr..
Rockefeller's friends in the immediate
vicinity.
Similarly, another detail Of Burns men
began picketing the William Rockefeller
estate at Tarrytown. A decision has
been reached to guard in a like manner

In this manner has issue been joined
between Mr.. Rockefeller and the gov

be a nationwide search if necessary, and
a war to the finish to decide whether

the government and can set at defiance

reveal him without doubt or argument
as a Spaniard. DR.. Horta says that
the Italian lineage OF the discoverer

America and Russia throws upon the ad-
ministrative and judicial officers of the

well as the conservation of a rapidly
growing trade already amounting to
more than $4,000 900 annually. The
treaty which had been in effect since
1892 was denounced by the United States
as a result of popular feeling against
Russia's refusal to recognize passports

EX-PRESIDENTS AUTOBIOGRAPHY
WILL BE INTERESTING.
PUBLISH MIKADO'S LETTER
Mikado Asked Roosevelt to Open a Way
for Peace Negotiations-Publica-
ton Of Letter Will Create
Sensation in Japan.

Washington.-Ncw light Of a surpris.
ing kind will be thrown on the negotia'
tions preceding the close Of the Russo
Japaneses war in a series OF papers now
in preparation by ex-Presldent Theodore
Roosevelt. The papers, which will be
published in a magazine, will be in the
form OF an autobiography. Naturally
this will be devoted in large measure to
things about the Portsmouth peace con-
ference between the Russian and Jap
anese diplomats.
1t has long been known that the war
brought Japan almost to the verge Of
bankruptcy, but the general opinion has
prevailed that after the severe defeats
at Port Arthur and along the Yalu
river it was the Russians who sued for
peace. But, as Col. Roosevelt will tell
the story, it was the victorious japanese
who took the first step to end the war.
The offer of this government to assist
in terminating ho5tilities came not on
the suggestion OF Russia, but at the d.
rect request Of Japan.
Col. Roosevelt has at his disposal doe
umcntary proof Of his account of the
peace negotiations. Most striking of
the papers that he will bring forward
is n personal letter from the late
mikadO TO President Roosevelt asking
him to open a way for peace negotia-
tions. The text of this letter will be
printed in the Portsmouth chapter, and
is expected to produce a sensation in
