So new developments appear in tho Amriean National Bank robbery at lima, Ohio. Several exports were at Um bank, and made a thorough examination af tin work ins parts of the time looks ad combinations. Tbey found every thin? In perfect working order. Only ae deduction is made by any of the experts: The bank was robbed by some ae who knew toe combination, and that toe tisM lock was not set properly. The oaly ones who knew anything about how toe time lock was set wben the bank elosed Saturday night were Vice President Michael and Cashier Kalb. Botlt at firm in the statement that the loc!t was set for thirty-six hoars. The oaly possible theory is that the money was taken by some one who not only knew the combination on alt the doors, bat also boot the time lock and bow St was set.
Old Glory Floating- at Havana. Havana special: The citizens of Havana read in their Tuesday morning papers an order from Captain General Caste llano permitting the display of Cuban and American flags inside the lines of Spanish Jurisdiction, and early in the rorning the stars and stripes and the lone star of Cuba floated over many buildings in the heart of the eity and in streets where Spanish soldiers still kept guard. The only buildings excepted In the order are the Government offices. Havana, therefore, is bright with color and firecrackers are being exploded in the streets and on the plazas. Fear of the Spaniards disappeared with the appearance of these orders, for oat came thousands of Sags secretly made by the women of the households or clandestinely purchased from adventurous pect-
Dewey Still Need Shipa. Admiral Dewey cabled to the Navy Department asking when be might expect the Buffalo to arrive at Manila, and requested that she might be harried as Butch as possible. The Buffalo is carrying Nmeb to the Asiatic squadron to take the places of those whose terms of service have expired, and who are now exceedingly anxious to return to the United States. Admiral Dewey is not yet willing, however, to recommend any reduction of the fleet, and notwithstanding the reports to the contrary, he has never nvimaied any desire to come home himself, but in fact refused to take advantage of the permission extended to him of temporarily having the east and visiting Paris when the feaee Commission was there. Moody After the Blch. Zvangelist Dwight L. Moody finds it difficult to convince the rich men that they should contribute generously to keeping up the religious work and semicharitable institutions. Mr. Moody said recently: "They cling to their wealth as though tbey should carry it with them to the grave. Tbey should remember that their money will not buy th-m special . privileges in tlie next world. Thoy should not wait until death claims them. Let them donate now, and God may be merciful to them. . The curse of the Almighty follows the niggardly rich man." XfOOtinar a County Jail. Kew York special: The meanest burglars in New Jersey broke into tbe County Jail at New Brunswick and stole everything tbey wanted, including J700 from the Sheriff and Jailkeeper George liitterest, who is furious at the insolence with which the housebreakers behaved toward his institution. There is no precedent for burglars finding their way into tbe New Brunswick prison. They visit with impunity every other building in town, bat for a burglar to be injajljs. Wholly unknown. .. :
Strengthening th- Navy, rt The energy with which tbe Navy Department is strengthening its forces in , tbe Pacific Ocean is further emphasized by its decision to send 400 enlisted men t as quickly as possible across the conti nent to S.in Ffancisco, o be taken by tbe next mail steamer to Hong Kong. This action was taken in response to a requlaition from Admiral Dewey to send bim I awn to take charge ol the captured cruisl era Dun Juan do Austria, Jala de Cuba and lsla de. Luzon. Killed at a Funeral. At the funeral or Mrs. William Martin atNegaunee, Mich., a team, which drew A a buck carrying mourners, ran away. 5e' i William Kevern, a pi ll- bearer, who was walking beside tbe b:arse, was ran over

This failias to end her life, she secured her bus band's -razor and cut tier throat, dy

Jinyht, may have earned the tragedy.

WASHINGTON.
The Secretary of War has appointed
William P. Watson of Chicago auditor of
customs accounts for Cuba at Havana.

lis seat in tho House and at the same time hold his commission in the army.
The Washington Government, accord
ing to a dispatch from Auckland, has instructed the United States consul at Samoa to act with greater vigilance and not to intrust his dutits to his British and German colleagues. It appears the Ger

for German firms.
IN GENERAL.
A new counterfeit $1 silver certificate
has been discovered. It is of tbe series ot 1896, Brnee, registrar, Roberts, treasurer, and apparently printed from photo-etched plates on heavy bond paper. The execution is poor and the work would deceive only tbe most careless handlers.
Bradstreet's commercial weekly says: Current business conditions furnish some
sharp contrasts to those nsnally looked for or reported at this season of the year. It is, of course, reasonable to look for exceptional activity in holiday and retail trade generally at this date, and in this respect the most sangnine expectations appear to have been realized.

Before it was quctlco American regulars bad to be called for They did their work so well that onr Spanish sailor was killed and a dorei Cubans and Spaniards injured, Mime fa tally. The trouble started through the resent ment of some Spanish soldiers and sailon because the American and Cuban Hup were flying everywhere in the city, whit e event the Cubans were boisterously cole hrating.

A PRESIDENT'S PALACE.
before the adjournment of Congress, and Mr. Morrill had been visibly failing since. Justin S. Morrill was born at Strafford, Orange County. Vt., on April 14. 1S10. He received an academic education and engaged in mercantile pursuits until 1848. when he took up agriculture. He wns elected to Congress in 1.S55 as a Republican, and represented his native State in the Thirty-fourth. Thirty-fifth, Thirtysixth. Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth Congresses.

A Movement for thcKrectiou of a !,- 000,000 Executive Mansion. A movement is on foot for the erection of a new executive mansion for tbe President. Paul J.

The projectors want the (iovernraent to bnild n home for the President that will be a credit to the nation. They hnve found an ideal site on Meridian hill, bounded by West Sixteenth and Fourteenth streets. The crest of the hill is 202 feet above the Potomac, white the Capitol site is only 00 feet above the river. They say fifty-two acres can lie secured at moderate cost by condemnation, because there are few buildings on the land. The White House grounds have twentyone acres. Mr. Pelu's plan is drawn on n scale of striking grandeur. The proposed building is in the form of

The people have one can misunderstand their purpo.se. an answer ready for that question, and The war, the President continued, was It will gratify the President.
I araralate von even more because as a eeopla
we are now united and more devoted to national purposes ami more Imbued with the true national spirit, than we have been since the formation of the Federal Union. There are no divisions now. We stood united In front of n foreicn foe. We will stand
united until every triumph of that war has been realized. This, my fellow citizen. Is a fitting conelnstoii of n most remarkable trip I have made with my associates In the South. Nothing eotild bfi more appropriate. Only as one star differs from another does tills reception differ from those neeorclpit lo us nt every step.

AT MONTOOMKRY. AI.A. To tbe lieneml Assembly and itl-ns: The warni.heartil web-ome which has been given to me by the citizens of Alabama 1ms deeply toiieheil me, and In return for It I cannot Hnd laiigiitige lo express my gratitude and npfireclailon. To Iw web-oined here In the elty of Montgomery, the llrst capital of the i.'onfedivate States, warmly and enthusiastically welcomed as the 1'i-csl-dent of the common ro.intry. lias filled and Ibrllled me with emotion. !neo the capital of i he Confederacy, now the capital of a great and glorious Slate, one of the Indestructible Slates ot an Indestructible I-nlon. The Governor says he has nothing to take back. We have nothing to take hack for having kept yon In the Union; we are giail you ilbl not go out, and you are glad you slay-tl ia. Alabama, like all the States of the fnlon. North and South, has been loyal to the flag and steadfastly devoted to the American nation and to American honor. There never has been In the history ot the United States sura a demonstration of patriotism from one end of this country to the other as In lb:; year just passing, nod never has Amer-b-an vnlor been more brilliantly Illustrated In the battle line on shore and on the battleship at sea than by the soldiers and sailors of ilia rutted states.

I have spoken In many places and at many times of the heroism -of the American army and the American navy, hut In our recent conflict the whole people were patriots. Two hundred thousand men were called for, and a million rnslKMl ty get a place la the ranks. And millions stood ready if need lie. I like the feeling of the American people that we ought, not to have a Inrge standing army: but It has been demonstrated In the last f'W monvhs that we need a standing army large eiioifgli to do all the work re tpilred while we are at peace, and only rely on the great body of the people lu an emergeney lo Itetp us flglit our battles. We love peace. We are not a military nation, but whenever the time of peril comes the bulwark of tills people rests In the patriotism of Us citizens, and this tuition will h-; safe for aJI time because 7.",H 0,000 people love It. and will give up their lives lo sustain and uphold it. I thank yon. my fellow-cit'iens, for this generous warmth and wealth of welcome which yon have given nip to-day, and I shnll go Iwii-k to my duties at our great capital feeling t.hat we have a united country that aolc.i'ovfcedtfss allegiance lo bat, otic authority, and will march forever unitedly under one (lag, the gl irloiis old stars and stripes.
THE PROPOSED NEW WHITE HOUSE.
in legislation. Mr. Morrill's career as Senator exceeded in length that of any other Senator in the history of this nation. Thomas H, Benton, the first Senator from Missouri, served thirty-one years in the Senate. Senator Morrill was widely known in educational circles because of his successful advocacy of the art of 18(12 granting land to the various States for educational purposes. The act came to be known ns the Morrill land-grant act. It was from the proceeds of this fund and from his private resources that Esirn Cornell founded Cornell University. At that university and at many others Mr. Morrill's name is held in high honor, and a building at Cornell is named for him. The Senator had been for some years the patriarch of the Senate and held a warm place in the nffections of his associates. He likewise enjoyed tbe fullest confidence of his constituents, who. notwithstanding his years, re-elected him in ISptLfor a fifth consecutive term, which wfiufd not have expired until March 8, isfe! MOTIONLESS FIVE MONTHS
Milwaukee Girl's Strange Trance n Puzzle to Physicians. For five months Tiny Broesehit of Milwaukee has not spo';cn a word and lies in her little room entirely ohlivions to hei snrroiinrirngs. Every effort to attract her attention or make her so much as raise an eyelid has completely failed. She is gradually wasting away; death is the only thing which her family and friends think will relieve her from her suffering. She has become greatly emaciated, takes but little food and seems simply to exist without interest in the outward and apparent
White House, and its approach from the south side is to be buttressed by walls, terraces and broad flights of .-.airs, somewhat after the style of those on the west
side of the Capitol. The architecture U j

Obscured for the Third Time in the Course of a Year. For about an hour and a half Tuesday night, where clouds did not obscure, it seemed as if a black hand had been put over the face of the moon. Her silver face was blotted out and the sky wns as if she had never been. In her flight about Unearth she slid for a period of six hours and eighteen minutes through the converging

She is not in n trance, for during the greater part of the day her eyes are wide open and fixed with a wisrfnl glance upon one corner of the room, where she seems to see things that other people cannot gee. Hypnotists are experimenting with the girl mid claim to have made progress in reviving her. They expect to ultimately succeed. Physicians, however, find no change in the girl's condition. ILOILO IS GIVEN UP. Spanish Governor Surrender! It Presumably to the Americana. Iloilo. cupitnl of the island of Panay, in the Philippines, bus been surrendered to the Americans. (Jen lllos, the Spanish commander in the Visnyas, cabled tbe Madrid Government as follows from Iloilo: "Am preparing to embark on the steamer Leo XIII. for amboanga, island of Mindanao, having formally surrendered Iloilo. in the presence of the military and naval commanders, the mayor and the foreign consuls. Hnve charged the eriiian consul with the protection of Spanish interests." Wrecked by CarelCMBnetis.
The coroner's jury in the intiiest held nt St. Kevern. England, in the ease of the sti'amship Mohegnn. returned a verdict that the wrecking of the ship was due to carelessness ami irregular navigation. Some of the jurors suggested that the captain willfully ran the Mohegnn upon the rocks. Mmterinu Out Volunteer. With regard to the mustering out ff volunteers, Secretary Alger says the policy will lie to fust recall 2."i,000 men who are volunteer regiments. When that has been done the volunteers in the regular ntuiy will be mustered out.

July 3 the silver orb that floats in the sky had a section of its bright surface obscured by the shadow of a partial eclipse that could be seen only in Europe. The eclipse Tuesday followed to the second n schedule that was calculated fully fifty years ago by the astronomers of that time.
GOLD GALORE.
Report front Dawson Indicate increase in output of lOO I'er lent. Reports from all the creeks in the vicinity of Dawson indicate that the winter's produce of gold will exceed last year's by more than 100 per cent. New strikes are being made daily and the indications tire thr-t the full extent of the Klondike placer regions has by no means been yet determined. All known localities are crowded with hard-working miners, who are push ing development with a rapidity unparalleled in this country. American genius has furnished thawing machinery and frost extractors which enable the miner to work economically and speedily, so that the gold production this winter will be at considerable less cost than heretofore.

M'KINLEY'S ATLANTA SPEECH
I cannot withhold from this people my profound thanks for their hearty reception and the good will wlfich tliev have shown uc everywhere and In every way site" I have been their guest. 1 thank tliein for the opportunity which this occasion gives me ..f meeting and greeting them and for Hie pleasure It affords mo to participate with them iu honoring the army and the navy to whose achievements we are ludebted for one of the most brilliant chapters of American history. other parts of tbe country have had their public thanksgiving and jubilees hi honor of historic events of the past year, but nowhere has ihere been greater rejoicing than among the people here, the gathered representatives of the South. I congratulate them upon their accurate observation of events which enabled them tn tlx a date wh'ch Insured them the privilege at being the first to celebrate the signing of the treatv of peace bv the American and Spanish commissioners. I'uder hostile fire on a foreign soil, fighting In a common cause, the nie-iiorv of old disagreements has faded into blstorr. From camp and campaign there comes the magic healing which h;:s closed ancient wounds and effaced their scars, l-'or this remit everv American patriot will forever rejoice. It Is no small Indemnity for the cost of war. This (iovermueut has proved Itself Invincible in the recent war and out of It has come a nation which will reiualu indivisible foieverninrc. No worthier contributions have been made In patriotism and in men tlitin bv the people of these Southern States. When 'at last the opportunity came they were eager to meet it. and with promptness responded to tbe call of the country. Intrusted with the able leadership of men dear to them, who had inarched with their fathers, under another (lug. now fighting under the old flag again, they have gloriously helped to defend Its spotless folds and added new luster to Its shining stars. That flag has been plnutcd in two hemispheres, and there It remains, the symbol of liberty ami law. if progress anil peace. Who will withdraw from th people over whom It flaats Its protecting folds' Who will haul it down r The victory we celebrate Is not that "f a inter, a President or a Congress, but of tbe people. The army, nhose valor we admire; the navy, whose "achievements we appiaml. were not assembled by draft or conscription, but from voluntary enlistment. The Ihtoos came from civil as well ns military life. Trained and untrained soldiers wrought our trlu mplis. The peace we hav- won is not a S'-ltish tnov of arms, but one whose conditions presage good to humanity. The domains secured under the treaty yet to be noieditpou bv the Senate came tn ns, not at the result nt a crusade of compiest. bat in the reward of temperate, faithful and fearless response lo the call of coascleuce. which could not be disregarded by a llberty-loviug and Christian people. We have so bume ourselves In the conflict and In our intercourse with the powers of the world as to escape complaint of complication, and give universal confidence of our high purpose and unselfish sacrifices for strnggllng peoples. The task is not fulfilled. Indeed. It Is only Just begun. The most serious woik Is still before us, and every energy of hear! and mind must lie bent anil the Impulses of partisanship subordinated to its faithful cmsoiI . on. This is the time for earnest, not faint hearts. New occasions teach new duties. To this nation and to every nation then comes fiTiiiatlve periods in lis life and history. New conditions can be met only by new metlioiis. Meeting these conditions hopefully a ad facing them bravely and wisely is to lie the mightiest test of American virtue and capacity. Without abandoning past limitations, traditions and principles, but by meeting present opportunities and obligations, we shall show ourselves worthy of the great trust which civilization has Imposed upon us. At Hunker Hill liberty was at stake: at (letnsburg the 1'nlou was the Issue; befure Manila and Santiago our armies fought, not f.tr gain or revenge, hut for human rights. They contended for the freedom of the op. atessed, fnr whose welfare the United States has never failed to tend a helping baud to establish and uphold, and, 1 believe, never will. The glories of the war cannot he dimmed, lor the result will be Incomplete and unworthy of us miles supplemented by civil victories, harder possibly to win, in their way no less Indispensable. We will have our difficulties and our cm. barrassiuents. They follow all victories and accompany nil great responsibilities. They are Inseparable from every great movement or reform. Hut American capacity has triumphed over all lu the past. Doubts hnve ia Hie end vanished. Apparent dangers have been averted or avoided and our own his-to-v shows that progress has come so nnterallv and steadily on the heels of new mid grave responsibilities that as we look back up ot the acquisitions of territory by onr fathers we are tilled with wonder that any doubt could lime existed or any appro, lieiision c.,uld have been felt of the wlsdnni "f their action or their capacity to grapple v 1 1 ti the 'ben untried and mighty problems. The republic Is to day larger, stronger ami better prepared than ever before for wis" and profitable developments In now dlree ti'oi and among new lines. 1'von If the inliols of s'.mo if our own people are still disturbed by perplexing and nnslous doubts. ;n which all of us have shared and still ..hare, Hie genius of American clvlliiatbm nlll. I believe, be found both original and creative and capable of subserving all 'lie great Interests which shall be confided to our keeping. forever In the right, following the lest Impulses and clinging to high purposes, using property and within right limits onr power and opportunities, honorable reward must Inevitably follow. The outcome cannot be in doubt. We could have ambled all the dlflleullles that lie across the pathway of the natboi if i few months ago we li ol coldly Ignored ilie piteous appeals of the starving Hid oppressed Inhabitants of "nba. If we hail iillnded ourselves to the conditions so m-.ir ur shores and turned a deaf oar to our siifterlug neighbors, tbe Wane of territorial ex-

would not have been raised. ilut. could we have Jnsilficd atfch a course? Is ;here any one who would n.- declare ancther lo have been lite better course? Wlrll less humanity and less r-oirage n our part, the spanltli flag. Instead of the stars and strip -s. would still be rliutthig at. tvit-. at 1'. -nee and at Santiago, and a "chance in the race ef life" would be wanting lo millions of hinuau beings who io-,l;iy call this nation ll'ddc, and who. I trust, will live to call it hloSM'd. Thus far we have done ..ur supreme duty. Shall we nw, when Hie victory won In war is written In the treaty of pence ami the civilized world applauds and waits In expectation, lurn timidly away from the duties' Imposed upon the counti-y by Its own great deeds? And when the mists fade away and
, we see with clearer vfslon, may we not go forth rejoicing In a strength which was em
ployed solely for humanity and always been tempered with justice and mercy, confldenr of our ability f-t meet lite exfeenctes which awail ns, because confident that our course Is one of duty and our cause that of right.
AT SAVANNAH, OA. There Is cause f.r ezraiiilaiton that with the grave problem before ns growing out of the war with Spain we are free from any divisions at home Onr llnaucial ami revenue policies cannot be changed for at least four years, and whatever legislation may lie had affecting them during that perloil. will be to Improve and strengthen, not c.estroy them. The public mind cau, therefore, repose In reasonable security, while business will proceed without apprehension of serious and, sudden changes so ills' urbln;i to i.he commercial world and so distraettug to the bus. iness men. All of which Is fortunate to the country, for every interest and every section of the country. Kven those w to. desire other and illffer-nt policies prefer permanency to constant change, or what Is almost as hurtful, the fear of -hange, There are happily now no domestic dif. ferences to check the progress and prospertty of the country which nr peaceful rebitl.tns wilb the w'il;l will encourage and strengthen. This is fortunate, too. In another sense. It leaves the country Tree to consider and discuss new questions, which are Imn edlaiely befire its. unbiased by party or political alliances. These new questions ar? to be tliouli; out and wrought out, not lu a spirit cf partisanship, hut lu a spirit of patriotism: noi for the temporary advantage to one party or the other, but for the lasting advantage of the country. Neither prejudice nor p::sion, nor previous condition can omiiarrasi the free action and cahn judgment of the question. We have entered upon new paths. We are treading In an unexplored Held, which will test our wisdom and statesmanship. The ehlef consideration Is one of duty: ouc actions must be controlled by it. No settlement Is admlssllde which will uot preserve our h iuor and promote the best interests of all concerned. With a united country and Ibe gathered wisdom of all the people, seeking only the right. Inspired only by high parpoRes, moved only by duty and humanity, we cannot err. We n.ay lie baffled or deterred and often discouraged, but final success ill a cause which U altogether unselfish and humanitarian can auly be deferred, uot prevented. If. following Hie clear precepts of duty, territory falls to us ami the welfare of an alien people requires our guidance and protection, who will shrink from the responsibility, grave though It may be? fan we leave tho.-ie people, who, by the fortunes of war and our own acts, are help, less and without government, to chaos and anarcny after we have destroyed the only government they hnve had? After destroyln their government, It Is lie- duty of the American ;uvei-iun,.nl to provld" for 'hem a better one. shall we distrust ourselves, shall we proclaim to the world our lunMtily lo civ-' kindly government to oppressed peoples, whose future, by the victories of war. Is conildod to us?
We may wish it were otherwise, but who will question 'Mir duty now? I It is not a question of keeping the Islands I of the Kast. but of leaving them. Unwey and Meriitt took them ami the country lu- j Kiantly mo! universally .applauded. Could I we have br .eight Itewey away without mil- 1
vers.il condemnation ;.t any time from the 1st of M.iv, tho day ol his brilliant victory, which thrilled the world with Its boldness and heroism? Was It right, I" order llewey to go to Manila and capiure or destroy tbe Spanish fleet, ami dispatch Merrltt and his army to r'-ehforee hint? If It, were our duty lo send iliem there and duty required them to remain there. It was their clear duty to annihilate the fleet, Hike the city of Maiilln ami lest roy the Spanish sovereignty In the archipelago. Having done all that ia the Hue of duty. Is then' any less duty to remain there and give tn the Inhabitants protection mo) also our guidance?
Free Fllips Asgain. Tli uneasy spirit of frw trade is again, inisbing the theory that fho best way to prepare for naval emergencies ten tho future is to adopt the free ship iwllej-, Admitting anybody's vessels to Ajiierbsiti registration.

The Treaty of Peace. ' The .full text of the treaty of peace between the Vnited States and Spain is much trwt'o satisfactory tbati the abstracts' sent from Paris. From begluni'i to end it reflects credit on all persons coneernetl In its negotiation. From the text it. is clear that lresitb'tit MoKinley's Instructions covering essential points aril principles were carried out in tbe nifinutest. detail. The trt;- as it stands shows that the administration yielded no point nflVetiug the interests of the United Slates and that tin; eoinniissioiiers appointed by the rrositlent. while standing tirm in the fnco of thecals from Spain to
break oft negotiations nud against the iuli'igiU's ot Kimmran diplomacy, maintained tint dignity and exhibited the judicial temperament of high ambassadors. There, is not a careless liue in the treaty. There is not a phrase that can be misunderstood. There Is uot a stateincut as to conditions that can lie made tbe subject of controversy. There is uo evnsiou of issues, no subterfuge; there are no tricks iu language. Chicago Inter Ocean. Scctiounl Lines Obliterated. The passJng of the general pension bill in the House, carrying- an appropriation of $14o.tMlO,HIO, without nny opiiosRion from the Iiemoerats, South or North, is significant.

There was nothing of that sort in the House in Ibis caste, however, anil there will not lx in the Senate. No sectional ontest can ever be waged again in Congress. Nobody, South or North, will ever attempt to draw the geographical Hue again in politics. The
