INDIANA BANK ROBBED. Four Men Take Rich Booty and Btcapa After Battle. After dynamiting the private bank of Young, Hamilton & Co. at Freelani, Ind., early Saturday morning two rub bers fought a running fight with dtizeas who were aroused by the fores of ths fxplosion and escaped with a booty estimated at $20,000., The first explosion was at about 1 o'clock. Freeland has night policeman and it was not until a second explosion was heard, which seemed to shake the very earth, that the citizens realized what had happened. The men, some say four, hurried from the bank as the earliest of the citizsns merged on the street and escaped after fierce running fight. THREE STEAMERS BURN.

When Congress naeets In December It will renew Its consideration of a bill which provides that California return the Yosemlte Valley to the United States government, so that It may be Incorporated In the surrounding na tional park. The most notable national park is the Yellowstone, which was set apart by act of Congress in 1872; less widely known are two park in southern alifornia, the General Grant and the Sequoia, and the Mount Rainier Park in the State of Washing ton. There are also many forest res ervations in which, for esthetic or economic reasons, the tres are protected from the ax of the woodman. Several beautiful regions, still under I private ownership, have been pro- j posed as worthy of government reser vation, notably certain great groves of redwood in California, the Mount Washington range in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and a splen did section of the Appalachian Mountains. It is fitting that nature's greatest and most beautiful gifts should belong to the people as a whole, and the proposition to add the Yosemite Valley to the Yosemlte National Park Is In line with the general movement for national control of the great tracts of mountain, valley and forest. ' Desertions In the navy are Increasing to such an extent as to give the naval authorities the gravest concern. No one 1$ able to understand why there should be such illegal withdrawals of the men from the service. It is all the more surprising when It is considered that the payment and privileges of the enlisted men have been made as attractive as possible, and all for the purpose of creating contentment among the bluejackets. One reason given Is that the punishment of the culprits who are apprehended Js altogether Inadequate and amounts to an easier existence than that of these who do their duty. The situation is so ' menacing that the authorities are devising some means of keeping the enlisted force up to its required strength, j The government crop report for September .was encouraging for all im portant crops except spring wheat A shrinkage of 21.3 per cent In the average condition of that cereal during August wa reported. This represents an estimated loss of 67,000,000 bush els, and brings the total for winter and spring growths down to 539,000,000 bushels, which is about 100,000,000 bushels less than last year's yield. Corn, on the other hand, although its condition fell off slightly In August promises a harvest of 2,488,723,9G0 bushels, which Is nearly 250,000,000 bushels more than last year's large crop. There is promise of an abundance of oats and minor cereals, and of hay, potato and other food and feeding crops. Colorado has an official snow inspector, the only officer of the kind in the country. His duty Is to Inspect the snow in the Rocky Mountains, and report its condition to the State Department of Irrigation. From his reports the officers of the department estimate the amount of water that will be available for Irrigation purposes each year, as the streams are fed by the melting snows. The inspector is a trained mountaineer who spend five or six months at his work, every year, going over trails known to no other white man, and feeding on raisins when no other 'food is available. The enlisted force of the navy Is coming more and more largely from the great body of native-born -American citizens. Last year the proportion of natives had risen to more than 90 per cent In 1S80 it was about 50 per cent It is thought that the current fiscal year will see an advance to 95 per cent The Army and Navy Journal notes the suggestive fact that most of the naval recruits nowadays come from the iulrsd States, a naval officer mentioning with special commendation the recruits obtained from the farms of Indiana, Illinois, Iowf. and Kansas. When the mint at Philadelphia was cleaned during the past summer the sweepings "boiled down" to two neat chunks of gold and silver. The floors had secreted nearly fifty thousand dollars' worth of dust and the chimneys of the nineteen furnaces had stolen more than $20,000. Many people have picked up money that they have dropped on the floor, but very few recover what has "gone up In smqke." -: :- Chief Engineer Wallace has been making estimates of the cost of the Panama canal work he has done with the result ihat he feels safe in asserting that the cost of the canal can be reduced greatly below the French figures through the employment of modern high-grade American machinery as a substitute for manual labor.

WATSON'S PEN IN ACID.

Populist Candidate in Letter of Acceptance Is Vitriolic. Thomas E. Watson's letter formally accepting the Populist nomination for President, has been made public. The letter, which is af Iressed to Samuel W. Williams, chairman of the committee on notification, is about 12,500 words long. It denounces fiercely the Democratic party and its candidate, declares the gold standard "unscientific and wrong," asserts that those who produce wealth in the United States are robhed of the fruits of their labor and charges "combined capital" with a plot to crush out individual liberty by downing the labor unions. The only hors for the "middle and lower classes," as Mr. Watson terms them, he sees is the rise ar.d growth to success af a third party, not subject to corporation domination. Constructively, he proposes a national board of arbitration to pass upon disputes between capital and labor, the adoption of the initiative and referendum for the making of federal laws and the ownership of public utilities. The letter opens with a lament by Mr. j Watson over the tendency of humanity to submit to the domination of a few, who use their power for oppression. Pass ing from historical examples to the condition of things now in the United States, he finds "symptoms which always have characterized the diseased nation when afflicted by class legislation." The corporations, according to' the Populist can didate, now rule the land and the people. "A blacker chapter than that which records how both the old political parties united to despoil the common people of the land," says Mr. Watson, "is not to be found in the annals of class legislation." Attacking the gold .standard, the candidate s?ys: The jrold standard is not "irrevocably fixed," because it Is unscientific and wrong. Nothing is more certain than that the people of this country Trill continue their struggle until they have a national currency which the money power cannot control, and which answers the purpose of perfecting exchanges without becoming an armory from which the buccaneers of modern finance draw the irresistible weapons with which they attack values and raid the markets. In what Mr. Watson terms "the farming out to the national banks of thepower, privilege and profit of supplying the country with paper currency," he finds a system whereby the "privileged fatten upon usury at the expense of the unprivileged," and hold "despotic power." Both the Republican and Democratic parties are "irrevocably fixed," Mr. Wat I son says, in their support of the national banks. In discussing telegraph, telephone, ex press and railroad management, the letter says: No other people among civilized nations are so cursed with corporate tyranny as ourselves. Half a dozen corporate kings can meet In the otKce of J. 1. Morgan and can tax the life out of any city or town In the United States. By a stroke of the pen they can add hundreds of millions of dol lars, to tne burdens or the people. They enable the trust to slay Its rivals by granting rebates, or special rates, which make competition impossible. They debauch pub lic morals by their methods or gaining what they want from governors, legislators. judges, editors, politicians and members of Congress. Passing to a denunciation of the "deady principle" of compound interest Mr. Watson attacks the Standard Oil Company, J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, ugust Belmont, Arthur P. Gorman and Charles M. Schwab for financial opera tions which, he says, have caused "a rising tide of angry discontent" all over the country. These evils all would be cured by the application of Populistic ideas, according to Mr. Watson. GREAT AUTOMOBILE RACE. Long: Island the Competing: Ground of Four Nations. Amateur and professional automobilists, including some of the most expert racing men in the world, met in a re markable competition over a 30-mile course on Long Island. The event was the first contest for the W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., automobile cup. It was international in character, and although the trophy was only offered last June eighteen cars entered, representing four rations the United States, Germany, France and Italy. The 30-mile course was traversed ten times, making a trifle over 300 mile3 for the route, and the club whose member won the race will hold the trophy for the coming year. This is the first time in America that anything on 60 extensive a scale in automobile racing has ever been attempted. It was practically the Gordon Bennett race transported to this country. The distance and the conditions were practi cally the 6ame, while the fact that three of the cars were competitors In the last Gordon Bennett race in Germany and that five cars took part in the famous Ardennes race in France imparted an international flavor to the event that has never been seen in automobile circles here before. There was no limit to the speed that the cars might go. The first one in was the winner. The 30-mile circuit gave an admirable test of all sorts of road condi tions, in some places being smooth enough for speed greater than the best railroad locomotive can attain, while in other places it was necessary for safety to slow down a bit. To appreciate the remarkable speed attained by the leading contestants in the race one has only to make a few comparisons. The winner, Heath, covered the 300 miles of the course in 5 hours 26 minutes and 45 seconds, or at an average speed of about fifty-five miles an hour, which is considerably faster than the average speed maintained by passenger trains in a twenty-hour run over the 900 miles from Chicago to New York. He made this time on a public road and in addition to guarding against chance obstacles on the way had to slacken his pace to admit of three fairly sharp turns ; on each of his ten trips around the 30mile triangle of the course. He was delayed, also, by a broken tire. This country was represented by five cars. One of these is an Italian machine of 90 horse power, which covered 230 miles in Italy at a rate of 90 miles an hour. Another machine, the Florida, owned hy William K. Vanderbilt, made a mile in 39 seconds in Florida last winter. 1 The Long Island race, now a subject of discussion among automobilists in all parts of the world, is hailed as another proof of the great possibilities of the automobile. Meantime, the automobilists pay the penalty of their reckless daring in holding these contests, Telesnaphic Brevities CÄe United States gunboat Petrel arrived at San Francisco from a cruise In Alaskan waters.

MARKS A CHURCH EPOCH.

Convention of the Protestant Episco palians in Boston. Leading churchmen from all over the world assembled in the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church of the United States in Boston. The im portant problems solved in this notable gathering, the far-reaching actions taken. will no doubt serve to mark this event as an epoch in church history. An in teresting international character was given to the gathering owing to the presof the Archbishop of Canterbury, I t being the first time that a primate of al England has attended a conclave of tfle American church, The opening service was held in Trinchurch, made famous by the late pishop Phillips Brooks, the sermon be: ,n preacned by the Archbishop or tyanterbury. In the provisional program was included a plan for business and other important meetings for every day of the triennial session. Fully 15,000 Episcopalians made this convention a memorahie one, and a fund of $20,000 was raised ior tne entertainment of the visitors, Bishop Lawrence gave a great reception at ms home on Commonwealth avenue. and the usual visits to the historic spots about the city were made. The matter of changing the name of the church was reopened by the report of a committee, headed by Bishop Tuttle of bt. Louis, which reported that it is in expedient to change the name at this time, the diocesan conventions having de cb.red against it by a vote of 1,101 to 696. Some of the delegates, however, urged a consideration of the proposition on the floor of the convention. Appeals and legislation for the good of the church in general developed numerous suggesa.' . 1 , uous ana mucn argument, The social functions in connection with - the convention were numerous and brilliaut the leading society women of Boston having planned a number of recentioni and other tratherinjrs nt which th visuors were the sneeiaf fruerts SAYS GIRL KILLED HERSELF. Brother Declares Minnie llarmeninjr Committed Suicide by Hanging;. From the confession of John llarmening, brother of Minnie Ilarmening, a 17-year-old girl, who was believed to nave been murdered in the barn at her father's farm near Palatine, I1L, it would seem that the girl had ended her own life by hanging from a beam in the barn. The boy, who is 20 years old. told his father that when he and the two younger children returned to the barn from the field they found the girl hanging from a beam by a rope, dead. Fearing the father would "feel bad" if he knew his daughter had committed suicide, they took the body down, he said, hid the rope and told the story which led to the theory that she had been murdered. To substantiate the story the boy went to the loft of the barn and produced the rope with which he asserted his sister killed herself. The story of the bov surprised the villagers and neighboring farmers. The father would not believe that the girl had hanged herself. Several did not hesitate to say they believed the irirl was murdered and then hanred to the rafter jn tne position in which her brother said he found her. On Thnrsrtar th I s-reA verrtir th AflWt thnt th had committed sujcide. The father. however, persists in his belief that she j was mdered. THE AIR SHIP FAILURE. St. Louis Fair Management Falls to Develop Aerial N a vacation. Of all the many undertakings of im portance at the St Louis exposition only one has failed, and that is the attempt of the management to develop aerial navigation. Two years ago Frederick James V. Skiff conceived the idea that it would ive an impetus to aeronautic progress and add to the attractions of the exposition if a generous money prize were offered to competitors in that science. The suggestion was adopted, and the management appropriated $200,000 for the encouragement of ambitious aeronauts. A grand prize of $100,000, the largest ever offered in the world for a mechanical achievement is to be given to whoever will make at least three flights over a fixed ten-mile course at a rate of speed not less than twenty miles an hour.

But two blocks of comparatively unimportant buildings have been reconstructed. Nor is it likely that much can be accomplish ed in that direction under a year. The rebuilding of Chicago and Boston each occupied from two to three years; the ex perience of Paters on was a bout the same. At such a time the building facilities of a fire-stricken city are taxed to the utmost Architects, builders and conI tractors and the various aJlied building I trades are overwhelmed with orders. which results in a congestion in every branch.
