WAS IT ATTEMPTED ROBBERY 7
Celling llronkliig ut tlio Post Olllco Causes
SJoino Incitement.
Some excitement was caused this morn
ing by a report that an attempt had been
mado to burglarize tlio post ofiico. Tho re
port was duo to a discovery mado by tho em
ployes when they euteied the placo this
morning. There was an opening iu tho
ceiling about II feel long and 18 inches wide,
which had been mado from tho apartment
over tho post olllco. This apartment is the
second from tho corner of Oak stieet, front
ing on Main street, and was formerly occu
pied by tlio Friendship Social Club, but lias
been vacant for a long time. Tlio post olllco
peoplo concluded that tho burglars were
frightened away before making a bulllcient
opening to allow tho lowering of ono of their
number into tiie post olllce. Several young
men say they practiced witli tlio Scanlan
Durkiu Company in the theatre part of the
building until 11:30 last night and saw no
suspicious characters. Alex. Strouso says ho
was at his pool room on the nearest opposite
corner to the building until o'clock this
inurning and saw nothing to arouse his
suspicious. Tho police made ficipiuut trips
in the neighborhood lust uightaud thismurn
ing, but did not have theirsuspicions aroused,
and tlio watchman in the First National
Hank, which is immediately next to the post
olUcc, beard nothing.
Postmaster Mellet is of the impression that
the attempt was mauo by some bungling local
crooks and says they may have secreted
themselves in tlio building some time during
tho day. P.J. Ferguson, the owner of the
building, scouts tho idea of an attempted
robbery. Ho says ho was in the loom over
tho post ollico with a gas litter yostenlay
afternoon and saw that an opening made in
the llooring some liino ago to make gas con
nections had been left uneoveied. It is his
belief that some fietiienter of tho building
strayed into tho room hist night and acci
dentally stepped into tlio opening, breaking
tho celling of the post ollico mum. Post
master Mellet says biirglais would gain
nothing in the olllco. They could only
cause inconvenience by cither scattering or
destroying mail matter.

BUggqsted that since the sennto contnilttco

lay. Mr. Qulgg, of Now York, nnd Mr.
McCroary, of Kentucky, asked Mr. Adams
for his opinion of what attltudo this gov
ernment should thko toward tho Insur
gents. Tho opinion of Mr. Adams was that tills,
government should bo slow to tako nny
radical action, Undor tho usngo of Inter
national law ho bcllorod lb to bo tho duty,
,of this govornmoilt to sustain tho power
with which It had treaty relations, as tho
treaties with Spain bound It to do,
Tho point was rnlsod by Mr. McCroary .
that thb nuthorlty for recognizing tho bol
llgcrcncy of tho Cubans wns held by tho
prosldent, nnd did not bolong to congress.
Mr. Smith mado n vigorous reply to this
nrgumont, declaring that no stntuto nnd
no provision of tho constitution Invested
tho prcshlont with suchpowor. Wliilo this
nuthorlty hiul been exercised by tho presi
dent, It Was a matter for congress. A joint
or concurrent resolution, which, if ndoptcd,
must bo signed by tho prosldont, was tho
proper method.
Mr. Money, of Mississippi, questioned
him concerning tho existence of war,
urawliig a distinction between wnr and In

that thero was unciuestionablo ovldouco in
