The Fort Laramie Robbery,
Washington, March 21.—The at ten
tionofthe department of justice hai
been called bv the war department to
the robbery of Paymaster Bush,of $7,400
near Fort Laramie, Wyoming, and it is
probable that a reward will be offered

robbed in person, but that the express
packages bearing remittances of funds
sent by him to other forts were stolen.

"Moodier" Cleary.
Nkw York, March 21.—In the trial of
ex-Alderman Cleary to-day, his counsel
Shafer made an attack on the press of
the city, charging theui with bfing in
league to secure the conviction of his
client. Slmfer spoki-In terms of bitter
invective against the proprietor of a
morn'ng paper of this city. He was
brought to a stop by the sharp sound of
the gavel. The jourt said thn jurors
knew nothing of paper assaults and the
counsel must desist. Then furiously
turning upon the twenty reporters
around the table, the advocate yelled,
"there they re.tbfre thev are,the burn-
ing gen I us of the press. There isn't one
of them you could trust in your house,
except the fat man." Three or four
fleshy quill pushers at the table, each
taking this to hluiself. blushed confus-
edly. He contended that the testimony
lhat the defendant had been seen at the
meetings of the other boodiers wae cook-
ed up by detectives. His client, was a
poor man and waspayingforhlBdefenge

spoke for two hours.

The President's Health.
Washington, March 21.—Dr. Z. I).
Sowers.one of the most prominent phys-
icians of Washington, in an interview
with a reporter to-day declared that
there is danger that President Cleveland
will not live through his term, unless
there is a change in his living. Dr. Sow-
ers six months before Manning's Illness
made the same predictions with regard
to the secretary, and advised a friend to
warn him of his danger. In an Inter-
view to-day Sowers says: It
may be deemed Impertinent to
talk to the president through
newspaper men, but 1 know of no other
way of re tchlng him and those about
him so surely. You recall my attempts
with the friends of Manning and their
fruitiessness, and I do not feel that I
Bhould lake the Fame chances in this
matter. I am personally apprised of the
president's condition, and while It is in
no sense dangerous, It will not be long
before there will be reason for alarm.
President Cleveland Is a large, fleshy
man, and since he came to t'ie White
house has gained enormously In flesh.
Now, when he lived In Buffalo. It was
his habit to take long walks. Since lie
came here, however, he has abandoned
every form of exercise save carriage
riding. That is of little or no use, wlih
the springs now in use and th» smooth
streets for which Washington is famous.
The president is a man who works with
bis head a great deal. He is, in fact, an
intense brain-woker. He Is. In other
words, a plodder, and his bmin Is con-
stantly filled with an excess
of blood. What Is the re
suit? He works with hie head,
eats enormously and fails to exercise his
muscles. His blood vessels are weaken-
ed, aud it Is only a question of tune
when In a moment or excitement he
bursts a blood veBBel. I tell you at the
rate President Cleveland is now living,
there is great danger that he will not
live throughout his term. Something
should be dime to bring him to realize
his danger, and to take proper steps to
prevent the results which will surely
ensue If he falls to take proper exercise.
What I should recommend,would be the
fixing up of a room In the White Houae
and setting apart half an hour every day
for gymnastic exercises. That alone in
my opinion will prevent a catastrophe
the avoidance of which not only the
president, but the country atdarge Is in-
terested In securing.
Tho Interstate Commissioners.
Washington, March 21.—The Star to-
night says : " Colonel Lamont admitted
to-day that the president had decided
upon three of the five Interstate com-
missioners, but said it was not proper
to say anything about the men selected.
The selection of the other two Is still In
abeyance. He said there Is every rea-
son to suppose that the names selected
are as heretofore announced—Morrison,
Bragg and Cooley.

The Buffalo Hotel Fire.
Buffalo, March 21.—No more bodies
linve been found in the ruins of the Rich-
mond hotel up to noon to-day, when
the searching party were withdrawn,
owing to the shaky condition of the
wills, which are to be pulled down at
once.

morning and Its contents, including

Another Fire Near ltufTalo.
Buffalo, March 21.—A special from
Jamestown says: A fire at the Chautau-
qua Assembly Grounds early this morn-
ing destroyed eighty buildings, includ-
ing several large boarding houses,among
them the Eckcrt. Parkhurst and Allein
houses. The total loss will piobably ex-
ceed one hundred thousand dollars. The
fire started shortly before midnight In a
cottage on Simpson avenue It was
caused by a defective Hue. The build-
ings and" cottages were of wood und
clufe together.
The lire spread rapidly to the adjoin-
ing cottages, and the lack of lire appa-
rnius and help favored tho flaiiics.
About sixty iHinilles remain on the
grounds during the winter season. Ti;°
fire swept everything before it, taking
both sides of Simpson and Summerflelu
avenues, from the Auditorium to the
Hotel Atheneum. It was with grer.c
difficulty that the hotel was saved.
A Lawyer Indicted.
Richmond, March 21.—Mr. William L
lioyal, counsel for foreign bondhold-
er and representing affairs In connec-
tion with the Virgmia debt, was to-day
convicted In the hiodlngfcourt of intim-
idating the grand jury of that court.and
w«s lined $150 This'rate Is the result
of an Information Hied last month
against Ifoyall by the commonwealth's
attorney, who charged that at the Jan-
uary term of the court because the
grand jury presented Indictments
against Royall for barratry,
hi- (Royall) Instituted suits against the
Individual members of the grand jury
for $10,000 damages each, claimed be-
causo of their action In bringing the In*
dictments. Furthermore Itoyall was
charged with intimidating through the
pre6s and otherwise, tlint he would sue
every grand juror who In the future
Bhould Indict either him or his clients
for acts done in alleged violation of law,
under which lie had already been
Indicted, and that in pursuance of that
threat, he (Royall) had attempted to In-
timidate and Impede the grand jury ap-
pointed for the February term, so that
they had declined to bring In an Indict-
ment against him for fear of suits for
damages. Mr. Royall has to pay a fine,
and Is held In custody,and will probably
sleep In jail to-night. He will apply for
a writ of habaes corpus.

Ington Is aware of the government's
plans and has approved them. He will
doubtless carry the bulk of his followers

amendment will last soveral nights, and
it is certain that Mr. Gladstone will

ties have used urgent whips.

ing was held to-night In the Cooper
Union to protest against the enactment
of the proposed coercion measure for
Ireland by the English parliament The
meeting was held u der the auspices of

coe C'onklln sent a letter ex-
pressing sentiments appropriate to
tho Occasion. The resolutions passed
quote "England's greatest statesman"
In saying: -Force is no remedy," and
declaring that home rule In the estab-
lishment, of a parliament to deal direct-
ly with local questions is the only basis
of a settlement of Irish questions. The

of a total of $510,750. Kiing thinks the
assets will be about $100,000, and as-
sumes that the crotiitors will receive
about 75 per cent, of their claims. He
considers Lawton's Cat-tail island tho
principal assei. but this already has $1,-
250,000 worth of mortgages. It was ex-
pected that the legal battle to determine
which of the various mortgages on the
Island shall take precedence will bo one
