THE ILLINOIS BANK RODBERY. Bpecial Dispatch to The Tribune, . Waisuinotoy, D, C., Dec. 25,—The Treasury Becret Bervice forcs on behalf of the Qovern- ment, and Plnkerton's sgency for the Adams Express Company, arc earncstly ot work to dls- cover the stolen money of the Iltinols National Hank, and to sccurs the thief. No defluite trace of efther lins been obtained. The ofticinls are very reticent as to thelr suspiclons. Evi- dence they have none, Thore ara scveral theo- rice as to the manner fn which the theft may have Leen commiited. Therels no una- nimity of opinlon except a8 to the conviction that the National Redemption Agency ia no way responsible for the losa, Busplcion attaches to partics In four differont places, holding dis- tinct positions In Goyvornment scrvice, in the employ of the Adams Express Company, and in the recelving bank at Clleago, It cannot be sald that the authorities have evidence or even suspicions which would warrant charging the offense upon any one place or person. Tho history of the package {s this: On the alternoon of Dee. 4, the Natlonal Redemption Agency, o the usual course of busineas, notifed the Assistant Treasurcr that thero should be sent to the Illinolis Natlonal Bank, Chicago, on redemption nccount, $11,000. Thisisthe amount of tle substituted package. This notlflcation from one bureau {othe other 18 given bya memorandum check. This notification fs en- tered n n form Look. It would have been pos- sible, perbaps, for any clerk in the Treasurer's office to open tho book and aacertain the charae ter of thomoney packages that were to bo die- patched the next day, the amount, denomina- tion of tho bills, and destination. The nuumbers alone could not be lcarned a3 no record s kept of the number of thu notes, cousequontly thie Tressury can never avail ftsclf of this advau- tageous™ clow in - case of loss, These packages are_daily sent to Natlonal Banks by the Adams Express Company, That Company hns ita oftice for the transaction of the Goveru- ment business In the basement of tho east room in the Treasurer's oflice. The ouly means of ofllclal communication is by a privaic elevator, the upper approach of which is guarded by Treasury officials, the lower by express compa- ny ollicérs. Tho elevator communicates only with these two rooms. The next morning after tho notification, the clerks of the Treasurer pro- pare the express recelpts correspunding to the entrlea In the book mentloned, and the wvault clerk makes up the mon- ey packaces in envelopes. Theso envelopes, with their respective amounts, sub- scquently puss through three bands, and receive separate scals in wax, Tho firat sealer verifies tho count of tho vault clerk, scals the package in the middle, and addresses it from the mem- orandum tag. The two other senders do not sce tho contents of tho envelope. The envelope is then banded to the persons in charge of the elevator, always moro than one, and taken to the express office below. There it Ia re- celpted for by the cxpress officers, who lake charge of it. At this polnt it fs clalmed the Trensurer's relnom bility censes. Between the timo the moncy s taken from the vault and the timo it reaches the express office substitution might bepoesible. If it was attemp- ted thera by the experts who dufly handle snch Endmgea, the work should have been skillfully one. It was not. The envelope whick contained the substituted paper is of a differcnt character aud mako from tho ofileial Government ewvel- opes used for such purpose. It fs much darker incolor. The ofcers have been unable to find in sny stationer’'s stock fn this city any envelope which corresponds with the one used io the substitution, It 18 urged in behalf of the Treasury elerks thot ft would lhave been Incompreheasible stupldity to have used such an envelope when tho regular officiul ones that were In dally use were right beside them. It is, however, of course possibla that the substitution could Lave boen mudo in the cash-room when the nnukngn reached tho office of the express company, It wea not recelved or receipted for by the persons generally in charge. ‘There aro_seven express oflivials on duty there. That _ aftornoon ~ there were hut two. It hoppened that there was a funeral that afternoon of the wife of one of the express clerks. Tho athers were attending it. 'llmur:wkugu was rocelpted for % o dudmly, It remained in the_office from 1: U1l 245 In the nfternoon of Dec. 0. Tho fact that the Adams Company bas sct Pinkerton's agency at work shows that some suspiclons pos- slbly may attach to its own employes. The next place to which it Is “clalmed that suspiclon attaches {s at the bank In Chicago. It Is not consldered probable that the fron safes could have boen opened In transit. The messengers are not provided with kt?‘l to the through safes, ucither fs it belloved that the Expross Company's officers in Chicago did anything but to dellver the pack- oge as they recelved ft. One circumstance s reported from Chicago which Is eugaging tho atteation of tho ofiicers: The packsge was delivored to one of the bank oflicers by the cxpress agent at 0:15, and re- cefpted for. There were two packages for the bank that morning—ono for $11,900, and the sub- stituted one for about §11,08), which was not disturbed. The bank officer, or clerk, who re- celved these packnges {s reported as stating that hio placed thess packapes in & compartment called “Coop,' locked them up, and retired be- foro oponing them to u retiring-room, and was absent tifteen mivutes. Upon hisreturn he imme- diately opened them, and found the amall pack- n;fiu cdrrect, whila the large one, bo says, cons tained only soft paper cut {if tho shape of bills, ‘This officer is represented to have fmmediately stepped from his * Coop,” and called the atten- tion of another clerk tothe falss packsge with the exclamation, ** How is that for high{" ‘This abacuce of fiftcen minutes 18 a clrcumstance which the officials clajm requires explanation. It 1s remembered that there was o similar absence {n tho retiriug-room when the package of §47,600 wag stolen from the Treasury last year, and it was numequentl)! rmveu upon the trial that that sum was left inacrevice In the retiring rmmluutu thero was an opportunity for its re- moval, Becrat-Bervice Agent Tyrell and Pinkerton's men are working the Chlcago end of the case, The ofticlals here' refuse all information os to clew, susplcions, or evidence, andare very much annoyed that tno facts have leaked out, WHAT MR, SCHNBIDER KNOWS ABOUT IT. Nothing new has transpired in regard to the matter of that package of brown paper recelved by the Bank of Illlnols {o return for about $13,000 mutilated currency sent to Washington for redemption. A roporter of Tus THIBUNE called on Mr. George Bchnelder, President of the bank, last evening, fn the hope of galning soma further information ea to the discovery of the person who substituted worthless paper for the money, but Mr. Schnelder was unsble to give anything more than bistory of the recelpt of the package, and his subsequent complaint to ihe Adums Expresa Company. Mr, Schneider suys that the amount of mutilated currency sent by his bank to the redemption agency at Washiugton was $12,000. Deducting the proper discount on mutilated currency, the baok sliould receive {u return somethivg over $11,000 u good mouey. In due courss of time a letter of advice cume fromn Washington, stating that the $11,000 had been scut, and soon afterwards uu express package, purporting to be the new, fresh currcucy, wus rucclved at the bank end veceipted for by the note-teller of that mstitution, It was opened by the pay- ingz-teller, who discovered, much to bis astunish- ment, that the puckage was totully worthless, und that, In fact, it contalned nothityg more nor 1ess thau brown paper put up ia the same wa in which the currvncy would bave been packed. Mr, Behnelder was {nformed of the fuct, and communicated it to the Adams Expreas Com- p:n‘y. ‘They ordered and_held a careful investi- 1inl [un futo "the whole affalr, and succeeded in Hinding that nobody In_thelr employ had been guPsy of perpetrating the fraud, ‘Cho matter waa next set befors the proper authoritics ot Washington, the bank people made vut affidavits to all the facts withiu thelr kuowledge, and an fuvestigation was started by the Secret Bervice Devartment, under the strictest aecrecy, in order that the person or persons who copgmitted the fraud wight uot be put on thelr guard.

Thero was a {ull attendance at Brothor Baw- yer's meeting last night, for which two reasons might bo given. The first s, that theso re- formed men as a class wers glad of the meetiug a3 a place of refugo from loueliness and tempta~ tion, many of them having no other home than @ chenp boarding-liones; and the second s, that having beon so lately aud so greatly blessed, thoy find a constant delight in such ro- liglous assembllies, The brotherhood among theso rescucd mon s strong and precious; they stand stronger by holding esch other’s hands. They have been wont to hold on to each, other in the days of thelr drunkenness to keep from falling Into the ditch, and mow they find mutual strenzth and courage and joy in singing and praying together, and in relating over and over again the wonderful story of Christ's great salvation, The Bavior Ilimself once said: *To whom much is forgiven tha samo Joveth much,” and this 18 well {llustroted in this Land of reforme ed, rocoustricted, regencrated drunkards, r. Cumimnings, of tho Chicago Board of Trade, struck the key-note of the meoting by quoting the Scripture; “ I amas a wonder to many, %uc God has been my strong refuge.’” Then followed, fn quick succession, a score or s0 of testimonies from men who felt their hearts bursting with joy and gratitude on that Chriat- mas night for what the” Lord Giod had done for their souls and bodles, ST nm 23 years old," sald one, * hut this {s my first Christmos.

I opposed his nomination first and last, becauso ho was always s Democrat and a fricnd of the Bouth, Ho scnt back the alaves who remained in Fort Donclson to dlalm the protection of our flnf.
