ST. JOHNS, N. B, Nov. 3.—A tele- gram from Salvation Army headauar- ters in Toronto announces the new commissioners for the army in the United States and Canada. Miss Eva Booth, who. for eight years, has been in command in Canada, will be com- mander in the United States, with headquarters in New York City. Commissioner Kilby, who will be Miss Booth's deputy commander, has been in charge in South Africa. He will have partial jurisdiction of the Western section of the United States, with headquarters in Chicago. Booth- Tucker, now the head of the army in the United States, will return to Eng- land, but his future charge is not an- nounced. Commissioner Thomas Coombes, who was the first to command the army in Canada and who is now in charge of the British Isles work, will succeed Eva Booth as commander in Canada.

In connection with another list submitted we have found that A. J. Milliken moved from 520 Bush street to 306 Taylor street, having changed his régistration at the proper time, and therefore being entitled to vote, The same obtains in the case of P. G. F. Schmidt who moved from 520 Bush strest to 238 Kearny, and cf G. T. Lubbick, who moved from 52215 Bush street to 708 California. D. B. Manson, 5221, Bush street, moved to €23 Californis street and changed his registration. James Carr of G4 Sacramento stréet moved to 1055A Howard street and changed his registration. 8. E. Knowles, 9 First street, moved to 369 First street and changed his registration, Judson Hanna of 871 Market street was ad- dressed as Judson Danna. J. Ellis of 613 Sacra- mento street moved to 807 Kearny street, changing nis registration according to the pro- | visious of the law. In the matter of the Chinese list submitted by the Merchants' Assoclation, the ame was carefully counter-checked and canvassed by deputy from this office, who was accompanied cMahon, a request hav- ing been made by this office upon Chief Witt- man that he furnish such assistance for means of pesitive identification. Out of a total of 132 names, all of which are submitted as being disqualified for one reason or another, this of- fice finds that 105 are correct in every particu- that four of the names submitted. in your se list are those of white men; that nine movel away to parts unknown, and that have fourteen are not known at all. The department of elections in following out the law, and in pursuing its usual course in connection with purging the roll, has taken ry precaution to prevent illegal voting by false_registration or other means on Tuesday next. It will be evident from the brief report 1 have been able to make above that you have been misled to a great extent in the matter of the reports you have gathered upen the names submitted. The Board of Election Commis- sioners is keenly alive to the good motives which would actuate any public body In. as- sisting the work of purging the roil, but it may not be amiss to point out by these com- parisone that the information which the Mer- chants’ Assoclation has been able to gather, lnd.pellldenl of this department, has not been reijable. Permit me to state, in closing, that your re- quest for four hundred watchers’ tickets has been received and the same responded to by sending four hundred and fifty tickets to your headquarters.

Yates entered the hotel about dinner time and, taking the elevator, went to the Gundelfinger apartments. He knocked on the door and said that he had been sent by the housekeeper to fix the plumbing in the washstand. Gundelfinger informed him that there | was nothing wrong with the stand and | | that he could not enter as his wife was | dressing. Yates insisted and Mrs. Gun- ! delfinger, hearing the argument be- | | tween the bellboy and her husband, put o2 a dressing sack and came into the front room where the twe stood. | At this moment Yates produced a re- | volver and aiming it at the man and | wife, | where the valuables were. | Mrs. Gundeifinger immediately told | him the jewels were on her dresser. | Keeping them covered the while, Yates HOTEL MEN ~ | for which the manager of the Hoffman | House offered a reward of $200. was | cleared to-night.

When he backed from the room, pointing the spistol at his vic- | tims, he warned them to keep quiet and | then disappeared down the stairs and into the street. | The North End police station was im- | mediately notified and Detectives Ed Gibson and Tim Bailey detailed on the | case. They secured a good description | of Yates. He is 24 years of age, wears a dark brown fedora hat and sack | clothes. He has a scar on the back of his neck and a slight growth of dark mustache.

The stones were of high value, the diamonds all being blue white. —p Andrew Murray, a hotel boy who was sent with the money, was met by the stranger, who said he had left the case at home. Murray consented to g0 with him and was taken to the foot of East Forty-second street by the stranger and a friend. There they tried to rob Murray of the $200, but were fright- ened away when his screams brought help. One was captured later and this led to the recovery of the cigarette case. Murray was taken to Bellevue, and was not able to leave there until Wed- nesday. On the way to court to appear against the prisoners Murray met Stewart, who gave him the $200 offered for the return of the cigarette case.

It is reported that a large force of their friends are coming to their assistance from the Hole in the Wall country, and a number of men have left here to rein- force the pursuers. Buffalo Bill's Indian scouts and cow- boys have taken the trail and a lively retainers are heavily armed and are determined to get -the robbers. The bandits have cut all the telephone wires leading through the basin, and it is al- most impossible to get further facts. LANDER, Wyo.,, Nov. 3.—Prepara- tions are being made by the military authorities at Fort Washakie to have the two troops of the Tenth Cavalry stationed there take the field at a mo-, ment’s notice in pursuit of the two, Cody outlaws. The bandits are within a few miles of the boundary of the ‘Wind River rekervation, and if they succeed in eluding their pursuers will cross over into the Indian reservation on to Government land. In this event the colored troopers from this post will join in the man hunt. THERMOPOLIS, Wyo., Nov. 3.— Sheriff Fenton of Big Horn County came in to-night from the chase after the outlaws. He had a conference with Sheriff Stough of Fremont County, and the two officers will leave again in the morning for the Bad Lands, in the vi- cinity of Tarby Creek, east of the Big Horn River, where Fenton believes he has the outlaws surrounded. The of- ficers will endeavor to prevent the rob- bers from penetrating the interior of the Bad Lands, for ence inside their capture would became an extremely hazardous s During the day posses patrolled the Long Aisle of White | eads Way to Altar |ALICE RUTHE RFORD WEDS PLIGHTS TROTH IN FLORAL CHAPEL WRECKED SHILORS ARE ASSACRED Crew of British Ship Slain by Natives of Massira. —— LONDON, Nov. formation from the island of Perim, at the entrance to the Red Sea, an in- vestigation of Massira Island, made by the Sultan of Muscat, shows that the captain and a boat's crew of twenty- one men which left the British ship Baron, which ran ashore at the Kuria Musa Islands, reached Massira Island and were massacred by the natives.

BERLIN, Nov. 3.—The German Government is in full sympathy with the proposal of the United States for a treaty of arbitration between the United States and Germany and there seems no doubt that a treaty will be arranged at an early date.

The fact developed to-day that the outlaws after leaving Cody Tuesday traveled over the main county road to| within five miles of this place, then made a detour to the southwest and en- tered the main road again six miles out. They have since traveled by the main road. Colonel Willlam F. Cody will not join the man hunt. He will leave to-morrow with his English and other guests for a hunt in the wilds northwest of Cody. CHEYENNE, Nov. 3.—The officials of the United States Marshal's offite here are convinced that the shorter of the two men who endeavored to rob the bank at Cody Is Harvey Logan, the notorious train robber, and that it was Logan who killed the cashier. Logan was supposed to have been killed in Colorado about four months ago, but men who knew him state that he was in Cody several days before the at- tempted robbery which resulted in the murder of Cashier Middaugh. Logan is a dead shot, is armed with auto- matic guns and can hardly be taken alive. For a long time Logan was the mas- ter mind of the Hole-in-the-Wall gang. The reward for the bandits, dead or alive, has been increased to $10,000. The sum has been made up by Colonel Cody, the citizens of the ‘State, the banks of the State and other concerns and will probably be increased in a day or two, 3.—According to in-| ‘This boldness on the part | of the robbers cannot be accounted for. i - N FAIR YOUNG CALIFORNIAN WHO BECAME A BRIDE YESTERDAY | IN NEW YORK.
