A cablegram was -received this morning by the Department of State from American Charge D' Affaires Denby at Pekin, stating that the report of danger to foreign residents at that city was greatly exaggerated; that there had been only one attack upon an American and that a very insignificant affair, followed by prompt punishment, and that an imperial proclamation had been issued to the local authorities enjoining the protection of for eigners. This despatch was not in reply to any request from the department, but was volunteered by Mr Denby, who is supposed to have seen the printed statements that for eigners were not safe in Pekin. The depart ment is confident that Mr. Denby will leaye nothing undone to ensure - the safety of Americans in China. I , - GOLD EXPORTATION. a. air Bunion Taken for Foreign bnipment An Unusual Occur- ranee For This Time of . - the Year. inew xobk, Oct. 15. The first shipment oi goia irom jvew York to Europe in October ior many years will be made on the steam- ship Havel which sails for Southampton to morrow morning. The, bank of New York withdrew from, the sub-treasury foOO.OOO just before the close of business, presenting greenbacks in payment for the gold. The- withdrawal is for the account of Kidder, reabody A Co.; of Boston, and the gold is consigned to Berlin. The ultimate destina tion is supposed to be Austria. - The engage- xucuk ui i ma goia ior Bnipment caused weak ness in the stock market, as it is an extra ordinary occurrence for gold to be shipped w Europe at mis season or the year, when tne export of cereals and cotton should tnrow me balance of trade strongly in favor umiea Biates. dot over a decade. except during the financial stringency existing in 1892 and .1893, gold has been imported in large amounts from Europe aurmgthe months of September, October ana secern Der.

The profit on the shipment of gold, how ever, is so slight that it is believed that gold w uuiu iiui nave gone iorward n induce ments had not been offered by Austria, wmcn has not yet acquired sufficient gold to puts its recently established gold cur rency on a solid foundation. This sus picion has a most depressing effect on stoats and on other markets, as it was recol lected that Austria in 1892 and 1893 drew tens or millions of dollars m gold from the united btates by the payment of a liberal premium to the gold shipping houses in New York, and the low gold balance of the United States treasury inspired the fear that anomer uovemment bond issue would be iorced by the efflux of gold to Europe at tnis time.

Slight : Clue A. Suspect Arrested in Bal4 timore Supposed ; Character of the Robbsrs. Washiogion Post Oct 1 l The theory of the authorities ot Stafford county mat the leader of the Aquia Creek train robbers was an ex-convict j named George Carter was strengthened yesterday when it became known that Carter was in Alexandria last week. He is well known in that city, -Policeman William E. Grady be ing among tnose who could identify him on sight. Carter was seen in Weadon Brothers' hardware and sporting goods store looking at some revoiyers. The man who saw -him Iid not remain t-o eec whether Carter made a purchase and the proprietors Sid not know their customer. Carter's movements after he left the store are not known The Alexandria police think they have another clew to the robbers. When the 10:40 o'clock Richmond train reached there Sat urday night , three shabbily dressed men carrying bundles alighted, and, going into an outbuilding, made an entire change of vauwmg, leaving oenina tnem tne suits they had taken off. This suspicious occurrence was reported at police headquarters about midnight, but tne police were unable to trace me tnree men bevnnd whpt thav were last seen by the-depot employes. The drunken man, George Turner, who claimed that he was one of the robbers, and who was locked up at the First precinct po nce station, turned out to be a rohhi- in hia imagination only. As stated in yesterday's rost, the police had very little faith in his as sertions, dui tney concluded to hold him until he was sober enough to be questioned by juduouij xpresa peopie, and interviewed by Messenger Crutchfierd. i At 11 O ClOCk Vesterdav tho nriosvriai. -araa visited by the messenger and by aPinkerton man.

The money taken was sent from Portland and arrived Saturday night. A probable clue to the robbers is that they came on the train with the treasurer box and knew where it was consigned and its contents. The company's driver sleeps in the express office, but on the night of the robbery he was attending a ball and did not return un til 1 o'clock. The robbery was evidently , committed between 11:30 and 12:30 o'clock,' while the driver was absent, which leads j the officials to believe that it was done by local thieves, although there were a number of "rounders" in town who have been in attendance at the tfair. ; No arrests haye been made yet. The Fall Hiver Strike. Fall River, Mass., Oct. 15. Returns fromjthevarious mills show that only half ofthe looms were started np this morning. All of the mills except the Laurel Lake and Richard Borden attempted to run. About 1,000 weavers, mostly young men, with a f ew: women, paraded through the main street of BorderCity village to the South parki where a mass meeting was held. They carried two American flags land an old broom. There were no seriouaJ3utnr'bances reported at the mill gates this morning. The Weavers' union officers are confident that many of the weavers will leave their looms at noon, while many say they will continue to gain steadily for a few days, and that then the trouble will be over. Another Fiend Lynched. Princeton, Ky, Oct. 15 Willis Griffey, the rape fiend, ' confined: in jail here, was lynched last night at 11:30 o'clock, by a mob of 100 or more men. They went to the jail and demanded of Jailer Pool the keys. These, he positively refused to- give np." Pushing him aside, they searched the house and found them. In the cell of Griffey a struggle ensued, but he was overcome, taken out and placed in a covered hack and then the procession started out the Cadiz road. The mob wore no .masks and were strangers to the jailer. The negro was hanged to a beech . tree, three miles from here. The body was horribly and namelessly mutila ted and perforated1 with bullets. The mob was undoubtedly from ! Christian county. The leader was barely in his teens, i - Elopement of a School Girl. Washington, 0.ct.

Express officers here now think that the Quantico train rob bers did not get over $5,000.,- Mr. Murray, who handled the pouches and - cut them open for the robbers, says he is satisfied from the feeiing of them that JLhe amount did not exceed this. He says the bonds were all saved, as he threw them in a pile of stuff the robbers discarded. advanced to the gold exporting point.

A fear that the efnax of the vellow metal may reach important proportions and cause a scare, in view of the comparative small amount of gold held by the Treasury Department, led to liquidations by weak minded bulls.

Depressing items of news were re ceived from every quarter and an absolute lacs oi connaence resulted, interest was principally centered in the visible supply and that statement may be said to have . been the mam reason for the loss of lc. r which the closing quotations enow. The : estimates on the supply were almost as far away irom tne exact increase or i,4tu,mju ousneis as tney were on last Aionday. Out- tide predictions were that 1,000,000 bushels increase would take place, but the popular figure was 500,000 bushels. The selling towards the close was general, with practi cally no support xo tnp market. .December wheat opened at 534c, touched 53 Jc, de clined to 524c where it closed with the loss already mentionea. --c.asn .wneat was in good demand. - Pricesjwere relatively lower with the futures, sales Oemg made at a de cline pf i to ici-i-'.: -.'- The weakness of wheat overpowered corn prices to-day. although the visible supply decrease was 526,000 bushels and the amount on ocean passage 968,000 bushels. The re ceipts, although not fully up to the expeo tationsvvwere large at 173 cars, and larger estimates for to mOirow prevented a further the effect that in some States, more espe cially Ohio, farmers were hoarding their corn and feeding wheat gave rise to talk that the final outcome would be to the dis advantage of the coarse grain. There was a car of new corn received to-day, which, although not passing . grade because of dampness, nevertheless served to remind the trade that the new crop was upon them. May corn opened at 49sc, declined to 48c, closing at the inside, c below. Saturday. Cash corn was ic lower. ) ; Oats were forced lower by the declining tendency of wheat and corn. An increase Of -430 000 bushels in the visible supply abetted the weakness. The trade was de void of feature, business being dull most of the session. May closed ic lower through sympathy with the futures. Provisions The packers and commission houses were the best sellers of product dur ing the morning hours, but- were endeavor ing to keep prices from breaking the offer ings. Scalpers were a little timid until after the yissible supply on wheat was posted, for fear that the' snowing would cause an advance in that cereal and sympathetically affect product, but when grain became so intensely weak, they cast aside caution and sold freely. The close - was lOp lower than Saturday for January port, 7 to 10c lower for January lard and 7Jc lower for January ribs. .- . . ' ... - JJniversity of Virginia Against Pyjnceton.

"- uuwuiuerguueranaa Deen given into the hands of the Philadelphia ' branch of the Adams Express company, and that Pinker ton men are on the frail. A number of de tectives reached Aquia Oreek early yesterday morning, and started out for a complete search of the locality. Several New Vm-v nnkerton men are also on the scene, and wui wor in conjunction with the rhiladel pnia detectives. J. O. A. Herring, general uaanHgcr oi me iuama express company, visited Aouia Creek vsferdnu- afta-mnnr. and had a long talk with the ohicersj ' Messenger Crutchfield. who wan in Wash ington all day yesterday, gave .the Pinker ton men a description of the robber who entered the express car. Crutchfield j had a hard time keeping out of the way Iof the newspaper reporters. He is a Virginian, long and thin, and with quiet ways I about him. He is 35 years old and has Keen in the employ of the Adams Express! Com pany lor a number of years. It is under- StOod that Crutchfield has deswrihed tha bandit who entered the car as a man about five feet nine inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds He had a red handkerchief tied over his face from the eves i down with the ends' tucked in his vest Iaii nt the other robbers had handkerchiefs over their entire faces, with holes cut far eyes and mouth. The robber had a slouch hat pulled down over his head so that the mes senger could not see his hair. The i man's hands were small and his clothing Irousb. but was not that of the tramn or nhpnn crook. His voice was deep, but hei spoke rapidly and distinctly. He did not seem to oe tne leader ot the gang or to pay any at tention to anything except the taking nf the money out of the safe. i lie had a revolver in one hand and v. casionally be shifted it to the other. 1 When he wanted to cut the mail pouch he Idrew a knife from the trousers' pocket, slipping the revolver for a moment into his coat pocket, with the handle sticking out. f Crutchfield acknowledges that hnth he and the "assistant messenger were so badly fright- cueu tuiu wey cuuiu not nave maaej much of an attack upon the bandit if at any time he had left himself unguarded. Besides, the door which had been shattered with dynamite was standing wide open, j and a robber with a Winchester, was standing there for the evident purpose of nrnert.in the inside worker.. . i The man who did the talking on the ont- sidehada sharp voice, and was a trifle above medium height, although he particularly heavy. The meager descrip tions of him fit the descriptions of George Carter, the escaped Sing. Sing convict, who began his career of crime in Stafford county, and who was raised but a mile from the scene of Friday night's robbery. The min ute description of Carter and his picture, published in yesterday's Post, were taken from circulars sent out some time ago by the New York authorities, who were very anxious to capture him. These circulars were sent all over Virginia, as the New York police were of the opinion that he j would hide m that state until he had been forgotten in New York. j It is believed by some of the detectives that Carter and the man who entered the car were the only professional criminals in the gang. The fact that two of the! other men crucnea down against the trucks of the express car, and at one time were actually under the car, as. told in the story of En. gmeer uallagher. in vesterdav's Post, and the lurtner tact that another of the men ran when Conductor Birdsong stepped out on the platform of one of .the passenger cars and pretended that a Winchester was to be handed to him, show that .these men were not experienced men in the business, j They were snort of courage. The other man. or two men, on the opposite bank had nothing to do except fire off their guns for the pur pose of intimidating the passengers. . and were probably crooks of a low order J The two leaders are the two men who boarded the train, probably at the stop before apprpach? ing the bridge, crawled over , the tender, took the engineer and fireman off, and in fact did all the business. The other bandits were hidden on the bank, ran out after the train had come to a standstill and simply helped to intimidate those on board. I with a desperate man like Carter, ac quainted with the country and able to manage 'an engine, and a man conversant with the express business, as the other man ennm a f rk hotra Knnrt if fa -a-tstt & great surprise after all that the Aquia Creek robbery was such a success. The robbery was one' of the largest on record.

Souther nTRoad. - Cincinnati, Oct. 15. At 10 o'clock this morning the principals in the fight for final control of the Cincinnati Southern road be gan to arrive at the general office of that company. - They represented two great rail road systems both anxious to secure control of the property. The first interest is the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton syndicate The other' is the recently organized South ern Railway company,; of which Sam'l Spencer is president, and of which Drexel morgan s um were the chief organizers and tmjiuuiera. receiver jeiton, oi the south ern road, called the meeting to order a few minutes afterlO o'clock.

The first vote cast was by Dr. Laueterbach. the New Ynrt offn is Baron Erlanger's representative and who offered the proxy for the 10,000 shares of stock held ! bv the Akhn S juthera Railroad Company. To-day's election very plainly developed the fact that,not withstanding the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton syndicate have made some sort of a deal with Baron Erianger for the Cincinnati extension bonds still controls the Alabama Great Southern and also the, Cincinnati, New Orleans and 'f?

The annual meeting of the Alabama" Great Southern stockholders at Birmingham and the annual meetingof the Cincinnati New Orleans and Texas Pacific stockholders are merely prefiminary skirmishes to the real battle for possession of the a la ha ma Southern and the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific, which will take place when the majority of stock of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company, limited, of England, is sold at foreclosure to satisfy the claims of holders of Cincinnati extension ' oonas. xne new board of directors will nr. anize by electing officers later. .
