A sensational rob bery which netted the perpetrators $71,010 in stamps was discovered hero Monday morning when the wholesale stamp department of tho post offico was opened for business. A rapid in vestigation developed the fact that the burglars had crawled under tho flooring for about 300 feet, bored a hole in tho bottom of the vault, se cured tho stumps and escaped, carry ing their booty in a wagon. The work of forming an entrance to tho vault had evidently been goiite on for many days. Jt is believed, however, that the intention of tho thieves had been to enter the cashier's vault, in which there was $35,000 in money and stamps valued at hundreds of thou sands of dollars. The bottom of tho vault is of steel, half an Inch thick. In this 97 holes were bored until a space 18 inches square just enough to allow the entrance of a man's body had been so weakened that it was possible to take out tho whole pluto with little dllllculty. A dry iroods box stood over the hole thus made and concealed the work of the rob bers while it was in progress. When discovered, the linger marks of one of tho burglars were still discernible on the dust of tho box which he had pushed to one side.- It was the largest stamp robbery ever done in the history of tho postal service of tho country. The stumps were urranged in 20-pound bundles, and tho weight of the load they car ried off must have been 500 pounds. Evidently one man handed tho pack ages down to others waiting beliw. As their progress niust have been slow carrying even one bundle through all those tuufiels, crawling on all fours, they worked for hours getting their booty to tho wagon. Evidently they felt perfectly secure, though somewhat disappointed at missing the cashier's vault where there were $35,000 in cash and ii great quantity of stamps. Postmaster Frederick E. Coyne is responsible 1'or tho loss until an act of congress frees him from it. BY FORCE OR DIPLOMACY.

There has been no report since Saturday at Hie ntat ilen.irtmeiil from Tnrkev nv llul. garia touching Miss li' one's case. The ",.,,' , officials, however, aro by no means discouraged and tire still confident tluit they will succeed in saving her life, but whether by diplomacy or by force is not clear. It is gathered that the friendship of the Ilussinu govern ment bus much to do with the con fidence of tho officials here. That government bus responded in Hie most cordial spirit to tho appeal ol tho state department whieb, unable itself from geographical and political reasons to exert pressure upon the government of Hulgnrhi, has been pleased to avail itself of the powerful inllueneo of Russia, on that govern ment. The Turkish government bus for its part responded in the same spirit to the appeal of the United States and altogether the two govern ments, Turkish and Bulgarian, prob ably have been put to a degree of ex pense equal lo tho amount of the ransom demanded by Miss Stone's cap tors in the military operations they have already directed in her interests.
