TUB MAKINK SlIllVlCK. Friends of the ofticials employed in the revenue marine service propose to make an other attempt In congress at an early day to secuiu for them some ol the privileges which their brother olllcers in the navy en joy. At present 10venue marine men aio cov- eincd by a strict militaiy code , and yet they aie retarded only as civil officers of the navy. In the navy department au olllcpr who serves live years Is entitled to an additional compensation of 10 per cent , after that time , and for caeh five years ot seivico beyond that an additional 10 per cent , is added to his- salary. In the revenue marine service , how ever , a man who may be appointed to a lieu- tenantcy or any ether commissioned rank , draws the same pay ttoojear ho leaves the seivico as he does when he lirst enters , provided he receives no promotion in the meantime. It Is as difficult for any one to secure nn appointment In this branch of the jrpvernmental service as it is into either the an. % or navy except that the appointments jutf made from civil life and not from an aca'dopy. Still the examina tions are of them * . , rigid character both as to the mental and physical qualifications of the applicant , rnd } in ail other respects the navy rules apply. The life of an ollicer In the revenue marine service , too. is far more arduous than that of hia fellow In the navy proper , for while the former Is confined to his ship y ar aftur year , fiequently without a change of station in a decade , the latter usually has three years of sea service and then three yeais of shore duty , and besides ho is sent fiom rlace to place which seems to bteak the monotony of life on ship boaid. The naval men , however , hnve < 9tioni ; In fluences always * ? adyto work In their be half among the social people of Washington , while the icvemiQ niniine , being A much smaller service , fias few friends at court , and in the past IceMation for its benefit has been exceedingly difficult to secure.

CHICAGO , Dee. til. [ Special Tclegiam to the Uir , ] In MI Interview this afternoon Billy Plnfeoilon said : Three months ago Wltirock and Halght were together In Chicago planning thoe\pross robbery. They needed some counterfeit letter heads of the Adams express company and wcro mightily pnrzlcd how to got them without suspicion * 1'Inally they went to a certain job printer licro to whom Wittrock told this narrative : lie said they wcro Irlomls of a certain politi cal candidate then running for a Cook county office. It was Impoit.Mil to his Interests that they should get out a secret clicnlar and they wanted access to the printing office. The Job printer was willing for a consldcia- tlon to retire and leave his vlsltois to com mune with the type , ink , paper and picss. They locked themselves In but vvoicunsuc- ce sful , and at the end of an bom's time Wittrock unlocked the door and told the printer just what they wanted. "What do you propose to do with Adams express letter hcadsV" asked the primer. "Wo want some to use so we can gcliall- road passes , " saldollalght. The printer consented to assist them and , taking hold of the job. had the letter heads ready the fame day. For his work they pala him S3. The printer , I am certain , at that time did not expect to hear further from the case. You know what part the counterfeit letter heads played. A few weeks after the robbery Halght , Wlttrouk , Weaver , ami Jack and Oscar Cook , becoming alarmed at the publicity given the letter head business , con cluded that the safest course would be to "square" the printer who executed the job. They thought S'.OOO would Insure his silence. The printer should have Immediately re potted the case to the police , but ho didn't , lie was bacily f i Ightcncu , and after counting the wealth put It away without extracting n dollar. "Uo\v much money was taken from Foth- crlngham V" "About $03,000 , of which amount wo shall recover betvveeii.S4S,000 and 849.000. " "When will the round-up bo finished ?

A great many narrow escapes trom nltto-glyceilne explo sions In the oil legions have been recorded , but none over occurred since the introduc tion of the explosive so miraculous as the onorepoited from a a magazine a few miles from this city. A torpedo agent visited the magazine to got a Uvcntv-tlvo quart can of nltro-glyceilnt' . The magazio is on ( lie summit of a high and steep hill. At the bottom of the hill Pat rick Bunds lives w ith his family. After tak ing the can , out of nls safe the agent car- i led It out to the toad , whore lie placed it on the tfttnifVd'whlio he returned to the.mag- nzlno to close the safe befoie placing ttio tor pedo In'his wagon , which stood in the road near by. While ho was at the magazine something frightened the horses and they backed the wagon against the can , upsetting It , It at once began to loll down tlio lilll towards Hand's house. The agent gaed after the roll I nor can with lion or , for us It wont thumping along be expected every second to sec it explode nnd bprcad death and de struction around. Stiango to wiy , the con cussions It met with did not explode. It , nnd as it neared the house at the footol the hill tlio agent closed his eyes , us the can was headed straight tor the side of the bouse and ho could not imagine anv thing .so mltactilous as the non-explosion of the nltro-Flyccrlno attor that collision. The can struck tlio side of the house , and although It rebounded hovcral feet from the lorco of the shock , it did not explode. It was some time bcloio the agent could 10- cover sulllclently trom the nervous shock to make his way down the hill and iccovur the can. In the meantime Mr. linmlsliad come out of the house to see what the mutter was ; but did not discover tlio can.Vbon thu agent reached the house ho told Mic. liuiids what had iMppoiicd , and ho picked up the can. The woman , although the danger .she and her family had been subjected to had pabscd , was so terrified at hearing that a torpedo tiad lolled with such ure.it loico ag.iinsther house , that she um iiibldo , and bringing Her tlireo childicn with her ran away from the house as fast as she could po , ann never stopped until she reached this city , where her husband was at vvoik.

The princes' arc very numerous but they arc undistinguished.
