CANADA AHEAD 0F BEWAIN. Evidence of an Extensive Robbery ' Near Montreal. A despatch from Montreal says: What appears to have been an ex- tensive robbery of mails in transit ‘from this city came to light on Fri- day morning, as the result of the patrol of pickets of the federated trades, now on strike against the Canadian Pacific Railway. Two mail bags, ripped and cut across, were found by pickets lying on the ground near the C. P. R. tracks, a little west of Montreal west. With them were a number of opened let- ters, and torn papers, among which were found cheques to the value of close upon $7,000. The strikers immediately reported their find to headquarters, where it was decid-i ed to consult Mr. L. J. Gaboui-y,; assistant postmaster, and thei cheques, torn bags and fragments: of letters were taken to the post- oflice. The search for the money appears to have been done on the spot where the bags were found, and at night, as wreckage was left littered around in a way that Would have been very liable to attract at- tention in darlight before the thieves got very far off. It is at pre- sent impossible to tell whether the robbers got away with any large sum in cash or negotiable. securi-l ties. The bags were not registered.’ TO TAKE BANK'S LAND.
