Eleven hundred doliars wa found in his wallet, and detectives ar searching the city to-night for ¥240, 000 of the bank's funds which he i believed to have brought to New York with him. For ten days McNamara has bees under the shadow of the police here For more than two months he haw travelled over the United States ane Canada with his pursuers, apparently without suspicion that he was watel ed. Police headquarters here first learned of his arrival iv New Yorl through a tip that efforts were being nade by some one to exchange large amount of Canadian money fo: American eurrency. The police shadow ed the money brokers, and the me who approached them, and the trai of the latter, they said, led them te McNamara's lodgings. Nowe of = the money, however, was found there, anc none of the bank bills were upon hi: | person. In addition to larceny McNamara j charged with dynamiting the bank': safe and binding and gagging a Chi nese watchman employed by the insti tution.. McNamara joked with his cap tors when they urged him to confess and said that he was travelling ove the country looking for a good loca tion to open a'cafe. The police say that he was onee the proprietor of the "Groen Turtle' cafe at San Fran jcisco, and the "Log Cabin" cafe at Los Angeles. He admitted, the polie say, that he was in British Columbis at the time the bank was robbed, anc that he liad lived at the Strand ho el at Vancouver afterwards, but de clined to say anything further about the case. He will be arraigned to morrow. Assistant Police Commission er Dougherty said last night thai the iritish ~ comsul here coincidentally would ask for his extradition to Can ada. For nearly fifteen years, the police asserf, McNamara has been known to the police of the coast. His picture, they say, is in the rogues' gallery here and in Washington, Louisville and Chi- cago. In each case he was charged with burglary, but there is no record that he was ever 'convicted. He had also been charged in Boston and in Cleveland with burglary, the police de clare, although he was discharged in each inslance. £ The crime with which MeNamara is charged, the police declare, was com: mitted by four men, who entered the New Westminster branch of the Bagk of Montreal on the night of Septéh- Store Closes 5 O'clock.

On Saturday, Dec. 30th, | was dismissed for' political partizan- soip. 'Here are the facts: i was not appointed for political service. 1 never either directly or indirectly contributed a cent for any election. 1 never even sat on a plate form. 1 never spoke at a political meeting. 1 wes never in a committes room. 1 never canvassed for votes or spoke to any mah with the in: tention of influencing his vote. 1 attended four meetings of the campeign--two on cach side. Took pant in no demonstration, nor even cheered for any speaker or candidate, I conversed privately, and privately only, with a few, and interchanged views merely in a friendly spirit. 1 knew those' to whom 1 spoke would not change their opinions, nor did 1 wish them to do so. I expressed the opinion there should be no canvassing for votes, no carry- ing of voters to the polls, no parades eitber before or after elections. 1 said there should be fair and open discussion held at public meetings held to inform the electors. I made the remark te an old pupil in a brief street conversation. For this 1 was condemned. I said 1 con- sidered the rights of sufivage so sac red and men had struggled so Jong for them, ; that I had made it a principle ok my life never to vote for any man, whether reformer or con- eervative, who had ever heen proved to have handled bribery. 1 added that 1 thought' that wuch a man should neither have a vote nor hold public office. According | to customs regulations, officers and others are not to inter fere in politics. I never interfered in any way nor spoke as above except in private conversation.---LYMAN C. SMITH. Retain the Money. Kingston, Ont., Jan, 9.--(To the Editor) : I noticed in last night's Whig that 'L. Malcolm, of the CUon- erete (Comstructions, Limited, was ask- ing the city council to accept a bond for $2,500, in lieu of deducting that amount of the contract price for keep- ing the pavement in repair for five years, also to waive the penalty clause owing to certain causes. First, 1 would like to ask what a penalty clause is put into a contract or, and, second, are the newly-con- structed blocks put down in such a satisfactory manner as to justify the acceptance of a bond. I think a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and would also say that, in my opionion, it will take most of the $2,500 to put the new pavement in any kind of a satisfactory state. be fore two years expires. A few weeks after the frost goes out of the ground, in the spring, it will show quite a change in the surface and general condition' of the work. It would be well to wait until then be fore deciding. And'l say all contractors should be treated alike; favors should be given to none. When I had a city contract I was held close to the line and when 1 asked several aldermen what chance I had for a rebate 1 was told to read over my contract. | madeyan income or the whole year of nearly forty cents per day for time and profit. I got no redress. Others in the same line had got rebates, both before my time and since. Mayor Hoag says, in his address, that it would be auwise to eriticize the pavement. 1 guess he has an idea of what is the matter. I had to bear my loss and if others lose they also should * stand it, too.--A TAXPAYER AND OBSERVER. The Capital Advanced.
