AN AMATEUR HOLD UP.
Btxngltncr Attempt to Rob a Cannon
Bail Train.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2L News was received
here tonight -of the holding-up of the Iron
Mountain cannon ball passenger train,- at
Gifford, Ark., a few miles this side of
Malvern Junction. The hold-up occurred
at 7.30 o'clock, and was participated in by
half a dozen men. The oandlts had built
a huge, bonfire on the track. The engi
neer, scenting an attempted robbery,
opened the throttle, and sought to push
through the fiery obstruction. Several
ties, of. which the fire was made, caught
In the pilot, and soon brought the train
to a stop. Instantly three masked men
ordered the engineer and fireman to leave
the engine at once. Another robber went
on the side of the car, hailed the con
ductor, and ordered him to remain Inside.
Each order was obeyed.
While the four robbers were standing
guard and occasionally firing a shot to
frighten the passengers, thelntwo accom
plices entered the express car and or
dered Messenger Samuel R. Avery to
"step aside or get to the other corner."
The large safe wad charged five times
with dynamite, each explosion making a
terrific noise, and tearing off portions of
the car, A. large hole was bored Into
the door of the safe, but an entrance
could not be effected. The robbers finally
announced that they had no more dyna
mite, and then they gave up the task of
forcing open the door. Picking up the
local express box and several packages,
they ran to their horses, which had
been hitched near by, and rode rapidly
away. No attempt was made to disturb
the passengers, except for an occasional
shot at an Inquisitive passenger who
looked out of a car window. Messenger
Avery was badly hurt about the head and
face by flying splinters. One side of his
face was terribly lacerated, and several
teeth were knocked out He was sent
to his home at St Louis.
The Sheriff of Hot Springs County or
ganized a posse and started at once in
pursuit of the robbers. The train crew
say the bandits are amateurs, as they
went at their work in a bungling fashion.
Thq trainmen say the small box carried
off "by the robbers contained about (500.
It Is positively known that the robbers
secured several sacks of silver coin, con
taining $&0.

VEST OK DEMOCRACY.
.Missouri Statesman Thinks Party
Has Had Too Mnoh Populism.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. Senator Vest
of Missouri, ' is looked upon as one of
shrewdest men In the Democratic party,
and In the past his judgment has been
second to none. On this account a late
statement b; him will be of Interest
"Thi recent election," he said, "demon
strates the fact that Mr. Bryan can never
be President But the Democratic party
Is not dependent upon the fate of any one
man. It survived the death of Mr. Jef
ferson, and It will survive the disappear
ance of Mr. Bryan."
Senator Vest says It Is nonsense to talk
reorganization of the Democratic party at
this time. He thinks the party must
await future development of events before
again lining up, and recognizes, as do
many ot the other old-school Democrats,
that his party has had too much Popu
lism ana too much alliance with other
people who do not believe In. true Demo
cratic doctrines.
The result of the recent election was
not unexpected by him. It Is his opinion
that no party can defeat an Administra
tion which has successfully conducted a
-foreign war. The sentiment In favor of
the-suppresslon of the Philippine insurrec
tion aleoi had its influence, as many men,
at heart true Democrats, thought it would
dishonor the American Nation to with
draw from the Philippines at this time
and under existing conditions.
Senator Vest thinks the ship-subsidy bill
and the Nicaragua Canal bill will both
be passed at the coming session, as well
as the Spooner bill affecting the Philip
pines, although all will meet with strong
Democratic opposition.

FOREIGN SECRET AGENTS
NO DEMAND MADE BY THE STATE
DEPARTMENT.
Unfounded Rumor That the Disclos
' tire ot Their Idenflty"Waa In
sisted Upon.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L--A published
statement to the effect that the State
Department has at- the Instance of the
War and Navy Departments, addressed
demands to the. embassies and legations
here for Information that will lead to the
disclosure of the identity of secret agents
of foreign governments, met with a most
prompt and sweeping denial by the offi
cials of each one of the departments
mentioned. The same publication threat
ened the dismissal of "a number of worthy
foreign-born Government employes as a
result of thl3 movement. It is also de
nied that such a thing Is In contempla
tion. '
It may be stated officially that all that
our Government has done In the matter
of communicating with foreign govern
ments respecting war matters has been
to secure reciprocal advantages for our
attaches abroad, and It has not issued
any circular note that might be regarded
as discourteous to a friendly legation.
' TREATY WITH RUSSIA.
Negotiations tn Progress for a Recip
rocal Arrangement.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. Negotiations
are in progress: between the Stato De
partment and the Russian Government
looking to the making of .a reciprocity
treaty under the terms of the Dlngley
tariff act As both countries are large
producers of raw material, and as Russia
is making enormous strides In the devel
opment of manufactures of metals and
textiles, It Is with great 'difficulty that
the present plenipotentiaries can find ar
ticles to form the basis for tariff reduc
tions for such a treaty. A vexatious com
modity, for instance, is sugar, which is
produced In rapidly increasing quantities
and Is now marketed in the united States.
At one phase in Its production and expor
tation this sugar receives substantial aid
from either the local or general Russian
Government. Under a strict construction
of the countervailing duty section of the
Dlngley act, such bounty-aided sugar Is
liable to a discriminatory duty. Xi'it the
United States Government, npin the ur
gent representations of the .rlussUn Gov
ernment, has Indefinitely suspmded the
exaction of such duties. For its part, the
Russian Government has refrained from
imposing maximum (and in many cases
prohibitory) duties upon United States
exports to Russia. Now It is intimat'd
that the situation is rather piecarious
that there Is danger at rny moment of a
judicial decision or some executive action
on one side or the other that may de
stroy the amicable understanding. This
appears from the news received on the
Pacific Coast that Russia Is contemplating
an 8 per cent increase In the duties on
American flour, while the ugar arrange
ment Is by no m?ans permanent.

A BUSY SESSION.
Representative Payne Says Much
Work "Will Be Accomplished..
NEW YORK, Nov. 2L Representative
Sereno E. Payne, of New York, chairman
of the House ways and means committee,
said in an interview in Washington last
night;
"I think that we shall have an active
business session of Congress this Winter.
A number -of things ought to be done. 1
do not know that they will all be accomp
lished, and I believe It will be a business
session. Among the matters that I think
will bo acted upon will be. a reduction
of the war revenue, the -apportionment1
bill and the shlpping-rbllL The Nicaragua
bill depends upon the" Senate and, we,,can
not say what It will do. Likely he
Spooner bill, or something like it, with
reference to the Philippines, will bo adopt
ed, but some think the President already
has the authority which that bill pro
posed to give him." .
Mr. EAyne, when asked about the sug
gestion regarding a reduction of Southern
representation, replied:
"If that were going to be done I would
not be talking about passing a reappor
tionment bill at this session."
REDUCING THE "WAR TAX.
Committee Decides to Decrease It
Thirty Millions a Year.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L The Republi
can members of the ways and means
committee made such progress today with
the bill to amend the war revenue law
that It is expected the first draft will be
completed tomorrow. The committee de
cided today to make a reduction of $30,
000,000 a year. This Is the amount sug
gested by Secretary Gage yesterday, and
it is understood meets the views of the
President In fact, the members of the
committee who saw the President last
evening say that, before Secretary Gage
appeared before the committee, the whole
matter had been carefully considered by
the President and Secretary. Briefs of
interested persons are being received and
considered, but the committee has given
no hearings and will not do so. Gen
eral Grosvenor was not at the meeting to
day, having gone to Ohio for a few days.
The Cuban Convention.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21. Major-General
Fltzhugh Lee, who has returned from
Havana, having been appointed to the
command of the Department of the Mis.
sourl, had little to say about Cuba. Ho
has now severed all connection with the
island after an intimate association with
Its affairs for nearly five years, except
for a brief period during the war.
"The constitutional convention is in ses
sion to organize a free and Independent
government for the CuoanV he so'd.
"Thus far It has not made mush progrFB.
It Is a small convention, ou.y 31 dele
gates, all Cubans. Some are veterans of
the SpaniBh War. They ime. about dis
posed of one or two contests over seatt?
and are nearly ready tc begin the Teal
business.
"How long It will take the convention
to adopt a constitution is problematical.
Nobody knows what the outcome will
be. Until this Is settled there Is little to
say as to the future of the island."
When the General was asked what he
thought of the recent election and Its re
sults In the Island, he replied:
"Oh, they don't think much about our
elections down there." He did not ex
press his own opinion.
Porto Ricans' Self-Government.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L In a perspnal
letter, Governor Allen, of Porto Rico, de
scribing briefly the great work attending
the first election In the new possession,
says It proved no small task to bring the
people of the island up to a proper un
derstanding of the importance and signifi
cance of the occasion. They always Jbad
been governed by military rule, and the
privilege of the franchise was something
new and novel to them. The total regis
try was about 122,000. The Federals? re
frained from voting. The Republicans had
a majority of 60.000 and elected every
member of the Legislature. Great interest
Is shown in the coming meeting of the
Legislature, the 3d prox., as It will be
the first time In Its history that the peo.

ST. PETERSBURG! Nov. 2L A medical
practitioner of high standing In this city,
who Is not connected with the state serv
ice, after analyzing the bulletins from
Llvadla, told the correspondent of the
Associated Press1 that the Illness of the
Czar bad taken an unusually favorable
course.
' "Apparently!" he said, "there Is more
anxiety abroad than there Is In Russia.
This may be due largely to the statistics
of typhoid mortality in this country. But
these are misleading. The mortality with
us is due to defective care. Russia has
only one physician to every 30,000 inhab
itants. Furnish her with one to every 500,
as In the United States, and the result
with the care would be equally favorable
here." ' ,
The St. Petersburg bourse was slightly
affected when the news of the Czar's ill
ness was first made known, but a prom
inent banker asserted today that It had
already entirely recovered.
Death at this time would be peculiarly
bitter to Emperor Nicholas, because he Is
again hoping for the birth of a son with
in a few months. It is an open .secret
that the Czarovltch, Grand Duke Michael,
now about 22 years of age, is not a favot-.

sire is to leave a son as heir to the
throne.

Downcer Empress Is "Wllllnc to Go
Back to Pckin.
LONDON, Nov. 22. "The Empress Dow
ager's war decree and other incidents,"
says the Shanghai correspondent of the
Times, "confirm the belief that General
Tung Fu Hslang Is dominating the court,
which is suffering from-privations and
desires to return to Pekln, but is prevent
ed by him."
The Shanghai correspondent ot the
Morning Post, referring to the rumored
decree of the Empress Dowager warning
Governors and 'Viceroys to prepare tor
war against the allies, says he believes It
refers to the provinces of Shan SI and
Honan alone, as the Chinese believe that
the allies Intend to Invade them.
"The Russian Prince Uchtomsky, who
has arrived here, declares," says the Pe
kin correspondent of the Daily News,
"that the Czar withdrew the Russian
troops from Pekln because the foreign
press accused them of plunder and out
rage." Threaten Tien Tsln nnd Pekln.
"TIEN TS1N, Nov. 20, via Shanghai,
"Nbv 21. There' has been considerable fir
ing recently in the neighborhood of Tien
Tsln, and, owing to a report that the
German office of the city would be at
tacked last night, the German sentries
were doubled, a regiment patrolled the
opposite bank of the river, and the re
mainder of the German troops were or
dered to hold themselves In readiness for
actl m at an Instant's notice. Nothing
happened, however, to show cause for
alarm, although today all the Chinese
servants of the Bengal Lancers' officers
and men left, saying they had been In
formed that the Boxers were marching
In a large body on Tlen Tsln and Pekln.
Neither General Campbell, of the British
troops, nor Colonel Moale, ot the Amer-'
leans, believe there Is any truth In the
rumor, but the natives evidently believe
it, and many ot them are leaving the
service of the foreigners.

THE PORCUPINE COUNTRY.
Good Description of Section by
, Army Ofllcer.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. The foUowlng
report of Captain Henry W. Hovey
Twenty-fourth Infantry, written at Skag
way, on the Porcupine country, Alaska,
will prove both Interesting and enlighten
ing: "The difference between the conditions
which exist here and IS miles. south of
here are very marked, so far as relates
td vegetation. Haines Mission, about five
miles south of here, is one starting place
for the Porcupine" district, and Pyramid
Harbor Is another.
"Porcupine City, which is marked JlBIs
covery" on the map, is beautifully situ
ated on a second bench back from the
river on level ground, and there Is every
opportunity for the building of a good
town when roads will permit the trans
portation of the "needed supplies at rea
sonable rates.
"Porcupine Creek is very rich In gold. 1
saw the clean-up after a 30-hour run In
sluicing, and tha result was 83 ll-16th
ounces, avoirdupois. The other claims are
equally rich, although none have as yet
reached much beyond the point of pros
pecting. All the creeks in the Porcupine
district seem to be rich, and In time It
probably wilr be very productive.
"By the modns vivendl a large quan
tity of valuable mineral and 'agricultural
land has been provisionally transferred
to the Canadian Government, although" the
agreement provides that claims' shall In
nowise be prejudiced, -which have been
located under the laws ot either" country.
Northwest ot Porcupine 'City, the boun
dary line passes at a 'distance of about
three-quarters'of a mile.
"Vegetables -grow air through the' sec
tion over which I traveled. Id 'profusion
ana with very little care."" There Is plenty
of grassy trees and shrubbery, tnd5-ls
entirely unlUe what would e espectedin
Alaska. I saw as many as 24) kinds ot
wild flowers.
"At 6ne point the Dalten trail passes
through five miles of'forestThe total
distance from Haines, or Pyramid Has
bor, to" Porcupine, is about 40 miles. There
should certainly be a Government road
provided! ahd Senator Mason, ot Illinois,
who accompanied me, promised to use hts
effort In effecting this end. The Cana
dian Government has already commenced
a road leading from the boundary line
northwest to- connect -with-the old roads
already established which lead to the
Yukon. From a military point of view
a road up there Is -a necessity, as, in the
course of time. I thlnt there will be some
trouble with the Indians. There Island
has been, a great deal offriotlon be
tween the whites and the Indians with
reference -to fishing, especially -so since
several new canneries have been estab
lished. The Indians object tothe canner
ies, and at one time when I was at Ju
neau recently I had to read the riot act
to one of the chiefs down there, who had
threatened to close up the cannery by
force If the prbprietors insisted on op
erating it The cannery Is still In opera
tion, and the Indians have not touched
It A new cannery was established in
the' Chllkoot Inlet, and there has "been
some friction down there, but so far there
has been no open trouble; although, as
before stated, I think there may be some
time."
A MARINE CYCLONE.
The End of It Struck naTrnll Impor
tation of Laborers.
HONOLULU, Nov. 14. The Hawaiian
Islands, have Just been visited by one ot
the worst wind storms that has been ex
perienced for some years. The weather
bureau says that It was the end ot a ma
rine cyclone, and that the storm Is mak
ing Its way to the Pacific Coast, where
It is likely to be severe. For three days
from the 9th, a continuous gale blew pver
all the islands, making heavy seas in the
channels and compelling many ot the
Island vessels to remain weather-bound
in safe plapes The steamer Kineaujost
one native sailor overboard.
News has been received here that about
200 laborers have been engaged in Massa
chusetts for sugar plantation work here.
They are French Canadians and Portu
guese, and were engaged In New Med-
ford. They are declared to have signed
contracts to work for two years at $22. a
month for eight months of the year ana
$1 50 per day for the other four months.
Women and children are to get from
$10 to $15 per month. The employers are
to furnish rent, water and fuel free of
charge. It Is hoped by the sugar men
here that this Is the beginning of a move
ment of Immigration of white labor here,
which will put an end to the necessity of
using Japanese, who now constitute tho
greater proportion of the labor employed
on plantations.
Practically complete election returns
from all the islands show that Robert
Wilcox Is elected delegate to Congress by
a majority of 316 for the term of the
Fifty-seventh Congress and of 277 for the
Fifty-sixth Congress unexpired term. The
returns also show the independent native
party is in full control of the Legislature,
