Aftr the shootlne the roblwrs fled without sn-urlng nny booty. Two of the highwaymen boarded the trulit ut Troutdnle, n station 18 miles Wirt of here, and, afu-r the train had got under way, they crawled over the tender and. covering the engineer and fireman with revolvers, told them to stop at mile po't :'l, which Is near Cor- bett station, When the tnun slowed down two more men appeared. Two of the robbers compelled the engin"r to get out of the cab and accompany thm to the express -ar. .vhlle the oUv rs watched the flrenmn. The men carr several sticks of dynamite and wh n tW came to the baggage car, thlngins; It was the express car, they threw stick at the car door. Express Msst'iiger Korner haord the explosion, and Immedlttely secured his rllle and ojned (Ire. The bullet pierc ed the heart of one of the robbers and went through his body, entering the j left breast of Engineer Barrett, who I was Just behind him. Parrett s wound Is altove the h-art and Is not necessar ily fatal. j After the shooting the other thre j robbers fled without securing any booty, and it Is enplaned they took a bout which th'y had moored at t!: i bank of the river. The point where th hoHlup occurred Is on the bank of thi Columbia river, a precipitous moun tain on the oth-r side of the track. Tie easlenl route to sea pa is by the rlv and the officers believe that the robber will cither crosi to the Washing! chore or come down the river to ttla city. The roblwr ordered Engineer Bar reit to walk In front of him while ap proaching the Uiggnge car, but he Jumped behind Just before the shot from the express imss'nger's ritie was fired. The body of the dead robber was left beside the track and .hat of the wound d engineer placed on the train, which WM run to Bridal Veil, a distance of six miles, by the fireman. An engine. and caboose from The Dulles brought the engineer to this city, arriving at 12:30, a. m., an.t h was taken to St. Vincent's hospital, tiherlff Storey and four deputy sheriffs left on a special train for the scene of the robbery at 12:45, but they have small hopes of capturing the robbers, as the country on both sides of the river Is rough and heavily timbered. The Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company late last night offered a re ward of $1000 for the arrest of the high waymeni It Is believed that the robbers are am ateurs from the fact that they mistook the baggage car for the express car. The door of the car was badly shatter ed, but th trucks were not Injured, and It was not detatched from the train Engineer Barrett Is one of the oldest men on the road, having been employed by the O. R. & N. for 20 years. RESIGNED FOR SELF RESPECT. London, Sept. 23. Arthur D. Elliott, who has Just resigned the financial secretaryship of the treasury, because of his disagreement with Premier Bal four's financial views, writing to one of his constituents In Durham City, says he Is In complete agreement with the free trade views of ex-chancellor of the exchequer, Mr. Ritchie, who found It Impossible to hold office any longer In a government which Is tend ing steadily toward a policy of protec tion. He could not remain In office with out an entire loss of self-respect. The time has arrived, he continues, when the electors must decide for or agnlnst the policy of taxing imports of food which, though deferred for the moment will be the ultimate Issue. Regarding retaliation and fiscal free dom, Mr. Elliott agrees with I'remier Balfour's pamphlet that the govern ment should be free to consider cases (is they arise on their merits and take such action as it considers right, sub ject to the approval of Parliament. In conclusion he writes that he hopes to retain the, confidence of his constit uents at the general election, which "cannot be far distant." OFFER. BIO REWARD.

MAY BECOME OREGONIANS Ail the Hatficlds But "Devi Anse" Coming West Cincinnati, Sept. IS. (Special corres pondence to The Astorlan) The Hat field family has evacuated Kentucky and West Virginia. 4 Every member of the family that will be remembered a long as history re cords Kentucky feudlsm has left "the, dark and bloody ground" all but one, and he the moat noted of this extraor dinary family Involved In the greatest of all feuds that have In these latter days Justified tho Indian name of Ken tucky, the Hatfield McCoy feud. 'Devil Anse" Hatfield alone remains. an Impr salve, If not forbidding, repre sentative of his family, In Kentucky, AU others, men, women, and children. topk yesterday morning what may ,be their last glance at the green bills of the fair state that for a hundred years has be?n their native land. It wna a regretful parting, yet one that wcs voluntary. Pathos was Inter mingled with Joy and hope, a hop that In the parting of the ways there would follow pence and prosperity In the far West to serve as recompense for the voluntary exile. , Today "Devil Anse" Hatfield return ed alone to the mountain home where, tor years, he d -fended life and proper. ty agilnst his mortal enemies all the McCoy family of Kentucky. jne last glimpse of Kentucky, the parting of the leader and the members of this remarkable family, took place at tne J-pot It was marked by pathos probably not expected in people who for years cnrrled their lives In hand and the trustworthy ritle that was al ways backed by a keen and unerring sight. From the Information that could be secured from members of the party tt was learned that the recent terrible nfrnlrs in Breathitt county between the Hargls and Marcum Cockrlll factions are the main caus?s of the removal of the Hatfield family to the West. Half a dosen years have passed since the Hiitflelds and McCoys lined up in battle array, the truce between the two having developed Jnto what seemed a permanent peace. It may have so continued, but some of the peace-loving members of the Hat field family saw In the Breathitt county affairs possibilities of the former solrit ofung aroused. Men and women who loved their own and wished their lives above the fan cied honor of the Kentucky code be ame rearrui as. week after week, the situation In Breathitt became graver ana more complicated. beveral of the older members of the family consulted, and plans were made to remove to the great Nortbwest. It required several week's pesuaslon to bring about the consent ot all the Hatnelds, and all but "Devil Anse" are now on their way to the Northwest and will locate In the state of Washington or Oregon. It was. a pathetic scene when men, women, anl children crowd ed about the windows as the train moved out, to take a last look at tho green fields of their "Old Kentucky Home." ,, Before the train started "Devi! Anse" Hatfield, with actions belying totally the reputation and the name that mark him. went from seat to seat, kissed the babies and younger children and gave a parting handclasp to the elders, while tears that would not be repressed, sprang to every eye. The parting was not long. The slg: nnl for the start was given, there was a Inst good-bye shout to "Devil Anse" and as he stepped from the rear coach the train swirled out and on to the new hoifie of the Hatflelds. FIRE DESTROYS MUCH HAY. Lakevlew, Oregon,Sept. 23. (Special) Lower Chewaukan marsh, about 30 miles north of Lakevlew. has been burning for the past three days and about 6000 tons of hay has already been destroyed, ; EDWARD HAS INTERFERED British Ruler Takes a Hand in the Reconstruction of the De- ' fund Cabinet MEANS TO REMEDY SCANDAL Ha Been In CoiMnut C'omniunl cation With MuMvn and IItegart.d a Cab inet Muker. London, Sept. 2J. The political cri sis has taken on a phase which l?r.ds to the present situation historical and unprecedented Interest. The kins has Interferred, not unconstitutionally or beyond the powers vested in the crown, but in the exercise of his prerogatives to an extent never dreamed in the Vic torian era. Premier Balfour's continued presence at Balmoral has given rise to much sur mise and comment, but the Associated Press is able lo slate definitely that It Is the king's determination not to assent to the formation of a new cab inet until thoroughly satisfied that Its persoitneil and combination are such as to Inrure the efficient -arrytng out of national affairs pending the r sumption of parliament. For year previous, cabinets were appointed or ml"".'''Ur'.al vacancies Oil ed by the mere presentation to the sov erlfca c' the nam. a c' the new minis ters. Kng Edward has done away with this tradition. He has spent the last few days in constant conference with Balfour, as to the advisability, from his point of view of the welfare of the na tion, of the tatter's suggested appoint ments. The ministers now holding of fice, and those nominated for office, have been summoned to Balmoral to Join in these conference and all have been subjected to a degree of interro gation such as has surprised even those who knew King Edward intimately as prince of Wales. To such an extent Is the king holding his power of veto in reserve that he is now almost regarded by tha Inner circles as more the cabinet maker than Balfour himself. Though with hiii usual tact the king has re franed from expressing any political views or Infringing on the ministers' prerogulves, this has not prevented him from expressing bis desires, that amount almost to command, that steps be taken to remedy the scandal In the army administration revealed by the report of 'he South African war com mission, and insisting that the new cabinet shall be one adapted to deal with that question.
