- : .-; - - '
ilwaukek, Nov, 12. The midnight
train from Chicago on tlie Milwaukee &
St. . Paul road was robbed by masked
men near the western , Union Junction,
at J o'clocktliis morning. Two masked
men ' with double barreled shotguns
clambered on the ' engine about one
mile from the Western Union Junction
and comr-ianded the engineer to stop
th train. The engineer and fireman
were then ordered to step out of the cab
and to march to the express car under
cover and the work of b'dwing open the
express car with dynamite bombs was
began, which is thus described by
Express Messenger Murphy. "The train
slowed up ' suddenly and "muskets were
poked through the top window -of - the
car and a second later a terrific explo
sion occurred that knocked "both myself
and Mr. Cook into a heap, half a dozen
more explosions followed and both doors
flew .off the bolts. Then two men wear
ing big black masks clambered, quickly
into the car and covered us with musk
ets. We were cautioned to maintain
silence tinder the penalty of getting our
heads blown off. After glancing bur
riedly about the car, the robbers fas'
tehed their fey es on the two iron boxes
of" the American- Express company's.
The jobbers brought the firemn in a
little later and went through .all the
boxes. They compelled us to hand over
our keys. They -dumped the boxes out
on the Toad bed. One of the jrobbers
kept us -covered with hia musket all the
time -while the other superintended
the operations. He secured all the bills
of money - contained in the safe. It is
very probable that the total amount of
the robbers' booty will amount to $100,
000 and possibly more." C
Agent John F. Bell, of the American
Express company, said to a reporter
that the approximate statement of the
amount taken by the robbers could not
be learned. He said; "$5000 in local
packages . is certainly gone, besides a
sum contained in two sealed envelopes.
Some of the passengers who were sound
asleep did not 'know Anything about the
hold-up until the train arrived at Mil
waukee. " Some , of the passengers
thought there were twenty or thirty
robbers,; others thought they saw only a
dozen, -while some said there were more
robbers than - passengers. . When the
train started np again the passengers
saw the safes lying beside the track but
the robbers had disappeared. When
the train arrived at the Union depot at
2:20 o'clock - the express presented a
sight . that would indicate that it had
been .attacked by heavy artillery.
Every door, and window was blown off
and the platform and walls shattered in
half a dozen places, wljile t'ie contents
of the car were piled indiscriminately in
a heap in the center of it.
A dispatch just received' here states
that the robbers - did not get .away with
the booty. The robbers after gaining
admission to the ;' express -.car com
manded the messenger to open the safes.
He refused, and the safes were pitched
out of the car onto the ground.1 In the
meantime the rear brakeman under
standing the situation rushed back to
the junction and got an engine and
posse at once and went to the scene, and
the robbers "fled. The robbers had tried
to force open the doors of the safe but
were unsuccessful. .

New Orleans, Nov. 12. The Ameri
can Bankers association resumed its se3'
sion tooay and the silver question had

St. Johns of New York made the fol
lowing proposition. ,

store the United States coinage system
founded with mint 1792, 'and onlv
abrogated in 1873." : -
rorlland Don't Lik It-
Pobtxand, Nov'. 12. Some dissatis
faction is expressed here at the action of

by some that the bridge does not cross
the river channal as prescribed by the
war department and is for that reason
i subject to condemnation at a loss to the
city.

Washington, Nov. 11. An official'
well versed in naval and state depart
ment affairs says: "It is only within
the last two days that a settled pro
gramme has been determined upon. It.
is substantially this: A demand has? .
already been made on Chili for explana-.
tion of the cruiser Baltimore tragedy..
Within a short time a second demand'
will be made. The second demand willi
recite that the first one has not met with,
the prompt action which the United;
States expected. If. Chili fails' to act,,
the final stroke of the programme will.
be made. Fleets of the United States
will meet in the harbor of Valparaiso
The purpose is to make this demonstra
tion unprecedented in the naval historj;.
of the United States. Every availablo
warship which floats the United States
flag will take part in the movements..
For the time being the-squadrons which
maneuver in foreign parts will be broken;
up and absorbed in the main rendezvous
at Valparaiso. The new ships and
those wnich are being repaired in the
navy-yards will be centered in Chilian
waters. It is believed the mere pres
ence of this naval force will be sufficient
to force the Chilians into an immediate
response. If it is not, it will then be for
congress to decide upon the future -course,
and if need be, issue a formal1
declaration of war. So far as the execu-
tive and naval antbori ties can- at, thft
massing of the fleet before Valparaiso,
will express their disapproval of ChHi?&,
course. It is the desire to prepare for
this rendezvous which causes the present,
rush in the navy-yards." ;
INDIGNANT OFKICERS,
Do Not tike the Tne t th9 EnRllsh :
Newspapers.
Washington, Nov. 11. Much indig
nation is expressed at the . state mf
naval departments at the conduct of cer
tain English newspapers in ascribing
foolish gentiments and remarks to Min
ister Egan and Captain Schley, in conr
nection with the pending questions be
tween the Chilian and United States
governments. No one here believes
what the papers assert, and the opinion
is held in the deDartmentn that
English papers in question are engaged'
in an effort to foment the growth of a
feeling of animosity by the Chilians
against the people of the United States-
In the case of Rrazil, no word is re
ceived from Minister Conger tending to-'-"
confirm the story of the revolt ot three --
of the principal- Brazilian provincen
which was also reported from English
sources. There is a disposition here also
to attribute to the English papers a de
sire to embarrass the Brazilian authori
ties, who were responsible for the nego
itation of the reciprocity treaty with
the United States, inasmuch as this ar
rangement has already sensibly ex
tended the commerce between Brazil
and the United States. The closest in
quiry failed to elicit any further inform
ation respecting the details of the agree
ment reached by the United States and
Oreat Britain to submit the Behring
sea case to arbitration.
Troublous Times in China.
Shanghai, Nov.' ll. Intense excite
ment prevails here. The course is tend
ing toward a great civil war. For
eigners in China are in extreme peril.
A chief of the great secret society, Kalao
Hin, has teen arrested in the French
concession at Shanghai. The viceroy at
Nankin has ordered him to be tortured,
hoping he will betray his accomplices;
if not, he is to be beheaded. The whole
province is in a state of siege and revolt.
Seditious placards are posted every
where. The European ministers at
Pekin are seemingly indifferent. The
Chinese ministers and officers fraternize
with, and call them friends,' banquet
them and get un fetes for thetn everv
day. The result of this is that the for
eign residents' indignation is bevond,"
expression. . "
. Are Apathetic and Cowardly.
London Nov. 11. The Marquis of
Hartington, in a speech at Manchester,
complained of what he termed apathy
and cowardise of the unionists in Ire
land as again revealed in rolling at the
recent election in Cork', thus renderim?
the work of -English unionists doubly -difficult.
