THE ARR EST
of Three of the Train Robbers.

New YORK, Sept .. An independence,
Mo, dispatch says there is great excitement
there on account of the arrests of Creed
Chapman and John Brougher, two of the
gang who robbed the express train. They
were arrested near the scene of the robbery.
A brother OF Chapman gave them away to
the officers a. well as several others whose
arrest will soon follow. The parties arr ested
were heavily armed with rifles and navy re-
volvers. Both parties have weakened, and
confession is expected from them. The pris-
oners live within two miles of the scene of
the robbery. and there is no doubt but the
remainder of the gang except the leader,
live in the same ueighborhood. The leader
is undoubtedly the notorious Jesse James.
The entire county is under arms. and this
and adjacent counties are being secured The
money and vauables taken from the passen-
gers amount to $4,000,
Later Sam Chapman, another of the
gang, was just brought in.
KANSAS CRY, Sept. .. Nothing was dis
covered of the train robbers, and all pass
cs have been heard from except one. The
work was done by Kansas City men. Mr.. j.
Treat. agent of the express company. as
serts that the thieves got less than $500 from
his company. Ii so, the robbers got less
than $4,000, which will make the only divi-
dend for the seventeen men, which were en-
gagged. \ number of young men in the
neighborhood of Blue Springs, are suspected
as the guilty parties.

Secretary Window asked me this afternoon
if thought it would be proper for him to go
in soon, as he and Postmaster General de-
sired to go to the White Mountains as soon
as the Presidents condition would permit 1t.
He said that he merely wanted to take the
patients hand and say to him that there was
nothing in his department that required his
attention. DR.. Bliss,whe questioned as to
the Presidents lungs, said that there is moth
ing of a serious character about the lungs.

A novel and almost unprecedented ,

A novel and almost unprecedented ex-
pertinent in government is that which
France proposes to try in Algeria. In
stead of local government by officials in
part appointed by and wholly responsible
to the Governor General. henceforth the
several departments of Algerian govern
ment will be ordered by the home Minis
tries in Paris and will be administered By
subordinate officials of Ministries, This
reduces the Governor General of Algeria
from very important position to one in
no way superior to that of Project of a
department in France. What the object
of the experiment is. unless rs political
measure to force the Presidents brother
to resign, is hard to see. The chief inter-
est in the matter is to see whether or no
the experiment OF government by divided
authority administered out of the country
will succeed as well As government by
central authority on the spot. England's
rule Of India suggests some analogy. but
hardly enough to institute comparisons or
dedace probable results.

A new census has been taken in India.
and from the telegraph we learned, a few
days ago. that the total population is a
round 100000. 900 souls. or something
more than five times the population of
the United States. Accustomed rs one is
from very childhood to regard India rs a
thickly populated country. these figures
still awaken surprise. and again renew
the wonder that an alien power, thou
sands of miles away. should govern it
without more serious trouble. In many
ways there is not u more interesting tinan-
cial showing made by any nation than
the Indian budget of Great Britain. So
much has been published of bankruptcy
in Indian finances that the facts which
this budget gives, when war expenses are
eliminated from it, are as triking testimony
to the efficiency ofthe English government
and the vast resources of its far east coun-
try. For the year 1872 the budget reckons
upon a revenue of over SS54. 900 200. and
expenditures of over $3.50, 000. 200. show
ing clear surplus of nearly Si,300.0 900.

1890 r. N.



The morning bulletin while being favora-
bly, commented upon does not create q san
guine feeling. and the more cautious people
are not merely satisfied with the present, but
desire to wait further Developments before
entertaining the belief that the change will
not be interrupted by some unforeseen COM
plication. While the pulse has risen six de-
grees since noon yesterday and the fact that
it is eight degrees less than at the evening
dressing Yesterday are considered favorable
indications. The assurance of those having
access to the patients room, that the Presi-
dent is much better than he was before leav-
ing Washington is very generally considered
accepted and gratifying. The morning, al
though cloudy and hazy is comparatively
cool, with q refreshing breeze from the sea,
and the day is = decided improvement on the
first three or four days Of the week. The
Presidents cottage has been rendered COM
Portable by means of great fires, and the pa
tient 10 lying under additional coverings. The
thermometer at noon was IS degrees. A
threatening storm diminished the number of
guests to-day, and . large number left in the
morning train.
Attorney General Mcveagh, in converse
ton this morning with representative of
the Associated Press, said in substance that
he considered the Presidents case very en-
couraging and although there was every rea-
son to believe that the favorable condition
would continue. he desired to wait week or
ten days before entertaining the idea that he
is convalesceut. Atpresent everything looks
favorable. OF course We hope that what has
been gained will be maintained and added to.
but the difficulty is, the Presidents blood is
in an unhealthy condition, and until he re-
cuperates sufhciently to overcome any bad
effects OF blood poisoning. it is not safe to be
saneuine. If the improvement continues .
week or ten days. ii would then probably be
time to consider the question of conval.
escence.

Medical reports are all favorable to-day,
morning, noon and night. The President
has not for so mnay weeks done SO well for
so many consecutive hours. He has had q
very little fever. The respiration has been
normal, and the pulse has not exceeded 100.
He slept without opiate and gained strength
without stimulant. His nights are not so
restful as could be desired, but in "a hours
he gets sufficient sleep. The weather, though

Professor wayldnd of the Yale Law School
on the crudities and defects of our legisla-

them established in the claim business in
Washington. whose source OF wealth may
be said to be the plumbers of Congress.
After each adjournment they go carefully
over the Legislation of the session to find
where the language of the law is capable
of being perverted from its original pur-
pose to their own pecuniary profit. The
State Legislatures are. however, the great
