THOSE TRAIN ROBBERS.

Two prominent detectives who have
been engaged in u~nrsvsling the mystery
Of the recent reported attempt to rob
the express train on the Central Pacific
Railroad, advance new and original
ideas In the matter. Their theory is
that plumber was not the object desired.
but that 1t was simply q plot to intini-
date the railroad company into putting
on extra wstehmen along the route, and
thus making positions for themselves or
frierds. A dispatch. from which We
oondsnss. says;
The detectives think the powder.
masks and other things found there
were left for effect simply. They have
interviewed Chadwick, the express mes.
senger, and also frsmen Henderson and
Hsckstt. none Of whom claim to have
seen any armed men or other persons
whom they thought at the time were
robbers. Had the wreckers desired to
stop the train by simple means, they
would only have been obliged to turn
the switch slightly. II is believed by
tho detectives that the ~sanguinary re-
marks credited to the robbers were 10
part the uttersnoes OF men connected
With the train. and in part imaginary.
The night Was 80 clark that many OF the
scenes alleged to have been witnessed
BY the passengers could not have been
discsrnsd without the aid Of lanterns.
This does not altogether agree with
the stories Of the express messenger and
others at the time OF the episode In
question. yet the theory Is mot at oil
improbable or unreasonable. It GER
tsinly is more agreeable to believe thar
any other.

which is now In forch. There ls no
such thing as exclusive American control
over the isthmus. aud any man and set Of
men who assert that we should prevent, by
force, the construction OF q canal aeross
the isthmus by corporation which num-
Ders foreign citizens among its members,
on the ground that such work would be a
violation OF the Monroe doctrine. must
necessarily be either very ignorant OF the
whole subject or are recklessly endeavoring
to disturb our friendly relations with foreign
powers.
General Grant speaks of the necessity Of
constructing an American canal over
American soip' to secure new "coast line''
for our country. III we had annexed Mexico
and Central America down to the line of the
proposed Grant canal, 1t might be proper to
talk about our new coast line," but we
have not yet made the seizure, and Grant is
little premature Ia his remarks. When
his canal Is In operation, 1t will be discov-
cred that 1t will be used almost exclusively
by foreign vessels, for our own ocean ton
mage cuts very small figure in the mer-
chant navies of the world.
With such brilliant net profits as Grant
holds forth, he really ought to have no DIFF
hculty whatever In securing all the capital
needed and there does not appear to be any
necessity for resorting to Misrepresentation
about American policy" In order to float
the enterprise. The spiriS of Grants article
naturally engeRGerS the suspicion that he
has scheme for a government subsidy on
hand, which may suffer from competition.
He is simply playing off the Monroe doc.
trine as hoater for the canal corporation.
and there are few men, like Crapo, for in
stance, who are ready to go In with him.

he knew the deed was to be done, but claim
guilty parties were put In the guard house

"During last night the doors of the guard
house were forced open and Dave was

committed, and where, it is said, be made
full confession that he and Sam commit

COnkllng's Insult to His Wife.

Correspondence Louisville COuTteT-JouTndt.
The refusal of Mrs. Conkling and her
daughter to invite Mrs. Sprague to the
latters wedding was resented by the
Senator 10 the extent of absenting him
self on that occasion and q refusal to
speak to his daughter afterward. When
he wished to smooth his ruffled plumage
prior to the State Convention in New
York last February, he commanded
his wife to come TO Washington and
drive in az open carriage with Mrs.
Sprague and dine with her. If she Obeyed
he said he would call to see his daughter
aud lie reconciled to her. The injured,
patient wife meekly submitted, and
came to the Riggs House. where she
passed five days. Mrs. Sprague drove
in her carriage to the hotel, and sent her
card to Mrs. Conkling. She was re-
ceived. Next day the two ladies rode
together through the principal streets OF
the CITY. The last move IN the game
was the dinner. Many were bidden, but
excuses made by all but Judge
Swayne, Judge Field tout not
their wives). Mrs. Hamilton Smith,
a Mrs. Barrett, young member
OF Congress from Rhode Island, Mrs.
sprague, Senator and Mrs. Conkling'
These comprised the guests. The host
ess of Mr.. ConklIng caused the dinner TO
be written up for the press in the most
lavish style, with full description OF the
minutest details. Mr., Conkling consid-
cred this the ablest bit OF strategy of his
life; but when the martyr wife was
gone. and all was understood, it was
considered the flimsiest structure ever
erected. The whole thing toppled over,
and men blushed for their sex when
they considered the enormity of the out
rage upon an accomplishing wife.
