Oarsmen's Challenges-A Last Offer From
 Ranlan.
 TsRoNTo, Ont, Sept. 13.-Edward Trickett renews his offer to row Charles E. Courtney a three or four mile race, straight away, for $1 1000 side, and says he regrets that the Union Springs sculler thought fit to leave the city without noticing his original chal- lenge. Riley and Courtney left for Fulton, N. Y, yesterday, where they will row in regatta. Trickett and Gaudaur challenge Hamm and Conley to row two mile straight away race in double sculls, in three weeks, for $500 side.
 Edward Hanlan publishes third in which he offers to row Wallace Ross, or any man in the world, three or four mile race, for from two to five thousand dollars side, on course to be mutually agreed upon, within six or seven weeks from date. He says this is the last offer he intends to make, and its fuIfilIment or non-fulfllment if not accepted within two weeks will end his career as professional oarsman. He deposits $500 with the sporting editor of the MGtt to make his offer good.
 Gaudaur challenges Conley, of Halifax, to row 8 two or three mile race in three weeks for $500 side. Trickett challenges Hamm, of Halifax, to row three mile race, for $500 a side the race to take place at Barrie or Brookville in three weeks from date. H. M Briceland offers to TOW either Mckay, of Halifax, or Mcdonald, of Ottawa, three mile single scull race, for $500 side, the race to take place at Wheeling, w. Va, ln two weeks from the signing of the articles.

Arrest of Another Train Robber.
 KANSAS C1TY. Sept. 13.-George Bannister, was arrested yesterday for disturbing public worship at a church in the neighborhood of the recent Blue Cut train robbery. While the minister was preaching Bannister jumped up and began firing off a pistol and hurrahing for the train robbers. He escaped at the time, but was arrested yesterday, and from his actions it is believed that he has betrayed himself, and he will probably be held as one of the participants in the train robbery.
 There are no other developments in the matter to day. The grand jury will be in session next Monday and the cases of the ar rested men will then be brought before them
 CHICAGO, Sept. 13-A special from Inde- pendence, Mo, to the Daily Neaos says the prisoners heretofore confined at that point charged with compGcity in the Chicago and Alton train robbery were this forenoon quickly but quietly removed to Kansas City. It is supposed this was done as preventive measure, as there is much feeling aroused in Independence in favor of lynching the more strongly suspected members of the gang This would certainly be done if there was a little more positive proof of guilt. A vigi lance committee is being organized by the business men and substantial farmers. The pursuing parties have not as yet been heard from and their whereabouts is unknown.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Star Route Fra uds-A General Desire
 For Prosecutions.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-There is very evident revival of interest here in the prose- cution of the Star route plunderers. It is impossible to ascertain even the approximate date of the presentation of the prepared cases before the Grand Jury now in session. It is doubtful whether even the government officers in charge of the cases yet know the precise time when this can be done, owing to the many matters the jury have to deal with as promptly as may be. It is understood to be the desire of the prosecuting officers to have the jury relieved of as much of the oth- CT business to be laid before it as possible, in order that the star route cases may occupy the uninterrupted attention of the jury after they are taken up. It is not improbable that the consideration of some of the cases will be begun next week.
 Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Upton says that there is no intention of issuing any call for 5-2O's until after Secretary Windom returns from his trip to the White Mountains and that even then none may be made.

A French Defeat in Africa.

A French Defeat in Africa.
 LONDON, Sept. 13.-Paris dispatches admit the serious defeat of the French in Tunis, and one which may result in serious disaster. The French troops met the Arabs near the town of Zeaehoud and were beaten in battle, and the Arab cavalry succeeded in tempora- rily cutting of the communications of the French detachment. The latter was obliged to fall back as rapidly as possible, the Arabs meanwhile worrying their Hanks and cutting off stragglers. This gave the African cav airy an opportunity for successful depreda- tory movements and they took advantage of it to such an extent that they were able nearly to destroy the canal which furnishes Tunis with water placing that city, pressed for a water supply as it is by an unusual in- Aux of strangers, in a position of at least temporary danger.

A PLEA OF INSANITY FOR MASON. WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. 13.-Sergeant Mason, who shot at Guiteau through his cell window at the District jail last Sunday night, is to be tried for the offence by g military court martial, although the details of the court martial have not yet been announced. Under the rules and regulations of the army he will be tried for ''conduet prejudicial to good order and military discipline The court will be convened by General Hancock. The order will be issued in a few days, per haps tomorrow. Mason's counsel, General Jonathan G. Bigelow, is anxious for clvli trial, but is not likely to get 1t. A plea Of insanity has been made for Mason, as 1t IS clear he is insane on one subject, averaging the assassination of President Gar field. It has transpired that he has brooded over this matter since the dayof Gui- teau's cowardly attack on the President Mason was in Texas at the time, and says he immediately resolved to kill Guiteau if he ever got chance The basis of his desire was, as stated by himself, that if Guiteau was killed and put under ground where no ray of light could reach him the President would get we'll but if Guiteau lived there was no hope for the Presidents recovery. Last Sat- urday was pay day. Mason drew his salary and paid off several little debts and resol we'd that Guiteau should die within twenty -four hours. An opportunity for shot at the Presidents assassin did not occur until Sun day night.
 GENERAL SYMPATHY FOR THE SOLDIER.
 General public sympathy and commenda- tion is expressed for Mason, and petition is in circulation among the government depart ments and elsewhere to defray the expense of his defense. His lawyer says he is confident he will be acquitted.
 THE OFFENDER AAdENABLE TO CIVIL LAW.
 There has been general impression that Sergeant Mason can only be tried by military laws his offence being a violation of the army regulations. An examination of the Revised Statrtes shows that he is not only punishable by the military authorities for conduct unbecoming 8 soldier, but can also be held responsible by the civil authorities for assault with intent to kill. The latter takes precedence, and under the law Mason must be surrendered to them upon demand.
