they consider unnecessary dilatorlousness
of the President in making appointments,
is growing daily and grumbling increases.
Last Saturday half a dozen or so Repub-
lican Senators, who happened to meet at
the Capitol, discussed the Presidential tar
with warmth, and commenting
freely upon what they regard as favoritism
shown certain Senators. 1t was remarked
that both the Massachusetts Senators had
been slighted and neglected, that the Gus
tom-house appointments in Boston had
been vacant some weeks. and though both
Senators urged daily the filling ct them,
the President had taken no action at all.
One Senator said it looked to him as
though the Administration was a close
corporation, made up Of leading Stalwarts,
including several Senators. 1t was said
that no Senator except Logan and Don
Cameron could get an appointment, and
they seem to get any they wanted. This
subject is a matter of every day talk now
between Republican Senator's, and criti-
cisms and complaints that were recently
whispered are now loudly spoken.
Jesse James and His Gang Put Up
n Job ON some COuntrymen.
KANSAS CRY. March 28.-John Laird,
one of the indicted Blue Cut train robbers,
has made a confession at Independence.
He says the Stevens boys were with the
old gan which was headed by a man he
ppose to have been Jesse James; that il
was the members of the old gang who en-
tered the express car and went through the
train, and that all the country boys did
was to keep up q racket on the outside.
After the robbery the entire party went
into the woods a short distance. where the
leaders, who had all the swag in their pos
session, said TO the boys: "Boys, re haven't
| got time to divide; they are too hot sitter
us, and we didn't get the money we ex-
| pected anyhow. But We will all meet on
| the right fork Of the Blue next Wednesday
| night, just one week from the night of the
robbery" With that all Of the old gang
mounted and rode away with all the booty
in their possession, while Laird and his
comrades dispersed for their homes, no
richer than when they started. Before the
night arrived which had been set for the
division, most of them were safely jailed,
and the others were fleeing the country as
rapidly as possible. He declares his belief
that the robbery was a put up job, deliber-
ately planned by James and his gang. for
the double purpose of securing the plumber
and getting the country boys into trouble,
in order to direct the attention Of the
authorities from their own actions.
