Ii has been learned that the name of the
informer ON the robbers is John Boone
Sweeney, alias John Boonie. He is the
lessee of a ranch about four miles cas-,
of Ninita, and first gave Information
of the proposed robbery To gentleman
named Edmonson, who was formerly agent
at Ninita for the St. Louis and San Fran
cisco road Mr. Edmonson in turn

to Mr. McNair, the present agent, who
made Mr.. Barrett, route agent for the
Adams Express Company, aware of the
facts i'm the case Barrelt's subsequent sc-

Ii is now said that il was not the inlen-

possession of the train, after which they
would run il TO the section house, five miles
this side OF Ninita, where two more Of the
robbers were i'm waiting. The four were

cars between the section rouse and Blue

STRAPPED STRATTON.
Thieves Went Through Him
and He Reached Sedalia
Dead Broke.
He Stated His Case to Members of
the l. o. q. T. Lodge, and Was
Rendered Assistance

\ young man named W. e. Stra,ton, OF
Littleton, ILL.,, arrived in Sedalia Saturday
night on the passenger train from the west,
and took up quarters in the depot, where
he remained until Yesterday morning, when
he started out in search Of Representatives
OF the /. u. q. L. lodge here, frOm whom he
desired to secure financial aid. He 10 a
man probably % years OF age, appeared To
be worthy, and said he had wife and two
children in the Sucker state. The story he
related is about as follows:
On Tuesday last he left home, having in
charge thoroughbred imported French
Norman stallion worth $1,000. owned by
his father, prominent stock dealer of Lit
Teton. and gentleman residing at Girard
Kas. 1t was his intention To take
the horse to the hall owner who resided in
the prohibition state, and on Friday he ar
rived there and turned the animal over to
that gentlemans keeping, after which he
started on his return trip home.
Arriving at Kansas City, he entered
coach standing on a side track, and II be-
ing something like an hour before the
train departed for st. Louis, he fell asleep
and did not awake until Independence had
been reached, when the conductor aroused
him by calling out Ticket, slr!."
S,ratton had purchased the desired
pasteboard before entering the cars at
Kansas City, SO commenced fishing through
his clothes for it, but it was not to be
found, and great was his surprise. He
then went down for his pOcketbook, which
he knew contained $50, but it, too, was
missing, and he began to show signs OF
alarm As a last resort he endeavored to
unearth some silver which he had carried
loose in his pockets, but it, also, had
taken flight, and he at last
realized that he had been robbed while he
slept, probably by some slick one who
makes practice Of hanging around the
depot in Kansas City and laying for soft
snaps.
He stated his case to the conductor, and
as he told straight story, he was carried
to this city, arriving, as stated, on Sstur-
day night.
Yesterday he applied to the members OF
the /. D. q. I. lodge here, Of which order
he is member, and they kindly advanced
him the wealth necessary to pay his fare
to his home in Illinois, and the first east.
bound train carried him on his journey.
He promised to reimburse his benefactors
here Is soon as he arrived at his destina-
ton, and the chances are he will do SO, as
he seemed remarkably grateful for the as
sistance rendered.

Englishmen, except a few of excitable
temperament, will not be a~ffrighted at
the prospect. The same circumstances
which bring together men Of one faiNh
from Tunis to Calcutta tend as much to
~localize as to ally. In proportion as the
sympathy of foreign MoslemS finds quick
er and easier expression, their conscious
ness of the obstacles to its manifestation
in deeds must grow more vivid. England
has no wish to crush by material superio-
rity the Mussulman faith in Egypt any
more than in India; and Indian Mahome-
dams know it. They know equally well
that, ifthey desire to promote the cause of

Resignation 0fglr ~ inEstry.
from the Iime8.)

AfOHt tfC tHtC6.J
PARIS, SUNDAY, July 80.
The Naval Credit debate, on which
the fate of the Cabinet was known
to hang, drew a thro g of spectators
to- the Chamber Yesterday. The
Diplomatic Gallery was filed, the
Senators spread beyond the gallery
allotted to them, and politicians Or
sensation-lover8 squeezed themselves
into every available space. The
general uncertainty as to the issue
of the discussion gave more than
usual animation TO the scene, The
opening, however, was far from in
teresting. The two Deputies first
on the list declined to speak until
the Government had given explana-
tions, while NJ. de Freycinet natural
ly declined to make the first move
by defending a proposal which no
body had attacked. At length NJ.
Achard filed up the gap, and, amid
a buzz of conversation, supported the
credits on condition of their being
strictly limited to the protection of
the Suez Canal. The rejection of
them, he urged, would not remove
any latent hostility to which France
might be exposed, while it would
possibly entail a rupture with Eng
land +; whereas the protection of The
Canal could not give umbrage in
any quarter. Another pause follow
ed. At length NJ. de Freycinet as
cended the tribune and said =
"The real bearing of the credits
has been strangely misrepresented,
and all who, like us, advocate a
peace policy, may vote for them
without hesitation. Let me, first of
all, distinguish between French in
tervention in Egypt and the contIn-
gent protection Of the >uez Canal.
Intervention is a military and politi-
cal operation requiring considerable
means of action, for it must be exer-
cised over an extended ares and is
concerned with settling a multitude
of delicate matters. Intervention
involves a solution of questions of
internal administration, of finance,
and of relations with Turkey
that is to say with the rest of the
world. These questions may give
rise, if not to conflicts, at least to
disagreements with several Of the
Great Powers, and for this reason
] cannot, in the general situation of
Europe, propose a military interyen-
ton in Egypt. If, indeed, the Con-
ference had commissioned us, we
might have considered the propriety
of accepting the commission, for it
would of itself have guaranteed US
against any surprise; but, failing a
commission, prudence and a feeling
of responsibility preclude us from
proposing intervention in Egypt tor
however laudable an object. l am

three months convene you. We
shall make use of the powers in the
event only of the Canal traffic being
materially imperilled. That is an
express reservation which we have
made with England, another reserva-
ton being that we should refuse in
any event to CO. operate with England
in intervention. All the Powers,
without exception, have admitted
the distinction between the protection
of the Canal and intervention; and
while a few days ago they seemed
| tile DESTROYS Of considering the
former, they now appear to be
roverting to the suggestion made by
us at the outset, that the Conference
should settle measures for the collect
i've protection Of the Canal. Depart
Ing from their friendly neutrality,
they seem to be reverting to the idea
of collective protection, and the
Conference will shortly in all proba-
bility recommends the examination
Of this question. Such n collective
protection would be quite according
to our views, and only in the event
of its not taking place should we
join England in occupying certain
points of the CaEaI. England also
is Qrite willing to have collective
protection, for only in default of it
did she propose to US dual protec-
ton. You may rest assured that we
shall not allow ourselves to be drawn
beyond the limits we have ASST gned
our elves. We have never done any
thing without the sanction Of Paula
ment, and if fresh operations became
hereafter necessary nothing would be
done without your consent. THIS ere
dit is, therefore, a direct appeal TO
your confidence, and it is for you to
consider whether you conf lie in our
wisdom and prudence-that prudence
Of which | have given SO many
proofs that | have been loaded with
rrproachpa and even with insults.
The entire Cabinet shares these
views. Not one of its members
would allow himself to be drawn
beyond the limits | have marked
out, and you may rest assured that
nothing will occur to make you
regret the confidence you will have
gwen us"
This speech was collIy recslved,
and was followed by one from NJ.
L%aisant, who dwelt on the impossi-
bIity of looking even a fortnight
a:.ead, suggested the possibility of
the French outposts being attacked
by Turkish or tgyptian forces, and
argued that, as in the case of Tunis,
if France put but IA finger into the
machinery her whole body will DO
drawn in. Such a risk, he insisted,
could not he run at a time when a
quarter of The Army was in Africa,
thus reducing internal defence when
military reorganization was in con
temptation. Her defensive interests
imposed on France prudence for the
purpose of securing a complete de-
%fensive organization without any
idea of conqI- st or annexation. The
next speaker was NJ. Langlo' s, who
maintained that if a singl4 French
man were landed in Egypt France

mental power we have burdens and
precautions ola special kind. Eng land
through the active part she has lately
taken, cannot now limit her initiative,
but is hurried on by events. Pru-
dence counsels us not to follow her.
The protection of the Canal, however,
has quite a different character, rails
ing no political question and %inyolv-
ing no risk Of conflict, seeing that
all Europe has the same interest in
the Canal. There might be such a
danger if the Canal were III the heart
of Egypt, but it only passes through
deserts, marshes, and lakes, where
we shall not encounter the Egyp-
tan forces, but merely q few
nomldic tribes incapable of carrying
on war. A corps Of 1900 or 5000
men, as the French and English AL
miralties have asrertaineI, will be
sufficient to guard against any attacks
from such quarters. The occuprtion
contemplated by the Bill is c%onine /
to two points, and the Minister Of
Marine has estimated that 1000 men
at most will insure against all at
tack. The first advantage Of this
limited occupation is that it responds
to the wish expressed by England.
Many speakers, both here and il the
Senate, have dwelt on the advan-
tages, mot Of the aIliance-for it is
not a question of aIllance-1ut oPtha
understanding with England, AMI
they have pressed the Government
to make ex~ertIons and even sacrifices
