The Adams express car attached tc
passenger train on the St. Louis and
San Francisco railroad, was robbed oil
over $50, 600 between St. Louis and
Pacific, Mo-, on the evening of Octo-
Der 25. by person who boarded the
train before it left st. Louis and in
troduced himself to Mr.. rockingham,
the messenger. The stranger gave
the name of John Cummings to
rockingham and presented to him a
cleverly forged letter bearing perfect
fac-simile of the signature of Mr..
Barrett, local route agent of the ex-
press company at st. Louis. The let
ter stated that Mr.. Barrett had decid-
ed to put an extra man on the route,
that the bearer was the one, and that
Mr.. rockingham was directed to
teach him the details of the business.
The stranger was allowed to enter the
car and took great interest in all the
movements of the messenger. Mr..
Frothingham's suspicious were not at
all aroused and the stranger impressed
him as quiet and prepossessing COM
panion. The two men busted them
selves with accounts, ETC., until final
ly the new man was informed that
there was nothing more he could do,
and he seated himself in chair to
await new duties. In the course of
time it became necessary for the agent
to 60 to the safe, and upon turning to
60 to the safe saw the stranger with a
cooked revolver levelled at his (Froth-
ingham's) head. John Cummings
approached the dumfounded messen-
ger and told him if he remained quiet
his life would not be endangered, but
if he acted otherwise he could not
answer for the consequences. The
robber bound him hand and foot, put
a gag in his mouth and proceeded with
his work. AS the safe had been left
open it took but short time to
secure the bank notes and other valu-
ables to the amount of $4,000, when
he stepped on to the platform, locked
the door and jumped off. No trace of
the robber.

Russia is persistent: she never lets
go unless knocked out. Russia means
to have and hold her grip on Bulgaria.
She is making formidable war prepa-
rations with that end in view. Bull
garia objects, and so far pluckily
resists. The natural conclusion is,
Bulgaria would not dare to do this -
a small power incapable of holding
out against Russia single week -
unless she had assurances of help, if
needed, from Austria, and possibly
England. There are portentous
clouds in the East which threaten
thunder all around the sky.

The United States Supreme Court has
rendered another decision of great i'm
portance on the subject of interstate
commerce. 1t is decision which will
attract more attention even than the
former decision ON the same subject.
1t probably goes quite as far in the as
SeTtion of the power of the general
government over the commerce of the
states as is desired by the most extreme
centralist, and it will, for the same rea-
son, excite the most determined OPPOSE
ton of the states-rights school. The
commercial consequences of logical
enforcement of this decision will be
very great. Briefly stated, the majority
of the court say: We must therefore
hold that it is not and never has been
the deliberate opinion of a majority of
this court that status of state which
attempts to regulate the fares and
charges by railroad companies within
its limits for transportation which
constitute a part of commerce among
the states is valid law"
