Revelations Regarding the
Opium Ring operators.


Opium Ring operators.
WATERFOWL, N. Y, February 29.-
The report Of United States Treasurer
Agent Norris Winslow on the opium
smuggling cases, discloses the fact
that a large con -ignment of goods,
which was very probably opium, was
shipped from station in this country
on November 10, 1887, consigned to
M. H. Whitney of Kansas City.
A letter from Mrs. Whitney contains
an account, with the following
items for travelling expenses: From
Portland to Seattle and return three
times, $37.56; to Erie, Pa, from
Portland, 800, and other charges.
She claims that balance is due her
of 1919. Letters from Cinnamon
about shipments of sweet honey and
money due them are also contained
in the report. There is also letter
to Major Brooks, Collector Of Gus
toms, complaining that the Govern
ment officers Of Puget Sound pur-
posely allow and encourage
smuggling. The letter is signed "An
American Citizen" Another letter
of which the seal is broken, though
the stamp is uncancelled, is to Major
Brooks, Collector at Port Townsend,
w. H., from I. r. Stevens, of Vic
toria, B. c., and declares that Gard
ner not only owned the chest that
was seized there, but also the opium
that was in it. How these letters
came into Gardner's possession is un-
known. Other letters indicate that
Gardner is a man of many aliases.

Associated Press Dispatches to theHEHALDl !
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, February 29.-It is
reported that the st. Louis, Kansas
and Texas express train was robbed at
Kingslsnd, Ark, early this morning.
The express messenger locked the
doors, but the robbers smashed them
in and secured $4,000.
Later dispatches give further details
of the robbery. At l O'Clock this
morning, when the north-bound ex-
press was about mile from Kings
land, the train suddenly came to a
standstill, and the conductor stepped
to the door to see what was wrong.
As he opened the door a bullet
whistled by his head, and he at once
retired inside the car, where he re-
manned during the trouble. The rob-
bers went to work in
A COOL AND SYSTEMATIC WAY.
They boarded the engine and COM
manded the engineer and fireman to
get down from the box. Taking the
fireman and engineer with them the
robbers ordered them to call on the
messenger to open the car. They did as
ordered, but he refused to show up.
They then began a fusilade which
lasted while attempting to force their
way into the car, The fireman was
ordered to take the slash bar from
She engine and break in the door of
the car. He obeyed, but as he could
not get in, after ten minutes delay,
the robbers proceeded
TO SET THE CAR ON FIRE.
This forced the messenger to open
the door and the engineer and fire.
man were made to get into the car
first, their bodies thus protec ing the
robbers as they clambered in. The
messenger opened the safe without
further trouble and the contents were
quickly transferred to a sack. The
exact amount taken is not known
though late. reports state that between
$4,000 and $4,000 is about what was
stolen. Some place tho loss much
higher. A sheriff and posse are in
pursuit of the robbers The passen-
gers and m ail Car were not molested.

DENVER, February ga Republi-

lays: M. F. O'ReiIly, contractor Of
the new Court House here, was shot
and killed by Fred A. Hall, we'll

Leland Hotel at noon to-day. The
County Commissioners thought that

for the buildings construction, and
sent for Hall to come down, inspect
the building and make a report.
Halls report justified the opinion Of
the Commissioners, and while being
read at the session OF the Board,
this morning, O'Reilly violently at
tackled Hall. Friends separated them
and kept them apart until noon.
When the latter entered the dining
room of the hotel O'Reilly again at
tackled him, knocking him down.
While lying on the floor Hall pulled a
revolver and fred four shots, three

We hope, now that the President

to the propositions of the majority Of
the Pacific railway commissioners,
aud now that the committee on Paci-

sentatives has signified its willingness
to present q bill in accordance with
these suggestions, that, so far as the
Union Pacific railway is concerned,
it's relations with the government
may be finally adjusted under plan

However much the people may
differ among themselves as to the
best method of preventing a surplus
and reducing taxation, there are not
many of them who will take the
monstrous position that the way to
avoid surplus is to waste on ex-
travagant and unnecessary measures
the proceeds of taxation. Whether
there is a surplus or deficit, the duty
OF Congress to be economical in ex-
penditure as is consistent with good
administration remains the same.
And here is where John Sherman
makes his mistake.-[New York Sun,

Canal In New Mexico.


Canal In New Mexico.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, February 20.
The survey Of the canal contem-
plated in Southern New Mexico is
about completed. The report states
that it will be necessary to commence
at point near San Luis on the Rio
Grande. The cost of the construc-
ton to Santa Antonio, N. M, will be
about $28, 900 per mile. as the ground
is very rough. From the latter point
toabout ninety miles over the Jorando
de Muerte the work will be easy, and
and will only cost about 1000 a
mile, with the exception of tunnel a
mile and half long, which is esti-
mated to cost about $4,000. The
canal is surveyed for 100 miles, and
the total cost foots up to $4,970, 900.
The completion OF this canal and the
reservoir sci eme will bring under
cultivation over 100000 acres of
arid land. The originator Of the
scheme, General G. B. Bowman, is
now at Washington soliciting Con-
gressional aid in the matter.

veyor- General Hammond has written
to Samuel J. Randall, Chairman of
the House Committee on Appropria-
tions, asking for $50, 900 this year, as
against $33, 900 last year. He says
that in the ten years previous the
appropriations averaged $55, 900 an
nually, snd unless an increase is
allowed it will be impossible to do
justice to the immigrants seeking
homes in this State, to continue the
examination of the Spanish grants
