Parts of the Country.
California Bandits Rob a Train and
@esr>~~ Commit Murder.

The Coroner held an inquest over the body
Of Charles F. Gabert, who was killed in the
train robbery near Pi1ley, Cal, the
other evening. He was native Of West
Virginia, aged twenty years, and was in
stantly killed. Testimony given by P. T. Fol-
ger, engineer, and Q. J.. Alder, fireman,
showed that when leaving Pixley
two masked men boarded the engine
! with shotguns and ordered the engineer
to pull out. They fred a shot when two
to slow down. The engineer and fireman
were taken hack by the robbers to the ex-
press car, and bomb was thrown under the
car. The explosion nearly turned the car
over. The messenger came out when Or
dered.
One of the robbers entered the car, while
the other held the fireman, engineer and
messenger under cover. Meanwhile Brake.
ma Gabers came up on 0ns side
the the 'ss other anu side SeH to s see the The
cause Of the delay. When they. were ap..
preaching, one robber exclaimed: !"Stop," |"
and fired Gabert received a heavy load OF
buckshot in the heart and head, killing him
instantly.
The robbers then reached under the car
and fired at the other man. Bentley
was strucK Dy several sno1 III the
abdomen and right arm. The robbers
then marched the three man upon the
engine and backed away into the darkness.
1t was thought that the affair was not the
work Of professionals, as it was needlessly
murderous. The robbers secured only S40o.
Armed parties were securing the country in
search Of the robbers.
A. dispatch received from Bakersfield says
that the robbers had been oyertalSen by the
officers who went in pursuit, and that one Of
the former was killed and one captured alive.

DULUTH, July 6.-Fifteen hundred street
employees who went on strike few days
ago became unruly this afternoon and at
tackled the police with stones and clubs,
compelling them to fire. Two strikers
We're killed and several dangerously
wounded.
The Timber mems strike, which has been
in progress several days, terminated to-day
in bloody war between the strikers and
policemen. Thirty determined policemen
were pitted against 1900 desperate
strikers, armed with pistols, stones
and clubs. -Four thousand men were
employed on the street and sewer
improvements, at $3.50 per day. till last
Tuesday, when 1900 struck for an advance
OF % cents per day. The contractors re-
fused to accede to their demands. The strik-
ing men had many recruits each day and
the mob finally increased to nearly three
thousand. There had been ugly rumOrs
concerning the determined attitude of the
strikers all day, and preparations have been
made by the police department for any
emergency.
Allday long the men had been at work on
the Fifth street contract, but about 3
o'clock the strikers compelled them to de-
sist. At $3.50 o'clock crowd of strikers
had reached Third street and Twentieth
avenue, west, where the shade of the trees
and the known determination of the police
at Garfield avenue caused them to wait.

CHICAGO, July ct developed to-day
that the Chicago & Alton's notice of a re
duction in the rates from Kansas City to
Chicago applies not only to cattle but other
commodities as well. The idea is to make
the rate on cattle pc. per hundred weight,
instead of 2719c., as at present; on dressed
beef, 23c., instead of 2Sc; on packing
house products, 1Sc., instead of 2Oc. !;
on live hogs, 18c, instead of 25c
Furthermore, the Alton proposes to make
4 reduction in minimlm car load weights
of LOCO pounds on cattle and 1900 pounds
on sheep. The notice OF these contem-
plated reductions will be considered at the
meeting Of the Western Freight association
Tuesday. 1t is probable that when the
proposition is voted upon it will be de
feated. The Alton will then give the re-
quired ten days notice to put the reduced
rates into effect, regardless of what its
competitors may decide.
President Stickney. president of the
Chicago. St. Paul & Kansas City railway
has notified Chairman Walker of his in
tentiOn to extend the special commodity
rate to Missouri river points The Rock
Island proposes to bring suit at once against
the Chicago & Alton on the charge that
the latter has violated the interstate COM
merce law in accepting a lower rate
on cattle shipments to Chicago when origi-
mating beyond the Missouai river, than it
accepts on such business originating at
Kansas City. The charge will be made also
that the Alton has violated the agreement.
and Chairman Walker will be asked to take
action.

About 80 o'clock the mob headed by a
number OF hot-heads, rallied and started
back for the sewer trench. They were
| Infatuated by the presence of the police
and their control of the situation. Half an
hour later they made a rush The police
| drew their clubs and revolvers. Captain
Gordon said there was no use to bother with
clubs, so they fired into the mob a volley
One striker fell dead, while seven were
even wounded, most seriously One police
man was shot in return through the Jaws
Three men are dead and twelve or fifteen
wounded. A number of strikers started
from Twentieth avenue while another
body came down from Third street and
Twentieth avenue and made rush with
clubs and rocks. The police stood their
ground who did the first firing. AS the
strikers made the rush single shot was
fired at them. Crack went the rifles of the
police followed by fusilade from the
strikers revolvers. After the first fire
came an awful hush as the combatants
were appalled, at the awful result of their
work. In front of the workmen on the
walk lay man shot through the head
Several more were bleeding from gastly
wounds.
The strikers then stationed themselves
around the buildings in different parts of
the blocks between Seventeenth and
Twentieth avenues, and poured a steady

THE AMERICAN EXHIBIT
At the Paris ExpOsitiOn-It is a Success in the
Best Sense Of the Word.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, July 6.-The statement re-
Gently made that the American section of
of the French exposition is failure, re
ceives an emphatic denial from an Examiner
commissioner just returned from Paris.
No doubt the theatrical displays of other
countries make the exhibits of this country
seem less attractive from a popular point
of view, but, nevertheless, the commercial
and mechanical displays OF the United
States carry away the honors over all other
exhibitors.
The Egyptian section presents an exact
representation of a street in Cairo, mer-
chants, dankeys and all.
The Japanese present their Jurickshahs,
their amptheatres; the Tunisians, their vo-
luptious dancing maidens. Then there is
theminiature castle, with wax figures of
prisoners and the Congo blacks in their real
palisades. These are all effects which are,
however, interesting and amusing, but they
should not count against the substantial
display of a great people, and they don't.
The American exhibit is so large that it is
scattered all over the exhibition grounds.
However, this is also the case with Great
Britain. The true character of our dis
play. therefore, is not so obvious to super
fetal observation as it would be were all
the machinery concentrated in one locality.
Almost all the machinery at the machinery
hall is American, and certainly the Edison
exhibit is feature enough to satisfy the
dramatic taste of even those who want
nautch dances and WaXWOrks in their view
OF such exhibition of arts and industries.

BISMARCK'S LETTER
About Switzerland's Policy To-
wards RevOlutiOniStS.
FOUND II THE COLUMBIA RIVER.
A Note From Dying PrOspectOr-Ri in
Duluth-HarrisOns Return-W WINDOWS Re-
ceptions- Montana's Convention.

BERLIN, July COPYRIGHT 1889 by
the New York Associated Press. Bis
marck's letter to the German minister at
Berne, published in the ReichstddziDer on
Thursday, has been the prelude to a general
outcry by the semi-official press menacing
the neutrality of Switzerland. The letter
says thatif Switzerland continues to permit
revolutionists to threaten the internal
peace and security of the German empire,
the powers will be asked to consider Swiss
neutrality. An exchange of communica-
tons has resulted in an identical policy
being adopted by the Austrian and italian
governments to compel Switzerland to com
ply with the demands of Bismarck for a re
vision Of the laws affecting refugees. The
appointment of a new procureur general at
Berne indicates a desire on the part of
the bundesrath to amend the laws in the
direction of Prince Bismarck's' desires. To
nights adyices from Berne show that the
government is alive to the possibilities of
the situation.
The bundesrath has concluded to nego-
tate n loan of 20000.C00 marks TO provide
rifles for the army. A syndicate of bank
ers, headed by the National bank of Swift
zerland, viii float the loan. Apart from
official circles, German feeling leans TO-
ward Switzerland, and is hopeful that moth
ing viii disturb existing. sympathies.
The conference of Catholic bishops at
Eulda has been fixed for August g. preceded
by Centrfst electoral of congresses at
Munich, Cologne and other places. The
bishops will reconsider the general policy
Of the party towards the government on
the eve Of the election. The relations of
the Centrists and the government have
been disturbed by Prince Bismarck's inter-
ference with the episcopal elements The
leaders of the Centre party are alive to the
fact that while the Catholics have the
numerical majority III number Of districts,
the minority holds the representation.
The strikes are waning, and starvation is
forcing the strikers to yield. In Berlin
1000 masons resumed work on Wednesday
The painters have appointed committee to
meet to masters commission appointed
TO inquire into the miners strike and have
reported to the government. The terms
are favorable to the men. The North GER
nGu Gazette says that Bismarck approves
of the formation Of gigantic coal depOts |
from which III case Of necessity manufac- !
turers could be supplied.
The seizure of DR.. Peters steamer |
near Abien is the subject Of = |
communication between the Emin |
relief committee and Count Her
bert Bismarck The committee has asked |
the government 70 protest against the |
action Of the English admiral, but Count |
Herbert declined. The Cologne Gazette ad- |
mit5 tie legality of the seizure under the |
blockade, but denOunces the real motive of
the seizure and adds, the expedition is
opposed 10 English commercial interests
and is intended to Interfere with the trade

! possibility of dispute or civil. He found
| his man physically wreck, weakened
by disease, bloated by dissipation and in
three months he has brought him to con-
dition of physical perfection which is the
wonder of the pugIlistic world. Men who
have known Sullivan all their lives and
seen him in all his battles, declare that he
was never more fit in all his fistic career,
some even go so far as to asset that he is
better than ever. This view is open to
dispute, however, because of trife too
much flesh about the region of the stomach.
An Associated Press reporter called on
Muldoon this afternoon and found him
serenely confident. sullivan is all right"
said he. 81 have more at stake than anyone
else except Sullivan himself, and l am
satisfied with his condition. Sullivan
weighs POP pounds to-day and will probably
take on two pounds day more until the
fight begins, which will bring him up to
POS pounds He is in excellent spirits, sing
ing and chatting merrily He will go into
the ring wearing a plaster of pine pitch
which will encircle his body like wOmans
corset and cover almost as much space. 1t
is made of buckskin lined with pine pitch.
1t is said to have a very bracing and
strengthening effect on those who wear it,
An Associated Press reporter asked Nit
chell to day if a plaster would furnish
ground for technical objection. He replied
IL WOulu HOl, lGdh INK lllt III pIGS5lOl Ol
the reporters mind that not only Sullivan,
but Kilrain also viii g6into the ring braced
up with pitch plaster.
Sullivan spent to-day much the same as
yesterday. He rose at {, took bath, ate
breakfast and afterwards received the at
tention Of the barber. His breakfast con-
sisted, as usual. of broiled chicken, tea and
toast, etc. While in the BARRIERS hands he
fell asleep. MuldOOn did not rouse him,
but let him sleep an hour At O'Clock
the big Bostonian lunched and developed
an enormous appetite. It took three spring
chickens to satisfy him, in addition to a
plentiful supply Of chicken broth and rice.
His usual glass of ale was also
allowed him. At 3 o'clock he crossed over
TO the gymnasium and again began tossing
the ball. Afterward he skipped the rope
200 times, and after y brief interval re
peated the exercise four times, making the
total number of sllips l,CGO. This Will end
his preparation for the fight, unless a post |
ponement becomes inevitable. Sulliyan's |
seconds were decided upon six weeks ago, |
but the choice is kept a profound |
secret. The Associated Press reporter |
thinks it safe to predict that they |
will be Joe Coburn and Mike Cleary. |
Coburn IS full Of resources and up 10 all !
the tricks Of the trade and would make an |
invaluable second. When asked about it |
by q reporter, he was nOn-committal but |
declared himself willing to serve.

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
CHATTANOOGA, July ct was intended
that Kilrain should take dinner here yes
terday, but he got so hungry when he ar
rived at Oakland that he ate there. He
only drank weak tea and ate piece of
stale bread in Chattanooga. No trouble is
now expected in getting through Mssis-
sippi, as Kilrain intends 10 break no law
against that state. Even if he should be
arrested, they could only detain him over
night at longest and require him to give
bail to keep the peace. There are men in
every town in Mississippi who can be Sc
cured for this purpose. If the collateral is
put up in cash, there is enough of this ma
terial on the train at Jake's disposal to go
bail hundred times over. Pony Moore
alone has over one hundred and fifth thous-
and dollars with him.
The story of funk is utter bosh.
