ty and the permanent supremacy OF tie princi-
Piles hold by Jefferson Jackson and Tilden.
Tho great fact Of the year is the return to ALSO

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, March 2i.-Last
night as the eastbound Atlantic & Pacific
passenger train was pulling through Canon
Dlablo, west Of Winslow, Arizona, IL was
boarded by four masked men. The train
was moving slowly and the robbers mount
ed the locomotive without any difficulty.
BY threats OF shooting they forced the en-
glneer TO stop the train. One of the men
stood guard over the locomotive, while the
others took the fireman TO the express car
and compelled him by threats 20 call 10 the
WellsFargo express messenger to open
the door. He did so and the robbers en-.
tered and searched the messenger. He
had between $500 and $500 In packages for
local points. but the safe containing sew
eral thousand dollars was not touched and
no demand made on the messenger 70 un-
iock IT, None OF the passengers were mo-
Tested, and from the meagre account OBJ
tained there appears TO have been no effort
on their part 10 protect Wells-Fargo prop-
erty. The four men left, going southwark
from Winslow. A sheriff and posse are In
pursuit
SAN FRANcIsoo, March 21.-Superin-
tendent Rowell, of the Weils-Fargo Express
company, said to-day he had received no
Information OF the reported train robbery
~ Holbrook, Ariz-, last night, and had no
idea rs 70 the amount OF treasure secured.
but he had no doubt as TO the truth of the
report. He considered the robbers selected

difficult to appehend them.

which Senator Cockrell Is chairman, has
completed Its work, and the report pre-.
pared by Cockrell who has really been the
committee) will be made 20 the senate In
q few days. The document Is nm exhaust
i've and interesting one, containing numer-
Gus illustrations OF how red tape and
eenseless adherence 20 forms and proceed
ure int errupts and retards the dispatch OF
that In some departments, the pension and
land bureaus, for instance, 1t required MS
long time as four or five years TO settle a
claim or get information OF certain kind.
Claims filed as far back as 1884
In these bureaus are still undis-
posed Of. In some Offices efforts
are making TO get out of the old ruts and
adopt new and better methods, with the
result that business is dispatched with
greater accuracy, more speedily and with
more benefit to those interested. The pay
master generals Office Is up with current
business, and requests for Information are
answered within twenty four hours. In
the surgeon-generals Office DIR. Ainsw0rth
has introduced card index by the use of
which he has caught up with business over
year behind at the time he took hold, and
has been able TO furnish information In ~

the old style. Cockrell says there is, how
ever, In many, II not most cases, a dlsp0si-
ton 10 Ignore the improved ways OF doing
business, and the report will recommend
among other things that a commission be
appointed with authority and direction to
institute the reform suggested.
