A Missouri Pacific Train Robbed.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 16.-A train robbery
occurred in this city last night The
Omaha express on the Missouri Pacific,
which leaves st 500, stopped at State Line
station, short distance from the Union
depot, where three men without masks en-
tered the first chair car, One, pretending
to be a news agent selling newspaper, COW
cred the passengers with revolvers and
com pelled them to hand over their valu-
ables, then making their escape as the train
was leaving the station. There were six
passengers in the car, and it is impossible
to say how much the robbers succeeded in
getting. The road officials say only one
man was robbed, that he was standing on
the platform and the robbers relieved him

CANADA AND AUSTRALIA.
A Project to Connect them by Cable-The
British Government Asked to Aid.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 16.-Sanford Elem
ing, c.. M. G., has returned here from Eng
land whittier he when to promote project
fora cable between Canada and Australia.
During his stay in London he submitted
the Canadian view of the question to Lord
Knutsford. The colonial secretary of the
imperial government, though warmly COM
mending the scheme, declined to commit
himself at present pending decision of
colonial government as to the traffic reve-
nue. guarantee asked for by the Eastern
ana Eastern Extension Telegraph com
panies At present the Australian colo
MES are practically at the mercy of these
monopolies which charge almost prohlbltive
rates.
Mr.. Fleming urged that the cable form
ing an alternative route should be estaO-
iished as a public work and controlled by
Great Britain and her dependencies. He
also favored the purchase of the Eastern
Extension. That would bring the govern
ment service as far west as India. If all
the cables from Vancouver to India were
under government control, the government
would be independent of all the lines pass
ing through Europe in any emergency.
ELECTRICIANS see no d1n1cultleS IN Lne
way, said Mr.. Fleming. 1t would require
of course, to be the highest class of a
cable The length is estimated at 5000
miles from Vancouver, b. c., to Sydney
n. S. w. But that would not be in one
stretch. There would be a number Of
midstations, and for that purpose the Brit
ish government has already secured island!
in the Pacific. The longest stretch would
be about twenty-seveu hundred miles an(
the others would range from 1900 miles up
There are at present stretches nearly a
long. The outside cost of cable would b,
81 100000. The interests charged fol
which on a government guarantee would
be e54G0 per annum, exactly the amour
estimated by the existing company as ne
cessary to carry out its proposals.

will be applicable to all cases as a relief
for the antagonism between capital and
labor. Every difficulty must be settled
upon its own merits. It is just here that
an intelligent labor organization, composed
only of one occupation, which seeks to Sc
cure right or redress wrong, can meet
its employer upon grounds which
will show their mutual dependence,
and promote their common benefit. 1t is
just here that ignorance or incompetency
on the one hand produces irritation and re-
sistance on the other. The period ought to
come when the employees III an industry
shall not be arrayed in hostile camps over
the whole country against their employers
in the same business; when combinations
will not be of workers on the one hand and
officials on the other against each other,
but with good sense and friendly DISPOSE
tions they shall meet upon common ground
for the common good and an overwhelming
sense of the common interest"

An independent Iowa Temperance Union.

DIES MONIES, Oct. 16.-There was warm
time in the state convention of the w. M.
T. U. to-day. The non-partisan question
was brought up, and Mrs j. Ellen Foster,
who with others left the national conven-
ton last year, warmly cbampioned the
non partisan course There was bitter
discussion, in which some of her opponents
attacked her for sympathy with the Re-
publican party.
Mrs. Foster replied that she, as an
American woman, chung to her right to
exercise her liberty under the constitution.
She was intense Republican. A woman
could be an intense Democrat and yet be a
non partisan worker for temperance.
A lady arose and asked If woman's
opinions as partisan should not be recog-
nized in this convention, and Mrs. Foster
replied emphatically, mo. There is alb
solutely no politics in this convention"
Finally, after an all day struggle, the
Iowa union voted to be no longer identified
with the national headed by Miss Willard.
This was carried by a vote of Bis to 6S.
The dissenters withdrew with the inten-
ton of forming an Iowa union on third
party basis.

A Popular Delusion Concerning Mormonism.

Popular DeluS10n concerning MOrilOniShi.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
LONDON, Oct. 16.-TBy cable to the New
York Herald. brigham Young, ir., has
been interviewed by the Liverpool Mercury
'It was" he said, "a popular delusion that
the Mormons were compelled to have more
than one wife and as matter of fact only
10 per cent. of the elder members OF the
community had more than one wife. The
Saints had always and would always honor
the laws of the land and now that laws had
been enacted by Congress for bidding plural
marriages the present president, MILFORD
Woodruff, had issued declaration OF sub
mission
He insisted, however, that the passing OF
prohibitive law was a direct stroke at
| religious liberty, but contrary to the pre-
vailing opinion that the recent presidential
manifesto is the death knell of Mormonism'
Mr.. Young maintains that although to a
great extent Acknowledgement is made to
| pose as medium of political tricksters tc
gain their ends, the spiritual nature of his
religion will overcome all such difficulties
in the United States. He said the suppress
sion of Mormonism was not moral OF
social question, but purely and simply {
political question.

share in it.

BLAINE AND MCKINLEY.
The Secretary of State Will Stump for the
Great Tariff Builder.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
NEW YORK, Oct 16-A World special
from Washington says: Now that the
President has returned Mr.. Blaine, it Is
expected. will at once leave for Ohio to
participate in the campain. His sole object
in gong, as announced by himself. is to
say word in Mr.. McKinley's behalf. The
country, he declares, must not be deprived
of the services of the bold and courageous
man who drew and passed the tariff bill
bearing his name.
The assertion is made that Mr.. Blaine
volunteered his services having become
alarmed at Mr.. McKinley's GOODNESS to-
wards him and at the combination the
Ohio Congressman had made with Mr..
Reed. For some years Mr.. Mckinley had
been one of those capable young men in
the Republican party, who by their loyalty
to him had kept Mr.. Blaines fortunes at
par. 1t was therefore with unspeakable
surprise that Mr.. Mckinley heard of that
denunciation of his tariff bill by his party
chief, which for time seemed to threaten
its existence even in Republican Congress.
| He is said never to have forgiven Mr..
Blaine. Certain it is, that when he went
into Maine campaigning last August, he
never once called on Blaine, but gave his
| Wnole IJme 10 Sounulng tue praises Oh feeu.
Then, at the close of the congressional SEES
sion, Mr.. Mckinley, after arranging to star
Mr.. Reed through his district, went home
without saying word to Mr.. Blaine; and
so it was that, seeing that Mr.. Mckinley
was deeply offended and not caring perma-
nently to lose, if he could recover, the
friendship and assistance Of sentimental a
lieutenant, Mr.. Blaine manedvered for an
invitation to go to Ohio and speak, and
secured one through the chairman of the
Republican state committee, who was in
ignorance of Mr.. McKinley's real fee lings
in the premises. Even Republicans here
are divided on the subject of the advisa-
bility of the appearance of Mr.. Blaine in
this campaign. Some of the wisest men in
the party believe that he will do Mr.. Nc
Kinley and the party in general more harm
than good, and would do well to stay al
home.
