DALTON AND DEAN.
The Identify OF the Ceres Train Robbers
Being Well Established.

MoDEsTo, CAL, Sept. 7.-Sherif Pur-
veys, of this county, and Detective ].
N. Thacker went to Visalia this morn
ing, to bring back Dalton and Dean, who
were arrested near Traver yesterday
afternoon. A lady of camping party
near the scene Of the robbery, accom-
panied the officers for the purpose of
identification. Some men stopped the
evening of the robbery, at the camp, and
asked for drink of water.
IMPORTANT WITNESSES.
MERGED, CAL, Sept. Yesterday af-
ternoon Detective Lawson hunted up
the camping party from whom the
Ceres train robbers obtained drink of
water on the evening of the robbery.
He found them near Athlone, ten miles
south of here. They are young couple
named Graham, and are on the way to
Los Angeles. Friday night they were
camped near Keyes, three miles south
OF Ceres. About 6 80, when fairly dark,
two men came up and asked for drink.
One, a tall man, came into the tent, bu
the other, who was shorter, kept in the
background. The tall man carried a
shotgun wrapped in his coat. Mrs.
Graham unhesitatingly recognized a
portrait OF Bill Dalton as that of the
short man. The Grahams will be con-
fronted with Dean as soon as possible,
and if they identity him as the tall man
the evidence will be complete.
RILEY DEANS RECORD.
STOCKTON, Cal, Sept. 7.-Riley Dean,
who was arrested with Bill Dalton, Sun
day, and charged with completely in the
train robbery, lived in this county for a
long time, farming as a jumper on the
so-called Moquelemos grant. He left
here five or six years ago and has since
been living in Tulare county. 1t now
transpires that the officers agreed that
Bill Dalton and Riley Dean should be ar
rested as the train robbers, and Detec-
tive Smith, of the railroad force, tele-
graphed to Sheriff Kay to make the ar
rests, Dalton being known to be near
Trever. Sheriff Cunningham came here
to help look out for Dean, if he should
chow up in this section, where he has
relatives. The officers believe they have
the right men.

A Reorganization OF the Interstate
Commission Necessary.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9-Judge Cooley,
chairman of the interstate commerce COM
mission, has rendered his resignation be-
cause of ill health.
The long expected resignation of Judge
Cooley, with the demise of Judge Bragg,
will compel a reorganization of the inter.
state commerce commission, which de-
mands careful attention just now, If its
usefulness is to be preserved. 1t is nearly
two years since Judge Cooleys health be-
gan 70 fail through overwork, but Judge
Cooley has never admitted until now that
he ought to leave the commission, although
for most OF the two years be has positively
been an embarrassment to il. The COM
mission has not gained ground during the
past year. Ii 1T is TO make progress it must
be strengthened. Not only are two strong
men needed, but an extension OF the term
OF service perhaps TO good behavior is
believed 60 be needed. With favorable
decision In the Counselpan case sustaining
the power OF the commission TO ask ques-
tions, however, and the appointment of two
strong commissioners, the commission will
enter on new and better lease of life. Col.
Morrison is the only Cleveland commits
sioner remaining, and as the oldest in GER
vice IS likely to be made chairman. Under
the law one OF the new commissioners will
have to be democrat aud one q republican.

WAR SHIPS FOR THE PACIFIC.

The Number of Vessels on the Atlantic
Coast TO Be Reduced.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.-An order was
issued by Secretary Tracy to-day which
forbodes considerable reduction of the
number of naval vessels now on the North
Atlantic coast. 1t was directed to the chiefs
of the bureaus, and ordered them to i'm
mediately prepare the Yorktown for service
on the Pacific station, and the gunboat
Petrel for service on the Aslatic station.
The orktown is at present attached to
Admiral Walkers squadron of evolu ton,
and the Petrol to the North Atlantic squad
ron, commanded by Admiral Gherardi.
Probably a month will be consumed in fit
ting out the vessels for their long voyages.
ROUTE OF THE YORKTOWN.
The Yorktown will go down the coast Of
South America through the straits of
Magellan and then probably north to San
Francisco. She is an economical vessel to
maintain in active service, by comparison
with the larger cruisers, like the Charleston
and Baltimore, and with San Francisco as
q base can be hurried off TO Central or
South America, the Hawaiian islands,
or Samoa at short notice.
The little Petrol will probably cross to
Europe, run through tue Mediterranean and
Red seas and go to China, by way of India.
She is especially designed for service in
shallow waters, and will prove to be a val
uaOle adjunct to Admiral Belknap's fleet in

man, met to-day at the Exchange hotel.
Representative democrats were present
from every congressional district in the
state except the Sixth. There was consid-
erabie discussion on the question of

question of methods touching nominations
should be left to the oounty and district
organizations. 1t was decided tnat it was
better not to pass any resolution intended to
shape this policy, but that the matter of
how best TO act should be left to the local
organizations, these local organizations to
confer with the state Chairman and get his
advice and aid whenever they were needed.

called upon and spoke briefly of the situa~
ton. He said the Democratic party In Vir-

stated. are these: Shortly after 80 o'clock
Mr. Everett entered the bar with a friend.
Hon. w. 7. Smith was standing with come
friends at the counter.
THE LAWMAKER DRUNK.
DIR. Everett was staggering drunk then.
He recognized Mr.. Smith, however. The
two men spoke and in the course of the con-
versation referred good-humoredly to the
settlement of their difference Cooper was
standing by and heard what was said. Mr..
Everett, who was leaning with his back to
the bar aud with both elbows on the rail-
ing, answered quietly. He evidently had

"Well," replied Mr.. Cooper, 81 think you

The bystanders interposed, but Cooper
was persistent, ard kept talking TO Mr..
Everett in a very offensive manner.

George Forbes said to him: Don't hit
that man,

quietly stepping toward Cooper.
Instead Of replying TO Capt. Forbes, be
laid his stick upon tho counter, and again
turned to Mr.. Everett.

as helpless as IA baby, and struck him two
or three blows. Mr.. Everett was unable TO
defend bimself and went down like a
corpse, striking tho marble floor face up

times IN the face with the heel
of his heavy shoe. Several peopls
siezed him then while others picked
up Mr.. Everett, bruised and bleeding
and almost lnsensible. Both were carried
to the station house, Mr.. Everett going
in q hack from there, after the blood was
washed from his face and Ii was ascertained

quite an athletic young tough and a notorious
