mon. The imperial family is, of course, ex-
empted from it.

A PLAUSIBLE STATEMENT
has been published defending on q novel
ground the Russian persecution of the
Jews. 1t is to the effect that at the rate Of
increase of Jewish families compared with
the increase Of Russians proper, the empire
in the course of Il few generations would be
mainly Jewish, and the orthodox subjects of
the car would be in hopeless minority.
a St. Petersburg letter says that the
officials are making most absurd excuses
everywhere for the persecution OF the Jews.
One of the reports started at Kief was that
there had been mysterious disappearance
OF several Russian children, and that the
children We're kidnapped by the Jews for the
purpose of sacrifice. It was even alleged
that the calcined bones Of victim had been
found. The stories were readily be-
lieved by the more ignorant
and had much to do with the cruel treat
ment of emigrant Jews by the pOpulace.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
HOLD-UP IN THE 3. 1T.
The Express Messenger Had Plenty of
Time and Presence OF Mind to Hide
the Money-On the Trail.

KANSAS, CITY, Mo-, May 10.-A special
from Guthrie, o. T., says the skill with
which the Wells, Fargo Il Co.'S express
car on the Sante F'e train was robbed last
night was only excelled by the skill with
which the express messenger guarded the
property in his car from the bandits.
When the robbers boarded the tram at
Of the door of his car, and, seeing
what was going on, immedi-
ately apprehended danger He closed
and locked his door and then commenced to
hide the money and valuables in his keeping
in places of safety where they would es-
cape detection by the robbers. While the
bandits were detaching the engine and ex-
press car from the rest of the train and
were running it to the place where the rob-
berry occurred, two miles distant, the mes
senger disposed of most of the valuabies in
places of safety. Then he locked the safe
When the robbers appeared at the door of
the express car he made show
of resistance, but finally admitted
them. They Immediately made
for the safe and demanded that it be
opened. With feigned reluctance the mes
senger opened it, and at the command
of the leader handed over the con-
tents, among which was pack
age of worthless papers which he
told the robbers was a valuable package of
money. NOSU OIL the money mad Oeen
hidden in the stove, which was not being
used for its legitimate purpose. In the
search which the robbers made of the car,
they overlooked that hidingplsce, but
tumbled upon package of $500, which
they secured. Finding nothing more of
value, they made their escape.
\ dispatch from Topeka says: An Of
fetal report of the robbery has been made
to the headquarters of the Santa Fe
railway. The details made public
are very meager, but comedies
with the report from Guthrie.
The amount secured by the robbers is given
out by the Santa F'e as $500. a large force
of United States deputy marshals was or
ganized at Guthrie last night as soon as the
news of the robbery had been received, and
pursuit of the robbers was Immediately be-
gun. 1t is believed that the robbers
are hiding at Turkey Creek, I T., whittier
the posse is now making its way. There
seems to be no doubt that the bandits were
the notorious Dalton boys. They are
desperate set of outlaws.

Special to the Gazette
LONDON, May I0.-Thirty-eight suffrage
meetings were held to-day in Brussels and
other cities OF Belgium and the attendance
Numbered hundreds of thousands. Many
- the speeches made were of the most vio-
lent character, the speakers urging that the
working people must at any hazard assert
their right to a share in the govern
ment. The upper classes We're warned that
their oligarchy was approaching q close
and that nothing short of universal suffrage
promptly granted would be likely to avert 4
revolutions A Socialist orator at Brussels
asserted that the day was not far dist mt
when royalty would be brought down rs it
has been brought down by the French revo-
luton, and that the bayoDetS employed to
prop up thrones would be turned against
those who sat upon the thrones. These
utterfhces were enthusiastically applauded.
At Client. where the suffrage movement
has heretofore been comparatively IN
demonstrative, the people assembled in
thousands and in such threatening manner
as to call for the interference of the mil
itary and police to prevent rioting. In
Antwerp, Client, Liege and Charleroi as
well as Brussels the garrisons were kept
ready for instant service and
the police were reinforced by the
assembled us on May day, but
without any serious exhibition of violence.
The utmost anxiety is felt by the authori-
ties for the future. and it is said that both
the king and cabinet favor ample conce5-
sions on the suffrage issue as means Of
pacifying the working classes. The majority
of parliament is, however. still stubbornly
opposed to the surrender of the powers and
privileges which the upper orders
in Belgium have so long possessed ex-
clusively, and the farthest they are willing
to go is to place suffrage within the reach
of the lesser taxpayers. still excluding the
vast majority OF worklngmen.
In England and Germany the situation is
viewed with equal anxiety, as it is felt that
the agitation is favorable to France and
that the socialist element would rise en-
masse in hehalf of France in the event of
war.

alent system for dynamite was then not
invented-assassina or any other
outrageous method was utterly for
eign to the plan and repug-
nant to every prominent man in it. The
later partial adoption of such means
has been source of grief to Stephens
and everyone of those who were nearly
associated with him, except of course
O'Donovan Rosa. Even Judge Keogh,
who assuredly never spared an Irish
revolutiohist, did the Fenians the
justice of expressly acquitting them of
any design not within the scope of fair
war.
STEPHENS originally bargained with
his American allies to enroll 10, 900 men
in Ireland When the government as
sailed the conspiracy in 1865, it is esti-
mated that there were at least sc, 900
sworn Fenians in Ireland, and as many
more in the Irish colonies in England
and Scotland. In its strongest period,
the American body certainly embraced
100. 900 and perhaps 10000 men. One
of the most formidable features OF
Fenianism was the hold it had on the
British army. In almost every regiment
stationed in Ireland, there were Fenian
adherents, ready to hamper the govern
ment forces in the hour of insurrection.
Well, the crash came in September,
1865. It was largely caused by man
whom Stephens picked out for a conf

ton at that time; the narne originated,
I think, in America and only became
current in Ireland after the arrests in
1865. The organization was the same
throughout, however, with the same
structure and the same leaders. Steph-
ems had had some encouragement and
about 800 in cash from O'Mahoney, De-
heny and others in New York before
making his start. but finding that the
promised support was slow he visited
this country toward the close of 1858,
and finding no definite organization
here, created one, thus becoming the
founder Of American as well as Irish
Fenianism.
The plan and purpose of the Fenian
conspiracy was to organize and arm the
patriotic element of the Irish people to
revolt against English rule and win the
independence of the country in fair
fight. It is impossible to insist too
much that dynamiting- or any equiv

dictation in political matters. 1t paved
the way for everything that has since
developed In Irish history. Therefore,
perhaps, the very failure of its own do,
ings made it the more advantageous to
the people. The history of Fenianism
will have to be written in years to come,

KIDNAPPED HIS DAUGHTER.
DIR. Barnes of New York Suspected OF
AbductinG His Own Child.

DIR. EarDes of New York Suspected of
AbductinG His Own Child.
ROUND LAKE, N. Y, Oct. 24.-The
sixteen M onth-old daughter of Mrs.
Matte Barnes, who was stolen from
the cottage of her father. Rev I. G..
Fenton, Thursday, has not yet been
found, although every possible effort has
been made. The affair has created a
great sensation here.
Mrs. Barnes had separated from her
husband, DR.. c. A. Barnes of New York
city, and as he had endeavored to retain
possession of the child, he is supposed to
have taken this method of obtaining
her, either in person or through a con-
federate.
Both he and son by former mar
riage had been here a few days pre-
vious to the kidnapping, but neither of
them was seen on the day the child was
taken
Mr.. Fenton's cottage was entered
through a rear window while the family
were at tea, and the child was taken
from the bed where it was sleeping.
Mrs. Barnes was taking steps to secure

grounds that the doctor had six other

ness-unless it is to have late renewal
now-for a score of years, and has
lived to see himself drop into the
historic past tense, and be dealt with
by his critics in very pitiless way. He
started in life with no advantages
whatever. He displayed marvellous
powers of organization and propa-
gandis1n. His machine constructed, he
lacked the courage either to set it in
operation or to share the penalties OF
it's collapse. In this failure all the
greatness of his work has been swal-
lowed up.
Stephens started in life as clerk in
the office, in Tipperary, of Dargan, the
railway contractor, who built most of
the roads in the south of Ireland. He
took to the ''hillside'' in '4S, and in q
skirmish at Killenaul showed great
personal bravery and some qualities of
leadership. He was wounded. and in
company with Col Michael Doheny,
whom the older members of the New
York bar and the New York National
guard well remember, he was q fugi-
tive for several weeks lurking in bogs
and woods until an English lady, Mrs.
Washington Downing, aided him to es-
cape to the continent. 1t is said he
travelled with her, disguised as her
maid.
Reaching Paris, he spent months
there in great poverty. John O'Maho-
ney, so long prominent in America, as
the American head of Fenianism, was
| also refugee there. O'Mahoney got
money from home and came to Amer
| lea, but Stephens picked up French
very fast, and began to make money by
giving English lessons. His knowledge
| of French became in time extraofdi-
| nary.
A good deal of his career in Paris was
romantic enough. A countess-Polish,
believe-fgured in it. But in 1855 he
returned to Ireland, and there he soon
was in receipt of very comfortable in

1856 he and my father Thomas

they two were the original Fenians.

Patricks day, 1885, My father, at
Stephens request, drafted a form of
oath or obligation. He swore in
Stephens and Stephens swore him IN.
