TRAM ROBBERY.

-Four Kansas Farmers Go Into the Bust
ness and Repose in the Winfield Jail.
AUGUSTA. Kan, Aug. 22.-The reg
ular eastbound st Louis & San Fran
cisco passenger train was robbed a few
miles east of this city Saturday night
by four Butler county farmers The
robbers have been arrested and all of
the stolen money except q few dollars
has been recovered.
The train reached here on time, at
11:21, Saturday night Nothing unusual
occurred until 1t was passing over Wal
nut bridge. one mile east Of the depot,
sight of masked man climbing down
over the coal in the tender of his en-
CINE. The man showed a revolver in
the engineers face and commanded
him to stop the train. The fireman
was also covered with revolver
The engineer brought the train to a
stand still and confederates in the rear
uncoupled the Wells Fargo express car
The engineer was ordered to pull ahead
nearly mile and stop.
Several shots We're fired and Express
Messenger Shipp was forced to admit
the mask mened to the cars He had bar
ricaded the doors, but was without
| arms to defend himself The
robbers poured dozen shots
through the door and he had no alter
native but to submit The safe was
opened and the bandits took all the
money packages in sight which, it is
stated, did not contain more than g, 500.
The robbers then took to the woods
after ordering the engineer to back to
the rest OF the train. This was done
and the train proceeded after being de-
layed three-quarters of an hour.
There were four OF the robbers and
all of them wore masks. It is thought
one of them boarded the express car at
Augusta and that the others got on at
the Santa Fe crossing. The passengers
were not disturbed and few of them
knew what was taking place.
Conductor Akers did not give an
alarm until the train reached Beau
mont. twenty-six miles away, while he
notified Sheriff Nipp, of Cowley county,
at Winfield. The latter got out 4
special train on the Santa Fe and came
to Douglass, twelve miles east
OF here, with several deputies where he
arrested Fred Livingston, Ezra Carter,
A. a. Barley and Rollins Mofatt for
the robbery. In some manner Sheriff
Mp had learned Of the plot to rob the
train and he knew right where to pat
his hands on the robbers Immediately
after he heard the holdup had taken
place. The sheriff and his deputies
surrounded the houses of the robbers
and they were taken without n fight.
Indisputable evidences Of their guilt
were found-the masks and the money,
some of the packages not having been
opened when the arrests were made.
The robbers are now in jail at Win
field AL of them are farmers and this
is the first time any OF them have been
accused of an unlawful deed.

The Presidents Order Imposing Toll on
Vessels Passing Through the ste. Marie
Canal Bound to Canadian Ports.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The presi-
dent has proclaimed retaliation with
Canada in accordance with the author
ity conferred upon him by the ''act to
enforce reciprocity relations with Cam
ada" passed last July. His proclarla-
ton is dated August Is, but was only
issued after a final interview between
Secretary Foster and Mr.. Michael III.
Herbert, the charge d'aHaires Of the
British legation here, which took place
Saturday morning.
The presidents proclamation, after
reciting the text of the act of congress
under which it is issued. concludes as
follows.
Whereas. The government of the dominion of
Canada imposes a toll amounting to - cents
per ton all freight passing through the Wei
land canal II transit to port OF the United
States, and also 2 further toll on all vessels OF
the United States anu on all passengers in
transit to a port Of the United States, all OF
which tolls are without rebate; and,
Whereas. The government of the dominion
of Canada in accordance with an order in coun-
Gil of April 1892, refunds 1S cents per ton OF
the 81 cent toll at the Welland canal on wheat,
Indian corn peas. barley, rye, oats. faEseed
and buckwheat, upon condition that they are
originally shipped Tor ana earned 70 Montreal
for export and that If transhjppsd inter
mediate point such shipment is made within
the dominion OF Canada, but allows no rebate
on said products when shipped 20 port OF the
United States: and
Whereas, TIE government Of the Dominion
of Canada by said system OF rebate and other
wise discriminates against the citizens OF the
United States in the Of said WellaDd
canal IN violation Of the provisions of article p
of the treaty Of Washington concluded May :.
1871
Whereas, Said WellanG canal is connected
with the naviga ton Of the great lakes. and I
am satisfied that the passage through IL Of car
goes in transit to ports of the United States IS
made difficult and burdeasorne by said ciS-
eliminating system of rebate and otherwise
and is reciprocally unjust ana unreasonable
Now. therefore L Benjamin Harrison, pr=sf
dent of the United States OF America, by virtue
OF the power to that end conferred upon me by
said act of congress approved July %, 1872, do
hereby direct that from and after September 1,
1892 until further notice toll CT % cents per
ton be collected and paid on freight of whatever
kind or description passing through the Ste
dominion Of Canada, whether carried in vessels
of the United States or of other nations: AMI
to that extent do hereby suspend from ami
after said date the right of free pass through
said Ste Marie Falls canal OF any and all
goes or portions OF cargoss in transit to Cana
