WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 4. - In the
House. this morning, Holman of Indiana
moved to suspend the rules and pass a
Joint resolution extending till August 10
the suudry civil appropriation. Agreed
to. Holman then moved that the House
reconsider the vote by which it agreed to
the Senate Worlds fair appropriation
amendment, and that the bill be sent to
conference. Agreed to, 14l to 40, no one
making the point of no quorum. A long
colloduy ensued between Pickler aud
Reilly of Pennsylvania as to the terms of
the agreement on the compromise on
the Worlds fair appropriation matter,
Reilly explaining that no one was bound to
vote for the proposed reduced appropria-
ton carried by the Durborow bill, which
it is proposed to have voted on Saturday

pend the rules and adopt a resolution pro-

of a substitute for the Durborow bill,
such substitute to be considered as an
original bill. Bailey protested and said
the adoption of the resolution meant that
the treasury doors were to be opened and
an Illinois corporation permitted to take
out two and half millions. Culberson
took issue with Bailey, and Reilly's reso-
luton was agreed to, to 1S7. Then Bailey
started filibustering, but after few min
utes, receiving no backing, his work was
ended, and Reilly called up the Durborow
bill amended to provide for an appropria-
ton of 81, 10000 The bill was consid-
cred in committee of the whole. and

of the court commanding the members
and sympathizers of the Miners Union to
refrain from molesting the property of the
mine owners and the persons of their nom
union employees. After the answer of re-
spondents to the information of the federal
prosecutor had been received, attorney for
respondents moved that his clients be dis
missed for the reason that it had not been
clearly shown that they were guilty of
contempt. His motion was overruled, and
he excepted. Upon being asked if they
were guilty or not guilty, the respondents,
whose names follow, entered plea of not
guilty: K. Robinson. Joseph Davis, III.

toned within the mouth of the tunnel
were a number of Frisco guardsmen. but
he was sure they did not fire first. The
initial shot was followed by desuItory
fusilade of six or seven shots, and then
there was volley of 100 shots fred before
tie force in the mill began to reply.
Kneebone said that after the abortiye
attempt to destroy the mill by sending a
powder-laden cap down the steep tram
way back to the plant. he saw man carry
ing a powder box toward the head of the
penstock, and shortly after this an ex-
plosion occurred and the Frisco mill col
lapsed. He declared that he would know
the man who carried the powder if he
should see him again. After the explosion
Kneebone and his comrade determined to
surrender, and hung a tag of truce
In short time several hundred
armed men came down from the
hills and surrounded the mill. Most of
the mob were union miners. They COM
peiled the Frisco men to march to the
miners union hail at Gem. At the time
of the surrender he saw Thomas O'Brien,
Dan Harrington. Thomas Eaton, Thomas

Two Masked Men Sack the Express Car
and Steal Over $4,000.

FRESNO. CAL, Aug. "A train was held
up by unknown masked robbers between
Rollins and Pratton last midnight. Ii was
the south-bound night express. leaving
San Francisco ut $50 p. m. The exact
sum contained in the messengers safe has
not been ascertained, but it is thought to
have been between $50, 900 and $50, 900. Two
robbers boarded the tender as the train
was pulling out of Coils, fifteen miles
west of Fresno. They covered the engineer
and fireman with double -barreled shot
guns, and when the train passed Belinda
station the engineer was ordered to stop,
and the fireman was ordered, with
lighted cigar, TO touch off the fuse
of a dynamite cartridge which the
robbers placed on the piston of the driving
wheel on the left-hand side of the locomo-
tive. The explosion broke the piston-rod
and partially disabled the engine. They
bombarded the two doors of the express
car by exploding dynamite cartridges.
eight in all, which tore the doors into
splinters and smashed the floor of the car.
Then they boarded the express ear, and,
covering Louis Roberts. of Los Angeles,
the messenger, with shotguns, ordered him
to open Wells, Fargo IL Co. 5 safe. Roberts
did so, and they took out the sacks of coin
ana cOmrelteu tne Hrefndn To assist In car
rying the sacks for a short distance. Then
they disappeared in the darkness.
When the desperadoes exploded the first
cartridge on the engine the passengers
popped their heads out of the windows to-
see what was going on, but they drew them
back again when they heard the
ping of pistol bullets and buckshot. The
express messenger sustained a severe
scalp wound and possibly a fracture of one
of his ribs. When the door was blown
open he was hurled against the roof of the
car by the force of the explosion. The
time occupied in the work by the robbers
was about thirty minutes. The train
reached this city at 1 80 a. m. Those who
came in contact with the robbers say there
were only two men. AS soon as the news
reached Fresno Sheriff Hensley and
posse started in pursuit, but the robbers
have such a start that it is thought they
are well out of the way. Wels-Fargo's
messenger claims the amount of money
taken will not exceed SI.000.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4.-The Southern
Pacific company and the Wells, Fargo
company have offered a reward of $1,000
for information that will lead TO the ar
rest and conviction Of each of the men
who robbed the express.
