Some Information of Interest to the
Boys in Blue.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The prepare
tions for the coming reunion of the Army
of the Cumberland at Chattanooga, Sept.
Is, l6 and IL next, have brought out some
information of interest to all veterans. AS
one example it is found that there are
twenty-one thousand surviving officers
and non-commissioned officers of the two
hundred and siXty-five regiments and bat
teries which served in that army. The
names and present posto flee addresses of
this whole number have been secured aid
invitations to the reunion sent to each.
Besides these, several thousand invita-
tons have been sent out under the direc-
ton of General Rosecrans, the president
of the society.
Wilder Brisade's Monument.
The information received by General
Rosecrans indicates that the Chattanooga
reunion will be one of the largest army
gatherings of recent years. The brigade
of General Wilder alone will have l, 200 of
its former members in attendance to lay
the cornerstone of its monument in the
Chickamauga National park. General
Grant, the acting secretary of war, has
approved as the location of this monument
a point fifty feet south of the Widow
Glenn's house, which was General Ro :,
Grams headquarters on the field. This i'm
posing structure will be ITO feet high and
will cost $50. 600
Entertainm emit and Subsistence.
All public associations of Chattanooga
have united to assist in receiving the vet
Grams. These include the city authorities,
chamber of commerce the board of trade,
the Confederate veterans, and a large and
influential local committee. Most rea-
sonaDie hotel and boarding rates have
been obtained General Alger the regu-
lar orator, being unexpectedly prevented
from attending the annual GRAFTON will be
delivered by his alternate, General II. V.
Boynton. The reunion will close in ample
time to allow the participants TO attend
the encampment at Washington.

British legation which had been led TO
promise early and satisfactory informa-
ton, but from the United States consul
general at Ottawa
Left Him i'm the Dark.
When Herbert journeyed post haste
from Newport TO Washington Saturday,
and was asked by Secretary Foster wheth-
er the information conveyed by the United
States consul general WAS true, he was
obliged to confess that the Canadian gov
eminent had left him absolutely in the
dark; that he had no official communion
ton TO make, although he did not ques-
ton the trui II of the consul generals dis
patch. 1t is surmised that Gladstone's
government and the new colonial secre-
tary will not let this apparent gross Cis-
courtesy on the part of the Canadian pow
ers to the British representatives pass
without a fitting rebuke.
'while the Lamp Holds Out to Burn"
When the charge d'affaires admitted
that he had no official communication to
make Secretary Foster said that under the
circumstances the president considered it
his duty To- issue the proclamation con-
templated by the act of congress. But he
gave Herbert the assurance that should
the Canadian government give notice of
its decision to abolish the discrimination
now complained of the proclamation
would be suspended concurrently with
such abolition.

How 1t Strikes Canada.

OTTAWA, Ont. Aug. 22--President Har-
rison's proclamation against Canada is
the sole topic of conversation here. The
move was entirely unexpected and will
likely necessitate the early meeting of the
cabinet. Will Canada back down. This
is the question every body is asking at the
hotels, on the streets and at the clubs.
Although no official opinion can be
learned owing to the absence of the
various ministers from the city there is n
general impression that the Dominion Gov
eminent, having taken action by declining
to abolish the rebate of canal tolls until
the end of the season, will not humiliate
itself by a complete back down. IN
successful in the reciprocity negotiations
at Washington, it will be unwilling to
adopt any course which, while repugnant
to the people, won d assist the Republi-
cans in the presidential campaign. Work
on the new Canadian canal at the $500"
will be pushed forward day and night,
but year will elapse in any event before
IL can be completed.

TURNED OUT TO HEAR TALMAGE.
About the Whole Population of Birming-
ham, England.


LONDON, Aug 22.-Dr. Talmage adj
dressed an audience of 5000 last evening
in the town hall at Birmingham. 1t was
the largest religious meeting ever held il
the city. An immense crowd gathered
outside the hall, nable to gain admission.
After an address lasting fifteen minutes
to the audience inside the hall Talmage
spoke outside to unnumbered multi
tude. The pressure of the crowd was so
great that the carriage from which the
preacher spoke was almost crushed under
him. After he had extricated himself
from the throng and had been driven
nearly to his hotel Talmage ordered the
driver to turn back.
Had Lock Out tho Crowd.
On arriving at the town hall again he
delivered another address on the opposite
side of the building SO that those who had
been unable to hear the previous Grafton
could listen to his words. He then went
to mis- hotel, where the doors had to be
locked to keep out the crowd who tried to
force their way in to greet or See the popu-
lar American divine. During the meeting
in the town hall 5000 persons stood up
and asked for prayers, and a collection for
the Russian famine sufferers was taken.

WICHITA. Kan, Aug. 22-The ST Louis
and San Francisco eastbound passenger
train which left here at 1890 o'clock Sat
ur,iay night was robbed by four masked
men two miles west of Augusta, in Butler
county. about midnight. The robbers
were four farmers-Fred Livingston, Ezra
Carter, A. A. Bailey, and Rollin Moffat.
The amount they secured is placed by the
officials at 5000 All four are now in Jail
at Douglass. having been captured soon
after the commission of the crime.
Acted Like Professionals.
As the train slowed up at the Santa Fe
crossing about mile east of Augusta two
masked men mounted the locomotive
from either side and covering the engineer
and fireman with guns ordered them to
stop the train. When the train came to a
standstill two other members of the
gang, who were on the train, started to
uncouple the express car and soon as
this done the engineer was forced to
pull out with the car about mile distant
from the rest of the train.
Perforated the Express Car.
While two of the robbers watched the
crew of the locomotive the others went to
the express car door, demanded admit
lance, and commenced shooting through
the sides OF the car in which were Express
Messenger Ship and a baggageman. The
imprisoned men soon gave in. Ship was
forced to open his safe and the robbers
ransacked everything. The robbers then
ordered the engineer 20 go ahead.
Blunder of the Conductor.
And right here the conductor made a
mistake that would have resulted in the
robbers getting away if they had been
sharp. II event on to Beaumont, twenty-six
miles away, instead of hacking TO Augusta,
only short distance, before he reported
the robbery. The robbery was committed
10y four farmers living in the vicinity OF
Douglas, Butter county, and it seems was
expected.
Was as Good as His Name.
Sher if Nipp, of Cowley county, was in
formed that such a scheme was on foot by
a fifth member of the gang early in the
week and while he could not discover eX-
actly when the robbery was to take place
he had posse in waiting and as soon as
he got wind of the hold-up he bounced on
the outlaws. The robbers made one big
mistake. They held up the wrong train.
If they had taken the west-bound train
they would have gotten whole lot more
