Action and VIII Fight, II Necessary,
for the Maintenance Of Republican
Rule.
TOPEKA, Kas., noon-Colonel y. F.
Hughes, commanding the Kansas
National Guard, has for the third and
last time notified Governor Lewelling
that he will not take charge of the
militia. 1t is probable that the governor
will appoint another commander.
TOPEKA, Kas., Feb. 16-At IL o'clock
last night the governor called again on
the sheriff to summon a posse to pre-
serve the peace aud the sheriff again re-
fused to obey. Colonel Hughes, who is
a member of the House, appealed before
that body in uniform lat 11.3O, and ad-
dressing the members, informed them as
commander of the troops, they had
nothing to fear from him. He would
sooner resign his command than carry
out an order to eject the Republican
House.
He told the House also that majority
Of his command would withdraw from
the militia with him if they were ord
cred to use force to drive forth the
legally. elected and legally organized
House of Representatives from the hall
provided by law for their use. He in
timated that the orders to the guard
without, so Ifar as they related to the
taking of provisions into the capitol for
the use of the Republican members, had
been relaxed, and that members could
procure provisions by letting down a
string to the ground below.
Colonel Hughes retired with cheers
and in less than minute a string was
dangling from every windoW. In shorter
time than that baskets filed with sub
stantial lunches were hoisted up and the
Republicans broke their long fast. Theil
lunch has cheered them up and has put
new life into them.
The Early-Morning Outlook.
At o'clock this morning the Republi
can House was still beseiged in Repre-
sentative hall and the force of stat
militia was still posted about the capi
tol.
Colonel Hughes has again declined Il
obey the governors order to eject tn
Republicans and the only resource thI
governor has besides the regular militil
are the three companies of provisiona
troops, composed Of Populists, who o
course sympathize with the Populists
object. They would doubtless make al
attempt to carry out an order to ejec
the Republicans. Colonel Warner, WHIT
has planned the Republican campaign
says of these provisional companies
They are the governors pet lambs. w
are wolves now and would devour then
If given the opportunity"
The outlook this morning is belligeI
ent one. The refusal of Colonel Hughe
to obey the governors order has balke
the Populist program.
The governor will make no statemen
as to his plans for the day, but it is bs
heved they include an order to the prS
visional troops to eject the Republican,
Should that attempt be made, it will b
met with armed resistance on the part {

but would it not be we'll to allow SUBJ
ordinats little discretion? Anex.
ample of the necessity for such a
privilege being allowed was furnished
by the electric car company at Tobin
Park last night. At about $50 O'Clock
quite good many of the evagelist's
auditors had become tired and wanted
to go home. They headed for San
Marcos stl eet to catch car, which
soon pulled in and stopped. In a very
few minutes it was filled to
Overlooking, but it did not
pull out. Oh, no, the
conductor said he had ord ers to re-
main there until the meeting was over
and there he staid until fully 10 min
utes after he had load. People were
standing on the street by the dozen
but they could not obtain a place
on the car. Those on the
car were anxious to get home, but
they had to stay there until another
car and trailer pulled in behind them
and then the conductor "guessed he'd
better pull out"
The Rambler dislikes to criticise
the car company, knowing what a
convenience it is to the people
of Austin and the many things they
have to contend with, but indeed me.
thinks conductors should be allowed
some little discretion in the handling
of their cars and not be held too
strictly to orders.

TRAIN ROBBERS FoILED.
They Tackled an Illinois Central Train and
Got Badly Hurt.


CENTRALIA, ILL.,, Sept. 21.-An at
tempted train robbery occurred this
morning at 1 o'clock at the coal chute
south of Centralia, Ill. The south
bound Illinois Central limited leaving
Chicago at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon and due at New Orleans at S:45
tonight, arrived at this point two hours
late. After coaling the train was about
to start when three men ordered the
train to stop. Engineer Young and
the fireman refused to obey when the
robbers opened fire, wounding Young
seriously in two places. The fireman
also received two wounds. The ex-
press car was then attacked and the
messenger and conductor of the train
calamity resisted, assisted by pas
senger named Sanders, an old brake
man of Duquoin, whose shot
CUP did splendid service, wounding
one robber fatally. The messenger
and conductor were both slightly
wounded. The gang were at length
beaten off and disappeared in the
darkness. The express car door was
perforated with bullets but the rob-
bers failed to get any booty. 1t is
said there was fully $4,000 aboard.
The wounded robber was with diff
Guilty saved from lynching but
cooler counsel prevailed. 1t is now
said that he is known as Daniel l..

Order of Railway Trainmen, issued by
one of the Chicago lodges, and he also
has switchman's card from the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe at
Kansas City. Searching parties are
now securing the country for the out
laws.
The wounded bandit was threatened
with lynching unless he made full
full confession. He gave the names of
the gang whom he claimed were
named O'Dwyer, Harding and Nichols.
He also implicated man by the name
Of Martin from Duquoin, who he
claimed was not with the gang at the
time of the robbery. ODwyer's home
Is in this city and his house
was Immediately surrounded and
his surrender demanded. His
mother refused admission to the
searching party and they kept guard
over the house until daylight, when
O'Dwyer gave himself up and is now
in Jail with Jones. One of the escaped
men was badly wounded by a shot
from Hunters gun fred into the car
when Conductor Odum was accident
ally shot. O'Dwyer is uninjured. He
is a resident of this city and bears
hard reputation. Latest reports have
it that Jones' injuries were chiefly at
the hands OF Fireman Mccullough,
who during the struggle on the engine
struck Jones on the head with a
monkeywrench, knocking the robber
clear out Of the cab.

Engineer Tanning Makes His Report on the
Condition Of Things.
The board of public works met yes
terday afternoon at the mayors office,
all the members being present. Con-
sulting Engineer Tanning was pres
emit and made the following report of
his observations of the work done at
the dam:
The Hon. Board of Public Works of Austin.
GENTL EMAN-I have just inspected
the excavation near the dam which
has been made by your engineer Mr..
q. p. Low, and find that he has made
good and satisfactory progress since
he assumed charge. The excavation
shows loose material east of the head
gates 80 feet in width and extending
from the surface soil down to a level
so feet lower than the surface of the
water in the lake. The firm rock
against which the gate masonry
abutted ceased to be solid in short
| distance east of the masonry, and the
character of the rock changed to a
loose material for the 80 feet
mentioned. 1t was necessary to cut
through all this loose material to the
stratum over which the water flowed
when it passed beyond the line of the
head gates.
At this lower depth, % feet lower
than the level OF the base of the
headgate masonry there was soft
stratum . feet in diameter. This thin,
soft stratum was secured by the How
ing water horizontally to a great
width. The scOur extended under
the firm rock beneath the headgates
aud allowed the rock to settle. This
was the cause of the crack in the
masonry. The excavation already
made has cut across and to the
bottom of the loose material above
described and the cut has heed ex-
tended 40 feet easterly into the I'M
disturbed material of the east bank
The soft, thin stratum will be further
cut by a tunnel excavation under the
standing headgate masonry extend

dam and the cutoff wall will thus De

ssBig- tailed, Sheep Of Persia.

Mr.. John W. Northrup, of the State
| Agricultural Board of California, is
making arrangements to secure con-
signment of the famous big tailed
sheep of Persia. This lot of sheep

fornia, at great expense, previous
effort to import and breed them made
| by the United States Government when
Jerry Rusk was Secretary of Agricul
ture having failed, as out of the fifteen
stbig-tails'' imported only four are
now alive.
ssThese sheep imported by Seer etary
Rusk came from Bushire, Persia, said
Mr.. Norhrup at the Gilsey House.
'sThey were shipped by Mr.. Truxton
Beale, the United States Minister, and
were treated in royal manner. From
the time that they were selected from
the great focks of 'big-tails' in the
Persian agricultural districts until
| they arrived at their final destination
in the balmy climate of California
/ they received attention similar r that
accorded 800, 900 race-horse. Only
| the handsomest and strongest animals
were selected.
sIn England the 'big-tails' were
placed aboard the Helvetia in padded
compartments kept at an even temper
ature while on the ocean. They
reached this country in safety, but in
much weakened condition.
| when they arrived in Lower Call
fornia they were SO weak it was impos-
sible for them to stand. They were
fed carefully on prepared fodder and
nursed along, but they dropped of
