CENTRALIA TRAIN ROBBERS.
Hardin Makes Full Confession to the
Officers.

CENTRALIA (Ill.), Oct. 1.-Hardin, the
last of the Centralia gang of train-robbers,
who was captured Friday night in Gin
cinnati. was taken from Detective Smith
at Odin this afternoon by Sheriff Holm
on State warrant while being conveyed
to st. Louis on the Chicago and Missouri
train. The detective was unwilling to
surrender his prisoner, but had no paper
on which to hold him, and he was con-
veyed to Salem Jail, where his pals. Jones
and O'Dwyer, are confined. While the
officers were disputing over the posses
sion OF the prisoner someone reported in
the hearing of Hardin the news that his
detention in Odin had been telegraphed
to Centralia, and that 300 railroad men
were en- route to Odin on special train
to lynch him. This completely unnerved
the bandit. and he begged the officers to
hurry him off to Jail. He then made
full confession of the robbery.
There were three of us implicated
Jones, O'Dwyer and myself" he said.
''The robbery was planned at 1913 Chou
teau avenue, st. Louis, over three months
ago. Jones was too drunk to play his
part well. He held up the engineer and
fireman before ODwyer and 1 were
ready to attack the car and our
plans were thrown into confusion. When
we entered the baggage car found N.Y.
self in the grasp of Baggageman Arm
strong. l saw man coming into the car
with gun and supposed we had been
trapped. From that moment my sole
object was to get out of the car. / en-
deavored to keep Armstrong between
myself and the shotgun, and did so pretty
successfully until / impulsively reached
for the bell cord to stop the train, 1t was
then Saunders shot me in the arm. The

/ managed to jump out at the east door,
ODwyer was few feet ahead of me and
we landed outside at about the same
time. We ran until we reached O'Dwyer's
house, where we stopped, and / passed
on a circuitous route until l returned to
the Illinois Central track, nearly mile
from where we held up the train. My
arm panied me fearfully and I crawled
into culvert and laid down.
"While lay there a wild engine bound
for st. Louis on the air line pulled up to
the depot and stopped. While the engi-
neer and fireman were in the telegraph
office | crawled out and secreted myself
on the engine, on which l rode into st.
Louis. l went directly to Mrs. Kays at
about o'clock on the morning after the
robbery. / kept myself secreted during
the day in the vicinity of the relay depot
in East St. Louis, and at P. NJ. on Sep
tember 2lst / boarded an O. and NJ train
and rode to Cincinnati No one on the
train suspected me. / have friends in
Cincinnati, and 1 went directly to the
City Hospital after resting up a little and
had my arm dressed. 1 registered under
the name of Kay. / had been reading
the papers regularly. and had supposed
the detectives were searching for me in
Missouri and Indiana. 1t was this that
caused me to be off my guard when I was
arrested. / think it was description of

Dominion to induce the Government
to impose further restrictions on Chinese
immigration. The Government has Just
passed an order in the Council which
practically settles its policy in this re-
gard. The order, after reciting the cir
cumstances which called it forth, men
toned it as impossible to take any action
infringing treaty rights, says: I'm view
of the commercial relation of Canada
with China. it is not expedient to change
the provisions of the Chinese 1mmigra-
ton Act. nor take any action that might
be considered by the Chinese Govern
ment as invasion of the spirit of treaty
obligations or as unfriendly act. 1t is
deemed impoIitic and unnecessary to
recommend the alternative expedient of
raising the tax to $500. The suggestion
that every Chinaman or woman in Can
ada be taxed to the amount OF 500 year,
and said tax be paid into the treasury OF
the municipality or city in which they
may be found is question for considera-

POSSIBILITY OF A DISPOSITION OF
THE REPEAL BILL
The Final Settlement of the Dispute
at-The Latter Government Accepts
the New Treaty Presented by
Vfllters, Special Envoy of the French
Government to Siam.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The outlook for
the coming week in the Senate is very
uncertain. 1t may prove week of sur
prises, and there is possibility of reach
ing an agreement whereby the repeal bill
will be definitely and finally disposed OF.
But the indications are that there will be
no agreement until it becomes evident
to all that the bill cannot be passed or de-
teated in its present shape. There is only
one formal notice of a speech, by Senator
Call, for tomorrow. Power and Dubois
have privately expressed their intention
to talk during the week, and Teller and
Morgan will probably finish the speeches
begun by them last week. Senator Jones
OF Nevada is known to be preparing q
very exhaustive treatise upon the silver
question. He will probably consume a
larger part of two or three days. The
specter OF night sessions has again been
laid. The truce limiting the time for de-
bate to seven hours per day expires by
Limitation to" morrow, but VOORHEES, said
yesterday he would make no etfor: TO
terminate it. Democratic Senators who
are not especially identified with the Ad-
ministration are still engaged in an effort
promise measure, but are not making
progress. The Republican Senators who
advocate the repeal have dropped out of
the negotiations for the present. 1t may
be stated almost definitely that there will
be no compromise upon the basis sug-
geSted on Friday last.
Debate on the Tucker bill will con-
sumo the entire time of the House for the
coming week, except such unimportant
matters as may come up in the morning
hour. Voting will not begin under order
until October 10th. The Foreign Affairs
Committee expects to complete its consid-
Grafton of and report the McCreary
substitute for the Everett bill, extending
the time for registration of Chinese, this
week.
The Senate Committee on Public Lands
has instructed Senator Dubois to report
an omnibus bill for mum Der of bills in
troduced from the mineral lands States to
aid in the establishment of Schools of
Mines. The bill provides that out of the
sale of mineral lands in the States of CAL
ifornia, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Washing
ton, Montana, South Dakota and Wyo-
ming, there shall be paid sum not to
exceed 1000 for School of Mines, if the
State will expend like amount for the
same purpose.
The following printed circular was re-
ceived by every Representative, Senator
and public official in Washington to-day:
There is time in the affairs of men
when patience ceases to be virtue.
Down with the United States Senate, the
enemies of the people," Although no
skull and cross-bones headed the circu-
lar, the words were printed in large,
black, ominous looking type. The letters
containing the circulars were postmarked

Veteran Firemen's Association were in
Jersey City when the special train with
the pilgrims of the Veteran Firemen's
Association of San Francisco rolled into

She May Withdraw Her Military At
taches From France.
BERLIN, Oct. LIT is claimed that the
military attaches of the Driebund have
been shown the cold shoulder by French
officers, and as a retaliatory measure the
authorities here propose to Withdraw all
'erman military attaches from France
in order to force the French Government
to withdraw her military attaches from
Germany, Austria and Italy, who, they
claim, are acting as spies. There are
people, however, who claim that the agi-
tation is the work of the military party
in Germany, who anticipate opposition
in Parliament to the demand which will
be made for an increase in the army and
navy expenditures.
In the meanwhile the arming of legions
in Europe continues, and the day of gen.
eral conflagration seems to be approach
ing more rapidly day by day. In fact,
there arc people here who hint that there
may be serious riots in Paris and else
where in France upon the occasion Of the
visit of the Russian fleet to TOulon, for it
is claimed that the "firecracker party" =
France is almost certain to make the
Russian visit the occasion for demon
stration against Germans and Italians,
which country the extra demonstrative
class of Frenchmen claim to have a we'll
founded cause for resentment.
The Russian Government has antici-
pated those possible riotous demon
strations for some time past, and it is
with the object of trying to prevent them
that the Gar and ambassador in Paris
have been throwing cold water upon in
fiammatory France, and warning Presi-
dent Carnot and his advisers against the
danger of being too demonstrative. How
ever, all the warnings in the world will not
prevent the French from making tre-
mendous fuss over the Russian visit, and
no amount of argument will convince the
French people as whole that the visit of
turn visit, out of common courtesy, for
the visit of the French fleet to Cronstadt.

addressed large meeting to-day at
Ballymore. He said the subject of the
Paris funds was thrust before the public
within the last ten days. He was always
opposed TO public discussion on the sub
ject, because it interfered with the collec-
tions of funds for the Irish cause in
America and Australia. Ii differences of
opinion existed as to the details and
policy, as they must exist, they ought
never to go beyond the room where the

General Strike Imminent.

MEMPHIS (Tenn.), Oct. 1.-The crisis in
the railroad situation here seems to have
arrived, and general strike and perhaps
a tie-up is imminent. Twenty men in the
yards of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
went on strike in resistance of a reduc-
ton Of salaries. The men in the Yazoo
IL Mississippi Valley and Illinois Central
yards refused to handle Chesapeake u
Ohio cars, and they were promptly dis
missed. 1t is expected general strike or
lockout, or both, will result, as the rail-
road officials seem firm and determined.

MANCHESTER, Oct. IA very lively
and interesting fight between number
of English anarchists and police took
place here to-day. The police have long
been aware that anarchists had formed q
group in this city and were holding
meetings for long time. The anarchists
kept within the bounds of law and order,
in so far as they claimed to be simply
honest workingmen meeting to discuss
politics from their own standpoint. The
discovery of the anarchists plot at Vienna
and the attempt to kill General Martinez
Campos seems to have aroused them to a
pitch of unusual excitement, for they
commenced making things very disagree
able for residents of the neighborhood of
the meeting place. This gave the police
the desired opportunity, and raid upon
the assembly rooms of the REDS" was
made to-day. The raid was resisted
fiercely by the anarchists. They seized
chairs and other pieces of furniture and
defended themselves desperately. The
police drew batons, and a rough and
tumble fight took place. During the
battle three anarchists were so severely
injured that they were taken TO the hos
pital, and a number on both sides re-
ceived more or less serious wounds.
Several of the most desperate anarchists
were taken into custody. Others man
aged to escape through windows.
VIENNA ANARCHISTS.
LONDON, Oct. IA special to the NeaUS
from Vienna says the examination of the
twelve anarchists recently arrested in
connection with the plot to blow up the
houses Of Parliament had most surpris-
ing results. Facts in possession of the
police cannot yet be published, as the
prime mover in the conspiracy has not
yet been arrested. The police have estab-
lished proof beyond doubt that the men
in custody are only tools of an agitator,
believed to be foreigner, and his dupes
do not know much about him or the spot
where he can be found.

Postoff1ce Receipts Show a Large FALL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Marsnal Cush-
ing's newspapaper The Capital, has this:
An annual increase from to 10 per cent.
in the gross receipts of the Postoffice De-
partment is usually counted upon. In
the month of June the department
showed an increase in gross receipts of a
little over s per cent. In July the increase
was only little more than 3 per cent. In
August there was an actual falling off of
per cent. as compared with the receipts
of August year ago. This means SIM
ply that the general business of the coun-
try has fallen off as indicated by these
figures, and the deficit in the postal reve-
nues is likely to be not 81, ,000, 900 or S., ,000,
