Escaped from tn. r.n,..n.,.ry.

One Of the most important jail deliveries in
the history Of the Colorado penitentiary was
effected on Saturday night by James X. STRAIT
ton, the celebrated mail box robber, and John
E. Keenan,. noted highwayman, doing IL
years In the pen. The escape was effected by
saving the bars Of their cell doors, scaling
the prison walls and letting themselves down
on the outside by means Of . rope made of
their bed clothes. The escape was so we'll
planned that although the men secured their
freedom during the night their flight was not
discovered until the next morning, and by
that time not even . trace Of the course taken
by the men was to be found.
Outside aid had been furnished the men
and 1t is suspected that they were assisted by
some of the guards, for they left their prison
clothes behind them and walked away In citi-
xens' attire.
The escaped prisoners are two Of the most
desperate, determined and successful crimi-
mails that ever operated in the western coun-
try.
Ordinarily reward Of $50 is offered for
the arrest Of an escaped prisoner from tho
penitentiary, but Warden McLister has Of
fered reward Of $500 for the arrest of STRAIT
ton and 500 will be paid for the apprehcn-

ST. LOUIS, Sept 25.-The passenger

the Autumnal Festivities, which COM

until Oct. 81. The expressions of de-
light are universal, and the attractions
are even more numerous and irresisti-
BILE than in the past seasons. The
street illuminations consist OF $4,000
electric and gas lights, which are used
to the best advantage, and the down
town streets present an appearance
Of dazzling magnifcence. There arc
twelve electric arches, or panoramas,
each illuminated by upward of 1000
incandescent lights, and these are
never failing source of attraction to
the tens of thousands of people who
throng the streets on illumination
nights. One Of the most remarkable
triumphs of art over electricity is the

Of International Acti - on the
Silver Question =
A Warrington dispatch Of tho Associated
Press says:
There Is NO doubt but the In nms tions which
those senators who are neare st 10 the admin
istrati on have thrown out In he last few days
that Mr.. Cleveland will favo . ny legislation
looking to the remonetizatioL,o silver on the
lines laid down In the Chlc.ig platform are
having the effect Of bringing about better
feeling among Democratic . ,nators, says q
morning paper, and there is little doubt but
that Gie passage Of the pendin g law will be fol-
lowed by vigorous action n the part of the
administration in the direct on Of assembling
another International mop etary conference
that will meet under diier mt conditions from
those that have surrounded all previous ones.
There will not longer be he hope the United
sraies will try TO deal with tho silver question
single handed.
1t is the belief Of the, leading men in both
political parties that when the nations of the
world arc confronted. with the knowledge
that whatever IL donet to re-establish silver
must be by internati onaI agreement, there
will not be much diff Mlty In coming to such
an agreement. In the conferences that have
met heretofore, the Q .reat commercial nations
of Europe have held aloof from entering Into
any agreement becar ise of their belief that the
United States would take care of silver alone,
on account of the large production in this
country. The unconditional repeal of tho
Sherman law would disabuse their minds
of this asuse and would open up the only
avenue through which the bi-metallio stan
dard can be reached with safety.
This belief tn at the ad ministration will do
something in fav or Of international bi-metal-
liam IL tending to modify the opposition Of
many senator's . nd make the early passage Of
the bill more b opeful than 1t would other
wise be. There Is also movement on foot
looking to the exclusion Of all compromise
propositions.
1t Is urged that II the bill is to have the
greatest effect from an International stand
point, 1t must be for the unconditional repeal
of the silver-purchasing law, so A. to give
notice to all the world that the United States
is no longer in the market a. a purchaser Of
silver bullion. Any sort of a compromise
bill whereby the United States is put in the
position Of continuing the purchase of silver,
even though 1t be for . limited time only,
would not have a. great effect on the Euro
pean nations law stopping tho purchase At
once.

tional Republican support for tho compro-
mise. Tho Faulkner amendment will in all
probability be adopted. The anti-silver men
claim 1t 10 acceptable to them, since by pro-
viding that the coinage of silver shall not sx-
