Final Development of the Pend

LOUISVILLE, June SIN view of the

retary of State Gresham that the
government of the former would en-
ter no protests against the carry
ing out by the latter of the provisions
of the Geary Chinese exclusion act, the
following letter from Sui Kno Rim to
Col Duncan, of this city, written last
Monday and received this morning, is
of national, not to say international, i'm

81 have much pleasure In acknowl-
edging the receipt of your kind letter of
the I'd instant, inclosing copy of your
letter TO the secretary of state, Hon. w.
q. Gresham, in reference 10 the Geary
act, which you condemn as unjust
and inequitable. l appreciate your
kindness very much, more especially
the justice and friendship which you
and the majority OF your people desire
to show to the Chinese. By the
cablegram lately received from
my government 1 ain instructed
to protest strongly against the
enforcement Of the act,and adopt firm
attitude in the adjustment and settle
ment of the pending difficulties. How
ever, l am glad to be able to say that
the present administration is not
pushing matters to extremes, but
Still has regard for the maintaipance of
mutual friendship, and is endeavoring
to observe the treaty stipulations of the
two nations. There is now no alterna-
tive left to me but to wait for the final
development of the pending question"

CLEANED OUT THE CAR.
Six Men Hold Up a Train In Illi-
nois Near East st.
Louis.
Passengers Not Molested, but All
the Money in the Express
Car Was Taken.

ST. LOUIS, June S.-St. Louis has
still anothsI train robbery to the
credit or discredit of its imme-
diate vicinity. At 9:30 tonight six
men held up and robbed the Mobile
& Ohio south-bound passenger which
left st. Louis at $50. The robbery
took place at Forest Lawn, small
station in Illinois below East st.
Louis, and is the same locality
where a robbery was attempted a
couple of weeks ago. Several shots
were exchanged, but it is not thought
any one was hurt. The passengers
were badly frightened. but not molested.
All the money in the express car was
taken, but it was not known how much
there was.
The point selected for the robbery is
way station without telegraph office,
so the first reports that reached st.
Louis gave very meager details OF
the affair beyond the fact that
there were six of the robbers; that
the express car had been riddled
with bullets. The first news was
brought to st. Louis about 10 O'Clock,
when Levee Commissioner Pugh, at
East Carondolet.- aud an engineer en-
tered the Carondolet police station
and gave information about the robbery,
which may throw a little light ON it.
Both claim to have been passengers on
the train. According to their stories
the train was stopped at Forest Lawn
by three men. When the train stopped
they did not know what the trouble
was until the firing commenced. Pugh,
deciding that this was another case Of
train robbery. borrowed arevolyer from
one of the passengers, stepped upon the
platform of the car he was in and opened
fire on the men who were firing
at the express car. He claims that
the train robbers, fearing that a general
attack would be made on them by the
passengers, took to their heels and dis
appeared in the underbrush. When
Pugh tried to find out from the express
messenger if anything had been stolen,
that individual refused to talk and
would not even open the door of the car.

Dull UTH, Minn., June 8.-A. Bailey,

apolis, junior member of the firm of
Barnes & Nichols, whom Mr.. Bailey
represents in Duluth, arrived in the
city last evening and expected to be
met al the depot by Mr.. Bailey, but he
was not there. Where he is is mys-
terry. His family physician informed
Mr.. Nichols that Mr.. Bailey had
acted of late as though be had
trouble on his mind, probably the
result of the depressed value Of
wheat. Mr.. Nichols sent to Minneap-
oils for an expert bookkeeper to work
over his accounts, as a matter of form,
but expects to find them all right; for
Mr.. Bailey was trusted agent of the
firm, and MI. Nichols had nothing but
good things to say Of him. Mr.. Bailey
was subject to fainting spells, and it is
feared that he has had one of his at
tacks and is lying ill somewhere. Mr..
Bailey was last seen at $50 last even
ing near his office. He has wife and
four children. His domestic life was
very pleasant. His wife Is nearly crazy
with grief.
