VIRGINIA DEBT QUESTION.
It May Play an Interesting Part In the
Irish Home Rule Struggle.

Irish Home Rule Struggle.
RICHMOND (Va.), May 2.-The Virginia
debt question is to play an interesting
part III the struggle now going on in Eng
land over Gladstone's home rule bill.
English Conservatives of high position
have applied to w. L. Royal for history
of the contest in the courts between the
State of Virginia and her creditors as an
object lesson to show what may take place
in Ireland under home rule. They think
it will prove that the nominal control
over Irish affairs which the bill reserves
to England will be utterly nugatory in
view of the way Virginia passed new
Acts to nullify tho effect of the decisions
of the Supreme Court of the United States
through evasions and devices, which Acts
were put in force and execution pending
the intervals for getting new decisions
from the Supreme Court. This document
is intended for the guidance of leaders in
Parliament who are opposing Gladstone's
policy. Royal prepared such history
two years ago, in which he recited all the
details of the contest. He has sent his
manuscript to the Conservatives, and it is
to be presented to Parliament at once.
Royal was, until the settlement of the
debt, resident counsel here Of British
holders OF Virginia bonds.

Kansas and Texas south-boun passen-
ger train, which left here at 4:30 this after
noon, reached Pryor Creek, six masked
men emerged from the darkness, and
after signaling the train. proceeded to
the front end. The engineer, fireman,
conductor and brakemen were quickly
covered with revolvers and marched from
the train. While two men guarded the
trainmen the other four entered the ex-
press car. They threatened the messen-
ger with pistol and knife and ordered
him to open the safe, but he refused to ac-
cede to their demands. Failing in this,
they went to the back part of the train
and relieved all the passengers of their
money and valuables. Considerable con-
sternation prevailed, and several ladies'
tainted. After deposting the money and
valuables in sacks, the bandits backed
out of the car, firing pistols into the air,
and escaped in the darkness. The
amount of booty secured is unknown,

ABSOLUTE DIVORCE IMPOSSIBLE.

in Massachusetts.
BosToN, May 2.-An absolute divorce
in Massachusetts, is legally impossible at
present, and no absolute decree can be
obtained or granted until the obstacle is
removed. This can be effected only by
recourse to either the Legislature or the
Supreme Court. The situation is due to
an Act which went into effect yesterday,
and which Judges of the Supreme Court
declare unconstitutional. 1t orders that
decree nisi, after the expiration of six
months, can be made absolute by a
decree of the clerk of court. Here is
stumbling block in legal procedure
the making of decree nisi. A decree
absolute is a judicial act. How then can
clerk whose office is entirely minis
terial, perform that act? The court will
not grant decree in the face of such Act
of the Legislature, and the clerk will not
attempt to usurp judicial powers.
