While Mitchell was speaking Stew
art called attention to the absence
of quorum. The roll was called sand
fifty three members responded, when
Mitchell resumed his speech. He fa-
vored free coinage, and while he
would be willing as last resort to
change the ratio to secure free coin
gaze, he believed it should be de-
creased to 1913 to /.
The senate finance committee to-
day discussed, but took no definite
action upon the resolutions of PETER
and Stewart relating to national bank
reserves and the treasury deficit.
The committee indicated its inten-
ton of making favorable report up
on the resolutions later. /.
Peffer's resolution refers to the fail
ure of the national banks to main
tain proper reserves, and Stewart S
directs the secretary of the treasury
to furnish information as to the
possibility of a deficit. There is a
more favorable disposition towards
reporting the resolutions than many,
including their movers, had supposed
they would receive at the hands of
the committee. 1t seems probable
that the resolutions may later be
favorably reported in some form.
Morgan's bill repealihg the law
providing for the redemption Of SUBJ
sidiary silver coins was also con-
sidered, but not acted upon. The
purpose of the bill is to keep the
Columbian coins in circulation.
In reply to resolution, Secretary
Carlisle sent to the senate a state
ment to the effect that during Aug
ust and the first seven days in Sep
tember his department redeemed in
silver coin $l.473,874 in treasury
notes; that only $3,607. .S15 in silver
had been coined under the law and
thar no paper money had been re-
deemed by the payment of gold since
the 4th of March, except the gold
certificates that had been cancelled.
HOUSE.
The ways and means committee
devoted the day to hearing represen-
tatives from the manufacturers club
of Philadelphia and the wooden man
ufacturers' association of the United
States against any change in the tar
iff on woollen goods.
Hepburn of Iowa asked the inn
mediate consideration of resolution
calling on the treasury to inform
congress what amount of merchan-
disc in bonds was transported from
one point in the United States to an
other through Canadian territory in
1892. Hllborn of California objected
and the matter went over.
The house decided to participate in
the ceremony OF the centennial cele
bration of the laying of the corner
stone of the capitol on the 18th inst.
and adjourned.
The house committee on election
of president and vice president and
members of congress has ordered
favorable report on the bill repeating
the federal election law. The Demo-
Gratis expect to give it exclusive at
tention in the house after Thursday.
A bitter partisan fight is expected.

EXPRESS TRAIN ROBBED.

Haul.

ments- Says the Sherman Law Must
Be Repealed and Harps on the Tariff

KENDALLvILLE, Ind, Sept. p
Another daring and successful train
robbery goes on record. The New
York express train on the Lake
Shore road which left Chicago at Z As
o'clock last night reached siding at
Kesler, five miles west of here, at
| O'Clock this morning. While ap-
preaching it Engineer Knapp noticed
red danger signal light at the switch
and stopped the train. As he did so
twenty men armed with Winchesters
sprang out of the woods and scattered
along the train, covering the train
men, while one fired at the engineer,
inhicting wound in his shoulder.
With everything in hand the rob-
bers proceeded to blow open the for
ward express car with dynamite, and
then, knocking the express mes
senger senseless, exploded five dyna-
mite cartridges in succession against
the safe before it yielded. They
helped themselves to the contents,
the whole performance occupying an
hour, when, without making any at
tempt on the other express car or in
terfering with the passengers, who
remained in the cars panic stricken,
they fired few warning shots and
disappeared in the woods.
1t is rumored that the robbers se-
cured $3.50, 900 in transit from one of
the Chicago banks to New York, but
the rumor is not yet verified.
The train came on here, and the
alarm was given. The sheriff at once
summoned posse and started III pur-
suit of the bandits.
Engineer Knapp brought the train
here, but was unable to go farther on
account of his wound. 1t is believed
he will recover.
There were two safes in the express
car-one for through matter, to which
the messenger had no key, and one
for local matter. The robbers COM
PEELED the messenger to open the
small safe, from which several thou
sand dollars in currency was taken.
They then blew open the big safe
with dynamite. In the outer com
partment was $25O,000 in gold, with
which the robbers loaded themselves,
not stopping to open the inner COM
partment, in which was lot more
money. In their haste to get away
the robbers also overlooked two gold
bars.
The train is the heaviest for ex-
press on the road, and frequently
carries 100000. 1t is believed this
fact was known to the robbers. When
they left the train they went in
southerly direction.
The point at which the robbery oc-
Cured is in a deep cut in the woods,
but all the country around is thickly
peopled, with little timber, and it is
believed impossible for the robbers
to escape.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. II. - The
United States express company has
asked Governor Mathews to offer q
reward for the robbers who held up
the Lake Shore train.
Aspecial from Waterloo, Ind, says
the robbers got 100000.

The Snarrow Declining.

News comes from Pennsylvania that
the English sparrow is retiring before
the advance of our native song birds.
AT meeting in Pittsburg Of the State
pathological association DR.. Thomas
L. Hazard read an interesting report on
the bird population of the Allegheny
parks. In 1875 the park commissioners
imported seventy-6ve sparrows from
Philadelphia, and took such good care
of them that all but three died. The
three survivors managed to escape from
the shelter provided for them, and re-
turn to their natural habits filled them
with health and vigor They began to
raise families, and IN few years there
were hordes of sparrows, while nearly
all other birds were driven out of the
parks by their pugnacious enemies.
Lately. however, the sparrows seem to
be less aggressive than they formerly
were. Last spring DR.. Hazard counted
in the parks nine robins, four orioles,
several bluebirds and other song birds.
There had been seen in the parks also
during the summer red headed wood
pecker, downy woodpecker, flicker,
yellow warblers and several other repre-
sentative birds of sweet song and bright
plumage. Another encouraging fact was
that Dr. Hazard counted during fall In
the parks five robins nests in good re-
pair and three of last years slightly
damaged, four orioles nests in good re-
pair and four not so good, as well as
eleven other nests built by desirable
birds of one sort or another. This made
a total of twenty-seven nests. whereas
two years ago he had been able to find
but two such birds nests.-Rochester

Went to Prison for Another.

Among the convicts pardoned by the
governor under the influence of Chris
tan charity was George Benz, a Sicilian,
who was sent up seven months ago for
FIVE years for stealing watch. Angelo
Milazzo, another Sicilian and chum Of
Beni's. was also suspected, but as it was
shown on the trial that Benz had pawned
the watch and he refused to inplicate
Milazzo, he had to pay the penalty. AT
the time it was whispered among the
Italians here that Benz was not guilty of
the theft, but had sacrificed himself to
save Milazzo, the real criminal, because
the latter had helpless family depend
ent upon him.
A month ago Milazzo died, and then
the whole truth came out. 1t appeared
that Benz had actually done as reported,
and after his friend Angelo was beyond
the reach of the law he acknowledged
that he was suffering wrongfully. A
petition for his pardon was Immediately
sent the governor, signed by the judge
who tried the case, together with the
story of Beni's self sacrifice, and the par
don was issued.-Memphis Cor st. Louis

The missing boat was picked up

would highly disapprove OF any
display like the one prepared for
him by his learned colleague W.

pretends to be anything, it pre-
tends to be democratic and
simple in its construction and
form. To receive the head OF
such government returning from
an excursion to a not distant part
of the country with drums and
salutes and police is simply a
niece of sublime ridicule from
which Mr.. Dole undoubtedly
will pray to be relieved that is,
if President Dole is of the same

THE BOARD OF HEALTH
HOW IT'S DONE!

We had to comment on Mr..
Lansing's suggestion few days
ago, that supplies should be fur
nished to the Leper Settlement
without bids being called for be-
cause the Board of Health would
be "hampered'' by calling for ten
ders, and we allowed ourselves to
doubt his disinterestedness. We
take it all back. It doesn't make
the slightest difference to the
Board evidently, if tenders are
advertised or not the contracts
will be given not to the lowest
bidder, but to the favorite bid
der.
A good illustration of this fact
has been shown in regard to the
granting of the contract of fur
nisbing medicine and drugs to
the Board of Health. There were
two competitors fo1 the contract.
Hollister & Co. made a bid
which was $3.50 lower than the
bid of Hebron. Newman & Co.
The contract was nevertheless
granted to the last named firm
The reason-well the less said the
better. We shall be satisfied by
calling the pubIic's attention to
the fact. that Mr.. w. o. Smith.
President of the Board of Health
and Mr.. John Ena, member of
the Board of Health are both
interested in the firm Of Hebron.
Newman & Co. But of course
that has nothing to do. with the
matter.
