Railroad.

night. as the south-bound Frisco train
was pulling out of Butterfield it was
noticed that one of the lanterns had

him that on that morning thirteen
men armed to the teeth had been seen
between Sloan Springs and Benton

EXPRESS OFFICE ROBBED
And Fourteen or Fifteen Thousand Dollars
Taken.


THE DALLEs, Ore, Oct. 16-The Pa
cific express office in this city was
robbed Sunday morning at an early
hour of S14 900 or $4,000. The money
taken was sent from Portland and ar
rived Saturday night. f. \. Hill, eX-
press agent. and two officers took
charge Of the money as soon as it ar
rived, taking it to the express office.
Details of the robbery are meager.
The express agent and marshal have
positive instructions to disclose none of
the particulars. They are searching
the ighborhood, and apparently sus-
pect local people of the robbery.
probable clew4 to the robbers is
that they came on the train with the
treasure. box and knew where it was
consigned and its contents.
The company's driver sleeps in the
express Office, but on the night of the
robbery he was attending a ball and
did not return until j o'clock. The
robbery was evidently committed be-
sween 1870 and 1870 while the driver
was absent, which leads the officials to
believe that it was done by local per-
sons. although there are number of
FOUNDERS in town who have been in at
tendance at the fair.
Telegrams have been sent out in all
directions, but nc description can be
given of the robbers.

THE JAPANESE LEGISLATURE
Convoked in Extra Session to Discuss Inn
portant Matters.

LONDON, Oct. 16.-A rescsipt was is
sued convoking an extra session Of the
japanese parliament at Hiroschima for
yesterday, to continue for seven days
in order to discuss matters requiring
the sanction of parliament. While the
liberal party is in the majority, all fac
tions are uniting to press the war to
successful conclusion.
When the last japanese parliament
dissolved the leaders of the different
parties were at swords points, but in
the presence of war with a power of
China's magnitude, involving the su-
premacy Of the Orient. the Old personal
feuds have been set aside, and efforts
are being made TO have all fs ctions rep
resented through their leaders in the
new japanese cabinet.
To this end it is being urged that
Count Chuma, Count ltagaki. Count
Matsukata and Viscount Shinagawa
shall be members of the new cabinet,
although they have been among the
most active leaders against the gov
ernment There are no cabinet port
folios vacant. yet so strong is the feel
ing for political union during this
emergency that it is proposed to create
new cabinet officers in order TO get
their cooperation.

The CARS ILLNESS

Said to Have Been Caused by Scientific
Means-His Death viii be an Unnatural
One-The Greek Church Anxious for the
Succession of the Cars Second Son,
Who Is a Good Soldier, but A Dangerous
Man.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Oct. 16.-Dr.
George Fr. Y. Schmidt, an officer in the
Prussian army, now travelling on leave,
yesterday made public in an afternoon
paper letter received from friend in
st. Petersburg. These dispatches were
written in sympathetic ink on appa-
rently blank piece of paper in order
that they might be conveyed out of
Russia. The most sensational matter
in the dispatch is the intimation that
the czar's illness has been caused by
other than natural means. The doctor
translated the dispatch as follows:
''The czar is lying at the peint of
death. The excitement of the highest
circles in Russia is simply tremendous.
1t is understood in a wide circle in
Russia that the czar's sickness was
brought about by scientific means, and
that his death will not be natural
one. 1t is on account of this that tie
journals contradict the fact of the
czar's sickness. There is party that
wants to set the cZarowitz on the
throne. The czarowitz is of cranky,
melancholy nature. is inclined to insti-
tute the most radical reforms through
out Russia. and has already made plans
for such actions. He is very much
hated by the clergy.
''The patriarch of Moscow, who is at
the head of the Greek church, has trav-
eled about with the czar in order to
persuade him to put his second son on
the throne instead of the czarowitz.
AS this second son is very hot-headed,
he is sure not to remain long on the
throne without becoming seriously in
volved in state troubles. He is fine
soldier, fond of fight, martial
fellow and very ambitious. He is an
enemy of England, of Germany and,
above all, of America. He not only in
tends to increase the size of Asiatic
Russia, but also to attempt the tre-
mendous task of bridging the Behring
straits and extending his empire in the
direction of America. This prince is
by all odds one of the greatest gen.
erals in Russia, having been with
Gourka and Timaschieff, and having
studied with the latter

1eSlslature-Labor Members Suspended,
Etc.
VANCOUVER, B. G.. Oct 16-The
steamer Arawa. which has arrived
from Australia, FIJI and Hawaii brings
the following advices from the an
tipodes:
The New South Wales legislature has
passed resolution by an overwhelm-
ing majority in favor of extending the
franchise to women. Notice has also
been given by Sir Henry Parker that
on November 13 the following motion
will be made;
That in view of the rapid growth of
Australia in the elements of national
life, and the number of questions aris-
ing out of that growth, which can be
only dealtwith adequately by a nation
al legislature, it is in the highest sense
desira bic that parliament, without loss
OF time, should resume the considera-
ton OF the federation of these colonies
under one national government"
The New Zealand government pro-
poses what is called the cheap-money
scheme. which briefly means that the
government shall borrow 81, 500, 900 in
London every year for advances to
farmers at the rate of per cent The
scheme limits advances on freeholds to
two-thlrds OF their value, and on leases
to half of the lessees interest.
The New Zealand parliamentary tariff
committee has reported strongly in IA
vor of reciprocal Australian tariffs, but
recommends delay until a royal com
mission has been appointed to collect
information bearing upon the matter.
The trouble between the pastoralists
and the sheepshearers in Queensland
was still far from settlement when the
Arawa left.
In the Legislative assembly on Sep
tember =, during discussion in COM
mlttee of the peace preservation bill,
introduced by the government to put
down the lawless outbreak occasioned
by the strike, a great scene of confu-
sion occurred, ending in the suspension
of seven labor members. Mr.. Classy
appealed to the government to appoint
Cancellation committee, with the OBJ
ject of endeavoring to settle the
strike. The government was willing
to accept several amendments from the
opposition if the first six clauses of the
bill were allowed to stand. Mr.. Glas-
sey would not accept line of the bill
and absolute disorder ensued. Sew
eral mbers asked to be allowed to
make an explanation, but the chair
man threatened to name all. Nearly
all the labor members rose to their
feet and general disorder ensued,
amidst cheers and cries of ''the brutal
government" etc.
When order was restored the premier
moved that the chairman leave the
chair and report no progress. Before
the chairman could put the motion
several members who had become OBJ
streperous were removed.
Finally the house adjourned until
the next day amidst the greatest up
roar.
