some one to come and flag the train. 1 was

compartments, the part in front of the
partition being a passenger compartment
and the rear end the baggage room. 1 was

partment with Mr.. Dorsey, the baggage
master, when heard man yell: Hold I'D
your hands
II looked through the door and saw two
men, both masked, marching the porter
down the aisle toward us. They had us
covered with pistols and OF course our
hands went up. One fellow was Dig man
weighing, I judge. about $50 pounds. He
kept us covered while his PARTNER a small
nervous fellow, went through our pockets.
The little man was evidently new at the
business. Dorsey was searched first He
had no gun and nothing taken from
them. Then they turned their attention to
me. / had no weapon. He left a $40 bill
in my vest pocket and other little articles
which / had in other pockets They then
marched us to the express car and ordered
me to open the door. / told them the door
was bolted.
Then kick it In said the big man, and
1 kicked. / was still kicking on the door
when the porter, finding himself for a mo-
ment uncovered bv le mems guns, leaFed
from the train and rushed To the rear The
two men jumped out and moment later
disappeared in the darkness"

the Englishman did a little work to show
them the fine condition he was in. The sit

WHAT CAUSES THE WORRY.
Cleveland and Gresham Engaged i'm n
Secret Consultation.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.--Grover Cleve-
land and Walter c. Gresham have spent
nearly all of the last two days and nights
behind closed doors at the White House
They were in consultation to-day. 1t is
stated that both are greatly worried over
thes situation in Hawaii. 1t was supposed
that Minister Willis had received his in
structions in time to suspend all operations
till Congress acted when news came that,
acting under original instructions, he had
precipitated a new condition of affairs 1t
is feared that he has already overstepped
authority and gotten the administration
into serious trouble. The President and
Secretary of State fear impeachment 1t
is true that the Senate is Democratic,
also the House. and that the party in pow
er would have every advantage in impeach-
ment proceedings, but with the ill feeling
engendered toward the administration
among the Democrats on the silver queS-
ton, over the tariff, income taxes, State
bank circulation and the general unpopu-
larity of the administrations position on
the Hawaiian question, an indictment could
cratic party and ruin the political hopes
of Cleveland and Gresham, if il did not
turn them out of office. If Willis has pre-
cipitated war or is the cause of bloodshed,
or in any way exceeds the Presidents
authority the Senate will at once be faced
with Impeachment proceedings, and this is
said to be the secret of the worry at the
White House and in the Department OF
State.

What the Senate May Do.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1T is barely pos
sble that the affairs of Hawaii may again
demand the attention of the Senate to the
exclusion of all other subjects for at least
a portion of the week. If The government
should fail TO give explicit denial TO the re-
port that MIR Willis has asked the Dole
government TO retire in the interest of the
Queen there are sure to be a number OF
resolutions of inquiry introduced, and sew
eral very pointed speeches may be expected.
There will Ia any event be some discus
sion Of Hawaiian affairs over Senator
Hoars resolution inquiring into the
pense and salary of Mr. Blount while on
his special mission and there Is a possi-
bility that the Frye resolution declaring
that until the congressional inquiry is COM
pleted this government should suspend all
efforts at interference IN the affairs of that
country may be called from the table.
The whole matter depends very largely
on the color of the news from the Pacific
and the attitude assumed by the admnistra-
tion. If il should become apparent that the
Auckland report was not authentic the SEN
ate would be disposed TO let the subject
alone until the committee foreign re-
lations can conclude its investigation.
