The Wilmington Journal very perth
nently remarks:
The Enquirer has been engaged for a
week or two now in an effort to stir up
trouble in the Republican party. Day
after day it devotes column after column
to an alleged row in the Republican
camp among so called factions and is
strenuously endeavoring to have Cover.
nor Mckinley become a candidate for
Senator as against Governor Foraker.
Its object is 80 plain that these efforts
are silly. Governor Foraker few days
ago stated to it that he had no candidacy
for the Senate, and since then it has
been ringing the changes on his words,
endeavoring to make it appear that he
had Withdrawn" and calling on Nc
Kinley to enter the field. Foraker spoke
truly, for there is no candidate for the
Senate now. A candidacy at this time
would be foolish, for there will be no
election for over year, and the men
who will then vote will not even be
nominated for months to come. The
Enquirer is making fool of itself. For.
aker does not need to be candidate.
When the proper time comes the Re-
pulican members OF the next General
Assembly will elect him in response to
the demand Of the people, and he will
accept. That is all there is of it and the
Enquirer knows it.

A Strange Manifestation.

In Ports mouth, u few weeks ago. Miss
Bertha Wright, bright and amiable
young lady, was burned to death by the
fall and explosion OF hanging lamp.
A few days since, the parents were as.
tonished at the entrance of strange
bird with beautiful plumages such as
they had never seen before. Several
times it circled around the spot where
the fatal lamp had hung, then flew to
the picture oil a,cross and crown, on the
frame OF which it rested for few mo.
ments, while the wonder stricken par.
ents viewed its varied and lovely colors.
Without apparent alarm, it flew from
the house and disappeared. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wright, although not superstitious,
cannot be persuaded that it was any.
thing other than messenger from their
only child, whom they have mourned
with grief bordering on distraction.
The appearance has been a great com.
tort to them, as they feel assured that
all is we'll with her who has gone. May
it not be, that the loving Father above
sent this creature on an errand Of mercy
10 the parents in their bitter distress?

PACIFIC EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Fourteen Thousand Dollars Stolen
at the DaIIes

The Dalles, Ore, Oct. 15.@The Pa
cific Express office here was robbed of
$4,000 early yesterday morning. The
money was shipped from Portland on
the regular Oregon Railway & Navi-
cation overland train, which arrives
here at II p. m. For some time the
banks here have been obliged to obtain
large amounts of silver from Portland
to pay the fishermen and farm hands.
The robbers evidently knew this fact.
and made their plans accordingly.
Agent F. N. Hill, after hauling the
strong box from the train to the office.
went home and did not return until
shortly after midnight. When he re-
turned he found the contents of the
box gone with the exception of $1,000
The authorities were notified at once
and the matter kept secret. Detectives
are here from Portland watching every
avenue of escape. The most plausible
theory advanced is that the robbers
secreted themselves in the back room
of the express office and waited for the
agent to leave the building, as no
doors nor locks were forced open. They
must have known also that the express
messenger, who sleeps in the Office,
was away tending to the horse In a
stable near by. The robbers being unable
to carry all the silver, left $l,000 OF the
coin, consigned to French e Co.,
in the box. Ladd & Tilton, OF Port
land, shipped s1O,OOO-s7,5 500 in gold and
81, 500 in silver, consigned to French &
Co. The First National Bank of Port
land sent $500 in gold, consigned to
The Dalles National Bank.
The county fair has been in session
for a week past, which attracted a
large number of gamblers and toughs
to the city.

were working on several clues, but up
to a late hour no arrests had been

tendent of the Pacific Express COM

Her CONFESSION CONFIRMED.
Clarence Robinson Corroborates the
Statement Made by His Wife.

Cleveland. O., Oct. 15.-Clarence Rob
inson, the convicted burglar in the
county Jail here, made a confession
which confirms what his wife had al
ready told the police, and removes all
doubt about the murderer of Montgom-
cry Gibbs, the Buffalo attorney, In
April last
when we arrived in Buffalo last
spring." he said, I'VE were in want.
When we started out that night Sadie
wore mems clothes, and we each car
ried a revolver We walked along Del
aware avenue and passed seven or eight
persons. Gibbs approached us, and /
said to Sadie, Here comes swell guy,
and leveling my revolver at him, l or
dered him to throw up his hands. In
stead of doing so he struck me with
cane or umbrella. Then he grabbed
my right wrist and we had fight for
the revolver. When he laid hold of my
wrist. the revolver was fired, but the
bullet went into the air. A moment
later there was another shot and the
bullet entered Gibbs left arm. He fell
toward me and we clinched. Then it
was that Sadie pulled her revolver and
shot him in the head He dropped, and
we started to rob him when we saw
somebody coming We skipped out
climbing over the hedge fence and, run
ming between the two houses, we sep
arated and met on a back street. Then
we walked around the block past the
place of the murder, but on the oppo-
site side of the street. They were load

louise of James Farrar, in Lincoln.
Farrar was awakened and with his
brother and several neighbors pursued
the burglar. After following the foot
prints of the thief's rubber shoes for
some hours, they came across Barrett
in the woods and attempted to arrest
him. In the struggle which followed
Barrett killed Farrar. Barrett was
CAPTURED, however and on him were
found complete burglars kit, as well
as rubber tennis shoes such as the
thief who entered Farrar's house had
worn. Property which had been stolen
from other houses in the vicinity
short time before was also found in
his possession. 1t now develops that
Barrett's real name is William Bassett
and the police claim that he has been
a professional burglar for some time.

was she left New York and went to
Canada with her son. 1t is said that
the boy is still ignorant of his fathers

MIKE,E LITTLE TALK.
California Made Money on the Mid
winter Exposition.

New York, Oct. I'm. H. De Young,
proprietor of the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle and Vice-chairman of the Republic
an National committee, is at the Wal
dorf one of his missions east iSto buy
collections for the new museum recent
ly established in San Francisco. He
was seen by a reporter and said:
Eve have recently had one of the
greatest and most successful EXPOSE
tons in the world. We made money
on it and are now equipping one of the
finest museums in America. Our expo
sition had the largest electrical display
in the world, excelling that at the
Worlds Fair. French officials connect
ed with the coming exposition in Paris
sent delegation of experts to see how
we were managing things, and they
will use a number of our ideas. 1t cost
us s360,000 to get the exposition well
started, and we raised it all by sub
scription, with the understanding that
the money was a gift to the exposition
and was not to be returned. It was a
great thing for California, but the peo-
pie of the Pacific slope will talk about
it for years to come
what do you think of the political
outlook"
I'm California we shall elect a major
ity of the Congress delegation of seven,
and the next legislature is sure to be
Republican. the Republicans will car
ry the next National House of Repre-
sentatives.
''The Mckinley tariff gave people a
temporal shock and caused a good deal
of prejudice and directly affected the
vote. We lost thousands of votes. for
instance, because of the increase of du-
ty on imported Sumatra cigars.
THE removal of the duty on wool has
hit California hard. We have produced
on an average from 100000 to 40000,-
900 pounds of wool annually for many
years past. We cannot stand Australi-
an and Argentine competition. Flocks
are being rapidly reduced, the growers
sending their sheep to the shambles
rather than saving them for shearing
purposes.
I'VE shall seriously feel the with
drawal OF the bounty from the beet
sugar, under the stimulus of the COM
bined output of which reached nearly
100000 pounds during the present
year. The quantity could be increased
almost indefinitely with the bounty sys-
tenn, but without it the beet sugar pro-
ductiOn will go to the wall"

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 15.-S. H. H
Clark. managing receiver of the Union
Pacific, returned this morning. He said
that the report of Master in Chancery
Cornish was in accordance with his
own views on the Union Pacific ques-
ton.
II believe that all natural feeders
of the Union Pacific should remain in
the system said Mr.. Clark, par
ticularly in Nebraska and Kansas. even
if they are operated at a loss. These
feeders are necessary to the system,
and I believe that they should be re-
tanned, so the report of Judge Cornish
met with my approval"
Mr.. Clark declares himself in favor
of the retention of these feeders, not
withstanding the application of the re-
ceivers to the court for authority to
abandon them. That these feeders are
essential to the Union Pacific all we'll
posted railroad men will admit. From
them the main line derives a great deal
Of business, without which the road

branch lines of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn.

The dead man had served two terms

Last month he was ordered by the

THE RING.
wOIcOtt Stops Gibbons in Less Than
Four ROunds-Other Events.

Four ROunds-Other Events.
Coney Island, N. Y. Oct. 15-In less
than four rounds tonight Joe Walcott,
of Boston. Tom O'Rourke's colored
fighter, succeeded in stopping Austin
Gibbons, the Patterson lightweight,
and at the same time pushed himself
right to the front of his own class.
The fight was at 140 pounds, ten
rounds, but the pace was too fast for
the Jersey man and he was practi-
cally out after a right hand swing had
sent him to the floor. The mill was
pulled off by the Atlantic club in Sea-
bright palace, and was the final of a
series of three, which served to for
mally introduce the club to the public.
1t took the colored lad two rounds
to hush Gibbons up, and then he went
for him furiously, although the latter
showed no lack of aggressiveness.
The curtain raiser was a bout be-
tween Tim Murphy, of the Pastime
Athletic club. and Jerry Sullivan, OF
Brooklyn. 1t was somewhat tame I'M

Sacramento, Cal, Oct. 15.-Some-
where within mile of Sacramento a
fortune is hidden
Fifty thousand dollars in gold and
several thousand in silver, the booty
Of the train robbery of last Thursday
night, is buried in the earth, cached in
the tules, sunk in a slough or covered
up in a cellar.
But all the detectives have been IN
the stolen wealth must lie. The mile
includes town, swamp, brush, fields,
a river and a thousand Sloughs and
ponds. There is hardly a yard of it
outside of the streets of Washington or
Sacramento that might not conceal the
three bags of gold and one of silver.
For a time at least the hunt for the
their spoil.
A mysterious man was shot at by
the guards posted against the remote
possibility that the robbers might at
once seek their treasure, but he stepped
back from the moonlight into the
murky shadows of the night without a
word and without leaving e-en a
definite footprint by which his identity
might be traced or guessed. The de-
tectives believe that if the robbers
have cached the money they will wait
sonic time before uncovering, and
making use of it. With the idea of
guarding all possible chances, they
stationed guards through the tules and
along the track and have kept them
there every night since the robbery.

had not come scathless through the
ordeal. He stood at the window of his
car looking for chance to shoot at the
robbers, when one of them fired. The
bullet shattered the glass and he
thought some of the fragments struck
him in the face. His head became so
painful that he had a surgeon examine
it. The surgeon cut into the tissues
and extracted half of Winchester
bullet.
A large force Of detectives are still
hunting for the men who robbed the
east-bound express train of over $50, 600
near this city last Thursday night, but
they have not yet discovered a cleW
which will lead to the identity of the
men.
A sensational story comes from
Woodland today to the effect that Mel
vim Hatch, who is confined in the coun-
ty Jail at that place, had told fellow
prisoner that he knew the train was to
be robbed. Hatch is awaiting trial on
a charge of murder. He was held to
answer with Harry Knox, S. D. Worth
ern and other ,ex-railroad strikers for
the alleged wrecking of the train on
which Engineer Clark and several Uni
ted States soldiers were killed.

tives have ascertained that the robbers

IN A SAD PLIGHT.
Nearly Five Hundred Passengers
Guaranteed Because ef n Case of
Smallpox.

New York. Oct. 15.-The steamer
Kron Prinz Frederick Wilhelm, from
Naples. with eight cabin and 499 steer
age passengers on board, was detained
at quarantine owing to the detection
of a suspicious case in the person of a
steer2ge passenger.
Doctors Talmage and Salmon were
of the opinion that the patient suffered
from SMALLPOX.
Doctors Dillingham; and Benedict, of
the New York health department, both
experts in the handling of epidemic
diseases, were called in and after a
thorough examination confirmed the
diagnosis. The passenger having been
found mingling with his fellow passen-
gers, exposing all to the disease, the
whole number of Storage passengers
will be vaccinated and transferred to
Hoffman's island to await the develop
ment of the disease for period of
fourteen days.
The cabin passengers will be sent to
the dock this evening. The steamer
will be disinfected and released some
time tomorrow. The name of the pa
tient has not been obtained.

Pocatello. Ida, Oct. 15.-[Special.l-
Attached to No. this morning was
private car .'Nomad," containing Gem
eral Palmer, president of the Rio
Grande Western, who proceeded north
ward as far as Butte city. The Her
aids travelling correspondent visited
with the general in his car enroute
from Ogden to this point, and when
asked if the Rio Grande Western was
interested in constructing any addition
al mileage, replied:
"I wish to say that the Rio Grande
Western is not at present interested
in construction, though l believe a
road is contemplated to the asphaltum
fields in Utah. 1 take it that such an
enterprise is fostered by those directly
engaged or intrusted in the handling Of
that product"
General, how do you find the Rio
Grande Western property comparing
with other western lines in earnings? y
at is in excellent condition. The earn
fngs show a healthy and vigorous return
to times of the past, and at present
they are up to those figures of the year
before the panic. My belief is that
railroad properties in general will pick
up all over the country in proportion to
the different trade channels. Already
the tendency is manifest in this direc-
ton Oh, no, my visit at this time is
not coupled with any measure of spe-
cial importance-simply making a tour
of inspection
do you find the eastern people talk
ing any more kindly to the silver ques-
ton than formerly"
Il believe that the people of the en-
tire east are daily becoming more
friendly to the free coinage proposition,
and will in time favor the remonetiza-
ton of silver However, they will be
found to be bi-metalists only through
an international agreement, choosing
this in preference to risk of any posi-
Bile monetary disturbances resulting
from Independent and untrammeled ac-
ton on our part Commercial features
govern them in such belief, and they
strongly incline to think foreign coun-
tries must join in the movement, es-
pecially England, by virtue of the great
volume of business done between the
two countries
General Palmer will return from
Butte tomorrow, and goes on to Salt
Lake There he will remain possibly
another week looking about, and seems
in no particular hurry to leave Salt
Lake valley. While holding to the
statement that there is no special move
ment on, yet it is barely possible that
something new will be evolved from the
trip made at this season of the year by
the general and Colonel Dodge.
Mrs. Hyatt, of Market Lake, who left
Salt Lake last evening, met with an ac-
cident at Ogden last evening that came
within hairsbreadth of costing her her
life. She was standing on the platform,
as the train was backing into the de-
pot, holding a baby on one arm and a
basket on the other. She lost her bal
ance, falling to the ground between the
coaches and an express truck, the while
baby and basket fell in opposite direc-
tons. The wheels were going by with
an foot, and had not some of the de-
pot attaches rushed to the rescue i'm
the nick of time, she would have been
horribly mangled. The baby was I'M
injured, while the mother suffered but
slight bruise on her head.
