AMATEUR ROBBERS.
Pretty Nervous, but They Looted
the Train for All That.

ST. JOSEPH. Mo-, Jan. 1O.-The Burling-
ton train, leaving the city at 6:15 to-day.
was held up about three miles east of St.
Joseph by five masked men. The train
was stopped by tOrpedoes being placed on
the track, and red lantern hung across
the road in regulation fashion. As soon as
the train stopped, three robbers boarded
the engine with drawn revolvers, and or
dered the engineer and fireman to accom-
pany them to the express-car and order
the express messenger TO open the door.
This they did. and when the express mes
senger opened the door the three robbers,
with revolvers in each hand, entered the
car and the messenger was ordered to open
the safe. He did so, and the robbers took
all there was in the safe. The amount is
claimed by the railroad officials not to ex-
ceed $50, but this statement Is not redited
here.
The trainmen think the robbers were
amateurs, as they were nervous all during
the affair, and appeared much excited.
When the train stopped a brakeman went
back to flag the st. Louis train following,
and when several hundred yards down
the track heard shots fired and suddenly
the train pulled out. He says the robbers
entered the mail and express cars and took
ali the registered mail in the former and
all packages in the safe in the latter.

BOLDEST ON RECORD.
Brutal Robbery of a Stranger
at Los Angeles.
Dumped Into the River, Beaten and
Relieved of Valuables and
Railroad Tickets.

Los ANGELES, Jan. 10-The boldeSt
highway robbery and attempt at murder
ever committed in this city occurred be-
tween 10 and II O'Clock to-day within 200
yards OF the Santa Fe depot. After re-
lleving the victim of valuables the robbers
dumped him headlong into the river and
left for parts unknown.
The story as given to the police by the
victim is as follows: Last evening Charles
II. Baker of Chicago arrived in Los An
geles on visit. Baker is an invalid and
arose early this morning. After partaking
of breakfast he started out for a walk and
brought up a the Santa Fe depot. lie was
about to look after baggage left there the
night before, when he noticed the levee.
His curiosity led him to walk over to the
river bank. AS he approached he noticed
two men sitting on the edge of the levee
with their feet hanging over. They also
noticed him at the same time and got upon
their feet Baker expected to be asked
for 10 or 20 cents. He walked nearly
to the edge of the levee, when one
of the men said, "Good-mOruing, sir"
at the same time asking him where
be came from. Baker returned the saluta-
tlon of the man and said he was from
Chicago. While talking one Of the men
approached him from behind, grabbed him
about the neck, bent bis head back and at
the same time clapped his hand over his
mouth. The other man proceeded to beat
him over the head with a large stone.
Finally Baker was dumped headfirst into
the river below, both men landing on top
of him. While one of the robbers held
a large rock over his head. threatening to
brain him If be uttered sound, the other
went through his clothes and relieved him
OF TOund-trip ticket, his watch and a
large sum of money.
As soon as the matter was reported TO
police headquarters Chief Glass detailed
every available man on the case and noti-
fed all outside towns. Baker is a we'll
connected young man and is suffering much
from the business. Baker lost 500 In
money, a gold watch and chain and tickets
worth from $500 to $500.

said be wanted authority to issue bonds, as
he thinks an Issue of bonds the best way
to meet the apparently rapidly approach
ing crisis in the treasury. The Secretary
stated that instead of Increasing Govern
ment receipts had continued to diminish,
until there was coming to be a monthly
gap Of about S10,00O.OO0 between the re-
ceipts and the expenditures. Therefore
ne favors an issue of per cent bonds,

mittee dispersed without action. but
enough was developed to show that it will
be very difficult to agree upon a bill.

VENICE, Jan. 10.-The Gazette de Vene-
Zla says the comma nder of the forces in
Liguria and Piedmont has been ordered to
complete the arming forthwith of the forts
on the French frontier and of the batteries
on the Tyrlhenian Sea. Several army

these extraordinary steps is the iact that

THE NEWS CONFIRMED.
MeIIo Getting Ready for One Graud
Assault.

BUENos AYREs. Jan. 10.-The most i'm
pOrtant news has been received from Rio
de JaneIro. The Brazilian insurgents
have recaptured the islands of Mocangue
and EngenhU, and are preparing to make
a landing in strong force at Nictheroy.
1t is also reported that Admiral Mello.
on board the warship Aquidaban, has sue
ceeded in re-entering Rio Bay in spite of
the active lookout kept for him by the
Government forts at the entrance to the
harbor; and it is added that Mello is per-
sonally supervising the land operations
which. 1t is said, are to be undertaken at
Nictheroy.
Finally, It is asserted that If the rebels
are successful in making the landing at
Nictheroy a general attack upon the city
of Rio de Janeiro will be Immediately
commenced. every available man on board
the insurgent warships being utilized in
the attack. PeixotO is aware of the con-
templated movement, and is taking vigor-
Gus measures to meet the attack, which, it
is expected. will decide the fate OF the
rebellion one way or the other.

millions of unemployed American lahorers
now in actual need and distress.
Senator Dolph did not think it the duty
of the Government TO provide tor general
nicaiion of the Governor of Oregon New
Year day to the President, declaring that
the people of his State were indignant a.
the Governor and had adopted resolutions
denying his statements. The resolution
of PETER was then adopted.
Davis of Minnesota then addressed the
Senate on FTye's resolution against the
use of the naval force in Hawaii.
Political history for the past forty years
was reviewed in some detail by Senator
Davis. He insisted that the evidence con-
tanned in the Blount report instead of sus-
tanning the conclusions of the Commits
sioner as a matter of fact sustained the
position of ex-Minister Stevens. In the
revolution of 1889 the woman, afterward
Queen and now the pretended Queen of
Hawaii, was the prime mover. This revo-
luton was TO overthrow her own brother
Her record shows that she had violated
pledges and oaths and that no reliance
could be placed in her and no assurance
felt that her conduct in the future would
be otherwise than it had been in the past
''The testimony is concurrent" said
Senator Davis, that the revOlutionists
expected to have trouble; that they did
not rely on the United States troops OF
marines for the success of their movement
and they were able TO take care of them
selves. This revolution would have gone on
if DOT marine had set foot On the islands
of Hawaii. All talk implying duress by
the United States troops by reason of their
position is the merest fallacy. The sue
cess of the revolution was already assured
and complete and its recognition was a
condition and not theory"
Senator Davis announced that he would
conclude tomorrow. The Senate went
into executive session and afterward ad-
journed.

that the dirigible balloon which Peixoto
ordered constructed for use in his cam

This balloon is made of silk. in spherical
form, so that its equipOise is constantly
maintained. No metal other than alum
mum is used in its construction. Dyna-

A messenger from Admiral da Cana,

arrested in Rio.
Peixoto has fortified the coast line and
is preparing TO attack Islas das Cobras.
Many sailors from Da Gama's feet have
deserted because of the mOnaTchical views
of the admiral.
ReVolutiOnist sympathizers in Buenos
Ayres have circulated reports that the
sentiment against President PeixOto is
daily increasing in Rio.
Nothing has been received In Montevideo
concerning the reported resignation of
PeixOto. and the rumnr is not credited.
The Rio News. which has resumed pub
lication, says that the insurgents have re-
taken the islands of Mocangue and En-
genho. Mello, with the Aquidaban and
other ships, has re-entered Rio harbOr.
They succeeded in passing the forts under
cover of darkness.
Mello has a sufficient force which he
proposes TO land at Nictheroy. He will
attack Rio. Peixoto has sent four bat
talions TO Nictheroy, and important events
are expected soon. The siege of Bage
continues without advantage to either
party.
There are daily skirmishes, but they are
without consequence. General Tavare7
has been attached TO the column which
will fight General Hypolito, who is ad-
vaneing slowly. General San Palo. in
charge Of the artillery near Bage. has q

they lack artillery.
