BILL COOKS BANDITS
Hold Up Train on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas.
Failing to Loot the Express Car
They Boldly Plundered the
Passengers.

Fort SMITH, Ark, Nov. 14.-Train No.
9, southbound, on the M. K. and T. road,
was held up and robbed at 10 p NJ. last
night at little siding named Blackstone,
five miles north of Muskogee. There were
fifteen men in the gang, all uDmasked.
The switch was thrown ana the train run
into track On which were several box
cars. An attempt was made to enter the
express-car. but it was unsuccessful. The
robbers finding themselves foilsd in this
commenced robbing the passengers, who
up 20 this time had been merely kept
under guard by men stationed in either
door of each coach. Some $3.50 In money
and eight gold watches were secured. The
robbers then withdrew.
One of the train crew claims to have
recognized Bill Cook as one of the ban
dts. The reason that more money was
not secured lay in the fact that while the
robbers were endeavoring to get into the
express car the passengers disposed of
most of their valuables. The scene of the
bold-up is in the midst of the Cook rem
dezvnus, all that country lying between
the Arkansas and Verdigris rivers being
particularly suited to the purposes OF law
less bands. Almost the entire force of
Marshal Crump is now up in that coun-
try. He is ignorant of the affair tonight.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13.-Arcording to re-
ports to Superintendent Simpson of the
Wells-Fargo Express Company, the sum
total of the booty obtained by the robbers
who held up the St Louis and San Fran
cisco train near Monett, Mo-, was S215.

the messenger killed in defense of his car
in Kansas year or two ago. He was him

DOOn OF PORT ARTHUR.
How the Place Was Invested by the
Armies of japan,

YOKOHAMA, Oct. 80, 1894. - General
Oyama's army left Japan October 1S The
number of troops was estimated at a little
more than 10000. They filled nearly fifty
TRANSPORTS and 500 fat-bottomed boats &C.
companied the flotilla to facilitate the
landing. On October "a the east coast of
the L'au.tung peninsula was reached. A
considerable part of the force was put on
shore at point supposed TO be some forty
miles north of Port Arthur and a little
north of the fortified town OF Kin-chao,
or Chin cbire, on the opposite coast. The
remainder of the army passed around the
extremity of the peninsula into the Gulf of
Pechili and toward a destination not vet
positively known to the public in Japan.
The feet under Admiral Ito moved stimuli
taneously upon the stations at Port Arthur
and Talien. The purpose was to hem in
all the Chinese garrisons in the southern
part of Lau.tuDg and compel their sur
render. as well as that of Admiral Ting's
sauadrons. The native troops defending
these positions we're believed not to ex.
ceed 5000 in number These facts are tele-
graphed from Shanghai The scene of
operations is so remote that no direct in
telligsnce has been received Dy the japan
ese Government. The mastery of the
strongholds which command one side of
the entrance to the Gulf Of Pechili Will
give powerful advantage to Japan, and
the possession or destruction of the ships
sheltered at Port Arthur will secure her
the undisputed control of the Chinese
waters; but the capture of a large body of
soldiers will be only burden, which
would be gladly avoided were it possible.

its advance into Mancbnria by the seizure

was completed on the morning of October
25. and was followed by a succession of
SIX finishes, in which the Japanese lost

Desperation.
Attempt a Fraud Which They Will
Probably Not Succeed in Car

KANSAS CITY. Nov. 13.-The voters OF
all parties received shock to-day. From
election day until now they all believed
w. L. Jameson (R) and William Sloan
(R.) had been elected Prosecuting Attor-
Dey and County Marshal respectively.
The returns as announced by the Re-
corder of Votes said so, but the official re-
turns give different results, which turn
Jamieson's plurality of 363 iD the city to a
plurality OF % for j. II. Bremmerman
3D.. This sudden change caused amaze
ment, but CONSERVATION struck the town
when the announcement was made that
Sloan's before ubquestioned plurality had
dwindled away. and that the count actu-
ally gave Joseph Keshlear D) 80
plurality. Justires Shannon and Haw-
thorne completed their comparison of
the vote yesterday according to law and
found DO change from the result before
announced, excepting in Bremmerman's S
ward, be being credited with an extra 100
because of wrong addition. This. how
ever, had no effect. excepting to lessen
Jamieson's plurality. and until the official
announcement was made these two Justices
would have staked their lives that the Re.
publican candidates were elected. Nobody
knows how it all happened, but there are
loud cries of fraud and the Star Uno.) a
conservative paper. publishes scare head
declaring the election has been "stolen." 4"
The Journal (R.) declares that the bold
est of frauds has been sprung at the last
moment. Justice Hawthorne has wired
the Secretary of State that the returns
have been manipulated and advised him
not to issue commissions to Bremmerman
and Kesblear.
County Clerk Caldwell has issued GER
tihcates of election to Bremmerman and
Keshear.

held subject to United States Jurisdiction,
no matter what their nationality may be,
or where the ship may be stationed. This
claim is not only theoretically main tanned,
but has been practically put in force. An
Englishman who committed murder on
an American vessel in Yokohama was
tried before the United States Consul
General, and the Supreme Court at Wash
ington subsequently decided that the ac-
cused was properly subject to United
States jurisdiction. The Governor Of the
Kanagawa district, in which Yokohama
is situated. now asks the central Govern
ment for inform alton as to whether this
position will be recognized by Japan in
the case of offenses committed by Japa-
nese seamen on American ships within
the limits of the empire. The Foreign
Office answers that all japanese, and also
foreigners pot belonging te treaty power,
who are charged with offenses on any
merchant ships while in Japan. must be
tried before the native courts, and that the
right of The United States authorities to
deal with them cannot be admitted.
A severe earthquake occurred In the
northern provinces of the main island of
Japan on October 90. Several violent
shocks followed one another in quick sue

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-The Maritime
Nicaragua Canal Company of New York

tary of the Interior. The report refers to
the depression that has prevailed during
the year, which it says has prevented i.

ress in the construction Of the canal The
affairs of the Nicaragua Canal Construc-
ton Company are reviewed. This COM

TO build portions of the canal. and it was
owing to its failure that the Maritime
Company was unable to do any work.
The construction company is now reported

pressed that more favorable fin Danclal times
will see the construction company ready

Ed TrembIy's side of the contest in re-

that last Monday MeQuade obtained from

Trembly from interfering with his dis

Mr.. Doxy states that MoQuade was reap

vas liked at 500 a month for SIX months of
the year and s75 for the balance Of the
wear. Last June, however. he states that.
as the revenue of the town had fallen off
10 a considerable extent, the council, aetu-
ated By a spirit of economy, declared the
Offices OF city attorney. police judge and
town marshal vacant, as the town charter
prohibiss the reduction OF the salaries Of
officials while in Office. The council then
amended the salary ordinance and reduced
the salaries of the police judge. attorney
and town marshal. He states that Nc
onade was then called in and told that hs
would be given the preference for the
positicn. Doxy states thai MeS[usde
abused the council and deiied it TO reduce
his paw. He charged the mayor with job
ming him because he worked against him
in the school election.

and ia Trembly was appointed his sue
