MINERAL.

In the face of the deepest adversi-
ty, incentived by that indomitable
courage peculiar to the western pros
pector, six men keep on developing
their Mineral properties. They are
Messrs Campbell, Mckenzie, Gala
CHER, Manning, TRULY, and last, but
not least, Wild Bill. AS it might
conduce to the further depreciation
of silver if we should state anything
about the extent or value Of the new
finds, we will forbear until more
propitious time. 634 cents per ounce
for silver gives no encouragement, but
it is as natural for people to hope as
it is to live. 1t is the general belief
that a reaction must soon take place.

with more enthusiastic applause as he

.TRAIN-ROBBERS FOlLED

BY the Presence of Mind of Brave En-
gineer Who Got Onto the. Game just
In Time.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 3.-The gang
of train-robbers who have been opera
ting in the vicinity of this city made
another attempt last night, which,
however. was a failure, owing to the
nerve of Engineer James Mckinney. of
the Rock Island train No. IS. bound
for Chicago, which left this city at
1928 in charge of Conductor j. A. War
ner.
just as the train reached deep cut
on the line three miles east of this city
Engineer Mckinney saw a red lantern
flash across the track. He promptly
applied the brakes, and the train came
nearly to standstill, when he no.
ticed several men with guns in their
hands rise up from the side of the
track and start toward the engine.
He instantly realized that they
were robbers, and pulled the
throttle wide open. The engine
shot past, and as it did so the
gang opened fire pouring a volley into
the engine and baggage car. The en-.
CINE men crouched down and escaped
unframed. AS the engine went by
one of the robbers yelled: "Stop that
train. You --,'' and emptied two
revolvers into the cab. The train was
safely out of their way, and the gait
was not Stacked until Stockbridge was
reached, where the officers in this city
were notified and posse sent out to
scour the country. There were four OF
the bandits and they wore white
masks.

EUGENE, Ore, March Grant Moss
and father quarreled a week or ten
days ago. Dave Coleman, who lived
next door, sided with the father. Last
night young Moss went to Coleman's
house. shot Coleman's eldest daughter
through the breast, killing her in
stantly, shot another daughter through
the arm, then went into the old mans
room and shot him twice through the
body, the bullets going through each
lung.
Moss then ran out of the house into
a vacant lot and back to the yard of
his fathers house and shot himself
through the head, dying instantly.
Coleman is still alive, though he has
two holes through his body, through
which handkerchiefs are drawn by the
physicians.

PARIS, March 1.-The st. Petersburg

the statement that an offensive and de-

France was formed and signed during
the Franco-Russian fetes, which took
place in Paris, Toulon, Lyons and
elsewhere on the occasion of the visit
of the Russian fleet to France last Oc-
tober. The agreement, according to
the correspondent, defines the number
of men to be brought into the field by
each party to the convention, and de-
termines the question of command of
the allied armies and fleets under the
various conditions that NAV arise.

Refusal to adopt the amendments of
the house of lords means the loss OF
the bill. The other day the govern
ment was obliged to lose bill because
the house of lords had entirely de-
stroyed the principle of it. In the
case of the parish councils bill, how.
ever. the principle of the extension of
the local government remained, there
fore the government was willing to
withdraw its opposition to the amend.
ments of the house of lords.
It was perfectly obvious, he said,
that a collision between the two
houses could not be continued. Pro-
longed cheers. The government in ac-
cepting the lords amendments did not
intend to end the controversy by any
means. It was matter to be submit
ted to the arrangement of the nation.
[Cheers.] The government intended
to take the parish councils bill just as
it came from the house of lords in or.
der to save it from the wreck of the
session; but he desired to make it clear
that the real issue involved the right
of the house of lords to interfere with
the work of the house of commons.
Enthusiastic cheers.
Mr.. Balfour, who was cheered as he
arose, said that the speech just made
by Mr.. Gladstone amounted to a dec.
1aration of war upon the house OF
lords. He did not fear the premier
covert threats. If the government
would appeal to the country the con-
servatives would welcome the attempt
to make public opinion of the house OF
lords the issue.
Several minor amendments made to
the bill by the house Of lords were &C.
copied without debate, and the house
then adjourned until Monday.
