Scene of Activity at the Exposition
Grounds.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18.-The view
from the gallery in one end of the manu-
facturers and liberal arts building at the
exposition is a great one, even now, and
the scene spread out before the viewer is
one of decided activity. There is only
one section of the great floor space where
| active installation is not in progress.
| That is in the Russian section, immedi-
ately in the center of the floor. On this
space, however. is piled up great lot of
flags and tapestries, with every sort of
other material which is to be used in the
construction of the grand facade of this
section, and work will be begun on it at
once. The frame work for the British,
Italian Austrian and Swiss facades are in
place. The work of installation is being
rapidly pushed forward. The American
section is also rapidly developing and
will certainly be as far advanced as any
when dedication day arrives.
The dates on which the horticultural
congresses will be held under the au-
spices of the exposition's Department of
Horticulture have been fixed at April
24th, 18th and 18th.

Los ANGELES, Jan. 16.-Captain ]. D.
Yocum, prominent lawyer and citizen
of Pasadena, was found tonight near the
Hotel Green in this city suffering from
an ugly wound in his neck, inflicted by a
knife. He recovered sufficiently to say
that he was set upon by two highway
men, who robbed him of $40 and stabbed
him when he resisted. A small penknife
was found close by his head, which led
some to suspicion that he attempted TO
commit suicide, but no good reason has
been shown for such theory. Captain
Yocum came from Kansas with his fam
lily about year ago. His wound is dam
gerous, but not necessarily fatal.

ST. JOSEPH (Mo), Jan. 1S.-A gang of
five robbers, supposed to be the same
men who robbed the fast train on the
Burlington road here one week ago, held
up the Kansas City, st. Joseph and Coun-
Gil Bluffs train at Roy's ranch, two miles
north of this city, early this morning.
The holdup was on the same spot where,
last September, gang undertook to hold
up train, but found the railroad officials
had information of the fact and had made
up a dummy train, loaded with officers,
and i'll the fight which resulted two rob-
bers were killed.
Last nights robbery was conducted in
an unusual way. A torpedo was ex-
ploded under the train and red light
the engineer and fireman were covered
with revolyers and marched back to the
express car, part of the gang meantime
guarding the rest of the train and firing
an occasional shot with a warning to pas
sengers not to put their heads out of the
cars. They then demanded that the ex-
press messenger open the car door, and,
while one OF the robbers covered the en-
gineer, fireman, express messenger and
baggageman with revolvers, making them
stand in line with hands up inside the
car, the others went through the safe.
This work completed. the trainmen
were marched to the middle of the train
and the robbers disappeared in the will
lows beside the track.
The train was brought back to this city
and the authorities notified. No attempt
was made to rob the passengers OF the
mail car.
The express messenger says the rob-
bers got nothing to speak OF, as very little
in the way of money or valuables was in
the safe.
The Superintendent of the Adams Ex
press Company said this afternoon the
amount secured by the robbers would
not exceed $780, An official Of the road
said the amount is nearer $4,000, as the
train robbed always left here with full

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-The Posts Wash
ington special says: Rumors that the
President is bringing pressure to bear
upon the Senate to procure the reconsid-
Grafton of the vote to reject Hornblower
have been very plentiful ever since Mon
day, but have no foundation. When the
fight ended that days session it ended for
good so far as that particular nomination
is concerned. 1t is now conceded on all
hands that Senator Gray OF Delaware can
have the vacant place if he will take it.
1t is equally well assured he would be
pleased to accept il if he felt certain his
seat in the Senate was secure for the right
person, but there will have to be an extra
session of the Delaware Legislature,
whose conduct would be very uncertain,
or an interim appointment by the Gov
ernor. The desire of both Gray and the
President would be to have Bayard back
in the Senate, but the Governor, who
used to be warm friend and admirer of
Bayard. has been at odds with him some
time, and probably will not consent to

WalthaH Resigns His Seat as Senator
from Mississippi.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The most sig
nifcant event in the Senate to-day was
the announcement of the resignation OF
Senator Walthall of Mississippi. 1t was
totally unexpected. and when the letter

forwarded his resignation to the Governor
of Mississippi was laid before the Senate

sides. Waltball is 63 years old, and sue
ceeded the late L. Q. G. Lamar in the

causes general regret among his col
leagues as Walthall was very popular.

gave an opportunity for the Introduction
of two resolutions from Populist Sena-
tors condemning the policy Of the Adj
ministration. and later in the day discus
sion of the Stark monument appropria-
ton. The latter passed by vote 81 to Is.
