 Fort Sheridan Range.


 CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Sergt. Wilson, sev- enteenth infantry, is the best in the army. At Fort Sheridan, yesterday af- ternoon, he won the first army gold medal with score of 595 for total of four days shooting. During the last half of yesterdays firing he used but one eye, the other having been almost blinded with powder.
 The second gold medal was taken by Sergt. Callaghan, Fifth infantry, who rolled up score of 569 points. The next two men were Sergt. Fellenz, Ninth infantry, 56s, and Lieut.. J. c. Gregg, 563.

EXPRESS OFFICE ROBBED
And Fourteen or Fifteen Thousand Dollars
 Taken.


 THE DAILEs. Ore, Oct. l6.-The Pa cifc express office in this city was robbed Sunday morning at an early hour of $14. .000 or S15,000. The money taken was sent from Portland and ar rived Saturday night. r. N. Hill, ex- press agent, and two officers took charge of the money as soon as it ar rived, taking it to the express office. Details of the robbery are meager. The express agent and marshal have positive instructions to disclose none of the particulars. They are searching the neighborhood. and apparently sus- pect local people of the robbery.
 probable clcw to the robbers is that they came on the train with the treasure box and knew where it was consigned and it's contents.
 The company's driver sleeps in the express office, but on the night of the robbery he was attending ball and did not return until 1 o'clock. The robbery was evidently committed be- sween 11:30 and 1a:30 while the driver was absent, which leads the officials to believe that it was done by local per sons, although there are number of rounders in town who have been in att tendance at the fair.
 Telegrams have been sent out in all directions, but no description can be given of the robbers.

THE JAPANESE LEGISLATURE
ConvOked in Extra Session to Discuss Inn
 portant Matters.


 portant Matters.
 LONDON, Oct 16.-A rescri ipt was is- sued convolxing an extra session of the Japanese parliament at Hiroschima for yesterday. to continue for seven days in order to discuss matters requiring the sanction of parliament. While the liberal party is in the majority, all fac tions are uniting to press the war to a successful conclusion.
 When the last Japanese parliament dissolved, the leaders of the different parties were at swords points, but in the presence of war with power of China's magnitude, involving the su- premacy of the Orient, the old personal feuds have been set aside, and efforts are being made to have all factions rep resented through their leaders in the new Japanese cabinet.
 To this end it is being urged that Count Chuma, Count Itagaki, Count Matsukata and Viscount Shinagawa shall be members of the new cabinet, although they have been among the most active leaders against the gov ernment. There are no cabinet port folios vacant, yet so strong is the feel ing for political union during this emergency that it is proposed to create new cabinet officers in order to get their cooperation.

THE CHARS ILLNESS

Seid to Have Been Caused by Scientific
 Means-His Death Will be an Unnatural
 Onc-The Greek Church Anxious for the
 Succession of the Czar's Second Son.
 Who Is a Good Soldier, but a Dangerous
 Man.
 MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Oct. 16.-Dr George Fr. V. Schmidt, an officer in the Prussian army, now travelling on leave, yesterday made public in an afternoon paper letter received from a friend in St. Petersburg. These dispatches were written in sympathetic ink on appa- rently blank piece of paper in order that they might be conveyed out of Russia. The most sensational matter in the dispatch is the intimation that the czar's illness has been caused by other than natural means. The doctor translated the dispatch as follows:
 "The czar is lying at the point of death. The excitement of the highest circles in Russia is simply tremendous. It is understood in a wide circle in Russia that the czar's sickness was brought about by scientific means, and that his death will not be natural one. 1t is on account of this that tE e journals contradict the fact of the czar's sickness. There is party that wants to set the czarowitZ on the throne. The czarowitz is of cranky, melancholy nature, is inclined to insti- tute the most radical reforms through out Russia, and has already made plans for such actions. He is very much hated by the clergy
 "The patriarch of Moscow, who is at the head of the Greek church. has trav- eled about with the czar in order to persuade him to put his second son on the throne instead of the czarowitz. As this second son is very hot-headed, he Is sure not to remain long on the throne without becoming seriously in- volved in state troubles. He is fine soldier, fond of fight, a martial fellow and very ambitious. He is an enemy of England, of Germany and, above all, of America. He not only in- tends to increase the size of Asiatic Russia, but also to attempt the tre- mendous task of bridging the Behring straits and extending his empire in the direction of America. This prince is by all odds one of the greatest gen. erals in Russia, having been with Gourka and Timaschieff, and having studied with the latter

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY
Expected to be Attempted on the Frisco
 Railroad.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. l6.-Sunday night, as the south-bound Frisco train was pulling out of Butterfield it was noticed that one of the lanterns had been stolen. The conductor began feel ing uneasy, but when he entered the caboose one of the passengers, who proved to be deputy sheriff of Siloam Springs, notified him that on that morning thirteen men armed to the teeth had been seen between Siloam Springs and Benton ville, riding toward the latter place.
 He wired the superintendent, and extra precautions have been taken since to prevent hold-up It was earned yesterday that the armed men were the Cook gang, the successors of Dalton and his desperadoes. The rail- -oad officials are confident that an- other train robbery will be attempted.

 VANCOUVER, E. C., Oct. 16.-The steamer Arawa, which has arrived from Australia, Fiji and Hawaii, brings the following advices from the am tipodes:
 The New South Wales legislature has passed resolution by an overwhelm- ing majority in favor of extending the franchise to women. Notice has also been given by Sir Henry Parker that on November 1s the following motion will be made:
 That in view of the rapid growth of Australia in the clements of national life, and the number of questions aris- ing out of that growth. which can be only dealtwith adequately by nation allegislature. it is in the highest sense desirable that parliament, without loss of time, should resume the considera- tion of the federation of these colonies nnder one national government"
 The New Zealand government pro- poses what is called the cheap-money scheme, which briefly means that the government shall borrow el, 800. GOO in London every year for advances to farmers at the rate of per cent. The scheme limits advances on freeholds to two-thirds of their value, and on leases 10 half of the lessee's interest.
 The New Zealand parliamentary tariff committee has reported strongly in fa- vor of reciprocal Australian tariffs, but recommends delay until a royal con- mission has been appointed to collect information bearing upon the matter.
 Tine trouble between the pastoralists and the sheepshearers in Queensland was still far from settlement when the Arawa left.
 In the legislative assembly on Sep tember 12, during discussion in com nittee of the peace-preservation bill, introduced by the government to put down the lawless outbreak occasioned by the strike. n great scene of confu- sion occurred, ending in the suspension Ul seven ldDOf UlcluDcr MT.

The government was willing to accept several amendments from the opposition if the first six clauses of the bill were allowed to stand. Mr. Glas- sey would not accept line of the bill and absolute disorder ensued. Sew eral members asked to be allowed to make an explanation, but the chair man threatened to name all Nearly all the labor members rose to their feet and general disorder ensued. amidst cheers and cries of '.the brutal government" etc.
 When order was restored the premier moved that the chairman leave the chair and report no progress. Before the chairman could put the motion several members who had become ob- streperous were removed.
