The Texas and Pacific Road Selected
This Time.
FoRr WoRrH, December o.-The east.
bound Texas and Pacific passenger train
was held up at a trestle eeven miles west
of here at 8 80 p. N. to-day. Several
shots were fred from the front end OF
the train, and the passengers were
warned to keep their heads in the win
dowe. The train was detained ten or
fifteen minutes, during which time those
who caught . glimpse Of the proceedings
saw three masked men with guns leveled
marching the engineer and tTainmen IN
and out Of the baggage car. When they
finished their work the robbers made
the engineer back the tain over . tres
tie, and while il was crossing disap-
peared in thick forest. The passengers
kept SO close while the train was being
robbed that they did not know much
about what was going on, and the rail-
road men and express officials will not
make any statements. 1t is not known
how much booty was secured. The rob-
bers had possession of the express car
until they accomplished their object.
One valuable package is known to have
been obtained. The safe OF the messen.
ger was carried of. 1t is learned on good
authority that upward Of t100, 900 was
secured. The passengers say the whole
hing was done 60 quickly that there WAS
little of story to tell.

PHILADELPHIA, December l0.-A vigor-
Gus effort will be made by leading oolored
men at the labor conference to be held
in Denver this week 70 have the word
white stricken from the constitution
OF the labor organizations. To-day's
issue Of the Christian Recorder, the organ
of the Arr an Methodist Episcopal
Church, contains An open letter TO John
Burns, who has come to this country
from England for the purpose Of attend
ing the conference. to espouse the cause
OF the colored men in the fight for equal
rights. The letter says in part:
In the name of the rights of labor We
ask you TO make some notes for your
countrymen at home concerning more
than 5000, 600 workmen in this country,
who suffer the greatest injustice at the
hands OF organized labor in the United
States. In the name of these colored
workmen we urge you to report upon the
conditions which exist in this country
and to recommend that there be no CO.
operation on the part OF the British
trades unions until the American trades
unions shall give all workmen in this
broad land equality Of opportunity.
Mr.. Powderly made . magnificent
stand for justice at Richmond, and his
influence began to wane from that mo-
ment. Mr.. Gompere has attempted to
do something, but he stands almost
alone. There are Q few leaders like
these, who, unable to inaugurate an agi-
ta,ion for equality. would welcome from
you fraternal word OF warning to the
effect that they who would demand their
rights must respect the rights OF others. "

Stormy Sessions.

Stormy Sessions.
sAx FnAScisco. December THE af-
fairs Of the Pacific Insurance Union are
in a most critical condition, so critical
in fact that il would take very little to
bring about dissolution OF that impor-
tant body. Some OF it's members, il lie
charged. are not living up to the terms
OF the compact, but are cutting rates and
doing other things which the union was
organized to prevent. Dissatisfied men,
beers are also Withdrawing from the
union. The latest to do SO is Arthur Z.
Msgili, manager on this coast Of the
Home Insurance Company OF New York
and Phoenix OF Hartford. His resigna.
ton has been rendered by him to the
union. Other designations, IL is report
ed. are about 10 be sent in.
The union held two very important
meetings to-day TO consider what Was
bes, 10 do in the circumstances. Pro-
ceedings were secret, but it is said that
they were stormy. It. was plainly pointed
,ut that unless members stood together
and made determined fight against III.
deseriers the union would be disrupted.
II was finally resolved that such a fight
should be made. and that union com.
panies would stand together to the last
ditch. A dissolution would lead 10 many
cancellations OF policies on which pre-
miums have not yet been paid. Il is
unierstood that about one fourth OF the
premiums on policies are allowed to re-
main on credit, and should they not be
collected companies on this coast would
lore about 81, 600, 900.
