BOOTY RECOVERED.
The Virginia Train Robbers Under Aires

The Virginia Train Robbers Under Arrest
 and the stolen Money Found.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The relent- less search which the officials of the Adams Express Co. have prosecuted to apprehend the criminals who held up a train at Aquia creek, Virginia, on the 18th inst, and to recover the stolen property, was rewarded yesterday by the finding of the pouch in which the robbers had placed most of their booty. The pouch was secured through the aid of c. J. Searcey, one of the robbers who was arrested at Cumberland, Md. This fact proves conclusively what the express officials have claimed-that Searcey was one of those wanted, and that relationship which has been shown to exist between Searcey and Morganfeld, now held in Cincinnati, establishes beyond a doubt that Morganfield was his pal, and it is now known the latter was the man with the shrill voice who entered the express car and held up Messengers Crouchfield and Murray.
 The details of the recovery of the pouch or how much money it contained are not known here except that the sack was hidden in the woods of Vir- ginia near Calverton. It can also be stated that not more than four men, and probably only three, were con- cerned in the hold-up. Two are now un- der arrest and the third, it is confident ly expected, will be caught within a short time.

A mighty cheer went uE when the vice president and his party alighted from the train.

REPORT ON OKLAHOMA.

Gov. Renfrow Makes His Annual Statemene
 on the Condition Of the Territory.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Gov. William C. Renfrow, of Oklahoma territory has submitted his annual report to the sec retary of the interior. The general condition of the territory he sums up in the following;
 Oklahomas progress has been sdy and rapid ever since the 22d of April, 1883. Capital has not as yet sought investment to any great extent in Oklahoma, but there has been real and substantial increase in wealth from the al- most unlimited natural resources of the terri tory, and 1t now furnishes one of the best fields for capital fin the United States.
 Report by county clerks to the terri torial auditor February 1, 1894, showed the population to be 212,635. The tax able valuation of the territory is S19,- 947, ,922; the assessed valuation of rail- road property, $1, $50, ,592; the value of the Western Union Telegraph Co.'s property is S52,026. There are fifty-six banks-six national and fifty private.
 In discussing the resources of the ter ritory and it's agricultural outlook Gov. Renfrow says:
 All kinds of agricultural products grow in Oklanoma ana StOck raising IS m an aculVo stage of development Manufacturing has been but little developed There are strong indications of valuable mine al deposits al- though congress has declared the land non- mineral There are also surface indications of coal, gas and oil
 Of statehood and the admission of the Indian territory as one of the states, the governor says:
 The admission of Oklahoma has been much discussed and the people are divided on the question. Some desire statehood for Okla homa with its present boundary; others prefer to have the matter of state hood deferred until such time as Okla homa and the Indian territory may be admitted as one state. As separate states neither Oklahoma nor the Indian terri- tory would rank among the great western states either in extent or wealth. Together they would be equal to the greatest and in my opinion the greatest state west of the Missis- sippi,

Thirteen Was Too Many

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 24.-Harrison Smith, of Augusta, Ga., was an hum- ble citizen of that city before there was an increase; now his funeral will occur this afternoon.

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The Indian office has received another telegram from Agent Wisdom at Muskogee, l. T., relating to the troubles experienced from lawless men in that section. He says:
 The Cook gang of outlaws in force is camped at Gibson Station, miles from here, on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road. It is believed that another holdup is contemplated. My police force such as get together, is not equal to the emergency, and Marshal Crump, at Fort Smith, Ark writes that he has no money to keep marshals in the field for a campaign.

 This telegram was referred to Secre- tary Smith, who called the attention of the secretary of war to his request of Tuesday that troops be sent to the Indian territory and suggested the ur- gency of early action as desired by the government. It has been determined by the interior department officials to break up the lawlessness in the Indian territory if the active assistance of the war department is secured.

Diphtheria Epidemic.

STURGEs, Ky, Oct. 25.-A fearful and death-dealing plague of diphtheria is raging opposite Caseyville, in Illinois, and coffins can hardly be furnished fast enough with which to bury the dead. Not fewer than forty deaths have oc- cured within the week and it is not uncommon to bury two children in one coffin. A man from across the river went to Caseyville yesterday for the fifth coffin furnished to one family. The plague has now crossed the Ohio and is epidemic at Caseyville and Mulford- town, having been brought thither by families from Illinois fleeing from its ravages.

London Paper Says British VIII Take Our
 Market Under the Wilson BIlI

HarkcU tnuer Uhe wilson Blll.
 We would specially urge our readers who lay themselves out for foreign trade to turn their attention to the new tariff bill just passed by the United States. which has already become operative. The fact that McKinl eyism has hit British manufacturers and ex- porters very hard indeed, and in some instances, where the United States has been their only market, has vir. tuallY ruined them, cannot be denied; but this is no reason why manufac- turers who are still prepared to do a considerable business with the United States should allow cold water to be thrown upon their anticipations of the future. It has become the fashion of late for certain class of critics to deride American business and all things American, presumably, be- cause we have been afflicted for time with McKinleyism. Now McKinleyism has completed it's reign of tinkering, at least for the present, there is an opportunity once more to go in and possess the land. Disap- pointment exists, there is no doubt, that the intentions of the promoters of the Wilson bill should have been so ruthlessly set on one side, but Eng lishmen trading with the states will find it profitless task to discuss the political morality of American legis- lators On the principle, therefore
 that half loaf is better than none, we would advise them to examine the tariff for themselves, and see that they use every opportunity in their power to secure the business which undoubtedly awaits them in certain branches of the trade. New markets are not quite so easily discovered as they were during the easy-going days of our fathers, and we cannot afford to be so independent or impatient as

 tant Industry.
 A remarkable circular has been is- sued giving the status of the sheep production of Missouri for about a dozen years past, which contains fig- ures of vital interest to every resident of the state. This document shows that there was a steady increase in the number of sheep owned in the state on to 1882, when the number reached its highest point, and then a reduction set in. In 1880 there were 1,436, 820 sheep owned in Missouri, and 1,79s,625 in 1882. At that point the downward movement began. The num- Der in 1884 was 1,b42, 514, and in 18o9 the total had shrunk to 749,065. Then a turn upward took place, and there had been a steady growth in the num- Der afterward to 1S9S That is, there was an increase to 1882, then de- crease to 1889, and afterward an in crease again to the close of 1893, the latest date given.
 What were the causes of these fuc- tuations? They were due to changes in SAAS i"sSs OA NuSASo oh "ools ShNSA the law of 1867, when the duties were ample for protection, there was a steady and marked increase in sheep, and this duty continued on to 1883, when it was reduced in the tariff re- vision of that year. That cut was re- sponsible for the shrinkage in the num- Der of sheep whichhas been mentioned In 1890, in the Mckinley law, the wool duties were increased, and that ex- plains the growth in sheep afterward unto and including 1892 This connec- tion beween adequate duties and de- crease in sheep has been so close and persistent that it must be more than a mere coincidence. The former in each case must stand to the latter in the relation of cause to effect.

they were accustomed to be when ob- stacles were thrown across their path. It should be borne in mind that, after all, the new tariff is somewhat re- markable for such cold-blooded pro- tectionist country as America. It is noteworthy that the Wilson tariff shows reduction all around.
 Few English firms will benefit more from the new tariff than those engaged in the Sheffield trades, and, although they have been under cloud for a long time past in connection with American trade, they are preparing to reestablish their relations with American houses who were previously large buyers of best cutlery. We have every reason to hope that the advan- tages offered under the Wilson tariff will cause considerable spurt in this branch of trade. Despite the severity with which some of the Sheffield houses were smitten when Mckinley ism asserted its sway, it may be confi- dently asserted that the quality of Sheffield goods has not been allowed to. suffer in consequence.
 Speaking broadly, it may be said that nearly every branch of English manufacture suitable for the American markets will either directly or indi- rectly receive stimulus from the new tariff The metal trades have already greatly improved since the tariff be- came law, and makers of tinplates, of which America is our largest customer, are looking forward to brisk business in the near future.

 cB-It is possible that horse and carriage can be bought cheaper than ever before, but what does that avail a man who may want that horse but has not the money to pay for itP His wife may tell him that silks and vel vets were never to be had so low be- fore, but if his bank account has dis appeared the silks and velvets will continue to lie on the tradesman's shelves. A house may be built cheap CT than it could under the Mckinley law, but that will not profit the build CT, the lumber dealer, the brickmaker, the plumbers, bricklayers, carpenters and painters, if the man who wants the house has not the money to pay for his material and for their labor.
