ROSCOE TRAIN ROBBERY.
Officers as Yet Unable to Run Dow
the Bandits.

Officers as Yet Unable to Run Down
the Bandits.
Los ANGELES, Feb. 1S.-It seems to be
now the general belief that the Roscoe
robbers did not 90 in the direction of
Ventura, but made for Cahuenga Pass or
its immediate vicinity. The reported
finding of the pole of a buggy at the
river gives strength to the theory.
1t is considered more likely that the
robbers would try to get into Los An
geles by untrequented roads and lose
their identity in the dense population
than flee across the open country twelve
or fifteen miles before reaching the noun
tains toward Ventura. They would be
lar more likely to be discovered on the
latter route than in this city or trying to
get here.
Detectives Thacker and Will Smith re-
turned from Hollywood late yesterday
afternoon, whittier they went in search of
the train robbers, but they saw nothing
OF them and found no trace OF them. 1t
is the opinion of the detectives that the
men are now in a safe retreat, and will
not be captured for several days. They
discredit the rumOrs OF the capture OF the
men, and say that they have heard moth
ing of it.
A rumor is current ut the United States
Government building that Marshal Gard
and Miles L. Bowles arrested TWO we'll
known men up near Calabasas. and are
now on their way to this city with them.
The reason tor their non appearance is
that they were afraid the railroad men
would take the men from them by force
and do violence to them. Nothing posi-
tive has been learned of this. Neither
Gard nor Bowles has communicated with
the officers nor any one else in this city.

further news mad been received there.
lie said not, except a rumor which had
failed to be verified. He could not say
lust how much the robbers got, but was
positive that there was not enough in the
car, as in the other Roscoe robbery, to
pay the robbers for their trouble. He
said the sum was really insignificant.
The rumOr gained rapid currency yes
terday morning that the Roscoe train
robbers had been caught out i'll the Holly
wood country, near Cahuenga Pass.
This, unfortunately, proved not to be
true. The report may have arisen from
the fact that several officers have gone
out to that region in search of the tugi-
tives.
Detectives Will Smith of the Southern
Pacific and Thacker Of Wells Fargo got
in this morning from the north, and at 8
o'clock started for Hollywood. About 10
O'Clock a telephone message was received
from them announcing their arrival at
Hollywood and asking if anything fur
ther had been heard here. They stated
that they would proceed from there at
once on the search.
United States Marshal Gard and De-
tectives Thacker and viii Smith returned
at late hour last night from @n all-day
search for the train robbers.
They made no arrests and say that the
search was absolutely fruitless. nothing
more being known now than on the
morning after the wreck.

New YORK, Feb. 19.-A Herald dis

almost without ammunition, and Nicara-

PULLED DOWN A FRENCH FLAG.
Wealthy Citizen of the Island of
Riatea Ordered Shot.

a wealthy Citizen OF the Island or
Riatea Ordered Shot.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.-The Chronicle
prints story received by private letter
on the brig Galilee of revolt on the
Island of Riatea, one of the Society group
in the South Seas. On December 9th
last the rebels pulled down French flag
on the newly erected Government build
ing.
The trouble grew out of difficulty be-
tween the supporters of the French Colo
NAL Government and native traders, who
are daily growing more jealous of the
Frenchmen and their growing CONNER
cial influence. Immediately after the oc-
currence the French transport Durance
was dispatched to the island from Papeete,
and the commander ordered that if the
man who hauled down the flag was not
surrendered the town would be blown off
its coral foundation. The rebel, who hap
pened to be a wealthy citizen, was sur
rendered and taken on board the vessel,
which sailed at once for the penal settle
ment OF New Caledonia. 1t had been or
| dered from Papeete that he be shot five
days after his arrival at New Caledonia,
and there is every reason to believe the
order was carried out.
similar uprising took place about
two years ago, when the French first
seized the island. The natives were then
sllenced. however, by war vessel dis
patched from Papeete. This latest dis
turbance occurred when the French flag
was hoisted on the new town hall at
Riatea. When the rebel faction discov-
cred the tricolor they cast lots to see who
should break into the building and pull
down the flag. 1t fell TO the unfortunate
citizen who was subsequently delivered
up by the malcontents TO be shot.

lican Committee, have been productive
of many political conjectures concerning
the future of Ohio's popular Chief
Executive. During the past week many
leaders in the State have been in Column
bus to attend the banquet of the Lincoln
League.
On what appears to be reliable intor-
nation, it is said tonight that no agree
ment as to the next candidate for United
States Senator has been reached, as 1t
seems certain that Senator Brice will be
succeeded by Republican. EX-Gov-
ernor Foraker is again recognized as
pirant for Senatorial honOrs, and on this
account, according to the story, the Lead
ers were unable to agree. This failure, IL
is said, will result in the candidacy OF
Governor Mckinley, whose term will eX-
pire year from next January, when the
Senator will be elected.
The Governors friends, while not ad-
mitting the correctness of the statement
say there is need of a man like Major Me-
Kinley in the Senate to give the people
confidence and restore the prosperous
period that prevailed prior to the advent
of the Democratic Administration. The
indications point to the probable candl-
dacy of the Governor, whose consent
would be almost certain to result In his
election.
