TRAIN STEALERS CAUGHT,
Captured by United States Marshal Neely
and Returned to Denver.


and Returned to Denver.
ELLIS, Kan, June 5.-Some more
Colorado wealers are about to get
into trouble with the United States
government. The army that took
possession of a Union Pacific freight
train at Watkins, Col, arrived at this
plae Saturday afternoon. where
the train was stopped by order of the
railroad company. The commonweal-
ers then boarded another train. which
was ready to start eastward. but the
trainmen side-tracked the cars occu-
pied by the invaders aud pulled ahead
without them.
The Union Pacific being in the hands
Of receivers, appointed by the United
States court, the officials of the road
complained to United States Judge c.
e. Foster of Topeka, who issued an
order enjoining the commonwealers
from interfering with the movement
Of the cOmpany's trains or otherwise
molesting its property. The order
was placed in the hands of United
States Marshal $. F. Nicely.
4 train was made up here last even
ing and the cOmmOnwealers allowed
to board it, so as to meet the mar
shaIs train at siding six miles east
Of here. On reaching the Coxey train
Marshal Nicely took a few men and
going to where they were seated on
top OF the box ears, commanded them
to get down. Captain Rolston asked
If they were prisoners. Marshal
Nicely replied that they were United
States prisoners, and the men at once
complied. They probably expected to
be taken East, and were rather pleased
at the arrest
Their hopes, however. were not
realized. They were ordered to climb
into two box cars, the engine started
west. and at s o'clock they were at
the place they had quilted an hour
before. Arrived here, the men were
put into baggage car connected
with the marshals train, a BODY of
deputies placed on guard, and they
were started for Denver, where they
will probably be released.
The captain and two lieutenants
were not allowed to 90 West. but
were taken to Leaven worth. and will
be held for trial.

FOR NATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Congressman Tiefer Prepares a Scheme
to Settle An Great Iabor uIsnutas

Congressman Tiefer Prepares Scheme
to Settle all Great Labor Disputes.
WASHINGTON, June "a bill for ad.
justing labor differences through a
national board of arbitration has been
formulated by Representative Kiefer
of Minnesota. 1t provides for the APP
pointment by the president of three
commissioners of arbitration who,
with the commissioner of labor
and the governor Of the state in which
labor controversy occurs will
compose the board of arbitration. In
order to secure the offices of the
board, application is first made TO the
governor, the form being set forth il
the bill. This may be made by en-
ployers or employees. In the latter
case it must be in behalf of at least
fifty employees of an organization hav-
ing 1000 members throughout the
country. If the governor is satisfied
that a conflict exists which cannot be
amicably settled, he applies to the
national board of arbitration to take
charge of it. The board assemblies
in the state capitol, hears evidence and
arbitrates the difference in the usual
manner. It's decisions are made as
binding as those of a federal court Of
law, provision being made for en-
forcing them. Pending the hearings
of the board the governor is clothed
with powers to preserve the peace
and suppress a strike.

Inc inventors OF Bullet Proof Coats Dis

LONDON, June 5.-Herr Dove. in
ventor of the so-called bullet proof
coat, has written a letter to the
Times, offering to forfeit the pur-
chase money to anyone who buys his
cuirass if it contains either iron or
steel He declares that his invention
is for sale at price much under the
100000 mentioned in the news
papers.
Mr.. Maxim, Of gun fame, whose lin
vention" of bullet proof material
was tested few days ago, has writ
ten to the papers stating that his first
letter declaring that he could in six
hours invent bullet proof material
superior to Herr Doves was merely a
joke. He still claims, however, that
he has produced a lighter shield which
IS Just as effective as Doves. He de.
clares that the whole subject of bull
let proof clothing is a far e. Prepared
steel, he says, is the best substance
IN the world for stopping bullets. He
adds that he has sufficient evidence
to convince that Doves cuiarass con-
tains hard plate.

STEELE& WALKER, WHOLESALE
GROCERS. ASSIGN.
LIABILITIES PLACED At S725,OOO.
The Assignment the Outgrowth of the
Schuster Failure Some Weeks Ago
The Announcement Followed by
Runs on Two Bcnks-It Is
Believed the Banks
viii Pull Through.

ST. JOSEPH, No., June Sat 4
o'clock this morning Steele & Walker,
wholesale grocers, made an assign
ment for the benefit of their creditors
to W. W. Wheeler and Beattie Weak
ley. At the same time D. NJ. Steele
and S. A. and j. w. Walker filed in
struments conveying all their private
property TO tie trustees for the bene-
fit of creditors. The branch at Wichita
was closed at the same time.
The liabilities of the firm are placed
at SIPS, 600 and it is claimed that the
assets will exceed this amount by a
good sum.
When it was announced that the
firm had made an assignment runs
were started on the First National and
Central Savings banks, in both of
which Steele and Walker were large
stockholders. Considerable excite
ment was caused and thousands of
dollars were drawn shortly after the
opening hour. In the case of the saw
ings bank depositors were allowed to
draw but $50, the thirty day rule
being enforced on all checks for a
larger amount At noon, when it be.
came evident that the banks had
plenty of money, the crowds of depos-
itOrs dwindled to a few dozen. 1t is
claimed that both banks will pull
through, and it is hardly likely the
runs will extend to any other banks or
last longer than to-day at most.
The firm was composed of D. NJ.
Steele, S. A. Walker and ]. A. Walker
and had been regarded as one of the
strongest in the West, D. NJ. Steele
having been rated at from $50, 900
to $1,000, 900.
At the time of the Schuster failure
several weeks ago, when 1t became
known that he was a heavy debtor to
the First N.tional bank, in which
bank Steele and Walker were both
large stockholders, the creditors of
the latter firm began pressing their
claims, and the failure of this morn
ing was the result.

TARIFF ON SUGAR.
Senator Vest Quotes Figures Against
Messrs. Sherman and Aldrich.


Messrs. Sherman and Aldrich.
/ WASHINGTON, June Thirteen SEN
ators-six Democrats and seven Re-
J publicans-were in the chamber To-
day when the senate entered upon
the tenth week of the tariff debate.
Mr.. Hoar suggested the absence Of
quorum, and twenty minutes were
spent waiting the arrival of the forty
three senators necessary to proceed
with business.
After a resolution providing for the
payment of the expenses of the bri-
berry and other investigating commit.
tees out of the contingent fund had
been adopted, the tariff bill was
taken up, the sugar schedule being
pending. Mr.. Vest took the
floor and made a brief explanation
concerning a controverted point as TO
the existence of the sugar trust
in 1890, Messrs. Aldrich and
Sherman having stated that the
present trust was not in existence
and that its stock was not listed on
the New York stock board. Mr.. Vest
adduced some authority to show
that $4,000 shares of the stock
of the sugar refining company were
sold in the market in New York in
1890, which at 500 per share repre-
sented over $500, 1000 600. He held
that he had as much right tointimate
that the sugar trust dictated the
sugar schedule in the Mckinley bill
as senators on the other side had to
impugn the action of the other side.
Mr.. Allison followed Mr.. Vest in
opposition to the schedule. Mr. Jones
favored it and Mr.. Teller argued in
favor of the bounty.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 5.-0regon is

members of congress and legislature
to choose a successor to United States
Senator Dolph. The Republicans
have made thorough canvass of the
state during the past six weeks. both
in way of sending out speakers and
organizing clubs. The Democrats
have never had any chance of winning
and have consequently not conducted
an aggressive campaign on the state
ticket.
The Populists have not been idle.
Governor Pennoyer who is an avowed
candidate for the senate, has traversed
the state from one end to the other
on behalf Of the Populists, making
speeches in almost every county seat.
1t Is believed that the three cornered
contest will result favorably to the
Republicans.
The legislature will, in all proba-
bility be very close. In many coun-
ties the Democrats and Populists have
fused on the legislative ticket and
the majority heretofore held by the
Republicans may be reduced if not
overcome.
