GORDON (Texas), Oct. 19.-No. 3 pas
senger train on the Texas and Pacific,
due at Gordon at 1918 p. NJ, and while
on time, was robbed by four men to-day,
few minutes before noon, three miles
west of Gordon. The tram being stopped
at such an unusual place, J. w. Cooper of
Gordon, passenger, sprang off on the
north side to learn the cause of the de-
tention. He was greeted with a gruff
command to get back on the train. Be-
lIevlng it the joke of an acquaintance, he
answered with laugh, but Immediately
the robbers enforced their command by
leveling two long guns on him.
-Four men, unmasked, approached the
section gang and forced them to obstruct
the road and flag the train as it APP
preached, and when the train was stopped
the bandits forced the express messenger
to open the door of his car. They also
forced the section men TO go into the car
with sledge-hammer and try to batter
the combination off the express safe, but
their efforts TO open the safe were un-
fruitful. The messengers safe was bat
tered open, and whatever money there
was IN 1t was taken by the robbers. The
amount secured, it is estimated, runs
anywhere between $500 and $1,000.
Tomorrow being payday at Thurber
for large number of hands that work in
the mines, there was in the combination
safe $50, 900, consigned to the Pacific Coal
Company.
Suspicious characters have been seen
for the past month or so in that section,
and the express company was prepared
for the attack. They had on the train one
OF their special combination safes, to
which no agent along the road knows the
combination. The company had man
back in the coach who knew the combi-
nation, and who could go forward at sta
tions where he was needed and open the
safe. The passengers and InaIl car were
not molested.
After the robbery was committed the
four robbers walked away toward the
woods whistling, going in a southerly di-
reCtiOn.
The Texas and Pacific Coal Company
OF Ihurber has offered $500 reward for
the capture of the robbers. The train
was IN charge of Conductor J. H. Nc
Leod, and the express car in charge of
Messenger Gay.
There were no shots fired during the
robbery, and it is considered one OF the
boIdest train-robberies recorded in the
country Tor long time. 1t is thought
the robbers are from the Indian Terri
tory, and are now on their way back

CoMsroCK MINING SUITS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. I9.-The long
pending suits begun by Theodore Fox
against the Consolidated California and
Virginia Mining Company and the mill
ionaires who control it, bids fair to be
settled at last. The defendants, John W.
Mackay, John P. Jones and others, who
have all along claimed to regard the

neyS for the defense will serve notice on
the plaintiff of their intention to ask the
Judge before whom the cases are pend

ground that the plaintiffs are black mail
ers who are not suing in good faith for
the benefit ofall the stock holders, as they
assert in their complaint. Fox In his
suits against Mackay, Jones and others
charges ali sorts of fraud in the manage

IN one case and 1000 in another. These

A DISABLED BARK.

Her Owners Charged With Planning
TO Wreck the Vessel.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.-The bark
Adalgusia, from Callao for Humboldt,
put into this port to-day in a disabled
condition. She was launched in 1886,
and since that date the crew say not a
cent has been spent for repairs. Mate
Richard Roberts says the bark's owners,
BuchelH & Loera, deliberately planned
to wreck the ship, which was heavily
insured, and to drown the crew. He
says the sailors were all shipped under
fictitious names, so that they could never
be traced. The ship was provided with
dummy provisions and water Tor only
thirty days.
The bark sailed from Callao on July
29th, and ii the rain had not supplied
water the crew must have perished. a
big box labeled provisions when opened
contained nothing but scraps of iron,
shavings and oil cans. Every man of the
crew is of a different nationality. When
they arrived in port they were feartully
emaciated with hunger. The Mate says
the only sound thing about the bark is
the ships boat, on which the owners
planned that the Captain and Mate should
escape. The Peruvian Consul will not
allow the Adalagusia to leave port. She
Is totally unseawOrthy, and Will be sold
to pay the crew. The cargo Of lum Der
from Hum boldt will never be shipped.

PELAGIC SEALING.

Report OF the inspectors Appointed by
the Treasury Department..
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The inspectors
of pelagic seal skins at San Francisco,
appointed for the purpose by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, have reported to the
department the number of skins taken
by the pelagic sealers during the last sea-
son and brought to San Francisco. The
whole nlmber of skins examined was
If, 794, and of this number 9,239 were
tax en- from females, 1895 from males aud
400 from pups, six unknown. Ii the
same proportion of females existed among
the pups taken as among the old seals, the
whole number of females taken proba-
bly, did not fall short of Is, 900, out of a
total of 14,704. These figures only con-
firm the Treasury officials in their opin-
ion that vigorous measures will have to
be adopted to prevent the total destruc-
ton OF the sealing industry. Assistant
Secretary Hamlin, who recently made
thorough personal investigation of tho
whole subject, will shortly make his re-
port to Secretary Carlisle. While declin-
ing TO be interviewed on the subject, it is
believed in his forthcoming report he will
express the opinion that nothing short Of
total cessation of the sealing for a term
OF years can prevent the annihilation of
the seal herds.

in poor health for several months. and

his health. Mr.. Dekum was about 10

Los ANGELES, Oct. 19. - Victor and
Francisco Maldonado, who were tried in
February last for attempting 10 derail a
train on the Terminal Railroad on
October II, 1893. and against whom the
jury found verdict of maliciously OBJ
structing said road, and who were SEN
fenced by Judge Smith to San Quentin
for five years each, are now endeavoring
to regain their liberty by means of writ
of habeas corpus filed to-day. At the
time of the sentence the attorneys for the
Maldonada boys obtained certificate OF
probable cause and then appealed the
case to the Supreme Court. That body
affirmed the Judgment of the lower court.
The petitioners now claim that they had
no notice of the order to dismiss the ap-
peal, made by a Deputy Attorney-Gen-
eral, nor no notice of aflirmance of the
judgment of the lower court until more
than thirty days had elapsed, no time in
which 10 move the Supreme Court to set

DIPLOMATIC MOVEMENTS.
LONDON, Oct. 19.-The DafEg NeaUS
publishes this semi-of1icial statement:
y day or two after the last Cabinet
council China informed Great Britain
that she was prepared to negotiate for
peace on certain terms. Great Britain
made overtures to the Powers on a new
basis of negotiation, and asked Japan
whether the terms would form the basis
of negotiations for peace.
Japan did not reply definitely, but has
not rejected the proposals. A majority Of
the Powers are in accord with Great
Britain, and there is likelihood that the
others will assent. The Intervention is
purely diplomatic, and is offered to both
combatants in the friendliest manner.

The cruiser Detroit, which sailed from

left behind about twenty-five of her crew
who had deserted while the vessel Law at

caused III great part by the over-crowd-

portable quarters for about $50 men.
whereas she left here with crew of al
most double that number. The dread of
the long cruise of 5000 miles which the
Detroit is to make, the most of which
will be on the Asiatic station, and the un-
certainty regarding her return to Amer
lea, operated to cause the desertions.
There have also been several attempts TO
desert from the Montgomery, now living
at Norfolk, due to alleged ill-treatment
which the men received at the hands of
her commander. One OF the crew who
tried to desert, but was detected, told
