date from ottawa, as it has been decided
by Premier Greenway to adjourn the
house till May g. The decision of the
government to adjourn the legislature
comes as a surprise to those not in the
confidence Of the executive, as the general
impression was that the house would
proceed with consideration of the rene
dial order to-day or tomorrow. a MEM
Der of the cabinet was asked what the
object of the government was in moving
for an adjournment His reply was that
the remedial order on schools was too
important a matter involving, as it does,
great vital issues, to be dealt with pre-
cipitately by the house. During the re-
cess the government will have the re-
qured opportunity of studying out the
situation and take advice from leading
constitutional attorneys respecting the
status of the Legislature in the premises.
Premier Greenway is expected to make
statement to the legislature.

that place last night Passenger train
No a. which left Popular Bluffs at 1875
p. m. was held up at WHiamsville. a
station about twenty miles north Of that
place. at 1l:9O o'clock last night.
As the train neared a lonely spot a
short distance from WiIiamsville some
one pulled the bell rope and the train
came to a halt. Two men, one OF whom
had a red handkerchief over his face. and
the other a mask Of some black material.
forced the porter at the point Of revolvers
10 uncouple the engine, mail and express
cars from the train and compelled En-
gineer Maths 10 run a short distance
up the track with them.
The robbers then proceeded to the ex-
press car and ordered the messengers to
open the safe. The leader of the gang,
a man about six feet in hight and heavily
built, placed a revolver at the messengers
head and with an oath ordered him to
unlock the safe. I'VE are desperate and
will stand no monkeying," he exclaimed
to the frightened messenger. The mes
senger informed the desperadoes that he
could not open the through safe, as he
did not have the combination. He or
ened the local safe. but there was no
money in it,
Meantime an alarm had been given and
the citizens were arming themselves. The
robbers becoming frightened jumped from
the train and ran through the woods.
Before they left, however, they secured
Conductor Webb's gold watch.
1t is believed that the hold up was the
work Of farmers living in the vicinity.
Sheriff Hogg at once summoned a posse
and is now on the trail of the robbers.
1t is expected that they will soon be
captured, as the train men are able TO
give a full description of them. The train
reached st. Louis at o'clock this morn
ing. The passengers were not the least
excited, in fact, many of them did not
know Of the affair until this morning.

PEACE IN THE POLICE BOARD.

COMPROMISE.

tanned in Omce-CaPt. English 10
Continue as Chairman - Nester-
days Session Tame.
Atlanta. Ca. March 2S.-Although no
one viii say what the terms OF the COM
promise are. 1t is believed to-day from
the statements Of the commissioners that
an adjustment of the troubles Of the po-
lice board has about been reached. and
white-winged peace viii soon reign in that
sanctum again. Which side has backed
down is not yet apparent. and will not
be in evidence until the election for men,
bers Of the force takes place on Satur-
day. though it is likely that there have
been concessions on both sides. The Odds
however, are in favor of the English fac
ton and it is predicted by the knowing
ones that he will be chairman and all Of
his favorites from Chief Connolly down
will be retained in Office.
The board held a meeting this morning
which was entirely harmonious. Capt
English presided without dispute and
when it was over both sides said the
public might rest assured that the new po-
lice force would be regularly elected by
y o'clock Saturday noon, and the city
would be safe.
When the board requested the news
paper reporters to retire from the room
this morning for the purpose Of holding
an executive session Walter Taylor, repre-
senting the Evening Commercial which
paper has been leading the fight on
Chairman English. entered a vigorous
protest. He told Chairman English that
he was making a bad break in trying TO
throttle the press. He also declared that
heretofore the newspaper representatives
had been treated as gentlemen by the
board and allowed to remain during all
sessions, and he for one did not propose
10 be fired out without registering his OBJ
lection. Chairman English had his way,
however and the reporter had to go.
Evidently the commissioners are asham-
ed Of their disgraceful conduct Of Mon
day and do not want the public to have
a full view of them in any such light again.
Chief of Police Connolly has issued an
order requiring the policemen to refrain
from discussing the troubles of the board.

The rumors that the Seaboard Air Line
is to gobble up the Jacksonville, Tampa

men understand the situation too clearly

board would find a line from Jacksonville
to Sanford of little value to 1t without
friendly close connections, and these 1t
could not get. All the lines in Florida are
so linked to the Southern and Coast Line
that they are naturally antagonistic to
