SUMMARY JUSTICE.
How Bandits Are Treated in Old
Mexico.-Taken OUT and Shot.

Tucson, Ariz., July '16-James A.
Crowley, one of the Americans held
up in the recent robbery of the Ma
casari stage in Sonora, Mex, arrived
today. Crowley states that he, with
Edward Woodruff, paymaster of the
Nacasari mine company, who was
returning from Ell Paso with money
to pay the miners, and a Mexican
named Moreno. were in the stage
when ii was ambushed by three men
on the road near Cochuta. Crowley
twas forced into the brush and rob-
bed, but Woodruff escaped to 4
neighboring canyon. The robbers,
however, secured Woodruff's valise
which contained $4,000 in Mexican
money and $1,000 in American gold.
The driver, who whipped up his
horses and tried to escape, was shot
dead. The robbery was reported to
the authorities and in twelve days,
by direction of the governor of Son
ora, President Frontereras was pIac-
ed under arrest. This was followed
shortly afterward by the arrest of
Tribola, his foreman, and two other
of his employees. Next morning
they were taken by Major Moldere,
one of the police, about six miles in
the direction of the scene OF the rob-
berry, and there shot by the roadside.
Fifteen hundred dollars of the stolen
money was found in The house of
Tribola. The man who robbed
Crowley in the bush escaped but was
subsequently captured and executed
in the presence of the whole town
of 0posura, who turned out to see
him shot. The authorities are said
/ To have the names of about forty men
who were more or less implicated in
the robbery and who are scattered
all over the country to avoid arrest.

He had just returned from New

OF atfais in the Orient and said;
"The war has left Japan in first

Is permanently assured in the

termination to stand by her
agreement and this will do much
10 win her favor in Japan. You
kear a great deal of talk about
Russias attitude and the prob
ability of a clash between ia
pan and Russia over boundary
settlement. That is nearly all
newspaper talk. Russia is
friendly to japan. If she were
not the treaty Of three weeks
ago would not have been com
pleled. 1t has been said that
Japan allowed Russia to impose
upon her the settlements under
threat of war. That is wrong.
Japan is not afraid OF Russia,
hut she is consistent. Russia
asked certain things and they
were granted. Russia to-day is
as friendly to Japan as the
United States is and so no war
is in sight.

reason for the shipment was
stated to be that the Mex

from the change i'm climate,
while great losses had occur

of South Texas, while prefer

BERLIN, May l6.-In spite of
the fact that the chancellor, Prince
Hohenlohe, deprecated the matter,
the upper house of the Prussian
Diet, by vote of 72 to 80, adopt
ed the resolution of Count Won
Mirbach in favor Of steps being
taken for the prompt settlement Of
the currency question by an agree
ment as to international bimetal-
ism.
During the course Of the debate
the governor of the Reichstag
warmly opposed the motion and
informed the federal government
that they would thereby create dis
aster and disturbances.
Prince Hohenlohe stated that
the Prussian ministry had not yet
decided what course to pursue, but
he adheres to his statement in the
Reichstag that the government
would submit the silver qustion to
further examination in consonance
with the federal government, and
was also willing, ultimately, to
meet the other powers and discuss
commercial measures 10, be taken
But, first of all, the basis Of the
discussion, he insisted, must be
definitely settlon upon.
Continuing, the chancellor said
that so soon as the answer to the
governments watch had been con-
suited was received, renewed at
tempts would be made to continue
an information change Of views
upon the subject. Therefore he
advised the house, If 1t did not
wish to support the affair, to adopt
Herr Becker's amendment, which
struck out that part of Count Mir
bach's motion which demanded
that Germany take the initiative
Prince Hohenlohe's advice, how.
ever, was ignored and the amend,
ment was rejected by a vote of Y
to 38, and later Count Mirbach's
motion in favor of steps being
taken upon the part Of the govern.
ment for the prompt settlement oI
the currency question by an agree
ment as to international bimetal
lism was adopted by the same
figures.
