Il and One Captured.

GEEENwooD, KY, March 27.-One Of
the most daring and at the same time
most unsuccessful attempts at train
robbery occurred at 2:3O O'Clock a. m.
Wednesday, in the southern portion OF
Kentucky, near Greenwood, when sl1
men undertook to rob the south-bound
train. No. 8, Queen and Crescent, which
left Cincinnati at o'clock Tuesday
night.
One Killed Outright.
One of the six was killed outright,
another died at 4 o'clock Wednesday
morning, third giving the name OF
Miller now lies here severely wounded
and the other three have not been heard
of. NJ
The train was delayed not more than
ten minutes and reached Chattanooga
at s o'clock a. m. Wednesday on time.
Wore Forewarned.
The reason for this summary disposal
of body of train robbers is found IN
the fact that some tidings OF their pur-
pose had been given to the express au.
thorities and Mr.. T. R. Griffin, who
serves as a superintendent OF police on
the Southern road, had with him two
trusty assistants.
The train had just reached the south
end of tunnel No. 9, which is mile
north Of Greenwood, when the robbers
signaled it to stop.
Got Lead Instead Of COLD.
They had scarcely disclosed their
purpose when Mr.. Griffin and his assist
ants ON the train began offensive oper-
ations and in ten minutes three of the
robbers had bitten the dust, the other
three had flown and the train was
speeding on it's way.
Not single injury was suffered by
anyone on the train. The treasure in
care of the Adams Express companys
messenger was entirely safe.
Adams Express Messenger Happy.
CINCINNATI, March 27.-General Man
aper Barrett, of the Adams Express
company, says he looks upon the
defeat of the train robbers at
Greenwood as an important
event. The express company has adopt
ed the plan of secret service to pro-
tect its property against robbers.
This is the first result of the
new method. While it is costly,
it is infinitely more effective than
any amount of lynx-eyed detective
business employed to arrest and pun
ish robbers. Prevention, he thinks,
in this matter, is better than cure.

bers could have had no knowl.

HE NO VII 4



Thurston, Of Hawaii, IS about to depart
for Honolulu He leaves Washington
to-day or tomorrow, and will sail
from San Francisco on April 4 on the
steamer Arrowa.
Mr.. Thurston broke silence Tuesday
for the first time since the recent re-
ports Of Secretary Gresham's demands
for his recall, and gave out the follow
ing authorized statement: az
Has Not Been Recalled.
1T have received no Conformation from my gov
eminent or from Nh. Gresham that my recall
has been requested, and up to the present
time there has been no change IN
my official relations with the state de-
partment Whether my recall has been
requested or not do not know. In any event
shall not remain In Washington There e
nothing OF especial importance to keep me
here at present, while there are several mat
tiers requiring my attention at home shall
therefore return to Honolulu Immediately
leaving San Francisco April -. s1a#
Reached Decision Suddenly.
Mr.. Thurston reached this conclusion
somewhat suddenly, and announced
his intention to friends while making
farewell visits Monday afternoon.
He declined to discuss his case in any
manner, and merely said that he would
start for San Francisco Wednesday and
take the steamer sailing next week tor
Honolulu.
Mr.. Hastings Left in Charge.
None of the attaches Of the legation
would discuss the reasons on which
Mr., Thurston had decided to return
home. For the present Mr.. Hastings
will be in charge of the lega-
ton. Rulnors are current to the
effect that he may be appointed min
lister. 1t is also reported that Mr.,
Thurston will become the Hawaiian
secretary Of foreign affairs, and that
Mr.. Hatch will represent his govern
ment at Washington.
May Not Come Back.
Mr.. Thurston's departure puts an
end to previous comment as to his pur
pose to remain in Washington as q
thorn in the side of the state depart
ment. His statement does not
make clear, however, whether hie
absence is temporary Or perma'
nent and the minister will not &c
into details. 1t is regarded as final
however, in showing that he will not
seek to remain in Washington
as source of any irritation
There have been reports, believed
however, to be baseless, that i
he persisted in remaining in a private
capacity, the law would be evoked tc
have him deported, but Mr.. Thurston's
statement is regarded as settling that
there will be no occasion for forcing
him out of the country.
Shrewd Diplomatic Move.
In some quarters Mr.. Thurston'l
move is regarded as shrewd diplo
matte stroke. It is recalled that ht
left unexpectedly fifteen laonths agt
when the question of restoring
the queen to the throne was Al
critical stage in Hawaii. The
Hawaiian government was on the point
Of reaching a decision, but had moi
vet done SO. At this juncture Mr
Thurston left Washington sudden
ly, his departure not being known
until he was well on the way to Sar
Francisco. He had full information al
to the sentiment in the United State!
and when he reached Hawaii his ad
vice had much to do in the final actor
of the government.
