A CLEVELAND BABY.
ANOTHER GIRL ADDED TO THE PRES.
 DENTS FAMILY.

The Arrival at GrN Gables Does Not Dis
 turb the Presidents Fishing-what the
 Stars Say the New Baby's Future VIII
 Be-To Marry a Distinguished Man.
 BuzzARDs BAY, Mass, July S.-Therc is a new baby at Gray Gables. Just before o'clock Sunday night news reached the village that a girl baby had been born at that place This report was soon veri- fed by Dr. Bryant who announced that the happy event occurred at 4:30 p. m., and that both mother and little enc were doing as well as could be expected.
 This Is the third child to be born into the presidents family, and all of them are girls Ruth is years old and Esther 3. Only passing glance could be obtained from the president, but that was sufficient to note an expression of satisfaction on the face of the chief executive, although it was an open secret that boy baby would not have been unwolcome.
 Mrs. Cleveland's mother. Mrs. Perrine, Is expected to arrive from Buffalo this week.
 BUzzARDs BAY, Mass, July 9.-In com pany with Joseph Jefferson and Charles B. Jefferson, MT. Cleveland spent nearly all day Monday trout fishing at East Sand wich, where MT. Jefferson has . private stream. The party left early ip the day and did not return until nearly 6 o'clock.
 Ruth and Rseher did not drive with their nurses to the village, as they have done almost every day since their arrival at Gray Stables, nor were the horses sent to the postoffice, but a messenger was dis patched on foot after the mail The ohil- dren remained at their play, often chatter ing as they raR about the piazzas and lawn over the little sister go recently in- troduced to them. Both children seem de- lighted with the idea of having another little ono la the household.
 The people of Buzzards Bay are par ticuIarly elated at the fame acquired by their quiss village through being the birthplace of the presidents daughter, and many complimentary things have been said concerning the fair mistress of che White House ths good housewives of Buzzartfs Bay giving her great credit for having decided to come to Gray Gables in- stead of remaining ss Toodlsy for the summer.
 Telesrams of oongratulation continued to arrive all day, and the president, after his return from East Sandwich, devoted the evening to Perusal of them. Te an inquiry as to the condition of Mrs. Cleve- land and the baby Dr. Bryant reiterated his former words, Mother and baby are both doing well. "

TO REACH An AGREEMENT.
Overland Roads in a Way to Adjust
Differences.
Outline of the Plan Under Which the
California Business Will Be
Divided.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-There is a strong
probability that the differences of the
Union Pacific and the Western trunk lines
will be adjusted at the meeting tomorrow.
1t is expected that the Union Pacific will
abandon its claim for the long haul busi-
ness passing through the Denver and Og-
den gateways, and that as consequence
the boycott against it will be lifted.
Neither side of the controversy is pre-
pared to say IN advance of the meeti8 G
what action will be taken concerning the
Puget Sound business. On this the Alton
and the Northwestern are standing stoutly
by the Union Pacific, and believe they
viii at least receive very material conces-
sions, probably in tomorrow meeting.
The committee of the Western trunk
lines appointed to formulate passenger
agreement for the control of the California
business has completed its task, and the
plan will be considered at a meeting of all
the lines interested which will be held next
Thursday. The agreement denies to local
agents authority to meet outside compe-
tition unless through public notice of in
tention to meet such rates.
Street commissions are forbidden as is all
dealing with brokers. Provision for free
sleeping-car berths, free meals and the
carriage of excess of baggage are to be con-
sidered as cut rates.
Thirty days notice is required of any
road seeking to withdraw from the agree
ment.

AqI Effort by Republican Senators to
Block Legislation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-To-day's brief fill
buster in the Senate, which was precipita-
ted by Senator Chandler's motion to de-
clare the seat of Senator Martin of Kansas
vacant, was the beginning of the tactics
which some Of the Republican Senators
have decided upon for the purpose of de-
laying legislation, and is SO recognized by
the Democrats and so confessed by some of
the Republicans.
Senator Chandler, when asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of the meaning of his resolution,
replied: 1--WE mean to get Martin out of
it if we can, and after it is accomplished to
get Roach unseated and have Republicans
elected in their places. With this done
and with the new Wyoming and Montana
Republican Senators seated, and with the
Washington vacancy filled by Republicans,
we will then not only have the Democrats
in minority, but viii come near having a
Republican majority.
1--WE will then bring relief to the country
by settling the financial problem, which
the Democrats have shown themselves in
capable of doing while in the majority"
Chandler declared himself in earnest.
Senator Faulkner did not regard the tlll-
buster as a serious matter and said it was
intended to temporarily delay matters
until the Democrats should announce their
order of business, which would be done

preceded by three Pullman coaches. The
purpose of the defense was directed to an
attempt to show that the mail-pouches
were placed in the baggage-car with the
intention of securing the arrest of the
strikers interfering for a violation OF the
United States laws.
At the close of the examination of the
last witness Judge Grosscup announced
that in the future he would allow but one
counsel for the defense to cross-examine
witnesses as the interests of the defendants
were common. The purpose of the ruling
was to expedite the progress Of the trial.
The Government will conclude its side of
the issue Monday. Evidence was given to
the effect that Merwin threw the switch
under the train, knowing it was carrying
mail.

DYNAMITE USED TO OPEN THE SAFE.

DYNAMITE USED TO OPEN THE SAFE.

Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 31.-Last night South
ern Pacific train 20, the west-bound passen-
ger, due here about midnight, was held
up and the express safe robbed. More
damage than the looting of the safe, the
destruction of the safe proper and the
blowing of good-sized piece of the express
car rool skyward was not done. No one
was hurt and not shot was fired. Four
men did the work.
Just out of Wilcox man made the de-
mand of brakeman, using a six-shooter
as a persuader that the train be cut in two
back of the baggage-car. This was done,
and the men on the engine compelled En-
gineer Ze1gler to run out four miles and
stop. Meanwhile Express Messenger
Mitchell had noticed that all was not right,
that the train was cut in two and he re-
allied that holdup was at hand. He ac-
cordingly bundled all his local money and
valuable into a package, dropped them
from the car and followed them himself,
securing the door after him. He went
back, found his package, made for Wilcox
and gave the alarm.
The train was in the meantime brought
to stop about four miles west of Wilcox.
The plunderers then went to the express
car. Receiving no response to their call
they exploded seven shots of dynamite be-
fore the safe gave way. There was the
money, the gold twenties and the crisp
greenbacks. These they possessed them
selves of. A grim joke was then played by
the robbers.
Among the coin was $4,000 "dobie" dol
lars As Mexican money has little value
in less than ton lots, and as the robbers
had no drays with them they had no use
for the stuff and so they made heap of it,
put a stick of dynamite under it and
touched it off. Only 700 of the $4,000 dol
lars have been found. They went through
telegraph poles, cars and, in fact, flew
everywhere.
The whole job took an hour and quar-
ter. At daylight this morning posse took
the trail. 1t was headed down the Sulphur
Springs Valley toward Mexico. The Off
GERS believe they know the point the rob-
bers were making for, and took short cut.
An early capture is expected. Two of the
men are said to have been recognized.
Both are Bisbee men, one of them by the
name of Walker. They bought the dyna-
mite in Wilcox. 1t is said two of them
held the horses while the other robbers
looted the train. How much the robbers
got away with there is no telling.

SECOND DAY OF DEBATE.
Leaves the Funding Bill in Rather
Bad Shape.

ure'S Fate.
DAMAGED BY .BOATNER OF LOUISIANA.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The second days
battle in the House against the Reilly
funding bill closes with Huntington and
his crowd badly scared. Every California
member believes the situation is immeas-
urably better than it was three days ago.
The very effective speech of Harris yester-
day and this morning, and of Messrs.
Boatner and Cooper to-day, have had great
influence. The members have crowded
around these speakers and listened very
intently to the words spoken. Their utter
ances have been applauded with hearth
ness and sincerity indicative that very
large proportion of the Representatives are
against the bill. The speeches of Reilly,
Powers and other advocates of the bill
have been coldly received, and when Coop
er of Wisconsin closed his speech to-day
he was SO warmly congratulated by men,
bers that it was almost an ovation.
All of this greatly encourages the oppo-
nents of the bill. Mcguire, who is well
known for his conservatism, said to the
CALL correspondent tonight: ~ am not
too confident, but will say that the pros
poets have frightened very perceptibly." !"
English is encouraged. Caminetti is
eiated, while Geary admits that the vote
will be closer than he expected.
Boatner said: "We are gaining friends
every hour. Cooper's speech to-day made
us at least twenty votes. I am very much
encouraged"
Chairman Reilly acknowledges that the
vote will be close. He evidently realizes
he has the worst side of bad case, for he
said to the~CALL correspondent: "There
is a vast amount of prejudice against cor
porations in this House, and then many
members are talking of politics at home,
and how they would explain their action
to their constituents should they vote for
this extension of the railroad debt. They
are afraid of being held accountable. /
dfow that one member said TO me: /
think your bill is a good one, but l can't
support it, for my constituents are rail-
road prejudiced people If it were not for
the fight being made by California my bill
would pass easily. As it is, cannot even
conjecture what the result will be-"
Mr.. Reilly is quite sensitive over what
he calls the suspicion and unjust imputa-
tions cast upon him in some quarters on
account of his authorship and manage
ment of the funding bill. He says he
wishes heartily he had never had anything
to do with it, for besides years arduous
work on it, he has been subjected to end
less criticism and suspicion. "I suppose, !"
said he, 'that if this bill should pass, Cali
fornia people would burn me in effigy, and
if l went out there they would want to
mob me.''
Mr.. Reilly was asked whether in his
opinion the railroad was bringing any i'm
proper influence to bear on members of
Congress.

proceeded but a few miles when two men
climbed over the tender of the engine and
compelled the engineer to stop the train,
enforcing their demands at the point OF a
revolver.
After the train had come to stop the
robbers compelled the fireman and a brake
man to cut off the mail and express-cars,
and these were then run down the track
some distance when the express car was
entered and the safe blown open with
dynamite. The force of the explosion
seriously damaged the car, blowing off a
portion of the roof.
After the cars had been detached a
brakeman on the train walked back to
Wilcox, about six miles distant, and gave
the alarm, and means were at once adopted
to apprehend the thieves.
It's supposed that the men engaged in
the robbery had been working on cattle
ranches in the vicinity, and the kilograms
to Mr. Fillmore give their names and de-
scriptions, which are as follows:
Joe George, height feet 8 inches, weight
about 140 pounds, aged between 80 and 35,
who came into Arizona from Oklahoma
about a year ago.
Jim Yates, height 5 feet inches, weight
about $50 pounds, age from % to 30.
Grant Wheeler, height feet Z inches,
weight about las pounds, age from 80 to 35.
One Taylor, first name unknown, who is
characterized particularly as being small
man with lame leg.
John Woods, height 6 feet, weight about
180 pounds, age perhaps 35.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 31.-Under the head
ing of Important Rectifcations," the
Mexican official Government daily says to-
day: "Some of the newspapers of this city,
on the authority of or information from
the United States, have said that the
Washington Government desires to inter
vene in our question with Guatemala.
although intending to publish at the
proper time the correspondence on this
subject, we are authorized to state that
according to telegram dated the 21st
and q telegram from the same gentleman
dated the 28th, the Secretary of State of
the United States declares that he has
expressed no opinion regarding the ad-
visibility of proposing to the Government
of Mexico that it withdraw some of its
demands, and Mexico has not advised
Guatemala that the Government of the
United States does not care to intervene in
that question nor impose conditions, mas
much as Mexico has a right to act as it
thinks best. We make haste to publish
this rectifcation, in order to save our con-
temporaries from making comments on
incorrect news"
The newspaper correspondents were as
sured at the palace that this would put an
end, for the present at least, to the rumors
flying thick and fast of the intervention OF
the United States in the Guatemalan
question. The Spanish papers of this
capital bitterly assail the intended med
ding on the part of the United States and
brand the effort as being entirely unjust
and uncalled for.
The authoritative statement from the
Government in its official daily to-day will
cause much rejoicing that the northern
republic will keep its hands off and that
Mexico and Guatemala will be left alone
to fight the question out among them
selves so far as the United States is con-
