ing to Rob.
Tucson, Ariz., February 27.-When
the westbound overland reached Stein
Pass tonight, soon after 6 O'Clock, two
masked men appeared on the station
platform armed with six-shooters. One
of them entered the engine cab and COW
evered the fireman and engineer, while
the other commanded a brakeman to
cut off the car next to the engine and
tender. AS soon as this was done the
engineer was ordered to proceed. When
they had gone three miles they stopped.
The bandits carried sack full of what
appeared to be dynamite. This they
placed beside the roadbed when the en-
CINE stopped and then discovered that
they had left the express car behind.
The bandits INDUCED in considerable
strong language and then, mounting
horses that were fastened to tree near
by, they rode to the south. The engine
and car returned to the rest of the train.
The passengers, as is always the case,
were scared nearly to death. Many
crawled under their seats and remained
there until assured that the danger was
over. Southern Pacific Detective
Breckenridge left here tonight for the
scene. He is OF the opinion that the at
tempted robbery was not committed by
the two men who held up the overland
some weeks ago at Wilcox. He says
the holdup was the work OF very green
hands

THE LAST FROM CHINA.
HOWE, the Captured American, Will Be
Severely Treated.

LONDON, February 26.-The Central
News agency's correspondent in Toxic
says the naval reports from Wei Hal
Wei mention eleven foreigners, who
were captured with the island forts sur
rendered by the Chinese. Ten of them
swore to take no further part in the
present war. George HOWE, the Amer
lean who came to the East with scheme
to blow up Japanese vessels with sub
marine Internal machines, has been de-
tanned aboard the Japanese flagship,
pending the decision of his fate. The
Japanese made a reservation as TO
HOWE in the articles of capitulation.
They are inclined to treat him severely,
for he was let 60 on parole after his ar
rest aboard the city of Sydney yet lost
no time in breaking his word and plac-
in his services at the disposal of the Chi
nese.
The japanese marines, who were killed
in the early torpedo attacks on the Chi
nese feet at Wei Hal Wei, were buried
with military honors.
The Japanese reports speak highly of
Admiral Ting and the orders which he
wrote Just before his suicide to direct the
course of his officers in completing the
arrangements for the surrende-.

THE DEATH OF DOUGLASS.
Just What Action Was Taken by the
Legislature of North Carolina.

RALEIGH, \. c., February 26.-Ihere
is wide misunderstanding over 3 So
called Douglass adjournment by tie
general assembly OF North Carolina,
and in connection with it there have
been statements which do not present
the matter accurately. The actual facts
are as follows:
The day after the death of Frederick
Douglass colored re=entative named
Crews offered a resolution providing
that the house adjourn at II noon as a
mark of respect to Mr.. Douglass. Mr..
Cruptor, a Populist, offered an amend
ment to make the hour O'Clock, which
was the regular hour for adjournment.
Speaker Walser ruled the amendment
and resolution both out of order, saying
that the house would not adjourn until
the business of the day was disposed of.
He then suggested that motion might
be made that when it did adjourn. 1t
would be as mark OF respect. A stand
ing vote on a motion to this effect was
taken and carried. The senate branch
of the legislature took no notice what
ever of the death of Douglass.

ONE MORE EXPOSURE.
A Sensation Among the Spiritualists of
Cincinnati.

A Sensation Among the Spir1tuahsts Oh
Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, February H.-The Spirit
ualisss of this city are in an uproar over
the exposure as fraud of one of their
most brilliant mediums. Even the lead
ing Spiritualists admit her materializa-
tons were of the rankest sort. The most
unpleasant exposure, and one that is
likely to result in a damage suit and a
criminal suit is this: The mediums
name is Mrs. Nellie Ulrich. A Mrs.
ReaTer, of Portsmouth, had wayward
daughter, who is supposed to be In this
CITY. She desired her to come home,
and Mrs. Ulrich agreed to locate the girl
and exert a charm that would cause her
to return to her mother. Considerable
money was spent, and the medium sent
letters telling of progress. An accidental
discovery by the mother led her to in
vestigate. and she learned that her
daughter had not been in this city, and
was in another city, 400 miles away, and
dangerously i'll. Mrs. Ulrich says q
spirit deceived her.

BRISTOL, r. l., February 27.-Ihe
latest information from the HerreshoH
works is so positive in its character as
to leave no reasonable doubt as to the
type, general dimensions and construc-
ton OF the new cup defender. She is
an out and out keel boat, an improved
Colonia, and will be of Tobin bronze
construction-Tobin bronze plates on
steel frame. She will be 50 feet on the
water line, about a feet beam and
something over IL feet draft. or four feet
longer on the water line than the Colo
mia, about the same beam and with over
two feet more draft Her lead keel will
be about 80 feet long on the top, 5 feet
6 inches in depth in the center and will
taper away gradually to a point both
forward and aft. 1t will be two feet
across at the top and slightly bulged at
the bottom. The Colonia was about 80
feet over all. The new boat will be con-
siderably less, by reason of the shorten
ing of the forward overhang, and the
making of stem whose contour above
the water is very much like that of the

the conclusion of the third act guam
tity of cotton was set on fire upon the
stage to represent the burning of mill,
and the column of fire that shot up
from the stage and the volume of smoke
made the scene too realistic to be pleas
ant to the spectators. To add to the
uneasiness of the audience the asbestos
curtain of the house was sent down, and
someone in the audience shouted sire"
and a wild rush was made for the doors.
Some OF the cool heads in the audience,
however, shouted out that the fire was
part of the performance, and the panic
stricken throng was Quoted. During
the panic three women tainted, and one
was CARRIED in an insensible condition

TWO DECISIONS AFFIRMED.
Circuit Court of Appeals Upholds the
Oregon Tribunal.


Oregon Tribunal.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 2S.-The
United States circuit court OF appeals
decided two small cases yesterday. Peter
W. LarseD,was drowned in the Columbia
river in May, 1898, through his boat
running against fish trap owned by P.
J. MCGOWAN. The United States circuit
court OF Oregon allowed the widow
s.. 900 damages and MCGOWAN appealed.
The court of appeals upheld the lower
tribunal.
Frank Tracy was injured on the Ore
gon Short Line & Utah Northern rail-
road. He was employed as brakeman,
and while his train was being shunted
on siding he signalled once TO go slow
and again to stop. Owing to the brush
that grew along the line the engineer did
not see the signals and kept on, nearly
killing Tracy. The United States cir
cult court OF Oregon gave the latter a.
900 damages and the railroad appealed.
The decision OF the lower court was al
frmed.

the Message OF Governor Lord on
the Subject Acted Upon.
SALEM, February 26.-Among the acts
of the legislatures closing hours was
the submission OF the majority an minor
ity reports On the stove factory question.
There was very little difference in the
two reports except that Senator Cogs-
WELLS minority report went into the sub
ject more fully. 1t was as follows:
The undersigned, a member of your
committee appointed under senate reso-
luton No. 10, to consider report upon
the following extracts from the message
OF Governor Lord
1t is never wise for a state to buy an
enterprise which prudent men are anx-
ious to get rid of. There is an impress
sion among some Of our people that the
purchase OF the foundry plant and its
operation with convict labor has not
been productive OF profit or advantage
to the state. The idea is that an eie-
plant was unloaded upon the state. l
trust there is no foundation for such i'm
preston, but that facts will disclose that
the foundry has been successfully and
proftably operated, furnishing regular
employment for conyicts AMI making
the penitentiary in great measure
self-sustaining institution. 1t is your
duty to ascertain what is the true state
of the case. '-begs leave to sub
nit the following report:
THE foundry at the penltentlarv has
been in operation during the past twenty
months with satisfactory results, and
after q careful examination OF the plant,
stock, books and the methods employed
bv Superintendent r. B. Fleming, who
has been acting under the supervision
of the governor, secretary OF state and
state treasurer, as board of managers,
| find that the institution has been well
managed, and while it has not been
made as profitable as when operated
under the contract system on account OF
the general business depression, it has
given employment to large number OF
the convicts, and thus served the prln-
cipal purpose for which it is maintained
by the state.
The plant is in excellent condition,
and is worth more than when the state
purchased it, as there have been added
thereto over 81 600 in new patterns,
machinery and improvements.
These additions and improvements
are considered as more than otfsetting
any depreciation on account of wear
during the twenty months of operation.
"After careful examination OF the
report of the board of managers in con-
nection with an investigation OF the
foundry plant, books, etc, l find that
said report is correct with the exception
Of the method uzed in computing the
value of manufactured goods on hand
in exhibit B. as the inventory of manu-
factured goods on hand should be at the
actual cost and not the computed selling
value.

THE HAWAIIAN REVOLT.
Comment 1t Has Called Out From an

this morning says:
1.-THE spectacle lie one to astound and
scandalize the civilized world. President
Harrison played int the hands OF the
sugar pirates openly, and Mr.. Cleveland
did not dare wash his hands of the
baseness and brutality wrought by his
fellow president at Honolulu. American
warships have played cat and mouse
with the islands, and are lodging about
Just enough to give the hllbusters
chances to escape if things come to the
worst. Thus, because justice was no
body's, and Lihuokalani was not rich
and powerful enough to command
friendship, England and America have
allowed this fragrant crime TO be COM
mitted in open daylight. 1t is every
body's interest, except the declining
race OF the islanders, TO hush the mat
ter up and allow spectators to erect a
spurious government and stain tie
American flag by taking upon 1t this
bastard republic. We do not suppose
that any power will protest, unless it
be Japan when she has leisure; but the
spectacle is sorry one for Christian
morality, and is bitter lesson OF what
feeble races may expect when the inter
ests of civilized powers come in coll
lsion."
