EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Sixteen Thousand Dollars Taken From a
Wagon. Deputy Sheriffs in Pur-
suit of the Robbers.

sixteen InOusand dollars Iaken from a
Wagon. Deputy sheriffs in Pur-
suit of the Robbers.
DENVER, April ia special from
Cripple Creek, Colo, says: '"The
mail and express wagon which con-
meet with the Midland Terminal rail-
road at Grassy, was robbed today,
about two miles from this city, by two
men, who overpowered the driver,
Robert Smith, secured the express
package, containing $4,000, and es-
capped on horseback.
''The hold-up took place about 9:30
o'clock, on the summit of TenderfoOt
hill, midway between Cripple creek
and Grassy station, on the Midland
Terminal railroad. The mail and ex-
press wagon, drawn by horses, driven
by Messenger Robert Smith, was en-
route from Grassy to Cripple Creek
with the mails and express matter re-
ceived at Grassy on the morning train
from Denver and Colorado Springs.
''Two men, sitting beside the road,
accosted Smith, asking him for ride.
He drew up the team, and one of the
men climbed up on the seat beside him,
while the other mounted the baggage
behind. AS soon as Smith started to
drive, the man behind struck him on
the head several times with his revol-
yer. The blows staggered but did not
stun him. The man on the seat with
him also drew a revolver and leveled
it at him, commanding him to get
down, walk to the heads of the horses
and hold their brides. He complied,
and was covered with guns. They
ripped open and rified the mail and ex-
press pouches. After securing SIG, 900,
which was being shipped to one of the
Cripple Creek national banks, and
several other valuable packages, they
unhitched the two leading horses,
mounted them and rode rapidly into
the mountains.
'tSmith, who was very weak and
bleeding profusely, drove into the city
as quickly as possible. When he drew
up in front of the Wells-Fargo express
Office he tainted and fell from the seat.
Sm1th was revived IN q rev minutes
and related what had befallen him.
Within 20 minutes from the time the
robbery was committed Deputy Sheriffs
Sterling and Jackson and 800 men
started to scOur the hills in search of |
the robbers, who have SO small a start |
that it is not believed they can escape |
A message has been sent to Canon |
City for bloodhounds, which will be |
put on the trail of the robbers, if they
are not captured before the animals
arrive.
'sThe S16, 600 package secured by the
robbers was consignment from Dem
yer by Wells-Fargo express. 1t has
not yet been ascertained by whom it
was shipped, but it is believed to have
been forwarded from the First
National bank of Denver to the First
National of this city. Another pack
lge containing $3.50 is also missing.
It is believed the robbers came from
Denver, and knew large money
package was in the wagon"

HOME INDUSTRIES.

That every community should, as far
as possible, patronize home industries
is one of the basis principles of the
policy of protection, and this is always
sure to impel prosperity. The reason
that the northwest has lacked develop
ment heretore is because too little at
tention has been paid to this; but
there is an awakening in this regard
that promises good times in the future.
The press of Oregon are advocating
the doctrine, and there are hopes that
there will be a change in the plan
heretofore followed. Washington ap-
pears to have been afflicted in the past
in the same way, and the following
from the Spokane Chronicle very truth
fully portrays the situation and the
change now being inaugurated: \
'Three years ago there was a large
amount of farm products shipped into
this locality from the east aggregating
perhaps million dollars per annum.
Then our wholesale merchants were
almost daily shipping in by the car
load hams and bacon, and lard, and
butter, and eggs, and beans, and other
products of the farm, not from the sur
rounding country. but from Iowa, Mon
tana, Illinois and Minnesota. This
was great drain upon the community,
but this is now all changed, and the
articles named, as well as nearly
everything that can be produced upon
the farm, are now brought in from the
surrounding country, Our farmers are
not only now producing enough for
home consumption in nearly every line,
but large surplus is grown and finds
a ready market in British Columbia,
Montana and states farther east.
"The benefits of this change can
scarcely be overestimated. No indi-
vidual and no community can be pros
porous if expenditures exceed the in
come. Three years ago there was not
fruit enough raised in this locality for
home consumption. During last year
many carloads were sent abroad, while |
this year, it Is safe to say, the quantity |
shipped out will be double what it was
last year, and because of the large |
number of fruit trees that have been |
planted for several years last past our
surplus of fruit will probably double |
every year for many years to come.
''Our people should take courage and
press forward Notwithstanding low
prices. We should not only produce
we consume, but much be-
side. Whether prices are high or low,
rs community we can never be pros
)erous until the balance of trade is in
,ur favor. We must buy less and sell

NICARAGUA.
The English Press Deny That There is
Any Cause For Jealousy on the Part
of the United States.


Any Cause For Jealousy on the Part
of the United States.
LONDON, April 0-Regarding the
report from New York that the British
sloop-of-war Wild S,oan has joined the
Royal Arthur, the flagship of the
British Pacific squadron, at Panama,
preparatory to her expected departure
for Corinth, Nicaragua, to enforce the
ultimatum of Great Britain demanding
900 indemnity for the expulsion
from Nicaragua of Mr.. Hatch, British
consular agent at Bluefelds, it was
stated at the admiralty today, in reply
to questions, that no orders have been
given the Wild Slodn or ROYAL arthur,
which would warrant the statements
made.
The Times today, in an editorial on the
situation, says: IF we are compelled
to collect customs Nicaragua will pre-
sumably have to pay the costs of col.
lection in addition to the indemnity.
She will find it less troublesome and
cheaper to settle with us forthwith.
Her efforts to excite the jealousy of
America have failed. Justice. with
the good sense of the Americans, have
proved too strong for the success of
these characteristic maneuyers.
Americans should only hear our case
and demands to acknowledge our
conduct was reasonable and just, and |
to admit that our claims were of such |

Fresno,s Forgery Case.

FRESNO CAL, April 10.-The original
features in this, the third days hearing of
the Sanders forgery trial, was the intro
duction by the prosecution of new evidence
to show that William Wootton, the miss
ing Reedly rancher, was not with Sanders
when the latter drove away from the Woot-
ton ranch on the evening of February of
last year.
M. NJ. Record and Newton Wiseman,
the new witnesses, saw Sanders driving on
the road to Reedly only a mile from the
Wootton house, and were positive there
was no one with Sanders.
This testimony, while of little value in
the forgery case, is held to strengthen the
opinion of the detectives and experts that
Wootton never left the house alive and
that his body is hidden somewhere around
the house. A number of witnesses were
called to testify as to the references made
by Sanders to Knausch and Graves, the
mysterious individuals whom no one but
Sanders has seen and who, after whole
years search, still remain undiscoverable
by either the prosecution or the defense.
Testimony bearing directly on the forgery
charge will be taken tomorrow.

STOCKTON DAMAGE SUIT.
Charles Traving Claims He
Was Put in Chains on
a Steamer.
Forced to Leave the Boat and Return
to His Home as Best
He Could.

STOCKTON, CAL, April 10.-The mother
of Charles Traving, 14-year-old boy of
this city, intends to bring suit for heavy
damages against the California Naviga-
ton and improvement Company, owners
of the steamer Mary CARAT
She claims that on the night of March %
last the captain of the steamer chained
her son in the lower portion of the vessel,
alleging that he was trying to beat his way
to Stockton, when in reality he had paid
his fare.
According to the story told by the boy
to-day he purchased ticket and handed it
to the purser as soon as he entered the
steamer. He had not been on board long
when the captain sccosted him and de-
manded the payment of his fare. He
could not convince the captain that he had
paid his fare, and the latter had him taken
down into the hold of the vessel and
chained to post in the Chinese quarters.
The lad declares that he was kept in irons
from o'clock until II.

CHARLES ALIENS PLEAS.
Would Restrain the Illinois
Central Road From
Paying.
THE LAW IS NOT UNIFORM.
This Action, Which Promises to Be
Important, is Commenced
in New York.

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 10.-Another
suit to contest the constitutionaiity of the
income tax has beer instituted in the Cir
cult Court here. It is an action In equity,
brought by Charles Allen of Greenfield,
Mass, against the Illinois Central Railroad
Company ct al.
In his bill of complaint the complainant,
after setting forth the organization of the
railroad company the amount of personal
property held by it and other matters in
relation thereto, declares that he is in
formed the company intends to pay, under
the provisions OF the income tax law, tax
of per cent on all its net profits and in
come for the year 1894.
The bill then AYERS that the income tax
law is unconstitutional, in that if said tax
is collectable upon the company's income
and profits it is direct tax in respect of
the railway property, fixtures and appur-
tenances operated and owned by the de-
PENDANT company by being imposed upon
the income and profits thereof, the same
being real estate, and in likewise a direct
tax in respect of its personal property by
being imposed upon the income and profits
thereof, which direct taxes are not appor-
toned among the several States, as re-
quired by the constitution of the United
States.
The non-uniformity of the law is then
pointed out at length, after which the bill
declares that the exemption of insurance
companies, savings banks and institutions
constructed on the mutual plan, etc.. is un
constitutional in that these exemptions
operate to arbitrarily free said companies
from the payment of their just proportion
of taxation.
The bill further sets forth that the tax is
unconstitutional for the reason that it i'm
pairs vested property rights. The COM
plainant therefore prays that defendants
be restrained from voluntarily complying
with the income tax law, and that he be
granted such other relief as the court may
deem meet.

SUPPLEMENTAL REG ULATIONSJ
Income Ta1 officials Are agreed Upon
the Main Points.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1O.-The
income-tax officials expect to complete
their supplemental regulations tomorrow.
All of the main points to be covered have
been practically agreed upon, and tonight
the Commissioner expects to put them in
proper form. There seems to be no ques-
ton that taxes, whether State, county or
municipal, or whether on personal or real
property, except such as are intended to
directly benefit the property taxed such as
street improvements taxes, may be de-
Quoted from the income tax to be returned.
As to rents from mixed property, such as
furnished hotel, the Commissioner will
no doubt hold that the owner must him
self separate the taxable from the nom
taxable. and state the proportion of the
rents derived from each. In making re-
turns, taxpayers will be obliged to state in
detail what the exemptions are, including
the amount of rents received, and on what
particular property.

NOM UNION MEN co OUT.
Rather ForcibIe PerSu aston
Used by the Armed
Miners.
Riots Narrowly Averted in the Dis
turbed District of Miners
Vile.

POMEROY, OHIO, April 10.-At P. NJ.
400 strikers and sympathizers from SYRIA
cuse, New Haven, Hartford City, Mason
and Pomeroy massed at Minersville, ''to
persuade" or force the non-union men
working in the Williams mine to lay down
their tools and come out.
They formed in ranks, four abreast, and
marched up the street to the mine and
formed to await the appearance OF the
miners as they came out at the close OF the
days work, being forbidden by the opera
tors to trespass on private grounds.
At o'clock the men came out and were
met by committee of seven of the strikers,
who used persuasive means to induce them
to join the strikers. For two hours the
twenty-three men held out stubbornly
with the 400 strikers massed about them
on a vacant lot.
They were assured by Master Workman
Eli Thomas that they would be amply
cared for in case they joined the strikers.
Once riot was nearly started by Mrs.
Manly, wife of the leader of the non-union
men, paradiDg up and down the street
with a revolver under her apron, and de-
claring she would shoot the first man that
molested her.
Finally the non-union men agreed to
join the strikers. This announcement was
greeted by cheers and volley of pistol
shots into the air.
All parties were armed and made no at
tempt to conceal the fact.
The affair has ended most fortunately in
that there was no bloodshed as expected.
An assault will be made ON the Peacock
mine Saturday, it being now the only mine
in the bend not paying the 2-cent rate.
One hundred and four men are working
there.

RATES To Los ANGELES,
They May Be Slashed to Points
in Minnesota and East
of There.
The Trouble Caused by the Actor
Of the Southern Pacific
Company.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 10.-It is
possible that overland passenger rates may
be slashed in consequence of the Southern
Pacific having given. notice that it will
withdraw fiom sale tickets to st. Paul and
Minnesota points by way of Ell Paso, Fort
Worth and Kansas City, and also by way
of Ogden and Kansas City.
This is direct blow at the Texas and
Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and the Rock Island, also the Missouri
Pacific from Pueblo, Colo.
The Santa Fe has not shown any inten-
ton of following the lead of the
Southern Pacific, and so its second
class rate will remain at SAT 80 to
st. Paul and Minnesota points. while the
Southern Pacific rate will be $54 20.
The Iron Mountain road has withdrawn
from the Passenger Association, and what
action will be taken by the roads unfavor-
ably affected remains to be seen.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
City Trustees Consider the Issuance of
Bonds fo1. the Purpose.

City Trustees Consider the Issuance of
Bonds for the Purpose.
SACRAMENTO, CAL. April 10.-The City
Trustees last night considered the cues
ton of issuing five or ten year bonds for
street improvement in accordance with the
law providing for them. The adoption OF
the plan would mean the improvement of
nearly all the streets of the city with mac
adam, which can be done very eheaply as
soon as the new rock-crushing plant at
Folsom is in operation.
Although no definite action was taken
by the board, the sentiments expressed
showed that when the proper time arrives
the streets not already bituminized will be
improved with macadam, as the issuance
of the bonds will enable those who cannot
pay lump sum for improving the streets
to pay it in installments with interest at a
low rate, thus avoiding the necessity OF
waiting till times grow better
Another year will see large number il
not all the streets macadamized.

From Unjwst Criticism.
NEW YORK, N. Y, April 10.-The
World tomorrow will say: DR.. Rafael
Carabano, Consul-General of Venezuela,
has resigned and will sail for home to.
morrow.
Several months ago the Consul attended
a dinner at the Windsor Hotel, given by
Joseph Hernandez, one of the Venezuelan
refugees from his country. in this city.
The dinner was merely to celebrate the
termination of civil suit, in which the
general was interested.
News was promptly sent to Caracas that
the Consul General had given the dinner
to General Hernandez and was associating
with enemies of the Government. Recently
DR.. Carabano received letters from friends
saying that President Crespo was dis
pleased with his reported conduct and had
expressed unfavorable criticisms.
Although no notice was officially taken
of the report and the Consul was not called
to account, he felt very indignant at the
unjust criticisms and decided to resign.

PORTLAND, Or, April 1s.-The new
freight rate from Portland - Spokane over
the Oregon Railway and Navigation line
went into effect to-day. 1t is one-half the
rate between st. Paul and Spokane.
There was meeting of railway officials
in the Office of General Freight Agent
Campbell of the Oregon Railway and Nav
igation Company to-day to discuss the
matter. There were present General
Traffic Manager ]. M. Hannaford of the
Northern Pacific, Assistant General Freight
Agent Fulton of the Northern Pacific and
Assstant-General Traffic Manager Shelby
of the Great Northern. They commenced
an informal discussion of the questions at
issue, but are not yet prepared to disclose
the results.
The territory tributary to Spokane and
considered by her merchants exclusively
theirs will besinvaded by the wholesalers
and the jobbers of this city, and conse-
quently there have been efforts by the
shippers of the Eastern Washington cities
to Illustrate the contemplated reduction by
the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Com
pany.
Both the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific are opposed to the reduction,
for they find the long haul-from st. Paul
to Spokane-more profitable than the short
haul-from Portland to Spokane. They
have endeavored to maintain the present
rates.
The Oregon Railway and Navigation has
no road to the East, and it will, therefore,
get larger part OF the traffic to the Spo-
kane territory, for the commodities will
be sold from this city and the sound in
stead of from the East.
