The plot to hold up the train had been
Matching for weeks. The road and ex-

tective into the confidence of the rob-
bers, who stayed with them until about
z o'clock. The train was due at the
rendezvous at 8 o'clock. The local de-
tectlVe made an excuse to go to Green
wood station, a mile away, and get
the crowd something to eat. When the
train pulled into Greenwood Detectives
Grl1nn and Eddy were notified by Fra
ser, the local detective, that the game
was ready. The engineer was to give a
special signal or whistle if the train
was halted by the bandits, Promptly
on the dot and spot, a mile south of
Greenwood, in the dark shadow of the
tunnel cut, she signal came from the
engineer, with a sharp crack of revolv-
ers, saluting to halt the train. The
wheels had not stopped ere Griffin,
Eddy and Fraser sprang from the
train. Every one fairly in sight went
down under the rapid fire of the de-
tectives. The robbers were so dazed
that their reply fire was wild and in a
few minutes all was over The two
men We're Jerry Morrow and Frank I'm

A FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT.
Senatorial Courtesy is Thrown to
the Winds.
A Scene Such as Might BE Expected
in Frontier Police Court, But
Which Scarcely Belts Even Wild
and WooIIy Nebraska-PopuIists
Seemed to Enjoy the Occurrence.

Omaha, March 2S.-A special to the
Bee from Lincoln, says:
The senate was the scene of great
confusion this afternoon by a personal
encounter between Senator Stewart
and ergeant-at-Arms Stewart, who
precipitated a free fight between a
number of senators and by-standers.
Senator Stewart was called to order
while speaking on the tax bill, and
upon his ignoring the chair, the SER
geant-at-arms was called. He refused
to sit down and the two men scuff]ed
for moment. Then the sergeant-at-
arms grasped the senator's long chin
whiskers with his right hand. In the
meantime the senators and the specta-
tors had gathered in a circle around
the struggling men
Senator JeffrieS, a Populist, excitedly
elbowed his way through the crowd to
the center and undertook to assault the
Sergeant-at-arms.
Senators McKeeby and Hitchcock at
once forced him back to his seat.
Dale, another Populist senator, sprang
into the melee and grasped the SER
geant-at-arms.
Senator Sloan threw himself upon
Dale, and with the assistance Of Sena-
tor Hitchcock forced him back to his
chair. No other senator undertook to
interfere and the fight ended.

1t Means Ruin.

Tampa, Fla, March 2S.-The
steamship Olivette arrived from
Havana tonight bringing a number of
passengers. One of them, a Cuban
planter, is going to New York, his
home. He says the Cuban revolution
means the ruin of the island, that there
are no influential men at the head of
it. He predicts dismal failure in
four months. He fears that the rise of
Canovas to the ministry means chaos
for Cuba and thinks the Cubans have
much injured themselves by this in
surrection when Spain was just be-
ginning to give them home rule. One
of the passengers brings news of adj
ditional troops from Spain. If reports
are to be believed the Cubans believe
that if 100000 Spaniards are sent there
they could not suppress the present
government. They are fighting to win
and win they must.
An American passenger on the
steamship stated that the newspapers
were giving only the government side
and sending out wrong reports, that
in all engagements the patriots had
been victorious.

CARNEGIE HOPEFUL.
THINKS BUSINESS WILL IMPROVE
UNTIL NEXT CONGRESS.
Also Certain That No One Can Safely
Predict What May Happen After
That Calamity Occurs.

New York, March 2S.-Andrew Carnegie
arrived on the steamer Paris today and
talked freely about the business pros
poets in this country. He said the coun-
try could be described as convalescing.
While it was not much stronger than it
was a year ago, still there has been a
change for the better and he believed
there would be a gradual improvement
until Congress met next December. No
body could predict what would happen
after that. He thought it unlikely how
ever, that Congress would be able to
pass any important measures, and If this
should be the case he would regard it
as fortunate. What the country needed
above all things was period Of abso-
lutte rest.

OPENING RESERVATIONS.
Two Drafts Have Been Submitted
For the Presidents Signature.

Two Drafts Have Been Submitted
For the Presidents Signature.
Washington, March 2S.-Secretary Smith
today gave to the president the draft of
two proclamations opening to settlement
the lands ceded by the Yankton Sioux In
dams in South Dakota and the Alsea and
other Indians on the Silotz reservation in
Oregon.
The president is expected to act imme-
diately on these and issue the formal
proclamations within few days.
The Yankton reservation embodies some
of the best land in the state, and there
are $4,000 acres of the ceded lands. The
proclamation, as follows, provides that
the lands shall be subject to entry within
thirty days of publication. Land officials
do not expect a rush for the lands such
as rushed to the Oklahoma opening, and
will adopt measures tending to secure
equal treatment for all settlers. The
agreement with the Yanktons provided
for the payment of surplus lands of $780,
600, together with $40 for each male adult
of the tribe. The agreement with the In
dams on the Silotz reservation provided
for the cession of all their unallotted
lands, the total coded territory covering
$4,000 acres. The compensation paid by
the government was 100000.
There are several other reservations
for which negotiations for opening to
settlement are being made and the Nez
PerceS lands in Idaho will probably be
among the first made subject to entry

THE ELKS' CASE.
Matter Has Finally Got to a Jury.

Cleveland. March 2S-Judge Hammond
delivered the charge to the jury in the
B. P. o. Elks case in the United States
circuit court this morning. He sharply
criticised the members of the order for
ferences which had disrupted the order.
Judge Hammond said that the amount
involved was sufficient, in sentimental
value of paraphernalia, to give the court
jurisdiction. He said the jury must con-
slider that Atlantic City was the legal
meeting place for holding the convention
in dispute. because it was fixed by the
Grand Lodge, and the grand trustees.
and the subsequent removal of the grand
trustees in no wise changed the legal
meeting place. After some further discus
Judge Hammond, the jury retired, but
was dismissed late in the afternoon until
tomorrow.

WILL GO TO CUBA.
AN ARMY BEING ORGANIZED AT
JACKSONVILLE.
Fifteen Thousand .Cubans and Ne
GrOes to Be Enlisted, and They
Will Aid the RevoIutiOnists' Cause

Jacksonville, Fla, March 2S-It is re-
ported here tonight that secret move
ment is on foot to organize, equip and en-
bark direct from Jacksonville and Fer
nandina an army of 1900 Cubans and
negroes for service in the insurrection in
Cuba. The movement is reported to be
managed by the Cuban revolutionists.
The ground reported to be taken by the
managers is that as the Spanish officials
persistently deny that an instruction
exists in Cuba, she cannot make valid
complaint at Washington against filibus-
tering expedition. The United States can
and will proceed against flibustering only
when Spain gives formal notice that an
instruction exists in Cuba, and that an
expedition leaving the United States is
to lead the rebels and thereby violate the
treaty between Spain and this govern
ment
1t may be that the movement reported
to be secretly taking form here is merely
an audacious bluff to brighten Spain into
acknowledging the insurrection, but
whether it is or is not conspicuous names
are identified with the enterprise. Con-

KILLING OF RENTON.
No Doubt But the Honduras Govern
ment WINS ResponsibIe For 1t.

Washington. March 2S.-The report OF
Captain Davis, of the United States
steamship Montgomery, upon his investi-
cations in Honduras surrounding the
killing of the American, Renton, at
Brewers Lagoon, has just been received
at the navy department. The report is
voluminous and is being carefully sifted
by the officials.
Captain Davis made a most careful in
quiry into all of the facts. The cOncIus-
ion is that the Honduran government is
properly chargeable with the RESPONSE
billty for the affair, and has been direlict
in failing to take any steps whatever to
ascertain and punish the perpetrators OF
the crime. Captain Davis visit awakened
the Honduran officials and there is now
fair prospect that justice will be Sc
cured at last. Captain Davis found that
the injury sustained by the Renton es-
tate amounts to about $685. 900, and the
Honduran government will be requested
to reimburse the widow in this amount
1t hardly signified a disposition to what
is right in the matter. The report of the
naval captain viii be transmitted to thu
state department at whose request the
investigation was undertaken.
