San Francisco, April S.-George e.
Gard, late chief Of the Southern Pa
cific company's detective service, came
up from Los Angeles last night and
gave publicity to remarkable story
The plot, according to Mr.. Gard, was
nothing less than a conspiracy to hold
up the Vanderbilt special train and
abduct Cornelius Vanderbilt The Of
fcials of the Southern Pacific company

fore the Vanderbilt party reached Ell

precautions to prevent the carrying out

say that the men had been conspiring
for some time, but had not been able
to agree on any plan for making a

Immediately picked Vanderbilt for a

plans for a hold-up NY informant

to me he said that he would continue
to act in the role Of conspira tor and
keep me informed of their movements

plan. The letter was the most strik-

convinced Immediately of it's genuine

Muir. superintendent of the Southern
Pacific at Los Angeles, and laying the

From What / could judge by the
letter, the conspirators had at the time
perfected no plans further than to
agree among themselves to hold up
the Vanderbilt special train at some
point in the San Joaquin valley and
make the best haul that was possible.
II no money was to be had any other
way, Cornelius Vanderbilt was to be
kidnapped and every one else in the
party was to be killed, if necessary to
the accomplishment Of the end in
view. The anarchists, if they may be
called such, had laid their plans to
hold up the train in the San JOAQUIN
valley, and it. therefore, is unneces
sary to fear any violence below Bak-
fierseld. This side of Bakersfieldvthe
special train was run only during the
daytime, and it is. barely possible that
this precaution upset the plans of the
conspirators. Neither Mr.. Vanderbilt,
Mr. Depew nor any Of the members Of
the visiting party were informed Of
the anticipated hold-up, and left the
city last evening on their way East
without learning that they had beer
made the objects of a conspiracy by s.
gang of desperado es.'''

Washington. April Secretary Car

on the subject OF his candidacy for the
presidential nomina ton at the Chicago
convention:

Louisville: Your favor Of March 80.

many Of my friends III kentucky and
elsewhere desire me to become a can
didate before the approaching national
Democratic convention for nomination
for the office Of president, and request
ing me to give "isome authoritative or
denite expression upon The subject,
was duly received and has been ma
terially considered. Many commune
cations upon the same subject and
similar import have been received
from friends in different parts of the
country, and while very grateful for
these numerous expressions of conf
dence and esteem upon the part of my
Democratic fellow citizens, have not
been able to reach the conclusion that
the existing conditions require me to
comply with their requests by author
izlng them to announce me as a can
didate for the presidential nomination.
while feel a profound interest in
the welfare of my party, I am much
more concerned about it's declaration
Of principles than in it's selection of

upon the position it takes or omits to

and the character and amount of tax

Its position upon these and other sub
jects having been agreed upon and
clearly and distinctly announced. the
convention ought to have no difficulty
in selecting an acceptable candidate
who will fairly represent it's views;
and. in order that its deliberations
may be embarrassed as little as DOS
