Boston, Dec. 24-In spite of the
official announcement of the Motor
men and Conductors union of the
West End street railway. that the
proposed strike for recognition of
the union be deferred till Dec. 80,
many members this morning took
matters into their own hands and
seriously crippled the service by
leaving the cars.
Before noon the cars were off all
the streets except the Washington
street lines and South Boston divis-
ion. Men on the other lines as fast
as they came into the car houses af.
ter the early trip stopped work.
The cities of Maiden and Everett,
as well as the Charleston district OF
Medford, had little or no street car
service. Thousands were obliged to
get to work in the city as best they
could.

yet been overhauled and the proba-
oilities of immediate capture are not

bulk of the valuables on the train
were Christmas packages. The value
of these, many Of which were carried
off or despoiled, cannot be estimated.

view Of the robbers and furnished .
description of them. 1t seems pos
tive though that the safe. which or
dinarily carries fully $1,000 was not
opened. Had the robbers succeeded
in getting into it they would proba-
bly, have made a rich haul. 1t is to
be remembered that George E. Ross,
the company's local cashier. is now
under arrest charged with embezzle-
ment, handled over 100000 on the
day before he left. and it was Sun
day. 1t is the belief justat this time
that even that amount was ex-
ceeded, and it was this the robbers
were after.
Word has been received from
Cracker Neck, near Blue Cut, that a
man believed to be one of the robbers
is held there. Officers have gone
there to take him.

Gov. Bradley Much Worried.

Frankfort, Ky, Dec. "a. - Governor
Bradley is evidently worried and per-
picked about the recent frequent mob
murders in Kentucky. In an interview
last night he denounced the law breakers.
the ineficiency of local officers. and
strongly intimated that IL requested,
according to kentucky's peculiar law
on the subject. he will offer big rewards
without number for members of the
mobs. He also raps the legislature as
a whole for its failure to enact into law
his late recommendations as to mobs.

commission, but its first work probably
would be to close up the Alaskan
boundary controversy and some other
open issues Of minor interest but real
importance.
Unlike the Venezuelan boundary ar
rengement this treaty must go to the
senate for ratification and the house ~
representatives also will have an op-
portunity indirectly to pass judgment
upon il. for legislation will be necessary
to provide the means to maintain the
commission. The fate of the project In
congress can only be conjectured at
present. Some fear is expressed that
the issue made by Secretary Olney over
the Cuban question may somewhat
jeopardize this crowning piece OF d.
plomacy by melting criticism and the
display of ill-feeling on the part OF
some senators who feel that their pre-
negatives have been invaded. 1t Is
known. also. that other senators ia
vorable to the general project OF arbi-
tration have their own peculiar ideas
about means, which they may attempt
to carry out by amendments to the
treaty.
II these are OF small Importance they
may be accepted by the executive and
by the British government. but the
whole great project Of a general arbi-
tration treaty is one which diplomat
lists feel must be entered upon with the
greatest caution, and the agreement so
far effected has been achieved with
such difficulty that any considerable
departure from the scheme proposed by
amendments probably would lead to
failure of the treaty, and thus give
formidable setback to the whole move

Went Away with Much Wealth.

Wen: Away with Much Wealth.
At 2:3c this morning the express car
was brought back to Independence and

story of the robbery. About five min
utes after his car was detached from
the train. he said, he heard a rap at
the side door. and thinking it was the
brakeman opened it. A man with a
shotgun compelled him to retreat into
the car. while two others followed with
revolvers and ordered him to throw UP
his hands. The men then pulled him
from the car and asked him If he had
any money. He was too excited to an
swer. They then picked him up and
threw him bodily back into the car,
and one of the men climbed in
Two men held guns at Friers head,
while the third one proceeded coolly to
break open the safe. Frier told the
man who was at work on the large safe
that 1t was useless for him to blow 1t
open as there was no money in it. He
refused to give up the keys for the
small safe. and they took them from
him. They then opened the small safe
and took from 1t number of packages
of money. and after securing this again
attempted to open the large one. A
small hole was made in the large safe
and two sticks Of dynamite put in.
Frier again talked to them. telling
them they were wasting time, as there
was not penny in the large safe. This
time they desisted from their attempt
to open it and prepared to leave. Be
fore they went away one of the men
walked over to Frier, and taking n s.
bill from his pocket. said: Here. help
yourself to a Christmas present: we
made a good haul" 1t is known that
a large amount was secured They then
started to leave the car and when they
left they closed the door, telling him at
the same time to remain there on peril
Of his life. He was badly frightened.
The robbers then boarded the engine
and went at q high rate Of speed about
two miles. where 1t was abandoned.
None of the passengers were molested.
but the greatest confusion prevailed
aboard the train when 1t became known
that they were in the hands OF robbers.
There was a wild scramble to hide VAL
uables.

in tone was thoroughly earnest In its
evidence of good will towards the new

phasized the purpose of our govern
ment to hold the individual states OF
the new union to responsibility for past
claims and he indicated an expectation
that Guatemala and Costa Rica, which

soon give in their adherence. The
speeches were otherwise OF the stereo-

No Longer Any Doubt That the Treaty
Has Been satisfactorily Completed.


Washington. Dec. 2i.-There is no
longer any doubt that the general ar

States and Great Britain is practically
completed to the satisfaction of both
governments, and that its presenta-
ton to congress may be expected in the
near future Several minor amend
ments have been suggested and ac-
cepted from time to time during the
progress of the negotiations. but it is
now confidently believed that the clear
COPY whihc was forwarded to Lord
Salisbury by Sir Julian Pauncefote
about a week ago will at once receive
the formal approval of the British pre-
mier and be returned to Washington in
time to be presented to the senate for
ratification Immediately on the reas-

of a renewal for a longer period if it
shall prove to work we'll. and also to
afford easy opportunity for amendment.
Its purpose is to dispose peaceably and
