The San Francisco call., 1896-04-02
OPPOSED BY MRS. M'KEE
General Harrison's Daughter
Will Not Be Present at
His Wedding.
Does Not Wish to See Mrs. Dimmick
Take the Place of Her
Mother.

CINCINNATI, ONO, April IA special
to the Tribune from indianapolis says: 1t
has been definitely decided that Mrs. Nc
Kee will not attend the wedding of ex-
President Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick in
New York on Monday next. Friends
volunteer the information that she had
been exposed TO the measles since she came
to this city and the physicians advised
against her going to New York.
While this is offered as an excuse for her
absence, her friends no longer attempt to
conceal the fact that she is very much lis
appointed in her fathers marriage. 1t is
not that she is opposed to Mrs. Dimmick,
but because she does not want any one to
take the place of her mother in the home
She will leave here next Tuesday for Bos-
ton, and will not come in contact with her
stepmother at all.
A lady friend of Mrs. Mckee said to-
night that she would not return here to
visit unless she were called home by such
an exigency as the sickness of her father.
While her relations are pleasant with him,
she could not reconcile herself to his mar.
riage.
Not over twenty-five invitations to the
wedding have been issued. These went to
relatives of the ex-President and Mrs Dim
mick and to former me mbers of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison's Cabinet. After the we'd
ding General Harrison and his bride will
leave for Indianapolis. They Will return
East in short time and pass the summer
in the Adirondaeks.

THOSE HEAVENLY TWINS.

q member of the posse returned. He says
they found in the woods west of where
the robbery took place two checks, one for
s4400 ana one for SIS, and also an envelope
containing s. bill. Hence it is supposed
that the cutting loose of the engine was
merely a blind and that the robbers
jumped off within few hundred yards of
the train and took horses aad came west
across the country. AT least this is the
theory the officers are proceeding on.
Wells, Fargo & Co. have issued circu-
ar offering $500 reward for the arrest of
the bandits.
The description Vt THE rorokrs, chained
from the passengers, is as follows:
First-Large, well built; sandy mus
tache; black overcoat and black slouch
hat, and belt with pistols.

hair; black overcoat and slouch hat.

Huntington's Scheme Fails, but
He Thwarts the People
as Well.
MLACHLAN's FRENzIED RAGE.
Scores His Colleagues for Opposing
the Southern Pacific Frye
Shows His Hand.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-"There
is the devil to pay in the California delega-
tion." This was the expressive though
Congressman TO CALL correspondent to-
day.
''What is the matter?"
Follow me-" said he, leading the way
to the Rivers and Harbors Committee
room. A watchman was stationed on the
outside, but within loud voices were heard.
They were considering the San Pedro and
Santa Monica harbor appropriations. and
were having veritabIe monkey and par
rot time" The matter was finally settled
by striking out the appropriations for both
places. Thus Southern California lost
$49O, 900.
To those who are unfamiliar with the
Southern California deep-harbor project
it may be well to explain that the Southern
Pacific tracks in Southern California
terminate at Santa Monica, where the
railroad has built wharves at cost of
81, SOC, 600. Therefore, C. P. Huntington,
through corps of lobbyists in Washing
ton, is striving to secure from Congress an
appropriation of $3,0O0,OOO to deepen and
otherwise improve the harbor. Senator
Jones of Nevada, who is financially inter
ested in the development of Santa Monica,
is working hand in hand with him toward
this accomplishment. They have enlisted
the active support of Senator Frye of
Maine, president pro tempore of the
Senate. chairman of the Commerce Com
mittee (which has charge of river and
harbor matters), and altogether power
IN the upper branch of Congress.
Two different boards of War Department
engineers have reported that, as between
the two rival sites. San Pedro, twenty
miles southwest of Los Angeles, is much
better adapted for deep harbor than is
Santa Monica, which is eighteen miles
west of that city and twelve miles distant
from San Pedro. Their recommendations
were, in effect, that natural condit ions
were against the selection of Santa Monica,
and at the same time made San Pedro
peculiarly adapted for a deep harbor.
Huntington endeavored to counteract the
effect of these official reports by having
Southern Pacific Engineers Hood and
Corthell submit expert testimony directly
to the contrary.
For the past five or six years Hunting
ton has tried TO induce Congress to make
an appropriation for improvements at
Santa Monica which by the continuous
contract" system would ultimately ap-
proximate $1,000, 600. But inasmuch as
the California Senators and Representa-
tIves supported by the almost unanimous
expressions of Southern California peo-
pie, persistently opposed Santa Monica

Terrified the Passengers for an Hour
and Finally Ran Off With
the Engine.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 1.-The St. Louis
and San Francisco fast express from the
West was held up at 3 o'clock this morning
near Richland by three masked men. Just
as the train was approaching Richland the
engineer saw a bright red light on the
track. He reversed the engine and stopped
the train.
As the train slowed up man sprang
into the cab with Winchester rife in his
hand and ordered the engineer and fire.
man to hold up their hands, an order that
was promptly obeved.
The robber then made the engineer
mount the platform of the express-car and
tell the messenger to open the door,
Two more robbers, both masked, had
made their appearance beside the track as
soon as the train stopped. When the mes
senger refused to open the door OF the ex.
press car they began to fire through it and
to threaten to blow up the car with dyna-
mite. Then the messenger weakened and
opened the door.
The robbers entered the car, but found
the safe locked. The messenger was or
dered to open it, but said be could not. as
he did not know the com bination. The
robbers evidently did not believe him, for
they tried to force him to do so, striking
him over the head with the butt end of a
gun and seriously iniuring him.
Finally they went to work on the safe
themselves and succeeded in blowing it
open with dynamite. 1t took them nearly
an hour to do this, and all the time some
one OF them kept firing their guns 10

When the safe was opened at last they
secured its contents, mounted the engine.
which they cut loose from the train, and
started down the track in it. About one
eighth of mile east of the train they left
the engine, mounted horses tied near py
and galloped off into the darkness
The amount they secured is variously
stated at anywhere between $4,000 aud
$100 900. A conservative estimate is
00oO. In their fight they dropped a
bag containing $l70O.
As soon as the news could be sent of the
robbery a posse started out from Lebanon
in pursuit of the thieves. As the train
men were able to give good description
of them, it is probable that they will be
caught.

this morning. The gang of robbers
boarded the train at Garrett, and when
this side of this city few miles, robbed q
passenger. Theodore Bellstein OF Chicago
of his gold watch and money, and then
threw him from the train. 1t was the
gangs intention to hold up the train some
where between Walkerton and Bremen,
as large marsh west OF Bremen affords
them a good opportunity. Bellstein re-
covered sufficiently to walk to Garrett and
notify the officials, who wired the opera
tor here and the night police, with several
men. went to the depot armed, and when
the train arrived desperate battle took
place. Three of the robbers were arrested
and placed in the Bremen Jail. One of
them is mortalIy wounded. posse of
men is now searching the country for the
two highwaymen who escaped.

HAVANA, CURA, April l Via Key
West, Fla. April 1.1-The Government is
extremely reticent about the whereabouts
of Maceo. Reports from other sources in
dicate that he has entered Havana
province, crossing the new trocha along
the Pinar del Rio line between Marie and
Majana. The authorities declared the line
impregnable. Earthworks have been
built, extending almost continuously
across the island. Weyler is absolutely
certain that Maceo is penned up in the
west The Spaniards are confident that he
is doomed at last.
Thirty thousand troops are stationed
along the trocha. Aroleus is:in command
The columns OF Linares, Inclan and half
dozen others have been pursuing Maceo
since thelanding of Calixto Garc.a, but no
serious engagement has been fought.
The Government urged the cores
pondents yesterday TO circulate the rumor
of Gomez death, which no one here be-
lieved.
The latest exploit OF the rebel com
mander-in-chief was to enter the capital
OF Santa Clara province His forces
swarmed into the city, filing the plaza.
Mounted guards .patrolled the streets from
midnight till morning and secured shoes,
clothing and considerable ammunition.
General Bazan, surprised with few troops
in the city, rushed about dressed in under
clothing only. He selected the roof of
the theater as a safe place from which TO
direct operations. The Insurgents de-
parted at dawn, with loss of two men.
General Pando has been ordered back to
Spain for permitting Gomez 10 enter Santa
Clara province without battle.

about whom the Senate asked information
