Kansas City, No, Apr. Am at
tempt was made last night to wreck
the Chicago and Alton passenger train
which leaves here shortly after 8
o'clock for st. Louis and Chicago.
Just out of Grain Valley, twenty-fv
miles east of here, the engineer saw an
obstruction on the track. He stopped
his train quickly but not in time to
avoid the derailing of his locomotive.
A pile of ties had been laid across
the track and the rails loosened, and
the stopping of the train quickly was
all that prevented serious accident
Believing that train robbery had
been planned guards were at once put
out, but the train was not molested. 1t
was over an hour before the wreck
could be cleared.
1t is thought here that robbers had
calculated on bad wreck and that it
was their purpose to loot the train dur
ing the confusion which would have
followed. Six weeks ago a similar at
tempt was made in the same vicinity.

FRANK JAMES TALKS.
GIVES HIS OPINION ON TRAIN
ROBBING.
What Must he Dane to Prevent it
Armed Guards should be Carried So
rs to Command tho vital Point, Be
tween the Engine and Express Car.

st. Louis. Apr. 4.-Bloodhounds will
be placed Oh the trail of the Frisco
train robbers. The booty is officially
stated to be $1253 So far $500 has
been recovered. Frank James, n
brother of the famous bandit, Jesse
James, when asked his opinion of tue
robbery, finally said
when a man engages in the train
robbing business he is badly in need
of money, and will take desperate
chances to secure it. All the talk about
some men having no sense of fear,
and especially when they are making
raid on IL train, is all nonsense. L
have been in some pinches and there
We're times when l realized fear, but
there was nothing to do but to fight
my way out.
Il am opposed to train robbery, and
the only way it will ever be stopped
Is to have armed guards on each train.
Two or three would be sufficient, but
they should be well armed and be en-
cased in steel cage of some kind.
The cars should have portfolios so the
guards could command view of the
outside One point in particular they
should keep in view, and that is the
space between the engine and the eX-
press car. This point should be
watched for number of reasons.
First, because robbers could uncouple
the express car from the rest of the
train and with the engine pull it sew
eral miles down the track and with
dynamite blow everything up. The
second and main reason is that the rob-
bers would be aware of the guards
presence in the car and if they could
get to the couplings Of the car all they
would have to do would be to pull the
engine away from the train a short dis
lance, reverse the lever and come back
against the train with such force that
the express car would be demolished
and the guards killed Until these
ideaS are carried out the robbers will
continue to think that train robbery is
a science
THE Sleeper Hill job was done by
men who knew their business; but as
! am not in that business. and never
have been, I don't care to discuss it
further This however, will say the
times when was credited with having
been in certain train robberies was

New York April A special to tine
New York, April "a special to the
Herald from Cairo, says The demand
for war news here is so great that
every evening there are fresh stories Of

of the troops at this point has about
ceased, though recruiting and forced
enlistment goes on very vigorously.
The officers of the Connaught rangers
have been given a farewell dinner in
expectation of an early forward move.

Your correspondent has interviewed
the Knedive. He said he took great
interest in this upper Nile expedition,
though he was sorry that it was so sud

arations could not he made. He re-.
GREETED that his military education had
not been concluded when he was called
to succeed his father. His highness
thought that there were now over ten
thousand Egyptian and English troops
between Assouan and Akasheh. He
asked about the Japanese army and
navy and showed a deep interest in all
that was told him.

them. His highness will shortly go to
the Alexandria resort for the summer.
The discussion in the commons on
Lord Cromer's attitude towards the
Dongola expedition can be easily an
swered from here. From the outset
the British representative has dlsap-
proved of the movement. He did not
advise it and his opinion was not
sought. He believes that the revenues
Of Egypt should be used for relieving
and improving the country and not in
reconquering territory not needed at
present. He fears that all his past fl
nancial labor will be lost. He is, how
ever, giving the expedition his hearty
support now that it has been entered
upon.
British military men here express
contempt for the attitude of France to-
wards the British expedition up the
Nile.
The dervshes are gathering in
strength for offensive action and at the
war office this afternoon the opinion
was frequently expressed that the sit
uation Mt the front is growing serious.
There is feeling that the advancing
column is entirely adequate.

Judge Carter he had been sent to Chi

others with him when he started, but
that they left the train before it reach

train passed the Wisconsin state line
INTO Illinois and he did not know what
bad become of the others.
Jansen said he was much opposed to
leaving the Minnesota asylum, because
he was far from being cured, but he
was compelled to leave by the keepers.

An Electric Haemostat.

Demonstrations have been given lately
By Lawson TAFT, in London, of his cleo
trio haemostat, an instrument which, as
the name denotes, is intended for the
arrest Of bleeding in surgical operations.
A platinum wire, arranged 10 carry a
current, is inclosed in the blades of a
pair of steel forceps, or any other re-
Quisite instrument, the wire being iso-
lated by bed Of burnt pipe-clay. A cur
rent of suitable voltage is turned on, the
artery seized and compressed, and IN a
few seconds the tissues and arterial
walls are so agglutinated that the pas
sage of blood is rendered impossible.
The temperature employed is about $50
degrees F., so that IL wifi be seen that
the principle is fundamentally different
from that Of electrical cauterizing in
struments. It is stated. says the "Elec-
Srical Engineer" that by Tait's instru-
ment the necessity for a ligature is re-
moved, and a new and completely eff
