to stop. The engine crew were
Immediately covered with revolvers.
Conductor Dennis O'Brien and Brake
man MoMichael stepped out to sec
what was the matter, and were greeted
by volley of bullets, which at once
caused confusion in the passenger
coaches. The conductor and brake
man were compelled to cut the express
and baggage cars from the rest of the
train, and the engineer and fireman
were made to get down from the cab.
The robbers quickly jumped aboard
and took the engine and express ctr
about two miles farther east, where
they stopped and compelled Express
Messenger Williams to open his car.
He offered no resistance, as he carried
no treasure. The robbers had evil

leaves Kansas City at later
hour, and were greatly surprised
upon discovering that the cars which
they had captured contained nothing of
value. In their rage they pourced

through his pockets, but 1886 was oil

left the train and disappeared in the
darkness. After delay OF over an hour
the train was got together again and
was started on it's journey. The county
marshal and his men were at the scene
of the robbery very soon, but there IS
every probability that the robbers were
safely in independence or Kansas City
before organized effort was made to
capture them.

THE Baltimore American, republiCsp.
falicitates the republican party in this
State upon the fact that its ticket at he
late election received over fifty thou
sand votes, and intimates that it would
have received more, if there had been q
"fair election law" In view of the fact
that last fall, the republican ticket in
Virginia, uud the sauna election law,
received over one hundred and thirty.
five thousand votes, where the papers
felicitation, or its condemnation of the
election law, comes in, is hard to tell.
The Virginia election law is all right
fair, square, honest and just, and the
overwhelming democratic victory OF
last week was due, not to the election
law, but to republican opposition to the
Presidents oppressed love of the civil
service law humbug, and to the increased
love of the democrats for free silver
and their increased hate for high tar
ills, trusts and negro officials in the
South.

A. yr.rrn in the Gazette's Washing

AS STATED in the Gazette's Washlpg-
ton correspondence of yesterdays date,
the snbiect of commercial reciprocity
treaty between the United States ana
Canada will be considered at once ty
tine represents ives of both countries
The export of American products to
Canada, even now, exceed in quantity
and value those to all Central aud South
America combined, and with vice
and comp, eheusive commercial treaty,
one approximsting free trade, those
exports would be ouadrupled. Ofcourse
the i'm ports from Canada would also be
increased; and there's the rub, for thev
would compete with the barley, malt,
notstoes and few other products OF Q
few of the northern tier of States, aro
az those are republican States, and as
the representatives OF all republican
States stand by each other, no matter
what national interests suffer, 1t Is
hardly probable that any really ehec
t;oe measure will be adopted by which
tho trade between the two countries
may be Increased.

In Favor Of the Settlers.


Boise, Idaho, Nov 13.-Some time
ago suit was brought by the Northern
Pacific Railroad to eject about eight
hundred settlers in northern Idaho who
had settled upon lands for forty miles
back which the road claimed under
its grant from the government. This
land emblaces several hundred thous-
and acres. United States Judge Beatty
has decided that the land belonged to
the government and that the settlers
were entitled to possession. The com.
pany appealed to tie Circuit Court
which has just dismissed the appeal.
This action saves the homes of hundreds
of Idaho settlers as no further appeal
will be taken.

THAT Lord Salisbury was wise man
