ductor Aldrich states that just as the

boarded the train, one climbing on the

Carly were on the platform, but ran
and caught the train as it was moving
out. The fireman. Henry Abel, was
compelled at the point of a cooked re-
volver to pull the train up to the stock
yards, about two miles distant. The
conductor, fully realizing that some
thing was wrong, left the train at thes
stock yards, where the robbers had
ordered the train stopped j, and ran back
to the station, telegraphing the news to
Division Superintendent Hubbard, at
Gallup, and Sheriff sHubbell. IN the

wore false boards and, were unma sked,

thatfend was signed at the statedepart-

tives of the three governments named,
and it will become effective when trati-
fled by the senate. Nhe treaty was
signed in the large diplomatic room at

There were three copies of the docu-
ment. one for each nation represented,
and the delegates of each nation signed
their own copy first. The sealing of the
documents was attended to by Mr.. De
Wollant, the charge of the Russian gov
ernment, and William Gwynne, the lat
ter being an expert in this line, having
sealed almost every treaty negotiated
here since the treaty Of Washington.

til final ratiications are exchanged.
A,$As the document amustsgo to, the sen
ate for approval, i custom requires
that it be withheld from publication in
this manner. It is said, however, By
those concerned. that the general pur-
poses of the treaty have been already out
lined in the press, and it is likely that
all of further interest that remains in
the document is the exact nature of the
additional restrictions that are to be
Imposed upon pelagic sealing.
It is expected that. the meeting of
British and American experts will take
place this week, according to the orig.
inal programme, unless there should
be some Intervention from the British
foreign office, which is not anticipated.
Meanwhile the British expert, Prof.
Thompson, who is now in Washington.
will be acquainted with what has al
ready been accomplished by the gov
eInment of the United States, Russia
and Japan and with the terms of the
treaty. @
London, Nov. s.-The British officials
regard the prompt agreement arrived at
between the United States, Russia and
Japan. providing for temporary sus-
pension of pelagic sealing, as a vindica-
ton of their refusal to enter into the
conference and as demonstration Of
their contention that an understanding
existed between the threeseountries. 1t
is not likely that Great Britain will con-
sent to stop sealing. Her majesty's gov
ernment confidently expects settle
ment of the question by the United
States purchasing the Canadian in

RIO JANER,o is QUIET:
Attempt to Murder President MOraea
Part of n Plot.

Attempt to Murder President Moraes
- = Part Of = Plot.
Rio JaneirO, Nov. S.-There is gen.
eral belief here that the attempt to kill
President Moraes was the result of a
conspiracy headed by monarchical plot
ters. Whether the conspirators planned
the death of Gen. Bethencourt, the min
lister of war, who was shot and killed as
he stood beside the president, remains
to be seen, but there are reasons to be-
lieve that they did. Rio Janeiro, in
view of the remarkable excitement
which followed the deed, is unusually
,lniet. In the meantime, however, every
precaution is being taken to protect the
president, as it is" feared another at
tempt on his life may be made. A strong
guard has been placed around his resi-
dence.
Several persons have been arrested in
connection with the crime. The SOL
der who tried to kill the president,
however. still declines to give any rea-
son for his crime. All efforts to make
him talk have proved fruitless.
Ell Diario. the official organ of the
government, publishes a manifesto
from President Moraes, which declares
that, while he is affected as man and
as Brazilian by the attempt on his
life and the murder of Gen. Bethen-
court, he is firmly resolved to fulfill his
duty as he sees it. He pays tribute
to the layalty and bravery of Gen.
Bethencourt. This manifesto made a
good impression on the people. There
is great popular indignation, as the gov
ernment has received the support of the
letter element in Rio Janeiro.
The funeral of Marshal Bethencourt,
minister of war. took place Saturday.
The president of the republic followed
the remains to the cemetery and was
enthusiastically acclaimed by the peo-
pie of all classes on the passage of the
funeral which congregated more than
10000 people. @

POPE LEO KILLS BIRTHDAY.

Carpineto in the Apennines, the Pee
ci Palace and the Pope's Bedroom.
Count Ludovico Pecci, nephew of Leo
Kill, and his wife, Donna Vittoria, have
given, in honor of the pope's name day,
a great reception at Carpineto, the
birthplace of the Pontiff, where they
live. Carpineto is mountain village
with about 5000 inhabitants, and is pic
turesquely situated on the top of a
peak of the Lepini mountains. Being
surrounded by points much higher, and
snow-capped at some seasons, it is real
ly very beautiful. It is far from rail-
ways. One has to drive five hours in
the diligence in order to reach. it, and
it has thus kept much of its primitive
character. The inhabitants are very
poor, mostly shepherds. The women,
starting early in the morning, some
times go IS miles to gather wood. When
they are employed in cultivating the
land they do not earn more than four
or five pence day.
The present village was, in the middle
ages, rather important town. It was,
with its surroundings, duchy, first I'M
der the Caetani, to which family be-
longed Boniface WILL, who had his ears
boxed by Sciarra- Colonna at Ana gni,
and later under the Aldobrandini, to
which belonged Clement VIII. For two
centuries, however, the most important
family there has been that of the Pecci,
although. they originally came from
Siena. The Pecci own the only building
which can be called a palace, and half of
the environs. From their palace, which
is built on the highest ground the out
look is grand toward the mountains
and picturesque looking down over the
roofs of the medieval town. The in
terror is much more sumptuous than
one would expect in that half-wild dis
trict. There are vast anterooms and
magnificent halls, hung with tapestry
and large family portraits.
The portrait of the pope's mother rep
resents her as handsome and dignifed,
and that of his father, in his uniform
of colonel Che served under Napoleon
~ as good-looking man, in whose fea-
lures can be found traces resembling
his celebrated son. Leo is also there.
The likeness is an exceedingly good one
more than can be said of his brother,
Cardinal Giuseppe Pecci, who died in
1890 at the age of s3, rigid Jesuit, who
had a rooted objection to posing in any
form for his picture. Among the por-
traits there of persons not belonging to
the family, is one of Duke Loubat, an
American ennobled by Leo XIII, who
has erected three or four statues of tho
pope in different churches.
The room occupied by the present
Pontiff when he resided in Carpineto is
still called Camera di Monsignore,"
and has not been disturbed. It is very
modestly furnished, having little iron
bed with curtains, small writing desk
near window, a picture of the Madon-
ma, a portrait of the Blessed Margaret
Pecci, an ancestress of his, and few
chairs.-Pall Mall Gazette.
