As Told by omcIals.

Portland, Or, Feb. 1.-The following
particulars were given out by the
Southern Pacific officials here:
Train No. Is, north-bound Oregon
express, was held up last night at Shady
point by two or three men, two miles
south Of Roseburg. The express car
was detached from the train by the
robbers, and the door blown open with
dynamite. The two smaller safes in
the car were then blown open and
looted, though it is not thought the
robbers secured much.
The express car then took fire. The
conductor and trainmen worked hard
to save it after the robbers had gone,
but the flames had too good start, and
the car and contents were destroyed.
The train was ON time at Shady
point. where Engineer Morris saw q
man at the side Of the track, waving
flag.
He slowed up for the signal, and Just
as he brought the train to a stop,
man armed with two revolvers came
over the back of the car and covered
him. At the same time, another
armed man, who was the man who had
tagged him, appeared at the side of the
cab. and, presenting revolver at him,
ordered him not to attempt to move the
train, but to come down at once and 90
with them to the express car. The
fireman in the meantime had got down
on the other side.
The two robbers and the engineer
then went to the express car, where the
robbers ordered the express messenger
to open the door. This the Messenger
refused to do.
The robbers then uncoupled the ex-
press car, returned to the engine and
kicked the train back, leaving the ex-
press car separated.
In the meantime, the express mes
senger had seized the opportunity to
step out Of the car.
After breaking the train the robbers
returned to the express car, and. with
heavy charges of dynamite, the detona-
tions of which were heard at Roseburg,
blew the door open. Entering the car,
they attacked the two smaller safes,
which they succeeded in entering. The
messenger thought the robbers did not
succeed in getting into the big safe,
and consequently they could not have
secured much. The mail car was
also visited by the robbers, and it is
believed some registered mail was
taken. But they did not pay much at
tention to the mail car.
The explosions set fire to the express
car, and when the robbers drew off, it
was mass of flames. The train crew
worked liked trojans, but were unable
to save it, and the car and contents
were almost totally destroyed.
Superintendent Fields, who was in
Roseburg at the time, took special
engine and went to the wrecked train
rs soon as he heard of the robbery.
The passengers were considerably
shaken up, and some of them frighten-
ID, but no one was injured. The hold
up will make the train from eight to
zen hours late in getting into Portland.
An imperfect description of one Of
he robbers was secured. 1t is pre-.
'umed they were masked,

DOORS WE'RE CLOSED.
The Open Session o the Senate was
Very Brief.


Washington, Jan. 30.-The open ses-
sion OF the senate was comparatively
brief today, as more than half the day
was spent behind closed doors. During
the open session, the bill for an inter-
national monetary conference was de-
bated, Chandler speaking in favor Of it,
and Stewart against. Chandler's speech
was carefully prepared, and was in the
nature Of statement Of the attitude Of
theiRepublican side Of the chamber on
the bill. Stewart, although criticising
the commission as futile, stated that he
would not oppose the measure. 1t is
expected vote will be reached Mon
day although Pettigrew announced a
speech which may lead to further delay.
The Nicaragua canal and the bank
ruptcy bills were before the senate for
brief time, but no progress was made
on either. Early in the day, lively
debate occurred over Aliens resolution
questioning the presidents right to fore
close against the Pacific railroads. The
resolution went over for q speech by
Thurston Monday.

THEODORE DURRANT.
His Case Has Resqived Itself Into State
of Utter Confusion.

San Francisco, July 5.-The Durrant
murder case has resolved itself into
state of such confusion that il will
require the combined efforts of the
state and the United States supreme
courts TO restore it to its proper legal
condition.
1t is rumored that Governor Budd
contemplates asking the state supreme
court for a writ of mandate to compel
the warden of San Quentin prison to
execute the eseatence imposed upon
Theodore Durrant on July 8, the date
under which the murderer was re-
prieved This is out of the question,
however, as the supreme court does
not meet again uutil the second week
an July. While the state officials ap-
pear to be in quandary, Durrant's at
torneys insist that the appeal to the
United States supreme court acts as a
bar to any and all proceedings in the
state courts pending the decision of
the higher tribunal.
