A REVOLT Il. EXPECTED.

Speaker Reed had q somewhat
unique experience this week,
wher he was waited on by COM.
.mittee composed Of Representa-
tives Hicks, Of Pa; Curtis, of
Kansas; Hooker, of New York;
Hermann, Of Oregon, and Henry,
find, who represented a peti
ton signed b. 20s members Of
The House, asking that time BE-
given for the consideration Of
twenty two bills on the House
calendar providing for public
buildings in various sections Of
the country. The Speaker pointed
out to tie committee the necessity
for rigid economy in public ex-
penditures caused BY the existing
annual deficit Of $5s, 900, 900, and
tho committee went back at him
by pointing out that none Of these
bills carried an appropriation;
that they only fixed the maximum
cost Of the proposed buildings,
leaving the appropriations to be
made by future Congresses. The
speaker expressed his dissent
from this system, which he called
mortgaging the revenues Of the
government, and called attention
to the absence of the New York
custom house bill from the list
That bill was then added, but the
Speaker was candidly told that il
could not be considered until the
other twenty-five had been given
a fair hearing Although Mr.
Reed made his opposition plain
he did not give definite answer
When he does, fit be unfavora-
BILE, there may be a revolt in thu
House.

TRAIN ROBBED.
A Southern Railway Express Held
Up by Three Men. r.r-ss

BIRMINGHAM, January Ill.
AT 7:3o o'clock tonight three
masked men robbed the Southern
Railways Washington express,
one mile this side Of North river
bridge, in the wilds Of Fayette
county, where the celebrated train
robber, Rube Burrows, held forth
in former years. The robbery oc-
Cured at the spot where a similar.
robbery was committed by three
masked men using the same
methods about six weeks ago.
The train was in charge Of Com
ductor Wilmot and Engineer
Brown. A combination baggage
and express car was occupied by
Messenger Ward and Baggage
Master Falkner, who had been fully
armed and placed together for
mutual protection. At Berry Sta
ton, two miles this side of the
bridge, where the engine stopped
for water, the robbers got on. Two
of them, it is said, stood on the
front platform of the baggage car
and the third crawled on the engine
and covered Engineer Brown, who
was ordered to keep going untilhe
reached the bridge. Mr.. Brown
obeyed.
When a stop was made an oc
cupant Of the baggage car opened
the side door TO see what was up.
He found himself confronted ] J
two of the robbers and two shot.
guns stared him in the face. The
other occupants of the car reached
for their weapons, but were over,
awed by the robbers and made
an easy surrender. The latte,
opened the small local safe. and
loo,ed it. A jug of whiskey was
also taken and the express pack,
ages and the jug were put in a bag
and the robbers made off. . The
engineer was compelled to pull out
at the point Of a pistol. The trair
porter was left at the place. t.
mark it.
At 10 o'clock tonight specia
train left Birmingham carrying
dogs and officers to the scene. Tn
officials believe the robbers are. tn,
same as those that robbed tn,
same train six weeks,ago. Agoot
trail will probably be struck, a
the weather is fine for it, and TIL
robbers may be caught. Thei
booty amounts to several hundred
dollars. The passengers were no
disturbed.

Ready for Another Fray.

New York, Ian. 22.-Senator
-Lhe Mantle, Of Montana, who is a
free silver republican, in an inter-
view with reporter Of the United
Associated Presses, said that he
thought the free silverites would
organize throughout every state in
the Union, in order to be ready for
1900, when they would hold a con-
vention and nominate a presiden-
.tial candidate.
He declared that there were two
kinds of free silver republicans in
the Senate those who believed in
the republican party first and free
silver after, and those who believe
that free silver is paramount to
party or any other issue.

tor, ito tn latter class. ! believe

this country. Republicans who
believe as do cannot consistently
operate wi the other faction OF
republicans. Neither can they go
into eau us with them, as major

free silver. will not participate
in such caucus.
He f..rhar stated that he he.
lieved the friends of free silver,
namely, the democrats, populists
and republicans would have ma.
jority in the Senate after March 4.
He said that he was opposed to
any obstruction on the part Of free
silver republicans to tariff logisla,

/ gold republicans to make good
their assertion that protection
would bring prosperity.

at this weeks meeting of the Sen.
ate Committee on Foreign Rela.
tons, and the questions fired at
him about the different clauses OF
that arbitration treaty kept secre-

hour. There are differences OF
opinion as TO what construction
may be placed upon several
clauses Of the treaty, and there is
a disposition among Senators to
go slow in deciding whether the
treaty shall be amended, rejected
or ratified. Mr.. olney told the
committee that he did not under.
stand how any construction could
be put upon any clause of the
treaty that would connect IL in
any way with the Monroe doctrine
and assured the Senators hat
there were no hidden meanings

strange wreck twenty miles southwest,
near the fish light banks.
AS told there, the sponge divers
we're after sponges, when they found
this vessel lying in thirty or forty feet
of water. She was a new yacht of trim
shape aud schooner rugged. Her decks
showed evidence Of hasty flight, nli
boats being missing and the masts gone
by the board. The cabins were lux
uriously furnished, and in Il stateroom
was found the corE Sc of a young girl
in her niehtraiment, showing that she
was drowned at night. The silyer~are
of the vessel and other furnishings were
handsome.
The vessel seemed intact, except a
place near the bows, where the lower
timbers were crushed in, but not
enough to cause her to sink, the divers
sny. In her hull were holes, apparent
ly made by an auger. The divers are a
superstitious class, and they did not re.

they discovered the body in the

PEARY'S PLAN TO REACH THE
POLE

Orders for the detachment OF Lieu
tenant K. E. Peary, in accordance with
the leave of absence for five years grant
ed on Friday by Secretary Long, were
received on Saturday at the New York
navy yard, and were forwarded to the
Arctic explorer, whose leave of absence
begins at once. He will start on his
preliminary journey in July. The ex-
ploring party will meet the ship for the
journey at Boston, and Lieutenant
Peary will be accompanied by three
scientific expeditions, which are TO
study the gleciology, botany and eth
noogy of the polar region. These par.
ties will be landed on the coast of Lab
rsdor, Baffin's Land and Greenland,
while the preliminary expedition will
continue 10 Whale Sound, where the
natives will be engaged and set to work
laying UP store OF furs and food. The
first expedition will return home in
September. 10 July of 1895 the mao
expedition will start, and while
Mrs. Peary will take the prelim
nary trip no civilized person be-
side the explorer and a surgeon
will be included in the expedition TO
the North Pole. Lieutenant Peary be-
lieves the more white people in the
party the less will be the chances OF
success, and he will be uuaccompanied,
save by the surgeon and Eskimos. The
colony will be established with about
SIX native fam lies at Saerard Osborn
r'jord, in about latitude 81 degrees.
Fhe explorer expects TO establish this
COLONY in August or September of 1898.
aud after collecting all supplies there
by communication with Wales Sound
aud by means of dogs and sleds, the
dash for the North Pole will be made
in March. The arty will so to the end
of Greenland and then the explorer
hopes to find passage over the ice.
Even if the explorer does not reach
the North Pole on the first attempt he
hopes to reach a higher latitude than
Nansen's record of Sc degrees II min
utes Continued dashes will be made
until the pole is reached, or the p-o-
visions and supplies give out.
