Train Held up And Large Amount
Secured.
Denver, Col, Sept. 4.-News has just
reached here that the Gulf passenger
train No. 1, was held up and robbed at
Twin Mountains last night at 1870
by two masked men.
The two men got on the blind bag
gage at Folsom, and when nearing
Twin Mountains they climbed over
the tender of the engine, and covering
the engineer and fireman with re-
volvers, ordered them TO stop when
they reached the road crossing.
At Twin Mountain two men We're
stationed at the road crossing with
four horses and as soon as the train
stopped they began TO shoot their re-
volvers and to intimidate the passen-
gers. Two men entered the express
car and blew open the Safe. 1t is not
known how much was secured but it
is estimated at from $1,000 to $4,000.
Immediately on receiving the news
at Folsom a posse was organized and
started in pursuit. A posse. also start
ed from Trinidad at 2 a. m. The
railroad has offered a reward of $500
for the capture of the robbers.

New York, Sept. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley and the entire
membership of the cabinet will prob
ably be consulted before Attorney
General McKenna announces his opin-
ion as to the construction to be placed
on section % of the Dingley law i'm
posing discriminating duties.
Theattorney general had expected to
announce his reports this week, and
in the meantime the president will cut
short his outing and return to Wash
ington. 1t is probable that the ques-
ton will be the subject of a general
exchange of views at meeting Of the
cabinet before the opinion is written.
The questions involved are so i'm
portant that all the light possible is
to be thrown on them before the ad-
ministration is committed to a con-
|struction which might demoraliZe the
entire foreign commerce of the coun-
try and which involves matter of
about $30,000,000 per year in customs
revenue, according to the calculations
of the officials of the Treasury de-
partment.
This calculation is made ON the basis
of last years imports and on the as
sumption that the imports under the
discriminating duty would be practi-
cally the same in value and would
come in ships of the same natienali-
ties. British ships bringing goods
from other countries than British ter
ritories in Europe would be the heav-
lest sufferers, and it is expected that
one result of the imposition of this
duty would be the transfer of many
British ships to the flags of notions hav-
ing more favorable treaties with the
United States.
The assumption is that on account
of the imposition of these duties on
goods coming into the United States
through a contiguous country the
trans-continental roads of the United
States would be benefited at the ex-
pense of the Canadian Pacific road,
but when it is taken into considera-
ton that the steamship connections OF
most of these roads would be I'M
favorably affected it appears that
about the only road which would gain
any decided advantage would be the
Southern Pacific which, having con-
nection with the American line of
steamships from San Francisco, would
have the advantage of discrimination
in favor of its steamship connection,
as well as against its Canadian rival.
About the only cities that would
gain any decided advantage would be
Halifax and st. John, as the effect OF
the discriminating duty on goods
brought into the United States over
the Canadian Pacific would tend 10
break up the transit of such goods
through New England to the seaboard
and divert this traffic to those ports
in British territory.

The President Says They Were Al
ways Fair With Us. But That
They Will lSit Down On
Us As Hard AS We Do
On Them.

New York, Sept. A special to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres, Argentina,
says:
President Wilburn has sent a mes
sage to Congress in which he advo-
Gates. as a measure of retaliation
against the United States, increased
duties on articles imported in large
quantities form that country.
In his messages the president speci-
fies particularly as articles on which
the duties should be largely increased
petroleum, timber, ploughs, plough
shares and all agricultural implements
and machinery which are imported
largely from the United States.
Higher duties, the president explains.
should be imposed because of the re-
cent difficulties which the Dingley
tariff law has thrown in the way of
deportation from this country to the
United States.
President Uriburu contends that the
policy of Argentina towards all coun-
tries which export to Argentina has
always beep fair and just as proven
when the Wilson law in the United
States accorded great liberality to Ar
gentina woods. In return this coun-
try made sweeping reductions in the
lduties on timber and petroleum i'm
lported from the United States.
The proposed increase in duties al,
lvocated by President Uriburu will
amount to about 100000 in gold. The
president that special conventions can
be negotiated with the United States
land other countries providing for
greater liberality to Argentina pro-
ducts before it will be necessary to
enforce the increased duties if they
should become law.
| The scheme ON which the special
conventions proposed by the president
will be based is as follows:
First, maximum tariff. There win
be an increase ON duties of sixty per
cent. and will be applied to those coun-
tries which levy high duties on inn
ports from Argentina. A minimum
tariff will provide for the importation
of foreign products. Another tarln
will provide for big reduction in du-
ties on imports from those countries
lettering similar reductions to Ar
gentina products-in other words, a
reciprocal tariff.

Judge Withrow's Decision ON the
Breeders Law o. X.


st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 4-From infor-
nation gained from a sporting nah of
this city who declines TO have his
name made public, it seems possible
and altogether probable that the next
big events in the fighting arena will
be pulled off in Missouri. 1t is learn
ed that arrangements are being made
to brng the McCoy-Creedon fight, as
well as any other contests between
champions that may be arranged in
the future, to this state. This is made
possible, the aforesaid informant as
serts, by the action of Judge Withrow,
of the st. Louis Circuit court, Thurs
day, in deciding that the Z Breeders
law, recently enacted by the Missouri
Legislature, is constitutional. The law
in question essentially provides protec-
ton to the legitimate race tracks of
the state and also legaliZes ICON
tests of strength and endurance be-.
tween man and beasts" On this
clause, it is said, the sporting frater-
nifty hope to be able TO hold pugilist-
lie contests in Missouri unmolested.
1t is stated that the persons having
the matter in charge and one of them
no other than Dan Stuart, of Texas,
are contemplating the erection of an
aerna at Mexico. Missouri. This lit
tie city. which is 100 miles west of
st. Louis, has a population of several
thousand people. 1t is on the Chica-
60 & Alton and Wabash railways
which connect with all the principal
cities Of the country, thereby affording
quick and easy transportation from
all points.

BRINK OF A CIVIL WAR
Austria and Hungary Appar.
emily Drifting Apart.
CzECHs PROPOSE TRIPLE EMPIRE
Factions Drawing Up for a Great strug
gle-Can the Emperor Bring
Order Out of Chaos?

London, Dec. 7.-International ques-
tions have been temporarily over
shadowed by the gravity of the situa-
tion in Austria. where things are as
gloomy as imaginable. In addition to
the imminence of civil war, the next
few hours may possibly witness revo-
luton in the relations between austria
and Hungary, which might mesR the
reconstruction of the map of Europe.
1t is hardly an exaggeration to say that
the factions are drawing up like con-
tending armies. The Germans have
appealed to their compatriots on both
sides of the frontier, and have appar-
emily prepared to run all risks to keep
the hated Czechs in subsection. The
Czechs make no secret of the fact that
their final aim is to abolish the dual
empire, and to make it triple empire
by placing Bohemia on an equal footing
with Austria and Hungary. To grant
these demands would set Hungary on
fire and destroy the foundation of the
present imperial system. 1t looks as
though the employment of force is the
only solution of the question. but
against which faction will it be used?
The question of the provisional aus
glich bill Cor agreement to prolong for
a year, instead of 10 years, the compact
between Austria and Hungary, pending
arrangements for longer compact), is,
if possible, more grave than the threat
ened civil war. The Hungarian diet
has given Baron Won Gautsche Won
Frankenthurn, the Austrian premier,
till Monday next in which to state
whether he can reasonably expect the
ausglich bill to pass, and, failing de-
cisiye answer, Baron Banffy, the Hun
garian premier, will introduce Monday
bill whereby Hungary will act ihde-
pendently as regards the duties to be
tions with Austria and the charter of
the Austro-Hungarian bank. This
compact between the two portions of
the dual state may be maintained tenn
porarily. Hungary will establish her
claim to the right of independently
disposing of these questions.
1t is easy to see that victory will only
whet the Hungarian appetite. and that
it will be short step to the dissolution
of Austria, which, in turn, will hurl
Europe into furnace nf terrible possi-
bilities.
Apparently the only hope of escape
is that the personal ascendancy of the
old emperor will once again enable him
to solve an apparently impossible situ-
alton. Failing in this, the reichsrath
will be dissolved and reign of abso-
lutism will begin in Austria, and, tech
nically. Hungary will have resumed
her independence, the first step toward
federation, as distinguished from
dual Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
