PREPARATION FOR BANDITS.
How ~ HoId-Up Wou1d Probably
Have Reen Prevented.

ST PAUL. MINI. March S.--A special
from Chippewa Falls Wis. says: a snow
storm and a belated passenger train were
two circumstances that probably pre-
vented an encounter between a gang OF
bandits and hundred or more armed
deputies last night.
a few days ago the officials Of the
Omaha road received information that an
attempt would be made to hold up the
Duluth limited. which leaves Superior for
Eau Claire at $50 In the afternoon. The
place selected for the attempt is lonely
spot In the forest. about three miles
north Of Hawthorne, where the train is
due about in the evening Had the
Duluth train not been delayed six hours
in a snowdrift. the bandits would have
received a warm reception. The baggage
and mail-cars were filed with deputies
armed 10 the teeth. They were taken
aboard at Superior, and given instructions
by the officials Of the road. It was the
intention OF the robbers to flag the train,
and just as soon as IL slowed up sufii-
ccnty two men were to secure control
OF the engine while the rest of the gang
rihed the mail and baggage-cars and
went through the passengers i'm the
coaches The Omaha officials intended
10 allow the bandits 70 flag the train but
would call a halt there. The heavy snow
storm held the train al Stterior Junction
until o'clock this morning. When It
arrived at the scene Of the proposed rob-
berry the bandits had departed Ii is un-
derstoOd that one Of the gang furnished
the officials with the information.

GERMAN NAVAL CREDIT.
Threatened Crisis on the subject
ApparentIy Ayerted.

BERLIN, March S.-Prince Hohenlohe,
the Imperial Chancellor, addressed the
Budget Committee of the Reichstag to-
day upon the subject of the govern
ments demands for an extra credit TO
be devoted to increasing the strength
of the navy. The Chancellor explained
that the immediate bearing of the decla-
rations made by Admiral Holmann, the
chief of the German admiralty, In his
speech before the Budget Committee
last week, in regard TO increase OF the
effective strength of the navy. and de-
manding extra credits for that purpose,
had been misunderstood. Admiral Hol-
mann's statement. the Chancellor said,
did not imply that the government had
a bill prepared providing for an In
crease of the naval strength, but was
directed toward what was material TO
the strength OF the navy. Germany
certainly required such an Increase OF
her fleet as Admiral Holmann had inti-
mated but the time in which such
navy as he had outlined could be created
depended upon the financial position OF
the Admiralty and the will of the
Reichstag.
The statement made by the Chancellor
was received by the committee with
manifestations Of approval, and the
threatened crisis over the naval credit
has clearly been averted.
