Robbers Commit nm Apparently Fruit
less Deed Near kansas city.


Kansas City. Mo-. Oct. 7.-Bandits
held up Chicago d Alton express train
Wednesday night at point less than
six miles from Kansas City. The rob
berry is the third occurring on the rail
road within year, all within IS miles
of this city. The Chicago and ST. Louis
express. which pulled out OF the Union
depot at $3.50 Wednesday evening, was
stopped by three masked men at Evans
ton, suburban stopping place just be-
yond Washington park
Ii is claimed they secured nothing.
The engine and express car were de-
tached and run about a mile from the
rest OF the train, and the express car
was rified. The robbers were evidently
experienced railroad men. They did
their work quietly and quickly. The
passengers knew nothing Of the affair
till the engine and express cars were
out of sight.
II was about nine o'clock when the
train was tagged at the Washington
Park cut. a mile this side OF Blue cut.
made famous by the James boys years
ago. When the train had come TO a full
stop three men jumped from the bank.
One had a red lantern and a revolver,
the others had shotguns. they forced
the engineer and fireman 10 leave the
CINE, and then one Of the robbers un-
coupled the express car from the rest Of
the train.
The conductor, William Groves, went
10 the engine TO see what was the
trouble. lie was ordered back at the
muzzle OF a shotgun. One of the pas
sengers had followed the conductor.
He, too, was threatened, but ran away
from the train. He caught an electric
car for independence and gave the
alarm. Deputy marshals at once motif
fed Kansas City and FASTENED to the
scene.
About ten minutes after the robbery
a freight train came along and pushed
the passenger coaches TO where the ex-
press car and engine had been left.
The robbers had fled. United States
Express Messenger Aiken was found in
his car uuhurt lie said the robbers
had got nothing. They had dynamite,
he said. but the fuse had failed to work
and they had been unable 10 explode IL.

GREAT BRITAIN REFUSES.
VIII Not Take Part In DehrinE Sea
SEAL Conference.

London, Oct. THE officials OF the
British foreign house have commune
Gated TO the United States ambassa-
dor, Col. John Hay, the final decision of
that government, that Great Britain
must refuse to take part in any sealing
conference with representatives. of
Russia and Japan. The British govern
ment, however, asserts its willingness
TO confer with the United States alone,
but il insists that Russia and Japan are
not interested in the Behring sea seals
TO degree emitting them to repre-
scntatiou at the conference. The Brit
ish government does not suggest any
date for a conference with the United
States, and il is thought probable in
London that Great Britain's with
drawal will result in two meetings, one
between the United States, Russia and
Japan, and the other between the
United States, Great Britain and Can
ada.
IL cannot be too strongly reiterated
that the withdrawal Of Great Britain
from the Washington conference is due
10 Canada's insistence that until the
Canadian officials Informed the foreign
Office here OF Cnnada's objections TO
meeting Russia and Japan, out of fear of
being outvoted, Great Britain fully i'm
tended 10 enter the conference with the
three other governments.
Washington, Oct. Inquiry in the
state department confirms the an
nouncement from the British foreign
Office In London that the British gov
eminent has refused 10 take part in any
conference in which Russian and Jnpa-
nese delegates participate Beyond this
confirmation the officials of the depart
mcnt decline 20 discuss the question as
correspondence Is still In progress on
the subject Mr. John W. Foster, ex-
secretary of state. who is in charge Of
the interests OF the United States in
the Behring sen seal fisheries matter,
was asked about the statement that there
would he two conferences. one between
the United States and Great Britain, and
the other between the United States,
Russia and Japan, declined TO discuss
this point az the present time.
