HELD UP NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN.
bandits Made n FiExle of an At
tempt to Rob the Express.

Moorehead, Mimi, Sept. 27.-The west
bound passenger train on the Northern
Pacific railway was held up 80 miles east
of here at an early hour yesterday morn
ing. 1t is said the express car carried
large sum of money, which the robbers
failed to secure, owing to blunder in
cutting off the ears. The robbery was
the coolest piece of work imaginable. En-
gineer Hoover, just after pulling out OF
Elydon, noticed man on the front plat
form of the mail car. A few moments
later the robber climbed over the tank
and at the point of pistol told the en-
gineer to apply the brakes. The other
robbers came forward, bringing in the
conductor and brakeman. All mounted
the engine, which was again started. The
robber sat on the tank and ordered the
engineer to keep himself moving Not un-
til the train reached Moorehead was it
known that the engine and mail car had
been cut off from the balance of the train.
The other robbers discovered that they
had not cut deep enough into the train
to secure the express safes and they
rapidly despoiled the crew of their
watches and money and made their es-
cape.

MINING COMPANIES AFFECTED.
stock holders Meet Within the Pro-
vince to Sell Property.

Spokane, Sept. 25.-A dispatch from
Nelson, b. c.. gives fuller details of the
recent decision in the case of r. T. Dan
iels vs. the Gold Hill Mining Company,
to set aside convey ance made by the d.
rectors in pursuance of powers given
them under the statutes of the state Of
Washington.
Justice Drake in cancelling the bill
of sale. decided that any company regis
tered in British Columbia as foreign
company ean not dispose of property un-
til a resolution has been passed at spe-
cial general meeting Of the stockholders,
representing at least two-thirds in value
of the paid up capital stock of the cor.
poration, which meeting shall be held
within the province Of British Column
bia.
The case will be appealed. 1t will be
a matter of interest to know that no
action of an American company as to
its property across the line is legal UNI
less enacted within the province of Brit
ish Columbia and under the statutes
there in force. If this decision stands. It
will open a. question as to the validity
| of number of transactions made in the
past, involving large interests.

plates than II Is robbery OF us for Great Britain
TO do her own ocean carrying. That, however.
by the way. What Is important Is this Bit
ish testimony that Under Protection the united
States has established vast new Industry; 10
which ample American testimony Is forthcom-
ing that this has been done without raising the
price of the product to the consumer.
The point which this Saturday Review
writer most emphasizes is, however, that, whiie
the United States offers TO relax what he calls
its "prohibltive tariff in some respects through
reciprocity treaties, Great Britain is, because
of her Free Trade system. entirely deDarred
from accepting and profitng by the offer she
has nothing left 10 give for which she could de-
mand gifts in return. In world that Is full or
trade wars she has given away her means OF
fighting. This last figure Is not altogether MS
own. He quotes the gist of IT from no less an
authority than Lord Salisbury himself who used
IT in addressing the Chambers Of Commerce IN
London not long ago. Assuredly. the "fair
trade" lcaven seems to be working in the Brit
ish mind. 1t is no longer an objectionable sin TO
take Cobdens name in vain. One of these days
il may even be granted that possibly political
economist outside Of the Manchester school may
have sense enough to go indoors when 1t rains
