PEACE ON EARTH,
Senator Bacon Believes Declar-
alton by Congress Depre-
eating War
And Expressing a Desire for Har-
mony With All Nations,
Strong or Weak.
Would Go a Long Way Towards
Maintaining It--His Res
Olutions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The senate
agreed to q vote ON the international
monetary conference bill at Up. m.
Mr.. Morgan, in charge Of the Mic
araguan canal bill. eadeavored to have
Tuesday next at p. m. fixed as the
time for the vote, but Mr.. Turpie oh.
jected. Mr.. Morgan then announced
that he would press the bill to o con-
clusion on Monday.
Mr.. Bacon (Dem., Ga presented the
following joint resolution:
Resolved, That the United States depre-
cate war, and desire the maintenance OF
peace and friendship with all the world,
and that this desire Is not limited to the
relations to any one nation, but extends
to their relations with I'll the nations Of
the earth, whether the same be great or
small, strong or weak.
Resolved further, That to the end that
these relations of peace and amity now
happily existing between them and all
nations may be perpetually preserved and
that wars may be discouraged and as far
as practicable made impossible. The
United States favors the principle and
practice of international arbitrations for
the settlement of all questions in differ
ence between them and any other nation
which they may fail to adjust by treaty or
diplomatic negotiation.
Resolved further, That the United States
does now avow 1t as their future policy
and intention, whenever there shall arise
any question in difference between them
and any other nation which they fail to
adjust by treaty or diplomatic negotia.
ton, that they shall, and will, SO far az
they may consistently with the national
policies, agree with such other nations to
submit such question in difference to the
arbitrament and final decision to an inter
national court Of arbitration. Such court
Of arbitration shall in the future. as in the
past, be constituted by agreement between
parties oonsenting thereto, with special
reference and adaptation to the particu
| lar question in difference, and to the con
| ditions then existing.
Resolved further, That the United
States hereby invite all civilized nations
to make corresponding and reciprocal
declarations, to the end that wars be
| tween nations may cease, aud that an
universal reign Of peace may be inaugu
rated and perpetually maintained.
Mr. Bacon spoke briefly OH the reso.
lutions, Saying that declaration by
congress, which is the war making
power, would exert far greater in
fiuence towards peace and against wal
than any treaty. He expressed hope
that favorable report would be speed
lily made by the committee on foreign
relations, and that congress woulG
make the declarations stated in tht
resolutions.
| The resolutions were referred to tn,
committee OH foreign relations.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

Robbers Took tho Contents Of Two Small
safss-Express Car Burned.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 8o.-The fol.
lowing particulars Of the train robbery
near Roseburg, Or, were given out by
Southern Pacific officials:
Train No. 15, northbound Oregon
express, was held up at Shady Point,
two miles south Of Roseburg, by two or
three men. The express car was de.
tached from the train by the robbers,
and the door blown open with dyna.
mite. Two small safes in the car were
then blow open and looted. The ex-
press car then took fire The con.
ductor and trainmen worked hard to
save the car after the robbers had gone,
but the
Car and Contents Were Destroyed.
The train was OH time at Shady Point,
where Engineer Morris saw man at
the side of the track waving flag. He
slowed up for the signal, and as he
brought the train to a stop, man
armed with two revolvers came over
the back Of the tender and covered
him. At the same time another armed
man, the one who had tagged the
train, appeared at the side of the cab
and, pointing O revolver, ordered the
engineer not to attempt to move the
train, but to come down at once and 60
with them to the express car. The fire.
man in the meantime had gotten down
on the other side. Two robbers and the
engineer then went to the express car,
where the robbers ordered the messen.
ger to open the door. This he refused
to do The robbers then uncoupled the
express car, returned to the engine and
backed the train, leaving the express
car separated.
Used Dynamite.
Meantime the express messenger had
seized the opportunity to step out Of
the car. After breaking the train in
two, the robbers returned to the ex.
press car and with heavy charges of
dynamite, blew the door open. Enter
ing the car, they attacked two small
safes which they succeeded in entering.
The messenger thought the robbers did
not understand getting into the big
safe, and consequently they could not
have secured much money.
The mail car was also visited by the
robbers and registered letters taken.
The explosion set fire to the express
car and when the robbers left it, it
was q mass Of flames. The train crew
worked like Trojans, but were unable
to save it. The car and contents were
almost totally destroyed by fire. The
passengers were considerably shaken
up and many became frightened, but
no one was injured.
j The holdup will make the train IL
hours late getting into Portland. An
imperfect description Of one robber was
secured.
