TRAIN ROBBERY FOILED.
Interview With Jack Kennedy, Held
In Kansas City.

Kansas City. Mo, Jan. 30.-The Jour
nal this morning prints a remarkable
interview with John F. Kennedy. the
alleged train robber. who was found in
the street Friday night in an uncon-
scious condition, wearing false whis-
kers, and having in his possession q
mask, q red lantern, a shotgun. a re-
vOlVer ammunition and all the accout-
rements for train robbery. The Jour
nal states that in an interview with a
Journal reporter Kennedy freely adj
mitted that he and his associates had
planned 20 hold uD and rob the Union
Pacific west bound overland train,
which leaves here at 1870 O'Clock in the
evening. and that they had been given
a 10 that the train would carry over
$50, eco in treasure. The point selected.
according 10 this story, was about SIX
miles our OF the city, on the Kansas
side Os the line, near Muncie station.
which was the scene of one of Jesse
James exploits.
The plan. according to Kennedy's al
legged statement. was TO rob the train
and get hack into the city before the
:hatties," as Kennedy designated the
police, could be notified that anything
had happened
Kennedy would not reveal the name
of the man VINO was riding with him
when his horse fell and threw him.
The police are at a loss to know
what to do with Kennedy. who is still
detained. 1t is probable. however, that
he will be prosecuted for carrying con-
cCaled weapons and vagrancy.

NOTES OF WARNING.
French Newspapers Call a Halt On
Agitation.


London, Jan 29-While the situation
in the far east continues to progress
peacefully. ard there is every indica-
ton OF an amicable understanding be-
tween the powers, the situation in
France, in the opinion of weli-informed
persons. is a graver menace to peace,
and N the present eXcitable state Of
the nation and shaky condition OF the
ministry, something is likely to occur TO
disturb European peace. a note Of
warning has even been sounded by
some of the French newspapers, which
urge a cessation of the present agita-
ton in France, pointing out that the
country should not play into the hands
of Germany.
The Petite Journal says: The gov
errment may soon be unable to prevent
someone in authority from making a
statement which is liable to occasion a
conflict. We have certain proofs that
Germany foresees the possibility of
war, and is making arrangements ac-
cOrdingly. She means TO be in the
right, and accuse US of creating trouble.
The relations between France and
Great Britain are also drifting towards
crisis. The Niger negotiations in
Paris have not reached an agreement.
and there are no signs of them doing
So In the meantime, everything is
tending TO take the question out of the
hands of the diplomats and leave it to
be settled by the hands of soldiers.

laps and so yards.
Five minutes before the finish. all of
the riders left the track, giving the two

honor and money. Fixes was in the
lead, with Waller tapping his wheel. \
lively pace was set at once. Many times
Waller put on all of his power TO pass
his young opponent, but each time
Elkes' reserve force proved the better
and amid the widest kind of enthusi-

final score was:

Chamberlain Dwells Upon Efforts to
Exclude British Trade.

London. Jan. 29.-Rt Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, speaking at Birmingham this
evening, dwelt upon the efforts Of for
eign nations to conquer great colonial
empires with the intention of convert
ing them into exclusive trade preserves,
from which British trade should forever
be excluded. This policy, he said, IS
now hanging over Great Britain like
the sword of Damocies, in west Africa
and China
Regarding the latter country, Mr..
Chamberlain added, he was happy to
believe there was a general agreement
of all the great commercial powers that
Great Britain's policy was just one.

SAME IN KANSAS AS IN NORTH

The Ottawa Times, of Kansas, ex-
poses the efforts of the gold Demo-
Gratis and Railroad attorneys to pre-
vent cooperation in that State (Kan-
sasO we clip the following:
"The Democratic attorneys, OF Nam
sas, who are in the service of the cor
pOrations are straining every effort to
prevent cooperation between the Pop
ulists and Democrats of the State next
month. They are galavanting over
the State, at the expense OF the cOfpOr-
atiOns, seeing men who expect to be in
the next Democratic convention, per-
suading them that this is not the pro-
per year to effect cooperation and of.
ering all kinds of reasons for it. These
Democrats are men with smooth ways,
else they would not be in the service OF
the corporations, and there is no doubt
that they are doing the principle OF
fusion some injury"
If the Railroad Attorneys succeed
In capturing the Democratic State
Convention in Kansas, then of course
they will prevent cooperation there
as they did in this State.
Thus we see that the gold Demo

Tuu WAR SITUATION.

The management of this war is
enough to make every strong aud
healthy true American sick at heart. 1t
seems that the chief purpose of those
managing the war is not to take Cuba
and to whip Spain but to pile up an
immense debt upon the people. Cuba
could have been taken thirty days ago
easier than it can be taken today. We
had then an army and navy big enough
to capture the island in ten days. To-
day the island is much more strongly
fortified than it was then.
Since Dewey's victory at Manila,
over month ago, there has been abso-
lutely nothing done worth mentioning.
We have believed all along that the
bond sharks who control this admins
tratiOn would never allow Cuba to be
taken until Congress provided for an
issue of bonds. They have now gotten
the bonds and the nation is mOrtgaged
to Sbylock.
We sincerely trust that the war will
now be pushed to vigorous conclusion
before the greed of Shylock demand;
another bond issue.
