LOADED FOR BANDITS
Missouri Pacific Train Robbers
Given a Warm Reception.
GUARDS ON THE TRAIN
ONE RoBBER CAPTURED AND
ANOTHER WOUNDED.
Captured Man Was an Engineer In
the Company's Employ, Who
Stood Well In the Community
Fully Twenty Shots Were Ex-
changed.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. ga special
to the Journal from Sedalia, Mo-, says:
Missouri Pacific passenger train No.
IA, which left st. Joseph at 2:30 p. m.
today via Kansas City, running from
the latter city over the Lexington
branch, was held up four and a half
miles west of Sedalia at 9:55, by three
masked men, one of whom, Jim west,
an engineer in the cOmpany's employ
was captured, while a second is believ-
ed to have been wounded, and the third
escaped.
Originally the hold-up was to have
occurred last Friday night, but one Of
the men implicated weakened, and the
attempt was postponed. Last night Su-
perintendent L. d. Hopkins was ap-
prised that the hold-uD was arranged
for tonight, and he prepared for it.
When the train left Kansas City, at
545 o. m, six secret service men in
the company's employ were aboard.
When the point where the attempt was
to be made was to be approached, two
/ of the men, Tom Furlong Of st. Louis
and w. w. Kay of the Missouri Pacific,
took their position in the cab of the
engine. Four more men, with Detec-
tive Frank Barnett of the Missouri Pa
! cific at Osawatomie, Kan, in charge,
were secreted in the baggage car.
One mile west of Georgetown, at
Muddy Creek, Engineer Daniels was
! signaled to stop, and did So AT once

for the first time, Gillett had simply
thrown up everything and was left
penmless. But we know he owed a
million and half of dollars, and we
cannot fad where he invested or spent
more than half that sum-"
There is a scramble at the stock
yards for every trainload OF Gillett cat
tie shipped in from his WOodbine ranch.
Three trainloads of his cattle arrived
today. The National Bank of Com
| merce got twenty cars and another
trainload was consigned to half dozen
creditor commission firms.
St Louis, Nov. 29.-The Post-Dis-
| patch has a telegram from Sedalia,
Mo, which says that Grant E. Gillett
! the So-called Kansas cattle king, lived
| in that city when young, and attended
a business college there. While at this
school he concocted a scheme to con-
solidate all the colleges in the west anC
get a corner on knowledge. He also
formulated plan for q typewriter
/ trust, but, on account of his youth
failed to get moneyed men to take hold
of the project.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 29-Two Feplevir
cases growing out of the Gillett failure
at Woodbine, Kan. last week, have
been fled in the United States courts
They involve, a total property value o.
$4,000, and the bonds required from the
plaintiffs reached a. total of $4,000
The first suit fled was by the Cont
mental National bank of St. Louis an(
involves a property value of $4,000 TIL,
other suit is to satisfy claim Of $50, 900
filed by Elmore & Coper of Kansas
City. Deputy United States Marshall
Prescott and Trigg have gone to Wood
bine and will begin the task of sorting
out the cattle wanted from the vas
herds.
1t viii require six trains of twent!
cars each to move the stock mentioned
in these two replevin cases.

Paris, Nov. 29.-The secretaries of the
two peace commissions. 1essrs. Moore
and Ojeda, began their joint task Of
formulating the articles of the peace
treaty at O'Clock this afternoon, as
directed by their respective commits
sions at Yesterdays conference. This
work viii be easy and rapid as to the
REIMBURSEMENT and cessions referred
to in the protocol, the terms of which
document VIII be transferred bodily TO
the treaty.
The secretaries, moreover, will en-
body in tentative articles for discussion
on Wednesday, the subjects of the re-
iSious freedom OF the Caroline islands,
q naval station for the United States
in the same group, cable landing rights
at other points with Spains jurisdic-
ton, the release of the insurrectiOn-
ist prisoners, and the revival of the
| treaties broken by the war.
Thus the commercial and general
treaty Of 1895 Will be revived to be re-
cast later; the treaty of 1884, for the
settlement of certain claims, viii be re-
Vived; the treaty Of 1877, providing for
eXtradition will be revived; the TRACE
mark treaty Of 1882 Will be revived. and
the supplemental eXtraditiOn treaty Of
1882 VIII be revived, in addition to seV-
I
1t is expected that the secretaries viii
submit the treaty articles at tine joint
/ session tomorrow, when all the other
/ points for negotiation VIII be discussed.
| Thus the Commissions tomorrow VIII
| have before them the entire treaty Tor
amendment, approval or rejection
| On all the gOinUs outside Of the pro-
| tOcOI there VIII be friendly negotiation
| only, Spain having the right to name
| prices she wants Tor her territory, and
I to reject or accept the American Of
| fers. The SPaniards, no less than the
! Americans, are now anxious to con-
! clude the business which brought them
| here
As the result OF the work Of Mr..
! Moore and SenOr Ojeda, the draft OF
! the articles emOodylng the protocol
/ agreements was completed this even
/ ing. 1t viii be presented to the two
( commissions tomorrow morning at their
| separate sessions, and in the afternoon
I at the joint session, when it will receive
! final consideration. There viii be
| little delay on these articles.
Mr.. Moore viii also submit tomorrow
| to the United States commissioners the
subjects to be presented to the Span
| iards for negotiation. These, for con-
/ Venience and greater dispatch are be-
ing drafted into the form of articles.
The release of the insUrgent prison
ers held by Spain viii go into the pro-
tocOL agreements, it having been al
ready agreed that Spain is to release
them upon the United States undertak-
ing to secure the release Of the Spanish
prisoners in the hands of AguinaldO.
This question is so intimately related
to the peace treaty that it has been re-
moved from the subjects that are mat
ters Of negotiation, and has been en-
bodied in the articles containing the
protocol agreements.
