Another Hold Up,

By the killing of Kid Johnson
and the capture of Broncho Bill by
officers 1t was thought that the
gang of train robbers operating in
Arizona and New Mexico was bro
ken up, but enough Of them seem
to be left to harass and annoy the
express and railroad companies.
Last Sunday night at 1916 another
hold up occurred at Grants, where
so many attempts have been made
in the past. When the train was
about three-quarters of a mile from
the station three men boarded the
engine and covered the engineer
and fireman with guns They
made the engineer unceuple the
mail and express cars and pull
ahead a mile or so, when they took
the engineer and fireman and made
them walk ahead to the express
car. The two messengers and
Guards Fowler and Mas opened
fire, but being afraid Of killing the
engineer and fireman, they did not
shoot TO kill. The robbers fred
a few shots into the car, but finally
became frightened and left without
obtaining any booty. The train
was delayed about two hours. 1t
was in charge of Conductor Barney
and Engineer Bocklett.-Argus.

headquarters that there will he :
ratteling of dry bones a. some o.
the older western posts IN the neal
future, says the Denver Times. Al
a result Of the shake.up, predic
tiOns are that a number of then
will be stricken from the list Of
necessary stations and either sold
at auction sr turned over to the
Indian service for agencies.
Whipple Barracks, Arizona, was
abandoned some time ago, and but
small handful Of men are kept
there under Lieutenant Tupes. As
negotiations for the sale of this
post are about completed, the de.
tachment will probably be with.
drawn in short time, after which
it will be turned over to custo,
dian, who will look after Uncle
Sans interests until the sale is
consummated. 1t may be used as
training ground for several Ari-
zona troops which are being fitted
for service at the front, but nothing
definite on this score is yet known.
Five years ago it was thought
the height of folly to think of
abandoning any of the Arizona
military posts, which are in the re.
gion infested with Apaches, but
to-day it seems to be the settled
policy of the government to make
these men selfsupporting, and
thel efore safe citizens, AS rapidly
as the Dawes bill requiremnts are
complied with the Indians are ad.
mitted to the rights of suffrage.
These requirements are "the sew.
eTanee of all tribal relationships
and the adoption of the modes and
habits of civilization. This will
soon cover the whole Apache
tribe, once so bloodthirsty, and it
is not improbable that the next
five months will see the abandon
ment Of Forts Apache, Grant and
Huachuea, IN Arizona, and Win
gcte and Union in New Mexico.
The only reason why the govern
ment keeps troops In those God
forsaken regions now is because Of
tancied fear Of the Indians.
lt.is also the policy Of the gov
ernment to turn over all abandon
ed military posts in the Indian
country to the red men, to be used
as agencies: thus, in Utah can be
seen the Ouray Agency, once the
site of old Fort Roubidoux; in
Montana can be seen the the Fort
Peck Agency, once the site of a
contonment of that name,
and in Arizona the Fort Defiance
Agency fourishes where once
stood that sentinel of the advance
Of civilization westward, Fort De-
fiance.
ln speaking OF the Apaches re-
Gently, General Sumner said: at
is generally misunderstood, this
question of the Apache Indians.
They are generally looked upon as
being bloedthlrsty, fierce warriors.
On the contrary, ~I never dealt
with easier Indians to handle.
They arc making as rapid strides
toward civilization as any band in
the United States and need no more
watching than many of the tribes
of the Indian Territory. The Utes
are vastly more turbulent and

The Los Angeles Times, with its
usual enterprise, is now running in
its Sunday Magazine section fine
translation of the hitherto mac.
cesslble dairy of Father Crespi, the
franciscan friar, who, with party
Of soldiers, made his Journey
through California IN 1869. This
famous dairy is the accurate record
Of that tour of exploration, during
which sites were selected for tho
missions and for the pueblos which
have since become the leading
cities of California. Its discovery
and translation supplies a most
important part of the early history
of California, which was buried
among the archives of the Catholic
Church, and which might have
been forever lost TO the world but
for the fortunate discovery which
led to its translation for the Times.
Those readers Of the Times who
care to preserve the series of maya.
zines in which the dairy is printed,
will find that they are in posses.
sion of a most valuable and interes.
ing historical record Of the begin

Faots Abont nset sugar.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s. - United
States Consul Donzelmann. at Prague.
has furnished the state department
some interesting facts relative to the
sugar production of Bohemia. He says
that the exports to the United States
from his district have fallen off $685.
GIG in the December quarter as COM
pared with the corresponding quarter
Of the previous years which loss is at
tri0utable entirely to the complete STOP
page of the expectation of sugar The
consul says that the reason for the
stoprage. according TO the dealers
sta tements, is that they shipped a large
surplus to the United States prior to
the passage Of the present tariff act
ans thus overstocked the market. They
also say that the United States this
year will run short of sugar, resulting
in a rise in the market price Of sugar
before they export any more. Hence,
they aye storing the sugar in govern
ment warehouses awaiting the expected

Indian BIZ Passed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-The house
finally succeeded in passing the Indian
appropriation bill, and the political de-
bate which has been raging since Mon
day has been transferred to the District
of Columbia BILL which followed it.
The only two important changes made
in the Indian appropriation as passed
were the elimination of the provisions
for the leasing Of the gilsonite mineral
lands of the Uncomphagre reservation
in Utah and the coal lands of the kio-
wa. Comanche. Apache and Wichita
reservations. both Of which went out on
points of order.
The features of the debate were the
speeches of Mr.. Hartman (Silver Rep,
Mon) in denunciation of the financial
policy of the administration, and DIR.
Dolliver (Rep., Ia.) in reply TO the gen.
eral attacks of the opposition.
Representative Fitzgerald of Massa-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The secre-
tary of the interior has sent to the SEN
ate the correspondence on file in his
Office bearing upon the recent burning
of two Seminole Indians in Oklahoma
by a mob of white men. The corre-
spondence reveals the fact that Chief
Brown of the Seminole nation has called
the secretary's attention to the fact that
the treaty with the United states guar
antees protection to these Indians and
indemnity for injuries resulting from
aggresslons, and that he has asked for
an Investigation of the murders and
that the secretary has directed that
Agent Wisdom proceed to the scene of
the crime and report upon the amount
of property destroyed.
It is also shown that Secretary Bliss
and Governor Barnes of Oklahoma took
prompt steps to secure the apprehension
OF the members Of the mob. In letter
dated the 18th Governor Barnes says he
is assured by the county attorney ard
sheriff and by the good citizens Of that
county that every effort will be made to
disclose the participants in the affair.

The Naval Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-It is re-
garded as settled that the naval ap-
preparation bill now being framed by
house subcommittee will contain three
important items-namely, S1,000,00O for
smokeless powder S5OO,O0O for reserve
ammunition and $4,000 for the estab-
lishment of a government powder fac
tory.
The matter of having an ample sup
ply Of powder in order to meet the re-
quirements of our naval vessels in an
emergency has received careful atten-
ton from members Of the committee.
As long as the old style of black powder
was in use the many private companies
making this article gave assurance that
a supply could be secured on short no.
tice. Now, however, with the general
adoption of smokeless powder, the op-
portunities for speedy supply are said
to be much reduced. For that reason it
it proposed to allow S1,OOO,0OO for the
purchase of this article and at the same
time provide a government factory
which will thereafter produce an ample
supply.
The item of $500, 900 for reserve am
munition will cover all classes Of naval
material, large and small to meet re-
quirements of vessels nearing compile

THE slNeERLy FAILURE.
The Proposed Liquidation scheme Not
Yet Contaminated.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2S.-There is
ssill no change in the situation OF the
affairs of the Chestnut Street National
bank and the Chestnut Street Trust
and Saving Fund company, and It is
said that all depends upon the result Of
the coming conference between Comp
troller Dawes and Messrs. Earle and
Cook, managers Of the proposed plan
OF settling the affairs of the two in
stitutions.
The stockholders of the bank met
yesterday and voted in favor of volun-
tary liquidation. The banking laws re-
quire, before the government can con-
sent tos such a step, that the stock
holders by at least a two-thirds vote
shall formally declare themselves in
favor Of such a proposition. Out Of a
total of 5000 shares, 3,9fS were present
at the meeting. The plan proposed by
Messrs. Earle and Cook. which has re-
ceived a setback by Comptroller Dawes
required amendments, was fully 3dis-
cussed. A vote was then taken TO de-
clare in favor Of voluntary liquidation
There were no negative votes.
Messrs. Earle and Cook declined to
discuss the situation further than to
say that they did not see how the plan
could be put in operation If the comp
troller insists upon his conditions. The
hope of the managers Of the plan is
that when the comptroller arrives here
and the situation is carefully gone over
some compromise may be effected that
will insure the success Of the plan and
prevent the appointment Of receiver.
