EXPRESS CAR BURGLARY
Missouri Bandits Accomplish An
other Brilliant Trick.
The Kansas City, Pittsburgh a. Gulf
Messenger Submits to the Press
ing Demands of Two Men
Now at Large.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. AFTER about
three months of inactivity Kansas City
train robbers scored another brilliant
achievement tonight. This time the
Kansas City, Pittsburg e. Gulf road is
the sufferer The company's Port Ar
thur special, which left the depot here
at $40 O'Clock tonight was robbed be-
fore 1t had passed beyond the city linz
its. Two men, whom no one but the
express messenger seems to have seen.
climbed into the express car as the
train left the depot. They overpowered
the messenger, bound and gagged him
and rlfied the car before the train came
to a stop. When the train slowed up
at a railroad crossing, known as Airline
Junction, they left the car and disap-
peared. Nothing was known of the rob
berry until a negro train porter entered
the ear and found the powerless ex
press messenger. At this hour nothing
Is known az to the amount of the booty
secured.
After the train had been stopped and
others of the crew had gone forward
and released the express messenger, it
was found that the robbers had rined
the local safe, taking from 1t every
thing of value. They had made no effort
to disturb the through safe, which is
protected by a time lock.
From Air Line Junction, telegraph
report of the robbery was sent to the
city and the train proceeded south
The Wells-Fargo company controls the
express business on the Pittsburg &
Gulf road. At the express companys
office here Mr.. Teas, the local mana
ger stated that there was not much of
value in the local safe and that $500 or
$500 would probably cover the COM
pany's loss. In police circles. however,
the impression prevails that the rob
bers secured several thousand dollars
in money and jewelry.
The report received at the express
company's office here states that the
robbers entered the express car as the
train was pulling out of the yards, hav-
ing forced the rear door with jimmies.
n. Hyde of Kansas City was the ex-
press messenger Upon turning from
his work he looked into the barrel of a
six-shooter. The messenger offered no
resistance. though he was we'll armed.
and after the robbers had bound him
one of them stood guard over him While
the other rlned the safe.
The robbers are described as smooth
faced young men, and the fact that
both were extremely nervous while in
the express car is taken as evidence
that they are new recruits to Kansas
City's force of train robbers.
At Z o'clock special train was sent
to the scene of the robbery with q force
of policemen and marshals and these
men are now securing the country
along the river banks in search of the
robbers.
Though to-night's robbery is the first
that has occurred on the Pittsburg &
Gulf line, 1t is the sixth crime of the
kind perpetrated in Kansas City within
Is months There have been several
arrests of alleged train robbers during
this time, but there has not been "A sin

be no successor to Mr.. MCCULLOUGH as
traffic manager and he will continue TO
manage the affairs of that department
as he has done heretofore.
The Western roads met to-day for the
purpose of considering the question OF
homeseekers' excursions. and they
reached an agreement which even us
friends admit will not last for any
great length of time. They decided they
would meet all homeseekers rates made
to points in the South, but that none
of these rates will be made from TINS
city. The bulk of the excursion busl-
ness il being carried by the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas and the PittsDurS'
Denver & Gulf and other roads run
ming in that direction. The roads have
decided that they will meet the rates
of these lines. but will keep the excur-
sion rates out of Chicago as long as
possible 1t is generally admitted, how
ever, that it will be impossible to keep
the rates out of the market.
The Great Northern and Northern "a
cific to-day notified Chairman CaldWell
that in their opinion it was not wise
for them to enter at this time OF the
year into any arrangement to run home
seekers excursions into their territory,
as the excursions would not pay and
the roads would be disorganizing rates
to no purpose.

Consul Il. Crittenden, formerly governor
of Missouri. declined to talk for publ

journey. Governor Critteden, seen lat

Mr.. Bryan's trip through Mexico, he
said was like a triumphal entry from
beginning to end. He was accorded n
welcome from the time he entered the
country until he left such as no pri-
vate citizen of any country received
there. The only way / can describe 1t
is by saying that the 500 miles lro:u

Trading Corporations.
Washington. Jan. 4.-The second issue
II the daily consular reports from the
bureau of foreign commerce of the
state department is devoted to report
from United States Consul Smith at
Victoria, upon the laws of British Co
lumbia relative to stock companies and
trading corporations. Mr.. Smith says
the question arose as to whether obSta-
cles We're being placed in the way of
corporations of the United States oper
ating in Canadian territory. He TayS
investigation shows that such IS no
the case; the laws are the same for
citizens of the United states as for res
idents of the province. In order to pre-
vent fraud, however, regulations have
been recently passed by the provincial
parliament requiring an Official repre-
sentative of the foreign corporation to
be a resident of the province. Mr..
Smiths report gives in detail all of the
provisions of the law regulating the
practice of foreign corporations in
British Columbia.

the approximate acreage being 3,a6e,00O
us against 3,I9S,000 acres last year. There
has been a material increase in wheat

condition of wheat. The present ave-
rage is SIS per cent, as against SAL per

Unfavorable results of drought and
late seeding have been partially coun-
teracted by favorable weather during
