CONDUCTOR HELD UP.
Robbed by Four Armed Highwaymen,
Who Also Cut His Train in Two.

ELYRIA, o., Sept. IA Lake Shore
freight train was held up near here last
night and the conductor robbed. When
train No. IS was about two miles west of
here Conductor Burt Null started from the
oaboose for the head of the train He was
suddenly halted by four men who thrust
levolvers in his face and told him to hand
over his valuables. Null promptly gave the
tramp highwaymen his gold watch and So
all the valuables he had. The men then
ordered him to proceed on his way toward
the engine and by way of punctuating their
remarks fired their revolvers several times
The men next cut the train in two and
started for the caboose to find the rear
brakeman. The brakeman however, heard
the shooting and surmsed what had hap
pened. and locked himself in. The highway
men fired several shots at the brakeman,
but without effect. They then jumped from
the train and escaped in the woods. The
trainmen were unarmed.

The Cabinet Censured by Rightist
Senator's and IDENTITIES.

PARIS, Sept. 27.-The Rightist senators
and deputies at meetings held to-day.
passed resolutions denouncing the revision
of the Dreyfus case. The former declared
that the governments decision was taken
in spite Of the resignation of two ministers
Of war and the vote of the Chamber Of
Deputies, and condemned the ministers for
not convoking Parliament and for disre-
garding the armys honor. The deputies of
the Right party declared the government
had violated its pledges not to agree to the
revision, in virtue of which the Chamber
voted confidence in the Ministry, con-
demned the Cabinet for changing the Drey-
fus affair from judicial to political
question and demanded the convocation of
Parliament. A deputatiOn of twelve mem
bers of the Right party was appointed to
present the resolution to President Faure
but ne refused to receive the deputation,
on the ground that the procedure was I'M
constitutional
The discussion at yesterdays Cabinet
meeting was practically confined TO the
premier and the minister of justice, NM.
Brisson and Sarrien. Replying to the lat

the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry's con-
fession of forgery changed the whole as

scruples arise from personal considerations,
If you do not deem yourself sufficiently
armed to undertake. without hesitation, all
your responsibility you need not leave us.
You can remain without having to sign the
letter referring the case to the court of
cessation Take the portfolio of the interi-
or. / will take that of Justice and thus all
the responsibility will devolve upon me-"
Nj. Sarrien yielded to this appeal
At Cabinet council held to-day at which
NJ. Faure, the President of France. presided
the minister of justice communicated to
those present the letter he had addressed
to the court of cessation in which he sub

M. Sarrien, in his circular to the public
prosecutors says: "A veritable campaign of
Insults and defamation of the chiefs of the
army has broken out. These attacks have
assumed an exceptionally grave character
and are calculated to destroy discipline and
shake the confidence of the soldiers in their
chiefs and introduce a germ of disorganiza-
ton into the army. These attacks are par
tlcularly unjustified in view of the fact that
the Dreyfus affair has entered upon Judi

can only oppose silence to the calumnies
