the coast NOV. Z. All on board were
saved. The Charleston, which was
built in San Francisco in 1888, had a
displacement Of $3.50 tons, was 312 feet,
Z inches in length, 46 feet, 2 inches IN

Washington, Nov. 14.-The Charles

than a year. She was one Of the first
vessels to be sent to Manila after the
destruction of the Spanish fleet by Ad-
miral Dewey, the navy department

ing ammunition and other supplies for
the Asiastic station. Just previous to
her assignment to that duty she had
undergone overhauling at the Mare

therefore was in prime condition. She
was one of the vessels of more recent
construction and belonged to that class
which is commonly referred to as the
''new navy" Her commander was Cap

TRAINS ROBBED SINCE 1890.

More than twenty times a year rail-
way trains in the United States are
held up and robbed. The criminals
who follow this dangerous pursuit are
fearless, and it is said that there is but
one possible measure that will go to
check their vicious careers. Few trav-
elers know that since vne year 1890
there have been 230 hold-ups in this
country, with more than eighty per-
sons killed outright and nearly as
many wounded. The desperadOes usu-
ally work in gangs, and are difficult to
run down. After committing robbery
they terrorize the country for miles
about, and do not hesitate at killing a
man who may be a witness against
them. In consequence their atrocities
are seldom punished, and the wretches
who have slain women and stolen prop
erty live and flourish, waiting for
fresh opportunity for crime. AS it is
always express cars that suffer from
robbers congress was not long ago petit
toned to grant federal protection to
the express companies. Mail cars are,
it is alleged, rarely attacked by rob-
bers, for the reason that such robberies
are crimes against the United States,
and are promptly brought up in the
federal courts, where the culprits re-
ceive severe sentences and no mercy
On the other hand, the robbers who at
tack express trains commit crime not
against the nation but against a corpo-
ration. Their conviction, therefore,
has to be looked after by the state, and
when crime is committed so near the
border of one state that the criminals
can escape by running into the next
long legal complications are likely to
ensue, which often end in the robbers
going free. At all events, unless some
thing is done by congress the present
danger will continue to threaten every
train that runs.

fact that, up TO lSSs, there were a
