WILL BE A GREAT MAN HUNT.
ARMED POSSES WILL SEARCH OUT
WESTERN OUTLAWS.

Railroad Companies Have Put n
Price of $4,000 Each on the Heads
of the Wyoming Train Robbers.
About 200 Cowboys and scouts
VIII Hunt Them TO Their Lair in
the "HOIe I'm the WaH"-Nany bad
Criminals Among the Bandits.
Casper, Wyo.. June 1.-THE Hole in
the Wall" for years a refuge for out
laws, promises to be cleansed of its des-
perate inhabitants.
The daring robber bands which looted
the Union Pacific Express at Rock Creek
recently and escaped to the fastness of
their dens in the Hole in the Wall" in
spite Of the fact that they were closely
pursued over plain and mountain, are to
be systematically hunted TO their deaths
For this purpose the several railroad
managers with interests in this state are
organizing p"sses and the outlaws will
be given no rest. II is expected 200 men
will be engaged in the big man hunt.
The state express and railroad compa-
nies have offered an aggregate of $1,000
each for the heads of the members OF the
band. In addition to this head money. in
the event of success, the men who are
arranging for this chase will be armed
and fed by the corporations and big cattle
companies Of this section during the time
they are engaged.
Thus they are enabled to enlist a typical
band of rough riders and every man of
them a dead shot. Many Of them are
cowboys; others are old frontlersmen who
have fought Indians in the same terri
tory over which they will now pursue the
bandits. and still others are the trained
detectives OF the big corporations.
The various bands of man hunters viii
be accompanied by Indian trailers, blood
hounds and pack trains. The men are
all to be sworn in as deputy sheriffs and
will be in charge of the officers of the sew
eral counties In Northwestern Wyoming.
The six road agents who looted the TN
ion Pacific Express box win not oppose
this small army alone. II is estimated
that at least fifty men, on whose heads
there are prices set, and who are wanted
ia many states, will be found hiding there.
Some of them are following the peaceful
pursuits of farmers and ranchers and only
seek TO hide their Identity. Many of these
men are convicted criminals and some Of
them are under sentence of death.
1t is commonly stated that Bob Taylor
the condemned Missouri murderer. Is
living there, herding cattle for another
murderer, George Bake, who killed his
wife at Cheyenne.

of negroes, did its work very quietly. The

PRINCIPLE AND EXPEDIENCY.
Grounds of Germnny's Opposition 10
Arbitration.


London, June 12.-The correspondent of
the Daily News at The Hague says:
II learn that DR.. Zorn, the German del
egate. spoke on Friday against arbitra-
ton. When 1 asked him for a copy of his
speech I got a point blank refusal, DR.
zorn saying:
All l can tell you is that Fridays sit
ting was extremely interesting and that
1 presented Germany's objections to the
scheme for a permanent arbitration tri-
bunal.'
Notwithstanding this, am able TO send
a full analysis of his speech. He spoke
slowly and with difficulty in French. He
asserted that he was instructed to say
that Germany could not accept the prin-
ciple of permanent arbitration embodied
in Sir Julian Pauncefote's draft She OBJ
jected, firstly, on principle, and, secondly,
on grounds of expediency.
He then proceeded to argue that it
was derogatory to monarch's sovereign
ty and to a nations independence. Arbi-
tration agreed upon between two nations
for a narrowly defined object was one
thing, and arbitration binding a nation
for the unknowable future was quite an
other. A King, holding his title by divine
right, could not think of divesting himself
of an essential part of his sovereignty.
the right to shape the nations course at
critical time.
Emperor William DIR. Zorn said.
would not pledge himself to bow to the
decisions of judges not appointed by him
on cases that had not yet arisen. These
were the objections of principle.
'The objections of expediency were on
the score of expense and the possibility
that the tribunal, under the rendering
of iniquitous decisions, might bring the
principle of arbitration into discredit.
DIR. Zorn concluded his speech amid
painful silence.
he thought the objections of the German
which many might consider not altoget her
modern.
LAS to the doubts expressed regarding
the fitness of the Judges, 1 have no doubt,
said Sir Julian, that every state would
take pride in nominating its best men,.
Il understand that Dr. Zorns instruc-
tions were sent under a misapprehension,
as some of the objections would only ap-
ply TO the oder schemes superseded by
the British draft"
The correspondent of the Morning Post
at The Hague asserts that at last Fridays
meeting DR.. Zorn opposed the arbitration
scheme, but adds that negotiations are
proceeding between The Hague and Ber-
lin.

ANOTHER NEW YoRK MYSTERY.
HeadIess, MutiIated Trunk of Man
Found In the Water.

New York, June n.-An autopsy was
performed to-day upon the dismembered
and headless trunk of a man who was
found floating by the ground OF the Cres-
cent Athletic Club, Brooklyn yesterday.
An examination of the body yesterday
created the impression that murder had
been committed and that the murderer
had followed the methods of Martin Thorn
IN the case of GuIdensuppe The only
dinerence was that there was no wrap
ping around the headless trunk, or any
thing by which TO identity IT,
A coroner's physician, who performed
the autopsy in Brooklyn, found that the
heart and almost the entire portion Of
each lung was missing. The exposed
breast muscles had the appearance of
having been torn apart, instead of severed
by an instrument. The bones at the ends
or the two stumps OF the legs are badly
splintered, and evidently not the work of
a saw or hatchet. The stomach was filled
with water and the two remaining ribs
had been smashed and broken.
Dr. Hartung, the examining physician,
gave as his opinion that the missing part
OF the trunk and also the portions of the
legs which were missing below the knees
could have been cut away in the same
clean manner by the propeller OF an ocean
liner. He seemed to have much faith In
this theory that the body had been hit by
the propeller OF an ocean liner He viii
make his official report tomorrow
Chief of Detectives Reynolds also holds
to the theory of accident, and says that
nothing has developed to substantiate the
theory of murder. Several persons called
at the morgue to-day to identify IL pos
slble the dismembered body, but no one
could do so.

A repetition of yesterdays tragedy at
Manchester when Tom Baker, the prin-

brother of Sheriff White, OF CLAY county

"The idea Of having the United States
mediate between Great Britain and the
South African republic is being favorably
discussed In all quietness In important
commercial circles here. II Is pointed out
that al present no Power stands so close
20 Great Britain as the United States,
while at the same time the fact that the

Dutch in the East OF the union would be
regarded by the Beers as factor recon-

ton of the United States as an arbfter."
