Union Pacific HOid-Up.

Union Pacific HOid-Up.
OGDEN, Utah, Oct. 23.-Sheriff Layne.
of this city, returned from Idaho Saturday,
bringing with him two men who have been
identified as participants in the Union Pa
cific train robbery at Rock Creek, Wyo-,
June 2.
That affair will be remembered because
of the large amount of booty secured by
the robbers. and the long chase across the
deserts and mountains in which Sheriff
Hazen, of Rawlins. was killed. The ar
rests are noteworthy because they will no
doubt lead to the breaking up of the gang
and the discovery of the eonfederates who
aided in their escape.

the plans for the six new cruisers recently au-
tholized. The naval board of construction has
produced plans which are, as the Scientific
American" points out, a distinct step backward
These new cruisers are 10 be Of 800 tons dis
placement, 292 feet load water line length. IS
feet beam, and 200 tons bunker capacity. There
is to be ON each Of these ships battery consist
ing Of ten 5-ineh rapid-fre guns, eight 6pounders
two I-pouudeTs, and two machine guns. They
are to have also partially protected deck for
one-third of their length. The Scientific Ameri-
can compares them with the Montgomery in this
manner: The Montgomery being a cruiser Of the
unprotected clasS-that is, having mo- protective
deck, but merely a thin 'watertight' decks the
ship which naturally suggests itself first for com
plrison. Her FUN load displacement is 2 .s29 tons
or adding 80 tons for sheathinG, say 1850 TONS
which is LEG tons less than that Of the new
ships. Yet in spite Of this disparity, The smaller
and older boat has tine same battery aud two and
one-balf knots higher speed; whereas on an in
crease of 100 tons in displacement, the new de.
signs only show an advantage OF 500 tons %
coal and two inches Of steel laid on the slopes
Of the unprotected deck for third of he vessels
length amidships. The Montgomery, moreover
carries two torpedo tubes. The extra speed and
the torpedo outfit offset the extra coal carried bv
the new boats. 80 that we have about E00O tons OF
displacement unaccourted for, il We admit
that the accommodations for officers and crew

facts set forth IL calls attention to the provision

eording to their plans. II is to bgs hoped that
