DENOUNCED BY THE SYNOD.
Reformed. Prosbyterlans Against Al
Secret Soolaflaa.

Reformed Presbyterians Against Al
Secret Societies.
MANSFIELD, Ohio, June 3.-The ma
tional synod Of the Reformed Presby-
terrain church, in session here, de-
nounccd secret societies in the adop-
ton of the following resolutions:
First-That this synod calls on each
and every member of this church to
give force to his emphatic testimony
against every form Of oath-bound or
promise-boun secrecy, by taking a
public stand against the evil.
Second-This sy nod testifies against
those churches that knowingly permit
their members, while in allegiance to
this un-Christian system, to sit un-
disturbed at the Lords table, or allow
their minister's to o~ficiate in the
Christless rites Of the lodgeroom.
Third-In the name Of Him who is
governing among the nations, we pro-
test against the national and state
governments giving corporate exist
ence to any secret organization. The
state wrongs itself and its citizens in
permitting any association to be
formed from which the officers of the
state are excluded.
Fourth-We protest against civil
and municipal officers appropriating
funds levied on the citizens for the en-
~tertainment of any secret lodge and
also against inviting any secret soci-
ETY. to oficiate at the beginning or
completion OF any building erected by
public funds

There have been are instances OF div

inch of the body of the diver. 1t
would be impossible for the diver to
remain at these depths at work unless
he wore a heavy dress, for the water
would at once float him to the surface,

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.-Therc was
great excitement on board the
steamer Alameda upon her arrival
from Australia yesterday when it was
discovered that a box containing 5000
sovereigns was missing. Five hun
dred thousand dollars in gold had been
sent by the steamer from Sydney.
The money was shipped in twenty
steel boxes. each containing s5, ooo in
British gold. One Of these boxes was
distracted from the steamers treas

theft is apparently shrouded in deea
mystery.

BLEW UP THE EXPRESS CAR.
-Four Robbevs Seized a Union Pacific E1-
press Train in Wyoming.

press Train In
OMAHA, Neb., juno 3.-Union Pa.
cifc train No. l was held up beyond
Wilcox, Wyo., a few minutes after 2
o'clock this morning. The express
car was completely wrecked by dyna-
mite. The safe was blown open and
the contents were taken. Engineer
Jones was injured by flying debris.
The train left Omaha yesterday.
A drenching rain was falling when
the train was held up. The robbers
escaped to the mountains. According
to the officials Of the express company
they obtained only q small sum Of
money. A posse under command Of
the sheriff Of Carbon county is i in pur-
suit and officers are confident OF cap.
turing them.
Union Pacific officials received their
frs: information Of the affair from
Engineer James Jones Of the train
which was held up. His message was
as follows:
First section No. 1 held up a mile
west OF Wilcox. Express car blown
open, mail car damaged. Safe blown
open, contents gone. We were or
dercd to pull over bridge just west of
Wilcox and after we passed the bridge
the explosion occurred. Can't tell
how bad bridge was damaged. No
one hurt except Jones, scalp wound
and cut on hand.-Jones, engineer"
During the morning several other
dispatches were received containing
details. These indicated the robbers
boarded the train at Wilcox at 2:o0 a.
m. AS the train reached the bridge
one OF the robbers crawled into the
cab and at the point of a gun ordered
Engineer Jones to pull across the
bridge and stop. Meanwhile tho
others OF the gang were at work in
the express car. Just as the engine
pulled oil the bridge there was a ire
mendous explosion hat scattered the
express car for 100 feet in every direc-
ton. The end of the mail car was
stove in and several stringers knocked
from the bridge.
1t required only a few minutes for
the robbers to rife the safe, which
was blown open by the explosion.
They took its contents, signalled their
confederates on the engine, and be-
fore the passengers and train crew
were aware of what had happened
were off for the mountains. 1t re-
quired two hours to clear away the
wreckage SO the train could proceed
to Medicine low, the next station,
from which the report was sent. The
sheriff was notified al once, and with
q posse started in pursuit of the
robbers. The softness Of the ground,
caused by the rain, will aid in track
ing tho robbers. 1t is not known Just
how many there are of them, but as
only four were seen by the trainmen
it is believed that number constitutes
the party.
A later telegram conveys the infor-
nation that the west bent of the
bridge was shattered, but has been
repaired to permit the passage OF
trains. The passengers were no: mo-
Tested.
The local officials have received no
information beyond the bare fact that
the train was held up and the con-
tents of the safe taken. Nothing is
said in any Of the dispatches regard
ing tho express messenger or where
he was when the explosion occurred.

BOUND TO BE MORE FIGHTING
u IL apparent That One Faction of the

Whatever MAY lie the Commission,
Finding.

AP1A. Samoa, May 10, via San Fran
CISCO, June 5.-Admiral Kautz's proc
lamation of April %, directing Ma
taafa n his following to keep be.
yond certain defined limits around
Apla, brought about an immediate
and unconditional compliance. From
That time up to date there has been
no conflict with the rebels.
The large forts at Lotopia have been
destroyed by the Malietoans, and it is
reported that Mataafa is highly en-
ragged at this, claiming. that in the
event OF his wishing to return to the
same after the commission has made
known its decision, he onght to have
been Flowed to do SO. In the mean
time he is building forts inland of the
town Of Falcnla. and his followers
stoutly declare that even if the com
mission is unanimous against him he
will never acknowledge Tanu as king,
and will fight it out to the end.
These assertions may be only talk,
but as far as can be judged here the
question ofthe kingship does not seem
to lie within the scope Of the COM
mission. Tanu has been publicly
crowned by the American and British
authorities here. His chiefs and Tam
asese, the vice king, are carrying on
the government in a way that per-
forms all the functions of a good and
stable government and they are in
possession. Tanu is king de facto as
we'll as de jure and, in addition, there
are now in Apia $500 native men car
rying 2,7oo rifles supporting him. This
means that absolutely half Of Apia is
at present supporting the king OF
Samoa.
In the meantime the rebels nre
strengthening their positions, sending
out messengers for their sy~mpathizcrs
to com and join them and are busily
engaged manufacturing cartridges.
The loyalists, on the other hand, are
fortifying their intrenchments around
Apia and are drilled and instructed
daily by officers from the different
yarships. A four-inch gun had
been taken from II. NJ. S. Torch
and is now mounted at Mulim
in such a position as to command
the whole Of the western portion of
the municipality. The great question
is will the commission order the dis
armament OF the natives? If they do
not, it is the opinion of almost every
white resident that these islands will
not be safe to live in, and many declare
that if the natives are to retain their
rifles, never mind what other solution
OF the Samoan question is made, they
can not and will not live here with
their wives, families and property at
the mercy OF the next lot of rebels.

William Henry Preece. chief cleo
trical engineer OF the British govern
ment, recently read a paper before the
London Society OF Arts upon etheric
telegraphy. Referring to the expert
ments conducted by Prof. Marconi,
he said that both the board OF
trade and the p~ostofice department
had informed the officers of the Mar
conf company Of readiness to make a
tes. OF his system between the South
Sand Head lightship and Dover. In
spite OF these offers the Marconi COM
pany had preferred to experiment else
where. and to prove what vas not
necessary to be proved, to-wit, that IT
81 possible to signal across the straits
Of Dover. The result Is that two years
after the practicability of such Sig
mailing had been shown not one single
independent circuit exists. The oper-
ations Of the Marconi company, added
Mr.. Preese, are concentrated more
upon the operations Of the stock ex-
change than upon the establishment OF
useful circuits.
