ROBBERS ARE IN JAIL
Men Held in Montana Identified as Union
Pacific Holdups,
BOTH or THE MEN ARE RECOGNIZED
1t Is Declared They Are the Roberts
Highwaymen-Postal Clerk Who Was
on the Dynamited Train Is Quite Posi-
tive.

ST. PAUL, June ga Helena,
Mont, special to the Pioneer Press
says:
United States Marshal Woolman has
advices from Beaverhead county indi-
eating that the two suspects captured
there Tuesday by under sheriffs are
the men implicated in the Union Pa
cific robbery, for whose capture re-
ward of $4,000 is offered.
Deputy United States Marshal Bush
of Utah, who has seen the Roberts
brothers, notorious highwaymen, for
whom the government has been on the
lookout since the robbery of the Big
Piney postoffice in Uintah county,
Wyoming, and one OF the postal clerks
by the name of Ditrick, who was
aboard the train that was robber at
Wilcox, Wyoming, arrived at Dillon
yesterday. They proceeded at once to
the county Jail and both identified the
men.
The deputy marshal is certain that
they are Roberts brothers, while the
postal clerk is certain that they be-
longed 10 the gang that held up the
train.
Marshal Hodsell of Wyoming today
telegraphed Marshal Woolman that the
men are positively identified and that
the Big Piney warrants be sent at
once.
Marshal Woolman also received a
message from Under Sheriff Moore of
Beaverhead county stating that the
Wyoming men who knew Roberts
brothers would arrive in Dillon tomor-
row morning, fully able to identify
them. AS soon as the Identification
is further strengthened the men will
be given an early hearing at Dillon
before the United States commissioner
for the purpose of identification. That
official Will probably hold them to the
federal court of Wyoming. Then APP
plication will be made for a warrant
of removal. Sheriff Dunn of Carbon
county, who is leading a posse Of three
men up the Sinking Water after sIA
suspects, has not been heard from
since last Wednesday, and it is feared
he may have been overcome by super
ior numbers.

ALL DEPENDS ON ILLINOIS.
Mayor Harrison of Chicago Says 1t can
Make or Break Bryan.


Make or Break Bryan.
CHICAGO, June 26.-Mayor Harri-
son declares that Illinois may decide
whether William J. Bryan will be
elected president in 1900. The mayor
makes this statement in a letter he
has written to D. Turnbolt, democrat
of Lincoln, ILL., Mr.. Turnbolt wrote
the mayor asking him why the per-
sonal differences between the former
governor and himself should not be
made up, so that the party could pre-
sent united front next year. The
letter says:
81 agree thoroughly with you that
Governor Altgeld and I should settle
our personal misunderstanding through
personal means. This is acting on the
theory that we have any personal mis-
understanding. AS far as | am con-
cerned, l have absolutely no personal
differences with the ex-governor. The
protest filed by the democratic state
central committee against Governor
Altgeld and his man Devlin at the st.
Louis conference does not really con-
Germ me as an individual. The protest
against Messrs. Altgeld and Devlin is
committeeman of the democratic party
Of the state Of Illinois, and who had
been persistently ignored in all party
matters for the past two years.
UNLESS the regular organization Of
Illinois receives proper recognition l
personally would despair Of success in
carrying the state of Illinois for the
national ticket of 1900. Mr.. Bryan will
undoubtedly be the democratic nomi-
nee at that time. With the state Of
Illinois casting it's electoral vote for
him he would probably be seated as
the successor of President Mckinley
but Illinois cannot be expected to give
her electoral vote for the democratic
candidate for the presidency il the
regular organization is hampered in
its work, and if reward is held out
for the political boiler and the political
traitor"
Ex-Governor Altgeld declares that
the railroads will be placed under fire
by the democratic national conven-
ton. 1T is my belief" said the ex-
governor, that if the convention were
to be held within thirty days it would
almost unanimously adopt plank
favoring governmental ownership of
railroads.
without continuous assistance from
the railroads the trusts could not sur
vive year. If they had to transact
business on the same terms as their
competitors, which do not belong to
a trust, they would quickly disinte-
crate and go to pieces"

CARS PEACE PROPOSAL.
He Asks Only That for the Present In
creasing OF Arnlamen Cease.

nc ASKS only Inat IOr the Present In
creasing OF Armament Cease.
THE HAGUE, June 26.--M. de Staal,
president Of the peace conference, at
a meeting of the committee, intro
duced the Russian proposals looking
TO the arrest of ornaments and read
declaration disclaimiEg all intention
OF proposing reduction Of the arma-
ments at present. But, he added, he
was of the opinion that If a stand
still could be agreed upon a reduction
would soon come of itself. All the
powers, he explained, had conferred
with the ear relative to the immense
evils of armed peace, and he, NJ. de
Staal, now appealed to them to devote
their energies toward the arrest of
the continental increase in the cost of
armed peace, which, he asserted, cost
more than a tremendous war.
Colonel Gillinsky of the Russian
delegation moved that the powers
should enter into an understanding
for term of, say five years, not to
increase the effectiveness of the peace
footing OF their forces, with the eX-
ception of the colonial troops, and not
to increase the amount OF their mill
tary budgets beyond their present fig
ura
The speeches and the resolution
were ordered to be printed and circu-
lated and the discussion was adjourned
until Monday.
In spite of the refusal of Archmed
Reza Bey of the young Turks party to
fight duel with Rechid Bey, secre-
tary of Turkham Pasha, head of the
Turkish delegation at the peace con-
ference, Ammoghian, an Armenian,
who was to have been one of the
! speakers at the meeting of the young
| Turks party, has written a letter to
the Vaterland, denying remarks at
tributed to him, but nevertheless &C
cepting the challenge which Reza Bey
declined on the ground that duelling
has aroused extraordinary interest
among all classes.
The drafting committe of the arbi-
tration commission spent the after
noon in considering articles l and 7
of the Russian proposals. All that is
left now is the drafting of regulations
for the boards procedure.
liz lhiol lIOIH Is
that Emperor William will not sepa-
rate himself from the other powers in
the arbitration question, and the Ger
man delegates anticipate a favorable
decision on that point. The work is
now so far advanced that the confer
ence will probably take holiday aft
er June % in order to allow the dele
gates to refer to their respective gov
ernments for final decision.
Mr.. Frederick Hollis of the American
delegation, abiding to the German at
titude, said:
This mater is much exaggerated.
Active negotiations took place, but
Germany is in no way irreconcilable
and would not hesitate any more than
any other power to agree to an arbi-
tration court established on an accept
able basis.
The Turks themselves state that no
one is able to say they object to the
arbitration scheme; that when the
proposal has been finally shaped they
will examine it and only then give in
If the wording of the scheme contains
points not covered by their instruc-
tions."

DUBUQUE, Ia, June 27.-Concern-
ing the report that he has decided on
Congressman Payne and Hit for chair
man on ways and means and appro-
priations, respectively, and on Mr..
Babcock for member on rules, Colonel
Henderson says:
This is news to me, as these COM
mittees have never been the subject Of
conversation or correspondence with
any of the gentlemen named. 1t is a
comfort to have all the committees
mapped out for me by the feftile-mind-
ed boys who keep things lively in the
newspapers.
Nothing is settled and will not be
until an election to the speakership
gives me the right to pass on these
uuestionS"

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Private
Wesley Kirby of Company H, Twenty
fourth infantry, was shot through the

Conspiracy In Peru.

LIMA, Peru, June 26.-The govern
ment asserts that 1t is greatly sur
prised by a batch OF letters OF ex-
President Caceres to parties in a re-
quest relative to conspiracy against
the president and touching on the po-
litical situation. Several important
personages have been taken in custody
in consequence Of the receipt of these
letters. 1t is generally considered
that the present administration,
though 1t may have made many errors,
has worked honestly for the we'll be-
ing and progress Of Peru, and the Gao
erist movement, therefore, is almost
universally condemned.

COST OF LIVING.
A Comparison Of the Various Capitals
of Europe shows Vienna to BE
tho Cheapest.

An investigation into the compare
tive cost of living at the various Euro
pean capitals resulted IN the following
facts: AT Vienna the prices OF most
articles of food are lowest; at Madrid
they are dearer than in any other cap
ital, and such things as bread, meat,
sugar and coal are very expensive in
deed. AT st. Petersburg also the price
of bread is still considered a luxury
above the means of The working classes.
Next to Vienna Brussels is an inexpen-
sive city; Paris is a little higher in the
scale, while London is still more ex-
pensive. An American spends on an
average $50 a year for food, French
man S4s, a German S45, Spaniard
S33, an Italian S24 and a Russian
$40. OF meat the American eats
100 pounds a year, the Frenchman
81 pounds, the German 81 pounds,
the Italian % pounds and the
Russian 81 pounds. Cfbread the Amer
lean consumes $50 pounds, the French
man $40 pounds, the German $50
pounds, the Spaniard $50 pounds. the
Italian 400 pounds and the Russian 655
pounds. Outside of Europe, in times of.
peace, Manila is cheaper to live in than
any other city in the world.
