The mail and express runs as the
first section of No. |, overland limited.
The second section follows only five
minutes behind. A bridge two miles

trainmen were all covered with rifles,
and the robbers took their time. The

every direction. The end OF the mail
car was blown in, and several stringers
knocked out OF the bridge. Engineer
Jones was injured ~ the flying debris.

MARCHAND AROUSES FRANCE
He Unexpectedly Lashes the Govern
ment for the Evacuation of Fa-hoda.

Chicago, June "a special cable tc
the Chicago Tribune from Paris says:
Major Marchand's speech at Toulon
has fallen like a bomb. Marchand's
previous attitude and his frequent re-
protestations OF loyalty to the govern
ment gave no Indication OF his inten-
tion to lash the government for the
evacuation OF Fashoda. The speech
is regarded as seditous.
Here is the discriminating phrase,
spoken in reference to the evacuation
Of Fashoda: Seeing what state of
division our country is il. over an
affair OF which | need not speak, We
comprehend that France could not
make the supreme effort. We felt
that our country could not make a
proud, energetic reply. Ten centuries
of history have taught her that peace
was the instant question. Happily.
peace was maintained, but l believe
can saw that OF that sort OF peace there
had better not be too much in France
IN the same century,"
AS a result OF Macrhand's speech, a
group of city councuilmen today asked
that plans for the grand reception to
Marchand at the Hotel de Vile be
countermande1. The project of police
has forbidden any one inside the sta
ton to meet tie hero save government
officials, who must be provided with
special permits
