AMERICAS SHAME.

Although it is called "treason" by
the Administration organs to say SO,
while the brave American soldiers
we're giving their lives in defense Of
their country during the war with
SPAN, rascally American contractors
were making that same war a fruit.
full opportunity to rob the Govern
ment. Investigation which was not
quite stifled, in spite Of the men in
high places to whose dirty fingers
stuck the blood-stained money, the
price of American lives on the field
of battle, sho wed that no chance was
lost to turn dishonest penny, or pay
a political obligation by placing the
shoulderstraps upon r1ch or infiuen-
tlal monkeys.
Tho citizens of Winnemucca we're
given an object lesson yesterday
which shows that the the disgraceful
practice of the Spanish war ID being
followed in the Philippines. This
nation provides royalty for it's SOL
diers and their support. The people
Lave placed millions at the disposal
of the Government-not to be paid
out to satisfy political obligations,
not to be squandered on rascally con-
tractors, who would stick an Ameri-
can soldier with as little thought as
they would stick pig for price,
but to equip and feed the soldiers
who are beng hurried across the land
and sea to carry on the fight in the
Orient.
Yesterday four tralnloads of SOL
diers passed through this place. The
soldiers we're permitted to leave their
cars. Why? To see Winnemucca?

beg from Tor to door the food for
which Ehey were starving.
Their story was a pitiful one. For
eight men one can of beef (Alger's
beef, probably and a package of
food four inches wide, two inches
thick and six inches long is furnished
daily-half bite for Nevadan. The
soldiers who had money purchased
food; those who had not went hun
CRY, or begged from door to door,
Haggard faced men in the uniform of
American soldiers could be seen hum
grily looking into the shop windows,
furnishing for the food before their
eyes, but too poor to buy and too
proud to beg.
Such is Americas disgrace. The
generous people have provided iber-
ally for their soldiers; but the money,
instead OF being expended upon
them, is being squandered as it was
during the Spanish war, upon rascals
who would sell their country for less
silver than tempted Judas to the be-
trayal of his Master.
The contractors, the transportation
companies, the politicians who are
robbing The Nation at the expense Of
the American soldier; who are taking
tbs bread from the mouths of the de-
tenders of the Nation, are the loudest
IN their praise of the men who suffer
and die for Old Glory. But their
praise is as inslncere as the smooth
talk Of the confidence man who pre-
paree to rob and even murder HE
victim. When a celebration in honor
Of the soldiers is proposed, the rob-
bers take few hundreds from the
thousands that they have stolen, and
subscribe to the entertainment fund.
The money has blood on it, however,
and blood money should not be &C.
-cepted for such cause. It is vain
for such men to prate Of patriotism
for they know not the meaning of the
word.-Silver State.

New Yorks Abduction Mystery Partially
Cleared Up.
GARNERvILLE, n. Y. June s.-Marion
Clark, the 2-year-old child kidnapped
from her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Clark of New York city, on May 81,
was discovered two miles south Of
Sloatsburg, a village about eight miles
from here. She was found at the farm
house of Charles Youmans and was in

TRAIN HELDUP
Express Car of the Union Pacific
Flyer Destroyed by by.
Mantle.
Safe Also Dynamited and the
Contents Taken by
Bandits.
Usual Statement That the Sum
Secured Was Not
Large.
The Job Done Almost Before
Passengers Realized the
Situation.

OMAHA. Neb., June 3.-Union Pacific
train No. l was held up at Wilcox,
Wyo., few minutes after 2 o'clock q.
m. The express car was completely
wrecked by dynamite. The safe was
blown open and the contents were
taken. Engineer Jones was injured by
flying debris. The Union Pacific off,
cials furnish the following account of
the robbery:
Just before daylight, in the midst of .
drenching rain, the train was held up
just beyond Wilcox, Wyo. The rob
bers blew up the express car with dyna-
mite, wounding the engineer, and then
escaped to the mountains.
According to the officials Of the ex-
press company the robbers obtained
only nominal reward for their daring
crime. A posse under command of the
sheriff Of Carbon county is in pursuit
and officers are confident of capturing
them. Union Pacific officials received
the first information of the affair from
Engineer Jones of the train which was
held up. His message was as follows:
First section No. held up a mile
west of Wilcox. Express car blown
open; mail car damaged. Safe blown
open; contents gone. We were ordered
to pull over bridge just west Of Wilcox
and after we passed the bridge the ex.
plosion occurred. Can't tell how bad
bridge was damaged. No one hurt ex.
cept Jones. scalp wound and cut on
.. hand. JONES, Engineer"
1t required two hours to clear away
the wreckage so the train could proceed
to Medicine Bow, the next station, from
which the report was sent. The sheriff
was notified at once and with q posse
started in pursuit of the robbers. The
soft ground caused by the rain will aid
tracking the robbers. It is not posi-
lively known just how many there are
Of them. but as only four were seen by
the train men it is believed that that
number constituted the party. The
passengers were scared nearly ont of
their wits, but the robbers made no ef-
fort to molest them, confning their op-
erations to the express car. The local
officials have received no information
beyond the fact that the train was held
up and the contents of the safe taken.
They say the safe contained very little
of value. Nothing is said in any Of the
dispatches regarding the express mes
senger or where he was when the ex-
plosion occurred, but it is believed he
escaped alive.

Presidents Angel aud Rogers Endorss

CHICAGO, June 3.-The Tribune prints
signed statements from James B. An.
CELL. president of the University of
Michigan, and Henry Wade Rogers.
president Of the Northwestern univer.
sity, discussing the plans for peace now
being considered at The Hague. Mr..
Angel, an eminent authority on inter-
national law, and who served as Ameri-
can minister to China. and later in the
same position to Turkey. says:
The same objection that proved
fatal to the Olney-Pauncefote treaty,
that our nations must submit questions
which would be fatal to its independ-
ence or to its highest interest to submit,
does not lie against the American prop
osition. Nor, if understand the scheme,
does the other objection to that treaty
lie, that the senate was deprived of it's
constitutional right to decide on what
questions should be submitted. There
is no compulsion to submit any ques-
ton. The provision is that any or all
questions of disagreement may be sub
mitted by the signers of the treaty or
by other nations ON certain conditions.
while it is impossible to say in ad-
vance how far such an international
court could be made useful, it is to be
hoped that trial may be made Of it..
For the creation Of it is the result Of a
noble inspiration, which itself will con-
duce to the preservation of peace"

asked.
u am opposed to such alliances, and so
far as | know the sentiment of every man

long Is opposed to them. And | will say
this. that my mind Is perfectly open to
consider events and conditions as they may
develop, and II at any time 1t appeared
that expansion meant alliances with Eng

| would be opposed TO expansion. My opin-
ions In favor of expansion are based upon
the assumption that no power could inter-
fere with us and no combination could be
| made against us necessituting an alliance
| with any European power"
| England seems to think an alliance
! with her would be necessary was sug-
| gested.
England deceives herself. II is not the
nrst time she has made miscaIculations
about America. America in the past has
not needed her menaces as In the civil
war. or her cajoleries as In other epochs.
and In my judgment 1t is those who are in
favor OF expansion who are the strongest
buiwark against the danger Of any foreign
alliance, notice, however, among Ire
| opponents of expansion the names of men
who have been generally to the front "a
yoring measures toward making American
sentiment trustful. aud who have been
favorable toward England"
