Illinois Central Passenger Train
Held Up by Robbers Near

Carried Away.
Train Bearing $3, 900, 900 % in Gov

-PADUcAH, KY, July l2.-The Illinois:
Central fast train from New Orleans to
Chicago was held up and robbed of
$4,000 two miles south gof Wickliffe,
KY. The train was tagged and the
robbers, six in number, cut off the en-
gine and express car and ran a mile
and half to Fort Jefferson near the
Ohio river, and within sight of the Mis-
souri, shore. There they blew the ex-
press safe and secured all valuables it
contained. They left the engine and
looted car and crossed into Missouri.
They dropped one package containing
$500 on the Kentucky side, and another
package on the Missouri side, both of
which were found later. The robbers
overpowered the express men and made
them get off the train, but did not at
tempt to molest the large load of pas
sengers. Fireman Fryisch was badly
beaten by the robbers when they stopped
the train. The express messenger was
driven from his car when it was cut off.

Lord Roberts Reports the Capture of

LONDON, July 10. Lord Roberts has
sent the following dispatch to the war
office:
Pretoria, July 10.-Clements and
Paget's forces entered BethlehenS July
7. The former, on nearing the town,
sent in flag of truce demanding its
surrender, which was refused by De-
wet, when Paget, making wide turn
ing movement, succeeded in getting
hold of the enemy's most important
position covering the town. This was
carried before dark by the Munster
fusiliers and Yorkshire light infantry..
This morning the attack was continued
and by noon the town was in our pos.
session and the enemy in full retreat:

Edict of the Empress Dowager Regarding

NEW YORK, July 12.--A dispatch to
The Herald from Shanghai says: An
edict of the empress dowager, promul-
gated on June 80, has just been pub
ished in Shanghai. Her majesty ex-
presses sorrow for the death Of Baron
Won Ketteler, the German minister,
who, she says, went to the tsung Ii
yamen on the day Of his death against
her wishes.
Her majesty expresses regret that the
capture Of the Taku forts should have
complicated matters, but orders that
the Boxers be suppressed and the for
eign legations in Pekin protected. The
whole tone Of the edict is to hold the
foreigners blameable for the gravity of

Attempt Made to Wreck the Washington
Express Near Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, July 12.-According
to officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad deliberate attempt to wreck
the Washington express, bearing $3,-
100000 in gold to the sub-treasury in
New York, came near being successful
at Folsom, short distance outside Of
this city. The train consisted of two
sleepers, two day coaches and three
baggage cars and left Washington at
11:90 p. m. It was due here at $40 a..
m. While going at a good rate Of speed
it ran into an open switch at Folsom.
The engine was overturned and the
three baggage cars were derailed, but
no one was injured.
An examination by the railroad men
disclosed the fact that the switch hal
been tampered with, for the apparent
purpose of wrecking train. Whether
it was done with the intention of wreck.
ing the express bearing the currency
could only be conjectured.

Attack on Taku.
Cablegram From Admiral Remey
Says That Seymour's Force
Is Hard Pressed.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Wu Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister to this
country, came to the state department
in person during the morning and de.
hvered to Secretary Hay a copy OF
cablegram received by him purporting
to be from the Chinese imperial gov
ernment believed to have originated at
tho Chinese war department, disclaim-
ing responsibility on the part of the i'm
perial government for the Boxer
troubles and asserting that the engage
ment at Tien Tsin was the direst result
of the bombardment Of Taku forts by
the foreigners. In regard to the Taku
affair the dispatch says:
ITO our surprise, on the goth OF the
fifth moon June 16) foreign officers at
Taku called upon Lo Jung Kwang, the
general commanding, and demanded
his surrender of the forts, notifying
him that failing to receive compliance
they would at l o'clock the next day
take steps to seize the forts by force.
Lo Jung Kwang being bound by the
duties of his office to hold the forts,
how could he yield to the demand? On
the day named they actually first fired
upon the forts, which responded and
kept up fight all day and then sur
rendered. Thus the conflict of forces
began, but certainly the initiative did
not come from our side."

PRETORIA, July 12.-The British sue
cess at Bethlehem has considerably i'm
proved the prospects for peace, it is
said. The whole of the government OF
President Steyn Of the Orange Free
State has surrendered except President
Steyn himself Those officials, who
are prisoners, have been allowed to
communicate with President Steyn for
the purpose of attempting to prove to
him the uselessness of q continuance Of
the struggle which can only produce
bloodshed without any counterbalanc-
ing advantages. The collapse of the
forces of General Dewet is expected
daily. The Beers here say that the
men have taken a solemn oath never to
personally surrender, but they are be-
ginning to see the unfairness Of sacri-
fcing life to personal wishes. It is ex-
pected that when General Botha learns
Of the defeat Of his colleagues he will
gladly enter into conferences looking to
the establishment Of peace. The need
of more civil administrators is urgent
and the necessity for their appointment
is becoming daily more apparent In.

one, the James river, has an uncertain
and discouraging note in the general
makeup Of the report. If the informa-
ton shows conditions the indications
are that more than half a crop will be
harvested in the sections Of the North
west mostly injured by the drouth, and
almost full crop of most staples in
