KILLED AT HIS POST.
Express Car Robbed and the Mes
senger Killed.

Express Car Robbed and the Mes
senger Killed.
Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 12.-When the
Panhandle train from the west pulled
into the union depot shortly after IL
o'clock last night Charles A. Lane, the
express messenger, was found dead
in the car, shot through the heart. A
safe had been opened and all the VAL
uables taken. The murder and rob-
berry is supposed to have taken pace
between Milford Center and Columbus,
as no harm had befallen the express
messenger when the train stopped
there. The messenger was alone. No
one heard the shot. 1t is supposed the
robber jumped off the train as 1t
slowed up coming into the union depot.
The utmost mystery surrounds the af-
fair. Lane was about twenty-eight
years old. The officials of the Adams
Express company give no statement
as to the probable amount Of money
secured by the robbers, but 1t is re-
ported to be $4,000. Indications are
that there was a desperate and bloody
fight, the messenger bravely fighting
for the safety of the property entrust-
ed to his care and defending his life.

yang-tsun According to the Daily
Mails correspondent the attack was
,ed bv the Americans and British. The
chinese position consisted OF seven
lines of Entertainments. Yhe enemy
fell back from one to another, until
driven to the last line, they fled to-
ward Peking,

The Chinese say they retreated be-
cause the British poured poison" into
their troops. This refers to the lyddite
shells, which the Chinese then ex-
perienced for the first time. The cor
respondent then adds that the British
casualties were so and the American

noted is four times greater than Gen.

Identical.
Washington, Aug. 12.-At the OPEN
ing of bids yesterday at the navy de-

hem and Carnegie companies SUBJ
mitted identical bids, each for about
1920 tons of the $4,000 tons adver-
tised for at s490 for the thick armor
and S411.20 for the thin. The only
other bid was from the Midvale Steel

Goodland, Kan, Aug. 1.-THE two
men who held up Unicn Pacific train
near Hugo, Colo, last Sunday morn
ing, killing w. j. Fay, passenger, and
plundering the passengers, were killed
yesterday by a sheriff's posse at the
Bartholomew ranch, three miles east
of this place. The robbers We're To-
Gated in the house on the ranch yes
terday morning and the posse lined
up and cut off escape. After fusll-
lade between the robbers and the
posse in which j. Briggs and George
Cullins, deputies, We're shot, one of the
robbers jumped from a window and
sought to escape, but was shot to
death. The posse then lay siege to the
house in which the remaining robber
stood guard with a Winchester, and
finally succeeded in setting fire to the
building, which was destroyed, with
it's occupant.
No Doubt of Their Identity.
There is no doubt about the men be-
ing the train robbers. On the body Of
the one shot in the morning was
found watch, two black calico face
masks, a lady's watch chain and
charm and an opened envelope, ad-
dressed to some illegible name at
Hugo, Colo. He was tall, with black
mustache and commonly dressed. The
second body was brought to town
last night. The man in the house
had large roll of bills, but these,
with the robbers two valises, were
burned. Both were about thirty years
of age and of the desperate type,
having threatened to shoot several
farmers who refused to keep them.
The house on the ranch, with it's con-
tents, was valued at $4,000, and will
be paid for by the county. The two
citizens shot in the fight are doing
well and will recover.

MUST PRESS FORWARD.
Only Thing That Can He Done Under
Present Circums tances.

Present Circumsfan ces.
Washington, Aug. II. In the light
of the latest dispatch from Minister
Conger, received by the state depart
ment through Minister WI yesterday,
the attitude of the administration Is
that there is but one thing to be done
In the present circumstances, namely,
to press on to the relief of the be-
sieged garrison at Picking. This was
made known after extended communal
cations between Washington and the
president at Canton. The Conger dis
patch was accepted as showing con-
elusive justification for the imperative
demand of the United States sent to
the Chinese government on Wednes-
day night insisting that
The Imperial Troops
cooperate with the international
forces in the rescue OF the ministers,
and until this condition, as well as the
seccation of the bombardment, is fully
conceded by China, there is no other
course open but to press steadily on
ward in the mission of relief. The
text of Mr.. Conger's message as given
out by the state department is as fol-
lows:
"Secdetory of State, Washington:
me tsung II yamun states to the
diplomatic body that the various for
elgn governments have repeatedly
asked through the respective Chinese
ministers that we Immediately depart
from Peking
Under Suitable Escort.
Inc yamun asks us to fix a date for
our departure and to make the neces-
sary arrangements to do so. Our re-
ply is that we will seek instruction
from our governments. and that In the
absence of such instructions we can
not quit our posts.
1 must inform you that in order to
insure our safe departure. foreign
troops only can safely escort US. and
lhey must be In sufficient force to
safely guard 800 foreigners. including
aoo women and children, as well as
s,ooo native Christians. who cannot be

sibility that the plans originally made
by the friends Of Charles II. Hoyt.
and by the attorneys of Frank Mckee,
of the firm of Hoyt & Mckee, for the
care of the playwright, may not be
carried out. 1t is said in theatrical
circles, by persons who say they know,
that IL there is not friction at pres mt
there is likely to be hitch between

MIR. Hnnna's Trust Quibble.

From the Chicago Chronicle
Il would like Mr. Bryan or any other
Democrat to tell me what a trust Is. I
don't believe there is a trust in the United
States" said Mr.. Hanna 10 a Chicago au-
dience.
Mr.. Hanna worked that bubble with
some success in his own State of Ohio two
years ago. He is not likely to work il
with much success in Chicago. The peo-
pie of Chicago are able 10 recognize a
very obvious bubble.
They are not entirely ignorant of the
fact that the monopoly combines took the
form of trusts when they first became Of
fensively conspicuous and retained that
form and name until the courts forced
them to look for a safer shelter. They
know that when they took the safer form
of the corporation they were essentially
the same thing, and so the old and con-
ventional name Of trust" stuck to them.
The courts universally condemned the
thing in the form Of trust. They recoc-
nized it as the deadly enemy to free COM
petition, and. therefore, as the deadly
enemy TO the interests and rights of the
people. That is why it had to crawl out of
its old skin and crawl into a safer one
called corporation"
The thing itself is the same. II is uni
versally condemned by the courts and by
the common sense of justice. The people
choose, for convenience sake, to call il by
its old name in its new skin They know
very well what they are about and they
are not fooled for minute by Mr.. Han
mas bubble that there is no such thing as
a trust. They know that the thing itself
is more powerful and dangerous than IT
was when It was in the form of a trust,
and they know that the monopoly COM
bines are far more numerous and that
their nominal capital is at least &. O0O.-
600 greater than it was when Mr.. McKin-
ley was inducted into Office.

The Democratic OufIank.

From the Nashville American.
The Democratic outlook Is bsiphtar,,g
but still the party is not out of the woods
While Mr.. Bryan is going into the ma
kotas for a series of speeches. and while
the South is to be visited at no distans
day by several able campaigners. the fac.
Is becoming clear that the real hattie
ground IS to be in the Middle West AMI in
New York, Maryland, West Virginia
Delaware, and New Jersey.
The truce between the warrin0 fact,,,s
IN the Empire State, while it might be
stronger looks as If it will hold through
this campaign. This will greatly strengf h.
en- Bryan in the State. and while we are
not enthusiastic over Democratic chances
in New York. there is hope. The work
which the Democrats are going To do
among the working classes and small
tradesmen in Greater New York and in
the larger cities up the State is certain 10
have good effect Then, too, the Demo
Gratis are likely 10 have ample funds with
which 10 carry on the campaign in New
York State this year, some, hing they were
sadly in need of in 1896.
The outlook is better In New Jersey than
ii was some weeks ago, but It will resu,re

Votes for Mckinley.

From the Boston Pos..
The ladies' Of Secretary Longs family
viii enjoy the distinction. lf the story Is
true, Of being the first Massachusetts
women TO vote for President OF tfs
United States. This privilege Is gained
by the fact OF their residence in Colorado
during the past year emitting them 10
registration as citizens of that State and
to vote for all elective officers. Secretary
Long doubtless had no such purpose 10
mind when he chose Colorado Springs as
health resort for his family. but the
practical result is that he is able 10 bring
to the support OF his chief more num-
erous array Of voters than any OF his as
sociates in the Cabinet.
1t is rather too bad that daughters o.
Massachusetts should be Obliged 10 20 -
far outside TO get the privileges which
they surely ought 20 enjoy here II any
where; but they may have a certain con-
ISOLATION in contemplating the fact that
a vote In Colorado counts for a good deal
more than a vote in Massachusetts,. They
have one Presidential electoF 20 eyery

IN Massachusetts, have only one TO about
