IN A STEEL LINED CAR.
Train Robber Ketchem Is Taken to
Clayton, N. M, to Hang.


Trinidad, Col. April 2.-"Black Jack"
Ketchum, train robber, will be hanged
at Clayton, N. NJ, on Friday die Will
pay the extreme penalty for the robbery
of an express train on the Colorado and
Southern Railway at Folsom, N. NJ, Aug.
16 1899
ketchum single handed, held up the
express train and was wounded in the
fight put up by the train crew. Two of
the latter-the conductor and the postal
clerk-also were wounded. Ketchum was
shot through the right arm and after es-
Gaping, had it amputated. After a long
chase he was run down and taken to
Folsom for trial He was given the ex-
treme penalty, death.
Since last September Ketchum has
been in the Union county Jail. Rumors
began coming in that outlaw bands of the
southwest had taken steps for the rescue
of their comrade. Measures were at once
taken to prevent such an outcome. 1t
was decided to remove Ketchum to Clay
ton for execution. The sheriff of Union
county, with q strong force of deputies,
yesterday manacled the prisoner with
heavy steel belt around the waist. To
this belt his left arm was chained. while
his lower limbs were bound with steel
bands. To further insure the enforce
ment of the courts mandate Ketchum
was confined in steel lined mail car with
grated windows. Under these precautions
the trip was begun TO, Clayton. The party
passed through this city to-day and the
sheriff expressed full confidence in his
ability to deliver his prisoner at Clayton
before Friday and ward off attempt that
may be made to wrench him from the
grasp of the law.

JOE CHAMBERLAIN'S SCHEMES
is Trying TO Force STR Michael
Hicks-Beach Out of Cabinet.

&
Hicks-Beach Out of Cabinet.
London April 25.-The date of Lord SAL
isbury's return to London from Riviera
is still problematical and the rumors of
cabinet trouble over the budget are as
suming great consistency in the lobbies
OF Parliament. According to the Daily
Mail, the framing of the budget revealed
considerable dissension. Mr.. Chamber
lain. the colonial secretary, wanted the
whole cost of the war raised on the credit
OF the South African colonies and had
schemes of his own for providing the in
terest on the loan and an increase of nor
NAL expenditure.
To these schemes, however with the
exception of the coal duty Sir Michael
HICKS Beach turned a deaf ear; and on
being pressed, he offered to resign. Mr.
Chamberlain. according to the Daily Mail.
favored the resignation, but Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Baifour strongly opposed e.
Now 1t is said that although at first Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach did not advocate a
coal tax, he now declines to drop 1t. think
ing his reputation would suffer now that
he Is committed to IL. He has, however.
agreed to give careful consideration to the
alternative proposal to substitute an ad
yalorem duty on the basis of 8 pence or
UGnC6
on the best Welsh coal.
While this would mollify the northern
colliery owners 1t would intensity the op-
position from Wales, and the belief pre-
