BRITANS DEPEND ON
 CUNARD STEAMERS
ADMIRALTY THINKS MUCH GOOD SERVICE MAY COME FROM THESE OCEAN LINERS BY THE REGENT AGREEMENT.

Liverpool, October 24-Mr. Arnold Forster, financial secretary to the admir- atty, was the guest of honor tonight at the conservative clubs dinner.
 In an address In which he outlined the admiraltyss pressra1aHaes Mr. Arnold Forster said he regarded the agreement between the government and the Cunard Steamship company as payment of value received for protection in time of war and that the proposed Cunard steamers were intended to possess special qualities not obtainable on purely commercial basis of agreement Committees upon which the government is represented are now sitting with the object of remedying the existing chaos in the equipment of ves- sells and of developing standardization. If the standardization problem is solved more will have been accomplished for British trade than could be done in twen- ty years of legislation.
 Continuing, Mr. Arnold-Forster said the admiralty is at present extending the principle of employing private enter prise in ship building. The designs for four new Scouts" having been furnished the contractors themselves. Every big gun of any make on the new vessel is to be interchangeable in all its parts. Fifty seven ships which are not considered ef- fective are to be stricken from the navy list and the armaments of some existing ships are to be doubled. The construc- tion of submarine vessels is to be taken up with energy. The most powerful squadron of cruisers which has ever sailed the seas Is about to be commis- stoned, said MT. Arnold-Forster, ana even in absence of the channel fleet, Great Britain would have powerful pro- tection.
 The financial secretary urged the need of more business-like arrangements fo- the joint utilization of thS army and the navy.

SOLDIERS GOING HOME.
Governor s,one Orders Withdrawal of
 Troops in Coal Regions.

Harrisburg, Pa- October A.-GeneraI orders for the withdrawal of the troops in the anthracite coal regions were issued by Governor Stone to Major General Mill Ter today. The orders do not state the time and manner of withdrawing the troops but it is expected that the state authorities will bring all of them home with the possible exception of two or three regiments before election day. This will avoid the necessity of appointing a commission to each regiment to take the votes of soldiers in the field and the preparation of special forms of ballots
 The prospects are that the troops sent into the region last July will be ordered home before those which were ordered on duty later. Major General MiIler's headquarters are at Pottsville and the movements of the troops will be direct ed from there. Governor Stones orders to General Miller contains the following:
 ''The purpose for which the division Ma tional Guard of Pennsylvania was placed on duty in the several counties of the state embraced within what is known as the anthracite coal regions having been accomplished, and peace and order having been restored in the several com munities, and 1t being evident that the local civil authorities will be enabled to preserve the peace and give the necessary and proper protection to life and prop erty, the major general commanding di- vision National Guard of Pennsylvania will relieve the troops now on duty and return the several organizations to their home rendezvous as soon as possible"

Shoots Engineer Who Falls Dead
 at His Post
MONEY TAKEN FROM SAFES
Were Blown Open and the Explosion Wreoks Express and Mail Cars. People In Town Terrorized
 and Bandits Work Easy.

Missoula, Mont, October 24.-East bound passenger train No. ? on the Northern Pacific was held up last night near Drummond, Mont, at place forty five miles from this city and engineer Dan o'Neill was killed. O'Nenl had been In the service of the road longer than any other engineer.
 The train. which consisted of mail, baggage and express cars with nine coaches. left Misseula at 1920 p. m. It arrived after midnight at a place two miles west of Drummond. Here the train was signalled to stop and the en- gineer, accordingly slowed up. While do- ing SO, he saw q man creeping toward him over the tender. The man, who was armed. called to O'Neill to stop the train instantly.
 The engineer took in the situation at once and pulled open the throttle and tried to start the train at full speed. The robber divined his purpose and fired at him. The shot took instant effect and the engineer fell dead at his post.
 Express Car Wrecked.
 The robber then proceeded to rife the express and mail cars. He plundered the regular mail and blew open the safe in the car which was wrecked by the ex- plosion.
 The amount of plumber which he se- cured Is not known, nur 1t is supposed to be large. The excitement on the train was intense. The sudden stoppage of the train, followed soon by the ex- plosion, spread alaem among the train rT1l,o ,7, of the night and the loneliness of the place added to the terror.
 Word of the attack was sent to Drum mond, whence 1t was telegraphed to Deer Lodge, fifty miles away. Bloodhounds were sent out at once and steps were taken to keep vigiiant watch for the rob i bers.
 It was assumed that at least eight men were engaged in the holdup. but the lat | est advices are that one man alone per- petrated the murder and robbery. Sheriff Prescott with strong force of men started at once for the scene of the robbery on special train. The coroner went with him. Dan O'Neill, the mur- dered engineer, lived in this city and had wife and six children.
 Robber Made Boasts.
 The robber boasted that he took part in the holdup of the Southern Pacific train near Portland, Ore. about year ago. He made this boast 10 the train hands to terrorize the men while he em- ployed them to run the train for four miles-that is, to point two miles east of Drummond. He declared he would be hard to catch, as he had a horse in the timber.
 Warden Conley of the Deer Lodge peni- tentiary is engaged in the pursuit with bloodhounds.
 The Northern Pacific has offered a re- ward of $5000 for delivery, dead or alive, of the robber and murderer.
 The mask worn by the bandit was found on a mountain trail two miles from the scene of the holdup, and after giving the hounds the scent of the mask the animals immediately took up the trail which was then about eight hours old
