EXPRESS TRAIN ROBBERY.
Bold HOld-Jp on the Burlington Near
Savanna, 1l.-Booty Secured
Ore Bandit Dead

Savanna, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-The Chicago
Minneapolis limited express train on
the Chicago, Burlington &; Quincy rail
road was held up, the express car dy-
namited and $4,000 in the custody of
the Adams Express company made
away with at 1880 o'clock Tuesday
night. The scene of the robbery was
Marcus, small flag station eight miles
from here. The engine and express car
were detached from the train and run
down the road short distance, where
the robbers completed their work. It
is known that at least two men par
ticipated in the robbery. Both were
heavily masked and armed.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE bandits that
held up the Burlington limited train
near Savanna, ILL.,. Tuesday night have
left but one clew behind them This
clew is the bullet-riddled body of
man who participated in the robbery.
The belief is that. having been wound
ed by shot from Express Messenger
Byl's revolver, the band. fearing that
the victim would fall into the hands of
the train men and thus prove wit
ness against them, decided that as
dead men tell no tales, it would be
policy to kill him. This they did. cool
ly adding murder to the heinous crime
they had already perpetrated.
Strenuous search and keen inyesti-
cation by the detectives all day
Wednesday proved unavailing. with
the exception of the capture of two
suspects who may be able to throw
some light on the affair. The only real
clew that the officers have is the re-
mains of the dead bandit.

THE FRIAR QUESTION.
President Roosevelt Discusses the
Problem with Archbishop Ryan,
of Philadelphia,

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 5.-Arch-
bishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, was
among the presidents visitors on
Monday. Archbishop Ryan talked
briefly with the president about the
work being done among the Indians
by the commission to which he was
appointed few months ago as sue
cessor to Bishop Whipple. They dis
cussed also the Philippine friars'
question, the president speaking free
ly and frankly of his attitude in the
matter. Mr.. Roosevelt is satisfied
thoroughly that the Philippine friars
have not the confidence of the ma
tives. 1t is his wish, therefore, to
have withdrawn from the archipelago
the friars now there, to whom the
people will pay no heed and to re-
place them with good men-as many
from America as possible-to whom
the natives will listen and in whom
they will have confidence.

TROOPS READY FOR ACTION.
Commander of Troops Mt Shenandoah
Keeps Close Watch on Strikers
to Prevent Trouble.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. O. The
peace of this troop-protected town
remains unbroken. The unsettled
feeling which has been apparent for
the last few days, however, continues.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 5.-While the
situation in this region is calm, the
troops encamped here showed more
activity Monday than they have on any
day since they were ordered to Shenan-
doah. There was nothing on the sur
face to indicate anything, yet there
was a feeling of uneasiness which
caused the commanding officers to in
crease their vigilance and hold the
soldiers in state of preparedness.
The greater part of this vigilance was
due to the fact that the funeral of
Joseph Beddall, who died as a result
OF injuries received in Wednesday
nights riot, took place Monday. Bed
dali was brother of Deputy Sheriff
Thomas Beddall, who was one of the
principal figures in the fight and a
nephew of Sheriff S. r. Beddau. These
men attended the funeral, and in con-
sequence there were many rumors
af1oat that they would be attacked.
Rumors of resumption of work in
this territory are still in circulation,
but there is nothing to indicate that
these reports have any foundation
whatever.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 4.-The en-
tire Eighth regiment was called to
arms during Saturday night as a re-

Raise Price of Bread.

Mexico City, Aug. 4.-There is

the formation Of pool among the

of bread. This trade is in the hands
of half a dozen rich Spaniards from
old Spain who have signed an agree
ment to charge prices mutually
agreed on and not in any way to en-
ter into competition, as they have
>done hitherto The agreement is for
two years. The daily papers point
out that this agreement is. wholly
unjustifed, as the price of wheat
has not altered i'll two years, while
the taxes are the same. The cost Of
living for poor people and the lower
middle. class has been increasing
steadily and meat has been rising
two years past. ..=
