EDWARD VII. AS CABINET MAKER
King of England Takes Hand in Affairs
Of Nation.

London, Sept. 25.-The political
crisis has taken on a phase which
lends to the present situation his
torical and constitutional importance
of almost unprecedented interest. The
king has interfered, not unconstitution-
ally or beyond the powers vested in
the crown. but, in the exercise Of his
prerogatives. to an extent never dream
ed of in the Victorian era
Premier Balfour's continued pres
ence, at Balmoral has given rise to
much surmise and comment, but the
Associated Press is able to state def
nitely that it is the kings determine
ton not to assent to the formation Of
a new cabinet until he is satisfied that
it's personnel is such as to insure the
successful carrying out Of national at
fairs pending the resumption Of par
lament. For years previous cabinets
were appointed or ministerial Vacan-
cies filled by the mere presentation
to the sovereign Of the names Of the
new ministers. King Edward has done
away with this tradition. He has
spent the last few days in constant
conference with Mr.. Balfour as to the
advisability. from the point Of view of
the welfare Of the nation, Of the lat
ter's suggested appointments. Min.
listers now holding Office and those
nominated for Office have been sum
moned to Balmoral to join in these
conferences, and all have been sub
jected to a degree Of interrogation
such as has surprised even those who
knew King Edward intimately as the
prince Of Wales.

realized that they were Witnessing the

FOUR MEN HELD UP PASSENGER
TRAIN NEAR ST. JOSEPH. MO.
Safe In Express Car Dynamlted and
Car Wreeked-Not a Single Shot
Was Flred-Amount Of Booty Not
known-Passsnssrs In a Panic
Posse In Pursuit.

Kansas City. Sept. PA special
from st. Joseph. Mo-, says:
Four masked men at 10 o'clock at
night held up the westbound Burling-
ton & Missouri River train No. Al 1--WE
miles north Of this city. The safe In
the express car was dynamited and the
car wrecked.
Oflcials OF the road say that the safe
contained but little money. Other re-
ports say that 1t contained from $4,000
to $4,000 in money. Everything In
the safe was taken and the men
escaped in the darkness with horses.
A posse was organized and is in pur'
suit OF the bandits.
Not a single shot was fired. The
train was stopped by means Of a red
light. The engine and express car
were uncoupled from the balance OF
the train and backed half mile far
Their on. where II was dynamited. The
train was In charge OF Conductor Ha--
vey. who hurried to the city and gave
the alarm. The officers lost no time
in organizing and making a start. II
was necessary for the entire train To
be brought back to the city and new
train made up. which left at o'clock.
According to meager reports re-
ceived from the scene of the holdup
at midnight, the instant the train was
stopped two OF the robbers climbed
into the engine and, with drawn re-
volvers. compelled the engineer and
fireman to obey orders. One OF the
men uncoupled the engine and express
car from the balance OF the train. The
party then climbed into the cab and
the engine and car were run up the
track. The explosion followed. As
soon as the safe was dynamited the
men rushed to the wrecked car. II
Is asserted that they did not get a
cent as a result.
The train was loaded with passen,
gers for the west and the holdup ere
ated a panic. The train was In charge
or Conductor Harvey OF 81. Joseph
AS soon as he saw the robbers. he ran
back down the track and secured a
handcar. on which he came to 81
Joseph and notified the officers. Po-
licemen and deputy sherttfs to the
number OF so were taken at once To
the scene armed with riot guns, but
the robbers were gone. The hills are
being searched. One OF the robbers
Is reported to have been hurt, the ex
tent Of his injuries being unknown.
The train was held up near a grad
ing camp and was witnessed by q
farmer who went to hts house and
telephoned to Amazonla, the nearest
station. Citizens there armed them
selves and started to the scene OF the
robbery. but the bandits we're Eons
when they arrived.
According to the report made by the
railroad officials and the express mes
senger. no money was in the safe and
the robbers got nothing.

PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
Colombian Government Passes II Up
Nothing Doing at Night.

Nothing Doing at Night.
Washington, Sept. 2S.-When the
state department closed at 4 o'clock
Tuesday 1t was agreed that the Pana,
ma canal treaty was dead. although
eight hours yet remained during which
the Colombian government might have
taken Affirmative action on 1t. Nothing
was received concerning the canal
treaty from Minister BeaupFe at Bo-
gotta, nor by Mr.. Herran. the Colon
bian charge d'affaires. A report is cur
rent here that the Colombian congress
in secret session has clothed Presi-
dent MarroQuin with full power to ne
gotiate q treaty. II this report should
turn out to be true, President Mar
roquin, who is counted a friend Of the
treaty, could proceed untrammeled by
the fear OF future reckoning with his
congress. In any event President
Roosevelt must now take the next
step. He can elect to proceed under
the Spooner act and take up the
Nicaraguan route or he can allow the
matter to drift for the present in the
hope that a way may yet be found
to straighten out the present difficulty
in the path OF the Panama route.
Contrary to his custom during the
summer, the acting secretary of state
remained in the cIty today in order to
be on hand to act promptly on any in
formation which might come from Mr.
Beaupre regarding canal matters at
Bogota. Up to $50 O'Clock, however
nothing had been received. DR.. Her.
ran. the Colombian charge. also waited
anxiously for news from his govern
ment. but was disappointed. Colon
bia, it is known, is anxious to keep
alive the negotiations.
One interesting feature with the leg
islative situation in Colombia Is the
fact that the terms OF one third Of the
members in the senate. numbering
nine, will expire on the Goth
OF next July, when the life Of the pres.
ent congress will end. These nine
senators. it is said. are aerse to the
canal treaty. The hope OF the adyo
Gates Of the treaty viii be to elect
senators in their places who are favor
able to the convention.
