suits. If the speaker monlds

public sentiment as he wills, it does

as Dennis Kearney's-he is still tho
orator. On the other hsnd II tbe'
speaker can only titillate the ear, lis
oratory is Of SO low type that it al

higher sense Mckinley was an orator

TRAIN ROBBED
IN LINCOLN
Third Time the Burlington
Has Suffered Within
a Year.
NO TRACE HAS Been FOUND
Many Persons Were Asleep in
the Depot aud Knew Moth
ing of What Was
Going On,

Lincoln, Neb., April 24.-Passengers
on Burlington train No. Al were held up
and robbed of $1,000 early this morning
as the train was leaving the Burlington
union station in Lincoln. The train
has been robbed three times within 100
miles of Lincoln. The robbery last fall
netted $4,000 to the men who did the
work, and no trace of them has ever
been found. The work this morning
was accomplished mostly while the
passengers from the branch and feeder
lines of the Burlington were in the de-
pot awaiting the arrival of the trans
trains. Many of the per-
sons in the depot were asleep and did
not know they had been robbed until
the noise arose as the train was pull
ing into the station. The conductor and
porter of the emigrant sleeper, with the
were ferded into one end
of the car and the search instituted by
one man while the other held the
crowd back with guns. They left the
train between Lincoln and Milford.

SALMON VERSUS GONZALES.
Important Case, Involving Specific
Performance of Contract and
Deciding Community Right
Statute Of 1884, by Judge
McFie.

In the case of N. Salmon, plaintiff
versus Nazario Gonzales, defendant, an
action to compel specific performance
of contract to convey certain real
estate in the City of Santa Fe and
known as the Nazario Gonzales property
on San Francisco street, Judge McFie
on yesterday rendered an opinion in ia.
vor OF the plaintiff, holding that the
defendant had a perfect right to convey
the property and to carry outthe agree
! ment and ordering performance Of the
contract. The defense made the con-
tention the defendant was coerced into
the signing of the agreement by undue
and improper influence; also that
defendant could not convey legally one
half of the title, as it was yes ed in the
heirs OF his deceased wife, he, defendant,
having conveyed to her, during her life
time, one-half interest In the property
and although she had conveyed the en-
tire property back to him in 1897, never
thu less, defendant claimed that under
tho statute governing such cases, she
had no right or power to divest her heirs
of any right or title belonging to her in
the property. The case is important,
not only on account OF the amount in
volved, which is $4,000, but also be-
cause it is the first time in the juris
prudence of the territory that the COM
munity right statute of 1884 has been
directly decided. Judge McFie wrote
an elaborate and well considered OPT
MON in the case, which was filed by him
today. The attorneys for the plaintiff
were A. B. Renchan, +. l.. Bartlett
and G. w. Knaebel; for the defendant
Catron and Gortner.
DECISION IN MECHANICS LIEN
CASE.
Judge McFie today handed down a
written opinion in the case OF Abendroth
Root Manufacturing Company OF New
York City against The Copper Hill Min.
ing Company and others, doing business
in Taos county, in which he sustains
tho mechanics lien of the plaintiff, and
authorizes judgment against the defend
arts which witch costs will aggregate
approximately 5000. The opinion is a
very important one and settles some
nice disputed questions arising under
the statute as to what sort o. interest
the defendant must have in the prop
crty to be subjected to the lien to sup
port it. A. b. Renchan represented the
plaintiff.

Demands on China by Russia for the Control
of Manchuria,

Washington, d. c., April 2a.-Minis-
ter Conger, from Pekin, has cabled to
Secretary Hay synopsis of the de-
mands made upon China by Russia re-
specting the control of Manchuria. Mr..
Hay will take no action in the matter
until he has communicated the facts to
the President and has learned the lat
ter's wishes. The politicnl impression
here is that the Russian action is dis
States, but officials declare there is no
danger of war with Russia over this in
cident. As the result of Secretary
Hays projected conference with the
President it is probable that remon-
STRANGE will be made, but it is antici-
patcd Russia will, for the time being at
least, allay foreign opposition, or at
least that of the United States, by car

An official of the government, we'll in
formed regarding Chinese affairs, says
the step taken by Russia is one for
which she has been preparing for q
ndmber OF years. Extraordinary as it
may seem, he says, there appears to be
no way of preventing the consummation
OF Russia's plan. Japan is in no posi-
tion to dispute the action, and, even
with the assistance of England, it is
doubtful, in his opinion. whether the
of Russia could be changed.

"SCENiC ROUTE" ROAD.
Commissioners Of Santa Fe County
Will Begin Work at Once.

Under the provisions OF the law estab-
fishing the "Scenic Route" road, re-
qairing the work should be commenced
within sixty days, on or after the APP
proyal of the bill or its becoming law
the county commissioners Of this county
have decided at once to begin the survey
of the road. County Commissioner A /.
Seligman has been instructed by the
board to procure the services of a sur
veyor and to commence the work upon
it at once, as the limit of time wherein
to commence such work is the 14th of
May. This will be but preliminary
survey and under the law will be SUBJ
mitted for approval to Superintendent
II. o. Bursum, of the territorial peni-
tentiary. If he objects to it or the first
survey is found impract' cable, or bet
ter route can be selected, there will be
no trouble in making a change, The
missioners OF Santa Fe county are
anxious to lose none of the benefits con-
tained In the act and therefore this ac-
tion on their part. The county com mis-
sioners of San Miguel county should
take similar action and put a surveyor
in the field at once. If this is done, the
actual work contemplated by the statute
will have commenced. OF course, it
would be best If the two counties would
have but one surveying corps in the
field, but as it seems that this can not
be done at present, the action Of the
Santa Fe county commissioners, is time
ly and proper. The two surveying corps
can be easily consolidated when deemed
practical. but the preliminary lines OF
the survey in each county might be run
within the county limits and should
meet at the point where the proposed
road is to cross the county line.
