The AlIusion Classical

The agricultural appropriation bill
was before the House. Representa-
tive Rixey of Virginia was advocating
an increase from 5000 to s25 900 for
the experimental farm owned by the
government at Arlington. He said
the small amount allowed was not
enough to produce substantial results.
Representative Wadsworth, il
charge Of the bill, pointed out that
$4,000 was appropriated for the farm
annually, and that year after year this
mounted up, and in time would have
become formidable. Rome was not
built in day. he added in conclu-
sion.

vantage was gained by either side in
the stockyards strike today, and there
is on hopes tonight of any immediate
settlement of the difficulty. Realizing
thta they have one of the hardest prop
ositions to contend with in the history
of the packing industry, the packers
are leaving nothing undone to gain the
upper hand in the struggle with their
80, 900 union employees who are on a
strike.
All day long workmen from outside
points were rushed to Chicago and
taken to the stockyards tonight to fill
the places of the strikers. Tonight it
was announced by the packers that T.

plants at the stockyards.

heavy firing was going on both land
and sea. They report that the Japanese

of the Matin says that the Japanese en-
tered Newchwang at O'Clock in the
morning, and hauled down the Russian
commercial flag, which had been sub
stituted for the military standard on
the residence of the governor. The Jap
anese standard was hoisted, the Chinese
flag flying from the neighboring build
ings and the custom houses. The con-
sular authorities had taken precaution
to insure the safety Of the European
residents who were armed.
The Russians who refused to follow
the retreat have been cut off. The jap
auese cavalry men, the correspondent
says, were supplied with the most mod
ern accoutrements and each man was
furnished with compass and field

not protected from war risk and only a

Train RObber
Makes Confession

Spokane, July 28.-George F. Ham
mond. the Montana cowboy who was
arrested here July IS on charge of
participating in the Northern Pacific
train robbery at Bearmouth, Mont, on
the night of June l6, has made a full
and complete confession of the crime,
and has been taken to Helena by three
officers to await trial. Before leaving
he said that it was his intention to
plead guilty to the charge and accept
sentence. He waived extradition pro-
ceedings and went to Montana with
the officers willingly.
Hammond 8 confession was made in
the county Jail in the presence of Sher.
iff Doust, Joel Hindman, Northern
Pacific detective, and B. Palmer, sup
erintendent of the division on which
the holdup occurred. In it he details
the events leading up to the crime, the
crime itself, and the escape of himself
and his partner across the mountains
from Montana into this state, relates
with minute particulars the actions of
the members of the train crew at the
time of the robbery, and describes sew
eral quarrels which occurred between
himself and his partner, resulting at
last in their making division of the
booty and separating to go their re-
spective ways alone.
Since he began making his confess
sion Hammond has taken Sheriff Doust
out of the city on two different occas-
ions to places where he had cached por
lions of the booty secured in the hold
up; and these were dug up and turned
over to the officers. One of these trips
was made last Sunday, when he led
the officers to Occur d Alene, Idaho,
and, about mile from that place, dis
closed to them place where he had
hidden under stone covered with
earth 357 diamonds, valued at about
$500. The other trip was to the edge
of the timber short distance east of
Hillyard, where he pointed out place
where he had hidden $l69.4O, mostly
in silver coin.
These, with $165 which, he had in
his possession at the time of his arrest
are all that the officers have recovered
of the booty.
In the holdup the robbers secured
some $1,000 IN money partly in gold
coin and partly in 800 bills and 800
diamonds valued at $4,000. When the
two robbers separated they divided this
booty between them, having quarrel
as to the division which almost led to
an open rupture. The second partici-
pant in the holdup has not yet been ap-
pretended and there is little in Ham
monds's confession concerning him.
In his narrative he refers to HIM as
my partner" and gives the officers no
information regarding his whereabouts.
Hammond made his confession at
the office of Sheriff Doust in the pres
ence of J. S. .Hindman, Superintendent
Palmer and MIR. Doust. He was ques-
toned by Mr.. Hindman.
