to hold up the o. r. & N. company
east-bound train No. 4, known as the
Spokane Flyer was partially accom-
plished just after the train left the
East Portland station shortly after
o'clock.
Four masked men boarded the rear
platform of the last car at the east
side depot. The track enters a dark
ravine few hundred feet south of the
depot.
AS the train turned into the gulch the
four men entered the smoking compart-
ment and commanded the occupants to
throw up their hands. The thieves pro-
ceeded to go through their victims,
from whom they secured about $10O
and gold watch.
When these few had been robbed the
bandits nerve seemed to have failed
them, for they stopped the train and
jumped off, disappearing in the heavy
underground along the sides of the
gulch.
Word was sent to the city and county
authorities, who went at once to the
bridge and quickly organized a posse,
which started in search of the thieves.

! WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2l.-Int
statehood bill, having served as long al
necessary to block the way of the pure
food bill and other measures obJectloh-
able to the dominant coterie in the
senate, is now to be given its coup de
grace.
The Republicans who have all along
been secretly opposed to its passage
but did not care to have the fact known
while the bill was needed as bufer
in the senate, are now coming out IN
the open to be counted against 1t.
There are sixteen of them, it is as
serted, and their votes added to the
thirty-three Democratic votes make up
an opposition of forty-nine, four more
than will be required to kill the bill
when the time comes for that opera
ton.
The sixteen Republicans who are
counted on as sure to vote against the
bill are Elkins, Foraker, Bard, Alger,
Burrows, Gallinger, Hansbrough. Hey
burn, McCumber, Stewart, Quarles,
PERKINS, LOlSt DlCh, Il uhIoil anu ~Aii
keny.
In addition there are six Republicans
regarded as doubtful: Knox, Crane,
Kittredge, Spooner, Gamble and Frye.
The latter are not counted against the
bill by it's opponents, but some of them
are expected to vote against its passage
should direct vote ever be reached.
Senator Beveridge, who Is in charge
of the bill, has been trying for the last
two days to get an agreement for
vote, but he has not been successful
When there is such an agreement the
bill will be knocked out on direct
vote and the four territories will be al
lowed to maintain their present status
for couple of years longer at least.
There will not be, it is said, any ar
rangement by which Oklahoma and In
dian Territory will be admitted as a
state and New Mexico and Arizona left
out.
On Monday Senator Bard of Califor-
MIA will make an attempt to have his
amendment accepted, excluding those
territories from the operations of the
bill, but the move will fail.
