Passenger Train 10 Held Up.

Portland, Ore. Jan. 23.-The Spo
kane Flyer" on the o. X. & N. road
was held up and robbed just after the
train left the East Portland station to-
night shortly after o'clock.
-Four masked men boarded the rear
platform OF the last car, known as
the "Walla Walla sleeper" at the east
side depot.
The track enters a dark ravine a
few hundred feet south of the depot,
known as Sullivans gulch. AS the
train entered the gulch the four men
entered the smoking compartment and
commanded the occupants to throw up
their hands.
The thieves proceeded to go through
their victims from whom they secured
about 800, and one gold watch.
When these few had been robbed
the bandits nerves seemed to have
failed them for they stopped the train
and jumped of, disappearing into the
heavy underground along the sides of
the gulch under the East Twenty
eighth street bridge.

TOSAVECHINA
FROM BREAKUP
UNCLE SAM INITIATES PLAN TO
SAVE EMPIRE FROM Dis
MEMBERMENT.

Paris, Jan. z0.-The French eoF-
eminent and other powers have re-
ceived communication from the
American government which, II ap-
proved by the powers, will exert 4
far reaching effect in preventing the
territorial breakup Of China when
peace is eventually made between
Russia and Japan. The American in
itiative in this direction is distinct
from the recent note relative to Rus
sia's protest against China's alleged
breach of neutrality. This latter note
treats of the continuation of China's
neutrality in the pending war, but
the other communication treats of Chi
nese territory after the war Ia con-
cluded. This step is based upon in.
formation reaching the United States
government that some Uf the powers
are apprehensive that the eventual
consideration of peace between Rus
sia and Japan will lead to claims on
portions of Chinese territory. The
American communication tends to
avert the possibility OF such claims
being made. thus insurlng a continu-
ance OF the present policies Of the
open door and the territorial integrity
Of the empire.
The French, British and Italian gov
ernments have approved the American
communication. II other powers ap-
prove it, it will constitute a notable
that the powers will
not make claims on Chinese territory
when peace is ultimately concluded. |

WORK OF THE

WEEKS or THE SES-
SION.

Helena. Jan. 13--The legislative as

SO FAR. the result OF the three weeks
grind has been the introduction of &,
bills in the house and % IN the sen
ate. making a total Of Ill measures
Three bills were killed in the house
during the week, while one bill and
joint resolution were passed.. The
measure which went through was
Wiedeman's bill, designed to enable
the Lewist0wn school district to bond
IN order to repay borrowed money.
While not designated as . measure
intended to specially benefit Lewis
town. that district is the only one.
probably, that just now comes under
It's provisions. The three bills killed
were of general interest. One repeal
ed the present law for child and ami.
NAL protection. one amended the me-
chanics' lien and one amended the
compulsory education law.
The senate passed the Whipple bill
providing for the semi-annual nay.
ment OF taxes, and one amending the
law relating to the payment for stock
killed by railroads.
The election of T. H. Carter as
United States senator early in the
week had the effect of centering at.
tention on legislation with the result
that much progress was made in the
consideration Of bills by committees.
During the latter days of the week
many bills were reported back by
committees, and a number should so
on general orders tomorrow.
The coming week promises to be
the most interesting so far Of the ses-
sion. The joint committee that left
to make an investigation of :
The charges brought by Tom O'Brien
against the state prison management
will return tomorrow. and it's report !.
will probably be made not later than ,
The recount of the legislative vote '
IN Lewis and Clarke county in con-
lection with the Richardson-Wellma
contest Is expected will be completed
tomorrow, and report will be made
o the house Tuesday.
1t Is questionable if any of the rail-
Dad commission bills will get before
he house this week. The senate
makes more rapid progress than the
louse, having fewer bills to deal with
md 1t Is possible that both the Mar
len and Bremen bills will get into
of the whole.
There are three railroad committee
ILLS In the house. One was introduc-
ID by O'Connor, one by Canoll and one
