ECHOES OF FAR EASTERN WAR,

M. Witte, the senior Russian peace
plenipotentiary, returned to st. Peters
burg Thursday and the enthusiastic
welcome accorded by the waiting
crowds fully demonstrated the great
popularity Of the statesman and pub
lie appreciation of the services he has
rendered his country at Portsmouth.
Notwithstanding the silence of the
government the real fact is disclosed
that Japan made peace at Portsmouth
in fear Of a financial breakdown. The
war proved costly than had been
calculated and the rice and cereal
crops seemed doomed to failure.

BANDITS HOLD UP aREATNoRTH.
ERN OVERLAND JUST EAST
OF SEATTLE WASH.
OFFICIALS SAY NO BOOTY is SECURED
ROBBERS USE TOO MUCH DYNA.
MITE, DESTROYING BOTH
SAFE AND CONTENTS.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 1.-THE Great
Northern overland train, %eastbound
was held up and the baggage and ex
press car dynamited about ten miles
east Of here at S:45 p. m. I
Three men are known to have done
the work. Two boys who got on the
blind baggage here, as soon as the
holdup began, entered the passenger
coaches and began holding up the
passengers. They were captured.
They say two of the men were on the
blind baggage when they got IN and
the third got on at Ballard. All were
we'll dressed, with raincoats and
sionch hats.
So far as reported no one has been
killed, but it is reported that Charles
Anderson, express messenger, is
Slightly injured. Express officials say
the bandits used 100 much dynamite,
destroying both the safe and it's con-
tents. There were no valuables in the
safe, it is claimed, as it is not GUS
tomary for eastbound trains to carry
much money.
When the train was tagged by n
OF the bandits and the engineer slowed
up two men with raincoats climbed
over the tender and presented revol-
vers to his head. When the train
stopped two OF the robbers jumped
Off, making the engineer and fireman
do the same, and all marched to the
baggage .car door. e
The messenger was commanded to
open the door and, refusing, an extra
heavy charge Of dynamite was placed
against it and exploded. The explo-
sion tore the car almost to pieces.
, once inside the car the robbers be-
gan dynamiting, the first explosion be-
ing OF six sucks, the second twelve
and the third eighteen. After secur-
ing the contents Of the safe the three
men started OF in ga easterly direc-
tion.
Some of the express matter was
slightly damaged by the explosions
and a part OF the roof of the express
car Immediately over the safe was
blown out. Tie car was cut out of
the train at Everett and it's contents
were transferred. M
