OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Story Of the Hold-Up From General
Manager of Road.

ST. PAUL, October 3.-General Manager
D. s. Elliott of the Great Northern Express
Company made the following statement this
afternoon regarding the hold-up of the
overland passenger train last night near
Seattle:
Our train leaving Seattle for st. Paul
last night at s o'clock was held up by
masked men between Metum and Rich
Seattle, on the shore of Puget sound Two
men evidently got on the front of the mail
car at railroad crossing stop, and very
soon after went into the cab of the engine,
held up the engineer and fireman, requiring
the engineer to stop the train at a given
point, where they were met by probably
three others, who joined the party and
forced the engineer and fireman at the
messenger to open the car door.
"The messenger was then forced to leave
his car. Some of the robbers got into the
car and wrecked the safe by the use Of
dynamite, using three charges, so we are
informed. Such of the contents of the safe
as were not damaged by the explosion were
taken by the robbers, who 1t Is supposed
had boat handy to carry them away.
There was very little money taken, being
all small remittances and amounting to less
than 81 GOO.
THE passengers were not molested, no
one was hurt ,and no damage was done to
the baggage. Some little express matter
was slightly damaged by the force of the
explosion and a portion of the roof of the
express car Immediately over the safe was
blown out so that the car had to be set
out of the train at Everett and another put
in it's place. Up to the present hour we
have no clue as to who the robbers are or
in which direction they made their escape"

DENIED BY PANAMA.
No Intention Entertained of Uniting
With Costa Rica.

Another denial has been made of the re-
cent reports that Panama and Costa Rica
would soon combine as one republic. Senor
Olbaldia, minister of Panama to this coun-
try, received this morning cable from
President Amador of the Panama republic
saying: 'Rumor about union of Panama
and Costa Rica false"
AS to the recognition of Panama by Co
lombia and the payment of part of the
foreign debt by Panama, nothing can be
said at this time by the minister. though
the desperate financial straits of Colombia,
where at this moment a dollar has about
the value of an American cent, make
1t probable that the foreign creditors, who
hold the larger part of that debt, will bring
pressure upon Colombia to make a settle
ment with Panama, which is in far better
financial condition. DR.. Cortes, the Colom-
bian financial agent who came to Wash
ington just at the time that the President
left for his summer home, is now in Lon
don, but it Is likely that he will return to
this country some time in the fall and that
an arrangement will be made to settle the
question of Colombia's debt.

CLERKS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Gen. Edgerly Opposes Transfers From
This Country.

Brig. Gen. w. s. Edgerly, commanding
the department of the Luzon, In his annual
report for the year ended June 80, 1906 says
that the contemplated exchange of clerks
between the United States and the Philip
pine Islands does not seem to have ma
terialized to any great extent. He states
that the old men of the quartermaster's de-
partment in the United States, who have
given the best years of their lives to that
service, and who have families, and in many
instances acquired homes, should not be
compelled to break up their homes or leave
their families for three years in order to go
to the Philippine archipelago, under entirely
different environments from those to which
they are used. He adds that il is doubtful
II the majority of these elderly men would
be able to stand the climate or to render eff
hcient service under circumstances which
are entirely new and experimental with
them. He recommends that group of
classified employees, now in the islands and
willing to remain there, be formed into an
lnsular service, SO as to allow them to re-
main as long as they desire.
Gen. Edgerly calls attention to the annual
report for 1904 of his predecessor, and con-
ours in his remarks concerning the inn
portance and desirability of having suitable
amusement rooms and gymnasiums provided
at each post. He believes they would lessen
the number of trials resulting from the in
temperate use of intoxicants.
