Practically All Of the Great Railroad
and Industrial Corporations of the
Country Have Decided to Advance
Rate Of Employees Wages.

New York, Nov 9.-The Herald says
that it became known yesterday that
practically all the great railroad and
industrial corporations of the country,
the affairs of which are directed from
this city, have decided to increase the
prevailing rate of the wages of their
employees. Besides the Pennsylvania
railroad, which has already announced
an increase, the Standard Oil Company,
United States Steel Corporation, and
Amalgamated Copper Company, are
mentioned as having decided on an in
crease or have the subject under con-
sideration. The New York Central,
Lackawanna, and other eastern rail-
roads, have either been requested to
advance the wages of their employees,
OR have taken some steps to do so. The
Herald says the increased cost Of liv-
ing, and the prevailing prosperity, are
reasons for the steps taken.

Kansas City, Nov. "a lone robber,
heavily masked boarded the rear of
the sleeper OH the east-bound Califor-
mia limited train on the Rock Island,
between Slater and Glasgow, Mo-, at
l1:5S last night, robbed three passen-
gers and escaped in the darkness. Ac-
cording to the local offices of the Pull
man compan.y, the -obber secured but
s65. Among the three men forced by
the robber to disgorge was E. R. Sla-
gle of Kansas City, assistant superin-
tendent Of the Pullman company. The
train was a thru fast passenger from
California, which, between Kansas City
and Chicago, uses the Alton tracks.
The robber, who is described as being
tall and wearing long black overcoat
and mask, bearded the rear sleeper at
Slater. When the train had gained
headway, he entered the sleeper and
observation car. He encountered L. s..
Searson, the Pullman conductor, c.. w.
Roller, flagm.ln, and r. Wood, negro
porter, all OF Chicago. Leveling two
revolvers at the trio Of trainmen, the
robber commanded them to proceed
ahead of him and wake up the passen-
gers. AS his command was carried out,
the robber, forcing the conductor, por-
ter and fiagm an ahead of him, secured
what booty he could In his hurried
march thru the, car. When he had
reached the front end of the car he
started for tie second Pullman. The
porter however, had managed to get
far enough All cad of the others to make
q dash for the second car, and slammed
and locked tue door in the face of the
robber. The train then was at a point
about a mile east Of Glasgow. Realiz-
ing that he could proceed no further
with his work, the robber pulled the
air rope, and while the train was slack
ening it's speed he jumped off and dis
appeared.
Early this morning officers started
out from Glas asgow, Slater, Kansas City
and other nearby places, to trace the
robber. The territory in which he
worked is Tricky settled, and it will
be difficult for him to make his escape.

statement touching quoted conversa-

For many years it has been the
invariable practice never to attempt to

a matter of fact man who quotes
such a conversation usually misquotes
it, whether consciously or unconscious

under no circumstances to be held as
calling for either explanation or denial

PRESIDENT AT SEA
Conditions Could Not be More Prom

ama-Wireless Messages Expected
During Entire Trip.

Norfolk, Va, Nov 9.-President
Roosevelt, on board Of United States
battleship Louisiana, bound for the
Isthmus of Panama, passed out to sea
thru the Capes of Virginia at $40 this
morning. The Louisiana was followed
by the armored cruisers Tennessee and
Washington, which are to convoy the
battleship on it's southern trip. When
some distance off Cape Henry, the
Louisiana raised signals of some kind,
which the United States weather OBJ
server at the cape was unable to dis
tinguish, because of the great amount
of smoke being emitted from the fun
nels Of the Louisiana and other ves-
sells at the time. Neither warship
made any stop however and soon
passed put of sight to the southeast of
Cape Henry.
The transfer last night of the pres
idential party in upper Chesapeake

Louisiana, was without special Incl
dent. The weather at sea today was
charming and the conditions for de-
lightful trip by the president and his
party could not be more promising
than at present. Wireless telegraph
messages are expected from the presi-
dent all along the coast. The Louisiana
will not leave the coast shore for any
great distance, and will be in touch by
wireless almost during the entire trip

dred well-arn1ed men, who last night
surrounded this station, threw three
bombs at the mail car Of the train, de-
rallied the car, robbed it, and fled with
a sum of money said to amount to

the revolutionists hid in neighboring
forts, and were excellently disciplined,
their commander giving his orders
thru bugle signals. When the robbery
was completed, the revolutionists
transported the booty to two wagons,
and marched>off in military order, sing
ing socialistic songs.
