 Demand protection of United States consul at Hamilton and stay where you are"
 Mir Mahon last nj ght said eRorN will be made today to have the matter taken up at Washington and an inter national question made of the situa- tiOn, which is without parallel, so far as known.

 New york

New York Nov. 26.-Eight jurors were secured today in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court for the trial of George Burnham, IT,, counsel for the Mutual Reserve Insurance Com7 panS'.
 Burnham. his brother, Frederick A., president of the company. aud vice. president George D. Eidridge were jointly indicted for grand larceny.
 When adjournment was taken until tomorrow, the district attorneys office sought to have Burnham committed to the Tombs. This was vigorously opposed by the prisoners counsel who finally agreed, in the absence of Burnhams bondsmen to assume the responsibility Of producing his client in court to- morrow. The court consented to this arrangement.
 Burnham is alleged to have paid ST. 500 to Nichols and Brown, attorneys for F. B. Armstrong, who was an agent and policyholder of the Mutual. The payments appeared on the books of the company as a contract between Arm strong and the Mutual when, as a mat ter of fact, it is alleged, 1t was settle ment of suit brought by Douglas Wells, vice president of the company, against Frederick A. Burnham as an individual.
 Considerable difficulty was experi- enced in selecting a jury. In the course of the examination Of talesmen as jurors, they were asked whether they knew Senator PIatt and various other persons.

SOUTH IS oUTGRowING EAST

Walthall. Miss, Nov. 2s.-The South's rapid industrial development was tonight attributed by Congress- man John sharp Williams to tho sub~i stantiaI political observation-disclosures og. the negro.
 He said that from 1890 to 1900 Missis-, sippi had made a greater percentaSe of increase even in manufacturing than Connecticut, and that the Southl in general had made a greater pcrcent-I age of such progress than New Eng-I land. As the reason for this he sald:l
 "I state unhesitatingly that this real son consists in the fact that in 1Sy0i Mississippi adopted a new constitution virtually disfranchlsing ignorances. crime and thriftlessness, and therehyl substantially disfranehising the negro race, virtually and for all practical pur~s poses repeating the fifteenth amend~l mont without, however, violating leEal- Iy the provisions of the amendment"
 Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama had done likewise, he said, and the result had been racial peace accompanied by ma-l terial welfare. As conditions are to-l day In Mississippi the negro cuts. inf politics. less figure than in Delaware. New Jersey. Illinois or Indiana.
 As a solution of the negro problem still facing the south, Mir. Williams favored importing white Iahorcrs to' supplant the negro and cause him to leave this sectio nof the United States

 NIAGARA.
Unknown Man Was Carried Over Famous Horseshoe While SueeOring Party Narrowly Escaped Sina-
 liar Fate in Rapids.

Niagara Falls, N. Y. Nov. 26.-An unknown man was swept over the Horseshoe Falls in a small boat this afternoon after a daring attempt had been made to save him.
 An employe of the Ontario Power Company first saw the little craft com ing down the river in the grasp of the swift current. The occupant man. was standing up frantically waving his hands. Two rowboats started down the Chippewa River toward the Mag ara to attempt to rescue at the mouth of the small stream.
 The rescuers went far beyond what is considered the danger line. but a cross current carried the unfortunate man away from them toward Goat Island, and in a few minutes he was carried over the horseshoe falls. The would-be rescuers were by this time in a perilous position, and 1t was with great difficulty that they succeeded in reaching shore.
 They were John Rapeljie, an employe of the Canadian Power Company; De- tective Greenwood, Louis B. Dudd, edi- tor of The Welland Tribune. in one boat and George Gray and Thomas Flommerfleld in the second.

MAKES FULL
 CONFESSION Remarkable Tale of Bandit. WAS HIS FIRST ATTEMPT Robbed Only Those Who Could
 Afford Loss.
RObber Immediately Opened Negotia- lions With District Attorney te copfess lf Charge would Be
 Reduced to Burglary.

Marshall Mo. Nov. 26.--The bandit who held up the Chicago and Alton train last night between Glasgow and Slater was brought to the county jail this afternoon and immediately opened negotiations with the prosecuting ate torney, oaNerinE to make full confess sion if the charge against him was made burglary.
 In assuming the penalty for train robbery is death, the minimum is ten years Imprisonment. The prisoner made Ia full confession and the bandit then volunteered q statement as follows:
 My name is Claude Randall My age 90 years and nine months. came from St. Louis to Mexico, Mo, On the Wabash and from Mexioo to Slater on the Chicago and Alton Railroad yes- terday. My brother was the one who robbed the Golden state Limited and he told me that the Golden State Limi- ted did not stop between Slater and Mexico and for that reason came to Slater to get on the train.
 'I got in the smoking car and went through 1t and entered two or three other cars did not take any money from workingmen and women as enly wanted to take money from those who made 1t easy and could afford to lose it. One man on the train when he heard me tell another passenger that I did not want his money because he was a laborer. said he too was a laborer.
 T did not believe him and asked him to show me his hands. Upon looking at them I found them as soft as wo- mans. l then made him dig up, talk ing from him his $45 watch which told him would send to the St. Louis n. |. only wanted 1t to keep time by until got to my destination.
 Conductors Quick Work.
 When the train reached Glasgow, ] got of on the platform and as the train started to move, l mounted Il again and commenced to go through thu passengers in sleeping car. where allowed the conductSf to set too closs to me and he grabbed my pistol ana my throat. He then wrenched the pis' tof from me and I broke and ran tc the back Of the train.
 Many of the passengers and all ol the train crew rushed upon me. while the train was in motion, and struck me in the head with a pistol and tired to throw me overheard while the train was running rapidly. The train soon stopped and was captured and taken off at Armstrong and brought from there the next morning to Glasgow and from there to this place today. got about $1.5OO, and about ten watches from the passengers on the train. did not want this jewelry but they made me take ft. -a.s
 The prisoner is now awaiting pre-. liminary hearing, which will be held within the next few days. The prisoner has a deep gash in his forehead. where he was struck over the head with a pis- tol while resisting capture.
 The officers are confident that Ran dall robbed the Golden State Limited and not his brother. and that he is only naming the brother" in hope of receiv- ing a light sentence.
