TEXAS TRAIN is ROBBED.
Express Messenger Beaten and Hurled
Off Train.

Redwater, Tex, Dec. 3.-The express
car attached to train No. of the Cot
ton Belt route. was robbed and Ex-
press Messenger w. A. Grissip hurled
from the moving train after having
been beaten and badly wounded by the
robbers. The robbery, it is believed,
occurred about a mile from this place,
but was not discovered until the train
reached Eylau, the next stop. The ex-
press messenger was found beside the
track, badly hurt, and showed indica-
tons of a desperate fight. The robbers
escaped.
That the robbery was successful is
evident so far as a'hasty inspection of
the car and it's contents would indicate,
but the amount stolen is not known.
At Eylau Conductor Blair, who was
in charge of the train, saw that the
door of the express car had been
forced, and on entering found it splat-
tered with blood, the messenger miss
ing and the car bearing every appear
ance of having been looted. The train
men were sent back on hand cars and
Grissip was found. While he is badly
hurt, it is not believed that his injuries
will prove fatal.

A Single Heavy Snow May Precipitate
Calamity

Denver, Col, Dec. 4.-With winter
at hand and more or less serious rail-
road blockades threatened at any
time, the entire country west of the
Missouri river and almost from the
Canadian border to the Rio Grande,
is running literally on little more than
a handful of coal. At hardly any city
in the west is there more than one or
two days supply of fuel on hand.
Many manufacturing industries have
actually been compelled to suspend
business for lack of coal. The supply,
even for the peoples homes, may be
cut off with the first severe storm.
With a single heavy snow positive
danger will take the place of incon-
venience.
Managers of the transportation and
coal companies attribute the condition
to the country's unprecedented growth
and to the enormous demands upon
them. Having delayed too long, they
are bending every energy to replenish
the fuel supply.
The consumers generally do not ac-
cept this explanation. They say the
trouble is. due to the clutch of mo-
nopoly on the mines of Wyoming,
Utah, Colorado and other western
states. In proof of this assertion they
point to the disclosures before the
interstate commerce commission, dur
ing last weeks hearing at Salt Lake
City.
1t is estimated that the fuel supply
would be ample but for the seizure of
all valuable coal properties along the
railroad rights of way and to the check
put by heavy freight charges on de-
velopment by independent firms.

snip interview.
Washington, Dec. General Gro

that he will be in a position to report

He denies the assertion in toto and
declares that words have been put into
his mouth that he never uttered.
General Crozier admits that his bu-
reau has been in communication with
Wright Bros, Of Dayton, Ohio, who
have experimental with an aeroplane,
but he says that no offer has been
made for the purchase of such ma
chine and declared that the govern
ment will not furnish money to any in.
ventor for experimental purposes. He
says the government now has a burst
ing charge for shells with which it is
perfectly satisfied.

WORK OF ARMED Mob
BURNED TOBACCO PLANTS AT
PRINCETON, KENTUCKY.
Numbered About 300 Men-Seized
and Disarmed Night Waterman,
Then Applied the Torch-Forced
Firemen Away.

Louisville, KY, Dec. "a special
from Princeton, KY, says: The to-
bacco stemmeries of John Steger and
John G. Orr, the latter controlled by
the Imperial To.acco company of New
York, were destroyed by fire, kindled
by mob of masked men. The loss
is estimated at $4,000.
The mob, which numbered about 300
men, entered Princeton between one
and two o'clock, seized the night mar
shall and disarmed him. They then
went to the factory and quickly ap-
piled the torch.
The masked men stood on guard.

the buildings were enveloped in flames

mob took charge of the telephone Of

beyond control they left the town. 60

they departed. When the fire depart
ment arrived it could do nothing more
than prevent the fire from destroying
buildings in the vicinity. The Steger
stemmerv was located ON the south
side of town on the Illinois Central
railroad and the Orr building in the
northern part of town.
The Steger factory is controlled by
the American Snuff company and Mr..
Steger is the Princeton agent for that
concern. Mr.. Orr is the agent of the
Imperial company. There were about
10000 pounds Of tobacco in each
warehouse and all of it was burned
The mob, in addition to disarming
the night policeman, took charge of
the station and the waterworks Even

could not have obtained water.

ton by the tobacco raisers against
the tobacco trust. The organization
of farmers is known as the Dark To
bacco Growers Protective Association
but it is not known that any member
was in last nights mob.
1t is not improbable that Governor
Beckham will be asked to call out the
militia to protect property in those dis
tricts in view of past outrages.
G. F. Snyder, secretary of the state
board Of fire underwriters, says the
insurance companies will not be
responsible for the loss of the plants
under the clause exempting them in
cases of riot and invasion. The pro
tective association was formed
throughout the dark tobacco district
and severest measures were taker
against growers who refused to joir
it. Marauders visited their farms al
night and cut down their tobacco
plants with hoes, set fire to theil
barns and committed other depreda
tons. The i'll feeling began about 81,
years ago when the Italian government
sent agents into the dark tobacco
field. These agents paid such higf
prices for the tobacco that other agents
were driven out of the field.

CONGRESS BEGINS
FIFTY-NINTH SESSION is EX-
PECTED TO BE SHORT.
Appropriation Bill viii Reach at Least
a Billion DoIIars-Shlp Subsidy Bill
to Come Up-Tariff to Be Consider
ex-senator Reed Smoot Case Is to
Come Up for Settlement.

The passage of the appropriation
bills and as little other general legis-
lation as possible. Such in brief is
the forecast for the short session of
the Fifty-ninth congress, which begun
at noon Tuesday.
Circumstances will have the effect
OF condensing the consideration of
the IA large supply measures into
two months. Considering that the ag-
gregate of the appropriations to be
considered will approximate one bill
ion dollars, some senators and mem
bers express the opinion that congress
cannot do better than give all of it's
time to these measures.
The report on the ship subsidy bill
probably will be an exception to the
rule for no general legislation. The
friends Of that measure have never
been more insistent than now. They
are extremely hopeful and yet very ap-
prehensive. The bill has passed the
senate and is in committee in the
house.
The senate has on its calendar two
important house bills, the immigration
bill and the Philippine tariff bill, but
there are snags in the pathway Of
both Of them. There is still intense
OPPOSITION to the Philippine bill, espe-
cially as it is not believed that it can
possibly receive serious consideration
during the short session.
Not few members of both houses
are anxious to meet the demands of
bankers and others for more elastic
currency, and it is quite certain that
there will be efforts to supply this
want in the session.
Suggestions looking toward amend
ing the railroad rate law are not ex-
pected to bear fruit this session. All
these measures and many others are
certain to receive attention in the de-
bate.
Among questions slated for liberal
share of discussion, the tariff stands
at the head of the list, but no one has
the least idea that any serious efforts
will now be made to secure the modi-
fication which even many republicans
think desirable.
The senate will give attention to
the case of Senator Reed Smoot, but
what it will do about 1t, not even the
senate wishes now to contemplate.
There has from the first been a dispo-
sition to put the Smoot matter aside,
but with the report of the committee
on privileges and elections on the cal
endar and Chairman Burrows quite de-
termined to press consideration, the
fact is that the matter must be dealt
with, and is beginning to impress itself
upon members and they are pressing
seriously for its consideration. The
Michigan senator will set the ball roll
ing Monday, the 10th instant, in a
speech in which he will review the
entire case.
Much interest attaches to the presi-
dents forthcoming recommendations
concerning the Panama canal, princi-
pally. because of his recent visit to the
canal zone. 1t is not expected that he
will ask much legislation beyond the
necessary appropriations, and there is
general disposition to grant these. The
increase of the navy will receive much
consideration, but there is still oppo-
sition to the proposed ship of the
Dreadnaught class.
