You see" continued the speaker,
slavery is not sla as you under

il,e slaves are practically the equals of
their mistresses. Frequently they mar
rs the same husband. They perform
their duties, which are very light. and
tnen they sit at the feet of their mis-
l.esses and AT once they are in perfect
communion. They sew together, they
talk together ON terms Of equality. Il
they have very little TO do. No slave
works more than four hours Il day.

The robbers went through the chair car,
robbing every passenger of their pocket

men arose in their seats, their faces COW

each hand surveyed the passengers.
Then the leader ordered everybody to
keep still and not make resistance else
they would be shot. Two men went down
the aisles with hats in hand, while the
third kept the passengers covered. All
passengers were ordered to throw pocket
books into the hats, and this was done.
The conductor appeared in the car with
a pistol in his hand, but was promptly
covered with four guns and forced to
drop his revolver.
After getting all the money in the car
the robbers jumped from the train while
1t had slowed down for a grade. An at

LeffingweII Told Of Trip
BY Associated Press.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 6-The last d.
dect news from the Duchess of Bedford
party was dated Near Baxter island.
November ~ and was received in April
At that time Captain Mikkelsen and Lief
fingwell were on their way to Herschel
ilsand, and 1t is generally understood that
this was their last visit to that place.
The intention, when the party left Vic
toria was to remain in winter quarters
until the spring, when Mikkelsen, Letting
well and another intended to make jour-
ney to the northwestward over the ice
to make soundings, with view to the
discovery of unknown land believed to
exist in the Beaufort sea. The Duchess
of Bedford when she left her took food
prepared in sealed tins, each of which
contained a weeks food. These tins were
especially prepared for handling during
the trip.
In the last letter written by Mr.. Lef-
fingwell in November he said the journey
over ice was to be started in March last
and was expected to occupy two months.
Mr. Leffingwell said: Next March
Captain Mikkelsen and shall make a
two months trip north over the ice from
F1axman island to explore that area;
there is good prospect of discovering
land there. 1t has been reported by
whalers, the tide indicates it and the
fact that ice never leaves the shore for
more than few miles, These all point
to land not more than a hundred miles
away. In June or July hope to go up
the Kagua river to do some geological
work When navigation opens up in Au-
gust We shall sail for Herschel island
and call for mail thence to Banks land
and make our sled trip west over the ice
as was our original program"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-The
United States gunboat Raleigh steamed
into port this morning as the first vessel
of the Asiatic fleet now bound this way
to arrive from the orient.
Following close upon the Raleigh the
cruiser Cincinnati is expected to arrive
at San Francisco within the next two
days, after which will come the Mary

While 700 miles off this port the Raj
eigh announced her coming by wireless

While coming from Yokohama to Hon

decks were kept almost continually
awash and much deck gear near the
bow was carried overheard.
Upon the ships arrival at Honolulu
a clash occurred between those on the
vessel and the quarantine officials of
the island port. 1t was first insisted by
the quarantine officials that the blue
Jackets on the Raleigh be denied shore
leave, and those on the fighting craft
lost little time in making complaint
AS a result the Raleighs men won and
Honolulu was visited at will during the
remainder of the ships stay.

EARLE GIVES
WIFE $4,000
ARTISTS AFFINITY HAS A HOME
OF HER OWN
After Being Mobbed by Fellow Towns
men, He Asks Permission to Plead
Righteousness of Action in
Putting Away Spouse
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Ferdinand P.
Earle, the artist whose strange domestic
arrangements have brought him much
publicity and whose wife sailed yesterday
for France, where she Is to secure a
divorce In order that her husband may
marry his affinity, came from his country
home at Monroe, N. Y, today to make a
settlement of part of his estate upon Mrs
Earle.
He visited his attorneys Office and exc
cuted papers necessary to the settlement
of a certain sum upon the wife he just
put away. The exact amount was not
stated by Earle or his counsel, but was
reported to be about $4,000.
Mrs. Earle sailed yesterday for Paris,
where she will bring proceedings for
divorce.
Earle, who has set his fellow townsmen
at Monroe and other persons all agog by
shipping his young wife and little son
Harold off to Europe so that he may OBJ
tain the freedom he needs to marry an
other, has written lengthy defense Of
his actions, his text being recent criticism
of himself by woman writer.
Notwithstanding that he was mobbed
by indignant citizens and desire to treat
him roughly again should he return from
New York to Monroe was manifested,
Earle told the village president that II he
could get chance seriously to discuss
with the villagers what he has done he
could convince them of the Righteousness
Of his position. The village president ad-
vised the artist not to try to get the peo-
pies ears.
1t is reported that the young woman
to whom Earle hopes to be married after
the divorce from Mrs. Earle is now in the
White mountains. 1t appears that she has
a home in Bethlehem, N. H.
Frederick r. Coudert, jr., of the firm of
lawyers who are regarded as authorities
on international law, thinks that Mrs.
Earle will find her way beset with many
difficulties when the case comes up in the
French courts. The laws in France gov
erning divorce are very severe, he says.
