 The engineer of the first locomotive was told to hammer on the door and order the express messenger to open it. The latter refused. and a charge of dynamite was placed against it. and the door blown open. The rob- bers rushed in, covering the express messenger with revolvers. Several charges of dynamite were placed un- der the safe but exploded without result, except to wreck the interior of the car.
 After firing a volley. the robbers fled in the darkness. One of the train men in the meantime had reached Malta. and Sheriff Campbell with a posse at once started in pursuit. They are supposed to be in the mountains.

 from Office.

Washington. Sept 17.-Charles H. Treat United States treasurer. has resigned from that office. to take ef- feet in October. The announcement of the resignation was authorized by Mir. Treat.
 MT. Treat said that his resignation would take effect some time in Oc- tober." This means that he will await the appointment by the president of a successor. who. lt is expected. win be announced soon. Large and grow ing business interests and the death of some of his associates who have directed his private business affairs, Mir. Treat said. have made it impera- tive that he should give these matters his immediate and exclusive attention
 He was asked if he contemplated connection with one of the large banking institutions of the country. and he replied that he could not dis cuss that matter at this time.
 For some time the relations between Mir. Treat and some of the higher offl- cers of the department have not been as cordial as during the preceding ad- ministration. and Mir Treat did not participate in some of the conferences in which the treasurer usually figures. He has been in close touch with some of the leading banking interests in New York. and is an intimate friend of Senator Aldrich, who has fre- quently consulted him on financial legislation

 Ryan Makes a Statement.
 John J. Ryan, who styles himself a ''stock and bond broker" and who is widely known In sporting circles, espe- cially at the race tracks, pledged as security for loans large blocks of the stolen bonds at the Fifty-third Ma tional bank and the First National bank of tbis city. Ryan says that he had held 145 of these bonds. mostly Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and Rock Island bonds. The par value of each bond was s1,O00.
 These bonds came into my possess sion in the ordinary course of busi- ness" said Ryan when seen today. T got them from customer who Is now in Europe. l had no reason to expect the bonds came in his possession wrongfully. nor would voice any such fuspicion now.

the president, land I wish it could have been otherwise.
 Tt is the one important defect in the bill and in the performance of the promises of the party platform. That 1t will increase the price of woolen cloths or clothes, however, very much doubt"
 As to cotton goods, the president as serted that it was found by the talk ing of evidencei that on the lower grades of goods the manufacturers were only making a decent profit. As to the higher grades, it was found that through court decisions the rates had been reduced to point below those charged on the lower grades This called for a readjustment and a change from ad vaIorem to specific rates.
 As to whether the rates on cotton goods are higher thar they ought to be- said the president. "it was a question of evidence. I will not de- fend this evidence. but we hope soon to know more about the tariff than we did at the beginning of this fight"
 Duties of New Tariff Commission.
 President Taft dwelt at some length upon his interpretation of the duties and scope of activity of the new tariff commission, which it has been assert ed in some quarters was made into an innocuous body by senate amend ments to the bill. Mir. Taft ha, main tained all along that the commission, as finally authorized, could accom- plish all that could be desired He said tonight that the commission could collect evidence at home and abroad, would ascertain the price of producing here and abroad and would gather into an encyclopedia expert in- formation on every question and ev- cry article entering into a tariff law.
 MT Taft said it would be utterly useless and distressing to business to bring about further discussion of the tariff during the present or next ses- sion of congress, and added that it would require the. three years of his administration for the commission to collect facts which wSlld enable them 10 Justify taking up the tariff on a more scientific basis than ever before.
 By that time, he asserted, the par ty would be ready to go before the people again with a definite propesi- tion.
 The president will go to Minneapolis and St. Paul tomorrow, and having two more days on Minnesota soil. there is much interest in how his tar if views, expressed tonight for the irst time In detail. will be received.
