PROBABLY DEAD,
Attempt to Rifle Express Car Near
Rochester Disastrous for
the ROBBERS.

Syracuse, N. Y. Nov. 11.-An at
tempt to rob New York Central train
No. "a, the American express between
Lyons and this city, was frustrated
and two men were arrested at the
point of guns. A third is believed to
have fallen under the train and been
killed.
The two men arrested are now
locked up in this city charged with
attempted express robbery. They said
they were George Williams, aged 18,
and Frank Brown, aged 16, and that
they resided in Buffalo.
The American Express generally is
laden with silks and other valuable
goods consigned by shippers in New
Orleans and other cities to New Eng.
land merchants.
A car on the train was looted of
several hundred dollars worth of silks
four weeks ago, and two weeks ago
New York Central detectives William
Hennessy and Frand Boquard, were
ordered to ride the train between Buff.
falo and this city. Both were we'll
armed.
When the train stopped at Lyons at
9 o'clock in the evening the detectives
and Express Messenger Beard noticed
three men with large electric flash
light walking along the tracks examin.
in the cars.
When they reached the car in which
were the officials they mounted the
steps and waited for the train to pull
out. The locomotive was soon speed.
ing mile minute and the men with
a skeleton key turned the lock. A
large chain still held the door and this
was soon pulled from the woodwork
by clawhammer.
Two men entered the car and were
quickly covered by the officers guns
and ordered to throw up their hands
Too surprised to move, they failed to
obey. A second order was effective
and the prisoners were shackled. A
search was made for the third
man, but no trace him could be
found.
The prisoners declined to say any
thing about themselves beyond giving
names and stating that Buffalo was
their home. They also declined tc
give any information about their com

Capital.

Washington, Nov. 10-While reiter.
ating his oft expressed belief that the
United States should attempt ma
tional expedition into Antarctic regions
Commander Robert E. Peary declared
that because Commander Robert F.
Scott, of the British navy, is working
on South pole expedition, 1t would
be improper to attempt to utilize his
route or the regions in which he is at
work. Therefore, he said, he has CIV
ed the matter no further thought.
Commander Peary repudiated the
printed announcement that within five
years he would head an expedition to
seek the South pole under the auspices
Of the Peary Arctic club, saying:
THAT statement is erroneous. When
I came back from this present expedi.
ton to the United States I explicitly
stated that my field of work both in
the Arctic and Antarctic regions, was
at an end, but that l should be very
glad to assist in any way possible in
the promotion or organization of fur.
Their work in those regions.
I'm view of the fact that Command.
or Scott is working on an expedition
to reach the South Pole, any attempt
to utilize his route or the regions in
which he is to work would be entirely
improper to attempt.

should attempt a national expedition

PRESIDENT PETERSON'S ADDRESS

In this issue will be found the ad-
dress of Capt. J. E. Peterson, presi-
dent of the State Farmers Alliance
delivered before that body in annual
convention in Hillsboro yesterday, and
we commend it's perusal to every
reader of The Argus, for it is indeed
most excellent in spirit, wholesome
in suggestion and guidance and abso-
lutely sane in it's political ethics.
President Peterson is himself one
of the most delightful of optimists
and one of the most patriotic OF c1t1-
zens, and in intelligence, experience
and sound judgment he is well fitted
for a safe leader for the great indus
trial association at whose head he
has stood for the past two years.
His administration marks the be-
ginning of a new and progressive
chapter in the history of the States
Farmers Alliance, as shown by his re-
port of the years work and Its
achievements, and his splendid ad'
dress should be-and will be-treas
ured, not only as a guide for the fu
ture, but as an Intelligent exponen
of the patriotic purposes and sount
principles Of the Alliance.

SHOULD BE UNITED OPPOSITION

There are two propositions that
cannot be pushed aside, namely, the
DEVELOPMENT of the South is dependent
upon additional white labor, and, sec
ondly, that labor must come from
the North or from Europe. No doubt
a steady tide of farmers will come to
an inviting climate from the North,
but it will not be large enough to de-
velop in a single generation Southern
resources and Southern possibilities.
We need immigrants, and the New
York Commercial thus explains how
such people can be attracted to this
section: "The South, beyond all
question, offers better opportunities to
intending agriculturists arriving here
from Europe than does either the
North or the West, and she does need
a better supply of labor than she now
has; and immigration stations at New
Orleans and other Southern points
would no doubt operate to steer ar
irving newcomers that way. But the
South must establish emigration
agencies of her own in foreign coun-
tries if she hopes ever to draw for
eigners steadily within her borders
either as laborers or artisans or set
tiers on her lands. The great trunk
lines of American railroads, working
primarily in their own interest, OF
cally the European agents Of the
Western states; and, steering and
ticketing emigrants through to that
section from the ports of departure
across the Atlantic, they became most
important factors in the development
and upbui1ding of the great West, and
the process sis still going on. The
companies owning and operating the
trunk lines of railroads that penetrate
the great South pursue no such sys-
tematic policy. The South must estab-
lish the foreign agencies herself
through the cooperation of the
states, counties and cities; she car
then have her pick of the enigrants
on the other side once she causes hel
exceptional advantages to be known
there"
All very true, but just at presen
Commissioner Keefe is opposing thu
establishment of an immigration sta
ton in New Orleans. His predeces
sor, Mr.. Sargent, favored a polio!
that looked to the diversion of i'm
migrants from the congested Easter
cities to the South and the West
There should be an united opposition
in the South to the Keefe policy. I'm
migration stations should be erecte
in several Southern ports, and thes
ports should get to work to defes
Keefe's plans and notions.
