Uneasy is the head that not only
wears, but wants crown. l am
not sure but the good old Emperor


William of Prussia would be much
more happy than he is if his heir to
the throne was an amicable adjust
ment. Prince Henry of Prussia,
the second son of the Crown Prince,
now in the Asiatic waters following
his profession as a sailor, is talked
of as being very much desired at
court here. The death Of Prince
Waldemar has left the question Of
succession to the throne an
open question in the order
of following the Crown Prince.
There are here Prince George and
Prince Alexander, of Prussia, two
venerable, snufy and well-smoked
old bachelors, who long since have
waived any pretentions to rule over
Germany-laus Dec Besides
these, there are the two male heirs,
the sons of the Crown Prince, the
ambitious son of Prince Frederick
Charles, and the more ambitious
son of Prince Albrecht. Now, the
paralyzed health of the elder
brother of Prince Henry of Prussia,
is extremely precarious and so is
the succession to the throne in these
days, when a young Prince is away
at sea, where ships and men are
sometimes made to go down against
their will. Hence he is recalled ere
it be too late.

A report was current yesterday that Police
Justice George L. Kasmire had become insane after a

Justice Kasnire lives at No. "a Bankst aud when the

took from him the key of the safe, threw
il out, seized the bag of money, put the
conductor aboard, suffered the telegraph
operator, who said he would "see the
place in hell" before he would stay there
any longer to get aboard the train, and
then ordered the engineer to pull out
and not TO let the ties grow under him.
The train moved away and the robbery
was an accomplished fact. The time oc-
cupied in its commission was about
thirty minutes. The engineer and some
of those who inspected those

thought il was several hours, but they
are influenced witnesses.


As soon as the train departed, the
masked robbers gathered their horses
into squad, the leader served parting
warning upon the inmates of the little
depot not TO stir for fear of their lives,
and then the whole party rode away in
southeastly direction, uttering wild
whoops of exultation over their success.


The postmaster and his companions
waited a few moments, and then broke
open the door of

and issued forth to discuss the stirring
event. No trace of the robbers was left
behind. They had disappeared as they
had come, without announcing their in
tentions, and the citizens of Glendale
had conjccturcs only TO feed upon. They
could communicate with no one by tele-
graph, for not only were the means Of
so doing destroyed, but the operator had
also disappeared, and they had no
knowledge of where he had gone.


The first news of the robbery which
was received in this city was contained
ina


TELEGRAM 10 THE TIMES,
sent from Blue Springs, the next station
east of Glendald on the Chicago & Alton.
Before midnight the story had become
the property Of every one who was upon
the streets.


The loss of the express company is
not accurately known. Mr.. Treat, the
agent of the company in this city says
that he cannot even make an estimate
of the same, as there was through mat
ter from the West, of which only the
messenger would have knowledge. II
is thought, however, that the figures
are very large, and il may be that $780,
600 will not make the company good for
the nights work Of the robbers.


The description given of the man who
acted as leader of the gang are very ac-
curate copies of the portrait of the no.
torious outlaw and desperate who has
made himself so famous on Missouri
soil-Jessc James. He and one other
man were unmasked. The rest of the

For the first time this session lobbies have
begun to swarm in and around the State
capitol. There were two around the hall of
the House of Representatives yesterday. One
was composed of ladies who had not read
the GLOBE and therefore did not know that
the temperance bill had been made the
special order for next Wednesday, the 10th
inst. They thought it was the special order
for yesterday, and came forward to the num-
ber of about twenty to assist by their presence
in securing its passage. When they found
that there was nothing to be done except the
regular routine business they dropped out in
couples and by threes and fours, until none
were left. There was also a very consider
able lobby present to urge the claims of this,
that and the other place as the proper loca-
ton for the second State prison about to be
located. They we're very busy in button
holing members, and made themselves first
class nuisances.


In deliberating upon this question it
would be we'll for our Legislators to examine
the plan of other neighboring States. Take,
for example, Wisconsin, which has popu-
lation greater than ours, and but one State
prison that is not at all overcrowded. Four

We have reports from Tennessee and Missis-
sippi which are calculated to create deep appre-
hension. They are to the effect that during the
last two or three weeks there have been in
these States a number of cases of yellow fever
and some deaths. It is believed the disease has
been caused by the disintermeut and removal
Of the remains of persons who died last sum-
mer of the fever. It has heretofore been be-
ieved that it impossible for yellow fever
to exist when the mercury had reached the

severely freezing weather of this winter, much
uueasiness is naturally felt to what will be
the consequences next summer.

legislature for an additional State prison.
Instead of authorizing such an institution
a law was passed authorizing counties to
build houses of correction in which all GRIM
inals sentenced to terms of Imprisonment
less than two years might be confined. But
one county-Milwaukee- -availed itself of
the law, and built a house of correction.
Ever since its establishment it has been we'll
patronized. 1t has been for several years
self supporting, and at no time has it been
a source of expense to the State. Perhaps
Minnesota could profit from the experience
of our sister State in this particular. We
have no doubt, however, but the matter of
the location of new State prison
can be safely postponed till
the twenty second legislature meets.


We have diverged from our original pur-
pose, which was to compliment the legisla-
lature in having so little to do with lobbies.
We have no doubt the members are we'll
qualified to decide upon all matters that may
come up without outside interference. The
manner in which the lobby has been re-
ceived in many instances leads US to the
conclusion that the present is a legislature
not easily influenced by such means.

Contrary to general expectation (the
Speaker and quite number of tie members
having gone to inspect the stone quarries at
St. Cloud and Sauk Rapids,) there was a
quorum in the House yesterday morning,
and the members at once settled down to
business. The first matter that gave rise to
debate was resolution offered by Mr..
Grazing in regard to the neglect of the
Senate to act on the matter of appointing a
joint committee on railroad Determinations.
It was claimed that this resolution would in
suit the Senate, nevertheless it was adopted
by yea and nay vote. Mr.. Campbell's 8 res
olution of the previous day, relative to the
management of the university, was adopted
without debate.


There was scarcely quorum at the after
noon session, and members refrained from
asking for the passage of bills under sus-
pension of the rules for fear that the roll
call would develop no quorum. A vast
amount of routine business was transacted,
however, and in committee of the whole a
good many bills were got on the calendar for
third reading. It was monotonous but
necessary work, but the good results will be
manifest hereafter.
