Train Robbers Balked Desperate Game.

ONE OF THEM SHOT AND KILLED.

One of tli« Officers SUot and Fatally

As the train pulled out of Goshen the robber who had betrayed his $ompanions left the train without their knowing it, rushed into the telegraph office and told the operator to tell the sheriff's party here that the robbers had changed their plans. The officers hastened back to meet the train and boarderd the engine at Tagus. The robbers did not intend to make their presence known until after the train had pulled out of the station, but the officers saw the men and opened fire. The bandits returned the volley and Sheriff Daggett was shot through the lungs, sustaining a wound that will probably prove fatal. Constable Reed was shot in the shoulder. McCole, who is believed to have been •ne of the Dal ton gang, was killed. The other robber escaped.

CUBAN DEBATE RESUMED.

No Time Fixed For a Vote on the Resolution—House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March 20.—Cuba had the entire attention of the senate yesterday, speeches being made by Senators Gray, Chilton and Caffery, the debate being enlivened by many spirited incidents. Mr. Gray's plea for Cuba brought on a running cross-fire of comment and inquiry from Mr. Hale. The Delaware senator caused much amusement by referring to Mr. Hale as "the senator from Spain."

Afresh and vigorous contribution to the debate came from Mr. Chilton of Texas, who has seldom addressed the senate. He urged that there was abundant work at home to occupy the attention of congress instead of enlisting inhumanitarian crusades abroad, with their possibilities of war. Mr. Caffery also opposed the Cuban resolutions. Senators Palmer, Mills, Plate and some others are yet to be heard on the resolutions and no time for a vote has been fixed.

r. Bayard -Will Be Censured. WASHINGTON? March 20.—-Under an

agreement reached just prior to the adjournment of the house yesterday the vote on the resolutions to censure Mr. Bayard will be taken up today. The debate on the resolutions yesterday at times drifted into a discussion of the merits of protection as an economic policy. Mr. Tucker (Dem., Va.), who made the principal speech in opposition, defended Mr. Bayard's utterances, and Senator Chandler's interview was again brought forward as a vindication of Mr. Bayard's statement that protection tended to corrupt public life. The Republicans vied with each other in upholding and eulogizing protection. There is no doubt that the resolutions will bo adopted by practically a strict party vote.

Young Mrs. Taylor tantalized Miss Gertrude, so it is said, about the organ, which she was soon to grace the home of Mrs. Robert Taylor, and the child appealed in vain to her father. She then determined on vengeance arid secured a box of rough on nirs, wi .eh she dumped into the coffee r.

FISHING TUG FROZEN IN.

The Hands and Feet of All of Her Crew Badly Frostbitten.

CLEVELAND, March 30.—About noon yesterday the fishing tugs Jessie Enas and Helene went out on the lake, and after gathering the nets set out the night before, started back. When outside the breakwater the blizzard struck them, and they were soon hemmed in by dense packs of floating ice. that were driven in by the north wind. They were soon imprisoned and in danger of sinking, and they whistled for help.

The powerful harbor tngs Bacon and F. E. Smith forced their way to the rescue amid the blinding snowstorm, and the Bacon also became wedged fast. The Smith released her and. they returned to the river. Just before nightfall they again made the attempt, and this time, after a hard battle, brought the Helene in. The hands and feet of all her crew were badly frostbitten.

The attempt to rescue the Jessie Enas was abandoned. She will probably be dashed against the breakwater before many horn s.
