Senator Halo's Views ftpoclal to the IiMTianapulis Journal. Ellsworth. Me., Aug. 4. Senator ITale says that the Senate committee on relations with Canada took no testimony on the Bearing sea question, regarding it as a matter for diplomatic negotiation. They saw nothing while on the Pacific coast to indicate any ill feeling on the sub ject. Mr. Hale does not see any reason to expect trouble with Canada or England over the ltehring sea matter. On tho contrary, he thinks all the governments toncerned will co-operate to protect the seal fisheries from piracy. The question of the closed sea need not be raised for this purpose. Mr. Hale disclaimed any intention of speaking for the administration. As for Mr. blame's views he had no means of knowing them. CATHOLIC TROFESSORS. '

Foreigners Not to Be Kept Out of Washington Unirenlty by the Contract-Labor Law. Bixlal to the Isdliaoolls Journal. Washington. Aug. 4. Notwithstanding the recent decision of Solicitor of the Treasury Hepburn, adverse to the importation of the foreign professors engaged by Bishop Keane last winter, for the Catholic University at Washington, those gentlemen will come to this country and take the places for which they are intended. The educators intended are the Rev. Dr. Schroedcr, of the Cologne Seminary, for tho chair of dogmatic theology; Uev. Dr. Banquillon, of the University at Lille, moral theology; Dr. Ily vernat. of the Appolonaire at Koine, Holy Scriptures; Iev. l)r. Joseph Pohle, of Fulda, philosophy: and Charles Warren Stoddard, English literature. It will be remembered that after the rendering of Mr. Hepburn's opinion the matter wns carried before the Attorney general, hoping for a reversal of the decision, but the Attorney-general' declined to take upthe v ase because it was. as yet. hypothetical. lie would give io opinion until the arrival in this country of the persons referred to. Since that time everything has been arranged, it is understood, to the entire satisfaction of the university authorities. They have been given assurances that thoir foreign educators will not be interfered with. So a gentleman, & government of ficial of high standing, said yesterday. 'There will be no ditbcnlty whatever," he eaid. "The professors will bo permitted to uand without question. If, however, upon their arrival, objection should come from inyquarter.it will be decided, and very rroperly, too, by competent authority, that :he law providing for the exclusion of !abor under contract was not intended to ipply to the cias named herein.'7 THEIR VIEWS OF CIVIL S Kit VICE. Cabinet Officer Express Themselves Mr. Koosevelf s Statement Denied. Special to tho JulUnapoUs Journal. Washington, Aug. 4. Tho Tost to-morrow morning will publish a series of interviews with tho members of tho' Cabinet, denying the statement of Civilservice Commissioner Roosevelt in a published interview that the civil-servico law had been violated by a Cabinet officer againstliis protest. The only member of the Cabinet not interviewed was Mr. Blaine, who is out of the city. The gentlemen interviewed were asked, also, if they thought tho public service was improved by the work of tho Civilservice Commission; if, under other conditions, they would fill their departments with meritorious men of both parties, or with Republicans regardless of merit, and whether, as heads of departments, they believed that they were better qualified than anybody to select clerks. To tiie first question tho general responso was that they had not been inoflice long enough to form a judgment. To the second, Secretary Noble replied: "I don't think many Democrats have been appointed to ollico by me so far." Secretary Windom said that if the selection rested with him candidates for office would be chosen on their merits. Secretary Proctor said: "Of course the first consideration would be the proper transaction of . public business. 1 have had no reason in my administration to find fault with the operation of the law. I am a believer in the principle of civil-service reorm, but, like all new things, it is probably not yet perfect." In response to the third question, the members of tho Cabinet stated that they were glad to be relieved of the necessity of selecting clerks as thejr were too busy with other matters to give it tho attention it would require. MINOR MATTERS. Fewer Mall Depredations Committed and Fewer Complaints This Year. GpecUl to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Aug. 4. James Maynard has been chief clerk of the mails depredation division of the Postofiice Department for eight years past. He has followed the work of his office carefully during that time. The number of depredations varies from year to year," he said yesterday. "A perusal of the records of the office will show, however, that while there was one piece of mail lost in 16S3 in every 15.000 that were handled, the past year reduced the number lost to one in every 87,000. The number of complaints during last vear were hut a little more than hvo hundred in excess of the Pa me period live years previously, while, of coarse, the business of the department increased grtutly in excess of that."

The Shooting of Green Case by Perry Snow at Shoals Proves a Murder. Daring Assault at Marshall The Alarming Flax Epidemic Increasing Miscellaneous News from Two States. INDIANADeath of Green IS. Case, the Victim of Ferry Snow's Pistol at Shoals. Execll to the Indianapolis Journal. Shoals, Aug. 4. Green 13. Case, who was shot on Thursday night by Perry Snow, has died. The difficulty, in part, grew out of an old feud, existing for tho last ten years between tho parties. Snow had a difficulty with other parties about two weeks ago, which culminated in his being indicted for shooting with intent to kill, and also being required to give bond to keep the peace. In this latter difficulty Slow was led to believe that Case was taking part against him, and only by the interference of friends they were prevented from coming together a few days ago. On Thursday night they met, apparently by accident, near the waiting-room door of the O. Jc M. railroad depot, when both passed inside, Snow going in first, followed by Case. Three shots were heard by parties on the outside, but who tired them is not positively known. Case was shot through tho body, and the clothing of Snow was pierced by a bullet. Snow will try to prove the killing wan in self-defense. The coroner holds that Case came to his death by a pistol-shot discharged by Perry Snow. Two warrants are out, but Snow has not been I arrested at this writing. Sad Results of a Runaway. gjrlal to the Indianapolis Journal. Colfax, Aug. 4. Mrs. Clift, mother of W. X.

A DAEING TRAIN BOBBERY

Two Jlen Hold Up the Passengers of a Wabash Train Just Out of Kansas City, Desperate Strule with the Conductor A Robbery That Would Have Done Credit to Jesse James and His Gang. ' Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 4. "Hold up your hands!" Such was the command that astonished tho passengers in the St Paul sleeper attached to the rear of the Wabash Western express as it pulled out of Harlem, just across the Missouri river from this city, at 80 o'clock last evening. The command was spoken by one of the two men whose faces were concealed behind handkerchiefs, who had entered the rear of tho coach. The passengers turned to ascertain the source of the command and looked into tho threatening muzzles of two reyolvers. Hands wont up. The cautionary words that followed were not necessary: Tho first one that offers resistance will be shot down by our man on the platform." There was no man on the platform, but tho pas sengers submitted as quietly as if there had been a legion. Thcrewere seven people in the coach, five passengers, the sleeping-car conductor and the porter. Of tho passengers one was a lady. At the first command her face blanched with fear, her hand went up for a moment, then fell lifelessly in to her lap. She had fainted. 'I guess they wont bother us," remarked one of the robbers, and satis fied that no resistance would be offered, they commenced their wort of plunder. One man "went through" the passengers, one by one, vrhile the other, with his re volver in his extended arm. kept a watch ful lookout for signs of opposition. In this way the plunderers secured all tho booty they could in their haste, and when it was all over and the robbers had escaped tho passengeis found they had been relieved of 175 in cash and twq gold watches. The Wabash Western train left Kansas City at 8:20 last night. It was composed of the baggage, express and smoking cars, one day coach, two Mann boudoir cars and one Pullman car. Tho latter car was tho St. Paul sleeper, where the robbers commenced their work. When tho train reached the Missouri river bridge two men were seen to get off the forward end of tho baggage car and disappear behind a lumber pile. The train hands thought they were tramps who had stolen a ride from Kansas City, and paid'no attention to the incident. They aro couvinced now that they were the robbers, and that they caught the rear end of the last sleeper, as it passed the lumber pile. Just as the train pulled out of Harlem the robbers entered the carand "went through" the passengers as described. It was evidently the intention to rob the passengers in all the coaches, "working" tho train from the rear, for as they left the St. Paul (deeper they again cautioned its occupants to not give tho alarm under penalty of beiug fchot by "tho man on tho platform." Leaving the St. I'aul coach they started for the next ono ahead. On the platform they met tho conductor of the train, John ltoach. Ono of the robbers pushed his revolver under the conductor's nose, and, with an oath, ordered him to hold up his hands. The conductor supposed from the nature of their disguises that a number of railroad men who had taken passage on tho traiu were playing a practical joke on him, and, with a laugh, he attempted to push past them and enter the sleeper. Just then a gust of wind swept aside the masks of the robbers, and then he knew that the affair was one of dead earnest. He had no weapon, but he carried his lantern in his hand, and with that he dealt one of the men a vicious blow on the head, smashing the lautem-fflass and extinguishing the light. Simultaneously with his assault the other robber lired a shot at him from his revolver. The aim was had and the bullet missed its mark. The first robber had by this time recovered himself, and he ton took a shot at the conductor. His aim was no more precise than his partner's. The robben then, with onemore parting shot swuug off from the steps of the car. As they did so the conductor hurled his lantern after them, determined to have "last tag" on them. The traiu was running at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour too fast for any one, except under desperate chances, to jump off without endangering his life and conductor Koach did not attempt it. He swung out beyond the side of the ear, however, and saw the robbers arise and makevith all haste for the dirt road that leads to Kausas City. That was the last seen of them. In tho meantime the passengers in the St. Paul coach had been so completely terrorized that they did not regain their senses until they heard the tiriufr on tho platform. Then one of them pulled the cord that connects with tho air-brako and tho train came to a stand-still. By this time the train had run a mile beyond the place where the robbers had escaped. W. II. Ponnell, special detective of the road, was a passenger in the smoking car. When the train came to a sudden stop he rushed out to ascertain the cause. Learning from the conductor of the occurrence of the robbery, he immediately set to work to begin the chase for the robbers. He ordered tho engineer to run the train to Randolph, a few miles ahead, and thero ho uncoupled the engine and ran it back to Harlem, There he found Deputy Sheriff Tomlinson. Guards were stationed at tho approaches of the bridge to prevent tho robbers' entrance into Kansas City, and two posses were organized to scour the country lor the fugitives. Special Agent Toralinsou then walked back to Kansas City, arriving here at 2:3( this morn iug, and reported tho case to the police, who are keeping a lookout in tho city for the road a gents. The police of tho neighboring towns have also been asked to arrest anyone answering the description of tho robbers. Tho robbers are described as rather youthful, not over twenty or twenty-three years of age, of slight build and dressed something like laruier boys. No one saw their fnees except the conductor, and by the dim light of his lantern ho received no definite impression of their feature. Sheriff Tomlinson's posse returned this morning, after an almost fruitless search for tho robbers. They succeeded in tracing tho men to a farm-house on tho dirt road, where it is known they stole a horbe from a farmer named Evans. It is supposed they forced tne horse to carry douhle. Tho tracks of the animal were traced to a bend in the river, where foot-prints in the sand showed that two men had probably dismounted. At this point all trace of the bandits was lost. It is very likely they crossed the river and boarded a train for Leavenworth on the Kansas City fc Northwestern road, and escaped by that mean9 to Leavenworth, and then to some point in Nebraska. Until to-nirht the names of none of the passengers in the St. Paul car were known, no record having been kept of them at the l'ullman ornee. 1 wo 01 tho passengers were Air. and Airs. Charles 1. l)euhani, of this city. Mr. Dcnham telecranhed to a business associate hero that he and his wife were among the losers by tho outlaws' raid, and askiug for money. The train was the regular JSt. L.ouis express, and the St. Paul car was carried only as far as Moberly, where it was switched on to the St. Paul train. Kansas City people aro becinninff to wonder if the days of Jesse James have not come asrain. Two robberies which would have done him credit in his palmiest days havo occurred recently. One was the train robbery of last nisrbt; the other was the theft of a handful of diamonds from a jewelry store in broad daylight, the keeping at bay. at the muzzle of a revolver, of the purfeuiuc crowd, and tho escape of the thief. Whether the two crimes have any connec tion in their principals or not, is a question. They both were extraordinarily bom ana very successful. St. Louis. Aug. 4.In an interview tonight conduceor Keach said: MVo left Kansas City last night at 8:20, and this trouble must have occurred about 8:45, as nearly as I can judge. To tell you tho

truth, I was so badly frightened that I don't know much about it. Any way. just

after leaving Kansas City I started to go through tho tram to collect my fares. and just after 1assing liarlem I did my work in the St. -ouis sleeper and started for tho rear door on my way to the St. Paul coach, intending to take up the fares in that and the Des Moiues sleeper, which we always bring out of Kansas City on that tram and leave at Moberly, where they are picked and sent north. When I reached the door and opened it I was met by two men who had their faces covered by bandanna handkerchiefs, and each one covered me with a cocked revolver. One of them stood on the platform of tho St. Paul coach, facing me, and the other stood a little to tho right of tho door on the platform of the St, Louis sleeper, and as I opened the door the one nearest me said, 'Hold upyour hands!' "I thought that a couple of the boys were putting up a little game on me just for the fun of the thing, and I laughed and made some joking reply. Quick as a flash the fellow shoved the muzzle of his gun into my face and said in an ugly tone of voice: Hold up your hands, you , or I'll blow the whole top of your head off.' I did not fancy that kind of talk, and without stopping to consider I let hira have it with my lamp. The remainder of the story haa.been told. I believe the robbers were novices, but I also believe they shot to kill." THE NICARAGUA CANAL. How the Enterprise Will Be Cared for Out line of the Work and Hopes of the Uailders. Greytowx, Nicaragua, July 18. This hitherto dull little town, destined to be the Atlantic port of tho Nicaragua canal, is rapidly awakening into new life, and is already blossoming out as tho scene of considerable activity. The "terrible example" set by the Panama fiasco has been a most useful lesson and guide for the American Canal Company. All the errors into which the French company fell have been avoided by the American canal managers, and it may be said that every dollar squandered by the DeLesseps syndicate has been a dollar saved to the American company. Sickness, starvation, dissipation and despair marked the route projected by the financiers of Paris; out health, plenty of food, decency and quiet energy are the characteristics of the American engineers and their assistauts. The Panama people paid their employes so much a month, and allowed them to "find themselves," that is, provide their own food; but the hard-worked laborers generally neglected to supply themselves with solid food, and, on the other hand, indulged continually aud disastrously in strong drink. The result was much sickness, little work and a terribly long death list. The American company, on tho other baud, pays as high wages, if not higher, than the French company, and in addition. supplies all its employes, even the Jamaican and otner coiorea iau wholesome direct from the best markets. Good hard-tack (ship's biscuit), rice, bacon, fresh meat, vegetables and cofiee are served out to all the American camps, and as the work expands all the Buttlers' stores along the line of the canal, from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, will be under tho company's control and strict supervision, the goods sold being charged for at cost price only, so that the company's employes will get boots, bhoes, shirts, stockings, tobacco, clears, and also other luxuries of a nature akin to the two last mentioned articles, at tho same rate that they can in New York. The company's idea in this connection is to keep up the morale of the men and let them have a decent pro lit left when their monthly wattes aro paid. This plan has worked admirably up to the present moment. In still another respect is the American Canal Company's policy different from that of tho Panama people. Kverything it is possible to do for tho health of its emyloycs is being done, and still further efforts are being made in this direction. Portable buildings of all descriptions aro being continually shipped from New York to Greytown, and the engineers and mechanics will soon be practically as well housed in Greytown as they would be while at work in any part of the United States. Over an immense store-house will be tho quarters for one hundred engineers. Added to thjs building will bo a billiard-room, readingroom and library. Oilicers of higher rank are quartered in an other handsome buildiug, containing sixteen rooms, while the headquarters of Chief 4 Engineer Menocal will bo in as pretty a frame cottage as you could find at Seabrightor Long liraueh. Kecognizing the fact that pure water is the source of good health, the Greytown engineers of toe Nicaragua Canal Construction Company have just received orders to survey aud lay out the ground and plant for two largo water reservoirs. Fifteen miles of steel water-piping will convey an abundant Mipply of perfectly .pure water from the Deseado basin to Greytown. Thus, so soon as the jetty and waives aro completed ocean steamships will be able to "water" at the company's dock. Tho town of Greytown, otherwise San Juan del Norte, will also receive its water supply through the canal company's pipes. It is reported in Greytown that the canal company is figuring upon a line of three American steamships which iua3r bo established between Greytown and New York, and San Francisco and Brito, ono of these steamers to bo devoted to carrying stores and machinery for the company's use between San Francisco nnd Urito, for the construction of the Pacific harbor of the canal, and the other "two to perform like service for the company between New York and Greytown. Property about Greytown, Fort San Carlos and Brito, all along tho lino of the canal route, in fact, is rapidly advancing in value. Some contractors from San Francisco and Chicago aro announced to bo coming this way; several from New York are still figuring here, and it is expected that by Jan. 1 tho San Francisco construction party will begin stirring up the mud at Urito, while tho New York constiuction parties will be digging their way toward Lako Nicaragua from the Atlantic side, for it is now said to be the plan of the Nicaragua Canal Company to attack tho isthmian problem from two sides, the Atlantic and tho Pacific, at onco. If this plan is actually decided upon (and wo shall know the truth in this connection upon the arrival at Greytown of Chief Engineer Mcno cal). tho Nicaragua canal will be open to navigation in a mnch shorter time than at first contemplated, whilo inside of say two years and a half the grand fresh water bosoin of Lako Nicaragua, draiuing a water shed of 8.000 square miles, will be thrown open to tho world, and, say in about two and a half years more, or in 1KH or 15395, tho whole canal will be ready for lit siness. Ab a rendezvous for au Aiaertcau Ueet and as a coaling ttation aud dock-yard for American inn-of-war. lake Nicaragua will form au immensely advantageous adtlitiou to tho war power of tho United States, for a fleet there assembled could coal, provisiou and repair, and swoop east or west, strike north or south, and have a safe refuge, should such a safeguard be needed. Thus it will readily be seen that it must be distinctly understood at the start that tho Nicaragua canal is an American institution, and that the growth of the strength of our navy keers pace with the growth of the Nicaragua canal, even without increasing the number of ships. This conclusion is arrived at from tho fact that our Atlantic fleet, at a few hours' notice, could reinforce the Pacific fleet, or visa versa, while even a small squadron anchored in Lako Nicaragua would be extra useful from the fact that it could strike sudden and unexpected blows cither in the Atlantic or the Pacific at a moment's notice. Work ou the telegraph line, railway route, buildings,, and preparations for tho jettj' construction continues, but in view of the fact that this gigantic enterprise will take about five years to bringit to a successful termination, it is not to be expected that each mail will bear news of some great obstacle overcome, when nearly a year of installation work is needed, btoidy, strong and sure blows are now beinir ncait at tne secret of the strait," and it is perhaps needless to add the company is made up of good American 'git thar'' material, warranted not to shrink under any circumstances.

Philadelphia Record. "This wholesale condemnation of a remedy before it nas been piven a fair trial is unworthy of a scientific age." said Dr. J. vV llliam Giles yesterday in reference to the attacks that have been cinde from professional quarters on the Brown-6cquard elixir of life and its hypodermic injection into the human body. It is the duty of physicians to experiment for themselves and test the truth of the Paris doctor's , theory, and I, for one, intend to make such tests. ' There are several other physicians who are equally earnest in their desire to fully establish the fact of Dr. Drown-Sequard-a rejuvenating elixir, and who propose to satisfy themselves, if not their fellowpractitioners, by the injection of a fluid decocted from the delicate parts of healthy animals into some of their aged and decrepit patients. Despite the ridicule that has been cast npon the Parisian physiologist, he is not without his ardent supporters in this city. His fame and the alleged success of his own and Dr. Variot-'s experiments have led a number of physicians to take his side in the contest. Dr. John V. Shoemaker is particularly severe on these premature critics. "They call his method a fraud, do thevf" . he said yesterday. "They eay that Dr. ' lirown-Sequard is in his dot ace, and is too 'old to know black from white. WelL called on him in Paris last summer, and I know that his mind was then most keen and vigorous, lie is one of the leading scientists of the world, and in this new idea his reasoning has been strong, solid and substantial. All the talk about au elixir of life and a fountain of youth is mere sensationalism. It never came from Dr. Brown-equard, and I don't believe that his critics have ever read what ho himself has written about his experinipntt 11a ia cava n ix?- xirr TvAnv-a n f 1 anil ho declares that after several injections he was able to perform tasks that he had been unable to do for fifteen years, but ho goes on to eay that his state of weakness returned at the end of five weeks, and he lays 110 claim to having discovered a marvelous cure. The fluid nourishes tho patient's system for a time, but must bo frequently renewed in ord r to sustain the buoyantsensation. Ifanold nwhoislackjng m vital fluid should hav. somo pumped into him, it is reasonab' to lndievo that he would become, for tho time, a new man, and herein lies the rejuvenation. Whether the discovery will be of great scientific value it is hard to say, but it will at least be considered of much importance." Dr. Ernest La Place, who has recently come to this city to fill the chair of pathology in the Medico-Chirurgical College, is another supporter of Dr. Urown-Sequard. He is himself a Parisian, and has for some years been quite intimately associated with that scientist. "I would like to experiment for myself along tho same lines," ho said yesterday, "and I would do 60 with reasonable expectatiou of success. Tho theory is not to be despised, and surely its discoverer is not to be. He is without doubt tho foremost physiologist in tho world, and his words ami thoughts arc not those of a worn-out veteran. Doth for tho sake of the theory and its author I expect great results." "The criticism that Dr. Drown-Sequard is not a practititioner. and. therefore, a vain theorist, is twaddle," commented Dr. Kdward O. Shakespeare. "No mero practitioner could havo ever mado cuch a discovery; it must havo come from a deep student, who is much at his books and in his laboratory. Dr. Drown-iiequard has been an eminent authority for many j-ears. I used to hear his opinion quoted as authoritative when I was a medical student, aud it astonishes mo now to hear his inferiors laughing him t.o 6corn. We can't atl'ord to hoot at scientists in thesodays of the telegraph and graphophone." Drown-Sequard'a Pedigree. rhllAflelphla Record. .
