Humors that Russia would intervene have spurred the Chinese government to take active measures to supVres tho revolt. The Times correspondent at Paris confirms tbe report that the French government is anting tbe powers to take combined action against China. Tho Standard's Paris correspondent says he hears that the United States government will be urged to take part in the movement against China. lie adds that it will be a difficult matter to determine the ground upon which the various countries may act in accord, as some of the powers are averse to taking &uy step likely to weaken Chinese prestige. lie ported Naval SklrmUh.

Russian "Koolaks" Killed by Starving Peasant for Acts or Extortion, fjeclsl to the Indianapolis Journal. St. Petersburg, Dec 1. Advices from Samarca state that tho peasantry, driven to desperation by the extortions of the 'koolaks," as the native usurers are called, have killed a number of them and robbed their dwellings of money and valuables wrung from the starving country people. In one Samarca Tillage a koolak, known for his grasping disposition, had come into possession, since the beginning of the Ismine, of nearly all the jewelry worn as heirlooms by the women of the neighborhood. His hf was spared on surrendering the Dledges. The koolaks are known to be in many cases in collusion with the officials, who aid them in extorting their exorbitant interest. One effect of tbe famine, 'however, ban been to make the Kussiau peasant reckless of the profound rrwpect wiiich authority in ltussia has heretofore commanded, and several local officials are among the victims of recent outbreaks. CARNOT TOO EENIENT. Taken to Task for Pardoning French Rioters The Ilourgeois Alarmed, gpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal Pahis, Dec. 1. The pardon by President Carnot of the Pas de Calais miners convicted for taking part in tho recent riots has created a feeling cf decided uneasiness among the Bourgeois class, by whom the leniency of Carnot is regarded as an incitement to strikes and violence. The government received firm support in its rigorous treatment of the Socialist agitators, in last May, and surprise is expressed that a different course should now be pursued. The grant to enable the miners to purchase a mine on the cooperative plan is looked upon as a return to the socialistic principle of government workshops for the unemployed, which was tried without success in every French revolution. It is said that President Carnot only consented to pardon the miners ou receiving n personal pledge from Deputies in whom he placed confidence that there would be no more lawlessness at Lens. But this explanation in not satisfactory to the Bourgeois, who begin to see visions of strikes and mob disorder, prompted by Carnot's act cf clemency. It is also reported that the government had information of an intended strike that -would extend to all the coal fields in France unless the imprisoned miners should be re-' leased. WANTS TO PROVE HE 19 SANE. Germany's Emperor May Invite Medical Expert to Examine Ills Mental Condition. Precial to the Indianapolis Journal. Berlin. Deo. 1. The Kaiser, it is rumored, has seriously spoken of submitting himself to a medical examination as to his sanity, in order to offer a conclusive refutation to the critics in France and England who have been throwing out hints reflecting upon it. Should the Kaiser conclude to take the step, leading experts would be invited from England, and. perhaps, from Italy. Austria and Sweden, who would make a thorough examination and a complete rtfpoit upon the cerebral condition of the illustrious patient. Whatever may bo the foundation for the miner, it is certain that the Kaiser's mental condition is a subject of general ckscussion. or rather insinuation, and it is believed that the current gossip cannot have failed, in 6ome form, to reach the Kaisers ears. TERRIBLE ACT OF REVENGE. Dismissed Employe Deliberately Canses as Railway Collision and Loti of Life, Berne, Dec. 1. A terrible accident happened to-day owing to the uncontrollable passion of a man who so allowed his temper to overmaster him that he became a veritable raaniao and willfully sacrificed the lives of two of his fellow-workmen and a number of other persons. The news of the affair, as received here, is to the effect that an engineer employed on the railWay line running between Aargu, a canton of Switzerland, and Waldsbut, a town of D.tden, on the Rhine, had committed some infraction of the rules of the road, and after an examination into the matter by tbe officials of the company, he was notified of his dismissal from the service. When informed of the action of his superiors the engineer became infuriated. Watching for a favorable opportnnitv. the engineer entered tho cab of a locomotive, and, opening the throttle of tbe engino as wide as possible, he jumped from thecnb and let the locomotive dash down the track at full speed just as a train loaded with passengers came rushing from the opposite direction on the same track. The runaway locomotive and the locomotive I the passenger train plunged into each

other with awfnl force, both engines being entirely wrecked, and tilling the track with a mass of debris. The engineer aud fireman of tbe passenger train had no warning of the terrible fate in store for tbein. and were only aware of their groatdanger when toolate to make any effort to save their lives. Both men" were caught in the wrecks of the engines, and were instantly killed. The passengers on tbe train were lluug in all directions by the terrible shock of the collision. Threo of them were fatally injured, and nearly all the others, in addition to the awful fright into which they were thrown, suffered from 'wounds of a more or less serious nature. The greatest excitement wascaused by the accident C3ENERAX, FOREIGN NEWS.

The Kalaer Greatly Enraged at Socialist Rebel's Hold Speech In the Reichstag. Ereclal to the Ifrfi&napo'LA Journat. Beklix, Dec. 1. The Kaiser is said to meditate a step of severity against tho Socialists. If he can be assured of a majority in the Reichstag the old Socialist law will be revived, and in any case the police have been instructed to enforce existing laws and regulations with special rigor against Socialist agitation. It is reported that tho Kaiser has been in a condition borderingon frenzy ever since Herr Bebel's bold speech in the Reichstag, but ho does not know how or whero to strike. He considers tho speech a direct challenge to his omnipotence, and not to be passed without some signal retribution, but even the Kaiser Instates to take any step that might arouse general hostility to the throne in the Reichstag. The publication of Hcrr Bobel's criticisms on the Kaiser has created a sensation throughout Germany, and it is said that in some parts of Prussia the local authorities assumed to snppress the sale of papers containing the report. Jesuit Priest Rebuked. Paius, Dec. 1. Many of tho French newspapers have published editorials nrging the government to demand of the Vatican tho deposition of the Archbishop of Air, both on account of the nature of his letter toM. Fallieres and for his course of action and utterances since he was tried, convicted and fined for sending tbe letter. A dispatch from Bavonne, in the Department of Basses-Pyrenees, states that quite a sensation was caused in tho cathedral there by the language used by a Jesuit father, who was preaching, and by the rebuke administered to him by the Bishop of Bayonne. It appears that during the priest's remarks he took occasion to refer to tbo conduct of tbe Archbishop of Aix, which led to his trial and condemnation, and declared that the Pope approved of the Archbishop's conduct where he came into conllict with the government. At this point the Bishop of Bayonne. who was seated upon his tbrono at the altar, arose and publicly rebuked tbe Jesuit for his utterances. The Bishop said that he himself knew that the Pope had ordered the clergy to abstain from political discussions. The Budget Made Too Good a Showing;. Rome, Dec 1. The Ministry's announcement of a surplus, provided Parliament votes the taxes, has been received in a way tbe Ministry did not anticipate. There is a general clamor, both in Parliament and out, to get rid of tbe surplus by removing one or other of the more odious forms of taxation, with which the Italians of every class are gronnd down. The most odious in popular estimation Is the tax on prolits, which eats up intended dividends, aud discourages commercial enterprise. The Ministry is not prepared to consent to any new arrangement of the tax list that will diminish the income, and is said to regret now having put forward such a roseate budget. Rev. Spurgeon'a Recovery Slow. London, Dec. 1. Mr. Charles II. Spurgeon, the noted preacher of the Tabernacle, in this city, who has been seriously sick for a number ot months, and who left this city forMcntone, Italy, in October, for the purpose of recruiting his health, has written a letter to a friend here describing his present condition. In this letter Mr. bporgeon says: "My progress toward re covery is paintnliy slow, i am tossed np aud down in the waves of disease. I am so weak sometimes that I am ntterlv prostrated. My symptoms are the same as when I was at home. I shall recover, however, for this is the tenor of the prayers which God has so far answered, but there are no signs of rapid progress." Goschen's New Financial Scheme. London, Dec. H Right Hon. George J. Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer, disclosed his scheme for increasing tho reserves to some leading bankers yesterday, as a prelude to the speech which be will doliver on the subject in the Chamber of Commerce to-day. It is reported that Mr. Goschen favors an issue of one-pound notes to replace light gold, the issue to be based ou a reserve partly of gold and partly of consols. It is estimated that the light gold in circulation amounts to 25,000,000. but only 5.000,000 in notes will be issued as the first installment. Tho rise in consols yesterday was due to rumors to the eflect above mentioned. Woman Arrested for Conspiracy. City of Mexico, Dec.J. A lotter from Salvador says that the wife of Dr. Jacinto Castellanos, formerly minister at Washington, and a number of others have been arrested, charged with being implicated in a conspiracy to declare Castellanos President of Salvador. It is also stated that Castellanos is now at Costa Rica. It is reported that in an interview President Rzeta, of Salvador, said: "These conspiracies aro tritles." Cable Notes.

The final services over the remains of Lord Lytton, tho British embassador to France, were held yesterday at the family residence. Knebworth Park, Stevenage, Herefordshire. England. In the lower house of the Austrian Reichsrath, yesterday, the Minister of Commerce announced that, in spite of the commercial policy of the United States, the Austrian government had decided to take part officially in the Chicago world's fair. A meeting of those engaged in the tinplate industry, held at Swansea, adopted a resolution enabling lirms to act independently in regard to the stoppage or reduction of supplies. The result will probably be that the larger lirms will continue their work. The price of black bread at St. Petersburg has doubled within a week. It is reported that the reduction of the bread rations among tbe Russian troops has caused intense discontent in the army, bread being the chief article of diet of the soldiers. Minister Lnzatti stated in the Italian Chamber of Deputies yesterday that the past commercial policy of Italy has been a mistake. This statement created a decided sonsaticn. as it was considered a blow at the protective policy, of which Luzatti had been a champion. Hundreds of women are engaged in Spandau rolling paper for cartridges. This wor& has hitherto been done in prisons, but that source of supply is not sufficient to meet tb present pressure of work in the royal arsenal. The gun-casing department is working night and day. Possible Strike on the Southern Pacific. Houston. Tex., Dee. 1. Last night the members of the grievance committee of railroad employes of the Southern Pacilio railway and Chief Conductor E. E. Clarke and C. E. Wilkinson, of the Order of Trainmen, had a conference with the officials of the Southern Pacific on the demand for an increase of wages, but they came to no agreement, and it looks as though a strike might result. Arizona voted on tbe question of anew Constitution yesterday. The returns last night show that more than four-tif tbs of the votes are for the Constitution. Tho Constitution will bo adopted by 3,000.

LOOTED THE EXPBESS CAR

Twonty to Fifty Thousand Dollars Secured by Train Robbers Monday Xinht Doors Demolished with Dynamite and the Jlessencer Injured Trainmen and Passengers Terrorized by a Reckless Shooting. St. Louis, Dec. 1. A bold and successful train robbery tools place on the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad, near Glendale station, about ten miles from this city. shortly before 9 o'clock last night. Tho robbers had their plans well laid, and they escaped with money and valuables amountins, perhaps, to SCO. 000. possibly more. The Adams Express Company was the victim, and from the manner in which the robbers did the job it is evident that their plan was to make a clean sweep of the express car. They used dynamite with fearful ciFect both on the car and messenger, J. T. Mulrenen. who had charge of the car. Six men participate in the robbery. When the train reached Old Orchard it is supposed that four men boarded the express car, two of them climbing the front platform and two the rear. The other two, it is believed, boarded the train at Glendale. Shortly alter the train left Glendale two men silently made their way over tbe heaps of coal in the tender towards tbe enginecab. Aa soou as they secured a good footing they opened the heavy buck shield, which docs duty as a door during tho cold season, and, placing revolvers at the heads of the engineer and fireman, with a stern voice said: "Hold up your hands." When this order was obeyed, the spokesman once more, speaking iirmly, said to engineer Wagner: "Stoz tho train," and the engineer complied with alacrity. As soon as the train came to a stand-still tbo robber-chief commanded the engineer and fireman to "turn about face and march oil the cab.'1 one of the bandits having meantime dismounted and stood guard at the side of the engine. The engineer and fireman were then taken to the express car. In the meantime tbe expressniessenger, who suspected that something was wrong, had closed and bolted tho doors of the car and stood inside ready to defend the property intrusted to his care. But the odds were against him, aud the poor fellow now lies in a dangerous condition at North Springfield. W hen tho two robbers had piloted the engineer and lireman to the ear they placed them under guard and commenced, first b3r persuasive means, to induce messenger Mulrenen to open tbe door ot tho car. But tlx latter was obdurate. He would sell hi -.he said, before opening the door and; ve tho car to the mercy of the would-bo iooters. The chief of the baud, seeing that coaxing did no good, commanded his lieutenants to demolish the car door which stood between them and the coveted prize. The new mode of attack, dynamite, was employed. BLOWN orEX WITH DYNAMITE. A stick of the deadly explosive was placed against the car, and the fuso lighted. In a quarter of a minute a loud "bang" reverberated through the surrounding woods, and Dr. Higgins, who lives but a short distance from the scene of the robbery, was aroused from his slumbers, and thought an earthquake was on. He was undeceived, however, for in a minuto another stick was exploded at the car door, andtheliying splinters iudicated that the dynamite had performed its mission. As the door fell in the robbers entered tbe car, and. taking the keya from the messenger, soon had tho safe open. Everything in the safe was taken, and also the inessener's gold watch and chain. Estimates as to tho amounts secured vary widely, ranging from 20,000 to 80.000, but nothing definite is yet known on this point. Superintendent Damsel, of the Express company, says it will bo several days before the exact amount can be ascertained. While two of the robbers were doing the work at the express car, the other four bandits kept the trainmen and passengers in a 6tateof terror, a constant fusillade being kept up all the while. A more reckless set of robbers probably never undertook similar work. Fourteen shots were tired into tho smoking car. but, fortunately, none of its inmates was hurt. Dr. Higgins, mentioned above, said that after he heard the explosion, he suspected that a robbery was being attempted, and feared to venture out. He heard some one in his front yard, but cannot say who it was. On the south side ot tho track, about 150 yards from where the robbery occurred, is a wagon road running through a strip of wood. Along this road the detective who went to the scene last night found the fresh tracks of a horse and wagon comiug toward St. Louis. The railroad officials believe that one of the robbers is a railroad man, as he is said to have instructed tho lireman to not put any more coal in the furnace. Tho only description of tho robbers obtained is of the two that climbed into the engino. Oco of them was a young man, tall, light complexion and heavy mustache. The other had a dark complexion, dark clothing, about live feet six inches high, a sinister-looting eye, very quick in motion, and both wore light overcoats. The first rumors that the postal car had also been denuded are erroneous, as authentic reports say that only the express car was attacked. Express messenger Mulrenen is Raid to have been seriously injured in the hip by the explosion and battered abont the bead by the butt ends of rovolvers in the bauds of the robbers. A large posse is making a search for the bandits, and the city officers are straining every nervo to uncover the hiding place of the outlaws. Nothing is yet definitely known as to how much money was stolen by the robbers. Manager Damsel, of the Adams Express Company, was seen this afternoon, and said that while he know nothing definite as to tho amount of money and valuables secured, be was sure that the amount exceeded $30,000. At tbe railroad office it was stated that tho amount was about 875,000. Dispatches received from Monette. Mo., state that the conductor, engineer and fireman, in an interview confirm the account of tbe robbery sent in these dispatches. The robbers performed their work bo effectually And covered their tracks so well that there is not the slightest clew to their identity or their whereabouts. About five years ago a train was held up and robbed at about tho same place, near Glendale. m s CLOSE OP THE JUBILEE. Celebration in Honor of Archbishop Eenrick Concludes with Two Concerts.

He concluded by saying: "Let ns all pray tonight that when his labors are completed ho may receive the crown of everlasting life." The audience then dispersed. This virtually closes the jnbileo ceremonies, the remainder of the programme being tagen up by receptions to visiting prelates. CONVENT ANNEX BURNED.

UNDOUBTEDLY CRAZY. Sach Is the Opinion of Assignee Gould of EdWard M. Field, the Failed Broker. New York, Dec, 1. Assignee Gould, in discussing the affairs of Field. Lindley. Weichers & Co., to-day, said: "I am somewhat encouraged to find that things are actually looking brighter in some respocts. The fact that there are no large creditors appeaf ing with claims, or that no one in Wall street has been nipped, leads me to believe that the only great sufferers are the members of tbe firm who have been victimized by Mr. Field. I am particularly sorry for Mr. Weichers, whom I consider as honest a young man as I ever met. The fact is, he has been robbed." "Have you found out how things standi" was asked. "'o. I have been to the bottom of tho whole thing, but am still in the dark, and am unable to account for tbedisappearance of the capital. Mr. Edward M. Field is the most plausible person I ever met. He has always told me tbe most plausible stories. . and even when they were absolutely absurd they were told in a manner that made ono believe that the speaker was perfectly bouest in his statements. Only two anya beiore tbe assignment was made I talked with Mr. Field, and he rattled oil' a list of the assets of tbe firm showing that they were worm over suuo.uuu. lie is undoubtedly crazy." Deputy sheriffs are watching the house of Cyrus V. Field, expecting that E. M. Field, of the defunct firm, will bo summoned to the bedsido of bis father, when thev will place him under arrest. Another man, presumably a deputy sheriO', approached tho house, abont 11 o'clock to-night, held a few minutes' hurried conversation with the deputy sheritf who was pacing to nnd fro before the house, ascended tbe stoop, rang tbe bell and was admitted.

The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and it is used in no baking powder except the "Royal." Dr. Edward G. Love, formerly analytical chemist for the U. S. Government, who made the analyses for the New York State Board of Health in their investigation of baking pow ders, says of the purity tnd wholesomeness of the 44 Royal " : " I find the Royal Baking Powder composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder, and does not contain either alum or phosphates, or other injurious substance. (Late U.S. Grit Chemist) "E. G. LOVE, Ph. D."
