Yasterday aftoraooa ordttamA. aad Robert linkrtM related to a Uaitad From reporter the true story of the search for aad capture ot IhoM oa gagad law robbery of the Adams Jtapress Messenger Ma tram af the BC Loom Ban FraaolMO railroad on October 9a. Immediately after the robbery the Fiakortoa agency of Uik city received a dispatch from the mperiatoadeat of Um Adams Xx press ia Hi. Louis, raoaUag detactirMto come immediately to that city to take charge of Um investigation into the case. Hobert Fmkerton wm detailed for the purpose aad, witk a force of oeeratires. left for St. Lent. Their first work was to secure a list of all ampwyM of the oxproM company who had mm discharged daring Um year, aad to ascertain their whereabout. One of these discharged employes named W. W. Height wm suspected of being connected witk Um robbery, aad he wm aarefully traced ap. Ha had been discharged on sp4cton of having taken valuables from express package. Haigkt wm found to have been in Chicago antll October ST, when he left ostensibly for Florida, aad a day or two later his wife had received a considerable ann of money f row him ia a letter. Fart of Um time Height wm la Chicago he had driven a wagon for Fred WlUrock, a coal aad wood dealer on Lake street, aad had also been driver for Tom Wearer, whose wife kept a laundry on West Lake street, la making Inquiries about Height ia Ckioago it was learned that Wittrock wm absent from hia place of business, baring gone with Tom Weaver, it wm stated at his place of husiaess, to ArkansM on a hunting excursion, carrying two valiM, a shotgun aad an army mnsket. The detectives were startled to Bad that Wittrock' description exactly answered that furnished by Fothringham, the express messenger, of "Jim Camming," the man who had committed tM robbery. They obtained some of the bills which Wittrock had rendered kis customers for coal aad wood furnished, aad these were taken to St. Louis aad comaarsd by an expert witk the "Jim Camming" letters wkkm had been sent to the 8C Loi Xhmwref, and it was decided that the man who had written the letters wm the name one who had written the coal bills. This matter being decided, the detectives began a hunt for Wittrock. They traced him up the Missouri River oa Um alleged hunttag excursion, and also discovered he had, with another man, occupied rooms at the house of Mrs. Berry, a respectable lady of St. Louis, for more tlum week. Upon searching the room in Mrs. Berry's house the men had occupied, a c. o. L seal wm found stamped ''Pacific Express Compeer, St Charles, Me," and two scraps of red labels, which were recognised as part of Um label ased by the Express company. Oa October m the day of the robbery, Wittrock, who went by the name ot d Williams, had left Mrs. Berry's Boom, stating he was going to Kansas Cttr. The other man had left a day or two before. Oscar Cook, formerly of Leavenworth, was at this time in Kansas City. He wm swarm friend of the Wittrock family, aad wm very fash of Money, claiming to have drawn a large sum in a lottery. He wm carefully shadowed, and wm found to be the mob whe mailed the letters to Um St. Louis QMx-Dmuxr signed "Jim Camming." " Height, who wm la XMhrille, wm also shadowed. He had gone into the roofing business and wm doiag wolL During all tab time the wherMbeam of Wittrock could aot be learned. His residence ia this city oa Lincoln street wm carefully watched, aad last Tuesday night, a mm wm seen to eater, who wm believed to be Wittrock. The house was closely guarded two days aad nights, but Wittrock did aot Move. Oa Friday, Tom Weaver enterod the bouse Md remained some tins. Towards mm Wtttroek's brother-in-law Kinney, came out of the bouse, and after looking carefully around, made a signal m if to show Wittrock the coast wm dear. A few minutes later a large man came out of the house and walked quickly toward Madison street. He wm joined by Kinney, aad the pair were followed by the detectives, who were satis fled that the large man was the loag-sougbt-f or Wittrock. The detectives succeeded by some maneuvering ia keeping Wittrock aad Kinney la sight without themselves being auspected of a shadow. The thieves having reached Xadlton street, entered a dago saloon at the corner of Lincola street. The three detectivM consulted Md agreed to make the arrest in Um mIooo. As they were talking, JCVeuey cam e eat aad went back toward Um house oa Lincoln street. The eetoeUYto dodged hack till he wm out of sight, whoa they entered the saloon. Wittrock wm la the center oi the saloon talking to a Man who was at once recognised as Um mysterious shadow. Wittrock turned suspiciously m Um detective entered, aad started for Um door. Fiakortoa wm at the cigar stand, aad m Wittrock passed be grabbed aim. The thief ran his heads into his pockets, but before he could act one of the operatives had a pistol at his breast with an order to "up hands." There was some senate, which shortly ended in both Wittrock aad hia shadow being ironed together at the bar. lathe former's pocket wore found two 44-calibre gave. Whoa asked what he wm arrested for, Um detective replied te Wittrock"For a burglary oa West Madison street," whereupon Um thief looked relieved. He said, 'Tffl a business mm, my name is Fred Wittrock, and I run a coal yard on Lake street." He had a red pocket-book with 0710. He was asked tke name of the Man Who had j net left him, aad aMwered at Oftce, "his name is Kinney aad he will prove who I am."

The Governor who wm removed to giro place to Baxter earned hi dwmbsai by siding with the land grabber oa every occasion and by attacking; the policy of lsad CommisakMier Spark in hit annual report to the President. It had keen su poMtl that Baxter wm not involved in any of the land schemM of the far Went, but hi appointment had hardly been announced when report earn Co the White House that Baxter had not only interested hintMlf in many of these enterprise, but that, in open and flagrant violation of the rrmUlent's order, he had fenced in ntaav thousand of acre of public land.

OtMOOKATfO PKNaUONINO.

To gJaerasltg Cwnptsd wHM OBf tam lWTOaRi The sound, practical view advanced by FreeidfcHt Ctevalaad ia hia meeaage on the subot of pension U in pose of the mhwt ate ment and MtiareprmanU Uons so liberally indulged in last summer by Republican Senator and mem ber of Congress and their home organ. He appeal for an open system of pensioning, which will da away with the pernk-iou poUUeal influences that now taint the noble expresstou if the Nation' gratitude toward it defender. The custom of resorting to Congress for a special pension act to override the decision of the well-organised bureau designed for the examination and con ih1 era lien of all pendon ease open the door, a the rrstUidewt stato. to the allowance of questionable claim ami present fraudulent claims in such ngttiaNdjo surrounded by sentiment and patriotio feeling taut taey are hanl to ruslst In hi vetoes of some of those claims, last summer, the lresident pointoil out in each intance the baseless chanieUtr of the claim. It i idle to spitak of the Kation's ingratitude toward the veterjins in view of the faet that it bus paid ont morn in pension for disability sustained In xerviea than ail the rest of -1 i i i r i j; the world ha paid in centum. The law protecting the pensioner ha been so carefully drawn that there can be no fear of injustice when tke law i fully carried out Under former Adminiftratious of the Pension Bureau, especially In 1834, shameless m.ausu of paer and grors partisanship perverted the patriotic Intentions of the psopl. To save vote for Mr. Blaine the law wm violate I and deserving pen-i ;ntr.-i ws-rn injured. By the political use of pension a soldier's right to a pension was made to depend upon hi service to the Hejtubliean party after the war and not upon his service in the Celd for his country. The boards of examining surgeon and the special examiner were all Republican selected with a view te their wiHiagnc to miut their power for partisan purposes. The Democratic Commissioner of Pensions has provided against this abuse by selecting impartially from both parties. The history of the Pension Bureau, under Republican management, especially in 181. is an unbroken record of partisan prostitution of the noblest of our public agencies, of danger to our free institution, of robbery of the tax payer?, degradation of the ensioner, -i insetlt to the Union veterans and d.graee to the responsible party. The relief of the disabled veteran is not an act of charity, but of jtitiee and duty on the part of the Govwrnmetit. "The President advance the sound argument that when the veterans who, having served their country long and well, are reduced to destitution, not ac au incident of their service, but with advancing age, or through sickness or misfortune, they ! and their cause are entitled to the benent of a spocial act in each case, linger such an act relief may be claimed a a right and according to law, not, as sometime happens how, in evasion of it The veterans are our fellow citixen. and are equally interested in the parage and faithful execution of wholesome laws. The charge that the Democratic Administration has been in any seme hostile to the cause of pensioner is easily disproved by the fact that more work ha been done during; the past year by the Pension Bureau, at lee oost to the' Government, than .during any previous year since the bureau wm ergaahud. AUtmny Argus. Democratic Cxtravaganc.' The second annual report of tho treasury under Democratic msnt is before the country, and it shows that the net reeejpU for the last fiscal year were 39,439tUO0, and the net expenditures 343,43,00O the receipt having been flS,749f0OO greater, and the ex pen liture ;li,74S.CM) less thaa for tbe preceding veer. There wm a decrease of f 1.900.000 in the civil expenses; 100,000 in the cost of foreign intercourse; $46,000 in tke cost of the Indian service, and similar reductions in tbe War and Nary Department, in the excuse of the D'istrict of Columbia aad in the miscellaneous expendituresThere ht only one item tlutt shows an increase, ana that t pensions to Union soldiers. Thess have increased from $5ti,10-2.rXK last yar, to t63.4OI.000. It seems then that, while Union veterans and widows are actually better taken eare of under a Democratic than under a KepHblicaii Administration, the financed of the Government have been placed In a thriftier condition than they ever were before an increased income, diminished expenditures and a laree surplttf. The downfall of the Republican party did not mark the doom of the country. It wm pretty rough on the Republican partr, but the country not only survives it, but actually thrivM under it. Si. .swt JVefwefiV. The Bight Step Taken. The President has taken the right stop concerning the outrages initio ted upon our fishermen by the Canadian Government by informing the British Government that it will assuredly be held responsible for all damages and be held to reparation not merely by the summary seixura of their vessels and the exaetkm of heavy Nnes in ad vance of hearing and jndgment. but far the curtailment of privileges to which they were justly entitled under commercial regulations.

Elsie had no mother, only a ttwing biirthert, Ihtrt, three years iter senior, ami a father, who went here and there alHHit lite fieldtJ, and took little luwl of his small six-year-ohl dautiter. One other friend she liad, a frieml who, with licr mute, untold sympathy, had stolen into a warm corner of the smnll maidon's heart, and that was the Lady Anne a most beautiful, almost lifesize, imitation of a fine lady, made up of dainty wax and furlielow, ami sent to her direct from London by Elsie's cousin Maliel. Oh! hw she loved it, but llert scoffed at it, or rather her, for this grand, titled lady wa a living, feeling thing to her wee "mamma." Ami how tunny time Patty, their one servant, had to rescue her from U Hort of perilous situation, all the work of Master liert. (hi the morning wlwn that legan Miiicli forms our sdory, alon came the tricksy lad, the Ivtly Anne in Ills ariiH, a Elite sdMMl with Patty, fetnling the fowl:. 'TJm Itdy Anne is goijiff for a sail, EliMe." .-said lie, jauntily, and hugging the dainty tiling to hhu with" boy's cimniiuw. "Oil. fche'ss not!'' crieil Elsie, with warmth; "you know tlie water never agree with Iter she'll ye son-sick." "River-sick, ym menu, old lady, but what of that? Slie'll have to get over that Cockney wrknfe. So here goes," ami the pninkiidi l)y inssel on, laughing the while over hit shoulder. lint Elsie was too quick for him; she made a dart, and romied her darling, THeiit her to her motherly little heart with half amused defiance. "Phew! I'd not be a girl, or her doll cither, for ever so much," said he, with boyish scorn. "You'll never be any thing half so good," cried Eleie, laughing in her tJeeve over her recovered treasure. "You're right there, MWh Elsie." agreed Patty. "Boys a teases little girli are never of much account" "Uncle Bert is a monster, lovie, i he not? Ami you are tired, aren't yon, after smch a fright?" So the small girl crooned over the Lady Anne, trotting; away with her to the house; ami Bert heard her words. 2fy. he stole after her with cat-like footsteiH, and saw where she laid her to sleep, as she termed it, saw her touch the magic string; which closed the realy eyes; aye, he saw it all even the tender kUw she .pressed on the lips of the sleeping beauty ami chuckled R lKjyish chuckle as lie crept away. Here ami there went Elsie, while her nurs ling ileit, and anon it was afternoon, ami site chanced to Ikj mi the outskirts of a wood at tlie bsek of her father's hotwe, full of pitfalls ami dangers to unwary feet, so it was said, rrom here emerged Master Bert, with a very comical face "I've taken the Lady Anne for change of air, dear madam," wan hin greeting to his tniiall sister. "What? Wlwsre? Who?" asked sdie, all startled and ruffled, like some ten der, timid mother dove. "Well done! three jerky questions in three words," laughed Bert. "Well, tell me, you know what I mean." cried Elsie. "W'ell, then, to question number one.
