The astt arrests over made i this part ox the couatrr wore berua at a early hour yesterday morning and before nightfall tke oMcors of the Fan-Hsndto railroad had in custody the most daring gang ef railroad robbers thU country haa ever known. How many members belong to R is aot aade public, but they run up into tka hundreds. Their stealings extended ever a period of two or three years, and the amount stele reaches fSOJ.OOOl Simultaneous arrests ware made all along Mm lino of the Pan-Handle road between hero aad Columbus, Warrants bars been ia the baada of Um oMoors for some time, aad Um persons arrested will comprise nearly the entire frelghtmea of tke Una. They include conductors, brakemen, engineers and firemen. The ringleaders of too gang outside the railroad business are known, and some of them are now under arrest. The first arrest were made about two O'clock In Mm morning, Um police surprising eighteen men at their boardinghouses. The me were take fat once to the jail. Further arrests wore made be tween two o'clock and daylight, when forty-six men, all railroad employee, con-, doctors, brakemen, firomoa and engineers were behind Um bars. In speaking of tke arrests a prominent officer of tko PanHandle road said: For three years past the Pan-Handle road has been systematically robbed. Cars en sidings and cars in' moving trains wore broken open and goods stole, ineluding every description of merchandise. It is estimated that at least f00,000 worth ef goods ware taken, for which tke company kad to pay. In August last we got a clew, and the company determined to punk tt to tke end. Detectives were employed wko followed up every scent, and finally we bad the information upon which to proceed. When everything was ready we decided to make a move all along the lino from Columbus to Pittsburgh, and two o'clock this morning was fixed to strike the blow. About eighty warrants were is sued for men in Pittsburgh. I can't tollbow many for other places, but it was at every point along the line; It will runup in the hundreds. It is the biggeet thing ef the kind that over happened in Pittsburgk or in railroad matters in Mm world, for nothing like it haa ever happened before. I can not tell who the men are under arrest or wko the ringleaders are. This muck I will sav, however, we suspect outsiders of being implicated in that rob beries, but know nothing positive." Among those arrested was a maa named Baker, against whom there are thirtyeight charges. Barly one morning some months ago at Sheridan station near this city a train was stopped for water. An attack was made on the crew sad la the ftrbt the fireman was shot. He afterwards died from his injuries. At day break it was found that two cars had been broken open and their contents stolen. Baker is accused of firing the shot that killed the fireman, and this is understood to be one of tke thirty-eight charges against him. search warrants were made out rot several bouses suspected as ''fences" in receiving and disposing of the stolen property. It is currently believe tnt much of Mm stolen goods will be re covered. The following is a partial list ef the men now in jail as a result of the raid: John Kirk wood, H. R Xuhn, C. Longneeker, W. T.

Lawnon. A BETBCTIVB'S STORT. I an interview with Detective Rue yesterday. Mm following account ef the inception of the robberies, their detoc ties, tbebmodus operandi, etc., was given, Xr. Rue said: 'Two years ago we de cided to dispense with locks on the cars, and introduced our present system ef seals. The seal is of lead, is about the sse of a five-coat piece, and is about oneeighth of a inch ia thickness. Tke wire need in connection with It ia one ot six teen th-inch iron wire. There are curls in tt to prevent Ha being pulled through tke toad seaL The aetkod or using it is as follows: Wire kt pushed through the seal, then through the hasp of the ear doors, then back through the seal again, form lag an unbroken circle An instrument tben is used in Impressing tke seals. That in use, say in ritts burgh, stamps upon the inverse side the letters B. G.,' 'T. R,' and apon the obverse side P. St. L.,' thu- indicating that Mm ear ia intact when it raters the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati A St Louis railroad bound westward. The two wire are Imbedded at the same stroke as the letters are im printed. This understood, I will give aa ktA of tke Moeption of the robbery aad Its discovery by the emends ef the road. Bs tern-bound trains w not molested. Western-bound trains have bean Mm sufferers. As near a we can estimate it these robberies have been go ing on for two years. At Irst there i timidity and they oaly occurred at toag Intervale, then daily growing bolder and more general, until Just lately every train was a sufferer. We became cognizant of the rohberles through claims sntMltted by Hew York .to Mm. road, oa the strength of their Western customer's, allegations of broken packages both in bulk and in severalty, Mm evwence in each cat being positive that the packutos wore opened in transit. Wo were puzzled long time br the robberies, ae our reports from Western point showed that the seels wore always seemingly intact. For a loag time we blamed the extract ion of goods upon Mm roustabouts at pier 27 and tl In Bew York, aad taa Dock street station at Philadelphia, as nearly all of our Western-bound freight was put In the oars at either on or the other of those three places. Wa employed detectives and all imaginable devices, and found finally that our employes at thee points were above suspicion. As I am in charge of all crookedness en our road eaet of Pittsburgh, H then bee me my duty to follow tko robberies to this city. After a most exhaustive search of the entire division af the Pennsylvania railroad p to Pitteburgk, I earn ta the 0imWm4ii Wmt ttns rr1iswirisi wh4 mMtod west of Pittsburgh.

They mad off te the esboose, and Mm conductor pulled back the door, raa Mm wire through tke seaL where it had been pulled out, and with a board struck It a blow. The wire went back to ita place, the blow united the soft lead acuta without uesu-oyiag i lettering on either side and the sesl waa apparently untouched.

Btaaetog in tka second story of Mm Executive Man sion, and looking down toward the big Washington Monument, an equally beau tiful sight met the eye, the sweeping lawns of green were crowded with sweet faced children who darted to and fro in the warm sunshine until it seemed aa though one were looking into a gigantic kaleidoscope. As half past oae o'clock, the hour of the President's pub lic reception approached, the great east room became packed witk the little ones and their guardians. While waiting for him to come in, a younrster let go his bal loon and aa it sailed up to the stuccoed ceiling, a cry of delight reverberated from wall to wall that sounded like the cheers ia a Chicago convention beard a a distance. When the President appeared a rush waa made for him that forced him to fall back several steps, despite the effort of the attendants to keep the crowd back. At tke rata of forty a minute the Itttta boys aad girls rushed by, each one barirr his hand grasped by the President. Some of the nurse girls held up crying babtf to be kissed, but the President drew tke line at osculation, aad took hold of tha tiny fingers instead.

There 'ia a scramble aaoag importers," Be said, "tafcel Mm valuations aa lowaa possible. If oae can get hi good to cheaper than kie neigbbors, be oaa undersell them. Thus there is a constant cat-tkroat ram going on that affects prices aU over the country.

There is likelr to be a tendency between you to be liberal with each other. It is assorted that merchants accommodate each other in their appraisements. We have studied the matter carefully, aad think the most Important thiag ia to secure aa uniformity of valuation. To have the valuaUo uniform m more important ovoa than to have it just We can not bare Um importer paying immens) duties en bat linings, for instance, at oa port while the importer at another port pays merely a nominal duty. All the proper relations of trade are disturbed. "We are through with our investigation now, and in a few days will haT a measure prepared, which we wilt submit to the Secretary of the Treasury for hi opialon. We were gratified yesterday, whoa Mr. Magoae, the Collector of the port of New York, was before us at th Capitol, to find that his forty years' experience witk the subject had led him to aboat Mm same eoncIusioBS we had arrived at" The Senator thus outlined th sub-committee's pta : "The measure is not fully formulated, bat our idea is to do away with merchant appraisers and to provide for the appointment of nine appraisers by the Government throe of whom will be toeatod permaneaUy in Xew York City. The other six will be I obarge of other ports, aad Kill make a uniform approvement The three appraisers at 3few York wilt aot as a sort of board of appeal, to which quest ions ia dispute will be carried.
