STUPENDOUS ROBBERY.

Interpreting the New Commerce I-aw-The Commissionors Swamped Willi Business Xhe Long ami Short Haul. The Wisconsin Central, so far from endeavoring to make the new law odious by a too rigid construction of its provisions, has decided that it should bo interpreted as liberally as possible in the interests , of the traveling public, and will continue to issue 1,000 mile tickets. The Southern Pacific managers applied to the inter-State commission for a construction of the long and short haul section, by which they- may know whether or not they can enter into com

petition-with the Suez canal for -China and Japan business, and whether or not .they can meet the competition of the Panama and Cape Horn lines for Atlantic port freights. The commissioners have decided to give a general constuction, but say that a case must be formally presented, verified by affidavit, before they can act upon it. . . The long and short haul clause has been suspended, on application of the Detroit, Grand Haven & Mil waukee railroad, for ninety days, so far as it affects Milwaukee business. The affairs of the commission are still in an utterly chaotie state. Theare organized, without rooms for worK7 and with a mass of business pouring in on them which fitts them with dismay. They do not find any of the politicians who helped pass the bill who can explain it, and they know they do not comprehend it themselves. A few days ago they were all nearly distracted, and really contemplated leaving the city, with .indefinite plans for returning. The idea in this seemed to be to travel around a while to observe, and so get time for studying the matter up, and at the same time to be relieved , from any informal decisions. The ninety-days let-up on the roads of the south postponed the first question presented to them, and now they are going through the south to gather up some practical ideas of what is wanted of them. The present situation may be summed up by saying that the commission is swamped. Minneapolis millers began Thursday shipping flour by boat to New Orleans. This is their only recourse in view of the rail rates made compulsory by the inter-State commerce law. If they can not find a market by water they must stop business. Indianapolis poultry shippers believe the new law will destroy that business. Texas Prohibition Campaign. The prohibition question is rapidly assuming the front rank among the political issues of Texas, and many Democratic leaders are active in securing the adoption of a constitutional amendment. - A "genuine sensation was produced Saturday, by the publication of an open letter from Senator John H. Reagan, in which he commits himself unequivocally in favor of the measure. Two years ago Mr. Reagan stood beside Senator Coke, Governor Ireland, Congressmen Mills and other prominent Democrats in strenuously opposing the growth of the prohibition idea, on the ground that it was a sacred principle of

the Democracy to oppose sumptuary laws of whatever character. Reagan's complete change of views on this point urprises even his nearest friends. After picturing at length the wretchedness and dishonor to be encountered . in every community resulting from the use of liquor, the Senator says: "I must express my regret that an effort has been made to make a party question of prohibition, and especially do I regret that Democrats should seek to identify that great and grand historic party with the fortunes and fate of the whisky shop drunkards and criminals." A dispatch from Dallas says: "The presence here of. several Republican leaders suggests the idea that that party will use the present contest to break, down the Democratic party. They want the prohibition question made a Democratic party issue, and the Democrats are fighting shy of this. . Ex-Iiieutenant-G overnor Barney Gibbs addressed a letter to ex-Senator Maxey asking him to come out against the prohibition amendment which is to be voted on by the people of Texas next August. Mr. Maxey's reply was made, publie Saturday. The object of Mr. Gibbs was to get Mr. Maxey to address a State anti-prohibition meeting, to be held in Dallas in May. Mr. Maxey says: "Your letter places the proposed amendment in the nature of sumptuary legislation. I do not so regard it. The State of Texas has complete power over the whole question as an integral part of the police powers of the State never granted to te general government. The police powers of the State are wholly distinct and apart from sumptuary legislation.

As the people of Texas have the lawful.

power, in the mode and manner prescribed by the constitution, to adopt or

re-enact the proposed amendment, I propose, as a Jeffersouian Democrat, to abide by what Mr. Jefferson laid down as a cardinal principle of Democracy, to-wit: Absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which there is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism." Anti-Prohibition Frauds Alleged. There is great 'excitement all over the northern Michigan peninsula oyer alleged frauds in the recent election, which place in doubt the fate of the prohibition amendments. The Ironwood authorities are reported to have sought legal advice, it being charged that voters by the hundred were imported from Wisconsin to vote against the amendment. The frauds are all alleged to have occurred in Gogebic county. That the most wholesale fraud was carTied on there seem apparent. The revised returns cut down the vote against the amendment to 8,450, allowing Bessemer nearly 1,900. If Bessemer county is thrown out, and there is no doubt of the contest, the State lias certainly carried the amendment.

A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch of Monday says: The most important arrests over made in this part of the country were begun at an early hour Monday morning, and now the oflicers of the PanHandle railroad have in custody the most daring gang of railroad robbers this country has over known. How many members belong to it is nob known, but they run up into the hundreds. Their stealings extend over a period of two or three years and the amount stolen reaches neariy half a million dollars. Simultaneous arrests were made all along the line of the Pan-Handle road between Pittsburg and Columbus. "Warrants have been in the hands of officers for some time, and the persons arrested will comprise nearly the entire freight men of the line. They include the conductors and brakemen. The ring-leaders of the gang are outside of the railroad business, but are known, and some of them are now believed to be under arrest. v The first arrests were made about 2 o'clock in the morning, the police surprising eighteen men at their boarding houses. The men were taken at once to the jail. Further arrests were made between 2 o'clock and daylight, when forty-six men, all railroad employes, were behind Ihe bars, and at night eighty men were in jail. In speaking of the arrest, a prominent officer of the Pan-Handle road said: "For three years past the Pan-Handle road has been systematically robbed. Cars on sidings and cars in moving trams were broken open and goods stolen, including every description of merchandise. It is estimated that at least $300,000 worth of goods were taken, for which the company had to pay. In August last we got a clew, and the company determined to push it to the end. Detectives were employed who followed up every scent, and finally we had the information upon which to proceed. When everything was ready, we decided to make a move all along the line from Columbus to Pittsburg, and 2 o'clock Monday morning was fixed to strike the blow. About eighty warrants were issued for men in Pittsburg, I can't tell how many for other places, but it was at every point along the line. It wTill runup in hundreds. It is the biggest thing of the kind that ever happened in Pittsburg, or in the world, for nothing like it has ever happened before. Among those arrested was a man named Baker, against whom there are thirty-eight charges. Early one .morning some months ago at Sheridan station, a train was stopped for water. An attack was made on the crew, and in the fight the fireman was shot; he afterward died of his injuries. At daybreak it was found that two cars had been broken open and their contents stolen. Baker is accused of firing the shot that killed the ftreman, and this is understood to be one of the thirty-eight charges against him. John H. Hampton, attorney for the Pennsylvania company, was seen Monday morning in the office of the detective agency, where, sitting amidst a heterogen ous collection of the plunder, he said: "These robberies have been ear

ned on systematically for several years. The'corap.my have long been aware that there was a leakage somewhere, and as early as September 1880, they quietly began investigations. Detectives were placed on trains where the goods could be watched and the thieves caught. We had already discovered that the culprits were employes of the company. In September there were eighty crews of freight trains on the Pan-Handle railroad coming into Pittsburg. Of these eighty crews no less than seventy-five were crooked. A crew consists of a conductor, flagman and two breakmen. In some cases all the men were involved; in others only part. The goods were obtained by the thieves in various ways. In many instances the seals were broken, while in others hatchets were used to cut a hole in the end of the car through wliich the men crawl and take what they coveted. Then they reported the car in bad condition, claiming that the hole had been made by accident. The operations were all the result of combinations. Arrangements were carefully made, and each rascal wras assigned to his particular part of the work in mush the same way as a bank robbery is conducted by professional cracksmen. A thing which alarmed us more than anything else, " was that they stole large quantities of whisky and drank it in the caboose. They needed vessels to hold Ihe liquor, so they stole milk cans and kept it in them. Not daring to keep whisky openly in the cars, they tore up the fleering and hid it underneath. Men were continually reported drunk on duty,and the probability of disaster was something frightful to contemplate. All kinds of goods were stolen, including sewing machines, guns,; revolvers, cutlery, silverware, cigars, clothing, liquors, groceries, furniture, and in fact every

imaginable article that can be carried on

a car, were quietly removed, The depredations were committed all along the

road and the losers reside at points as far west as Denver. Fences were

established in this city where the stolen

property was taken and then sold, the money being evenly divided among the

crews, It is impossible to give the aggregate value of the property stolen,

but it will not reach 300,000, as re

ported." ........ ,

The arrests have created the greatest excitement among the railroad employes

of Pittsburg. The scenes about the jail

Monday morning, where relatives had

gathered to learn the cause of the arrests,

were of the saddest desc ription . Wi ves,

children, parents, brothers and sisters,

with tear-stained faces, stood around the entrance to the prison, eager to hear the latest developments and pleading with the officers for admission to the jail to see the prisoners. Consternation prevails among the proprietors of the "fences" and dens where the goods were secreted and sold. In one instance the proprietor of a notorious den was detected in burning stolen property. A telegram received from

Dennisoii, ()., states that J. E. Dunlap,

the leader of the gang, was arrested there Monday morning, A number of houses in various parts of the city were raided Monday and a large quantity of goods recovered. Every man arrested had stolen goods somewhere. Among the prisoners are several desperate characters who were wanted by the police for other oflenses. They wore all armed, and, when not taken by surprise, resisted arrest. Numbers overpowered them, however, and all were safely lodged in jail. At a late hour Monday night, J, E, Dunlap, who is regarded as the ring leaderof the gang, made a confession to the detectives, in which he implicated several outsiders, and located "fences" at Dennison, 0., Now Philadelphia and other places. The Que stlon of Non-Iutcrcourse. Geo. Steele, president of the American Fisher union, and others of Gloucester wrote to President Cleveland, suggesing that the retaliatory act, passed by the late Congress, would, in theisopinion, be sufliciently executed if the proposed retaliation was confined to the closing of United States markets to Canadian fish products. To this the President replied at some length, published Saturday, concluding with the statement; "In the performance of the serious duty which Congress has imposed upon me, and in the exercise, upon just occasion, of the power conferred under the act referred to, I shall deem myself bound to inflict no unnecessary damage or injury upon am' portion of our people; but I shall, nevetheless,be unflinchingly guided by a sense of what the self-respect and dignity of the Nation demands." The universal sentiment at Gloucester, is for non-intercourse, and departing skippers are warned to keep away from Canada. All the Bettor for I-nbor. The first and immediate result of Chicago's recent election is the divorce of the United Labor party from that ot' the Socialists. Heretofore they have trained together, and it is estimated that fully one-half of the vote of 23,000 polled for Nelson came from the Socialists. George Eogers, a Knight of Labor leader in Chicago, says the members of the Order who favor anarchism and socialism can, at least, be expelled on gen oral principles, if nothing else can bo found against them. It would not be surprising to him if District Assembly No. 24 is suspended for contributing $500 to the United Labor campaign fuiul Other things may happen.

Death of "Col. Sellers." John T. Baymond, the comedian, died at EvansvilleJndSunday having gone to that city to play. The immediate cause of his death was heart disease, complicated with a severe cold, nervous prostration and congestion of the stomach and bowels.. John T. Raymond, was the assumed name of John T. O'Brien. He was born in Buffalo, N. Y,,. in 1836. His fame as a comedian is linked with the character of Col. Mulberry Sellers. Mr. Raymond made this character and himself famous all over the world. His remains were taken to New York.

IX CHICAGO. One of the most remarkable municipal contests that Chicago has ever experienced in the half century of her history commenced when her polls were opened at 8 o'clock on the 5th.

For eight 3ears past the Democracy has held the reins of the city government, and, like Dick Whittington of old, Carter Harrison, when he steps down and out, will be able to read in the bells the valedictory "Farewell, thou four-times Mayor of Chicago." And yet after fou r terms of rule, and with almost certain victory before it for at least two years more, the Democratic party , less than a week ago, became so completely demoralized through its inability to find a standard-bearer to fill Harrison's shoes that it was without a ticket in the field, and the Republicans alone were left to do bat tie with the labor-soeiali stic element. It is this fact which made the contest one of more than usual significance. Robert Nelson, the Labor candidate for Mayor, is an iron molder and master workman of the District Assembly of the Knights of Labor. Personally, he has no particular official affiliations with the socialists, but the very fact that the socialistic element is in full control of the united labor parly and that two of his associates on the ticket were avo wed socialists of the ultra type gave the Republicans the opportunity of raising the cry of "down with the red flag," and the election resolved itself into a fight between the commercial, industrial and business interests and the trades unionist, socialists and anarchists. As was expected the bulk of the Democratic party under these circumstances voted the Republican ticket. Excitement over the contest was at fever heat for a week and both sides worked earnestly to get their supporters to the polls, and a largo vote was polled. The police worked hard for Roche, in accordance with semi-official orders issued by Chief of Police Ebersold, in which they were urged to remember the massaere of May 4, last, and to do their utmost to administer a crushing defeat to the supporters of anarchy. Altogether the contest was a very interesting one and fully demonstrates the extent of the hold which the socialists have upon the trades union element of the metropolis of the west. The Republicans elected their entire ticket, with the exception of ftorth Town assessor and three aldermen, two of the aldermen being Labor candidates. The United Labor party polled about 20,000 votes, or about half the number its leaders anticipated. It is conceeded that where there were, no Democratic candidates in the field, Democrats who voted cast their ballots almost unanimously for the Republican ticket. It is estimated 10 per cent, of the Democrats did not vote. Throughout the day the Republicans and their Democratic alhea industriously distributed t Liming dodgers presenting the issue of the election as the American flag against the red. The United Labor party endeavored to meet this by charging that Mr. Roche wa?i an Orangeman. Officer John Ryan atrested Herman

Meyer for circulating the anti-Roche circulars. The arrest ne ar ly led to a riot, bist he was released on promising to desist. Similar scenes were enacted in other wards, and have le d to charges by the UnitedLabor leadens of unwarranted interference on the part of the police. In many of the various wards ladies were present distributing Prohibition tickets. The candidates of that party drew about their usual force. Returns from all the wards give Roche, Republican, 51,0S9, Nelson, Uuited Labor, 22,818; Roche's majority, 28,241, The city council in largely Republican. IN MICHIGAN, Complete returns show that the prohibitory amendment is defeated by at least 5,000. The southern'portion of the State gives a majority for piohibition, bint the adverse vote in . the upper peninsula more than overcomes this. KANSAS. . The introduction of female suffrage did not work great change in the character of the results. In cities and towns the women avadled themselves quite generally of their newly-acquired privilege. At Emporia the election was attended with considerable excitement, which was for the greater part caused by the activity of the Womans' Christian Temperance Union on behalf of their candidate for Mayor, Dr. J. J. Wright, against NVE. Weaver, the candidate of the citizens. As the result shows, however, their efforts will not be crowned with the most gratifying success, as out of the 542 women who registered only 398 voted, and of these over one-fourth voted against the candidate of the W. C. T. U. Weaver was elected by a large ma

jority.

The Republicans wto victorious at

Topeka and Fort Scott, and also at Wichita and Atchison. The women generally voted as did their husbands. In

Atchison the majority of the female vote

went to the Democracy.

ST. loois. The Democrats will have a majority in both houses of the municipal assembly, the Labor vote cannot bo got at yet, but it doesn't seem to have been as heavy as was expected. The contest has been close in mcst of the wards and districts, but there is scarcely a doubt that the Democrats have gainod a victory. Kumph, Republican, was elected Mayor of Kansas City by a large majority.

The Oabinot Cinishlors tlio Fishery and Otlier Complications with Great itritain. Tlio Cabinet met at 11 o'clock Thursday, in accordance with the plan for the summer months, and remained in session over three hours. The meeting was devoted almost entirely to consideration of international questions, the most important relating to the Canadian lisheries, the policy of Great JSritain in regard to the island of Hay ti and the seal lisheries of Alaska. In regard to the fisheries question, it is understood that information has been received to the effect that England sustains the position taken by the Canadian authorities! and is in no wise disposed to make the concessions requested by this government. This question n?as considered by the Cabinet with a viesr to the advisability of suitable action by the President under the provision! of the retaliatory act. The alleged demand of Great 33ritain for possession o Tortugus isiand,or the payment by the Haytian government of $1,000,000 in settlement of old claims, was considered at some length. The United States have great interests in Hay ti, commercial and otherwise, and are deeply concerned in its welfare and prosperity. A correspondence will be opened with Great Britain on this subject The Alaska seal fisheries were discussed with a view to their better protection from foreign interference. It is represented that the interests are now threatened by the wanton and wholesale slaughter of seals in the open ocean. It seems that during the day the female seals leave their young on the sho.tes of the islands in charge of the maleSjWhile they go miles away in search of food, with which they return at night. Recently a practice has sprung up of catching the female seals while they are in search of food. Their young perish, as a matter of course, and the perpetuation of the animals is emlangered. The difficul ty of controlling this mat ter arises from the alleged want of jurisdiction of our government over those waters beyond the threo-milc limit. The question will be again considered at a future meeting. It is a Curious Fact

A broken head u novor what it iscracitod up to he. iSgotism reclines on a self conceit. "Said Aaron to JIoscs Let's cut off our noses." . Aaron must have been a sufferer from catarrh . The desperation whi ch catarrh produces is often sufficient to make people say and do many rash tilings and many continue suii'ering just as if no such cure as Dr. Sage's Catarr ii Remedy existed. It cures every case from the simplest to the most complicated, and all ihe consequences of catarrah. A person on ae cured by Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will not be apt to lake cold again, :is it leaves the mucous membranes healthy and strong. By druggists. Tho unhappy sido ot life suicide.
