Two r-bbers held up an express train on the Southern Pacific rail road at Arcola, a small station in southern California, Friday and it is said, secured a large sum of money frou the express car.

Livingston may have been perfectly honest in abandoning the Democratic party on the eve of his late failure to secure an appoint ment, but he is finding it an exceed ingly difficult matter to explaiu the circumstance to the satisfaction of anyone except himself The num bers of lengthv ‘explanations’ from Mr. Livingston that are now appear ing in Southwest Missouri papers would prove the mental strain that he is under, if their contents did not. It is unnecessary, and perhaps un fair, to impugn the gentleman's motives for leaving the party at the time he did, when they are so trans parent, at any rate he is gone.

Washington, D C., Feb. 19— After debating the point among themselyes all day, the Democratic members of the Senate sub-commit- tee on finance agreed late this aftere noon not to report the tariff bill to the full committee to-morrow There was a time during the day when it looked as if they would certainly re port according to the programme announced last week, but the reasou for the change is found in the fact the sugar and metal schedules and coal and lumber are still objects of contention The sub committee has concluded its labor upon the details of the bill except upon these points, and it was understood. was prepar- ed to have the bill reported without changing any of these features,leav- ing them as they came from the House ways and means, if the pres- ent recommendations of the sub- committee are to be accepted, that the bill will go in with free sugar, free coal, free iron ore, free lead ore and free lumber. There was no abatement, however, in the demands of the advocates of aduty upon these articles. And the prospect of a bitter fight in the senate was so strong the committee definitely decided at a late hour to day to postpone the report which, it is now said, may be made later this week, but probably not until Tues- day of next week. One member of the committee stated this afternoon that it was now even possible the committee might change their minds to-morrow morning and raport to- morrow. _ Senator Voorhees has received from Boston a huge petition in book form for the passage of the Wilson bill, which he will present in the chairman of the executive WHITE ‘THE SOLUT ION.

Occasion had never before arisen for passing upon the fitness of a senator for the office of supreme judge, but there had been many in stances in which senators had been appointed to other places, and it has become the custom, not unbroken, however,to confirm without reference to committee It was believed on all hands the precedent would be followed in this instance, and such proved the case. The senate had been sitting behind closed doors less than half an hour, when it became known the motion to confirm with out reference had carried without opposition. The vote was unani mously and heartily in favor of con firmation. The belief is strong in the Louis. iana delegation in congress that rep resentative Blanchard will be ap- pointed by Governor Foster as senator to fill the unexpired term of Senator White Without excepticn all the repre- sentatives and prominent officials in this city interviewed upon this sub ject, express entire satisfaction with the president’s selection, Edward Douglas White will take his seat on the supreme bench as the youngest of the justices, and with the exception of Justices Field and Harlan, he will have entered at an earlier period in life than any of the other justices, and will have the exceptionally long term of twenty one years to serve before retirement. He was born in the parish of La Fourche, La., and was 48 yeara of age last November.

APPEALED TO CUNGRESS. Rhode {sland Democrats Seek National Aid to Secure Their Rights. Providence, R. I., Feb. 17 —The democratic members of the legisla- ture in caucus last evening, on the suggestion of ex Governor Davis, voted to a forward resolution to con- gress ex-plaining and asking the government to interfere and compel the senate to meet the house of rep- resentatives in grand committes and oust Governor Brown. The trouble is the result of the recent state election. Governor Russell Brown, republican, was a candidate for re-election. His dem oeratic opponent was David F. Bak er.

The reaun for the postponement is discovered in the fact that the work of satisfy ing Democratic Senators has been found avery difficult one, and the construction of a bill that is sure to be accepted by them requires many changes of purpose and alterations of the figures at first made. When the sub-committee began their work they had before them the draft of a bill upon which it was be- lieved it would be an easy matter to secure agreement, but this bill has been changed in some respects sev eral times and has become necessary to destroy the original eopy and re place it with a new ove. There is still much demand for concessions on the part of Senators on minor items, and many of the most import- ant features in the bill are unacted upon. Sugar is ineluded in this list, and it looks as if ite fate would be about the last question to be deter mined by the sub committee. | CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST. The fight over the silver seignior age bill will be resumed in the House to-morrow, and Mr Bland is confident there will be a quorum on hand to order the previous question either to morrow or Tuesday.
