ROBBER IS KILLED BY MESSENGER Two Men Hold Up a Pas- | senger Train on the Burlington Road and One Is Shot.

He was about six feet tall, powerfully bulit, apparently about 45 years of age and has black hair end mustache. The two men boarded the train at Union | Pacific Transfer a tender just Mosquito d climbed over the Creek bridge. were in charge of the engine, were or- dered to*slow up as soon as the train had crossed the bridge. While the man afterward kilied held a revolver on the en- gine crew his companion went back and cut off the baggage and mall cars, leav- ing the day coaches and sleepers standing on the main line. Acting under orders the engineer pulled the train half a mile down the track, Here the rob- bers approached the express car and or- dered Messenger Baxter to open the door. Under compulsion Engineer Donnelly attached a stick of | dynamite to the side door of the car and blew it open. In the meantime Messen- ger Baxter seized his gun and escaped from the door on the opposite side of lhe car. As soon as the door was opened one ot the robbers entered the car, while his | | companion marched the engineer and | fireman back to the engine. Baxter crept around in front of the en- gine and, seeing the robber standing guard over the engine crew, fired one shot, killing him instantly. As soon as the shot was heard, the robber in the car jumped | field. The dead man was picked up, placed on board and the train backed into this city. The body was searched, but nothing was found cn it by which it could be identi- fied. The dead robber was dressed in a neat sait of black clothes, over which overalls and jumper had been drawn. In the pockets was found about $15 in money and a watch and chain. Conductor William McGrew, who was in charge of the train, thinks the dead man is one George of St. Joseph. The robber who escaped was larger and taller than the dead man, being appar- ently above six feet in height. Both men were masked and both wm'e overalls and jumpers. The door of the express car was badly shattered by the explosion of dynamite.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3—The Depart- ment of State has received a dispatch from Consul General Goodnow at Shang- hal, dated August 25, from which it ap- pears that at the request of the Consul General, the Viceroys of Kangsun and Szechuen have promised to do everything in their power to have the following mis- | sionaries, belonging to the Christian and Missionary Alliance, safely escorted frorm Minchou, in Kansuh, to Chengking: Ma tin Eckvall,-David P.

Series of Engagements in Which | of | — MAY CAUSE | SETTLEMENT OF TROUBLE Germany’s New Plans as | to China Pave Way for an Adjustment by Powers. ALL BUREAU, WELLINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Oect. 3.—Further consideration of the | proposition submitted by the Ger- | man Government through Baron von Sternburg, German Charge d'Affalres, relative to the designation and punishmert of the responsible authors of the Chinese outrages, convinces the officials that they pen the way to a settlement of the entire fon. The officials do not rceal the fact that they had feared tnat ny contemplated delaying the zd- jusiment of the entire question in the hope of obtaining territorial reparation for the murder of her Minister and for Injuries sustained by her subjects, and that the proposition to force the Chinese Govern- ment to surrender to the allies those Chi- nese who would be designated by the Min- iststs at Peking was in line with this pur- pose. ‘This apprehension has been largely | dissipated by the new suggestions which | have been advanced. They are in line to | | a great degree with the views of this Gov- | | ernment, and it Is expected that Secretary | Hay in his reply will show the satisfac- | | tion feit by this Government at the change | they make in Germany’s position. It 1s understood to be the purpose of this | | Government to take advantage of the re- | | newal of the concert between the nations |to formulate a method of settiement of | the entire Chinese question, and this will | be discussed by the President and his { Cabinet when Mr. McKinley returns to | | Washington. The adoption of a commen | | line of action by all the powers is be- | lieved to be possible In view of Germany’s | | apparent desire to re-establish harmony. | In connection with the character of pun- | ishment that the Chinese Government wiil be required to impose attention has been | dirscted in official circies to the reply of the German Emperor to the communica- | ‘ tion addressed to him by the Emperor of [China. The reply is looked upon as a very | ! . | important state document. It shows that | | the Emperor himself proposes to be the | judge not only as to the sufficiency of pun- ishment but as to those who should be punished for the outrages, and is in ae- cord with the note he has addressed to the powers to bring about a concurrent action on these points. The Emperor fur- ther specifically indicates whom he re- gards as responsible, “but advisers of your Majesty’s throne and officials upon whose heads rest the blood of the crime which fills all Christendom with horror must,” he says, “explate their abominable deed.” This indicates clearly the exaction to which the Imperfal Government must sub- mit, and may have an Important effect stirring up those who are implicated to induce the imperfal authorities to renew their attitude of hostility to the demand of the foreign powers. ese ques e | MR, HEARST [§ ABSENT, AS USUAL 'Fails to Attend the Convention of Clubs.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 3.—The city of Indianapolis to-night presented a scene of Democratic festivity. From the vari- ous bulldings in the business sectons American flags, streamers and bun were flung to the evening breeze portraits of distinguished leaders of the Democracy were displayed from frames and | of electric bulbs. At 8 o'clock a parade of all the Demo~ cratic clubs and delegates marched through the streets, while thousands of people lined the sidewalks and cheered to the echo. The display of Democratic en- | thusiasm was rendered more pretentious by the fireworks burned aic thoroughfares. The city was entirely in the hands of the Democracy. The multiplicity of trans- parencies In the parade and the vari- colored uniforms of the different Demo- cratic clubs added greatly to the spectac- ular splendor of the occasion. The programme for the opening session of the convention, as officially announced. was changed just prior to the hour of meeting. President W. R. Hearst was ex- pected to be present to preside, but tele- graphed that he was ill and unable to at- tend. The convention was therefore called to order by Senator James K.
