Hon. "Bobby" Evans seems to be having a hard row to hoe in Chicago. It is not too late for Hon. Robert to enter the list of dark horses. We call the attention of our Repub lican friends to the fact that the best re port of their convention will be found in the Globe, which revolves for all. A partial canvass of the state, which appears elsewhere, shows that Gov. McGill has not been idle of late. Great is the power of underground wires. o The Globe's Chicago advices indi cate that our Republican friends are still all at sea.

THE INDEPENDENTS WILL. DE CIDE THE CONTEST. The attached voters of the country are tvenly divided between the two great parties— so evenly that the unattached -r indanaiwlenl m_or will fl,s^ «,<_>. „ _1 niuv-i^nutiii ,_l_i 111 till. JCill, iIS he did in 1884, decide the contest. The fact that the defeated candidate of 1884 —Mr. Blame—i s still the undoubted spontaneous choice of the Republican party, coupled with the conservative in disposition to change without strong reasons— an effective disposition with business men— will go far to cause the Independent vote to be cast for the re election of President Cleveland. It is now clear that, although the can didate who was defeated in 1884 by the Independent vote may not be nom inated at Chicago this week, the Blame influence will predominate in making the selection of the candidate, which will be about as obnoxious to the Inde pendents. ■ THE PEOPLE'S VOICE. It is and has been the policy of the Globe to give the people in political matters as honorable and fair a voice through its columns as the politicians are usually presented with by newspa pers notoriously known as "organs." A point in evidence of this policy of the GLOBE is made in our political col umns this morning. A fortnight ago the Globe sent out to five hundred ad dresses in all parts of the state postal cards asking for Republican preferences for governor and president. As far as possible these cards were sent to business and professional men and not to the politicians. Answers to the number of 457 are published in the Globe this morning, and they show what will be a surprise to many, that Gov. McGill has the lead, with Oil man a close second, Scheffeu a good third and Mekkiam a bad fourth. In the presidential preferences Blame and GuEsiiAM are nearly equally di vided. The Globe presents this poll of the state to its patrons as an evidence of the good faith with which it seeks to act toward all parties and classes in this commonwealth. It is an. honest vote, honestly obtained, and, as a "straw," worth something more than the boastful and unsustained claims of -aid claqueurs. ELEVATED ROADS. St. Paul public sentiment is crystalliz ing and solidifying in favor 'of the city council granting a charter to one or more of the companies which are apply ing for the privilege of furnishing rapid transit between the Iwo cities. • Almost in the nature of things, a road whose cars shall run at a speed as great as public convenience demands must be an elevated one. Great speed on the surface is not compatible with -the safety of street traffic." :, An elevated road running from some point in the business^ district of the city, up through the residence por tion, and by a direct route to the busi ness section of Minneapolis, with fre quent and convenient stations, would not only be a great convenience to those people in either city who need to visit the other city, but it would give an immense impetus to the building up and peopling of the beautiful inter urban district. Whether the. road would pay its projectors and proprietors, we do not know, but that it would be of untold benefit to the public is un doubted. The Globe is gratified to see that the Chamber of Commerce, the Ileal Estate Board and other public bodies are tak ing hold of this important matter. With such crystallization and expression of public sentiment upon this subject the city council will find it a pressing duty to act favorably and promptly. -a^ TOADYING TO BLAINE. The other day Walker Bi.aixe, son of James G., the politician, strolled into the Gresiiam headquarters at Chi cago, chatted pleasantly with some of Gkesham's retainers, we are told, and then seated himself and wrote his name in a book kept for those who care to register. Thereupon Bi.aixk toadies who favor Gkesham's nomination wont into hysterics over this slight indication that Blaixe, the politician, is friendly to the nomination of the ludianian. The friends of Jonx Shermax claim that Bi.aixe is friendly to the nomina tion of the icy statesman, and that he is sure to be the secretary of state should the Ohio man win; and the friends of each of the other candidates are seek ing signs to prove that Blaixe is anxious for their particular candidate to win at Chicago. Thus the toadying goes on, and, let who win may it is clear that Blame and Blainism will be on top. BLAINISM IN THE ASCENDANT AT CHICAGO. Two things are now clear: The spirit of Blame will dictate the nomination at Chicago, and the spirit of Monopoly will be the essence of the platform. Whoever be the nominee and what ever be the wording of the platform, it will be as plainly Blame and High Protection as if the nominee were Blame himself standing upon his Paris letter. This much is plain from the spirit shown in all the talk and moves at Chi cago. Blame and Blame methods are in the ascendant; the Blame men are in control, and if Blame be not the nominee, the Barrel will be. -*e»- THE PROHIBITION PARTY. The national Prohibition convention, recently held at Indianapolis, which placed in nomination for the presidency Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, was the most important convention yet held by that party for its hostility to the Republican party, from which the Prohibition party draws most of its recruits, was frankly expressed. The striking fact in regard to the prospects of the movement is that the Prohibition vote no longer falls off in the presidential year. "In 1884 it reached a total of 153,012. This was in part composed of the votes of many who could not support Mr. Blame, and who would not vote for Mr. Cleveland. But there will be many this year who voted for Mr. Blame and who will now vote for Gen. Fisk. They do not doubt probably the temperance convictions of many Re publicans, but they do not see that such Republicans control the party action, and they doubt the sincerity of the party managers. Moreover, the question of prohibition takes precedence in their minds of the tariff or civil .service re form, and they follow the example of the old anti-slavery men in declining to subordinate the question to gratify politicians who do not really care for it. This is the power of their position, and the sneers and remonstrances of the Republican papers, and the allegations that the Prohibitionists are practically "deputy Democrats" and their party an ally of Democratic rum-sellers, affect them no more than the same kind of vituperation affected the anti-slavery men forty years ago, or the mugwumps in 1884. A man who in the pursuit of what he holds to be the right course in public, affairs cannot smile at black guardism should retire from public con troversy. . ~. "The Prohibition campaign will be prosecuted most vigorously probably in the doubtful states. In New York the vote as between the two great parties will be close, and a third party vote may decide the event. In 18S4 the Pro hibitionists cast 25,000 votes in New York. In 1844 it was in New York that the Liberty party vote defeated Mr. Clay. The third party movement in this state, therefore, can not be ridi culed out of the account. In New Jersey, where Gen. Fisk ran for gov ernor* at the last state election, he polled a large vote, which will, be larger this year. The Prohibition campaign will gain dignity and weight from the char- acter of its candidate, and it will be greatly advanced by the moral earnest ness of its advocates, many of whom are clergymen, to whom' the campaign will be a holy crusade. In some of the West ern states, where the temperance senti ment has been strong enough to pass constitutional amendments, this moral enthusiasm will be very effective. Tlae Prohibition campaign will probably have little attention from the journals of the two great parties, but its results will be awaited with great interest." i«w ST. LOUIS JOKES. Left-Over Good Stuff From the Democratic Pow-Wow. St. Louis Letter to New York Telegram. Well, it's all over now, and a fellow has a chance to go down in his game bag and pull out a few rare specimens of gathered bon-mots, brought down on the wing — not that heavy, bombastic platform fustian that falls into your net like a rhetorical wild flock, but the choice and delicate game flushed in the thick underbrush of retiracy — some-' thing you have to gun for, like plover. Alter Dougherty had started the Cleveland craze and the hooting maniacs had tired themselves into sanity again. Uncle Dan Voorhees strolled, out to the neighboring refectory to irrigate that barren spot on his chin where giew, in happier days gone by, the most impres sive imperial in American history. As the apollinaris touched his under lip the Tall Sycamore observe*"!: — "Boys, it strikes me that New York must be rather beggared in intellect when she can't beat Dan Dougherty. Why, he's only a special declaimer. *I have it from one of the men in charge of the hall that he's been in that build ing posing and attitudinizing for the past three days, to get the dramatics of it down pat. New York is a Mecca for carpet-baggers, anyhow. It always was. I like Dan Dougherty well enough, but his wife and family live in Philadelphia still; he's only got an office and a hammock over in New York, but the Empire City is so hard up for orators that it has to draft the profes sional peacock— six tail ' feathers and all spread." 7 r 7 • "'•••"■' * » Later on Uncle Dan had his wrestle with the God of Oratory, and a long whiskered nut-cracker from the South remarked: * .*: j " "Looks to me as if Voorhees was THE -SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1888. a-doin* the great sword-swallowin' act., •'•■ He didn't dare to tell the convention* : that they, couldn't carry Indiana with- •; out Gray, and he find to look all the time at 800 bandanna halters for the Hoosier man.

"We're whispering it mighty \oX7 '-•"'t now, . but you can let it go when Tlmrman jjet-s the call. Voorhees must take his coat off and beat the bushes this fall, for he has several dozen eggs himself in the No vember basket, and lie never lets them addle on his hands. The next legis lature in our state is to settle the suc cessor to Voorhees' senate seat, boys, and no Democrat can crawl far enough into the caves to get out of the reach of Uncle Dan's arm. When Voorhees takes his coat off we get there every time." * * Ma*. Bickham, of the Dayton, (Ohio) Journal, politically christened "Bill," sat mopping his expansive Republican brow on the convention steps while the unwashed Democracy were holding a Thurman wake ou the inside. There was blood in his eye, and the usual stock of "patriotism" oozed from its pores. "Bill," who is epigrammatic and abusive, remarked: "Why, it means Sherman; of course. Got a walk-over at Chicago now. Yes, guess we can capture the state any how, but we'll make 'em think at Chi cago that 'Old .Snuff' carries Ohio in his pocket, and serve notice that it's Sher man or defeat. "Gresham? Good Lord! He's only got a small newspaper boom and a few 'purity' claqueurs, and g he'll not be hoard of alter the first ballot. The logic of politics forces Sherman to the front. "Harrison? And get slaughtered on the Pacific coast and run the risk of losing Indiana with that Hoosier icicle? Net much. "Depew! Why, they'd butcher him in the West. "How do you like the platform?" "Best in the world. Two old Copper heads, free trade and repudiation of the soldier vote. Will give you one soldier, plenty of high tariff and the best assorted lot of patriotism you ever saw. Fight it on the sectional issue? Of course, red-hot, after the lngalls style. That's our game " * » . In the Arkansas rooms loomed up the tall, cowboy frame of Col. J. N. Smithee. "iNo," sam ne, we aoivt exactly ia_e much stock in that tariff plank. It don't cut to the bone. At the rate the Mills bill is going, we'll not get taxes reduced much for a thousand years. Reminds me of a boy down our way whose father gave him a sum to do: " 'There's a cat at the bottom of a well, and every time they pull him up one foot, he falls back two feet; how long 'fore he gits to the top?' "Johnny called for a state and com menced on it. He rilled three slates with figures and called for a fourth. " "How you makin' out, sou?' " 'First-rate. I'll have that cat in hell now in about three minutes.' Senator Mat Ransom, the dashing ex- Confederate leader and courtly cheva lier, was lounging in the Pine Tree rooms while the resolutions committee was at work. "No," said he. "I'm not on that plat form committee, because I declined, and I'll give my reasons. 1 don't claim that I'm any better than my neighbors, of course, but my view of a national convention is that it should come straight from the people and be gov erned by them, not by * professional politicians and people who make their living out of party rewards. I'm an old fogy, they say, but these are my honest sentiments. Perhaps they're squeamish, and 1 don't believe you'll find any one here who doesn't call me a crank. "We are drifting too fast nowadays towards centralizaeion in everything — the few controlling the many. There's no way ta avoid this very well in legis lation, but 1 want to see conventions run by the people direct, and not by po litical bosses. Yes, 1 like the platform, but 1 would have liked it better if the people, and not the politicans, had built it." Everybody out West knows David H. Armstrong," of Missouri. He preceded Vest in the senate, and has been a fight ing Democrat since Hannibal crossed the Alps. "Age cannot wither, nor custom stale his infinite variety." He is scrtching close to eighty now. but he still covers the -ground like a reindeer. . After the wake was over the colonel was resting in the Planter's corridor, fresh as a daisy, although lie had been going it night and day for a week. "Like the ticket, my boy? Why, good Lord, of course I do. You chickens think that you run this Democratic barnyard, but yofi'll see more old Roman roosters strutting round the premises next November than you thought there were on the party farm, and they'll all have their fighting combs up, too. You chickens can go fighting this time; we roosters will boss the farm for awhile. "When 1 first had to vote in the sen ate, Thur man came over to me and said: 'Armstrong, you vote no.' 'Then 1 withered him all up: 'Do you think I've been a Democrat for sixty years without knowing how to vote?' "Here's a telegram I'm going to send him now: "Allen G. Thurman, Columbus, O. — Draw at sight for ten years of Demo cratic vitality and charge to account of David 11. Armstrong." And he rushed off like a rabbit on an "Old Roman" run. * .*■ On the train coming west I met Attor ney General Michner, of Indiana (Re publican), who is pitted in the coming light against John Wilson. Michner comes of Virginia stock and Wilson is Virginia born— so its an Old Dominion Colonial fight. Both men are able and adroit. Michner, of course, was hot for Harri son as the only available Moses, but he conceded that the Democratic vote would be strongest if Gray was not on the ticket. This was before the nominations were made. "As to Gresham. he is simply out of the question," he said. "The Chicago papers that are booming him now are only paying an old debt. When Gres ham was postmaster general he placed fast morning trains on the Northwestern roads from Chicago, and thus enabled the Chicago papers to farm an immense region with their early editions, which they had never been able to do before. But he has no strength with the politi cians who will manage the machine. His boom needs coopering so badly that the staves will tumble in as soon as the convention handles it. "There's another great objection to him. We are forced this time to make a high tariff issue, and to do this we must have a man with a high tariff record. When Gresham tries to set up his boom at Chicago he will find the hotels plastered with low tariff utter ances he made shortly after the close of the war. They are at work digging them up now ready for use. That will soon kill him off— that is, if the politi cians are not simply swept out of sight by some popular tidal wave, and I don't fear any tidal waves now that Blame is not in the ring." * * Before he left for home I had a short .hat with Talcott Williams, leading editorial writer on the Philadelphia. Press (war tariff Republican), and he corroborated what Gen. Michner has said. Mr. Williams is not only a versa tile and brilliant writer, but has a happy mental constitution that enables him to see both sides of the question. He has a habit of digging down through the earth and loam of partisanship till he strikes solid rock. "Gresham," said he, "has the senti ment with him now, as Thurman had in this convention, but he will meet with handicaps that Thurman did not have. I know they will spring a low tariff record on him at Chicago. It was made in a speech he delivered not long after the close of the war, but I can't recall the exact date. "As a matter of fact there are few Republican leaders who have not at some time since the war closed advo cated lower tariffs, hut Gresham's posi tion was rather too strong for a paity. which intends to draw the line between free trade and protection. ' If the party should nominate him it would, in my judgment, court certain "" defeat on the issue we shall be obliged to make." "What of Depew?" "He would be equally fatal, though for a widely different reason. People all over the West and Northwest have been so fleeced by railroad rings and are so hot in their aversion to railroad magnates that his nomination would be fatal. Joe . McCullagh, editor of the ("lobe-Democrat, told me very positively that Depew coliid not even carry lowa,' and results in the Northwestern states would be even more disastrous." ;;4 7, "What is your horoscope'"" . "Well, it's all at sea. Personally, 1 fancy either Harrison and Piatt, of Con necticut, or Sherman, with some New" York or New Jersey man as vice. 'The fight will be bitter and hard. I don't indorse the id'-i that the Democrats have made a mistake. Their position "' is outspoken and their platform is brave. The lines of battle are drawn, and fight ing on both sides will be forced." -• ALL FOR DEPEW. . ■ .} Continued From First Page. -- Mean committee had decided- to'< admit anti-Mahone as well- as ! the Mahone delegates. There are twenty-four delegates from Virginia to • the national convention. The Mahone delegates are, as we claim, the regular delegation. We represent 081 delegates to the state convention. Because we voted to permit the congressional dele gates to select their representatives to the national convention at Peters burg instead of going home to do it, John S. Wise bolted and with only eighty-one delegates to the state convention he has chosen sixteen con gressional delegates and four delegates at large. We will be able to prove to the convention that we are the regular delegates, but the national committee took snap judgment on us and, without hearing our side of the dispute, it has been decided to admit the anti-Mahone delegation. When the convention is put in possession of our side of the case it will not hesitate to give us the right of priority." "Who are the Mahone delegates for, for the presidential nominee?" "They can't be said to be for any can didate first, last and all the time. They are very friendly toward Sherman. Sherman has helped us on many occa sions in Virginia, and, if our delegates are admitted, they will vote for Sher man until it is proven that he can't be nominated. Then our second choice is Harrison." FOR ALGER. Yonnjj John Logan Expresses Has Preference. Special to the Globe. Chicago, June Hon. William Walter Phelps now states positively that Mr. Blame is not and cannot be made a candidate. The Herald this morning says: "C. 11. Andrews, ac companied by his son-in-law, John A. Logan, Jr., arrived last night at the Palmer house from Youngstown, O. Mr. Logan said that they came here in the interest of Gov. Alger, whose nomination they are anxious to secure. "There is no doubt," said Mr. Logan, "but that Mr. Blame is sin cere in what he has previously said that he was not a candidate and Ido not believe that he would accept a nomination even if it was tendered him. I was for Mr. Blame until 1 knew of* these facts, * and now 1 am for Gov. Alger. He was my father's friend, and he is the soldiers' friend in the truest' sense of the word. He would make an excellent president, aud ought to be nominated." , THE DAKOTA CAUCUS.- A Partial Organ izaiioaa Effected, W hich Will Be Fiaaished To- Day. , , , Special to the Globe. •_' i Chicago, June 17. The Dakota dele gation held a protracted caucus to- , night, lasting until near midnight. ; The following partial organiza tion was effected: L. B. Richardson, vice president; H. C. Hansborougli, committee on organizations; B. L. Sullivan, on credentials; E. W.Foster, on rules; N. R, Hubbard, on permanent organization; George W. Hoop, on notification; Samuel T. Glover, messenger. The election of the na tional committeeman was postponed until 8 o'clock to-morrow morning. Judge Moody expresses the belief that Dakota will be permitted to cast ten votes in the convention. They will be for Blame if he is placed in nomination. - M. A BLAINE PARADE. A Turn-Out of 8,000 Expected Monday Evening. Chicago, June 17.— The Young Men's Blame Club of Chicago met this after noon to perfect arrangements for its participation in the monster parade which takes place to-morrow night, starting at the auditorium. The parade will be a strictly Blame turn-out and at least 8,000 persons from Chicago and abroad are expected to take part in it. Chairman Beard appointed a committee of ten to visit the various Blame dele gations in the city and tender them in vitations to gather at the California headquarters. The California delega tion has extended an invitation to the local Blame club to make its headquar ters at the Leland hotel, and the invita tion has been accepted. The Columbus (O.) club ami the Topeka Republican Flambeau club will be among those to take part. MEMORABLE CONTESTS. Republacaai History of the Past That May Be Repeatud. In the contest for the nomination for president in 1876, at Cincinnati, there were eight candidates, of whom Blame led in all but the last ballot, when Hayes was successful. Seven ballots were taken, Blame entering with 285 votes, and never falling below that number, and once receiving 851 votes. Bristow entered with 113, reached 126, and on the last ballot had but 21. Gov. Hayes had 61 in the first, and slowly increased until the fifth, when his vote reached 104, and then 113 on the sixth ballot.and in the last, the seventh, he had 384. Morton's forces gave Hayes 25 out of. the. 30 Indiana votes, and then the votes rolled up until >iew York, under Conk ling's leadership, cast 61 out of the 70 votes for Hayes, and Pennsylvania 28 out of 58. The turning point seemed to be Indiana,and the result was no longer a problem. All the territories were for Blame excepting Montana and Wyo ming, which voted for Hayes. The seven ; ballots were as follows : i iIBr i f •_ U '5 Il*_ iJ *_ It 0 8?] a a 2 2 s m 3. . Hake. r § H. a *"* & g ." :o.:p : : 5 .

In the Chicago convention of 1880 there was a steadiness in voting for thirty-four ballots which was remarka ble, considering the number of dele gates, the sharpness of the contest, the candidates and the diversity of inter est. This is only to be accounted for on the ground of the leadership ""of- the-, forces, which was matchless? and had never before been equaled in any national nominating convention. The first ballot . was ' an excellent illustration of the strength of the can-, didates, as will be seen by the follow ing: Grant.. ..304|Blalne 284 Sherman .......... 93 Edmund 5.......... 34 Washbume ....... 301 Windom 10 The vote for Windom was that ' of Minnesota. Washburne's was scattered, ei_ht coming from Illinois. On the last : —the thirty-sixth— ballot the vote stood: i Grant .3001 Garfield ........ 399 Blame ............ 41 Sherrnaaa '.'.* 3 Waslibnrne oj • - . As in 1870, Indiana led strongly in the ' .deciding vote for the nominee. ; The Blame \*~ote went compactly for Gar field, as the Morton anal Conkling vote had gone four years before for Hayes. In New York aud elsewhere the . anti-;. ("rant vote was almost unanimously : cast for Garfield. It was not revealed until the ballot before the last that the successful man would be named so soon, or who would be the party's choice. - The Edmunds,. Washburne and Sher man vote also went almost entirely for Garfield. The convention of 1884 was the short est of the three memorable ones during the period considered. The support of Arthur was scattered, and lacked the compactness and organization of the candidacies of 1876 and " 1880. This was due to " Arthur's not making an act ive^ campaign, while the managers of Blame were veterans and understood their plan of canip_!gn thoaoughly. The change most pronounced and telling in the fourth and last ballot was when Illi nois was called. Illinois on the third ballot had voted Logan 40, Blame 3, Ar thur 1, and on the fourth ballot cast cast 34 for Blame, and Indiana followed with her solid delegation, and the other states came trooping in. All the territories excepting New Mexico voted for Blame, and the District of Columbia divided be tween Blame and Arthur, New Mexico going for Arthur. The votes by ballots were as follows: q a h •""""" 5" I fcr ° Name.

Special to the Globe, r Washington, June 17.— There has been a great deal of comment in politi cal and club circles here on the widely published statement that a 55,000 wager ou the presidential election had been made between Representative Timothy Campbell, of New York, and ex-Con gressman Paige, of California. To a reporter of the Washington Star Mr. Campbell said yesterday: "Of course it is true. ' Why not? 1 bet him 95,000 that Cleveland and Thurman will carry New York, with a good margin of votes to spare. A forfeit of -.100 a side was put up. I was willing to give him a few days to see whom they will nominate at Chicago. If he doesn't take the bet, then he'll forfeit his $100 and 1 will take it down. If he sticks the balance of the money will be put up. Referring to the matter to-day, Mr. ! Paige said: i wish you would correct j this statement. 1 have not made a wager of $5,000 with Mr. Campbell, nor have I put up $100 to bind a bet on the election. 1 do not care to pose before my friends as a reckless better, and it would be very silly to make such a bet now.when large odds could be had on the same proposition. At Chain berliu's. Thurs day night last, 1 offered to bet Camp bell $1,000 that he could not name three Northern states that would be carried by Cleveland and Thurman in Novem ber. He declined to accept the wager and made the $5,000 counter proposi tion, which I in turn declined. That was all there was to it. except several hours of talk. I will wait until the Chi cago nominations are made, and then I may be glad to name the biggest wager that Mr. Campbell and his friends can stand. ,'.

Ten Highwaymen Stop a . Northern Pacific Passen ger Train, Break Open. the Express Car With a Pick From the Engine, And Take a Money Pack age—lts Contents Un known. Two Hundred Shots Fired, But Nobody Killed—Passen gers Robbed. Special to the Globe. Bismarck, Dak., June 17.— From conversation with passengers and train men from the West, it is learned that there were at least ten in the gang of train robbers who stopped the Northern • Pacific train near Big Horn at 11 o'clock last night. The signal which stopped the train was a torch made by setting fire to brush, which was swung across the track. The engineer stopped the train, and as soon as the train halted one of the robbers boarded the engine and compelled the engineer and fire man to leave their posts at the point of a Winchester rifle. They took the coal pick from the engine and with this implement broke the door of the express car, forcing the engineer to enter the car first to prevent the express messenger from shooting. The mes senger pleaded with the engineer to keep out of the car, but the robbers forced him through the door after in timidating the messenger by riddling the car with bullets. Several of the gang entered the car and took posses sion of . A MONEY PACKAGE, the amount of which is unknown, as it is learned the messenger refused to in- form the conductor ot the amount. They took the conductor to the rear Pullman car and told him to stay there. After remaining under guard 45 min utes the conductor asked permis sion of the robbers to go back and flag a train which was nearly due to prevent it from crashing into the pas senger. Permission was given and the train was flagged. The passenger train was held about one hour and thirty minutes, during which time about $400 was taken from the passengers. Over 200 shots were fired, evidently for the purpose of terrorizing the passengers, as no was killed. When they escaped! the gang separated, part going south and others north. A posse under the sheriff of Billings has been organized and is now in pursuit. ANOTHER account. Special to the Globe. Helena, June 17.— A special from Billings, Mont., says that the west bound limited passeuger on the North ern Pacific was robbed by highwaymen Friday night near Big Horn. T. 11. Sargent, engineer, and W. B. Cavender were interviewed on the robbery, and Sargent gave the following account of the affair: We were halted three and one-half miles west of Big Horn by a torch about 9:30 p.m. We stopped and a masked man appeared at the steps of the engine. A moment later a gun was discharged, the bullet cutting its way through the end of the cab. 1 was invited to throw up my hands. I was then ordered to get out of the engine, and under an armed escort went down to the express car, which was broken open by the engineer's pick. I was at once ordered to crawl through the opening, and did so, telling the express messenger what was going on. He at first declined to throw up his hands, but finally weakened and gave up the keys. Several of the gang followed me iv and opened the safe, securing $50. One package that looked particularly valu able proved to be a package of lead pencils. The profanity that followed its opening can better be imagined than described. The gang then took me down through the train. The pas sengers were ordered to hold up their hands, and every one complied. One guard was stationed at each door of the car, and only one robber went through the train. Several had only a dol lar or two in silver, which, as the robber remarked, broke his heart to accept, and the coin was promptly returned. About $90 was ob tained from the passengers in the sleeper. The performance lasted nearly two hours. The engineer was finally allowed to return to his engine, but the fireman was kept in close custody until the robbers were through with their work and had retired. One passenger resisted the robber, who at once discharged his re volver, the bullet cutting through his victim's hat and passing through the window. The victim gave up without further argument. Conductor Beeman acted heroically and prevented blood shed. LEARNED IN ST. PAUL. Supt. Bi owning, of the express com pany, was seen by a reporter for the Globe last night, but had no details about the robbery. He said that the robbers could not have secured much from the messenger, whose name is Enos. If they had secured the money that was being sent through, they would have gotten a good haul. But as a precaution against such rob beries each express car is provided with a burglar-proof safe fastened to the car, ■>,! .!,;,.!, „-.,ii!.l ronnira ,, ..i-, .,,,., mill \mii. ii wuuiu icquuc an repeat eight hours to open. The messenger does not know the combination on that safe, -which is opened at certain points along the line. All the money that the robbers secured was the small amounts that were passing from local points. Mr. Browning, as soon as he learned of the robbery, put the sheriff at Billings on the trail of the gang, and the commander at Fort Custer has offered his assistance in running them down. A reward will be offered for their capture to-day and nothing will be left undone necessary to bring about the capture of the men. The robbery oc curred near Big Horn, a water tank six miles east of Custer. WASHBURN SILVER. : -7>,7 Wisconsin People Jubilant Over Rich Faaads of Ore. Special to the Globe. Ashland, Wis., June 17.—Stockhold ers in the Washburn silver mines at Wakefield are feeling jubilant, as Capt. Strobeck's theory that gold and silver exists in paying quantities has been sustained. The Washburn company had an expert examine their property last week. He examined eight teet across the formation of their vein and made an amalgamation run of twenty five pounds, so obtained. The result was very flattering, it being demon strated that it could be worked at a profit of over ?10per ton. It is estimated that with an outlay of $20,000 250 tons of ore can be turned out per day. Work will be pushed as rapidly as possible and the necessary machinery put in to work the ore. ■ '7-7- Was It for Blame? Special to the Globe. Bismarck, Dak., June President Hughitt and directors of the Chicago & Northwestern road, passed through this city in a special train en route East this evening. They have been to the Pacific coast, going by the way of Ogden, and for several days have been in the National Park. Mr. Hugitt inquired as to the combinations in Chicago, but was non-committal on preference^. It is rumored that their trip has been made for more than pleasure, and •* that some important railroad developments may be expected. AUDITOR WARD'S DICTUM.. 7 ————— .■":' '-7-' i He "Winds Up a Wahpeton Insur ance Company.'- ; " Special to the Globe. Bismarck, Dak., June Auditor : Ward has revoked the authority of the Northwestern Mutual Insurance Com pany of Dakota to do business in the territory. In his notice to the secretary of the company at Wahpeton the audi tor says : 7"l< rom a careful investigation of the report of Public Examiner Tyler of the financial condition of the Northwestern Mutual Insurance company, of Wahpe ton, Dak., as shown by an official ex amination of said company, and from other sources, l*am convinced that the annual statement ..of said com pany for the year ISS7, which was riled in this offlcesFeb. 1, 1887, is false in whole or in part and that said com pany is in an insolvent condition. Now, therefore, I, James A. Ware, auditor of Dakota.Territory, by virtue of the power vested in me by 'law, do hereby revoke the certificates of authority issued in behalf of said Northwestern Mutual Insurance company, whereby said com pany was authorized to do its appropri ate business during the year 1888, and forbid said company or any agent there of to issue any new policy of insurance in the name of said Northwestern Mu tual Insurance company or to renew any policy which has been issued previous to this notice." 7. . -7 > r: The knowledge of this action is of vast importance throughout Dakota, as the Northwestern is one of the most widely patronized insurance companies in the territory. The auditor is also after the companies that have not made proof of publication of annual state ments, addressing them as follows: "You were notified some time ago that proof of publication of your general statement, as required by law, must be submitted to this office without further delay. I have allowed you nearly six months time in which to make such publication, and understanding you wished to comply with the law have been willing to assist you in any reasonable way." I now respectfully ask that the above request be complied with on or before July 15 next. Not hearing from you by that time all cer tificates will be withdrawn until such time as the law is fully complied with. 1 also advise you that a circular letter addressed to the newspapers of the ter ritory by Lord and Thomas is mislead ing, and if complied with will probably put you to the inconvenience and ex pense of a new publication."

Shortly after 12 o'clock- last night Officer William Grady was startled by a report from a revolver, coming from the vicinity of Lafayette Avenue park. He rushed to the scene, and on searching the grounds found a man, apparently about sixty-five years of age, with head bent down, sitting on one of the park benches. At his side was a 32-caliber revolver, one barrel of which was dis charged. Davis called the Margaret street patrol wagon, and the man was taken to St. Joseph's hospital, where it was discovered that he had shot himself directly over the right eye, and the in jury will probably prove fatal. His clothes were examined and letters found which proved his name to be George Hartman. who is running a saloon on East Seventh, between Olive and Pine streets. What his motive was in com mitting the rash act is not yet known. He was still alive at an early hour this morning, but his condition was such as to make recovery almost impossible. r-r-v'i A Singular Crime.

Berlin, June 17.— The emperor and empress, accompanied by the dowager Empress Augusta and the grand duke and grand duchess of Baden, and other royalties, visited the Jasper gallery this morning. While they were assembled around the bier of the dead monarch Chaplain Koegal offered a brief prayer. Access to the gallery was prohibited to the public un til the royal party had departed. On account of the want of space it has not been possible to accede to the re quest of provincial authorities for per mission to attend the funeral services in the Friedrichskirche. The only representatives of the Berlin authori ties will be the leading officials iv the ministries and a committee of the chief church council. The obsequies will be gin at 10 a. m. The post mortem examination was con fined to a dissection of the neck, larynx and lungs. In the larynx, which was found to have been destroyed by sup puration, was a cavity about the size of a clenched fist. Dr. Mackenzie states in the report which he prepared at the command of Emperor [Will iam that the disease was beyond doubt, cancer of the larynx. He adds that the diagnosis was rendered very difficult, as the disease attacked the cartilage of the larynx at the outset, and afterwards developed chiefly in the lower part of the cartilage. The National Zeitung says that the autopsy proved that the larynx was COMPLETELY DESTROYED by cancer, and that putrid bronchitis ex isted. There was also inflammation of the finer ramifications of the bronchial tubes, into which putrecent particles had entered. The whole larynx was in a state of suppuration, and presented a soft lumpy mass with scarcely any trace ua. cartilaginous structure remain ing. There was nothing to show the existence of perfora tion of the walls separating the trachea and oesophagus. The choking sensation from which the emperor suf fered during the last days of his life, which was attributed to such a perfora tion, appears to have been really due to collapse of the larnyx owing to the de struction of the cartilage. The direct cause of death is given as paraly sis 7 of the lungs. The post mortem examination occupied one hour. An imperial decree summons the reichstag to assemble on the 25th inst. The emperor received Count Herbert Bismarck to-day. The ceremonies at the CastleFriedrichskron to-morrow will begin with the performance of Bach's "Bald nufst dv Zu Hoehren Frieden." then the choral "Jesus Heine Zuversicht" will be sung, and Chaplain Koegel will offer prayer and bless the remains. After the singing of the chorale, "Wenn Ich Einnial .Soil Scheitlen," the coffin will De carried out of the castle. billing the removal of the body the chorale "E Know That My Redeemer Liveth" will be sang. AH the CHURCHES WEBB CROWDED to-day. The service in the cathedral was attended by Dr. Yon Gossler, min ister of ecclesiastical affairs, and many other high officials. The service opened with singing the fifty-fourth Psalm The litany was read by Chaplain Schroeder, who also preached the ser mon. The public was readmitted to the Jasper gallery to-day after the imperial party had left. Correggio's painting, "Saint Veronica's Veil," is now sus pended at the head of the catafalque, on the right and left of which laurel trees have been placed. The emperor and empress visited the dowager empress, Augusta, at the town castle to-day. Prince Frederick Leo pold of Prussia comes to Berlin to re ceive the royal personages coming to attend the funeral. To-morrow the church bells will toll from 9a. m. until the funeral procession enters the Fried richskirche, and again after the firing of the artillery salute. The person* ages bearing the insignia of the im perial and royal dignities of the de ceased will be as follows: Count yon Stol berg, bearing the imperial crown; Herr Maybach, the scepter; Dr. yon Lucius, the orb; Count yon Schellen dorf, the sword; Herr Friedberg, the great seal; Herr yon Boetticher, the black eagle; Herr yon Gossler, the hal of the prince elector; Herr yon Scholz, the electoral sword. Gen. yon Blumen thai will be IMPERIAL STANDARD BEARER, and will be supported by Generals Mischeke and Wenterfield. The coffin will be removed from the catafalque by twelve officers of the body guard and borne to the funeral car, preceded by the court chamberlain. The ministers of state, bearing the insignia of royalty, will join the procession. Paris, June 17.— Most of the Paris papers regard Emperor William's orders to the army as having a warlike tone, contrasting singularly with the rescripts of Emperor Frederick. Some jour nals, notably the Steele, which has a moderate article, view the emperor's language as merely that of a soldier ad dressing soldiers, and express the hope that Emperor William's proclamation to the Prussian people will be decidedly pacific. St. Petersburg, June 17.— The Jour nal de St. Petersbourg, in an article on the probable foreign policy of the new German emperor, says that he will be guided.no doubt.by the same good sense that characterized the two preceding reigns. It expresses the hope that the memorable words of the late Emperor William on his death bed will be re garded as a sacred legacy by the grand son, to guide Germany's relations with Russia. "These relations can only be improved and consolidated, in view of the deep and sympathetic inter est of all classes in Russia, which have never ceased to show sympathy in the sad trials of the dynasty of a neighbor ins nation." -^ Channcey's First Mistake.
