Bold Bank Robbery at Long view, Tex. Four Men With Winchesters Did tbe Joh. One of the Desperadoes Killed by an Officer. Ob* Citizen Killed and Several Mortally Woaaiisd-A Po.ee In Hot Pop. anlt of the Rest of the Robbera. By the Associated Press. Longvibw, Texas, May 23.—At 3 p. m. today, two rough-looking men walked into the Firat National bank, one with a Winchester. He handed the following note to President Joe Clemmons: Home. May 23. To First National Eank, Longview: This will introduce to yon Charles Specklemeyer, who wants some money and ia going to have it. (Signed) B. and F. G. It waa written in pencil, in a fairly good hand, on tbe back of a printed poster. The bank cashier thought it was an importunate subscription to aome charity entertainment aud started to donate, when the man pointed his Winchester at him and told him to hold up his hands. Tbe other robber rushed into the side door and grabbed the cash. Tom Clemmons and the other bank officials also were ordered to hold up their hands. 'I he robbers hurriedly emptied the vaults, securing $2000 in flO bills, Mo. 9, and nine $20 bills, No. 20, and eeven unsigned Longview bauk notes, which may lead to theirdetection. While thia was going on the other robbers were in tbe rear alley of tbe bank, shooting at everyone who ap peared, and were being fired on by City Marshal Muckley aud Deputy Will Stevens. The firing made the robbers in tbe bank very nervous, and t.w hurried tbe bank officials out aud told them to run to horses and mount. Thia was done in order to keep the posse from snooting, but th 9 bullets flew thick anu fast, and the men tore loose and ran around the corner with several shots after them. George Buckingham, who was shoot ing at tbe robbers, was shot aud killed. Alter he was down tbe robbera sho; at him several times. City Marshal Muckley, who was ■hooting at another robber, received a Winchester bail in the bowals. Thu bail glanced from some silver dollars which he had in his pocketbook, which may save bis life. J. W. McQueen, a saloon keeper, ran out in the alley and was shot in tbe body, and, it ia thought, is mortally wounded. Charles S. Leonard, who was walking through the court house yard, was shot in the left hand. Deputy Will Stevens was not hurt, though he stood at short range and killed one of the robbers. The bankera all escaped unhurt. The robbers who stood guard in tbe alley would yell at everyone who came in sight and shoot at them instantly. When the robbers rode away and saw one of their comrades dead they re marked : "Poor Bennett is dead." The body of the dead robber was iden tified as George Bennett, a reckless fel low, wbo had been here some months ago and had married a daughter of a respectable farmer living near this place, but he left her and went to the Indian Territory. He was dressed like a cowboy, with high heeled boots and spurs, and a belt lull of cartridges and two double-action revolvers. His horse, which was captured, had three rounds of ammunition strapped to the saddle. Another of the robbers, tbe man wbo gave President Clemmons Ihe note, was identified by several here. He married a respectable young lady in Panola coun ty last fall, but later went to Mexico and had not been heard of until today. He was well known here. It is thought Bennett bad a relative in the gang. If so, only oue man remains to be identi fied. Tbe robbers rode rapidly out of town, displaying their firearms and tbe money they secured. The poeße was soon in pursuit aud when last heard of waa only 15 minutes behind them. 'Ihe bank officers offer if-500 for ttieir arrest, dead or alive, and the citizens have added $200. A Hattie With Tramps. Bt. Cloud, Minn., May 23.—1n at tempting to arrest a gang of tramps two blocks from tbe business portion of tbe city this afternoon, Chief of Police McKelvy shot and fatally wounded one tramp, the ball entering the head above tbe left eye. He also shot another trump. Everything goes to go show that the chief shot in self defense. Ole Han sen was waylaid and robbed by their gang shortly before the shooting. Three other tramps of the same gang were ar rested. Great excitement prevails. United Presbyterians. Portland, Ore., May 23.—Two hun dred delegates and visitors to tbeUuited Presbyterian general assembly, which convened at Albany thia evening, ar rived tbis morning on a special train over the Northern Pacific.

The Convention at Washington Con cludes Its Leber.. Washington, May 23.—The Bimetallic league today considered the report of the committee on reeolntiona. As finally adopted they declare the league is unalterably opposed to the the further issue oi interest-bearing bonds; that be fore casting their votes for congress men the members of the league will require assurance of adherence to the free coinage of silver and gold at 16 to 1, and a pledge that if a bill providing for Biieh coinage is passed by congress, and vetoed by tne presi dent, they will work and vote to pass the bill over the president's veto; that it the election of the president is thrown into tbe house they will vote only for the person in favor of free coinage. Tney denounce the present syetom of national banks as the monumental monopoly of the nine teenth century ; recommend the enact ment of a system of currency that will insure a per capita circulation of $50 to be made up by the free coinage of silver and gold at 16 to 1, and tbe issue of treasury notes; that the discontinu ance of the issuance of silver money and the repletion of the treasury by bond issues is burdensome on the masses; declare that it is the duty of the secretary of the treasury to coin tbe bullion now in the treasury and to pay interest on the public debt with silver, and demand the issue of $450,000,000 of non-interest bearing notes of small denominations. A resolution was adopted arraigning congress for legislation, which, it was alleged, burdened the people by bene fiting the creditor plase at the expense of the producing class, the issues of in terest bearing bonds and demonetiza tion of silver being especially de nounced. Speech making was the order of the day. Colonel Fiske of Denver advocated the building by the government of a railroad from Pittsburg to Sin Francisco, and later on to the south, as a means of assisting the people. The convention adjourned sine die after a brief evening session. REVOLUTION IN COREA. A GENERAL UPRISING PREMA- TURELY BEGUN. The Governor of a Province and Forty or Hi. Offlolale Pnt to Ueath. 'ine.e Moldlere Pourin nto the Country. . ■ Vancouver, B. C, May 23.—Mail ad- | vices lrom tbe orient are that the trouble that has been brewing in Corea hae at last taken. dehu.:e shapu and Chinese soldiers are being poured into the country. The first outbreak oc curred at Tsing-L3-Tao. but it was pre mature, through the misunderstanding of arrangements of the insurgent plane by the persons at the head of the move ment at that point. « It had been the intention to have up risings all over the country simultane ously, and co paralyze the officials and get complete control before help could be secured. This break, coming before the general uprising, haa given the clew, and tha insurgents are being ar rested and arms seized at many points. What the effect would havo been had the whole plan worked may be judged from what occurred at Teiug-La-Tao. There were 3000 fully armed men sud denly mustered, and before the guards could recover from their surprise tbe governor's palace was iv their posses sion. No merer waa shown, and the governor and his 40 officials were put to death, the more detested of them baing disgustingly and horribly mutilated. Kefore the troops could be gathered, tbe insurgent* were ou the march to Seoul. To this point 800 Chinese soldiers had been dispatched, but at the date of the dispatch it was feared that, tired by suc cess, the rebels would overcome all op position. Many arrests are being made at King- Ki-To, wiiere another uprising was to have taken place. The rebels are even at this point gathering strength, and it is feared tbat they will set their im prisoned friends free and tire the city. Not much store is set by the Chinese soldiers, who will turn tail if anything like dete: mined opposition is shown. At Yokohama the day the steamer sailed the rtport was received that tbe Coreanß had been subdued with the lons of 700 lives, hut thia could not be au thenticated. The exact amount paid by the king of Corea for the murder of Kirn is ascer tained to he $2000. Kirn's body was buried on the 28th, without the head, that part having boen stolen by friends, who will give it a separate burial, with the usual honors bestowed upon a dead martyr. A Deep Mystery. Guthrie, O. T.,May 23.—A few nights ego settlers in tbe Sue aud Fox country saw tbat the bouse of John O'Connor was on fire, and by hard work ex tinguished the flames. After tbe tire was out tbey discovered tbe body of O'Connor sitting in a chair at tbe supper table with his skull crushed in, by his side the dead body of a strange girl, about 10 years old, with ber throat cut. The motive of O'Con nor's murder is accounted for, as he was known to have money, but the presence of the dead and strange girl makes tbe affair a deep mystery. Xrry iflerce Fighting. New Yokk, May 24.—The Herald's La Liber tad dispatch says: There hae been very fierce fighting since the 15th. A series of desperate battles have been fought. More than 3000 troops have been killed and many mere wounded. Decisive battles are now being fought. DifTtirencnn Settled.

Two hundred and forty men, armed, marched to the mine tbis afternoon for the purpose of compelling the force at work to join in tbe strike. A battle occurred about 5 o'clock between the strikers and those who bave contin ued to work, in which five men were wounded and two killed. For some days past deputy sheriffs have been stationed as guards at the mines, but they were disarmed and driven away by the strikers.

Saratoga, May 23.—1n the Presby terian general assembly today the report of the regular committee on theological seminaries was made the second or Jer lor Friday afternoon. It is expected this report will open up a sharp contro versy in connection with Lane seminary, which asks to be restored to fall ap proval and confidence. Key. Dr. Murkland of Baltimore, a representative of the Presbyterian alli ance and minister of the Southern Pres byterian church, expressed the hope that the time would soon come when the effort to bring back the southern church like a daughter to the mother's bosom would be crowned with snccess. In re ply the moderator cbarged Dr. Murkland to take back to his church the special message that the northern church was longing to be one again with the south ern, adding: "It is a crime for ua to be separated any longer." Prof. George T. Purvis, from the com mittee on board of foreign missions, re ported since tbe last assembly work in volving an expenditure of $1,1)15,0(10. The receipts amounted to $843,411; leav ing a deficit of over $150,000. The aiternoon session was devoted to a variety of interests. The publishing department reported a capital of $428, --000, and net profit for the year of nearly $36,000 on gross receipts of $274,000. Its surplus amounts to $123,000. The Sunday school department re ported receipts $124,000, and expendi tures $135,000, $15,000 more than in 1893. Its balance amounts to nearly $34,000. Eight hundred and seventy Sunday schools have been organized and 48,000 columns circulated during tbe year. Dr. Wilson presented a report on cburch action, showing that applications had been received to the amount of $147,000. The receipts were $107,000, a falling off of $5000 from 3500 entireties. The resources -of the board aggregate $327,000. Flxpenuitnres were $167,000. Aid bad been given to churches which bad resulted In building, the total value of which amounts to $656,000, all of which is secured by mortgages. The value of such mortgages held by the board amounts to $2,000,000. Contribu tions were asked lor the past year amounting to $150,000, and in tbe inter est of the church it was urged that all gifts pass through the hands of the bowl. The commissioners of the Baptist national missionary convention, now in session at Saratoga, appeared to invite the assembly to a joint meeting to be held at a later date. The matter was referred to the committee on corres pondence. The report of a committee on aid to the commissioners show receipts of $101),000 with no contributions from over 1200 churches. Aid was extended to institutions all over the country, but mainly to the northwest. Just before the close of the session the judicial committee presented a report recommending that permission be given to withdraw the complaint of Dr. Fran cis and other members of the prosecuting committee, on the Smith caso in Cincin nati against the synod of Ohio, for af firming the verdict of the presbytery ac quitting Prof. Smith on the fir.it charges, which is now tabled agninet him. This action does not affect at all the hearing of the Smith caee set for tomor row- morning. A meeting was held devoted to the in terests of foreign missions. SOUTHERN PKKSBTTKRIANS.

A Great Army of Organized Want—An other Northern Pacific seized by CommonwealeH. I in Montana. Washington, May 23.—-Repreaenta tive Davis aud Mr. Taubeneck have bsen making a careful estimate of the different bands of Coxeyiteß ou their way to Washington and claim tbat tbere are 5000 men tramping or riding on boats and "borrowed" trains toward the capital. Mr. Davies does not believe in the wisdom or efficiency of the Ooxey move ment, and has written a magazine ar ticle, in which he points out that the movement is a result of currency con traction and summarizes it aa "organ ized want." If tbe government should yield to Coxey's demands, other armies would march on the capital, with other de mands, and tbe result would be gov ernment by the multitude. The remedy for the preaent state of business he finds in the ballot, which he detinea as recorded opinion. "No Coxeyites have come from Kan sas," he said in a conversation on the subject, "because Kansas has expressed herself properly by her elections, and Nebraska, which is largely a Populist state, has contributed not more than 74 men." By imprisoning the leaders, be says, the authorities bave made a swan out of a goose. The chief danger from the movement, be thinks, will develop next fall, when the weather becomes too cold for men oo camp outdoor. Then be looks for trouble. l>in patches received at tbe department of justice from tbe United States court at Montana are to the effect that the Industrials have attempted to seize an other train on the Northern Pacific, west of Helena. As the judicial officers were nnable to cope with the men General Schofield today wired General Merritt at St. Panl to send a sufficient force of troops to tbe scene of disturbance to as sist the United States marshals. Mat ters are reported to be quiet at other points on the Nortuern Pacific. Cheyenne, Wyo., May 23. —Judge Rivers, of the United States circuit court, this afternoon passed sentence upon tbe 15 membera of the Common weal army who were arreated at Coke ville for etealing A Union Pacific train.

She knew she was expressing the gratitude of her sisters to the grand men of this conven tion when she thanked them for the honor tbey had Riven her. Gregg of Alameda produced an im mense ax handle, decorated with green and pink ribbon, aa the staff of the eer geant-at-arms. He thought that officeer would need it, for it waa intended to have peace in thia convention even if it bad to be fought for. Tbe preaentation of the helve created a great deal of amusement.
