WASHINGTON , Aug. 13. France
pr.iutic.illy has completed the harvest
ing of her wheat at about the time
when It usually begins , and it is no'
longer doubtful that there will be a'
very serious shortage. This informa
tion is conveyed to the state depart
ment in a roiKirt from Consul General
Skinner at Marseilles It is the lirra
belief in some quarters , say * the con
sul general , that France will have to
become again an importing nation of
this commodity and the country \\ill
have to look abroad during the coming
year for about Hfty million bushels.
About twenty million bushels of soft
wheat to make up this shun ago is ex
pected to come from the 1'ir'ed ' States
provided prices keep slightlj under oren
on ; v par with those of Ituisian wheat.

us train N'o. 3 , due here lit 0:30 : u. in *
was robbed at Caney .Switch , I.T.nb
1.0. " o'clock thin morning by live masked - j
ed men The express car was blown
open , tin ; Hufo wrecked and the mall '
Hacks rilled. All the passengers were
rohlied or their money.
Cani'y , ihu place where the robbery
occured , IK a sidetrack thirty-nine
miles north of Dcrilson. It IK in the
( Jhoctaw nation of the Indian terri
tory , and the population surrounding
UieKUitloti Is only 125. The train
does nut Htop at Caucy except on Hlg-
nal , and the proper signal was given.
The engineer whistled his reply to the
slk'nal , and the train slowed down for
the stop.
Instead of the hurried signal to go
ahead , tin ; engineer and llrctnan were
confronted by two men with faces
veiled In black netting. About the
same time the express messenger and
mall clerk were communicated with
through closed doors of their car.
Three of the robbers shot wildly and
then the call went to the messenger
and clerk ;
"Open up , here , open up , and don't
be too slow about It "
TltltlSATKN TO I1I.OW Ul' CAIt.
When there was no reply from with
in the robbers again called out ; "Open
the door or we will blow It open and
blow you to hell. "
There was no response to the second
end call , and the tiring again began.
Fully twenty shots were discharged.
Still there was no response , and the
three men prepared a small blast of
dynamite tignlnst the car door. In
tlie meantime the shooting had awak
ened the passengers. At this moment
tne conductor , brakfniari and porter
ran back into the train and announced
that the train was being held up.
The passengers tried to hide their
money and valuables. .Just , then the
dynamite was exploded , it was a
small charge and was intended more
for Irlglit tnan anything else.
A larger blast of dynamite was pre
pared and exploded. This did the
work. It tore the side off the car. The
robbers leaped through the opening
and the frightened messenger had
nothing to do but accept his orders.
He was overpowered and narrowly es
caped being tori into ahreds He was
ordered to open the safe , but could
not do so , as the combination was at
tiie end of the run. i
The robbers then put a charge of
dynamite to the safe and blew itopen.
They dcmollhhed the safe but gotonly
SI oO , as the money had all 'been left
at Mubkogee , to be picked up by the
territory by day.
I'ASSBNOKllS roilCKD TO DELIVKU
The me.ssenger and clerk were forced
tj assist the bandits in their work.
Every mall pouch was emptied and
tlie mail considered valuable was tak
en. Then , with Postal Clerk Tulley
holding an empty mall sack , the rob
bers went through the coaches and
robbed every passenger They getS
S fcO in one coach. A negro who re
fused to give up. ills money was se
verely beaten. The passengers were
compelled to throw their valuables in
to the pouch.
Superintendent Sam Gaines , of the
railway mail service , .viys he does not
j believe the robbers got much money
out of the mail pouches.
After the work was done the rob-
b rs , who seemed to enjoy the situa
tion , sat around and laughed over the
matter and one even went back into
the car to get something After holdIng -
Ing the train two hours the robbers
left , going cast into the dense bottom
timber for which the tortuous Caney
I creek is noted The trainmen cut the
j wrecked express car and ran down to
i Caney station and advised officers up
and down the road. Within two hours
'
passes uf United States marshals with
| b Dodliounds were on the trail.
Tha express company says that it
lost nothing and the conductors esti-
maaos ihe passengers' losses at about
$400 , not counting jewelry. Tne rob
bers gave Knsrineer Lanham a diamond
mend ring and shirt stud.
Both afe.s were demolished by the
explosion and the car is a wreck.

Aug. 15. Five men
were burned to death , four were
drowned , three and possibly four were
suffocated and hcvetal Injured ax the
renultof a lire which destroyed a tem
porary waterworks crib two miles oil
the Cleveland harbor yesterday.
HKKK HATKTY IS Till' WATKIl.
Twenty-six men obeyed the order of
Manager G. C. Van DUIIKCII when the
llameH broke out and took refuse In
the water on lloatlng pieces ofvreck -
[
age. Four of them lost their hold up 1
on the frail Mom , and Hank beneath
the waves Just as help reached their
comrades , '
Tne rew of the tug .J II. Sprankle j
heard the lire whistle blown from the [
crib and raced to the ccene from the
harbor. She picked up eighteen of
the survivors who had drifted to the
west of the crib on their lloat of
boards and wreckage.
Van Denscn and three of his men
were hanging In the water from a
two-inch line .suspended from the crib ,
Just as the line was burning away
above the men's hands a yawl boat
from the barge \Vllhelm , manned by
two men , dashed Into the veil of heat
and suvke that enveloped thccrlband
rescued the four men on the rope at
the risk of the boatmen's lives. Tlie
men picked up In the water were' '
brought to the city on the tug Spran- '
kle. They were naked , exhausted and
and badly burned Many of them
were cut by falling timbers.
The crib Is a total loss. It was a
frame building , 20x50 feet , the sides
sheathed with Iron. It contained val
uable machinery It Is now a charred ,
shapeless mass of wreckage and rnln-
g'ed with the blackened timbers are
blackened , rusted and twisted pieces
and plates of iron and steel.
The crib and machinery were the
property of Shailer & .Schnlnglau , con
tractors. ! Their loss will exceed S200-
000.
TUOS OO TO TMK Illl'-CUK.
Fire and harbor tugs with rescuing
parties on board reached the crib soon
after the Humes broke out , but when
they arrhed the structure was a
seething mass of flames and all hope
for saving it was > abandoned
Men , stark , naked , could be distin
guished swimming and lloatlng In the
water and shouting for help Others
were clinging to ropes which they bad
tied to the rafters but the flames
were burning the ropes away and one
by one the men were falling into the
lake. The tugs circled around the
burning crib , picking up men from
the water and in the meantime play
ing heavy streams upon the flames.
After an hour's hard work the flames
were extinguished enough so that the
Bremen could climb up the charred
steps and tia'ht the tire from the in
terior. !
Then the horrors of the calamity
were first realized Everything was
a total wreck While the firemen
were pouring water on the flames
there was a roarinu furnace beneath
which could not be reached. But the
firemen cluns to their places and
fought every inch of the way until the
fire was under control After two
hours of hard work live charred hu
man bodies were found burned beyond
recognition Two were in the atti
tude of prayer. They must have
been awakened by the fire , but could
not escape. They wvre caught like
rats in a trap. Une body was burned
to almost nothing. All that could be
1 found was a skull and some bones.
' The bodies of two other men lay close
I to those that were on their knees and
It looked as though they never knew
what happened to : them
As soon as the five bodies were found
the tug Kennedy notified the coroner
tier of the discovery While this was
goini : on strenuous effort were being
put. forth to reach the men imprisoned
in the tunnel , whose air iupply had
apparently been stint oil entirely by
the burning ot the compressed air
machinery At times it was thought
that no life could exist below How
ever , It was thought noises were heard
below , but the sounds ceased again.
At- the mouth of the shaft it was like
a furnace and the iron work was red
hot from the flames The water that
woh thrown on it turned Intosteatu at
once.

and Milwaukee appointed today as

they count on favorable action at Mil
waukee today , and , carrying their
hopes still farther , say that they will
yet win Chicago over. These success-
e- > they declare , with apparent confi

The steel operators , on the other

that when the ebb comes it can never !
be stopped They do nut seeiu to be '
