The Great Northern overland train leaving Seattle at 8:20 Monday night , was held up and the express car dyna mited about five miles from Ballard , at 8:4. > p. m. It was 11 o'clock before the train pulled into Edmonds , and meaner reports were sent to the Seattle ofllcc. Sheriff Smith and a p.osse , armed with rifles , .shotguns and revolvers , and led by trained bloodhounds , went in pursuit of the band of robbers. Two boys who attempted to rob the passengers while the adnlt bandits dynamited the through safe in the express ear are in jail. Mean time it is reported that tho highwaymen obtained a big shipment of gold from the Alaskan mines. The amount stolen is estimated all the way from $2,000 to 9100.000. Three men. well dressed in rain coats and weirmslouch hats , did the work. Conductor ( 'rant's report of the holdup shows that at least seven men were in tiie gang that committed the robbery. The eondvtor believes three or four of the gang were further down the track , but did not take any part , possibly be- can e the train had stopped too soon. When once inside the car the robbers began dynamiting , the first explosion being of six sticks , the second of twelve , and the third of eighteen. No one was injured seriously , although a continual lire of revolvers wns kept up. After securing the contents of the safe the three men started off in an easterly di rection. The train wns flagged and as the engi neer slowed up two or three men climbed over the tender and pointed revolvers at his head. When the train stopped two of the robbers jumped oft , making the engineer and fireman follow , and all marched to the express car door. "Open the door , " the robber commanded the messenger. He refused and the robber placed an extra heavy charge of dyna mite against it , which lie exploded. The explosion tore the car almost to piece1 ? . j The safe was then dynamited. The train was delayed two and a half hours and then was pulled into Edmonds , mak ing a brief report before proceeding to Everett. While the robbers were engaged on the safe , two who had been riding on the blind baggage slipped off and went f through the train , attempting to hold up the passengerThey had no guns , but ' took advantage of the timidity of the passengers while tiic shooting was going on outside. The boys acsert thenever met the holdups until they got on the train and are in no way connected with their work. The idea to hold up the passengers occurred to them after the explosion. i " . . . I. . t ' "NO COAL STRIKE" MITCHELL. Mine Workers' Chief Looks for Har mony in Anthracite Fields. { "I think the sensational stories print- ' ed in many newspapers recently to the effect that there will be a great coal strike next spring are unwarranted. " , said John Mitchell , president of the United Mine Workers of America , wliilo in Washington to see President Roose- ' velt the other day. "As" far as I can ' judge , after having been in the anthra cite coal field for some time , everything will work out harmoniously in the end. "I can see no reason why there should be a general coal strike next spring. I have not seen the railroad presidents who are also presidents of the coal com- ' panies. and I do not expect to hear from them for some time , but I do expect that in time there Avill be a readjustment along the lines on which we are now working. " | Mr. Mitchell said , in response to a suggestion that large supplies of coal were now being stored away in anticipa tion of a strike , that he did not take . any stock in that story. "This is the time of year. " said he , ' 'when coal is always stored in large quantities. " i Mr. Mitchell says the response to his efforts to increase the strength of his organization has far exceeded his expec tations. The coal situation was not dis cussed with the President , he said.

Cuba until the last election pe- doil was moving onward in an order ly , pro.-porous course , and there war. genuine satisfaction in American ad ministration circles over the apparent soundness of the fruit of the tree of independence. The passions of tho people , so easily aroused in other Latin-American republics , seemed in Cuba to he checked by an unexpected Conservatism and a sincere desire to ! j tinvo the world know that the mixed races occupying the island were worthy rtf the gift of freedom. Recent events , however , have shown that the old leaven of unrest and turmoil is still present. The election riots at Cieu- j fucgos have a deep significance , it is j j feared. They were not ordinary rows to pass and leave no after-clfcets when the day of the voting was done. Di rect charger of undue and illegal gov ernment acts for the purpose of up holding its will are made , and the op position party is strong enough , if it lakes the revolutionary bit in its teeth , to throw the island back into the scenes of Civil War which antedated the Spanish-American conflict. " - - Brazilians are like other people in preferring to buy what is fashionable. A special agent of the Department of Commerce and Labor who has been making an inquiry into the cause of the comparatively small trade of the Unit- ed States with Brazil reports that most af the population , "except the very few \vho have traveled in the United States , have exalted ideas as to the greatness of England , France and Ger many , and the 'fashiomiblencss' of us- _ ing commodities produced in those j countries. ' ' They do not yet know in 1 South America that England , France and On-many buy many things from the United States , and that American shoes , for instance , are becoming so popular on the other side that the Euro pean manufacturers are copying Amer ican styles. When they learu this , through the enterprise of the Ameri can manufacturer , the people of Bra zil will begin to regard American goods with as much favor as they re gard those which are made in Europe. " _ _ * The annual report of the Unit l States Commissioner of Education has a chapter bearing upon the libraries of the country in 1903. Only those containing one thousand or more vol umes are mentioned. The North At lantic States contain nearly one-half the libraries enumerated. New York stands first , with 924 ; Massachusetts next , with G24 , and Pennsylvania , fol lows with 491. Thirty per cent of the .libraries and 40 per cent of the num ber of volumes computed for the na tion at large are contained in these Stales. Taking the country as a whole , there is one library , containing at least one thousand volumes , for every eleven thousand six hundred and thirty-two inhabitants. _ j The growth of the rural free deliv ery system continues unabated. On July 1 there were . ,2OoS routes in operation ' , or 7.492 more than at a corresponding ' period last year. To en able ; better handling of the mail the posloliice department is arranging for the numbering of all rural letter boxes entitled ( to service , and authorizing carriers to deliver mail matter address ed ' to boxes by number alone , the same ' as is now permitted in the case of ' posloflice boxes. The boxes will be numbered i in order , beginning with the first I box reached by the carrier after leaving ] tho postotlice , and new boxes ! erected afterward Avill be assigned the j next number in use on the particular route. It is expected that the Postofiu-e De partment will take action to exclude many of the post cards from the mails on account of their Improper charac ter. Some of them that come from foreign countries are decidedly and clearly immoral. The souvenir post card fad has reached astonishing di mensions and the mails are flooded with them. For the most part they are attractive and artistic. The United States Postofilce Department has ruled that any card with writing on the ad dress side must have u two c-ent stamp. _ Nearly every pen manufacturer in America and Europe sent pens to Portsmouth , with the request that the'y he used in signing the lins o- .lapanese treaty , but the "old gray goose" got the honor , after all.

America's greatest battle against the great white plague will be waged within sight of Las Vegas , N. M. The fraternal botiies of the republiceided with the cluuciies. clubs and municipalities into one great humanitarian organization , will , within a few weeks , open a ? 1.000- 000 sanitarium for consumptive biiffurers _ that will be without a peer in the "world. Here in the heart of the region which in all the world is best adapted to the re lief of lung troubles , a quickly recruited army of , ' { ,000 sufferers from pulmonary affections will .start to work out their own salvation along new lines , which , it ia expected , will constitute the path for countless thousands that will follow af ter. ter.The The public has heard little regarding this ambitions project. But the fact that it has been taken unawares does not mean that there has not been thorough study and investigation and preparation back of the big undertaking. On the con trary , no life-saving crusade was ever worked out more carefully , step by step. For a long time pat the darkening cloud of the consumptive plague which has been threatening the nation has appear ed especially menacing to the great fra ternal insurance order . Of late years 40 por cent of the applicants for admis sion have been turned away because of light weight or the taint of the plague. Yet. of the $02,000,000 annually paid out , for insurance , more than $10,000,000 is for deaths' from tuberculosis alone. In other word5 ! , despite all precautions , 10 per ceit of the members are dying from the terrible disease. In an effort to stem the tide of de struction , committees from the big fra ternal organizations have taken steps for the establishment of "Fraternal City , " as the new sanitarium will be known. Churches clubs and municipali ties are being invited to share the bene fits of this unique institution. Any or ganization may send its suffering depend ents to this haven of refuge by merely paying the co-t of transportation and maintenance. The novel community is distinctly not a money-making institu tion. Indeed , the idea is that when farm ing advantage have been secured , the institution will be in some degree self- sustaining. There will be several gateways of ad mission to the Fraternal City. Wealthy individuals who have donated lump sums will eacli have the privilege of send ing patients , irrespective of their rela tions with fraternities and churches. At the outlet , howeverthe greater portion of the patients will come as the guests of the fraternal orders which Aave con- tributod to the general fund. Each order 1selects stricken men and women from its membership to the extent of its quota , and such individuals are under no per sonal expense at the sanitarium , the cost of maintenance in each case being charg ed against the organization which sends the patient. If only the fraternal in surance orders become parties to the plan to tax each member 12 cents a year for' the maintenance of the sanitarium , the income will be nearly $000,000 a year , an.l from 1-00 to u,000 persons can ba cared for free , whereas if other fraternal societies and the churches co-operate to any great extent , as is now indicated , the magnitude of the work will be greatly broadened. BUMPER CORN CROP CERTAIN. Continued Favorable Weather Assure * Maturing ; of Grain. The weekly crop bulletin of the weath er bureau summarizes crop conditions as follows : The weather conditions of the week as a whole were exceptionally favorable to agricultural interests. Under the in fluence of warm and generally dry weather throughout the central valleys , lake region and Atlantic coast districts late crops matured rapidly. Florida and portion of thecentral gulf districts suf fered injury from excessive rains , while much needed rains fell in the Rocky Mountain and North Pacific coast reg ions. The middle and South Atlantic States and southern Texas are in need of rain. Frosts occurred in the mi'ldle Rocky Mountain di.-tricts and in the upper Ohio valley , lower lake region and northern portion of the middle At lantic States , but caused no serious in jury. jury.Highly Highly favorablr weather prevailed throughout the principal corn States. An exceptionally large and fine yield of corn is now assured over much of the greater part of the corn belt , and only a very bir.all part of the crop in the north cen tral portion , estimated at from 2 to 5 per cent of the total , remains expscd to injury from frosr. and this is matur ing rapidly. The crop in Missouri was extensively blown down or lodged , but notwithstanding this and the damage by September floods the yield in that State will be very heavy. These are days in politics when skim toilk passes for rich cream. Atlanta has about concluded to try the municipal ownership of Mayors. In the government printing office thej seem to have many other machines be sides tho e used for setting type.
