If this oxprojsion Is sincere Mr. Unifour
simply ignores the course of events In every

that the covorntnents rollnpscd Ihrouuh the

A close scrutiny of the text of the Irish

Perry , the train robber In Jail at Lyons. llo
told tbo story of both robberies. Of tbo last
ona ho soldi
"four days previous to tbo last Job I was
lu Syracuse. In tha evening of Ibo robbery
I wont to tbo theater and enjoyed
mvsclf as well as I could. About
midnight I wont down to the depot and
hung around until Mo. Ill came in. This Is
the train 1 robbed. 1 watched the messen
ger's ' car and saw tboro was a s.ifo In each
end , partly under the freight , and ona nearer
the door. I know the safes In Ibo end con-
lamed money anil was xura tbnro waa some
money In the othor. I did not know Messen
ger Mclnorney , although 1 had seen him once
or twlco. As the tram was ready to pull out
I made a circle around the tracks and getaway
away out ot tbo oloctrlo hirbt and on tbo opposite -
posito sldo of Iho train from the depot.
Mounted tlin Our.
"Tho express pulled out , and when It
reached the freight yards was going , nbout
twelve miles an hour. I Jumped on tbo car
ahead of the messenger's , as I did not care
to wait for him. I crawled ever the first car
nnd onto the platform at Iho head and ot Me-
Inernoy's ' car. 1 strapped my vnliso to ibo
railing and with an end of Ibo strap at-
lachcd my derby hat through a hole In the
sweat band to the railing. Then I took
from mv satchel my musk and tied
II around my neck. I took out my rope lad
der , n kind ot lire cscapo. invention of mlno ,
nnd attached thu hook to Ibo car on Iho oppo
site sldo. I strapped Iho big fronllor re
volver , which I always carry , through my
eartrldtro bolt and then through my overcoat.
The other revolvers I put In my overcoat
within easy reach In case I dropped the big
ono. I got upon the platform ratling , and
pulling my hands on the roof swung off Iho
car. 1 allaehod the hook to the roof of the
car and poeliod ever tbo cdgo to sco If tbo
messenger bad taken any tilarm. IIo was
all right ; and I swung down my rope ever
the edge.
Nnrrouly Kseiipnl Dentil.
"Both hands were free , ntul 1 tried to bold to
the cdgo of the door , but tlio train was going
fifty miles on hour , and I several times was
blown from Iho sides of the car , and once I
narrowly missed n brldgo. 1 looked ahead at
Iho limn , and could sco obstructions by tbo
light from the locomotive. I were kid gloves
and my hands became so numbed with
the cold that when I drew my big
revolver 1 could not cock It. I rubbed
my hands for a while and slapped my sides
with ihom until I got up the circulation of
blood. Wbllo doing so I looked throucb Iho
glass pane and saw Ibo messenger's face
near Iho door. IIo did not SOQ mo. When I
got iusldo the car I leveled my gun at Me-
Inornoy , and as I did so ho raised his revolver
ver and leveled It at me. Ho ducked hl.s
head as I fired and tbo bull grazed bis fore
head. Ho dropped bis rovolver'atid rushed
for tbo boll cord.
"When ho had pitljod the cord twicer and
without attompllng to pull it a tblrditlmo 1
fired and shot him ii : the arm. IIo stopped
over lo where his gun lay ou Ibo floor ana us
ho reached for It paid no attention to my
command to throw up his bands.
Mudo No Attempt ut ICeHlHUmro ,
"I fired again , tbo ball striking him in the
leg. 1 stopped down , and fpoliug around on
tbo floor authored some way bills nnd paper *
'
nnd putting them in a pile struck a 'match
and , throwing it upon the " pllo of papers ,
quickly stopped to ono" side expecting
him to blao awav and "biff" mo. 13ut as
the papers blazed up and I looked around I
could not ECO bun uiiywhnre. Oil the floor
lay his gun half cocked. IIo had not fired u
shot. I took moro express bills nnd throw
thorn on the blazing pllo and then climbed
ever Iho express mailer nnd found Ibo mes
senger bldlni ; in lha end of tho-car. I saw
there was blood on his hands and on his face
where ho bad wiped It with his
hands. The moment I saw him I com
manded him to light the lamps. 'Yes/
said bo , 'I'll do anything you
say if you will not kill mo. ' Ho said ho was
u poor boy and thought a great deal of his
position and tried to do his dutv. I told him
J bad no intention of killing biro , but that bo
should have done as I told him. I told him
to shut tbo door. Ho bc un groaning and I
asked him if I had hurt him badly. Ho said ,
'Not bad , but for God's ' sake -don't shoot
again. I'll ' do anything you ask' , "

CmcAoo , 111. , Feb. 'J5. A short time ngo
the gonori'1 tr.lungers of the roads interested
in ICansr niiflic hud a conference with the
rnllron otnmlsslonurs of Kunsus relative to
the c , r reducing freight rates of fifth-class
in that stato. The result was u compromise.
On condition that the order should
not bo enforced , the genera ! managers
agreed to mnlto u liberal reduction In through
rates from Chicago to ICimsas points ou such
commodities as sugar , colTuo , beans and
canned goods. The proposition was to mnko
the ruto on sugar lo Sallna , Hulchinson ,
Wicbllu and Arkunxas City in cents per 100
pounds above the Kuntas City rate , and ou
cotToo , beans and canned goods as follows :
To Salina , H'-i cents ; Hutchison and Wichita ,
25 cents , and to Arkansas City , 28 cents.-
Thu railroad nommlsnlonors consented to
Ibis arrangement nnd It 'was supposed the
whole matter was settled , but the innnngorH
make the mistake of assuming that I hey
were actually the managers of , , their own
linos. They have slnco bonn reminded
that Chairman Mldgloy of the Western
assoslutlon has something to say about
tbo matter , A protest ugalnH the pro
posed reduction has beep made , by certain
inombors whose lines do not extend beyond
tbo Missouri river , but who were compelled
to reduce their pioportions of through
ruto under the now arrangement , Th y coil-
tend that the Kansas roads had no right lo
enter Into an agreement involving a ubangu
in rates without notifying Chairman Mldg
loy In advance ot their intention to pr'ocood
lu the manner provided by .the--rules und

\VASUI.MITOX , 1) . C. , fob. ! J.V Tno demo-
crntlo members of the houiu mat In confer
ence tonight , pursuant to n cnll Issued by
uoprosnntativo Holman < chairman of ibo cau
cus , for ibo purpose of considering the fol
lowing resolutions , which are now published
as submitted to Ibo caucus , having bcoa re
vised slnco tbo request for tbo call was circu
lated by Mr. Hartor of Ohio :
llcsolvod. That wo uro In favor of the con
tinued IIHO of both go tl mid silver as money ,
nnd that we tin ) unalterably opposed to any
legislation which Will drive either mutul out
of Kcncrnl circulation ,
Unsolved , That In Justice to the dnmocratlo
parly and with dueuunslunrnllon of the min
eral business , Industrial and ( Itiatielul Intcr-
psts or the nation , wu deem It the duly of
democratic inomhursnt the I'ltly-necotul con
gress to defer nny dullnltu notion on the Hill- )
Jnctuf fron colimcn until tlm question of Its
wisdom nnn Justice Is distinctly made plain In
ihu elections of 18DJ.
Tbo call continues : "Wo ask you further
to Invita tbo domouratla members ot the
souato to thin conference. " It was a wet
night for a caucus or a conference , its It was
called , and members catno to the capital
rather slotvly , so lhai It was S o'clocit In
stead of 7JO : ! when Chairman Holtnnn culled
Ibo caucus to order. At that time many of
tbo inombors bad arrived and tha caucus
was very well attended.
KnmtorH Take I.lttlo Interest.
If Mr. Hartor thought the Invitation to the
democratic senators to bo present would bo
generally accepted bo was mistaken , for Mr.
Butler of South Carolina was the only sena
tor present. A number of the leading demo
cratic senators wcro naked during the day if
they intended to attend tbo conference. All
declared they would not do so , and that they
bad enough to occupy them with affairs on
their sldo ot the capital.
The usual rule limiting speeches in the
caucus to live minutes was adopted.
Mr. Ilartcr open oil thai roccedlngs with a
speech in which ho stated thu object In vlow
when ho circulated thu call for the caucus.
In accordance with n program which had
been outllnoil at a conference between
Messrs. Bland , Pierce , Lanham , Robertson
nnd ether earnest , frco silver men , the ques
tion was put to the antls whether or not
they would , iprcn to bo bound by the caucus
proceedings. After some little discussion It ,
was agreed that the conference should not beheld
held as binding upon nny ono , and that members -
bors should bo free to vote as they chose. In
stating the object of the caucus Mr. Hartor
made a speech against tbo advisability of
passing a free coinage bill.
Wanted it Ditto I'lxed.
Mr. Bland of Missouri then offered n reso
lution instructing tbo committee on rules to
brniK In a special report ordering. March 23
as the data on which tbo silver bill should bo
taUon up , discussed and kept beforetbo
house until finally acted upon.
Against this resolution Mr. Wnvnor raised
a point of order , claiming that under the call
in response to which tbo members were
present the resolution could not bo consid
ered.
The point of order was promptly overruled ,
nnd no appeal was taken after this decision.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Bland ,
iSryon of Nebraska and Hooker of Missis
sippi In favor of Bland's resolution.
Mr. 'Williams ot Massachusetts spoke in
opposition' to the resolution , declaring it
would bo disastrous to the democratic party
in the onst'if adopted. Ho appealed to the
southern member * to stand by the eastern
democrats , who , ho said had stood by tbo
south against the elections bill.
Mr. Fowl'ir of Now JOMO.V in his soocch
surprised many ofthoso present by the
earnest manner in which Ii9 advocated "action
on the resolution. Ho said the assertion that
Now Jersey could not bo curried on a free
silver platform plunk was untrue. Now
Jersey was a democratic state regardless of
the silver question. Ho bad carried his dis
trict by an increased majority with a free
silver plank In the platform.
Urged Delay.
Mr. Herbert urged delay In considering
tbo silver question und thought that the In
terests of the party would bo served by not
passing tbo silver bill now.
Mr. Pioi'co answered these who assorted
that free silver would hurt the democratic
party. Ho maintained that frco coin
age wai strong with tbo people
end would gain thn party votes.
Ho contrasted tbo Cleveland vote In
1884 with that of 1S8S. With a liberal
silver plank in ISSt Cleveland had carried
Now Yorlt , Now Jersey and Indiana. In
16SS with n hostile silver plank bo had lost
Now York and Indiana. In 18S4 ho had cut
down the majorities in Wisconsin , Minnesota
seta and Iowa to small proportions , and In
1SS8 bo lost these stetos by largo majorities.
If a free ullvor bill were passed bo usscrtcd
that the result would bo largo gains for the
democrats , especially in the west. West
Virginia , North Carolina nnd Virginia were
all clojo states In which the party would
stand a chance of losing tbo presidential elec
tion if Ibo pooplo's demand for free colnneo
were not mot.
Messrs. Wilcox of Connecticut , Lynch of
Wisconsin , English of Now Jersey and Mu-
Klnnoy of Now Hampshire made speeches
against the Bland resolution.
Delmte < ! rmv Tiresome.
The debate grew somewhat tiresome , and
as It was evident thatnny conclusion reached
would not bo binding , members were In favor
of adjournment. Mr. Outcs of Alabama , a
free coinage ) man , moved to ndjourn. Ho
said that the unti-frco comago men had
stated that they would not bo bound by tlio
caucus action. Ho had assurances that the
committee o , . rules would , If tbo resolution
were not adopted , bring In a rule making the
Bland bill n special order. Ho saw no nil-
vantugo to bo gained by n row among the
democrats. It was evident that the frco
coinagu men were In tha majority , but no
good could como of forcing a voto.
A .split occurred among the free colnngo
men over the motion to adjourn , omo favorIng -
Ing a caucus adoption of tlio Bland resolu
tion , It was finally decided , however , to ad
journ , by a vote of eight to fifty-live.
Mr. Plorco started to Insist on tbo yeas
and nuya being ; called for the motion for tha
purpose of putting these present on record ,
but at tbo personal request of Mr. Bland ,
withdrew the motion.
Tbo result ot tbo caucus seems to bo that
the silver question Is loft Just about where It
WUH before ib'o caucus was held. The silver
men evidently bolng in a majority , but the
minority being unwlHIntr to bo bound by
caucus action. This laavos tbo matter with
the rules committee to decide whether u spe
cial order shall bo brought In.
Members of too committee huvo assured
tlio silver inon such an order will bo made
nnd then 'all members of the house uro free
to vote iii they see lit on the adoptioa of tbo
report of tbo rules committee.

Special lo TUB BKR.J Wo hnvo received bad
news from Berlin. It scorns that the speech
of the emperor has produced a deplorable
effect. Yesterday at midday the mounted
police charged au Immense crowd of work
men who worn massed In front ot tbo cn tlo
hissing the emperor untl the soldlnrs. Such
a sight was never before seen In Berlin. The
police arrested n number of the workmen ,
At 5 o'clock last evening the trouble began
again at the Brandenburg gnlo , which Is the
principal entrance to tbo city. Tbo shops
wore closed in consequence of the disturb
ance. The Kolchstag and the deputies are
In qulta a stnlo of excitement.
Last night the trouble prow moro serious.
In the pastern part of the city the police
closed all the public establishments. The
mob mudo n demonstration ootoro the Wall-
nor and Uosldcr.co theaters. It broke into
stores and throw the goods into the street ,
sinking "Tho Marseillaise. " Tbo police
came upon the scene und charged the mob
with the greatest brutality , wounding quite a
number In the crowd and nuking prisoners
of dozens.
The whole political world Is in a ferment
I'Mo deputies are at their wits' and. The
socialists assort that the police are responsi
ble for the troubles , because they cxcltocl
them. There Is n feeling that the emperor Is
In danger.
Nu Cnlilnul Yet.
Wo nro still without a ministry. This
fact , which at the llrst blush has a humor
ous aspect , shows that Franco is in u worse
muddle than wo bad imagined. No pnrty
seems willing to lend a helping baud
to another party. No statesman will
consent to the lo.ist sacrifice. Altogether
the stnto of affairs ts deplorable. When the
crisis ends wo may draw the moral which ,
I fe.tr , will hardly redound to the prestige of
Franco.
A snmmiirv of the speech which tbo little
emperor of Germany yesterday delivered in
Berlin will have reached you , It has amnzod
the political and diplomatic world. A
monarch who publicly announces Unit it bis
subjects do not like bis ideas they had hosi
omlgrato Is a novelty in the history of civili
zation. If the ompuror really favors omlgra-
tlou , why docs Ibo ( Jorman government oppose
Itl The imperial speech sots ono tlilnulni :
of tbo persecution of the Protestants by
Louts XIV. Nothing could bo moro startling
than the little emperor's wajof referring to
God In his address. His tone suggests that
he Imagines himself tno equal of the Deity.
1 should not lllto to force conclusions , but I
cannot refrain from reminding the Herald ot
the anxiety felt by the emperor's doctors ,
three months ngo , when I referred to the
mailer. Ills Impossible , however , to attach
deep Importance to tbespcocb , which has not
caused much alarm. To discuss such .in ut
terance seriously would bo mere waste
of tlmo. But us the ompcror
seems convinced that God Inspires
till his actions , it Is of course on the cards
that some day wo may hoar tlmt God has put
war Into his head. Europe may yet beset
uflamo by this sad and disquieted imperial

speech , made at Brandonbure yesterday , in
tensely oxcltcs political critics. It being bold
by some thai a dangerous crisis Is Inevitable.
It is reported that when the sectarian educa
tion bill In tbo Prusslau Diet reaches the
Oberhuus Prince Bismarck , at the head of
the strongest party over known in Germany ,
will oppose the crovornmcnt.
The Vossleho Holtung observes that if all
tbo discontented lofl the country , us they
nro advised lo do by Ibo emperor In his
speech , tlio adherents of Prlnco Bismarck
would bo included among them. The Vos-
slcbo Zeitung says ; ' % Tbo great employers
of labor who are dissatisfied with labor , and
ngrlnulturlsls injured through thu now
treaties , would also go. Nobody would bo
loft but Catholics. "
The Tagoblntl reminds Germans that the
constitution concedes to every ono liberty to
express his opinion ,
The socialists' Journal , the Vorlwartz ,
says it declines for thu socialists tbo em
peror's invitation to emigrate , adding : "Tho
