cau-

river bridge.Arriving at this place the train nan

stopped and the engineer and fireman wurcordered to leave the cab. Tbo other mem-bers

¬

of the gang rushed from the weedsand boarded the express car. All worn hand-kerchiefs

¬

over their faces. The gangregularly organized and went by numbers.

When the train stopped the conductor andbrakeraan started forward to flud out whatthe trouble was , but the bandtta fired anumber of shots and warned them to keepback. They then compelled the expressmessenger to leave the car and while threeor four stood guard the others proceeded toblow open the safes.

Toe local safe was destroyed and It Isthought that they succeeded In securing con-

siderable¬

money , but the exact amount can-not

was learned that the women's ward ,

containing more than 100 patients , "jad beenleft for weeks at a time with absolutely noattendants whatever. A child was born toone woman who had been confined In theasylum for six years. One patient died un-

attended¬

In his cell. It was shown that thepatient * were huddled Into cramped quarterswithout proper room or attention , whileAmple rooms were retained and set aside forguest chambers tor the attendants and theirfriend * .

The best Information the committee coald-

unless he contracted some disease that wouldmake an examination by the physician neces-

sary¬

, in which case the physician mightdiscover that the roan was sane.-

can reply to Spain's refusals to give up the j

Philippines sets forth , In addition to what ,

was cabled iast night , that the demand forthese Islands Is In lieu of partial Indemnityfor the cost to the United States of thewar vstlmatcd at 163000000. Porto Ricowas not enough. The document repeatsthat the government at Washington Is will-

ing¬

to assume eo much of the PhlCippIncdebt us was Incurred for the bettermentot the Islands. It entern at length Intodefinitions of the shades of meaning of thewotds "control , " "disposition" and "gov-

ernment"-

In the clause of the protocol ap-

plying-

to the Philippines. The whole clausereads : I

"Artlrlo III The United States will ocII

cupy and hold the city , bay and harbor ofManila pending the conclusion of a treaty ,

of peace , which Hhall determine the conII

trol , disposition and government , of thePhilippines. "

The fast part of It , a originally drawnup by the American State department ,

reads ! "Control , possession and govern-

ment

¬

of the Philippines , " but as the Frenchambassador nt Washington , M. Cambon ,

who represented Spain In the preliminarynegotiations for peace , thought the term"possession" too blunt , "disposition" wassubstituted.-

As.

another reason why the United Statesrequires Spain to relinquish the wholearchipelago , the American commissioners j

argue that Spain proved her Inability to '

cope with the insurrection and Incapacity

for governing the islands.The Temps tonight prints a synopsis of

the points of the American reply , agreeingprecisely with what was cabled last night. |

. Switzerland. Nov. 10. The

Italian anarchist , Lulgl Luchessi , who ,

stabbed and killed Empress Elizabeth of ,

Austria on September 10 last , was placed on |

trial here today. The court was crowded ,

and the prisoner -was strongly guarded , but(

there was no excitement. The result ot thetrial Is regarded as certain.-

Luchessl.

bowed politely to the court andthe public and answered the preliminaryquestions , through an Interpreter , In a-clear ,

strong voice. The public prosecutor , in re-

citing the circumstances of the crime , said

there was no clear evidence that Luchesalhad accomplices , except In the fact of theprisoner's own ellencu on certain points.

The evidence of an electrician , a boatman .

and a cabman , ' who assisted hi Luiinaij.l' *

capture , was then taken. t-

Luchessl admitted that he came to GenevaIn order to kill the duke of Orleans , but , he

added , he arrived too late. The prisonerthen remarked that In spite of this the dukeof Orleans would bo killed within a year.

The prisoner also said thot If ho had pos-

sessed

¬

fifty franca on the morning ot theassassination , Instead of killing the empress

of Austria , he would have started for Italywith th Intention of killing King Humbert.-

Ho

.

added : "It does not matter , however.'asanother will kill Humbert shortly. " i

When the full penalty allowed by theSwiss law was imposed upon him , Luchcjsllaughed and cried loudly : "Long liveanarchy ! " and "Death to the aristocracy ! "

A curious feature of the trial was thatwhenever anythlnt; was said tending to

show that he had attempted to deny hisguilt or to escape Its consequences , ho ln-

vorlably

-

Interrupted , openly glorying In thecrime , which , he said , was premeditated.-

He

.

added In one Instance : "I did my utmbstto make the stroke fatal. "

Ho declared his motive was found In-

human suffering. "My doctrino. " he fre-

quently¬

reiterated , "Is that no one who doeanot work should bo allowed to live. "

LONDON , Nov. 10. ( New York WorldCablegram Special Telegram. ) The DallyMall's Vienna dispatch says a fierce duel be-

tween¬

the notorious Ilerr Wolff and thePolish deputy , Chevalier de Gnlewosz , Isthe sensation of the Inur. The cause of theduel was Wolff's remark at Tuesday's sittingof the nelcharath that the Poles were aswarm of parasites sucking tbo life blood ofthe Austrian nation. The Insult roused theIre of the Polish deputies , who rose as a manand made for Wolff. The lattrr was quliklysurrounded by a ring of German deputiesand a sharp tussle ensued between the rep-

resentatives¬

of the two nationalities , In thecourse of which Wolff was badly knockedabout ''by the Poles. When the storm sub-

sided-

Do Gntewosz declared on behalf of thePolish party that they repudiated with scornthe Insults of a street cad like Wolff. WolffImmediately challenged Do Gnlewoaz , whoselected swords. The duel was fought to-

day¬

under llfo and death renditions. Wolffis a journalist by profession , a short ,

slightly built man and lame In one leg. De-

Gutewosz Is a tall , stout man and an ex-

offlcer.-

. When the word of command wasgiven the two deputie commenced a furiouscombat , thrusting and parrying with arapidity which bewildered the spectators.-Do

Gnlewosz , carried away by rage , directedblow after blow at bis opponent. Wolffparried the ex-officer's wild onslaughts withcool judgment and within five minutescaught his rival off his guard and woundedhim In two places. Do Gnlewosz's bead wascut to the bone while a piece of his righthand was hanging by the skin. In spite ofserious injuries and the umpire's commandto cease Do Gnlewosz pressed forwardagainst his adversary , slashing at himsavagely until his own seconds seized anddisarmed him. Ho was removed to hishouse , where he will be confined severalweeks. Wolff sauntered to his office andwrote a leading article.

The election of fusion congressmen In theThird , Fourth. Fifth and Sixth districts IsIndicated by the returns beyond hope of a-

change. .What Dahlman Say * .

J. C. Dahlman , chairman of the demo-cratic

¬

Htate committee , returned to Lincolnyesterday to deliberate upon the returnsfrom the election. In commenting upon theresult ho said : "Of course the great fallingoff in the fusion vote In the state is a cur-

prise-

to me. The result Indicates more thatour people remained away from the pollnthan it does that the republicans have madeany great , gains. I still hold that the fusionstate ticket has becii elected and that tha .

offlclal returns will fthow the fuslonUts still'-In

'

control of the legislature , but by a small !

majority. Should the republicans secure ,

control of the tate It would be due entirelyto the apathy ot the fuslonlsts who felt j

that because we had a good majority inthe state they could remain away from thepolls without affecting the result ma-terially.

¬

. "Frank Burklcy , chairman of the demo-

cratic¬

congressional committee , has this tosay of that portion of the campaign : "Woput up a good campaign and our candidatemade a creditable race. He had as his op-

ponent¬

ono of the most popular mcnin the(

district , with the prestige of a good ma-

jority¬

in hU favor. The chances wereagainst us from the atari , but the vote eastfor Mr. Hitchcock is its own judgment of-

'tho campaign he mode In this district. Inaddition to that there were enough stay-at-homes among the fuslonlsts to have electedMr. Hitchcock bad they come out andvoted , "

The various fusion headquarters in the cityyesterday morning presented as dreary anddevastated an appearance as a prairie farmafter a hot wind. The floors were coveredwith unused campaign documents andpapers , books and papers in endless con-

fusion¬

occupied the desks and the doorswere locked. Peering through the glassone-could see sheets covered with figuresmade during the moments ot enthusiasmwhen victory for the fuslonlsts seemed to bo-

certain. . These figures run up Into five num.here , bat as the sheets'bore the seal ofsome one's heel it is believed they badbeen repudiated at the last moment.

The republican county headquarters werealso deserted and locked. The result of thiscommittee's work bud also been far fromsatisfactory. The county attorney had been
