LYNCHING AT COURTHOUSE CASE OF MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING Idle Talk of World Alliance Against Uncle Sam. Hi IMPRACTICABLE Europe Would He Starved On . The common opinion among state de partment people about this suggested anti-American alliance is that unless Europe can find a source of food supply cheaper and more convenient than the United States, there is not likely to he an alliance for covering a scheme of land acquisition in South America for any other undertaking involving no one can tell what complications, with Euro pean disturbance as the outcome of a hastily devised plan to arrest the expan sion aud prosperity of the United States.

America’s Assertion of the Monroe Doctrine Calculated to Create More Alarm Ia South America Than In Tills Country. Washington, April 23.—Very little serious interest is manifested here in the London report suggesting the possi bility of a world alliance against the United States for the reasons set forth by Admiral Count Cauevaro of Italy. There have been discussions of the re port among diplomatic scholars in the departments and in the army and navy, but most of those who have discussed the suggestions speak of them as idle SURRENDER OF FILIPINOS OGDEN PARTY AT TUSKEGEE Lars to Number Swear Allegiance United States.

The commissary investigation is pro- and sensational, being not probably as indicating an experiment of the alli ance practicable, if really proposed to be undertaken. It is a.-sumed that there are foreign politicians aud statesmen who have re garded with disfavor America’s asser tion of the Monroe doctrine, while this government is acquiring territory in the West Indies aud in Asiatic waters, the obvious cause of the European dis satisfaction being the inhibition by that doctrine of continental invasion aud ac quisition of South American territory. Would Cause Great Tumult. To those American officers who know how free from desire to acquire South Amo.lean territory is the administra tion, and probably the great majority of the people, this report is regarded ns calculated to create more alarm in Soutu America than here. For if any of the South American countries obtained the impression that Germany, France or Italy, in consequence of the importance of their interests in certain South Amer ican countries, were disposed to try their colonizing experiment after grab bing territory, the first bint of such a purpose would lead at once to an ar rangement that would involve not only the invaded country but the whole con tinent in a controversy with the conti nental alliances. That distrust of the United States that has sometimes been manifested in Chili, Argentina, Venezuela and other South American republics would be for gotten in the event of auv appeal to the Monroe doctrine, with the probability that the commercial interests of the in vaders would be injured so badly that it would take years to overcome the dam age wrought in a very brief campaign o: occupation and colonization. gressing.

Montgomery, Ala., April 24.—The people of Alabama voted yesterday on the proposition to call a convention to assemble in this city on May 21 to re form the constitution of the state to the needs of the present day. An exceed ingly light vote was polled throughout the state, but the returns indicate that perhaps five-sixths of the counties voted in favor of a convention being held. The principal reforms which the con vention has in view are the suffrage, the courts, the terms of public officers aud the abolishment of so much local legislation. No definite program has been mapped out by auv faction of in fluence and the convention will neces sarily be in session some days before the drift of sentiment can he obtained. There has been apathy in every coun ty in the state, so far as reports go. Fifty-five delegates from the state at large were elected aud 100 from the counties, each county being allowed so many delegates as it has members in the house of representatives. There will in no event be exceeding four or five Republicans or Populists in the convention. You will waste nine if you fry to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by starving yourself.

As he opened the door he found himself staring into the barrels of two revolvers and two shotguns and saw four men standing on the platform. He was grabbed- by one of the robbers, and his pistol, which he carried in a belt around his waist, was taken from him. About this time the train began to slow up aud came to a full stop. Then shooting began. Two men who had boarded the rear end of the second car captured Sidney Drew, the train porter, and made him uncouple at that point. The engineer and fireman had been taken care of by this time. Two of the robbers mounted th6 engine cab and forced Engineer Johnson to pull the baggage and express cars about half a mile. The place where the cars stopped is in the midst of a dense canebrakeaud 10 or 15 miles from any habitation. The track is raised 15 feet above the sur rounding country. When the engine stopped George Ward, a boy who had .been riding on the blind baggage, sprang off and started into the woods. A shot from one of the robbers brought him back to the train. Command Promptly Obeyed. Then “Open the local safe, or we will kill youl” was the order given to the messenger by one of the robbers, who seemed to be the leader. He was very calm, while the other three were very much excited and worked like amateurs. The messenger obeyed, and one of the men, who carried a sack, placed all the contents of the local safe in it. “Now, you and the kid get into the car ahead,” was the next order. Mea der did not seem to move fast enough to suit the robber who had him in charge, so he delivered a few blows with the heavj" revolver he carried. After the messenger was in the other oar the rob ber continued to beat him, the messen ger says, until he was badly bruised. He received a bad cut over the right eye. With Nitro-Glj’cerine. One robber stayed to guard the two prisoners, the other two joining their comrades in the express car, where tney were at work on the through safe, which was locked and conld not be opened un til Little Rock was reached. They had about a pmt of nitro-glycerine aud poured it in the cracks of the sate. When everything was ready, all left the car and the explosion followed. It was a complete success, for the door of the safe was blown off and hurled 20 feet away, striking a tree trunk and smash ing it. The robbers re-entered the car, and it was but the work of a few mo ments to transfer the contents of the safe to the sack. Everything wa3 taken. The robbers then jumped off and with a few parting shots disappeared into the cauebrakes. The engineer ran back to the rest of the train and as soon as the coupling was made started as fast as possible for Edmiston, 12 miles away, the next tele graph station, where the affair was re ported to superintendent John H. Harris. The superintendent immediately wired to the convict camp at Hnlbert, £ miles this side of the scene of the hold-up, asking that the bloodhounds there be placed on the trail of the bandits. Re wards will be offered. Story of the Messenger. Messenger Meader, in relating his ex perience, said: “I started to the other cat, and upon opening the door found two pisiols and two guns pointed in my face. I threw up my hands and one of the robbers searched me, taking my pistol. About this time the train stopped, and later, when we had uncoupled and run ahead, I was made to open the local safe with my keys. I was then ordered into the car ahead and heard them blow open the safe. They beat me with their pis tols just for pastime. I did not care to get shot. I saw'six of the men and all j were masked. They appeared to be ! young men, and all were excited but one, who seemed to be the leader.” Sidney Drew, the porter, lives in Memphis. He is shot in the thigh and may die. He refused to uncouple the train when first commanded to do so • and one of the robbers fired at him. The Choctaw officials will co-operate with the express company and will spare no expense to capture the bandits. Temple of Justice Invaded by a Jlob In Tennessee.

Raleigh, April 23.—During the past 20 years this state has expended for white schools aud school buildings $7,- 310,764, and for negro schools and school buildings $4,091,139. Then it has ex pended for the pay of county superin tendents and for various other objects common to both races $3,823,5: : 4. The total is, therefore, $15,225,668. Yet more, the state has expended $102,000 for ne gro normal schools, beginning with $2,- 000 a year, while now the amount is $14,000 annually.
