Saturday night, the tl.om having bail femsnded on threats of hold-up an annnymoua Inter received at Cblcego ten daya ago. As aoon aa tha Rock Inland learned of Knglneer Irona' experience tha officers Immediately arranged to maka up ond special, and gathering a fore of armed torn. sent tha train west to Pex ter. From Pexter returned to tha ptxce nesr Karlham where tha torpedo were exploded, and tha men with arma and blood hounda concealed themselves tha limber along tha Una between tha two towns. In iht hop of discovering tht crlmlnala.

It was aoon af'er tha arrival there of tha special i bat a section man walking tha track took a shot at a stupldou character who waa found akulklng along tha right of way. It waa aald afterward that tha fellow waa a "hobo." The offlcera and tha blood hounda malned In tha timber at Earlham night, ona of tha offlcera returning to tha city on No. 8, which waa an hour lata. to report to Eupertnte ndent Smaller Haata and crecy. Tha Rock Inland official, aa aoon aa they heard tha exprrlenc of Engineer Irona and hla train, made much haata but preserved tha utmost secrecy.

Oeorga Hufrmrler of Knoxvllle who had returned tin the special aent out Saturday night nd had spent tha day In tha city, left on tho for hla homo about J.IO o'clock. It waa Immediately after that that tha In formation came from Engineer Irona. A telegram waa aent Inatantly to Fcrd to Intercept Huffmelar and hla hounda. Tho rural mall carrier who malww Ford Trom Iea Molnea waa Juet leaving tha de spot when H-iffmeler got tha telegram and tho four bloodthlratly bmtea piled Into tha mall carrier a cart and all haata waa made for thla city. llllam HrafforJ la tha mall carrier.

train that had been run up In front of It. Tha latter waa pushed forward an hour ahead of time. Huffmeler, hla hounda, and tha of fleers who had been collected In the meantime, while waiting for him. Imme diately embarked on tho apeclal, and quietly ateamrd out of tha city. Tho Rock Island detectives to tha num ber of half a doxen, Chief Custey of th aecret service, E.

E. Johnatnn. of thl city. Officer Ecklea, of the police force, and Detective Ueorge McNutt accom panied the train. Want to Dexter.

On the train alao waa Engineer Irona. He Instated on the accuracy of hla state mrnt that the torpedoes had been ex pliMled near Karlham, and he offered to go wl'h the nfllcera and ahow them exact ly the spot where the thing waa done. Thla he did. But tha special went to petxer to turn around and then got back to Kearlham as quickly as possible In the meantime the engineer pointed out tho exact spot where the explosion had occurred Tha officers left the special at points between the two towns and with forces already on hand from those places trior oughly patrolled the Intervening coun-try. They determined to search the stir rounding hills with care and If possible get the doga on the trail of the crlm lnals.

At the nock Island offices It waa ut- terly Impossible to gain any information ns to the special, the work of the of fleers, the object of Its quick make-up nnd the haste displayed. Officers would not talk. They admitted the exact and detailed truth of the story printed In the Register and Leader of yesterday morn lng, however, with respect to tha de- mand made and the effort to capture the crlmlnala. They Made a Mistake. Tt Is evident that the crlmlnala made a mistake Saturday night.

Apparently they did not know that No. 24 preceded No, by half an hour, and set their torpedoes too quickly. There Is no doubt that they Indicated In their lettor to the Rock Island offlcera that the money must be put on No. 6 engine, and that they expected to place the torpedoes so that thla locomotive would run oer them. The Rock Island venule now believe that the criminals made a mistake, and not calculating- on No.

24 preceding No. 6, got their torpedoes tinder the wrong train. Why they did not then place them for No. 8 remains a conjecture. Probably they feared that a trap had been set, still thinking- No.

6 was the train which had exploded the torpedoes, but no money was thrown from It, despite the signal of concession made by the white flag on the draw bar the rear coach on No. Saturday. of course, that the criminals would return to the tracks last plRht and might try to hold up a train, lifter the disappointment of the night before the second special waa made up and the armed offlcera and dogs aent out to try to capture them. Tbe shooting which Bccurred near Earlham lent color to the ksstimptten that the criminals were In that vicinity. Waa It a Were TrampT The section man waa walking- tho track two and a half milea east of He aw a man on the right of way who acted very curiously.

Tho section man ordered him to stand still and to wait for him. The fellow started to wnlk off more briskly. The section man pulled out hla un still calling to the fellow to halt but He, In his turn, began to run like a rabbit Ho leaped the right of way-fence at Northern District ConKresMonrtl Delegation ami Senators to Select a Man. ALLISON HOLDING KEY Healy Has Two Votes and Eac of the Other Candidate One, at Present. Tha fear that ntanglements will result from the contest for the fed- era) Judgeship appointment In th north ern district of Iowa may result in an early -Mlemenl of th" question.

News from Washington la to th effect that the two senator and four congreasmsn who will derld tha recommendation to th president will convene in caucua som time- thla week. Senator Allison ana fNilllver and Congressmen Thomas, Con ner, llaugen, Hlrdll, and cousins will make up the caucus All but Congressman llaugen and lllnlsall are now In Washington The situation la a peculiar nn and to all appearances Senator Allison holds the key Th" senior Iowa senator has Indicated which wiiv he will go. It takes four votes to settle the thing Indications are that tho rn-n ts now between Crulg L. Wright of Hloux Cllv snd Senator Thomas p. Healy of Fort lK1g.

A deadlock might result In a veering of th delegation to any one of the other most prominent candidate. Judge Reed of Creero, K. F. Daw ley of Cedar Itaplda, or J. C.

lm-iicvllle of Du buque. AH of the candidates era strong men and lawyer generally feel that the president in making the appointment might place the names In a hat and draw out a g-)d man. Healy Two, Others On Each. In siting the possible result nf the cau cus, politicians align tho delegation ac cording to their polltu-al alhilailone aa follows: Judge Lot 1 nomas, congressman from tha Kleventh district, for Craig Wright, first and last; for Healy, B-na- iMiilvar and Coiiirreiwman Conner of the Tenth distrtlrtt have already expressed themselvea openly. Congressman llaugen will be for Judge Reed on th first tballot and undout-t dly will stick hv he Cresco man to the finish.

Cnnrrress- man Hlrdsall will be for Ixingtievllie and Congressman Cousin will support Daw- ley. 1 hla will give one vote for 'esch candidate with the exception of Healy, who atsrta In with a lead of two and on of them a fnited States aenator. What will happen on the break nn la th puiillng question. The IIchIv men csn hardly hope to secure the support of Congressman Cousin. The Kleventh district polltbiana sav Cousins will for Wright.

Congressman Hlrdsall. from hla location, would seem to be amenaldo to Tenth district Influence, but the opposition auggests the contrary. A Spirited Contest, The campaign hich the five candidates have been waging has been ns spirited aa If the matter were (o go before the people for election. No sooner a the retirement of Judge Mhlrns announced than the candidates were In th field, fienntor Healy apparenily sot Into the field first. To stait with he had tho pow.

erful eupport of Senator Doillver. He waa also assisted by the host of friends and political acquaintances he had made during a brilliant career In the stare aen-ate. Mr. Healy probably has more endorsements from politicians than any other candidate In the field. At Bloiix City, Cialg Wright waa brought out after mature deliberation on the part of ihe membera of the Hloux City bar.

Hy an apparently preconcerted movement, the bar in each county In the district followed with endorsementa with the exception of two, and they followed within a few days. Mr. Wright's campaign waa placed In the handa of J. Jl. Kennedy, a brilliant young lawyer of Sioux City, and one of the leaders of ths Woodbury republicans.

It has been carefully and ably conducted. In Dubuque, Mr. Loniruevllle had difficulty at the outset. The Dubuque bar did not rally to his support with the unanimity that might have been deemed desirable. Mr.

Dawley, of Cedar Rapids, has the support of many members of the bar.even outside of his own district and his home In Linn county. Judge Reed developed much strength, and la regarded as a strong possibility, Hesly's Lead. To be nominated by the caucus It will be necessary for Healy to have two out of three possible votes, namely, those of Allison, Illrdniill and Hniigcm. On the other hand, Wright will have to get three out of a possible four, namely, Cousins, Huugen, Hlrdsall and Allison. The attitude of Governor Cummins In the Judgeship fight has been a matter of conjecture.

The Iowa governor waa placed In a pecullnr position. He waa under deep obligations to Healy for the support given him In previous campaigns. On the other hand, he was formerly a law partner of Carroll Wright, of Des Moines, a brother of Craig L. Wrlght.and his relations with the Wright family were close life felt bound by close ties to either candidate, and has de clared himself neutral. The fear that the Judgeship would be come Involved In congressional politics has been especially potent In the Tenth and Eleventh districts.

In the Kleventh, one of the hottest congressional campaigns In the history of the district la on the boards for next year. Lot Thomua will undoubtedly be a candidate for re- nomlnation, and that he will have plenty of opposition is assured. In the Tenth, Mr. Healy has been freely mentioned in connection wlih a congressional nomina tion. NTEREST CENTER8 IN JUDGESHIP.

The North German Gatette also pub lishes th report of Professor Johannes Orth.

the famoua cafioer specialist, who succeeded the late Professor Vlrchow In the chair of pathological anatomy In the University of Berlin. Professor Orth made a microscopical examination which ahowa that the polypus consisted of a very soft connective tissue containing very few cells. Thla tissue waa covered all over with a acaly oplthellum. sharply defined from the tissue. A portion of the connective tissue cells contained fine brown pigmented granules, which evidently were the result of former slight hemorrhages.

The polypus also contained a large number of thin walled corpuscles. "It Is, therefore," says Professor Orth, 'only a question of a benign connective tissue polypus." The court circular thla morning made the following announcement: 'The emperor yesterday went for a walk. No guests were Invited to lunch eon or dinner yesterday but Count Von Bui-low, tho Imperial chancellor, will be the emperor's guest at luncheon today."
