About 8 SO last eveniog two robbers attempted to hold up the west bound passenger train on the Santa Fe line sixty miles east of here.

One of the robl e.-s was standing near the engine, and the messenger fired at him at short ranee. The robber fell dead. The other robber then compelled the fireman to get on the engine again and run the engine and two mail and express cars up the road, where it was stopped and the robber made an unsuccessful attempt to get into the express car. The mail car was then entered aud sev eral registered packages taken. The robber then disappeared in the darkness.

New York, Feb. 9. The following circular, which explains itself, was made public today: To the Women of the United States: We ask your earnest and prompt co operation in urging upon the Senate of the United States that after full consid eration it should ratify the arbitration treaty between this country and Great Britain, and without amendments which will cripple its efficiency. The mothers, the wives, and the homes of our land have the deepest interest in the substitution of law for war. In times of conflict they are the keenest sufferers, and while the nation's honor is dear to them, wh ttever tends to settle disputes by reason and law, rather than w;arfare, demands their heartiest endorsement. It is absolutely necessary that the uni versal public opinion of the country, in favor of thisjtreaty, should find expres sion. Therefore, we ask you, without delay, to write personally to your Sena tors, to hold meetings, to send petitions and to aid by all means in your power, the completion of this great act of Chris tian civilization.

All efforts made by newspaper correspondents to board the warships of Charleston bar today were fu tile. The Fern came up up to lhe city for mail and provisions, and the Marblehead was lyinf off the battery, but the other ships were strungout to sea bepond.the jetties for a distance of eight miles; the cruiser Colum bia, which is the furthest out, is from six teen to eighteen miles from the city. Early this morning some signalling was done from the flagship New York, and in consequence the sni(8 began to move from the north to the south of the harbor. The battleship Maine anchored a li'tle to the south tf the lightship, which stands just six miles out fioui Fort Sumter. Tne Fern lies beh'nd the Maine; lhe New York is half a mile fur ther south. Half way across the ma n channel is the monitor Amphitrite. and beyond her und out to sea is the Col umbia. , It is supposed here that the ships have taken these stations with a view to ef fectually guarding the Sjuih entiance'to tht? fiaibjr, and t;a: future arrivals, the Indiana and Missachusettes, for in stance, will be placed to ihe North. The Dolphin was nowhere in evidence today, and it is believe! that she has failed Sonth, possibly to relieve the Newark at the mouth of the St. John's river. The b ttieship8 Indiana and M issachuseits are expecUd to arrive off the bar to nirro v morning. I; is known that the Vesuvius ha; been ordered away from League Island, and as she is to be the blockade runner, it is thought that she will comedown the coast under her own orders after all the big ships are in position, and try to run into the harbor undetected. This is supposition, but it is at least possible and probable. Every effort has been made by the press representatives to get some de tailed statement of the injuries done the ships during the storm, but it has been of no avail. The Marblehe d when up to the citp give little evidence of injury, her superstructure was battered some what, but as one stood upon her deck, she looked little the worse for wear. THE CRUISER MARBLEHEAD. The Injured Sailors Cared For Vessel Get ting to Rig tits. Charleston, S. C, Feb. 9. This morn ing a gig came ashore from the United States cruiser Marblehead, whicli is ly ing a few hundred feet of off the South ern whaif. The gig was in charge of Passed Assistant Surgeon A. R. Went worth, of the cruiser, and it carried the six seamen who were injured on the ship during the passage down the coast. Ambulances conveyed "the wounded men to the Marine hospital of the city. The injured sailors we John D. Ryan, black smith, right knee badly injured; John J. Hickey, plumber, scalp wound and nose injured; Andrew Anderson, seaman, nose fractured and severe wound in the head; Herbert C. Osborne, shipwright, small bone in right leg broken; Frederick C. Potter, carpenter's mate, ankle sprained. Herbert Lamar, a fiieman telougingto the transport Fern, is also in the hospital suffering from a badly lacerated leg. All of the injured men were given the best medical attention and placed in com foi table quarte.s. Tney ate doing well, and will probably be able to rejoin their ships before the blockade is over. The Fern came up to the city at 10 o'clock this morning for mail and supplh s and, n ceiving them, returned to the lightship, off whion the squadron is lyii g in the position which it occupied last night. All the vessels are busy getting to rights, and it is not probable that any attempt at manouevring will be made lefore to morrow, or later. , De Declines the Honor. London Feb. 9. Mr. Thomas Sexton (anti-Parnellite), former member of the House of Commons for the North division of Kerry, who resigned his seat last year, has written a letter declining to re-enter Parliament.

Vest Calls the Attention of the Senate to the Publicity Given.; Executive Sessions Would Like to Know Where the Leak Is. Washington, D. C, Feb.. 9. President Cleveland was overruled by the House , today in the matter of vetoes of two pen sion bills!-. They were for the benefit of Rachael Patton and Caroline Mowatt, widows of soldiers who had remarried and lost their second husbands. The, bills were vetoed, the message stated, upon the ground that their passago would establish a dangerous precedent. Mr. Sulloway of New York, in charge of one of the bills, asserted that the Presi dent had already approved thirteen sim ilar bills, - so that , the precedent was pretty well established. The bill to pen sion Rachael Patton was passed, utho objee iona of the President notwith standing," by the vote of 137 to 00, and that to pension Caroline Mowatt by the vote of 143 to 55. After a brief dehate the conference report on the immigration hill was agreed to 217 to 37. This makes the third distinct prop osition on that subject that the House has passed. Senate amendmeuts were concurred in to the bill givicg preference riglits for pur chases under the homestead law or at pri vate entry to bona tide purchasers of swamp lands voted to the State of Mississippi in aid of the construction of the Mobde and Ohio Railroad and afterwards restored to the public domain.

Tolay, ai yea terday, the Senate spent nearly the wnole time of its stsiion in wrestling behind closed dcora over the arbitration treaty. At 1 o'clock, on the rajiiouof Mr. Sher man, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relation, the galleries were cleared, the doors were closed, and the consideration of the treaty was entered uton. Daring the transaction of the rou tine morning business the concurrent resolution introduced yesterday by Mr. Peltigrew, withdrawing from tne Presi dent a bill paseed by both houses, in rela tion to the timber culture law, was taken up and passed. Mr. Hdl, who had nrst questioned it legality, remarking that inat question could te considered when the bill again came before the Senate, if the Piesident should return. A resolu tion was agreed to instructing tne judic iary committee to make inquiry on the matter of Mr. Amidon, whose nomina tion as District Judge in North Dakota is before the Senaie for coutirmation.

At 5.35 p. m. the Senate adjourned unt.I tomorrow. . . The Senate went into executive session at 12.40 for the purpose of resuming consider ation of the arbitration tr.aty. Mr. Morgan, who had the floor when the Senate adjourned last evening, took up his speech against the the treaty at the poiut where it was broken 0flThere was some discussion soon after the doors were closed this afternoon about the unusual publicity and accuracy; relative to the secret debate of yesterday, Mr. Vest calling the attention of the Senate to the reports in the morning papers. The Missouri Senator said it was something of a farce for the Senato to refuse to open the doors, and then to find the debate reported as fully as if tho reporters were in the galleries. He ac cused no one, but intimated that ho should like very much to know where the leak was. Mr. Vest, however, did not ascertain the source whence the In formation comes. Several Senators coin cided with Mr. Vest, and a general criticism was indulged in for a few min utes in the hope that the talkative Sen ators might take the hint and cease giving away executive secrets. Distrust the Reports. St. Louis, Feb. 9. Local plug tobacco manufacturers discredit the story sent from Detroit to the effect that wholesale grocers in tht middle west States were forming a combination in opposition to the American Tobacco Company and regard the report as a stock jobbing manipulation.
