Murh blUer feeling Is being: mani

power "which disregards alike the le

"The shuttling, violent and insolent
policy pursued toward this country at

would view with the greatest regret
the prospect of war between this coun

"Lord Salisbury has treated the

existence of the iron hand beneath it.
"The Idea of our being afraid of a

proportion and lias forgotten she plays
onlv a minor role lu the affairs of the

"V- hope our relations with America

TO PREVENT STARVATION.'
Secretary Alger Planning to Send Snpplioi to
the Klondyke.
Secretury Alger is now engaged In an
attempt to solve the question of how
to get supplies into the Klondike gold
n glons and thereby prevent the threat
ened starvation of many miners. The
great Yukon river is without doubt al
ready closed to navigation by boats,
ami the mountain passes via Chllknot
are almost impassable. The problem,
therefore, Is a hard one
Now, however, It Is believed by the
Secretary that by means of a novel plan
of transportation supplies may be pro
vided even in the midst of an Alaskan
winter, lie has ripened correspondence
Indirectly with a Chicago Inventor who
makes a locomotive sled designed orig
inally for use In logging camps, but
which. It Is hoped, may be readily
adapted to the navigation of the Yukon
when It Is frozen thickly. With a few
of these machines placed on the river
It Is hoped that a sudlclent supply ol
lood and other in ssary stores can be
carried up the Yukon to relieve distress
attending the miners.
The Secretary has already hail some
experience with this kind of locomotive.
When engaged In lumbering in the
Northwest he tried the engine practi
cally, and found It was capable of pul
ling many tons of logs on sleds at a
good speed, even as high as Vi miles an
hour. The engine Is boxed In like a'
freight car, and the engineer and fire
man are thereby protecteTl frqm the
'rigors of the winter.'

famine to come.
Louis Sloss. Jr., of the Alaska Coni
ne rclal Company, who was on board,
confirmed all the stories hitherto given
of the shortage of food supplies.
"We have been compelled to adopt
mi asures," said he, "to prevent single
Individuals from cornering food sup
plies. For this reason we limited the
quantity of grub to be sold to each
person. One sack of flour each week
Is ail that any man Is allowed to pur
i base. We closed our store for n time
when the Bella arrived, declining to
Hell to any one until we found out what
we had In stock and how fur ll would
go toward supplying the orders we had

either hotels or restaurants, and, as far
as possible to miners only."

IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Waters of the Mississippi to be Diverted by a
Canal 1700 Miles in Length.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Percy Daniels of To
peka, Kans., lias a gigantic plan to pre
sent to the Irrigation congress, which
Is soon to be held In Nebraska and to
which he Is a delegate. Mr. Daniels
proposes to tap the Missouri river at
Its Junction with the Milk river, In Mon
tana, and turn its waters Into a canal
that will empty Into the Red river of
Texas. The length of the canal by an
air line would be 1,000 miles, but the
length of the meandering In conformity
with Intercepting water courses would
be 1.700 miles. The cost would be $:i60,
000,000. The average width Is to be 160
for t and the depth 15.
Mr. Daniels estimates that with a
fall of four Inches to the mile the ca
pacity of the channel In a current of
one mile an hour would be 146.000 cubic
feet of water per second. Thus the
canal besides being used for Irrigation
through Nebraska. Kansas, Colorado,
Oklahoma and Arkansas, would be able
to take care of the surplus water which
might otherwise cause disastrous floods
on the Mississippi. He believes the
canal could also be used as a water
way for hauling freight In competition
with the railways.
HEIR TO WEALTH AND TITLE.
A Son Born Who Will Neither Have to Make
Hit Name or Fortune.
A son was born to the Duke and

come Is said to be $10,000 a day, and It
Is growing rapidly. This will go to
Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough, and
her two brothers,' Willie and Harold
Vanderbllt. By this computation the
Marlborough heir will come Into a
fortune from his mother alone of at
least $25,000,000. By further develop-
ini na this fortune may reach $70,000,000.
In addition to this, the heir of the
Marlboroughs Is in line tn succeed to a
share In properties in this country
valued at $12,000,000 and the Marl
borough estates, Including the heredl

Anubo Arroyo, a violent character,
assaulted President Dlas of Mexico
Thursday during the military proces
sion in honor of Independence day.
The man waa felled by a cane by a
companion of the president and waa
Immediately taken Into custody by the
authorities. The president was not In
jured. Acting on the wish expressed by
Presldeijt Dlx. Arroyo was taken un
der guard to the police headquarters In
city hall. Arroyo evidently felt ap
prehensive of the crowd, who were de
termined to selxe and lynch him, and
lie was carefully locked up at head
quarters, when he appeared to feel
less fearful. '
He waa asked how he could have
come to make the murderous assault
on tho president, knowing as he did
bow severe the law would deal with
him, and especially as he had studied
the law. He manifested a cynical in
difference and was In no way Inclined
to regret his act, and declared he had
Intended to stun the president anil
then, taking the president's small
sword, to kill him.
Tho apartment was still, except for
the murmur of the conversation be
tween the ofllcer und prisoner, who
seemingly enjoyed smoking his cigar
ette, when suddenly was heard the for
midable noise of the tramping or many
feet on the stairs leading to the floor
on which the office Is situated, and
there were confused shouts of "Long
live President Diaz," "Iong live Mex
ico and death to anarchists." etc.
Windows were broken, and the noise
aroused the officers of the secret serv
ice In the adjoining room, who rushed
to the scene, but did not fire on the
crowd, fearing that they might kill
some of the comrades of the police In
side. So they contented themselves
with fierce shouts out the windows,
thus calling together the police on the
neighboring corners who were ordered
to prevent any person leaving the city
building.
Meantime In the room above a
frightful tragedy had been enacted.
Many knives were plunged into the
body of Arroyo, who, of course, was
entirely helpless.
Inspector Velasquez had Just left the
National peace palace when he heard
the fining, and went directly there.
Over 10 arrests were made, and all
were locked up Incommunicado, and
have njt been released, pending a
strict investigation, which Is to be
made.
THE WAR IN INDIA.
British Encounter Conragous Soldiers Among

Advices from the front are not reas

the enemy at Damotagn, and drove
them Into the hills, but was compelled
to retire after having burned the towers
and capured 400 mule loads of supplies.
The trlbemen's loss when they defeated
Gen. Blood at Anayat on Thursday Is
said to have been very heavy, captain
Ryder's company of Sikhs owed their
lives to an Afridl sergeant of the GulC-'S
corps, who, when the Siksh had ex
hausted their, ammunition and were,
desperately cutting their way back
through the enemy, dashed up the hill
under a heavy fire with a supply of
cartridges. He arrived- Just in the nick
of time, as the swordmen of the enemy
were already among the Sikhs, who
were absolutely unable, after the heavy
climb and the hard fighting, to continue
a successful struggle. The Queen has
sent the following dispatch with refer
ence to the reverse near Camp Anayat:
"I am deeply grieved at the loss of so
many brave officers and men. I earnest
ly desire to be Informed as to the con
ditlon of all the wounded. The conduct
of the troops was most admirable."

BULLET PROOF CLOTH.
A Coat of Mail Saves a Governmont Officer's
Life.
R. L. Wooten, the deputy marshal ot
Jackson, Ky., who went to Cincinnati
and hadnade a regular coat of mall to
protect himself from the bullets of
moonshiners, owes his life to it.
Wooten and four other officers were
detailed to go to the top of a mountain
to destroy a still and capture some Cow
creek shiners. Wooten Insisted that he
proceed to the still without the other
officers. He went on, the other officers
remaining in the rear. He called to
the shiners to throw up their bands and
surrender. Instead of that they, with
their companions, seized their rifles
and poured a volley at Wooten, which
was kept up until their ammunition
was exhausted.
Wooten stood like a statue and did
not Are a shot, but when the firing
ceased he advanced to the men and
captured them without trouble. Woo-
ten believes he waa . struck by at least
18 bulleta.
