It Seems that there is such a thing
as making warships too speedy. Some
of England’s new torpedo boat destroy-
ers are so swift that their sterns run
right through the bows, with discour-
aging results.
By moving his hives south every
winter a Missouri apiarist fools his
honey makers into working all the
year round. This is how ae doth the
little busy bee and lazy people will
think it a mean trick.
Irrigation has enabled Arizona to
add olives and dates to her products.
If the regions now within the rain
belt do not look a little out the so-
called arid regions, through irrigation,
will leave them in the lurch. If irri-
gation is good for one section, it is
good for all, and there is no reason
why even the most favored regions
should not arrange for irrigation, if
only to be held in reserve in the event
of drought, reflects the St, Louis Star.
It is a curious fact that two of what
may be called the greatest gun inven-
tors of England of the time are Amer-
ican-born men. As is well-known, the
United States claims Sir Hiram Max-

brity who was born under the Stars

Letter From Miss Stone.
Sofia, Bulgaria, (By Cable).—From
another letter that hasbeenreceived from
Miss Ellen M. Stone, the abducted Ameri-
can missionary, it appears that she is
endnriugthe trials of herhard experience
with fortitude, forgetting herself in her
anxiety for her companion, Mme. Tsilka.
Miss Stone does not dare to complain
of the treatment to which they are sub-
jected, but she finds the confinement
irksome and the weather extremely try-
ing.
The tone of the latest letter received |
from her is hopeful. The brigands, by
dating the letters in places in Macedonia
and delaying their delivery, seek to
create the appearance of being far dis-
tant.
The Bulgarian government continues
to interfere in the negotiations, with the
object of forcing the transference of
them across the frontier.
FIRST McKINLEY MONUMENT.
Unveiled at Tower, Minnesota,
pressive Ceremonies.
Duluth, Minn.,, (Special).—In the
presence of several thousand people, as-
sembled from the mining towns of north- |
ern Minnesota, the first McKinley mon-
ument in the United States was un-
veiled and dedicated at Tower, seventy
miles north of Duluth, Sunday. Gov.
S. R. Van Sant and members of his
staff, a number of State officials and
other citizens from various parts of the
State were present. Gov. Van Sant was
among the speakers, and he paid a
high compliment to the patriotism, rev-
erence and sympathy of the sturdy min-
ing people who subscribed the money.
Men of all parties and creeds joined
in te exercises. The singing of “Nearer, |
My, God, to Thee” by the audience was
one of the most impressive features of
the day.
The monument is a simple shaft, 18
feet high, standing on a pedestal of con-
crete and iron ore, and cost $12,000.

T0 DISPROVE
KOCH'S THEORY
A Trained Nurse Becomes a Martyr
to Science.
GERMS WERE TAKEN FROM A COW.
The Animal First Given Tuberculosis and Viss
King is Inoculated With Infection From It
—If Dr. Barney's Statements Are True,
the Health Authorities Say He ls Liable
to Criminal Prosecution.
New York (Special). —Dr. George D.
Barney, who has confirmed the report
that he inoculated a young woman with
germs taken from a tuberculous cow,
expecting to prove by the development
of positive symptoms in his subject the
falsity of Professor Koch's theory that
bovine tuberculosis is not communicable
to human beings, denied that there was
imminent danger to the patient in his
experiment.
Miss Emma H. King, a trained nurse,
who offered herself for the demonstra-
tion, has formally absolved him from all
possible blame should the opposite prove
to be the case. Had the subject not
yielded herself voluntarily it is proba-
ble that the Brooklyn department of the
Board of Health would have proceeded
against Dr. Barney, but it was declared
today that the official’s hands are tied.
“While, of course, there is no gainsay-
ing the fact that a certain danger is at-
tached to the subject,” said Dr. Barney
at his residence, in Brooklyn, “it must
be remembered that thc mere appear-
ance of positive tuberculosis symptoms
is all that is necessary to demonstrate
the incorrectness of Prof. Koch's theory.
“In other words, as soon as the indi-
cations of a tuberculosis condition man-
ifest themselves the subject will be put
under treatment, and, as she is unusual-
ly healthy and possessed of a splendid
constitution, there is no reason to sup-
pose she will not be restored to her nor-
mal condition.”
For several years Dr. Barney has limi-
ted his practice to diseases of the chest.
and has, he says, met with gratifying re-
sults in the treatmesst of tuberculosis in
its earlier stages. It is that fact, he says,
which emboldened him to make the ex-
periment. He is confident that his treat-
ment will be efficacious in immediately
curing Miss King, should the expected
developments take place, but should her

would be as powerless to handle it as
would any other physician who believes
that well-advanced consumption 1s 1n-
curable.
Miss King is carefully following the
physician’s orders, pending a result from
the experiment. Beyond a general cau-
tion regarding her diet and her outdoor
exercise, however, she has not been re-
stricted. Her condition is examined
twice a day.
Miss King is perhaps 28 years old,
with a trim figure. She is well educated
and vivacious in manner. She lives with
her family in Manhattan Borough.

NAVY'S GROWTH.
Rear Admiral Bradford Presents Some Infer-
esting Facts in His Report.
Washington, D. C. (Special).—A
striking illustration of the growth of the
American Navy is presented in the single
statement in the annual report of Rear-
Admiral R. B. Bradford, Chief of the
Equipmetit Bureau of the Navy, that he
spent $2,273,111 last fiscal year for 324,-
108 tons of coal at an average of $7.01
per ton. :
The report says that this was nearly
95,713 more tons of coal than were used
during the preceding fiscal year. Ten
years ago the coal consumption was 73,-
000 tons per annum. The domestic coal
costs $6.20 per ton, and the foreign coal,
of which there were used 105,066 tons,
cost $8.50 per ton.
Admiral Bradford has scattered Amer-
ican coal all over the world wherever
suitable storage could be found. He has
placed 12,000 tons at Yokohama and
5,000 tons at Pichilinque, Mexico, and
he has sent large quantities to Guam and
to the Philippines. He carried 9,000 tons
by water from the Atlantic coast to
Mare Island, California, where it came
into competition with English Cardiff
coal. They have averaged the same in
cost, viz., $0.29 per ton, but at present,
owing to the scarcity of American
freight vessels, the best Cardiff coal is
considerably cheaper at Mare Island. It
is recommended that two large steam
10,000-ton colliers be built to keep de-
pots supplied in time of peace and to ac-
company the fleets in time of war.
Summarizing the work accomplished
during the year the report takes up Ca-
vite and says that the bureau is about to
open bids for a 45,000-ton coaling station
there. Efforts have been made to obtain
a site for a coaling station at Cebu, buf
thus far without success. Coaling sta
tions have been located at Port Isabella
Bassalin Island, and at Polloc, Minda-
nao. A complete station has been estab-
lished at Yokohama, Japan, and it is now
fully stocked with coal. The same state-
ment is true at Pichilinque, Mexico
where, through the courtesy of the Mex-
ican Government, coal and colliers of the
| United States have been admitted to the
station without port or customs of any
kind.
EARL LI ANGERED BY RUSSIA.
A Violent Dispute Caused the Aged Vice:
roy’s Death.
Pekin, (By Cable).—A violent dis-
pute with M. Paul Lesar, Russian min
ister to China, over the Manchurian
Treaty appears to have been the immedi-
ate cause of the death of Li Hung
Chang.
The diplomatic events preceding this
tragic climax have enabled Japan for a
moment to frustrate the designs of Rus
[ sia. A fortnight ago the Japanese Lega-
| tion secured a reliable outline of the
[terms of the treaty, and thereupon de:
| manded that the Chinese plenipotentia-
| ries officially lay before them the text,
basing the demand upon the allegation
that Japanese interests were involved in
any change of the status of Manchuria
The Chinese plenipotentiaries refused
to comply with this demand. Thereupon
the Japanese government from Tokic
comunicated with the Southern viceroys
and induced them to use their influence
with the Empress Dowager against the
treaty. In the meantime the Empress
Dowager instructed Li Hung Chang tc
comunicate the treaty, after certain mod-
ifications, to the ministers of the pow-
ers, and if they did not object to sign
the same.

Had Been Confined at Fort Leavenworth—

Topeka, Kan. (Special). — Sheriff
Cook and Deputy Sheriff Williams, of
Shawnee county, were captured at Pau-
line, five miles from Topeka, by two e¢s-
saped eonvicts from the Fort Leaven-
worth Military Prison and held prisen-
ers for several hours in the farmhouse
of a man named Wooster. ;
The convicts escaped through a line of
police sent from Topeka to reinforce the
Sheriff. Both were slightly wounded.
Wooster was badly wounded by one of
the convicts when he tried to fire on
them. Mrs. Wooster and Sheriff Cools
were held before the convicts as a shiel#
| to make their: escape.
At 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon severe
farm boys living near Pauline learned
that the convicts were in the neighbor-
hood. Hastily forming a posse armed
with target rifles, pistols and clubs they
went in search. Neither of the convicts
was armed, and they were unable to
make a stand. Later Sheriff Cook and
Deputy Williams arrived. Coming upon
the convicts both officers fired, wound-
ing the men, but not disabling them.
The convicts then fled through a small
opening in the timber and ran into the
house of Farmer Wooster. Sheriff Cook
telephoned to Topeka for assistanee and
then took up the chase. Thinking the
convicts had run around the house, Cook
darted through the open door, intending
to surprise them at the rear door. But
instead of this the eonviets had gone
into the house and the officer almost fell
into their arms.
Sheriff Cook was ordered to give up
his gun, which he did. Deputy Williams
by this time had reached the house and
entered without knowing what had hap-
pened inside, and he, too, was made eap-
tive by the convicts.
One of the convicts told Sheriff Cook
that he would be killed if he made the
slightest move looking toward their eap-
ture. In the meantime the policemen on
the outside had surrounded the building,
but were afraid to make the move lest
Cook and Williams would suffer.
Then after exacting a promise from
the Sheriff that he would not permit
any of the officers outside to fire on
them they started for the open. As they
left the house the frightened farmer, his
wife and the submissive Sheriff before
them, the convicts passed between a cor-
don of police who easily could have cap-
tured them and started for the railroad
track. The Sheriff in turn had exacted
a promise from the police that they
would not molest the eonviets, and they
did not.
After covering a considerable distance
down the track the convicts suddenly
disappeared through a hedge fence, bid-
ding the officers a mocking
