The practical em-rloymcnt of aeroplanes In the French colonics of Africa and Asia Is under din. cushion by the Minister of Colonies and the National Aerial League, and It is probable that In their estimates, for next year the Colonial Governors will make provision for a number of machines, to gether with the Instruction of pilots. The French possessions In Africa. which take up ahout a fourth of that continent, are lamentably lacking In means of rapid communication. With aeroplanes making from W to M milea an hour, the situation would be revo lutionised. Cities and remote villages row separated by weeks and months of travel would be reached in a few hours or a day or two. The Aerial league is working out aerial routes with especial reference to the physical character of the country. wind currents and landing and supply stations. It Is estimated that aeroplanes would make K to ISO miles dally with two or three passengera. Governors of colonies report intense public Interest In advent of the aeroplane. An aero club has been formed In Indo china and the members are already ron siovnng the arrangement of an aero- rane race from Saigon .to Paris. NAPLES. Sept. IS. (Special.) The epidemic of cholera here has attained most alarming; proportions, and ener getic measures are to be taken by gov ernment health officials to combat the disease. More than 100 new cases were reported to the authorities yesterday. Kitty deaths occurred within the last 24 hours. The Government, which up to the present ha persistently declined to recognize the- existence of the cholera. has now admitted that the disease which has caused such havoc within the last two weeks is cholera of the violent Asiatic type. An official tele pram was sent yesterday to Rome stat ins; that a shoemaker named Ernesto Vig-llante was suffering from that dis case. Many other rases are described by the health officials as gastro-enterltls. but this diagnosis Is not generally ac cepted. Two persona, a stonemason and a sailor, were taken from the train on Its war from Naples to Caserto and Nettune. They are believed to be suf fering from cholera and were sent to a lazaretto.

Major Juy J.

When the duet had cleared away the Bertolero boarding house was seen hanging; over the edge of the crevasse, and the Campbell Hotel's back steps ltd Into IL Fright among the residents of Lead, most of whom live above similar cav erns, was allayed somewhat by assur ance from mining- officials that there wa no danger of further ravins;. The Homestake had hundreds of miles of tunnels under the city, and the stopes form immense caverns, reaching In the tipper levels well toward the surface. OSKALOOSA. la.. Sept. . Swift retri bution overtook William Boston today, after he had shot and fatally wounded Susan Losson, 9 years old, at Cricket. lo Pursued bv friends of the woman, who had Jilted Boston, the man fled through wood and attempted to board a mov lng train. Out of breath and unsteady because of fear, Boston fell under the wheels of the train and was ground to death. OLD GUARD IS PUT AWAY (Conltnu'd From First Paie. ) be up to him to make good In Novem ber. If he doesn't, then he will not be heard of again." 'Progressives" Are Satisfied. The -progressive' leaders now on the ground here are Inclined to cross one bridge at a time. According to every surface Indication they have made the approach to the convention bridg-e safe ly, and the crossing looks favorable. and that Is sufficient for the moment. The friends of Theodore Roosevelt realize that a month ago he faced an Inevitable crisis in his career. But Roosevelt has not lost His forces have the situation well In hand tonight, and the only fear here and there expressed Is that the opposition will perform some trick In the convention. Much Uosslp Goes On. Aside from the observances (riven above as to how the general situation la regarded by both factions there Is little difference as to details at this stage from .what was apparent when the last of the primaries had been held up-state. One or 500 district leaders. delegates and' Interested onlookers are sitting around the two or three miles ; of plasa of the I'nlted states Hotel an ticipating what Colonel Roosevelt will do and say to enliven things when he arrives on the ground tomorrow to take command of the "progressive" forces. The question of a candidate for Gov ernor, usually overtopping everything" else In importance at a state conven tion which Is not rut and dried, excites minor Interest. A single candidate. Representative Bennett, has his sign out. ' Sherman in Opposite Role. Vice-President Sherman, who Is cast to play the "opposite" part to Colonel Roosevelt In the proceedings of Tues day and Wednesday, also will not ar rive until tomorrow morning. ' While watting; for Roosevelt, g-osslp la busy with the possibility, in spite of all said previously, of forcing; the guberna torial nomination upon the Colonel himself. Several onlookers and Just plain delegates are trying to make themselves believe that Roosevelt's can didacy under the circumstances would be the logical thins;. I'ncertainty Is Feature. It is this sort of Kosalp. and the ele ment or uncertainty as to the exact status In which Colonel Roosevelt will emerge from, the Saratoga convention. that will tend to keep the National In terest in the proceedings on edge until the final roll call. Aside from Bennett, those now men tioned as gubernatorial possibilities, ex empting .Roosevelt of course, are ex Vnlted States District Attorney Stim son. Seth Low. President Schurman. of Cornell University. W. R. Wilcox, of Buffalo, at whose home Roosevelt took the oath as president following the death of William McKinley, and Kred erick Hazard of Syracuse. Tariff Plank Scheduled. As to the platform it is expected to contain a plank rejoicing In the fact that there are to be no more general revisions of the tariff praising the ma chinery of the Payne-Aldrich law, through which flaws in its schedules may be unearthed from time to time, and urging the adoption by Congress of the recommendations of the Tariff Board as they are transmitted through the President. If New York Republicans take such a stand for piecemeal revision, the moral effect of the convention is bound to be great. FORT NOW IN HISTORY MAL.-L11 WALLA PASSES WITH WITHDRAWAL. OF TROOPS.

Major Brett commanding, that have been stationed here, left for the Yellowstone Park In compliance with the order abandoning this fort. Only the First Cavalry Band Is left, and under command of Major John Gard ner, these few men will leave Monday for Boise Barracks.

No formality attendd the departure, and few people anew tney naa gone. The quartet was a part of the original garrison when the fort was established In 18S6.

"They stole him from us," said a grizzled non-commissioned officer. "He waa our commander add it waa not square to take our Johnny from us. Major Brett la all right, we like him. but old Johnny was our leader." The fort la still on the records of the War Department, but after October 1 will be stricken officially.
