In saying this, however, I do not mean to be understood as holding The Abbott cheap. He is a wonderful animal and a splendid race horse.

Contest Suits Started Against His Lavrton Claim. FORT SILL, O. T., Aug. 9. Three ad ditional contest suits have been started against James Woods, the first winner In the Lawton district land lottery, who, in choosing his claim, shut Miss Mattle Beals out from filing on a tract next to Lav ton.

These Woods dis placed with the aid of an ax, but during the night 200 squatters took possession and say they will contest to the end. Woods attorneys have warned the squatters to move within 10 days. Another contest was Inaugurated today, when a placer mineral claim, based on the alleged discovery of oil on the Woods homestead, was filed with the Register of Deeds. Her Majesty's Service. Our friend Smith has a habit of signing his initials to letters, telegrams, etc., where ho Is well known, and this propen sity did not depart from him In England, gossips a New York writer. It did not oc cur to him that the letters H. M. S. are magic Initials in the United Kingdom until he had "stacked up against several experiences," as he expressed It. The ex pedition with which his telegrams were sent caused him to fall in love with the system of government ownership, which he had always opposed in this country, and one day, in the presence of several British acquaintances at the Savile Club, he mentioned his appreciation of the serv ice. "It is not always to our liking," said a colonel of engineers, "but then we are not privileged to use your signature to telegrams." "What has my signature got to do with it?" inquired the Ameri can, and the Englishman explained that H. M. S. "Her Majesty's Service" al ways took precedence over everything else in Britain. HWWWto i - 4.. - iitjlM.i.,i - COMMERCIAL DEMOCRACY TILLMAN MADE A SPEECH WITH OUT ABUSING M'1AURIN. South Carolina Senator Deolares, He Is a Poor Man Date of Iowa Democratic Convention. UNION, S. C, Aug. 9.-Senator B. R. Tillman was the last speaker at the big meeting here today. He discussed the "Commercial Democracy," advocated by Senator McLaurin, without personal bit terness or abuse, and said in part: "The report is going the rounds that the mills are behind this new doctrine. I do not believe any such report. I deny that the mills and their owners want to turn the state over to the Republicans. I give them credit for more patriotism and more sense. I want to give warning to those who have been misled. There are some of these weak creatures around, but I feel that all are not so foolish. In 1S90 we had 400.000 spindles, and now there are about 2,000,000 spindles. The boom be gan when Cleveland was In the White House. Cleveland did nothing to help the mills, nor did McKinley help them. They were built simply because they were found profitable here, because of the nearness to the field, and the climate. Our goods entered China on a competi tive basis pure and simple. The cry that that if we do not Join the Republican party we will go backwards Is a humbug and a He. It is common sense that we have the goods and we will sell the goods." He said he did not care to take up the latest of McLaurin's pronouncements or even dignify them with an answer. However, they would be taken up at one point. McLaurin had insinuated that Tillman took rebates on whisky. "General Butler argued this very thing here," said Senator Tillman, "and you know how It was answered in 1891. I never touched a dollar and every one knows It, and the people showed It by electing me time and again. The talk about my being rich is all rot, as the records of my county and tho Carolina National Bank will show." McLaurin on National Issues. GREENVILLE, S. C, Aug. 9. Senator McLaurin today addressed 2000 people at Oakway near Westminster. He empha sized his position on National Issues, touched the Paris treaty- and expansion, and advocated the building of a merchant marine which shall fly the Stars and stripes. Many of the Issues discussed today had not been presented to the people in this vicinity since the. days preceding the attacks of Fort Sumpter. The principal part of Senator McLaurin's audience was made up of farmers, and they applauded liberally. IOWA DEMOCRATS. Chairmnn of Convention Will Ignore Silver in His Speech. DES MOINES. la., Aug. 9. The Demo cratic state central committee met today to arrange for the state convention in Dea Moines August 23. Mr. Sharon, of Davenport, who has been selected as temporary chairman of the convention, submitted an advance copy of his speech, which was Indorsed by the committee.

Sena tor George G, Vest, in an interview today, said that the principal planks of the Dem ocratic platform of 1904 should be: First, a declaration for a graduated Income tax; second, an unrelenting opposition to trusts; third, a declaration against Im perialism and the colonial system. t "It would be suicidal," said the Sena tor, "to thrust the silver issue forward again." DUTY ON COFFEE. Asked for by the Legislature of HaTrnll. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. The Interior Department has received a resolution passed by the Hawaiian Legislature, pray ing that Congress impose a duty on all coffee imported from other countries, "and in this way protect that industry in Hawaii and other parts of the United States." The resolution will be forwarded to Congress at the opening of the next ses sion. It says the coffee industry In Ha waii is now In a depressed condition, and is threatened to be abandoned on account of low prices and removal of protective duties on all coffee imported into the Republic of Hawaii before the annexation and the large amounts Imported into the United States from Brazil, Mexico, Cen tral America and other countries, free of duty. The resolution refers to the large coffee area, the great amount of Ameri can capital invested there and inability to compete with the low prices where cheap labor is employed, as In the coun tries mentioned.

Miss Estella Reel, National Superintendent of Indian Schools, has completed a uniform course of study for the Indian Schools. The course treats of 61 studies, designed to train the Indian to become self-supporting. Kipling Lost Three Admirers. New York Times. There are three newspaper men in New York that despise Kipling. They admire his works and read everything he writes. Each has a complete set of his books, and each Is never tired of pouring of their pages. Their dislike for the man came about in this way. They were discussing "The Man Whb Was." During fhe discus sion one read the story aloud. When the reading reached this point " 'Sweet and to the point,' said Little Mildred. 'What's the use of getting wroth? Let's make this poor devil com fortable.' "But that was a mat'ter suddenly and swiftly taken from the loving hands of the White Hussars. The. Lieutenant had 'returned only to gq away again three days later, when the wall of the "Dead March' 'and the tramp of the squadrons told the wondering station, who saw no gap In tho mess' table, that an officer of the regiment had resigned his new-found commission" When it reached this point one argued that the man had committed sulc'de, while another claimed that he had died from exhaustion. To settle the matter they decided to write to the author for an explanation as to which Idea he intended to convey. The I letter was written and elgned by each. In I -t Wii&rr'foMU , IU 111 m -ft- t&i..aM&MsfeU&u due t!me an answer came, and from the day of Its receipt has dated their dislike for Rudyard Kipling. Across the face of their letter he had written the words: "Wise men know, fools ask questions." M. LE COLONEL BRYAN." French Account of His Life and Ex ploits. Des Moines Leader. In a paper published in the south of France is found an amusing account of the early life and exploits of Colonel Bryan. The story. It appears, was writ ten by the Parte correspondent of the provincial paper, and is based, so the writer avers, on information furnished by friends of the candidate who have been prominent at the French capital. The Western wag who filled the French man so full of new and startling informa tion must have smiled to -himself as he read in cold print the statement that "M. le Colonel Bryan first came into fame as one of the strange, half-savage band of cowboys who roamed over the far West, fighting the Indians and wild beasts. Imi tating, perhaps, the custom of the Indian chiefs, each of the cowboys bore a nick name based on some of his exploits as a hunter or fighter. Thus M. le Colonel Bryan's title among his rough, but brave and sturdy comrades was Silver Bill, the dead shot. After the treaty of peace was signed with the Indians at Chicago in 1S96, Colonel Bryan went out of the cattle busi ness and became one of the bonanza farmers of the West. He can now sit on his back stoop, as the rear veranda is called In America, and look over his fields of corn stretching farther than the eye can reach In every direction. As a result of his early training on the plains, where he spent months at a time without an opportunity of talking to another human being, the candidate for President is ex tremely taciturn and can hardly be per suaded to express his opinion on the issues of the campaign. He is the author of a book of adventure called The First Battle, In which some of his encounters with the Indians of the Tammany and other tribes are described at length. , "In the effort to partially neutralize the strength of M. le Colonel among the cow boys and Indians who make up the largest part of the Voting population west of fhe Allegheny Mountains, the Republi cans have nominated M. le Roosevelt for vice-president. M. le Roosevelt is one of the leading cowboys In America, and Is especially famous for once having van quished a grizzly bear in a single combat. During the present campaign M. le Colonel Roosevelt has ridden a series of horses all over the country, giving exhi bitions of rough riding such as were seen in Paris a year or more ago under the direction of another American states man." BRESCFS ACCOMPLICE. Lulgl Glanotti, tWe Anarchist, Makes a Confession. PARIS. Aug. 9. A dispatch to the Patrle from Rome says the anarchist, Lulgl Glanotti, who is charged at Milan with being an accomplice of Brescl, In the assassination of King Humbert, has con fessed to his complicity in the crime.

J., in company with Brescl, and that they went together to Monza, near Milan, Glanotti started a street row1 at Monza the day of the murder in order to dis tract the attention of the police while Bresci attacked the King. The Paterson Anarchist Play. NEW YORK, Aug. 9. The anarchists of Paterson. N. J., at a recent meeting, repudiated the report that they proposed to give the play "The Assassination of King Humbert I," August 18. They say that they know nothing of the company which is to perform the tragedy and knew nothing of the affair until it was announced. They ,a!so say that they are glad that it is to be stopped, as they understand It is to be given by Italians from Southern Italv. and will depict an archists in an odious light. LIMESTONE TRUST. .

A man can grow up with a neighbor hood, but It Is seldom that you hear of a dog doing likewise. There Is near Pros pect Park, Brooklyn, a dog named Nellie, who has actually grown up with that section. When the East Side Park lands were arid waste, Nellie roved over them at will. Senator William H. Reynolds became Interested In hundreds of lots, and, through an act of the Legislature, had the cloud which was hovering over the title to the lands cleared. They were bought for park purposes, and it required an act of the Legislature to allow them to be sold by the city to private parties. When the first row of houses were In course of construction, Nellie made her habitat in the cellars. As the houses were sold, one after another, Nellie changed her place of residence. The first houses erected were worth about $8000, but now no house costing less than $20,000 is being put up in that section. Year after year as different blocks of houses were started, Nellie would wag her tall and take a new house. "That dog has lived in more houses than any man in the world," said Senator Reynolds last week. "Over 200 houses have been put up near the park, and Nel lie has been the first occupant of every one' of them. During her short life that dog has been the sole tenant of over $2,000,000 worth of real estate." Nellie Is a large, white, smooth-coated dog. The custom of the neighborhood Is to give the best chicken bones and good meat to Nellie. All the residents make of the dog a net, and visits are made by her every once In awhile to nearly all of the 200 families who now live In that section. Washouts in New Mexico. ALBUQUERQUE, N.

She reported the matter to the police at once, and the detecWve of Far Rockaway went on a still hunt for the gems. A restless horse, one of a team belonging to James Murray, a hack driver, was pawing In the sand and Mur ray saw something glitter in tho sdn un der the animal's right fore foot- He backed the team a little, dug in the sand and found all of the missing diamonds. Rejoiced at his find, and mindful of the reward of $300 offered for their recovery, Murray carried the Jewels straight to t'ne pofics. station. There they were all iden tified by Mrs. Katz, who also recognized a fragment of handkerchief found with them. Then she remembered that on the day she missed them she had tied the dia monds up In a handkerchief, after bath ing, and had thrust them Into the bosom of her dress. The handkerchief, with tho Jewel.!, had evidently fallen in the sand and had become covered before anyone noticed them. In and OHt of a Boston Alley. New York Times. "I always knew Boston was a zigzag town," said E. D. Kenna, general solic itor of the Santa Fe, to a group of friends recently, "but it really shocked me when I got lost between a theater and my ho tel. I came out of the playhouse and started off with confidence. If not to say Joyousness. Pretty soon a broad and un familiar front presented Itself athwart my path, and I wondered where I was. About this time one of those urban dere licts with whom we are all familiar shur fled up to me and began: " 'Say, boss, could you let a fellow have a few pennies to help out a night's lodging?' "I looked at him; In fact, I almost em braced him. He was a life preserver, so to speak. " 'No,' I said, 'it Isn't lodging you need; It's a good stiff tlrlnk of rye. Honest, now. isn't it?' " 'On my soul 'n honor, boss,' he began, but I stopped him. "' Yes, I know you're hungry, but you v.S-,1 f, i- need a drink first So do I. We'll go down here to Young's and have a drink and then I'll give you the money for a night's lodging. "He grinned and led the way. What I would have done If he hadn't led the way is sad to contemplate. Young's was only around the corner, but I was too glad to get there to compare expenses with dis tances. My seedy friend and l enterea the hotel, and, as it was after hours, we had to maneuver for a drink. But I was determined to make my word good and I ordered sandwiches and whisky. They brought glasses and a black bottle, and we drank together. Meantime, some of my friends came in, and I got nervous. Not so with my companion. The first potation made him self-confident; the sec ond provoked his speech. I was wondering how to shake him off, when he gave me an opening. " 'Sir,' he said, smiting himself on the chest. 'I am not what I seem.' " 'Neither am I!' I responded quickly, and then and there made a bolt for the door, having previously given him the price of a night's lodging." TARIFFREDUCTION PROSPECTS President McKinley Investigating the Subject of Reciprocity. WASHINGTON, July 31. (Special to the New York Journal of Commerce.) Much as some of the Republican leaders In Congress deprecate the talk of tariff reduction, that subject continues to be the popular theme of discussion In politi cal and Congressional circles. There may be no general revision of the tariff sched ule, but It cannot be denied that some of the most Influential men in the dominant party are considering a reformation of the tariff. President McKinley himself Is reported, as engaged in the study of the commercial situation and giving deep and earnest thought to the subject of reciproc ity, which 19 now understood to be an other name for tariff reductions. Those who have visited the President re cently at Canton. O., say that he Is de voting his vacation to working out poli cies of his Administration, and one of the most Important subjects to which he Is giving attention Is that of reciprocity. Despite the failure of the French and West Indian treaties In the Senate last year, the Administration hopes for more favorable consideration of these commer cial conventions at the next session of Congress. There are a few Influential Senators who are opposed to reciprocity treaties and who were able In the short session lat year to delay action on those negotiated by Special Envoy Kasson. Since Congress adjourned, however, new conditions seem to have arisen which irfhy work a change in sentiment among the Senators. At all events it Is understood to be the purpose of the Administration early In the session to propose reciprocal conventions with various countries with the expectation of having them acted upon before adjournment. There has been some discussion also of a method of overcoming the opposition In the Senate. It Is realized that to secure a two-thirds majority for a reciprocity treaty Is very difficult where the deter mined opposition of half a dozen Sena tors is encountered. They can form com binations In the customary log-rolling processes of legislation that can prevent the necessary majority being secured. To avoid the necessity of a two-thirds vote the proposition has been made that a general tariff bill be Introduced which will provide a sort of sliding scale In the rates of duty. The Idea Is to fix a maxi mum and minimum tariff rate giving the President power to Impose one or the other according to the commercial ar rangements that may be made with for eign countries. Such a power is now practically exercised under the Dlngley law In the Imposition of countervailing duties upon beet sugar. It Is claimed by the advocates of thl3 scheme that It would permit of more favorable com merlclai agreements and would be a safe guard against sudden discriminations by foreign nations, because the executive would have the right at onco to meet discrimination of higher duties by corre sponding increases on goods coming from the nation Imposing them. One cause of the renewed discussion of tariff and reciprocity Is the threatened high tariff In Germany. While some offi cials, like Secretary Wilson, of the Agri cultural Department, affect to believe that the high German duties will not have any great effect upon American exports to that country because the goods we send to Germany are needed by her people and must be had, no matter what the duty, still It Is recognized generally that these high rates are a menace to the commerce of the United States with Germany. If the proposed tariff Is en acted by the Reichstag Is Is believed here that steps at once will be begun toward negotiating a reciprocity treaty with Ger many. The trade between the (wo coun tries is too large and too much In favor of the United States to be risked In a tariff war between the countries. Last year we Imported from Germany $1C0,93, 6C6 worth of goods, and exported to that country $191,072,252. A glance at the prin cipal Imports and exports involved In this commerce will give an Idea of the basis there may be for reciprocity negotiations.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 9. Grand Chief Morrissey, of the Brotherhood of Train men, was shown a dispatch from Wash ington today, quoting ex-Attorney-General Monnett, of Ohio, as saying that the trainmen were In consultation with the Amalgamated Association officials with a view ot joining in their proposed quo warranto proceedings against the steel combination for violating the anti trust laws. ' '"So far as our organization Is con cerned," said Mr. Morrissey, "there Is no foundation for the statement. We have not been approached on the subject and, personally, I do not think it probable that the trainmen will become involved in the matter." "King" and "Queen's" Origin. This great Interest In the exact form of King Edward's title is naturally hard to understand In republican America. But in monarchical countries the question has generally beentaken very seriously, not withstanding that primitively a King and Quoen, as their etymologies' show, had very small nominal distinction. "King," it Is said, originally was the "knowing" or "cunning" man, who, by virtue of his ability, headed his fellows. The three words are In their root meaning of the closest inter-relationship. Queen at first was particularly non-dlstlnctlve, as In Anglo-Saxon. It simply signifies a "wom an," and still appears In ordinary Eng lish, usually in a contemptible way, as "Quean" and "cotquean." 1bl al GREAT OREGON CAVERNS WONDERFUL LIMESTONE GROT TOES IN JOSEPHINE COUNTY. Winding Labyrinths of Chambers and Passages, Miles of Whlck Are Yet Unexplored. GRANT'S PASS. Or., Aug. 9. The great est natural wonder of the Pacific Coast Is the Josephine caves of Southern Ore gon, 42 miles south of Grant's Pass. These were discovered only a few year3 ago by a hunter, who pursued a bear to its den in the entrance to the caves. They are situated in the heart of Grayback Mountain, surrounded by the rugged ranges of the Cascades. The vicinity la composed of deep canyons and rugged mountain peaks, with Tippling streams and tall pines everywhere. The caves are reached by a road and trail over which, with a few exceptional steeps, a bicycle can be ridden the entire distance. It Is a fine ride In the Sum mer time. The road winds through woods delightful with the ceaseless babble and murmur of mountain brooks, the singing of birds and chirp of wood squir rels. It would require days of constant work to explore all of the passages and tun nels found In the Josephine caves. So extensive are these limestone labyrinths that they are conceded by geologists to be the largest of their kind In the world. In each "of the many subterranean, chambers Is found a different formation of the stalactite and stalagmite lime stone growths, that deck the celling and floors like great, gayly arranged beds of crystallized roses. In some chambers these clusters are short and pointed. In others long; then some have round or blunt points, some of the chambers possess growths of a yellow or light brown color, and other halls are found where the protruding limestone Is as white and brilliant as the crest of a snow-capped ptak. The labyrinths consist of two entrances and likewise two caves, the upper and lower. Between these caves there ex ists this difference: The upper one Is pos sessed of fine stalactite formations, while In the lower one there are none. The lower caves instead have Immense piles of limestone boulders, heaped Indiscriminate ly one upon the other, with geat cracks between. Long ladders are used to climb to the tops of these rocks, over the sides of which yawning chasms and pits can be seen, bottomless in their dark depths. The distance between the upper and lower caves can be made by the explorer climbing from rock to rock by the aid of ropes. Within the caves is no trace of foul air or deadly gas. A strong wind Issues from the entrance, making It diffi cult at times to keep a torch lit. This current of air gives proof of a correspond ing opening to the caves on the opposite side of the mountain, which as yet re mains undiscovered. The caves consist of an intricate and Immense honey-ccmb of chambers and passages, large and small. There are no parallel walls, few straight ones, but corners everywhere. Beautiful stalactites and stalagmites stand out In bold relief against snow-white walls of limestone. At the farther end of the upper cave, going In one direction, an Immense cham ber, known as the "Devil's Banquet Hall," Is found. This is 150 feet across, with a domed celling that stands 60 feet from the floor at the highest point Myriads of long and needle-pointed stalactites hang suspended from the vault, while over the floor, boulders of limestone, all of uniform size, are strewn In confusion. From the entrance to this great hall one stands and looks across by the aid of his torch to the opposite wall, where yawning cavities, with great open mouths of darkness, show their hideous limestone teeth. Prancing shadows dance hither and thither as the torchbeam3 flicker. It requires no lmagr Inatlve effort to see His Satanic Majesty holding high carnival, while a hundred Imps caper through the dark recesses of the cavern, dancing the everlasting night away. From the "Devil's Banquet Hall," as from the many other caverns of the caves, an endless number of labyrinths ramify Into the unknown. Many of the passages have been explored and many others have not. None of them has been penetrated to a greater distance than half a mile. It Is a dangerous pursuit, following the tunnels of the caves. In some places they widen out to such an extent that several teams could be driven abreast through them; In others they are so narrow and low ' as to be passed through only on hands and knees. It would be suicide for one not acquainted with them to attempt to explore the caves without a guide. One might wander In helpless bewilderment through regions of gloom for days or months without finding an outlet from, this mountain prison. No trace can be found showing that these caves have ever been Inhabited by human beings. These dungeons were mo3t probably unknown to the historic cave dwellers of old. From the celling of each and all of the many chambers of the caves countless stalactites depend, and projecting points of limestone needles are suspended. These myriad needles in the unsteady glare and flickering beams of the torches present a scene of wonderful beauty. They re mind one of a huge Arctic grotto, from which a million Icicles hang. For cen turies and ages these multitudes of lime stone stalactites have been forming, and are still forming and growing, for at the point of each hangs a solitary drop of water. Watch It for a few moments, and In the light It reflects a myriad of glit tering beams more brilliant than a dia mond could reflect; then the tiny drop quivers, lengthens, wavers for a moment and falls upon the point of the protruding stalagmites below.
