BULLETS ALL CO WILD Natives Waiting for Brander Have to Run to Cover, MORE FIGHTING IMMINENT from the President of the republic, there Is no trouble In HaytL There la not even any fear of an uprising; the country Is perfectly quiet." A-Runr OFFICER IS DISMISSED. Chines'e Commander Forbids His Subordinates to Make Known Any Plots Against the - English. SPECIAL .CABLT2 TO THE LONDON TIMES AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN. GTANGSTE, May 9. via Klatso, May 32. There was heavy firing on the Brit ish position here all day today (Monday) from the, enclosure at Jong, which Is held by more' than 1000 well-armed Thibetans. There were, however, no casualties among the British, but one native camp follower was hit In the hip with a rifle ball and died a few hours afterward. ' A detachment of British mounted In fantry made a sally against a force of mounted natives, who were patrolling the road leading toward TCaro Pass, along which Colonel Brander and his men are expected to return to this place. The Thibetans broke and fled before the at tacking forces arrived, and there were few casualties among the natives. "While the Thibetans remain In force at Jong and the Buddhist monastery near there, the garrison here will continue to be subjected to periodical attacks to which, however, the British garrison will soon be in a good position to reply, as em bankments are being rapidly constructed along the compound on which are to be mounted several rapid-fire guns which will sweep the native position. The Thi betans are visible In large numbers, but scurry for cover as soon as the British riflemen begin a long-range fire on their camp. 4n Pitiable State of Terror. The native commander who was cap tured In the first attack of the natives is In a pitiable state of terror, believing that he is being held as a hostage and knowing that his former associates will not refrain from attacking the British po sition simply because their former chief is such a hostage. The mounted Infantry today brought in a Chinese omcial who had been on terms of more or fess Intimacy with the British officers. When asked by Captain O'Con nor why the Suzerain power gave the British garrison of Gyangtse no warning wat they were to be attacked, he stated that the Chinese commander in Thibet had Issued no order to his subordinates to assist the English in any way. It is reported that there are many monks from the Sera Monastery in the force now hold ing Jong, which is commanded by two Thibetan chieftains, who were frequent visitors to the British camp at Hamba Jong last year. The Jong position is be ing dally strengthened, and new guns are being brought In from the direction of L'Hassa. General Mar, In command of the Chi nese troops In Thibet, Is reported to have "been dified openly by Thibetans, who have refused to grant him permission to go to Shlgatse.

She Will Recognize the Canton Rail road as United States Institution. WASHINGTON, May 1L The Adminis tration has concluded to continue to rec ognize the Canton railroad as an. Amer ican Institution, notwithstanding the fact that a majority of the stock of the corpo ration recently passed Into the hands of Belgian capitalists.

PARIS, May 1L United States Consul General Gowdy recently received a letter from an American girl saying she was locked up in a provincial jail without any charge having been made against her. The Consul-General sent a representative to the jail and secured the girl's release and return to Paris. He then cabled to her parents, residing at Decatur, Ga., re questing funds for her return to America. The girl related a sensational story. She asserted she had been abducted by an American seeking to marry her, and said she accompanied him on an automobile tour, was locked up In a room in a coun try hotel, escaped and attempted to walk across the country, but was arrested as a wanderer by the French authorities. Inquiries made by Mr. Gowdy's repre sentatives established fhe correctness of her detention at the provincial Jail, but the story of her abduction was not veri fied, except by her statement, which has been reduced to an affidavit before the Consul. The names of the persons are withheld, as no legal steps have been taken against the alleged abductor owing to the doubtful character of some of the accusations. Pending arrival of funds, the girl Is being cared for by the Ameri can Young Men's Christian Association. Weli-Known in Atlanta.

LINCOLN, STOREKEEPER HAVE DONE WITH IT? That little Lincoln anecdote of ours yester day caused some favorable comment of this store and its business ethics. It set us think inglike this. We read of a reputable store advertising "100-yard, 3c spool sik, lc spool." Now this -wasn't any of our good local con freresso don't think we're "throwing stones." A curious chap measured the silk on that spool and what do you think he found? Exactly 45 YARDS INSTEAD OF 100. Per haps that store didn't know it was selling 45 yards for 100 th8 spool was stamped "No. A. 100," and the 100 might have been taken to mean 100 yards. So termed "ounce spools" in some -stores weigh five-sixth of an ounce, Now, what is a storekeeper to do about such things? Customers have no time to measure or weigh every spool, nor have stores. What would "A. LINCOLN STOREKEEPER" have done? Exactly what we have gone to reputable makers of dependable goods whose reputation was worth more than the few cents made by "skimping."
