SHOUTS OF VICTORY
Liberals Make House of Com
mons Resound.
CALL ON BALFOUR TO RESIGN
Defeat of Loder at Brighton a Body
Blow to Unionists Balfour
Sneaks Out and Is Sav
agely Denounced.
X.ONDON, April 5. The House o Com
mons tonight was the scene of a re
markable demonstration based upon the
iefcat of a government candidate in the
bye-election for Brighton, a constituency
which for 20 years had not failed to re
turn Conservative or Unionist candidates
lor Parliament by majorities of 2000 and
upward.
The House had been engaged in con
sideration of a resolution offered by Sir
William Tomlinson, Conservative, de
claring that "in view of the peril to
which the industries of the United King
dom are exposed by too great dependence
on the United States as the source of
supply of cotton and the good results of
operations already undertaken by the
British Cotton-growing Association, the
House desires to express its appreciation
of the benefits derived by the encourage
ment afforded by the government to the
association and looks to a continuance
of good offices as essential to the speedy
development of the resources of the col
onies, dependencies and protectorates for
the maintenance of employment in one
of the great national industries."
A number of members spoke In support
of extension of the British cotton-growing
territory. Mr. Emmett (Liberal) said
the cotton-growers of the United States
were already jealous of the government
experiments in the West Indies.
Exultant Liberals Interrupt.
While a somewhat desultory and unin
teresting debate was dragging on, there
was a rush of opposition members from
the lobbies shouting with joy over the
Liberal victory In Brighton, where Ger
ald Loder was seeking re-election on his
recent appointment as Junior Lord of
the Treasury, the Liberal candidate be
ing E. Villlers.
"Villlers is in'." was the cry. which
was received with great cheering. Pre
mier Balfour, Who was just then enter
ing the house, was greeted with shouts
of "Resign!" "Resign!"
Colonial Secretary Lyttloton had been
peaking when the Interruption came
and after the demonstration had been
quieted, continued, . saying that since
l?Kir2 the production of cotton Inside the
British Empire had trebled. The govern
ment, he added, had not relaxed Its ef
forts looking to a further Increase. Ho
trusted that Lancashire would assist tho
work more liberally in the future.
The resolution was adopted unanimous
ly. Mr. Balfour left the House almost
-mmediately.
Beginning of the End.
On a motion to adjourn an extraordin
ary scene occurred. Mr. Lloyd-George,
Advanced Liberal, said he had Intended
to question the Premier on the fate that
has befallen a member of the adminis
tration at Brighton. He complained that
on receiving notice that the question
would be raised, the Premier had delib
erately left the House. The Premier's
discourtesy to the House, he said, was
becoming absolutely offensive.
Several members spoke In support of
.Mr. Lloyd-George, declaring that the
Government ought to resign.
Winston Churchill said it looked like
the beginning of the end, and that it
was retribution on the government for
its shams and shuffles and for the man
ner In which the Premier had treated
Parliament.
Sir Alexander Acland-Hood, represent
ing the government on the, treasury
bench, having declined to accede to the
request to adjourn till Monday In order
to enable the government to consider its
position, the House adjourned amid loud
opposition laughter.
UNIONISTS ARE WORRIED.
Vainly Try to Explain Defeat Bal
four and Chamberlain Confer.
LONDON, April 6. Unionist editorial
articles this morning reflect the consterna
tion caused by tho unexpectedly heavy
blow, of the Brighton election. Various at
tempts are made to explain the defeat
away. The Standard appeals to Promler
Balfour to. issue a stirring address or call
a meeting of his followers and take them
Into his confidence.
Mr. .Balfour had a long conference with
Joseph Chamberlain last night.
The position of Gerald Loder, the de
feated candidate, is very peculiar. His
duties as Junior Lord of the 'Treasury are
nothing more than a party whip, but ho
has now no seat in Parliament.
BALFOUR LOSES A STRONGHOLD
Brighton Elects 'Liberal for First
Time in Twenty Years.
LONDON, April 5. The most striking
overturning of a Lnionlst majority
among the recent defeats in bye-olec
tions was recorded at Brighton today.
when Gerald Loder, Unionist, recently
appointed Junior Lord of the Treasury.
was defeated by E. Villlers, Liberal. Va
lors' majority was S17.
The Conservative majority at Brighton
in the past 20 years was never less than
2000. Mr. Loder was seeking re-election
at this time on his appointment as Junior
Lord of .the Treasury.
The election turned almost altogether
on the fiscal question. The Liberals did
not expect to win, but would have been
well satisfied with a reduction of the
hitherto consistent Conservative majority.
EMPEROR GIVES UP STRUGGLE
No Agreement in Hungarian Crisis
After Repeated Conferences.
VIENNA. April 5. Emperor Francis Jo
seph returned thlB evening from Buda
pest. All his efforts to secure a solution
of the Hungarian Cabinet crisis have been
.fruitless, and today the situation Is prac
tically the same as it was two months
ago. The lower house of Parliament ap
parently will continue In session, deepite
the Emperor's request that it adjourn
until a solution can be reached, and
there Is danger that the debates In the
House will lead to.greatcr trouble between
the crown and the opposition Parliament
ary majority.
The old Ministry, of which Count Tisza
is the head, remains, but lta members
practically are only the crown's execu
tives. There is little probability of legis
lation, even that which Is most needful,
under the present circumstances, the mi
nority being absolutely opposed to the
Ministry. '
It is seml-offlcially announced here to
night that the demand? of the combined
opposition in military matters, the most
important of which is the use of Hungar
ian as the language of command, cannot
be obtained in a constitutional manner,
and that decisive steps by the crown
toward a settlement of the crisis will
only be taken after the" combined opposi
tion has shown whether It purposes to at
tempt to gain Its demands unconstitution
ally or not. This meana. in other words.
that the crown says to the opposition:
"We will wait what you are going to do."
A report which is current this evening
to the offect that Emperor Francis Joseph
purposes talking over with the heir appar
ent. Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the en
tire Hungarian situation, causes consid
erable interesting comment, because It
will be the first Instance of the Emperor
consulting his probable successor concern
ing affairs of state.
Roosevelt the Jews' Best Friend.
LONDON. Anril 5. Speaking at a ban
quet, Israel Zangwlll declared last night
that in the whole history of the world
the Jews never had a better friond than
President Roosevelt.
Referring to Great Britain's" offer of ter
ritory in East Africa, he said the bulk
thereof might be of use for rearing goats.
but it was doubtful whether a settlement
500 miles from tho sea offered sufficient
basis for a prosperous Jewish colony.
If Encland really wished to offer a so
lution to the Jewish question.' said Mr.
Zangwlll, "she should enable them to
expand under the same self-governing
conditions over a considerable adjoining
area, so they might be inspired to colo
nization on a great scale.
Think All Americans Are Thieves.
ST. PETERSBURG, April i.-Queer
ideas of American life are being dissemi
nated by American correspondents of Rus
sian papers. A correspondent of the
Journal de St Petersburg draws a rare
picture of the dlehonesty which he says
pervades the highest circles. The pre
cautions taken by social leaders to pre
vent their guests from being jobbed by
one anotner, ana tens or me consierna
toion produced at a White House recep
tion by a sudden failure of the lights, the
re-Illumlnation showing that the ladles
had hastily divested themselves of their
jewels and concealed them, the men hold
ing their pocket-books for fear of being
pounced upon and robbed by neighbors.
Stevens Dies of Injuries.
LONDON. April 5. A private tele
gram from Monte Carlo says that
Frank Stevens, one of the two Ameri
cans injured in an automobile accident
near Monte Carlo, April 3, Is dead.
Stevens' companion, Louis Hay, who
was hurt at the same time, is making
progress towards recovery. The body
of Stevens -will be sent to America.
CHANGE IS CHARTER.
St. Johns City Attorney-Elect Will
Resign.
Judge S. H. Green, elected City Attor
ney of St. Johns, will place his resigna
tion in the -hands of Mayor-elect W. H.
King as soon as the latter is regularly
Installed in office, in order to avoid future
legal complications that may arise con
cerning his eligibility. While the charter
that has been printed and under which the
recent election was held is the one which
passed the House and Senate and
received the signature of the Governor
It is not exactly the charter that is on file
In the office of the Secretary of State. The
charter as printed, so It is claimed, and
as passed by the Legislature makes the
office of City Attorney elective, but the
charter as filed In the office of the Secre
tary of State makes the office of City
Attorney appointive. It is charged that
the change was made after the passage
of the charter bill and-before it was filed
In the office of Secretary of State. Judge
Green said yesterday that there Is no
question about the change being made
after the charter had been passed.
"I have a letter from Mr. Gatens," said
Judge Green, "that says the charter on
file fn Salem makes the office of City
Attorney appointive. There were no
amendments made to the charter in either
house. We were not allowed to get hold
of It for that purpose, so this change must
have been made afterwards, and for ray
benefit, as for the past five years I have
not been on the best of terms with the
people who got up the charter and got
it through. They thought that I was
really the only available man for the
office of City Attorney, so they thought
that if made elective I might be elected;
therefore, the charter was altered, mak
ing the office, appointive. They claimed
that the printed charter, making tho of
fice of City Attorney elective, was wrong.
and said that tho correct charter on filo
in the office of Secretary of State, mak
ing It appointive, is the correct charter,
and hence neither the Citizens nor Inde
pendent tickets made nomination for the
office. Only the Good Government people
nominated me for the office. I shall re
sign and give Mr. King opportunity to
ppolnt an attorney to prevent possible
legal complications. If any question should
arise as to the legal Interpretation of the
charter, concerning the election of the
City Attorney, of course recourse would
be had to the charter on file in the office
of the Secretary of State. If 1 resign,
that will make the office vacant, and then
the Mayor can legally appoint a City At
torney to nil tne vacancy, uwing to tne
peculiar situation of the charter I can
Imagine legal complications might arise
over matters with which the City At
torney deals, and I don't want to cm-

have confidence that Mayor-elect King
will merit the confidence the people have
placed in him. The Good Government
people arc well pleased with his election
The men "who have been elected to the

KAISER TOOK FIRST STEP
AGREEMENT FOR CHINESE NEU
TRALITY DUE TO HIM.
State Department Papers Show Part
He TookWhile Other Powers
Hesitated, He Spoke Out.
WASHINGTON, April 5. That It was
upon the suggestion of Emperor William
that President Roosevelt. last February,
undertook to arrange certain actions on
tho part of the neutral powers for the
purpose of Inducing the belligerents In the
Far Eastern War to respect tho neutral
ity of China, Is for the first time offi
cially disclosed in the advance sheets of
foreign relations made public at the State
Department today. It has been hinted
for a long time Jhat the German Emperor
was the initiatory force In these Import
ant exchanges, but It has until now been
impossible to obtain any official confirma
tion of the fact.
In the correspondence with Germany. Is
included a paraphrase of a cablegram ad
dressed by Secretary Hay to Mr. Tower,
the American Ambassador at Berlin, Feb
ruary 15, after Germany's acceptance of
the Invitation of .Secretary Hay had been
received directing the Ambassador "to
convey to the Emporor the Presidents
profound appreciation of his generous In
illative and powerful co-operation In the
matter of Chinese neutrality."
The official paraphrase of Mr. Towers
reply, dated Fobruary 17, reads:
"Mr. Tower reports that he conveyed to
the Emperor the profound appreciation of
tho President of his initiative and co
operation in tho matter of Chinese neu
trality, and that the Emperor was ex
ceedingly gratified and expressed most
friendly sentiments toward the Presi
dent." It is significant that in the acknowl
edgment of the acceptances by the other
powers of tho programme suggested by
Secretary Hay In his note of February
8. only in the case of Germany did the
President send a personal message of
appreciation to the sovereign.
It Is not possible to state that the rea
son Germany's Initiative was kept secret
was because of the German Emperors
belief that the suggestion about Chlneso
neutrality would be the moro certain
of success If emanating from Washing
ton, particularly In view of Secretary
Hay's previous activities In the same di
rection after the Boxer troubles of 1S00.
Accordingly, his suggestion was conveyed
to the President through Speck von Stern
berg, the German Ambassador. Secre
tary Hay returned at once from thp
South, and after a conference with the
President and the German Ambassador,
undertook the far-reaching diplomatic
move to which Is due the fact that
China's neutrality has thus far been for
the most part respected by Russia and
Japan.
At the present moment the iurther
disclosures In the now volume of for
eign relations regarding- the attitude
of the several powers toward the Hay
proposal of last February are signifi
cant. It Is shown that Lord Lansdowne.
before Indicating Great Britain's ac
ceptance, desired to know whether
Manchuria- wjuj included within the
paraphrase "neutrality of China." He
was answered in general terms that It
was the desire of the Washington Gov
ernment to secure the smallest area of
hostilities and the largest possible area
of neutrality compatible with the mil
itary necessities of the belligerents.
France, through M. Delcasse, accord
ing to Ambassador Porter's report.
while receiving the proposal In the best
Bplrit, showed "a little anxiety to
know the exact significance of tne
nhrase "administrative entity." This
phrase, it can be stated, was not in
eluded in Emperor William's sugges
tion, which concerned the general ques
tion of Chinese neutrality, but was the
creation of Secretary Hay. Later
France signified her full acceptance.
Italy preferred to await the views of
the Cabinets at Berlin, Paris and Lon
don before actively participating in the
plan and Austria-Hungary was equal
ly reticent. Ambassador Storer says of
his interview with Count Goluchowskl
on the subject that the Foreign Minis
ter "was quite cool anil rather pessi
mistlc, so far as any effect could be
anticipated.
In making known tho answer of tho
German government Ambassador
Tower reported that "the German gov
ernment sympathizes fully with tne
purpose of the United States on bohalf
of humanity, the protection of foreign
ers in China, the maintenance of order
and tho safeguarding of the commerce
of the world," and that Germany be
licves that to attain these purposes
the support of tne neutrality of China
would be the most available moans,
and the German government Is pre
pared to act in harmony with the
United States and the other neutral
powers to assure the neutrality of
China Insofar as this may bo compatl
ble with the respective military Inter
ests of the belligerent powers.
NO FEAR OF BOXER OUTBREAK
Conger Disposes of False Alarm
Raised by Russia..
WASHINGTON, April 5. Russia lias
been informed by the United States that.
so far as the American Minister at
Pokln. Mr. Conger, has been able to find
out. the reported anti-foreign movements
in China are not unusual In extent or
character. The Russian government re
cently requested Secretary Hay to in
quire into this matter, which was a
cause of some anxiety at SL Petersburg.
Mr. Conger says that during the past
year he received information at various
times of tho existence and activity of
certain secret societies In different prov
Inces. The societies have existed dur
ing the whole period of the Manchu rule,
and as a rule, local rebellions occur near
ly every year. The aim of the societies.
Mr. Conger says, Is to overthrow the
present Manchu dynasty, and at times
they have attacked foreigners. Mr. Con
ger finds that at presont these societies
are not unusually-, active except in tho
province of Kuangsl, and that there the
movement Is wholly antl-dynastlc.
Before receiving his Instructions Mr,
Conger already had called the attention
of the Chinese Foreign Office to the re
ports in circulation and had been as
sured in a note that the .rumors as to
such wore baseless; that a society of
bandits had been discovered at Tsuchou
in this province. Chill, and several of Its
members arrested and that the Governor
of Hunan had Informed the Chinese gov
ornment of the arrest and execution of
two members of the society at Anyang,
In that province. Concluding his re
port. Mr. Conger says:
I have the honor to state that, in my
opinion, while more or less dissatisfaction
exists throughout the country, It is not un
usual in extent or character. The secret
societies are chiefly anti-dynastic In the!
forms, but are also hostile to foreigners and
.were they able to effect a general rising,
undoubtedly would attack foreigners as well
as the Imperial officers, civil and military
But these societies aro scattered over an
enormous extent of country, arc widely sep
arated from one another, and are not work
lng in harmony. Every attempt to create
a disturbance has been futile so far, except
in Kuangsl and there the rebels held nottv
ing but their mountain fastnesses. The cen
tral government is alert and determined to
prevent any disturbance of the peace and Is
earnest In Its efforts to' protect all foreign
lives and property.
MUST IMPROVE THE WHANGPU
Hay Calls Attention to China's Neg
lect of Her Agreement.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-ChIna's failure
to assist the powers In undertaking the
. lmnrovement of tho Whangpu River, as
she was pledged by the peace protocol of
1991 to do. and the inability of the Ameri
can Minister at Pekln to obtain any satis
factory explanation on the subject, caused
Secretary Hay recently to address the
Government's signatory to the Pekln peace
protocol on the subject
Mr. Hay expressed this Government's
acceptance of China's conditions that the
protocol be so amended as to enable China
to undertake the entire work unaided by
the powers. This acceptance, however.
was conditional on the presentation by
China of good and sufficient guarantees
that "China would promptly begin tho
work, carry it to a satisfactory conclusion
and maintain it afterward."
The other powers wero asked to instruct
their diplomats at Pekln In accordance
with this last proposition. Thus far China
has not fulfilled the Secretary's condi
tions.
Japanese Minister Will Rest.
WASHINGTON, April 5. Minister Taka-
hlra, of the Japanese delegation, called on
Secretary Taft today and told him that
on account of the state of his health he
would be compelled to leave Washington
for a different climate. He also states
that there have been no further develop
ments toward a settlement of the war.
The Secretary and the Minister arranged
to communicate with each other In case
anything happens to make It necessary.
Hay Enjoys Genoese Climate.
GENOA, Italy, April 5. Secretary
and Mrs. Hay, who are stopping at tho
Hotel Isotta, again took a drive to
day. Mr. Hay is looking better every
day, and says the bracing air is In
vigorating him.'
GENOA,. April 5. Secretary Hay and
wife and Airs. Adams went this after
noon to Nervl, where they expect to re
main about two weeks at the Hotel Eden.
General Gillespie Will Retire.
WASHINGTON, April 5. Major-General
Gillespie, of the Army, will retire June IS
at his own request. Brigadier-General
Randall will be promoted to the vacancy.
FRAIL BRIDGE COLLAPSES.
Twenty People Fall In Palouse River
and One Drowns.
COLFAX, Wash., April 6. By the col
lapse of the sidewalk on the footpath of
the bridge across the Palouse River in.the
heart of the city a score of young people
were precipitated Into the shallow stream
below. Less than an hour later the life
less body of Miss Mary Onstot, of Asotin,
was found.
When .the footpath collapsed the
screams of the unfortunates could bo
heard for blocks. Added to the con
fusion were the darkness of the spot
and the difficulty of getting the half
strangled people up the steep banks from
tne water. But tho work of rescue was
done quickly and It was thought com
pletely until the body of the young wo-
wan was found.
She had struck a timber in the fall and
It is believed had made her wav to the
bank only to wander In a dazed condition
into the river again, there to drown.
The glee club from Pullman, after sriv-
Ing a successful entertainment In the
theater, had walked to the bridge, where
tho members, accompanied by other Pull
man citizens and a host of Colfax friends-.
were waiting for tho special train to
Pullman. Tho weight of the crowd was
too much for the frail. supports and they
gave way for a dlstanco of ten or 15 feet.

HINDOOS IN A PANIC
Earthquake Reduces Whole
- - Town to Ruins.
MANY EUROPEANS ARE KILLED
Dharmsala Is Razed to Earth Rocks
Roll From Mountains and Crush
Whole Village Hundreds
Of Lives Are Lost.
'CALCUTTA, April 5. Later advices
from various cities tell a tale of severe
damage to property arirfn from the
earthquakes on the morning of Apm 4,
hut It Is Impossible as yet to estimate the
extent of the loss of life. No news nas
et been received of damago to buildings
at Atrra. No loss of life is reported from
Delhi, but many buildings were damaged.
Visitors from ilussorec report consid
erable damage to private property. It Is
a curious fact that the older houses In
Mussoree received less damage than mod
ern buildings. The only fatalities yet re
ported there were two natives. Many
houses were completely aemouaneu. ins
fissures In the roads have been closed
and repairs to buildings have "beei start
ed. Tho weather was bright and warm
when the earthquake occurred.
Four or five shocks yesterday evening
caused a Blight recrudescence of the panic.
The latest dispatch from Delhi reports
that no further shocks had occurred up to
midnight.
Dharmsala Is Destroyed.
Dharmsala Station. S5 miles northwest
of Simla, was destroyed, all the houses

as tho bazaar is In ruins. Urgent de
mands for medical assistance have been
sent to Lahore. Reports indicate that
Dharmsala felt tho full force of the shock.
The deaths include C. W. Loxton, who
only the previous day had assumed the
office of District Judge from Captain El
liott, who, with his family, left the same
day, escaping the shock. Mrs. Loxton's
fate Is not known Others who perished
were F. M. Levi, C. T. Young, T. Miller
and F. Farleys. all public officials; Cap
tain Muscroft, Mrs. and two Misses Rob
inson. Colonel Robinson appears to have
survived.
The hills show the worst effects of the
shock, though information is very meager
from some of the Summer stations where
telegraph offices have not opened, like the
Vale of Kashmir, communication with
which has ejfidcntly been cut off by land
slides or accidents to the line.
Many Natives Killed.
At Frozur (40 miles sduthwest of La
hore) Amtrltsar, Tarana, Dehra Dun and
Srlnagar many natives were killed or In
jured.
Stories from Mussoree state that the
reverberation which preceded the shock
never will bo forgotten by those who
heard It. The mountains heaved and
swayed a full minute and then three se
vere shocks, each lasting a few seconds,
were felt In quick succession. Between
6 o'clock In the morning of April 4 and
midnight there were 12 shocks. The day
was fine and clear and most of the in
habitants were already up when the flrsl
shock came. Those who were still in
bed described the motion as being like
that of a ship in a storm, while those
on foot found It Impossible to maintain
their balance. Many narrow escapes are
reported. The eeffct of the shock In sick
ness and dizziness with many still con
tinues. A number of people slept out
doors during tho whole of last night.
WRECKED BY AN EARTHQUAKE
Nine Europeans and Many Natives
Killed at Dharmsala.
LAHORE!. India, April 5. The hill sta
tion of Dharmsala was practically razed
to the ground by the earthquakes. Tho
native quarter was entirely obliterated,
many of the Inhabitants were burled in
the ruins, most of the houses In the Eu
ropean quarter were wrecked, and nine
persons were killed. The people are
sleeping In tho open air, food Is not pro
curable, and tho great distress prevailing
Is accentuated oy keen fro3t. The en
tire population Is homeless and encamped
on the adjoining hillsides wltnout protec
tlon and practically entirely without med
ical aid. A relief party was dispatched
from here to Dharmsala today.
Tho Europeans killed at Dharmsala
were Mrs. Robinson, wife of the Colonel
commanding tho troops there, and her
two daughters, Mrs Holdorness, Captain
Muscroft and four members of the Indian
Civil Service.
Although almost every house and some
if the public buildings sustained very se
rious damages and while there were a con
lderable number of fatalities, yet on the
whole the city's civil stations seem to
have stood the severe nnd prolonged shock
better than might have been expected.
Considering the number of heavy domes,
slender minarets and cupolas poised on
light columns and the tall houses with

At the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Insti
tute. Bufralo, N. Y., Dr. Pierce, chief con
sulting surgeon, started experiments, eome
three years ago. with the Finaen light in
conjunction with the X-ray in the treat
ment of diseases. He got excellent results
therefrom, and was among the first to adapt
this remarkable cure tomaay cases which
it was fbrmerlT supposed must of necessity
be treated by tne knife.
Not only is Dr. R. V. Pierce notable for
his surgical achievements at his hospibsl in
Bufxalo, hut nearly a third of a century ago
he discovered certain foots and herbs
which were nature's remedies, and suc
ceeded in putting them up in a form that
would be easily procured and ready to use.
This he called Dr. Pierce'a Golden Medical
Discovery. It maintains the patient's nu
trition by enabling him to eat, retain, digest
and assimilate nutritious food. It over
comes gastric irritability and symptoms of
indigestion, and in this way fever, nlght
aweaus, headaches, etc., are doue away with.
It fortifies the body against the germs of
consumption, grip and malaria, it builds
up the tissues and puts on healthy flesh.

the body in health and disease, also medi
cine and surgery, without technicalities,

a wonder that more serious destruction
and greater los? of life did not result.
The wildest rumors were In circulation
today, giving circumstantial details of
ruins and fatalities, but these have not
been confirmed.
The mortality of this city Is estimated
at between 50 and 100. all natives. No
Europeans are reported missing.
YAQTJIS ARE SPREADING TERROR
Murder and Pillage Mark Their Trail
Through Mexico.
EL PASO, Tex.. April .John St. Clair,
a well-known prospector, whose state
ments are considered reliable, has returned
from the YaquI country near Urcs, Sono
ra. and reports that the Indians are still
on the warpath. He says that Malpuche.
the old chief, Is at the head, of a band of
over EO nnd Is devastating the whole coun
try, murdering, pillaging and burning.
Grain and cotton ranches arc being aban
doned and the people are going into the
towns for protection.
The whole country is In a state of panic.
Mall routes between the small towns have
been abandoned and provisions are get
ting scarce. Although the country Is over
run with soldiers, he says, the Indians are
fearless and continue their depredations.
St. Clair docs not bellevo It Is safe for
Americans to go into the YaquI country
at this time, as the Yaquls are very hos
tile to Americans.
While going from Ures to his camp in
tho mountains, St. Clair heard firing and
ran Into what had been an Indian ambus
cade. He found two dead Mexicans who
had been killed only a few minutes before
he reached the place. The Yaquls are
armed with rifles and are well supplied
with cartridges, St Clair says.
MAY WHEAT TAXES RIG JUMP
Wall Street Crowd Shakes a Few Dol
lars Out-of Bears.
CHICAGO, April 5. May wheat took a
jump of nearly 4 cents a bushel on the
Board of Trade today. Tho advance took
place In almost as short a time as It takes
to tell about It, and was one of the freak
ish caprices of a manipulated market, such
as that which now exists as the result of
a determined effort on the part of a few
Wall street speculators to shake a few
dollars out of the pockets of the bears in
the wheat pit.

RHEUMATISM

its effects on the system that those afflicted with it find themselves utterly
