REVEALSMUGGLINGSCKEME CANADIAN'S ENGAGED IX TRAF FIC TALK TOO 51 CCU. Bitter Rivalry Rosults In IlHcovcry of Underground1 Railroad for Contraband Chinese. PET RIOT. April 10. The Free Press to morrow will say: Through the bitter vivalry of three Canadian organizations for smuggling Chines into the United Slates a wilde st 1 scheme of bringing the Orientals Illegally arrows the International border at Uetrolt was discovered yesterday. It Is said that some night as many as 25 Chinese have, been smuggled across the line and that several comfortable fortunes have been made at the business during the past two years by enterprising young men who have made Windsor, Ont., their he adfiuarters. The immigration authorities here have scant hope of reaching the principals of the competing agencies, but a man who gives his name as A. C. MeCann is held at the Wayne County Jail in connection with the capture last Tuesday of three Chinese at Adrian, Mich. The Chinese ami McCann were found In a Wabash boxcar bound for Chicago. There was a dead horse in the car and the four men were concealed under the straw. The i)au was to engage a froightcar at De troit for the shipment of a horse, aome worthless animal being placed in the car for a ttlind. The Chinese. It Is said, have been brought across the Petroit River on car ferries, being hidden with the connivance of employee on the boats when the im migration inspectors had made their rounds, and then hurriodly directed to the frelghtcars. The following day they would be transferred to other cara and sent to Detroit or Chicago. ITINERARY IS GIVEN OUT Admiral Thomas Announces Plans for Fleet's Voyage North. . MAGDALKXA BAT. April Via Han Plego. Cal.. April 10. The Atlantic fleet sails Saturday at 4 P. M. for San IMego. the first of the California c;ties to extend a greeting to the battleships after their long; sojourn In foreign ports. The entire programme of the trip from Magdalena to San Francisco, occupying nearly one month, has been mapped out. aen to the last detail of time for arrival and departure at the various porta. The fleet will pass out of Magdalena Bay in single column formation, the Connecticut flying- the flan of Hear Admlral Charles M. Thomas at the after masthead. Squadron formation a double column of ships, eight in each line will likely be the. steaming order tip the Coast. A corrected Itinerary for the fleet has been Issued by Admiral Thomas. The schedule from Magdalena to San Francisco covers a total of 1050 knots. The arrival at Sun Francisco lightship Is given as May 5, 9 P. M.. departure May 6. noon, and final anchorage at San Francisco May 6 at 2 P. M. The formation of the fleet at each port Is directed explicit- and the exact bearing; of the ships Indicated. At San ntego the formation Is to be a line, of division, or four lines of ships, with the flugship of each division heading-, the Connecticut and first division being nearest Coronado. The lines will be BOO yards apart. At San Pedro the anchorage will be In fleet column or single line of ships, beaded by the Connecticut. The flap ship and first division will be Inside of the breakwater, the remainder of the line extending southwest at a dis tance of 400 yards apart. At Santa Barbara the anchorage will be In line of squadrons, or two lines of eight ships each with first squadron, headed by the flagship, anchoring aJ most parallel with the shore, the aec ond squadron BOO yards farther out. At Point Harford the formation will be the same as at San Diego. At Monterey tha fleet will round the whistling buoy at Point Plnos in single column, changing to line of divisions aa tha shipa approach anchorage. At Santa Crur. the anchorage will be the same as at Santa Barbara. According to this Itinerary the fleet will remain at San Francisco lightship ov.T night, or from 9 P. M.. May 6. to noon. May 6. The anchorage there will depend upon existing conditions. The final anchorage at San Francisco will be in line of divisions, the first division headed by the Connecticut be ing nearest shore. Admiral Thomas has made the fol lowing request of the Associated Press: "1 wish that you would convey my requet to the people of California that, as far as may be possible, they refrain from furnishing the men of the fleet with intoxicating liquors. I would consider it a personal favor If they would do so. It is nearly always the case when our men reach a nome port that some of the people are Inclined to offer them liquor. Many consider It a part of the entertainment. and perhaps It is. but it works a bad end." CANNOT GO III ALMA AMERICAN' AUTO IS KETinXl.VG TO hEATTLK. IH-pth of Snow and Chuck-Holos Make Progress Impossible Will Sail for Vladivostok. SEATTLE. April 10. A special cable to the Post-Intelligencer from Valdes, Alaska, says: The American automobile and crew left on the steamer Bertha this afternoon for Seattle.. A public reception was given them last night by the Chamber of Com merce at midnight and the crew staru to Inspect the trail. They went 10 miles. Schuster, when interviewed, said the Alaskans had his sympathy. as the depth of the snow and the chuck-holes absolutely prohibit any. chance of the automobiles running a mile. He says he will return to Seattle and ship for Vladivostok to make up the time lost on the Alaskan trip. He will at tempt to charter the sea-going tug Wai- cott ut Orca to take the ear and cr. across to Siberia. It is doubtful It tli, can be done. SAX FRANCISCO, April 10. Two foreign cars in th international automobiie race from New York to Paris, the French ma chine, Ie Dion, and the Sust. carrying the Italian racers, left San Francisco this morning on the Pacific Coast steamer City of Puebla, bound for Puget Sound ports. From Seattle the racers will Journey to Valdez, Alaska, BANNERMAN IS WEAKER rtx-Premlcr's Vitality i'ails King's Physicians in Consultation. LONDON. April 10. Sir Henry Camp-bell-Bannerman passed a restful night, but his weakness has increased. Only yesterday his physician permitted him to sit up in bed and read the newspapers, but those knowing the real state of Sir Henry a health confess that this fact gave them no hope, as the patient's vitality is gradually lowering. Sir Thomas Barlow, physician to King Edward's household, and Dr. Bcrtrand Dawson, physician extraordinary to His Majesty, were called in consultation with Sir Henry's regular physician thia after noon. The gravity of the ex-Premier's condition was further evidenced by the issuance of a bulletin this evening. This is the first time In several weeks that a second daily bulletin haa been given out. This communication says: "Sir Henry had a quiet day, but there Is no Improvement In his symptoms. Al though he has had comparatively little suffering, he is very weak." ALli DENOUNCE AL1K1CH BILL Business Leaders Argue Against It Before House Committee. WASHINGTON. April 10. Four repre sentatives of large commercial interests wore before the House committee on banking and currency today, all of them opposing the Aldrich currency bill, which they declared would do no good and might result in much barm to the busi ness interests of the country. Victor Morawetz of New York made an exten sive argument against the bill. The speakers were K. "W. Clark, of Detroit; Frank De la Lanne', of Phila delphia, and Horace White, of New York. The hearing will be resumed Monday. MAY SEN1 SPECIAL MESSAGE President Has Not Given Vp Hope for- New Battleships. WASHINGTON. April 10. President Roosevelt's known desire that building of four batleshlps shall be authorized by Congress during its present session may result In the sending in of a special mes sage urging that action. It was said at the White House today that, while no message on the subject is now in course of preparation, the final determination as to whether it will be written has not been reached. TALES TOLD BY THE TEETH Hemarkable Facta About the In cisors of Ien and Animals. London Answers. Teeth are not bones, as most people imagine them to be. Though they are attached to the skeleton, they are not a part of It, They develop from the dermis or akin, and are. as a rule, made up of three substances "dentine," "cement," and "enamel." Enamel Is the hardest of all animal substances. It actually contains more than parts in 100 of mineral matter- mainly phosphate of limp; while bone contains only 60 per cent. This accounts for the fact that teeth are more In destructible than any other part of the animal frame. What is more wonderful still is that the tooth is the keynote of the frame. An expert anatomist needs only to be shown a tooth or two In order to recon struct from them the animal from whose Jaw they originally cam and this al though the animal Itself has been dead 10.000.000 years, and Us kind extinct for almost as long. Not only do the teeth show what their owner looked like, whether it was animal, lizard, fish, or bird some extinct birds used to possess teeth but a study, of a set of these useful organs will show what the creature used to feed on, and. Incidentally, tell a great deal about its life and habita. Teeth vary in form and number more than any other animal organs. An ele phant, for Instance, has usually only four teeth In use besides his tusks. But they are big enough to make up in site what they lack in number. The teeth of the elephant tribe are so different from those of other animals that, when a fossil la dug up. the geologist can at once be certain to what race of crea tures it belonged, and is able to recon struct the gigantic mastodon, or hairy mammoth, in whose jaw It originally grew. At the other end of the scale, in point of number of teeth, comes the snail. The common garden snail la the happy pos sessor of 135 rows each of 105 teeth, or a matter of 14,175 teeth in all. The teeth of fish vary more greatly than those of any other known crea tures. Their teeth are not divided Into Incisors, canines and molars, as In ani mals, but almost every different kind of fish has differently shaped teeth. Sharks, for 4nstance. have several rows of .teeth, all extremely sharp-pointed. The front row stands up erect, but those behind are more or less recumbent. There Is never any difficulty in identifying a shark's tooth. Mqst flsh have a great number of teeth. The dolphin, for instance, possesses 200, but there are others like the sturgeon which have no teeth at all. Almost all tteb sharks especially shed their teeth frequently, and grow new ones to re place them. Snake's teeth the poison-fangs, that is have the same peculiarity. There are always fresh ones In reserve to take the place of those which get broken, A rat tlesnake may have as many as ten of these reserve teeth. Snakes" fangs are very sharp, very elastic, and. contrary to common belief, never hollow, but pro vided with a groove, along which the poison flies. The sharp tusks of the crocodile and all flesh-eating lizards need only to be seen once to be easily identified afterward. Some reptiles are toothless, These are tortoises, turtles and toads. A frog may easily be distinguished from a toad from the fact that the latter has no teeth. while, the former has teeth in the upper Jaw, but none in the lower. RIOTS ARE BELFAST'S FUN , A Year Seldom Passes Without Some Trouble in the Irish City. Kansas City Star. Belfast is the chief commercial and manufacturing' city of Ireland, and is the capital of the Province of Ulster. It is about S6 miles northwest of Dublin, on the River La gran. The riots of Belfast have long been a feature of the city's career. To the ordi nary Englishman, the Belfast riots are a puzzle as difficult to solve as the Irish character itself. The first great riots in Belfast were in 1MJ4. In 1S74 there was a recurrence of the outbreak, but it w In 1885 that the climax came, when between May and Au gust some 33 persons were actually shot dead or died subsequently from gunshot wounds, while more than 300 others were more or less seriously injured. For the next ten or twelve years com parative peace reigned, and It was be lieved the hatchet had been buried for ever. But It was felt in some quarters that the centenary of 1898 should not be allowed to pass over without a demon stration of some sort, and so the descend ants of the men of 1T98 had their demon stration in June of 189$, and once again party feeling was stirred up and riots fol lowed as the natural corollary. Since then they have become an annual event. The youth of Belfast, both Unionist and Nationalist, are never ha.ppy except when 'demonstratin:.M If anything, the woman demonstrator ia the more noisy and nox ious element of the two. The population of Belfast Is about two-thirds Unionist to the core perhaps ultra-loyal is a better definition; the other third is Nationalist to the backbone, and an opportunity is never lost by these two sections of the working class community of exhibiting their adherence to the principles for which they are prepared to shed the last drop of their blood. The term Orangemen la applied to all Protestants alike by the other side, while the Catholics are vari ously designated as "Tagues," "Fenians" and 'Papists. These sectarian or party feuds are banded down from father to son and from mother to daughter, and as surely as the 17th of March, the 6th of June (the date of the inauguration of the Irish rebel lion), or the 12th of July (on which day the Orangemen celebrate the battle of the Boyne), comes round, so surely comes also a crop of broken heads and broken window glass. ' The formation of the streets of Belfast Is altogether in favor of the rioters, and a these streets are mostly paved with small whins tones of the kidney species, the supply of ammunition la unlimited. The year of the last severe riots, 1901, It was believed that nothing would arise to revive the smoldering fires of sectari anism. There was no very remarkable vent to' celebrate. At all event, jo the respectable portion of the community be lieved. But they were mistaken. The Pope's jubilee came along. To obtain the promised "indulgences" a series of visita tions to various churches in the city was organized, and after a time the members of the different Catholic confraternities began to march to these places of worship in processional order. No one took any particular notice of these until it entered the mind of a sood bishop of the diocese to have a combined procession to a given rendezvous on the first Sunday after the feast of Corpus Christl. Almost at once all sorts of ru mors tilled the air. The most tangible of these was that the Catholics of Belfast were going to , march en masse to St. Malachy's College grounds to protest against the 'King's coronation oath. Twenty thousand Protestants immedi ately resolved that they would not toler ate anything of the sort. They stoned the procession and kicked and cuffed any stray members who became momentarily detached in the crush from th main body. There mufit have been close on 30. 000 persons in the immediate vicinity of the college grounds at the time. They boo-ed and jeered at the celebrants, and even spat in the faces of the accompany ing priests. Arrests on an extensive scale followed. In every Instance the tine waa promptly paid, the necessary sureties were forthcoming and the parties were re leased. . ThieTcs Ate Snake Eggs. Rising Sun, Md., DTspatch to Philadel phia Record. Robbers enjoyed a feast of fried rniake eggs in the barn of Henry Bur kens the other night. The night previous thieves emptied his feed boxes and, desiring to punish the suspected intruders, Burkens spread an invitation broadcast that, if they would return that night, he would not onIy"provide food for their stock, but include a supper for themselves. In sawing down an old tree, early in the week, Burkens found nine snake eggs and packed them away in cotton, intend ing to present them to the Philadelphia Zoological Garden. Before retiring last night he partly tilled the feed box, and, frying the snake eggs, made them into sandwiches which he wrapped in a nap kin and placed on top of the feed. This morning the feed box was empty and cruftg of bread on the floor showed the lunch had been eaten. COFFEE It is as easy to have good coffee as poor.
