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."

SEATTLE. April 10. A special cable
to the Post-Intelligencer from Valdes,

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-

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."

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

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.

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.
