Fish piracy Is the latest phase of trouble experienced by fishermen off the coast of Siberia, according to re ports received In Seattle by the steam er Corwin, which arrived here from Nome Saturday, says the Seattle Star. Indians living on the Siberian coast who exist by means of fishing and hunting tell of terrible experiences at the hands of Chinese coolies who rav age the const, feed the Indians whis key and then steal tho fish. The fish are then taken to Japan or China and sold. In order to stop this, three Indiana traveled all the way from Siberia to Capo Nome, where they told their story to miners, who have arrivod on the Corwin. The Indians, or Esqulmos, say that the method of the pirates is to ship a sloop equipped with several small boats. These boats cruise along the coast In search of Esqulmos who fish fur salmon. Once found the Indians are spotted until they have secured a good catch. They are then approached by the pirates, who give them "boore. " When tho natives become hopelessly drunk the pirates rob them of their fish, take It back to the vicinity of tho schooner. where they are picked up, after which they cruise about in other localities. When all the boats return with their plunder the schooner makes sail. If she has a sufficient load she returns to China or Japan. If not she cruises along the coast for BO or 100 miles, where the same tactics are employed. Finally several Esqulmos, after failing to secure help from the Si berian side, decided to put across the water. Forty days across the wind swept waters of Bering sea Indians sailed and paddled their canoe. After much hardship and suffering they reached a point north of Nome. The natives also state that the loss of their fish is not the worst phase of the trouble. Fierce quarrels and fights result when the savages become Intoxicated, and several have been cut and slashed in a terrible manner and often barely escape with their lives.

Agricultural Writer Booms the Lone Star State. A writer in the Agricultural Epito- mlst, speaking of alfalfa growing In eastern Texas, says: Every agriculturist is aware of the Important fact that grasses and for age plants constitute the foundation of agricultural prosperity and pro gress. This Is but the re-statement of a fact well known In every civilized country for centuries. The value of grasses and forage plants becomes of vital Importance as population In creases and open ranges decrease. The leading forage plant ot the southwest, alfalfa. Is the one of the greatest value as a hay crop from which from four to six cuttings dur ing the summer can be had and which affords excellent pasturage during the fall and winter. This plant has a great additional value as a soil renovator and enrlcher. It is rich In nitrogen. has a fair percentage of phosphoric acid and a good percentage of potash, the three elements of a complete fertilizer. East Texas is ideal for the growth of this crop. The California colony. located at Lufkln, Angelina county, Texas, planted an area of alfalfa a year ago In May. The land, three or four years In sod, was plowed, har rowed and prepared under the Cali fornia cultural system. In U2 days from planting of the seed the alfalfa had attained a growth of 27 Inches high in blossom, ready for cutting. In view of the fact that east Texas is one of the very best dairy sections in the United States, by reason of the numerous grasses and forage plants that can be so profitably grown Is a very Important fact to every farmer and dairyman who desires a home in our genial, pleasant climate. The Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers has won one of the nm't lengthy, persistent, Btubborn fights ever conducted by that organ ration, In securing an agreement with the Burlington road to sign schedules with the engineers hereafter. At the time of the Burlington, or "Q" strike as It was called, traffic was demoralized on every rond con necting with any of the branches of the Burlington, and hundre Is of en gineers ancf firemen camo west, Rav ing that system In the hands of raw, Inexperienced and Incompetent men, with the result that It was five yearB In organizing Its forces and getting traffic on a paying basis after' the strike. Engines were left standing on the road, at sidetracks, Btatlons, anC in round houses when the order came to strike in 1885, anil the engineers be ing thoroughly organized the company could scarcely move a wheel, so com plete was the tie-up. The engineers had exhausted every possible peaceable method and when the company finally threw down the gauntlet to them they declared the strike and made It the bitterest In the history of railroading. The O. R. & N. got an excellent sup ply of capable and efficient engineers from the "Q" at the time of the strike among them being the following ot the La Grande division: J. H. Hooker, T. F. Patty and I. A. Mayflcid, all now deceased; F. R. Swaney, who ran a helper at Kamela until 1900, when he resigned and is now coduncting a cigar store In La Grande; J. H. Alk'inc, who lost an arm at La Grande four years ago and Is now O. R. & JT. night fore man at that place; John Von Fleet, who lost an eye and Is now running a mine engine In the Sumpter district; George Hansen, who is now on the Kamela helper; Henry Henson, John Gardner and Louis Glvan, now on the passenger run between La Grande and Huntington; besides several others who worked for a few years and then moved on to other roads. All these old employes of the "Q" are well known In Pendleton and are among the finest englnemen In the west. They remained loyal to the brotherhood and left their positions instantly when the strike order was given and have watched the long fight with deep Interest. This victory is at last enjoyed with keen delight by them. They were all young men when on the "Q" many of ' them having Joined the brotherhood while working on that road just prior jto the Btrlke, Bow often do we hear women say: "It seems as though my back would break," or "Don't speak to me, I am all out of aorta?" These significant remarks prove that the system requires attention. Backache and " the blues" are direct symptoms of an Inward trouble which will sooner or later declare itself. It may be caused by diseased kidneys or some uterine derangement. Nature requires assistance and at once, and Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Com round instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women. It bas been the standby of Intelligent American women for twenty years, and the ablest specialists agree that it is the most universally success ful remedy for woman's ills known to medicine. The following letters from Mrs. Eolmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among the many thousands which Mr. Pink bam has received this year from those whom she has relieved. Surely such testimony is convincing. Mrs.J.G. Holmes, of Larimore, North Dakota, writes: TWr Mra Plnkham: . " I have suffered everything with backacb and womb trouble I fa the trouble run on until my system was In such a condition that I was unabl to be about, and then it was I commenced to use Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vege table Compound. If I had only known how much raftering I would have saved, I should have taken it months sooner for a few mU traatmant mads ma wall and strong. My backaches and headaches are all gone and I suffer no rain at mv menstrual period. whereas before I took Lydia K. Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound I suffered intense pain." Mrs. Emma Cotrely, 109 East 12th Street, New York City, writes: Just been received here that an Eng lish officer in Hlndoostan hB discov ered that many ancient Indian temples In out-of-the-way places were con nected with each other by metallic wires and a kind ot telephone. Through archaeological Investigations the same officer has discovered that practical telephone communication somewhat like that ot the present day was known to the inhabitants of In dia more than 2000 years ago.

BrmtMold Regulator Oo., ATLANTA, OA. Constitutionality of the Washington Law Is Questioned. The validity of the annual poll tax ot 12 for road purposes Imposed by state law upon residents of the coun try districts was attacked Saturday at Scuttle by a demurrer served upon Prosecuting Attorney Mackintosh by John V. Huberts, its attorney for V. I S. Ditnner. nays a Walla Walla dis patch. The case is a test case and was in stltuled by the county commissioners for the purpose of establishing the Blatus of the law. This action was taken in recognition of the fact that doubts of the constitutionality of the statute were general, rendering work of the collectors unduly difficult, and bringing the cost of the collections nearly up to the value of the returns. The statute is attacked upon the ground that It Is class legislation, as It Imposes the tax only upon men be tween the uges of 21 and 60. A case from Jefferson county decided by the supreme court is claimed as authority for believing that tho law can be suc cessfully attacked. In this Instance It was an ordinance and not an act of the legislature, that was overthrown, and an additional ex ception was made of firemen, but the defendant In the present suit claims that the principle In the two cases Is the same. Powdhle That it May ISO Accomplished Next Year. Rome, Nov. 20. The matter of the canonization of Christopher Columbus which has been under consideration in the congregation of rites for some time, will be given a new Impetus by the express order of Plus X. Next May the fourth centennial of the death of Columbus will be celebrated under Spanish initiative, and It Is considered desirable at the Vatican that his canonization shall be coinci dent with the anniversary. Thousands of bishops from all over the world have petitioned the Vatican to have the canonization of Columbus considered by the congregation rites. A work published under Plus IX, designed to prove that Columbu was the father of an illegitimate son caused a temporary stay of the cause of canonization, but it was resumed under tho late pope Plu X, soon after his election, received a memorial from many Italian bishops, headed by the Archbishop of Turin, nsklng for a new consideration of the case, and the pope has now given orders that a def inite decision must soon be reached.

Senor Calve, the minister from Costa Ittca, who is the chairman of the com mittee In charge of tho arrangements for the next Pan-American conference, had a conference with Secretary of State Itoot concerning the matter and came to a complete understanding.
