GERMANY FEELS NSULTED.
Chinese Minister At Washington Said
to Havo Talked Too Freely.
Purlin, Fb. 20. A sensation has
resulted lu diplomatic circles hero from
the cabling of what purports to Im an
Interview at Washington with the Chi
uece minister to the United Htates, rilr
Chentung Liang Cheng, In which the
Utter Is quoted as rdylng:
"Hinco the dawn of your civilixttlon
tlm (lermani have bcun (lliturlx-rs of
tho iK'flce and repoxe of other ieople
Add nations within what is now the
Christian domnlu. They seem nlwnys
dlscontentinl with what they hnvo.
Their energy ApKHirs to demand the
whnltt world in which to hustle."
The Chinese minister la then raid to
hnvo lutmlnW! that tho present dircon
tent in Clilun Is due to Uerinan meas
ures and Oerman plots, nml is allrgel
to havo further Intimated that the Ger
man government or its agents Is giving
support to tlm revolutionary movement
which has for Its object the overthrow
of the present reigning dynasty In
China.
This Is absolutely nml emphatically
drilled hero, but none of tlio members
of the Foreign ollice would discuss the
matter until the Authenticity of the Al
leged Interview could be substantiated.
It is understood that a long cable dis
patch was received from Huron von
Sternberg, (ierman ambassador to tho
United States, Sunday, bearing on the
subject. If It should prove tlmt tho
statement of Sir I.iang Cheng can be
subataullnttH!, there is n potsihlllty
that China will bo asked to disavow
his remarks. .

EVIDENCE COMPLETE
Colorado Miners Arc Involved in
Murder of Steunenbery.
DENVER TO BOISE BY SPECIAL
Dellevod Also to Havo Taken A,ctlvo
Part In Cripple Creek Out
rages Recently.
Itoise, Idaho, Feb. 20. On a special
train that mndo no stops At the princi
pal cities and towns on the way from
Denver, and changed engines and took
water At obscure points, Charles K.
Moyer, president of tho Western Fed
eration of Miners; William I). Hay
wood, secretary of the same organiza
tion, end O. A. Petlibono, a former
member of the executive board of tho
federation, who were arrested in Den
ver Saturday night charged with tho
murder of Frank Ktetinenherg, ex
governor of Idaho, arrived at Itoise yes
terday morning In custody of a strong
guard of Idaho and Colorado officers.
The prisoners seemed 111 at ease and
had little to say. They entertained
themselves part of tho tlrno playing
cards, and kept their own counsel. At
no time did they discuss the char go up
on which they were arrested.
The party was taken to tho peni
tentiary in two vehicles. Arriving
there, they wero searched, their belong
ings being taken in charge by Warden
Whitney. They wero assigned to sepa
rate cells.
Denver, Colo, Feb. 20. "Heywood,
Moyer and Pettihoue will never sea
Colorado again," says James McPar
land, head of tho detective agency em
ployed hy tho stato of Idaho to run
down the murderers of ex-Governor
btcunanburg. "Their dvs are num
bered. Wo have absolute evidence
that will convict them of complicity in
tho foul assassination of ex-Governor
Htetinenmtrg and eridonce that will
convict a great many others, too, of the
same offense.
"They cannot escapo in any possible
way. and tho legal knowledge of all
their attorneys cannot keep them from
theirallowa. You can say for me that
tho day of dynamite outrages in tho
Weet is at an end. Heywood, Moyer
and others know that they are guilty,
and they know that their time has
come. The Steunenberg assassination
was the final straw that broke the
camel's hack and was their undoing."
MORE RESERVES.
t
President Finds Ho Has Backing of
Many Congressmen.
Washington, Feb. 20. President
Roosevelt, after conferring with West
ern men in congress, finds bis forest re
servo policy is very generally endorsed,
and learns that there Is no prospect of
the passago of Senator Heyburn'a bills
intended to check tho withdrawal of
land and tho creation of reserves. He
has, therefore, decided to abandon his
recent order suspending forest resorve
extension and within a short time new
proclamation will bo forthcoming creat
ing reserves In several Western states,
Oregon snd Idaho among them.
At the time he detei mined to hold
up proclamations, the president bad
been led to believe that bis right to
creato reserves had been generally ques
tioned and he thought it best to wait
until his rights were specifically defined
by congress. Now, however, it has be
come apparent that the vast majority
of men in congress approvo the manner
in which the president lias been carry
ing out his forestry policy and with this
unqualified Indorsement the president
has decided that be can, with good
grace, proceed aa it there bad been no
interruption.
It is Intimated that the Ilayden re
servo In extreme Northern Idaho will
ho the first one created. Just bow
soon. If at all, a roiervo is created in
Southwestern Oregon cannot ho learned,
as Forester Pinahot has promised to re
ceive and consider tho protests of the
people of that section and, until these
protests aro filed, no determination of
this uiHtter Ib expected.

Professor W. It Ayrton points out
that the common expressions "buying
sleetrlcity" and fconsumlug electric
current" nro misleading. No electrici
ty Is used up In lighting buildings,
Jrlvlng machinery, and propelling can
and trains. "Just ns much electricity,
flows away per minute, through the
return conductor, from your electric
ally lighted house as flows to It
through the coming conductor. The
electric current Is like a butcher's cart
carrying round meat you no more
consume current than you consume
cart. It Is not tho vehlclo hut what It
loaves behind that the consumers buy,
moat In the case of tho butcher's cart,
and onergy lu the case of tho electric
current" "
Tho construction of an ordinary telegraph-line

method Is to be employed. Already

exists between Lima and Puerto Her

Tho Pomelo, sometimes called tho

might bo introduced with profit Into
tho southern United States. Already,
It Is understood, a few persons In this
country aro cultivating tho pomelo,
but not upon a commercial scale. In

"lost mountains" the geologists call
them, becauso they nro couuected with
no other range, says Leslie's Weekly.
They nro mere "stubs," tho tops worn
down by tho powerful nctlou of the
elements, nud tho valleys filled by ero

and bleak. Sometimes a bunch of
stray cattle would raugo among the
mouutulus, but no white mnn made his
abode there. Even tho beasts of prey

SHOEING OF AN AFHICAN MULE.
The pirture herewith given comes
from Greytown, Natal, and shows the
method of shoeing a refractory mulo

gion. Ily means of pulleys, ropes and
n wide leather band tho animal Is put
into a frame. Its head resting on a
padded bar, Its front legs bent nnd
fastened to side bars, and Its hind legs
attached to a stout crossbar. To pro
vent damage from tho hoofs two
coarse bags aro tied about them. Thua
protected from all actlvo Interference
on tho part of the animal, tho shocr

On tho opening day of tho Shn-IIo
battle thcro wore many deeds of he
roism, writes the author of "An Eyo
Wltnoss In Manchuria." One Inci
dent, he says, brought out clearly tho
terrlblo nature of tho encounter.
During tho Russian retreat a gen
eral commanding a division noticed an
otllcer and somo forty men returning
through tho lines. It appeared as if
it were a small party which had been
charged with some outpost duty and
had shown tho white feather.
Incensed at their apparent coward
Ice, tho general rode up to the officer
and asked him what ho meant by de
serting his post. With a somowhat
grim smllo the otllcer, saluting, said:
"Sir, this Is all that Is left ofsmy
regiment"
That regiment had gono Into action
over two thousand strong.
