Lett Dangerous to Play,
Porls, July 0. A new gomo of tho
dlnbolo typo Is springing into favor
here, and as tho American patents hnvo
been taken out, "la funds" will no
doubt be seen before Ion,? In America.
"Ln funda" Is a new form of sling, as
Its name shows. A llltlo bag on a
wooden framework Is fixed on a swivel
Into a sort of tennis racket without
strings or top. Tho bottom of thn bsg
Is open, nnd two strong India rubber
bands piovent the ball, a Upnlt ball,
from falling through. The game is to
sling the ball from one player to an
other or up Into tho air, to bo caught
by tho samo player at will.
It needs a certain amount of skill
and Is certainly less dangerous nnd juit
as healthy as dlnbolo. Tho Inventor
is a young German named Sergcr, who
In a domonatratlon which ho gave the
other afternoon threw a tennis ball
higher than tho chimneys of a seven
story house and caught It again with
out apparent effort.

CONGRESS IN BRIEF
Saturday, July 3.
Washington, July 3, Senator Aid
rich achieved another sweeping victory
this afternoon when, by a vota of mora
than 2 to 1, the maximum and mini
mum feature of the senato tariff bill
wns passed. This goes Into effect on
March 1, 1010. It empowers the pres
ident to odd 26 per cent ad valorem to
all existing schedules, whether on tho
free list or dutiable, to those countries
dlicrlmlnating against the United
States.
In other words, whoro foreign na
tions aro disposed to accept trade with
America on tho basis of tho adminis
trative tariff bill, soon to be enacted,
tho statute will not be elastic, but will
stand as passed. Rut where nations
prohibit, by excessive taxes, goods pro
duced In this country, tho president
may retaliate by tho simple issuance
of a proclamation adding 2S per cent
advalorem tn everything coming into
American ports from such restrictive
nations.
Tho bill alma particularly at France.
The French people, aa well aa the Ger
mans, hut the latter to a less obnoxious
extent, earful of tho progress of tho
American manufacturer, have been
raising item after item, so it waa ex
plained today, until now American
goods aro almost prohibited from enter
ing French and German territories.
There remain 17 other administrative
features of tho tariff bill to dispose of
beforo it goes to the house. The report
la tonight that the senate will have
each of them out of tho way by Thurs
day, and that on Monday, July 12, the
lower branch of congress will begin tho
consideration of the meaiuro.

portant than it haa been thla tension.
Tho Republicans still havo a majority
of four.
Twenty-One Lose Places.
Washington, July 10. Seventeen In
spectors and four revenue agents on
the denatured alcohol rolls of the In
ternal ravenuo bureau havo been dis
missed because their servicea aro no
longer needed. Tho expectation that
denatured alcohol would mako rapid
strides in supplanting gasollno as a
motivo power for small farm engines,
automobiles, etc., haa not hold good.
Fear Dark Enumerators.
Wnnhington, July C. Concornod
about what thoy supposo to bo tho jks
albillty that negroes may bo sent into
the homes of whlto residents of tho
South aa census enumerators, Demo
cratic membera of congress will urge
President Taf t to glvo instructions that
only whlto enumerators bo employed in
districts south of tho Mason and Dixon
lino.
Corporations Plan Fight,
Washington, July 10. Confirmation
of tho expectation in many quarters
that tho largo corporations of tho coun
try wlil souk to hold up the collection
of taxes under tho corporation tax bill
by an appeal to tho courts to test the
constitutionality of tho Jaw, was given
hero today by u prominent official of
the Treasury department.
RAISES ITS PRICES.
Deef Trust 8ays Cattle Are Scarce
and Corn High.
Now York, July C. Tho beef trust
has again ordered tho price of its pro
duct raised. Fourteen cents a pound
or pot roast to 28 cents or porter
house and sirloin steaks Is the price.
Thirty cents will be demanded or the
latter cuta In a few days, whllo aver
ago bee will cost tho dealer 10 cents
a pound, ia against the hitherto pre
vailing prico of 10 cents.
The high price of corn and the scar
city of cattle are the reasons aatlgned
by the trust or the Increase in prices.
Aa to why cattle ahould be any acarcer
now than at any other time no answer
ia forthcoming.
Retail butchers explain that the
working people are too poor to buy
beef; that thero ia a leasening In the
demand and consequently a raising in
tho price. It is pointed out that Pat
ten's corner In wheat has Increased the
demand or corn as an article of human
consumption, and that therefore the
price of that grain haa so increased
hat it Is no longer profitable to raise
corn-fed cattle.
Tho officers of the beef trust in the
East are very reticent in discussing
the condition of the beef market.
When an expression of opinion waa
eought from the representative of the
big leaders in the trust, such aa Ar
mour's and Swift's, the inquirer was
referred from one official to another.
Finally a vague statement waa made
to the effect that the market was nor
mal and that existing prices were due
to natural trado conditions.
BODIES IN RUINS.
Work Suspended at Mestina on Ac
count of Hot Weather.
Rome, July C. Thousands of bodies
of the vietima of the December earth
quake that devastated Messina are
stlii in tho ruins of that city and will
not be dug out to receive burial until
winter. In an effort to convince King
Victor that it Is doing every possible
thing toward the ends desired in Mes
sina, tho Interior department today
submitted its first comprehensivo re
port. It is understood tonight that the
king, though not doubting the honesty
of the officials, waa angry that there
bad been ao much delay, and had de
manded speedier work.
In reply to the accusation that no
excavation had been made in the ruins,
the Interior department declares it has
been found necessary to suspend all
work of this nature during the warm
weather. Up to that time 30,000 bod
ies had been recovered. An average
of 300 bodies were removed daily in
April and 900 bodies were awaiting
burial foe lack of grave diggers.
GOLD ORE AS BALLAST.
Santa Fe Road Bed Rich In Precious
Metal.
Chicago, July C Officials of the
Santa Fe road are Inclined to believe
that through tho accidental discovery
of goid and copper in the ballast used
on the Delen cut-off a new rich mining
district will be developed in the Man
rano mountains in Torrance county,
New Mexico.
A fact that adds romantic interest
to tho gold discovery ia that the region
i: adjacent to the deserted city, which
ia supposed to havo been Spanish and
which ia known aa Gran Quivera.
There are legendary atorlea of old Span
ish mines which are supposed to have
been productive hundreds of years ago,
but which were abandoned. Now that
gold has been discovered in tho region
theso stories are being revived and
many are flocking into the mountalna
and are staking out claims everywhere.
The discovery of gold ia largely due
to ono of the engineers of tho com
pany, who ia located at the general
offices in Chicago. Not along ago this
engineer was walking track between
Helen and Willard and while in a deep
cut he picked up a chunk of ballast
which had a chomical stain upon it.
Tho atone was brought to Chicago, and
it was found to be highly infused with
gold. Some of tho ballast which was
being used on the Belen cutoff waa then
sent for and was found to assay about
$3 worth of gold to the ton.
Country Lures City Folk.
Now York, July C More than 1,
000,000 persons, ono-third tho popula
tion of Manhattan, left this city Satur
day to spend tho holiday and week end
in tho country. It was the greatest
exodus in tho history of New York and
riot sovoral times was averted among
tho throngs that filled t he steamboat
piers. Every trolley car, train and
Bteamboat was Uxed to Its capacity
and more than 30,000 men, women nnd
children wero compelled to return to
their homos because the excursion
craft could not accommodate them.
Trust In No Danger.
New York, July 6. Thero is little
probability that thero will be any prose
cution of tho sugar trust until August,
when United States Dlstrcit Attorney
Wise, who sailed Saturday for Europo,
returns to Now York. Tho failure of
the Federal grand jury to file indict
monta In Its Investigation of the Amer
ican Sugar Refining company adds to
this Impression,
EXTERMINATE BAND
Troops Kill Every Man of Miffs
Filipino Outlaws.
FIGHT DESPERATELY TO FINISH
Jlklri, One of Many Famous Outlaws
Remaining In Jolo, Had Mado
Many Murderoua Raids.
Manila, July 6. In a desperate fight
near Patlan, on Jolo island, yesterday,
Jlklri, the famous Moro outlaw chief,
was killed and his entire band exterm
inated by detachments of regulars and
constabulary under Captain George L.
Uiram, of the Sixth United State- cav
alry, operating in conjuntion with a
naval flotilla of the mosquito fleet tin
der Lieutenant Commander Slgnor.
Tho American loss waa one private
killed and three officers and 20 enlisted
men and one tailor wounded.
Captain Biram'a cavalry, with a few
scouts and constabulary and a detach
ment of tailors under Lieutenant Com
mander Slgnor, located and attacked
the outlaws in the mountains far from
tho coast. The Moros fled and took
refuge in a large cave. The column
of troops and sailors surrounded the
place, but Jikir! refuted to surrender.
A concerted attack was made, the
Moros fighting desperately in the
mouth of the cave until the last mem
ber of the band waa dead. J At yet but
few details of the fight have .been re
ceived here.
Jikiri was ono of the most famous
outlaws remaining in the islands. Ever
since the American occupation he baa
fought the whites and has led raid al
ter raid.
DEATH LIST CUT.
Annual Patriotic Carnage Is Greatly
Reduced.
Chicago, July 6. With three daya
celebration of the nation's birthday
this year, the remarkable fact stands
out boldly that the annual carnage baa
been decreased to a great degree. Ad
vices from all points up to midnight
show that in all largo cities now roles
and their strict enforcement have
checked the customary slaughter of
children.
In New York thero were but fear
deaths for the three days. In Chicago,
usually drenched with blood under the
guise of patriotism, there was not a
single death for the three days. In
Washington thero were no deaths and
no injuries, and only the smallest fire
crackers were permitted.
Five deaths aro reported from the
state of Massachusetts, one each in
Boston and other large cities. One
death is reported from Philadelphia.
Tho entire state ox Oklahoma reports.
but two deaths and nino serious injur
ies. Small cities in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania and Far Western locali
ties seemed most patriotic in casual
ties this year. In every case this can
be traced to lax police regulations.
CUSHMAN IS DEAD.
Congressman from Wathlngton Panes
Away at New York.
New York, July 6. Francis W.
Cushman, representative in congress
from Washington, died at 5 o'clock
this morning at the Rosevelt hospital
from pneumonia. At the bedside at
the time were, besides the doctors and
nurtes, United States Senator Samuel
II. Piles, of Washington, and Andrew
S. Burleigh, of this city, a life long
friend.
Congressman Cushman underwent an
operation a short time ago and pneu
monia resulted.
Senator Piles and Mr. Burleigh, who
had been with the patient almost con
stantly since his condition became ser
ious, said thoy would make arrange
ments for tho sending of the body to
Washington.
Powers Block Russians.
Pekin, July C Groat Britain, Austria-Hungary
and tho United State
have notified China that they do not
recognize tho preliminary agreement
between Russia and China devised for
administration of the Russian railroad
area in Manchuria. These powers de
clare also that tho laws affecting tho
right to reside in tho international set
tlement in China must originate with
tho treaty powers. The negotiations
on, this subject, which wero opened last
month, are now blocked for an indefi
nite time
Revolution In Colombia.
Guayaquil, Ecuador, July C. A pri
vate cablegram from Nuena states
that a revolution has broken out at
Barranqullla, the most important com
mercial city of Colombia, against Gen
oral Jorge Ilolguin, who is acting pres
ident in the absence of President
Reyes, and in favor of Gonzales Valencia.
