KEPT BLOODY OATH.
Maro Bandit. Jiklri, Had Sworn -to
. - - Kill IOO Men.
Manila, July . When JiklrL the
Mora bandit chief who was killed with
all his followers in a desperate battle
with troops and constabulary near Pn-
tian, on Jolo Island, July 6, began bis
career as an outlaw, be swore he would
kill 100 men before he died.
The record of the murders he-committed
is not complete, but it stated
in a dispatch received today from Zam
boanga that the bandit probably made
good his oath, as the partial record at
hand shows be took the lives of nearly
a hundred persons.
From the latest reports of the fight,
all but one of the several women in the
cave where the outlaws made their last
stand were wives of JikirL
But one of the women escaped. , She
was the wife of one of the Jikirt fol
lowers and accepted the safe conduct
offered by the Americans before the
assault on the cave began.
Lieutenant Joseph A. Beer, of tbe
Sixth cavalry, is agreed by all who saw
the fight to have been the hero of the
battle. He was armed with a Win
chester DumDcrun with which be did
great execution. His timely rescue of
Lieutenant Arthur H. Wilson, who was
struggling with Jikirl and already des
perately wounded, when Beer shot and
killed the bandit, and bis certain aim,
which brought down three other out
laws, are the talk of army circles.
Baer killed lour of the eight bandits

TAX ALL INCOMES IS1PLAN.
National Manufacturers Association Is
auee Statement.
Naw York. July SO. Tbs board of
directors of toe National Association
of Manufacturers today issued the fol
lowing statement addreeted "To the
Congress of the United States:"
"The National Association of Manu
facturers indorses any reasonable meas
ure to secure by tax the requisite mon
ey which, together with the tariff du
ties, snail be sufficient to support this
government.
"We deplore tbs effort of dema
gogues to segregate American eitisens
and make government supporters of
one class and charity recipients of an
other: well knowing the character of
our best-grade workmen, we understand
that they do not relish attempts to
maks of them recipients of any other
man's contributions.
"We therefore recommend If neces
sary for" income purposes, the enact
ment of measures providing a Just and
equitable tax upon all eitisens. As an
illustration, ws suggest one-eighth of
1 per cent on all incomes; this would
require 75 cents from the man who re
ceives 1600 a year and $1,260 from the
man woo receives $1,000,000 a year.

Constantinople, July SO. The report
of the courtmartial on the Adana mas

denunciation of tha incapacity and
apathy of the police and ether local eu
thorties. It says:
"Fifteen pereona already have been
banged; 800 deserve death; 16,000 de
serve hard labor for life; 80,000 de
serve minor sentences.
'If It is decided to proceed with the
punishment, we will cordon the town
and deal expeditiously with the mat
ter." In view, however, of the general
reconciliation between the opposing
elements, the report recommends that
general amnesty he made the occasion
of a national fete.

London, July 17. One hundred and
forty-eight British warships dropped
anchor hvtbe Thames tonight, the ar
ray extending from the estuary at the
sooth end of the river to Weetlminster
bridge. In the bf art of London. The
object of this extended and superb dis
play of Britain's fighting power is an
anti-penis show. Uneasiness prevails
in every quarter of Britain. Anxiety
In higher circles as to the condition of
the country's defenses has caused ap
prehension and pessimism throughout
the body politic.
Lord Roberts says tbs) arm y la a
tragic joke. Admiral Beresford says
the navy is not what it has been con
sidered. And Germany Is excused of
having aggressive designs against the
peace and liberty of the Britons. The
result of all this ferment is that the
country is fn danger of "going off its
head." The nighty armada on the
Thames Is the admiralty's heroic seda
tive.

EXILES OCT PRES.
'T.
Siberian' Convicts Land In Alaska nut
- Are Not.Wanted.
Cordova, Alaska.' July It. The St
Croix has brought here 100 Russians,
part of the 800 landed at Nome by the
Russian steamer Vaarg and held up as
the result of a Nome mass meeting,
but Anally landed when it was found
they had the- necessary amount of
money. Cordova objects to their land
ing and they may be taken to Seattle.
Among the party are several who
are believed to be members of tbe
band of political convicta who escaped
from a penal colony in tbe Interior of
Siberia several months ago and who on
June 20, were reported to be working
their way toward East cape, on tbe ex
treme Eastern coast of Siberia in an
effort to cross the Be bring straits and
reach America.
Tbe men believed to be tbe escaped
convicts are wearing old Coseack' uni
forms. These men have been keeping
their own counsel, re losing to com
municate even with the other Russians
who cams down from tbe North with
them.
The party reached Nome from Si
beria on the Russian steamer Vaarg.
After arriving In Nome the men re
embarked on the steamer St. Croix, and
came to this port, where they asked
for work In tbe construction camps of
tbe Copper River ft Northwestern rail
road. The uniforms worn by tbs men sup
posed to be tbe escaped political exiles
show very hard usage. It is believed
tbe clothes were taken from the guards
killed in tbe battle at Chupotosk, near
the Arctic circle last March, when tbe
convicts defeated a company of pursu
ing Coasecka.
The Russians who came front Nome
oh tbe same vessel with the suspected
men profess to know nothing of their
identity, and share the belief that they
are the survivors of tha band of exiles
who were fighting their wsy across 1,
500 miles of Siberian waste.

Tbe total for three days In Spokane

000 each. Tbe crowds at the hotels
are easing off and it appears that many
who havs corns West to flic are passing
through to Seattle to see tbe exposition
first and are planning to apply on their
Way back.
At Coeur d'Alene, where . serious
trouble among tbe notaries was threat
ening, an agreement has been reached
whereby all will get together, banish
competition and pool receipts.
Notaries here say that about one out
of every 10 applicants is a woman, in
almost all cases from the East seeking
s home in tbe West Many of the men
who apply look upon it as a huge gs co
ble. Tbe women, however, are in
earnest. Wisconsin,, Minnesota, Illi

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, July 16. Reg
istration for lands in the Coeur d'Alene
Indian reservation commenced In tbe
city at 18 o'clock last night and will
con elude at midnight on August 6. A
heavy registration at least 100,000
people Is sxpeeted, and the notarise
are ready to do their share of the labor
connected with tbe opening.
Many of them were already central
ly located and are in their old offices,
but others have constructed temporary
buildinge id tbe business section.- A
charge of 26 cents will be msde for re
ceiving applications, but there is noth
ing to prevent a notary from acting as
agent for applicants, in which esse ha
will notify has clients as to their suc
cess in the drawing and receive a com
pensation for it.
All the hotels snd lodging bouses
have prepared for the rush, and every
available room will be used. Some of
tbe hotels have rented buildings and
equipped them with beds snd' many In
dividuals have secured buildings and
equipped tbm for sleeping purposes.
Yet with all of these aeaxnmodations
It is feared tbe large crowd will not be
amply provided for.
James W. Witton, superintendent in
charge of the opening of tbe reserves,
estimates that 100,000 men and women
will file for lands, many applying for
all three reservationa, making a grand
total of probably 800,000 applications.
From 16,000 to 20.000 spplicationa
from veteran soldiers and sailors are
expected. A single notary already haa
210 veterans listed for filings.
Some of tbe homesteads to be drawn
August 9 are valued at fl 6, 000 to 120,
000. It is believed about one applicant
in 16 will be able to aecora a homestead
worth taking up.
Miss Harriet Post, daughter of At
torney P. T. Post, of Spokane; Miss
Helen Hamilton, of Coeur d'Alene,
daughter of Genera Ortis Hamilton,
and Miss Christina Donian. daughter of
Judge Donian, of Missoula, have been
chosen to draw all tbe numbers for ap
plicants for lands in tbs Coeur d'Alene,
Spokane and Flathead reservationa re
spectively. On August 9 these girls, who are
about 12 years old, will be blindfolded
and placed beside the hugh piles of
probably 2u0,000 envelopes containing
applications for lands. These they will
draw at random, homeaaskers being
given their choice of lands in tbe order
in which the names are drawn.
There Is little evidence of a rush to
file spplicationa in Spokane for tbe
Spokane reservation, but there will be
a crash on the trains to Coeur d'Alene,
86 miles distant.
